SIGN    Episode 8 "A Gift
    More Lovely Than Jewels"
[00:05] woman
    Freshly caught today!
[00:08] Marie
    Kyros, may I look at that stall, too?
[00:11] Kyros
    Yes, of course.
[00:14] Marie; internal
    These spices are for Toppo.
[00:17] Marie; internal
    These flower seeds are for Johan.
[00:20] Marie; internal
    This bracelet is lovely, too!
[00:25] Kyros
    These are all gifts for
    everyone back at the castle.
[00:28] Marie
    Well, it's fun.
[00:30] Marie
    And you can't really say anything
    about anyone else, Kyros.
[00:34] Marie
    All you've bought are gifts for me.
[00:36] Kyros
    Looks like we should stop by the carriage
    to drop things off, don't you think?
[00:40] Marie
    Yes, you're right.
[02:14] Marie
    Is this... the artisans quarter?
[02:17] Kyros
    This shop is a purveyor to the royal family.
[02:19] Kyros
    I've agreed to meet Luiphon here.
[02:29] Giovanni
    Thank you for visiting our shop,
[02:32] Giovanni
    Count Granado.
[02:34] Kyros
    Giovanni! It's been a while, hasn't it?
[02:37] Kyros
    Is Luiphon here?
[02:38] Giovanni
    Yes, he's on the second floor taking a nap.
[02:41] Kyros
    He summons me here, then takes a nap?
[02:44] Kyros
    Marie, please wait here for me.
    He's got a habit of sleeping naked.
[02:48] Marie
    I will.
[02:53] Marie; internal
    They must process precious
    stones at this shop.
[02:58] Marie; internal
    I wonder what these are.
[03:01] Giovanni
    These are fragments produced during
    the design-cutting process.
[03:04] Giovanni
    They come from high quality jewels.
[03:06] Marie
    Really? They're beautiful.
[03:09] Giovanni
    If you thread them, they can also
    be used to make modest accessories.
[03:13] Giovanni
    As you are the count's guest, we'll happily
    gift you as many as you like.
[03:17] Marie
    What?!
[03:18] Marie; internal
    All I did was follow Lord Kyros here,
    and he'll give them to me for free?
[03:29] Marie; internal
    What a beautiful green.
[03:38] Marie
    I-If I were to buy these,
    how much would they cost?
[03:42] Giovanni
    What?
[03:43] Giovanni
    Well...
[03:46] Giovanni
    Something close to this amount.
[03:49] Marie; internal
    They aren't inexpensive, but at this price...
[03:53] Marie
    I-I'll take these, please.
    And I will, of course, pay for them.
[03:59] Giovanni
    Understood.
[04:09] Marie; internal
    I've hardly ever even touched any jewels.
[04:12] Marie; internal
    I never imagined I'd buy any myself.
[04:15] Luiphon in disguise
    Why hello, Miss! Have you bought
    yourself something nice there?
[04:19] Marie; internal
    What? Could this be that
    "being picked up" thing?
[04:23] Marie
    Yes, thank you!
[04:25] Marie
    But I'm here with someone,
    so if you'll excuse me!
[04:28] Luiphon in disguise
    What? What is this person
    like? Is he handsome?
[04:32] Marie
    H-He's wonderful! Very much so!
[04:35] Luiphon in disguise
    In what way? His looks? His
    personality? Do you share interests?
[04:38] Luiphon in disguise
    Have you kissed?
[04:40] Marie
    H-His looks and personality
    are both wonderful!
[04:42] Marie
    We share interests,
    and he's a wonderful fiancé!
[04:44] Marie
    And as for kissing, we are
    likely to do so very soon!
[04:49] Marie
    What? L-Lord Kyros?
SIGN    Death
    by Cuteness...
[04:51] Kyros
    S-Sorry.
[04:53] Kyros
    And you, Luiphon! Weren't you
    napping on the second floor?
[04:58] Luiphon
    Hey, my dear Marie! It's been a while.
[05:00] Luiphon
    It's me, Prince Luiphon!
[05:01] Marie; internal
    O-Once again, this man has...
[05:04] Luiphon
    Now, then.
[05:05] Luiphon
    I know it's sudden, but let's finish up
    the business that I called you here for.
[05:11] Luiphon
    This is in celebration of your betrothal.
[05:16] Kyros
    A ruby?
[05:17] Kyros
    No. A pink diamond?
[05:19] Kyros
    But it's very red for one of those.
[05:21] Luiphon
    It's an incredibly rare red diamond!
[05:24] Luiphon
    Search the world and you won't
    find another of this size.
[05:27] Kyros
    It's magnificent.
[05:29] Kyros
    It must be a national treasure.
[05:30] Luiphon
    Indeed!
[05:32] Luiphon
    During the war, this rare item was used to
     negotiate alliances with other nations.
[05:36] Luiphon
    Though ever since then, it has
    slept in the royal palace treasure vault.
[05:41] Luiphon
    You can have it for eighty million euiro.
    I'll give you a friends discount.
[05:44] Kyros
    You're telling me to buy it?
[05:46] Luiphon
    I convinced all those strait-laced old men
    in a meeting of the royal family, you know?
[05:50] Luiphon
    I said, "If any of us royals were to wear it,
[05:53] Luiphon
    our people would say to stop
    wasting their taxes and revolt."
[05:56] Marie; internal
    Is that how it works?
[05:58] Luiphon
    Though if I said it was a gift for Count
    Granado, no one would be able to complain.
[06:05] Marie
    What?
[06:06] Luiphon
    Sweet Marie, the Granado family's wealth
    currently exceeds that of the royal family.
[06:11] Luiphon
    The highway that the then
    Margrave Granado laid down...
[06:15] Luiphon
    The checkpoints and harbor he built
    to collect taxes from the merchants...
[06:20] Luiphon
    Duchess Liu Liu and Kyros'
    skillful mercantile abilities...
[06:24] Luiphon
    That's how the House of Granado
    obtained their immense wealth.
[06:28] Luiphon
    These days, nobility alone
    doesn't guarantee a life of ease.
    
[06:32] Luiphon
    If they can't change with the times, even the
    most distinguished families will quickly fall.
[06:38] Luiphon
    Like Baron Shaderan's family did.
[06:43] Marie; internal
    He doesn't mean that as a slight towards me.
[06:45] Marie; internal
    Wealth is a weapon. One used to protect
    one's people and other precious things.
[06:53] Marie
    Yes, and as a member of the House of Granado,
[06:56] Marie
    I will be diligent about
    never neglecting my studies.
[07:00] Kyros
    Marie.
[07:04] Luiphon
    I'll make it 70 million!
[07:06] Luiphon
    Dear Kyros, you have been
    searching, haven't you?
[07:09] Luiphon
    For a gem that matches the color of her
    hair, the most beautiful jewel in the world!
[07:14] Kyros
    I wanted it to be a surprise
    for the betrothal ceremony!
[07:19] Kyros
    It's just that the distinct charm
     of this color is so unique...
[07:24] Kyros
    I thought of you right away.
    
[07:27] Marie; internal
    Does he mean the color of my hair?
[07:30] Marie; internal
    But it's usually something
    that people disdain and avoid.
[07:34] Kyros
    Thank you, Luiphon, for searching out
    something so perfectly suited to us.
[07:44] Luiphon
    You're very welcome.
[07:46] Luiphon
    But it'll still take a few
    days to turn it into a ring.
[07:55] Marie
    Thank you for before.
[07:59] Marie
    When I heard that you'd been looking
    for a gem the color of my hair,
[08:03] Marie
    it made me very happy.
[08:06] Kyros
    Y-Yes. I hoped it might delight you.
[08:11] Marie
    I thought that your kindness was simply
    you being considerate towards me,
[08:15] Marie
    so I've always shied away from it.
[08:17] Marie
    But now, I understand how you feel.
[08:23] Marie
    This is a gift for you.
[08:26] Kyros
    Wh-What?
[08:28] Marie
    When I was picking out presents for
    everyone, I secretly bought this.
[08:33] Marie
    Will you accept it?
[08:36] Marie
    As long as it isn't an imposition!
[08:52] Kyros
    It looks good, right?
[08:56] Marie
    You look quite dashing!
[08:58] Marie
    And, actually, I also have this.
[09:03] Kyros
    Emerald fragments?
[09:05] Marie
    Yes.
[09:06] Marie
    I thought that it might look nice if
    I sewed them on the ends like this.
[09:10] Marie
    And the last one is for me.
[09:12] Kyros
    You like emeralds?
[09:15] Marie
    No.
[09:17] Marie
    It's only that I thought they
    matched the color of your eyes.
[09:20] Kyros
    My eyes?
[09:22] Marie; internal
    The moment I thought
    they looked like his eyes...
[09:26] Marie; internal
    I suddenly wanted those fragments.
[09:29] Marie; internal
    I dearly wanted to make them my own.
[09:36] Marie
    It's a little hot, isn't it?
[09:39] Marie
    I'm going to open the window.
[09:53] Kyros
    Watch out!
[09:57] Kyros
    What happened? Did something
    out there cause you concern?
[10:01] Marie
    N-No, it's nothing.
[10:03] Marie
    I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking properly.
[10:10] Marie
    Today, I was so happy.
[10:12] Marie
    Because you held my hands.
[10:15] Marie
    I've always had a complex about
    my large, unlovely hands.
[10:19] Kyros
    Your hands are charming.
[10:21] Kyros
    I like holding hands with you very much.
[10:27] Marie
    I like it, too.
[10:32] Kyros
    If it's only my hands that you like,
[10:36] Kyros
    then please, push me away.
[10:40] Marie
    Not at all.
[10:43] Marie
    I'm so happy.
[10:49] Anastasia
    Then trade places with me.
[10:58] Marie
    Sister?
[11:00] Anastasia
    Why are you there? That spot belongs to me.
[11:08] Anastasia
    Trade places with me.
[11:10] Anastasia
    Trade places!
[11:19] Marie; internal
    Yes...
[11:20] Marie; internal
    This is how it should be.
[11:26] Marie; internal
    So then, why...
[11:28] Marie; internal
    Why do I feel...
[11:32] Marie; internal
    so cold?
[11:35] Kyros
    M-Marie?
[11:42] Kyros
    P-Please stop the carriage!
[11:44] Kyros
    No! To a doctor, immediately!
[11:47] Marie; internal
    It's cold. So cold... it hurts.
[11:53] (Flashback) young Marie
    It's cold.
[11:54] (Flashback) young Marie
    It hurts.
[11:56] (Flashback) young Marie
    Sister...
[11:59] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    I'm right here, Marie.
[12:03] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    How's that? Does it feel better?
[12:06] (Flashback) young Marie
    Thank you, Sister.
[12:08] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    It's all right. It's just
    a cold in your ears.
[12:12] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    They said that if you sleep
    a lot, you'll get better.
[12:15] (Flashback) young Marie
    Where are Mama and Papa?
[12:17] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    They both said they're busy with work.
[12:20] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    That's why your big sister's
    going to read you a book!
[12:24] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    It's your favorite, Marie!
    "The Raggedy Red Cat"!
[12:30] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "Some other time in some other place,"
[12:33] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "a raggedy red cat lived in a town."
[12:36] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "Say, little cat, what's your name?"
[12:40] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "None of your business, you idiot!
    Why would I have a name anyway?"
[12:44] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "I'm just a raggedy old cat!"
[12:46] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    "Don't you wanna know why I'm raggedy?"
[12:50] (Flashback) Young Marie
    "I know why. It's because you're red, right?"
[12:56] (Flashback) Young Anastasia
    "You should go on a journey, too."
[12:58] (Flashback) Young Anastasia
    "If a cat lies around like
    trash, it becomes trash."
[13:01] (Flashback) Young Anastasia
    "If trash meows like a cat,
    then it becomes a cat."
[13:04] (Flashback) Young Anastasia
    "And..."
[13:05] (Flashback) young Anastasia; young Marie
    "if that cat goes traveling,
    then it becomes a traveling cat!"
[13:13] (Flashback) Sasha
    Anastasia!
[13:15] (Flashback) Sasha
    I told you not to enter
    Marie's room, didn't I?
[13:18] (Flashback) Sasha
    You don't listen no matter how
    many times you're told, do you?
[13:19] (Flashback) young Marie
    Grandmother Sasha...
[13:21] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    I'm her big sister, so I
    have to make Marie better!
[13:26] (Flashback) Sasha
    This nonsense won't make
    her better, you fool!
[13:28] (Flashback) Sasha
    And your translation is entirely incompetent!
[13:32] (Flashback) Sasha
    Learning it properly is
    for Marie's sake as well.
[13:34] (Flashback) Sasha
    How many times have I told you?
[13:36] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    I-I'm sorry!
[13:39] (Flashback) Sasha
    Marie.
[13:41] (Flashback) Sasha
    Forget what Anastasia has
    read you from this book.
[13:44] (Flashback) Sasha
    You will learn it just as it is written.
[13:46] (Flashback) young Marie
    Is it time for lessons?
[13:49] (Flashback) young Marie
    My body still isn't...
[13:53] (Flashback) Sasha
    You are the smartest of
    everyone in this house.
[13:57] (Flashback) Sasha
    That's why educating you is
    the most efficient choice.
[14:00] (Flashback) young Marie
    But Sister says she likes
    words from Ipsandros, too.
[14:04] (Flashback) Sasha
    That has nothing to do with anything.
[14:06] (Flashback) Sasha
    You will recite this and learn Ipsian
    while you are still four years old.
[14:09] (Flashback) Sasha
    And you will master Flarian
    before you turn six years old.
[14:14] (Flashback) young Marie
    Yes, I will.
[14:16] young Marie; internal
    I love this story from Ipsandros, but...
[14:23] young Marie; internal
    It's cold. It hurts.
[14:26] young Marie; internal
    Sister, where are you?
[14:30] young Marie; internal
    Sister... help me!
[14:35] Marie
    Sister...
[14:41] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[14:44] Kyros
    Are you awake, Marie?
[14:47] Marie
    Why am I...
[14:49] Kyros
    You collapsed with a fever.
[14:50] Kyros
    The doctor said it's likely from exhaustion.
[14:53] Marie
    A fever?
[14:56] Kyros
    Don't push yourself yet. You were
    groaning so much in your sleep.
[15:00] Marie
    I was dreaming.
[15:03] Marie
    But where are we?
[15:05] Kyros
    The napping room in the castle.
    It's the closest one to the gate.
[15:09] Kyros
    Oh, and please don't worry.
[15:11] Kyros
    I left changing your clothes and wiping
    your sweat to the maids and left the room.
[15:14] Kyros
    I swear to you that I also did
    not sneak under the covers.
[15:17] Marie
    I-I wasn't worried about any of that.
[15:21] Marie
    Thanks to everyone's help,
    I think my fever has gone down.
[15:26] Marie
    How long have I been...
[15:28] Kyros
    You've slept for nearly half
    a day. It's almost dawn.
[15:33] Marie
    Don't tell me... Lord Kyros,
    does this mean you haven't slept?
[15:38] Marie
    You looked after me all night?
[15:39] Kyros
    I didn't do anything much.
[15:41] Kyros
    I couldn't have slept for worrying
    anyway. Don't let it trouble you.
[15:45] Marie
    But...
[15:48] Kyros
    Marie, this soup is very nourishing.
[15:51] Kyros
    It isn't bitter at all.
[15:53] Marie
    I could eat it even if it was bitter.
[15:56] Marie; internal
    This brings back memories
    from when I was little.
[15:59] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Your big sister will feed
    you! Now, open wide!
[16:04] Kyros
    Marie?
[16:06] Kyros
    Marie, here.
[16:15] Marie
    I-I'm so sorry! It isn't what you think!
[16:17] Marie
    A long time ago, my sister
    looked after me and...
[16:21] Kyros
    Your sister looked after you?
[16:23] Marie
    Yes, but that was when we were very little.
[16:28] Marie; internal
    Now that he mentions it,
    when did I start eating alone?
[16:34] Marie; internal
    Was it after Grandmother Sasha passed away?
[16:37] Kyros
    Is the soup not enough for you?
[16:40] Kyros
    There's some biscuit cookies here.
[16:42] Marie
    Biscuit cookies?
[16:45] Marie; internal
    Ever since Grandmother died,
[16:48] Marie; internal
    Mother started treating me as
    though I were no more than smoke.
[16:57] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Marie! You must be hungry, right?
[17:00] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    I brought you some biscuit cookies.
[17:02] (Flashback) young Marie
    I can't. Mama said I
    can't eat anything today.
[17:07] (Flashback) young Marie
    It's because I got taller again.
[17:13] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Don't worry about any of that!
[17:16] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Here!
[17:30] (Flashback) young Marie
    It's delicious.
[17:33] Kyros
    Marie, are you all right?
[17:37] Marie; internal
    My beautiful, kind older sister...
[17:42] Marie; internal
    If she had lived, then instead of
    someone like me, Lord Kyros would...
[17:48] Kyros
    I'll go fetch the doctor!
[17:49] Marie
    Wait!
[17:52] Marie
    Please don't go.
[17:53] Marie
    I beg of you, stay here with me.
[17:57] Kyros
    Marie.
[17:59] Kyros
    Don't worry. I'll come right back.
[18:02] Kyros
    Has being sick made you feel forlorn?
[18:05] Marie
    That isn't it.
[18:08] Marie
    I just don't want to be apart
    from you for even a moment.
[18:14] Kyros
    If you're doing this out of gratitude
    for my nursing you, you don't have to.
[18:20] Marie
    How could my selfishness
    serve as thanks towards you?
[18:24] Kyros
    Because...
[18:26] Kyros
    you keep saying things that make me happy.
[18:33] Marie; internal
    When did I start being able to
    look him in the eye like this?
[18:38] Marie; internal
    Even when I never lifted my gaze,
    he was always watching over me.
[18:52] Marie
    I love your eyes.
[18:56] Marie
    Before, when you were kind
    to me, it made me hesitate,
[19:01] Marie
    but now... it only makes me happy.
[19:06] Marie
    I'm going to be filled to the brim
    with this feeling of happiness.
[19:12] Marie
    I... love you.
[19:17] Marie
    You are...
[19:33] Kyros
    Marie...
[19:35] Kyros
    From the first moment I
    met you, I've loved you.
[19:40] Marie; internal
    Once, I would have rejected
    those words, but now...
[19:47] Marie
    Yes.
[19:51] Kyros
    I'm so happy I think I may cry.
[19:58] Kyros
    I am delighted that my love is reciprocated,
[20:01] Kyros
    but also, that you're saying these
    things to me of your own accord...
[20:05] Kyros
    nothing could possibly make me happier.
[20:09] Kyros
    I have to tell the doctor that you're awake.
[20:13] Kyros
    I'll come right back, so please
    stay there in bed and wait for me.
[20:19] Marie
    In bed...
SIGN    In bed...
SIGN    In bed...
SIGN    In bed...
[20:21] Marie
    I-I'll wait right here!
[20:23] Kyros
    I-I didn't mean it like that!
[20:25] Marie
    What? Oh, I'm sorry! I jumped to conclusions!
[20:28] Kyros
    No, I'm the one who's sorry.
[20:30] Kyros
    Well, then!
[20:41] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[20:46] Marie
    What happened?
[20:47] Kyros
    I-It's nothing.
[20:50] Mio
    He was skipping and missed
    a step on the stairs.
[20:53] Mio
    Honestly. What a fool.
[20:56] Marie
    Mio! Welcome home!
[20:59] Mio
    I've just returned. There is a small
    but urgent matter to attend to.
[21:03] Marie
    What is it?
[21:04] Mio
    Master.
[21:06] Mio
    I've brought a guest to the reception hall.
[21:12] Marie
    Is it really all right for me to come, too?
[21:15] Kyros
    Yes.
[21:16] Kyros
    It won't be pleasant, but it's something
    you should hear with your own ears.
[21:21] Kyros
    It concerns a member of your
    family, Anastasia Shaderan.
[21:35] Mio
    I'll take over.
[21:42] Mio
    This is the current lord, Kyros Granado.
[21:45] Mio
    Raise your head, Jacob.
[21:52] Mio
    This man... was the driver of the
    carriage that Lady Anastasia rode in.
[21:58] Marie; internal
    The one where my sister died in an accident?
[22:03] Kyros
    Jacob...
[22:04] Kyros
    I hear that you came here years ago from the
    Bandelee Islands in order to earn money.
[22:16] Kyros
    Was it you?
[22:19] Kyros
    Did you kill Anastasia Shaderan?
[23:58] Johan
    It's been a long time since I became
    the Granado Castle huntsman,
[24:01] Johan
    but I never imagined I'd be charged
    with a duty like this one.
[24:05] Johan
    Next time, "In Pursuit
    of Anastasia's Spirit."
SIGN    Episode 9 "In Pursuit
    of Anastasia's Spirit"
