[00:28] ---
    Here she comes...!
[00:33] ---
    Run!
[00:46] ---
    Damn! This is insane!
[00:57] ---
    You...!
[01:02] ---
    As per the ancient pact and
    the request of the Three Lords,
[01:07] ---
    we will now hold a purity inquiry!
[01:28] ---
    Wait!
[01:29] ---
    There are still three years
    left until the next inquiry!
[01:34] ---
    Why are you doing this now?!
[01:35] ---
    It's okay, Vera. I thought
    these people might do this.
[01:44] ---
    Do as you wish.
[02:03] ---

[03:22] ---
    Then the stuff the Three Clans
    guys said about being her husband...
[03:27] ---
    It's true.
[03:29] ---
    The princess must marry and
    have a child with one of them
[03:34] ---
    to preserve the royal family's bloodline.
[03:37] ---
    Hold on. You didn't think you
    could be with her forever, did you?
[03:43] ---
    Well...
[03:45] ---
    I thought so. It'll never happen.
[03:48] ---
    You and the princess bear different karmas.
[03:52] ---
    Your time together will not last forever.
[03:58] ---
    What is she doing now?
[04:00] ---
    She's fighting too.
[04:03] ---
    It should be underway as we speak.
[04:08] ---
    A purity inquiry?!
[04:09] ---
    That's right.
[04:12] ---
    It's to determine if her
    body is pure and worthy enough
[04:15] ---
    for her to be a royal mother.
[04:17] ---
    You can't be serious!
[04:19] ---
    This is basically a lynching.
[04:22] ---
    It's an inquiry in name only;
    it's really meant to tell the princess,
[04:28] ---
    "You belong to us."
[04:40] ---
    The Stigma spray. I'm putting up the top.
[04:51] ---
    Why does the princess have to put up with this?!
[04:55] ---
    Why do you want to know?
[04:57] ---
    Please, tell me!
[05:00] ---
    A long time ago, there was a
    big civil war in the vampire society.
[05:04] ---
    The Rozenmann, Li, and
    Ivanovic clans arrogantly revolted
[05:08] ---
    against the royal family,
    which ruled over the clans.
[05:12] ---
    In no time flat they drove out
    the other clans and absorbed them.
[05:16] ---
    Eventually, they invaded Tepeş territory.
[05:19] ---
    After the castle was burned
    and she was driven from her land,
[05:22] ---
    Queen Lucrezia, the ruler at the
    time, eventually died at their hands.
[05:28] ---
    But not even they could afford
    to end the line of true-bloods,
[05:32] ---
    so the princess was permitted to live,
    merely as a container of blood.
[05:37] ---
    In exchange for her life, her
    purity would be tested once a decade.
[05:43] ---
    A long time has passed since then.
[05:45] ---
    The development of the
    artificial blood known as Stigma
[05:48] ---
    freed us from our fates
    of having to attack humans
[05:51] ---
    and is changing our relationships with them.
[05:55] ---
    Darkness and lightness that
    were once separate are now mixing
[05:59] ---
    in what is a new dawn--or a new twilight.
[06:01] ---
    Although the confusion has
    produced radical groups like Telomere
[06:05] ---
    comprised of vampires and humans alike,
[06:08] ---
    it also provided the momentum
    for the princess to build this bund.
[06:13] ---
    But she is constrained by
    the Three Clans' old chains,
[06:16] ---
    and at each inquiry they basically say,
[06:20] ---
    "We'll recognize your title as ruler.
[06:23] ---
    But someday your body will fall into our hands."
[06:30] ---
    It's in this way that they
    attempt to control her spirit as well.
[06:36] ---
    Princess...
[06:40] ---
    I let you see something unsightly. Forgive me.
[06:44] ---
    This is what the ruler of
    the vampires is really like.
[06:48] ---
    Funny, isn't it?
[06:49] ---
    This is... This is absolutely horrible!
[06:52] ---
    I have to tell Akira--
[06:53] ---
    No!
[06:56] ---
    I do not want Akira to
    know that I'm... like this...
[07:03] ---
    I'm sure Akira can do something!
[07:05] ---
    Do not be absurd.
[07:07] ---
    He is not the type who
    can solve things on his own.
[07:10] ---
    Yes, he is!
[07:13] ---
    After all... he thinks about
    you more than anyone else!
[07:22] ---
    Princess?
[07:23] ---
    I remember the day I first met Akira.
[07:28] ---
    That day seven years ago?
[07:32] ---
    No, even ten years before that.
    I met him just after he was born.
[07:39] ---
    I had just undergone an inquiry then, too...
[07:42] ---
    He was my salvation
    when I was feeling all alone...
[07:48] ---
    Akira... Akira...
[07:51] ---
    Where are you? Please hurry and save me...
[07:59] ---
    Whoever kills me wins the bet. Right?
[08:03] ---
    No one's going to come
    help you, just so you know.
[08:05] ---
    That's fine with me.
[08:06] ---
    If scheming, hate, and madness are
    the chains holding the princess down,
[08:11] ---
    then I'll break them all!
[08:13] ---
    Careful, kid.
[08:16] ---
    What you're saying sounds just like Telomere.
[08:19] ---
    You saw something during
    your mission one year ago.
[08:25] ---
    There's one last piece that's
    slipped from your memory, isn't there?
[08:32] ---
    How do you know that?
[08:34] ---
    Because you wouldn't be acting this way now
[08:37] ---
    if you had your full memory back.
[08:40] ---
    I might side with the Three Clans
[08:43] ---
    depending on how you react
    once you do get that piece back.
[08:50] ---
    Then can I assume we won't
    be enemies for the time being?
[08:55] ---
    Yeah.
[08:59] ---
    Then pass this message on to the princess:
[09:01] ---
    "I won't die! I will return to
    you alive! So stay strong too!"
[09:10] ---
    I'll tell her.
[09:13] ---
    I'm coming, Princess!
[09:22] ---
    Here I go!
[09:23] ---
    One! Two! Three! Four!
[09:31] ---
    Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!
[09:35] ---
    Are you ready?!
[09:37] ---
    Ready!
[09:46] ---
    I see your form hasn't
    changed from the old days.
[09:50] ---
    Feeling sad for yourself is nice and all,
[09:54] ---
    but don't forget that there is
    someone out there shedding blood for you.
[09:59] ---
    You met Akira?!
[10:02] ---
    He has a message for you.
[10:06] ---
    "I will return to you alive.
    So stay strong too."
[10:12] ---
    He'll return alive? You're sure he said that?!
[10:16] ---
    He intends to defeat each
    of the assassins sent after him.
[10:21] ---
    He's barehanded, completely on his own,
[10:24] ---
    and up against three
    extremely skilled hired killers.
[10:29] ---
    But I'm sure he'll fight anyway.
    Entirely for you, Princess.
[10:35] ---
    So, Akira wants me to stay strong...
[10:40] ---
    He wants me to fight...
[10:45] ---
    Yuki! Bring Vera here!
[10:48] ---
    R-Right!
[10:50] ---
    I needn't give my thanks.
[10:57] ---
    Don't die, kid.
[10:59] ---
    Sir Alphonse.
[11:01] ---
    Laugh. I'm a child's messenger.
[11:07] ---
    Telomere?
[11:09] ---
    It seems they've secretly placed
    some pieces into this game as well.
[11:14] ---
    What did you say?
[11:16] ---
    I said I will also participate
    in your little wager.
[11:21] ---
    I bet that Akira will survive
    the battle and make it here.
[11:26] ---
    I bet my body, my future,
    and my entirety, of course.
[11:33] ---
    This is a surprise!
[11:35] ---
    The odds are stacked
    against you, wouldn't you say?
[11:40] ---
    Isn't that what makes a bet a bet?
[11:44] ---
    Besides, he's fighting all alone.
[11:46] ---
    I need to put just as much on the line too.
[11:50] ---
    You said "entirety" just now.
[11:52] ---
    Does that include your
    true-blood legacy as well?
[11:57] ---
    Ivanovic!
[11:58] ---
    Well? Are you prepared to give that to us too?
[12:02] ---
    The true-blood legacy? What is he talking about?
[12:06] ---
    Answer me!
[12:11] ---
    I said "entirety." Do you doubt me?
[12:15] ---
    All right, then.
[12:17] ---
    The stakes have just been raised.
[12:20] ---
    The wolf pup and the absolutely
    lethal net that we've woven...
[12:25] ---
    Let us see if he can chew his way out of it...
[12:36] ---
    Damn! I can't even get close to her!
[12:41] ---
    Okay, here goes...
[12:49] ---
    Wh-Why?!
[12:56] ---
    What's happened to me?!
    Not at a time like this...!

[13:01] ---
    Listen, Akira Kaburagi.
    I will give you a chance to survive.
[13:07] ---
    One year ago, you went to
    the ruins of the Tepeş royal castle
[13:11] ---
    on a secret mission led by Wolfgang.
[13:15] ---
    They say you discovered a grave
    secret about the legacy of true-bloods.
[13:21] ---
    What did you see?
[13:26] ---
    Akira Kaburagi. What did you see?!
[13:39] ---
    I guess you really are dumb!
[13:44] ---
    Mei Ren...?
[13:45] ---
    But that's what I love about you.
[14:16] ---
    Vampires sure are tough...
[14:20] ---
    Mei Ren! You're...!
[14:29] ---
    That's one down...
[14:45] ---
    Attention all citizens. This is
    the Special Zone Government.
[14:48] ---
    Hostile clan operatives have
    infiltrated the special zone.
[14:52] ---
    They aim to capture and kill Akira
    Kaburagi, a servant of Princess Mina.
[14:56] ---
    They are very likely
    locked in combat as we speak.
[14:59] ---
    All non-combatants,
    please refrain from going outside
[15:01] ---
    and remain on standby until further notice.
[15:07] ---
    So you're just like us after all...
[15:11] ---
    I suppose.
[15:13] ---
    Apparently I'm a survivor of a race
    destroyed during all the infighting.
[15:18] ---
    Tell me, Akira.
[15:20] ---
    Why did you let yourself get beat up
    so badly? Why didn't you transform?
[15:24] ---
    Because... I couldn't...
[15:33] ---
    Damn! I can't do it...!
[15:37] ---
    It must've been a real shock,
    being betrayed by the princess.
[15:42] ---
    Betrayed?!
[15:44] ---
    Surely you were shocked.
    Did you know she was engaged?
[15:51] ---
    The body is honest. We beast-people
    do reshape our bodies out of our will.
[16:00] ---
    It's a sedative. It's a tad strong, though.
[16:04] ---
    I don't feel betrayed at all!
[16:07] ---
    The princess is fighting all alone!
[16:10] ---
    Despite all the humiliation they've given her!
[16:13] ---
    But that's because she's
    the ruler of the vampires.
[16:27] ---
    Come on, Akira. Stop fooling yourself.
[16:31] ---
    You know it's true
[16:34] ---
    that no matter how much
    the butterfly wishes for it,
[16:37] ---
    it can never be one with the flower...
[16:41] ---
    Do you feel my heartbeat?
    It goes "thump, thump."
[16:47] ---
    It's the same heartbeat as yours...
[16:50] ---
    Neither humans nor
    vampires can truly understand us...
[16:57] ---
    I'm the only one who can
    truly understand and love you...
[17:39] ---
    No!
[17:44] ---
    Akira...
[18:08] ---
    You're coming with me!
[18:14] ---
    Akira!
[18:25] ---
    Did that get her?
[18:33] ---
    You're horrible, Akira...
[18:37] ---
    You monster!
[18:39] ---
    I was worried about you this whole time.
[18:44] ---
    How can you call me a monster?
[18:47] ---
    I'd say Princess Mina is the real monster.
[18:51] ---
    Tell me. What did you see?
[18:54] ---
    If you tell me, I'll let you do
    whatever you want with this body!
[19:03] ---
    Stop... Don't defile Yuki any more than that!
[19:08] ---
    Don't be like that. Tell me... Akira!
[19:15] ---
    What's wrong?! You're not going to answer?!
[19:18] ---
    Even after you toyed with
    me and then dumped me?!
[19:27] ---
    Now tell me! What did you see?
[19:34] ---
    I...
[19:59] ---
    Akira...
[20:06] ---
    Princess...?
[20:10] ---
    It's okay.
[20:11] ---
    It's okay now. I will allow it. Speak.
[20:18] ---
    Yes. Speak... and be at peace...
[20:24] ---
    Don't call my name...
[20:27] ---
    ...with that voice...
[20:30] ---
    Wh-What is the matter, Akira?!
    Do you not recognize me?!
[20:35] ---
    Don't call my name...
[20:37] ---
    with that voice...
[20:39] ---
    and...
[20:42] ---
    in that form...!
[21:03] ---
    Akira... Don't die...
[21:14] ---
    Even with most of his memory back,
[21:17] ---
    there was one incident Akira couldn't remember.
[21:22] ---
    Neither Princess Mina nor I had
    any way of knowing what it was.

[21:32] ---
    At the time, all we could
    do was pray for his safety...

[21:37] ---
    Prin... cess...
[21:39] ---
    ...and wait for the
    distant dawn to end the night.

[21:45] ---
    Princess...

[23:38] ---
    What are you three doing?!
[23:40] ---
    Vera!
[23:41] ---
    You need to give more oomph to it! Like this!
[23:43] ---
    Okay!
[23:44] ---
    The Tepeş family is scary...
