[00:00] man A
    Long live the Romanoffs!
[00:02] man A
    Long live Emperor Minchester!
[00:05] man B
    Long live Britia!
[00:21] nobleman A
    Who is that beautiful lady with the marquis?
[00:24] noblewoman B
    It's Lady Elise, isn't it?
[00:27] nobleman A
    Oh, is that her?
[00:29] nobleman A
    Today, after the celebratory address,
[00:31] nobleman A
    it seems His Majesty is going
    make that announcement.
[02:25] Elise; internal
    I just want to go home so that I can study.
[02:27] Elise; internal
    The physician's exam is nearly here.
[02:30] Elise; internal
    But attending His Majesty's birthday
    celebration is a noble's duty.
[02:35] Elise; internal
    Now that I think about it,
    I wonder if he's here, too.
[02:42] Elise; internal
    Mikhail.
[02:44] Elise; internal
    In my first life, he was my only friend.
[03:09] Elise; internal
    Still, it's so strange.
[03:12] Elise; internal
    I was never on the same page as the
    person I wanted to feel closest to...
[03:16] Elise; internal
    and the person I needed to stay
    away from most was my best friend.
[03:24] Elise; internal
    Clashes with other countries aren't
    the only conflict in the empire.
[03:29] Elise; internal
    Within the empire, too...
[03:30] Elise; internal
    There's the imperial family's
    faction, led by my father.
[03:36] Elise; internal
    Then, there's the opposing nobles' faction,
    which supports the third prince,
[03:40] Elise; internal
    led by the House of Child.
[03:43] Juliane
    It's been some time, hasn't
    it, Lady Clorence?
[03:47] Elise
    Lady Child.
[03:50] Juliane
    To think that you'd remember
    my name. I'm truly honored.
[03:55] Elise; internal
    That's right!
[03:58] Elise; internal
    Our families are from opposing factions, so
    it's natural that we fought like cats and dogs,
[04:03] Elise; internal
    but the biggest reason we clashed...
[04:06] Elise; internal
    was that she had passionate feelings
    for the crown prince, too.
[04:13] Elise; internal
    Thinking back on it now, there was
    no need for us to fight so much.
[04:16] Juliane
    Why are you just standing there in a daze?
[04:20] Elise
    Oh, um, I was remembering a
    few things from the past.
[04:25] Juliane
    Things from the past?
[04:28] Juliane
    Could it be the time when you
    secretly left a frog at my desk?
[04:32] Juliane
    Or could it be last year's feast, when
    you threw my shoes into the pond?
[04:37] Juliane
    Or...
[04:41] (Flashback) Elise
    Oh, I'm so terribly sorry!
[04:44] (Flashback) Elise
    I thought I saw a bug in front of me.
[04:48] Elise; internal
    The old me was so...
[04:52] Elise
    I have been incredibly disrespectful
    toward you! I'm so very sorry!
[04:57] Elise
    I know that apologizing now won't erase
    the displeasure you felt at the time,
[05:02] Elise
    but still I beg your forgiveness!
[05:04] Juliane
    Where is this coming from?
    Are you making fun of me?
[05:08] Elise
    Not at all. I've just realized how
    selfish my behavior has been.
[05:15] Juliane
    That's enough. Raise your head.
[05:19] Juliane
    You seem different than usual today.
[05:24] Elise
    What?
[05:27] official
    His Highness, the crown prince!
[05:31] nobleman A
    The prince dislikes celebrations,
    and he's already here?
[05:35] noblewoman B
    I wonder what could have happened.
[05:37] nobleman A
    Do you think it's because
    of the announcement?
[05:48] Elise; internal
    Is he looking at me?
[05:51] Elise; internal
    No, of course not.
[05:52] Juliane
    His Highness is...
[05:53] Elise
    What?
[05:56] Juliane
    His Highness is looking at me.
[06:06] Elise
    Lady Child?
[06:07] Elise
    Lady Child!
[06:10] Elise
    You have a terrible fever!
[06:13] Juliane
    I'm sorry.
[06:14] Elise
    Lady Child, shouldn't you go and lie down?
[06:18] Juliane
    Attending the birthday celebrations
    is a noble's duty. Besides...
[06:23] Juliane
    I wouldn't trade my time near the
    prince for anything in the world.
[06:28] Elise; internal
    Because of their political positions,
[06:30] Elise; internal
    there's a chasm between her and the prince
    deeper than that between Romeo and Juliet.
[06:36] Elise; internal
    Even so, she cares deeply
    for His Highness...
[06:40] Elise; internal
    She's earnest and honorable.
[06:42] Elise; internal
    Wouldn't someone who
    possesses those qualities
[06:45] Elise; internal
    be a worthy crown princess,
    and eventually, mother of this empire?
[06:50] Chris
    Elise.
[06:53] Chris
    I've been looking for you.
[06:55] Chris
    It's better not to interact
    with the House of Child.
[06:58] Chris
    Let's go.
[07:00] man A
    Look at that.
[07:02] man B
    Very nice.
[07:04] man C
    Yes.
[07:10] Linden; internal
    What are you staring at?
[07:16] Linden; internal
    All you need do is enjoy the celebrations.
[07:20] Ren
    Your Highness?
[07:23] Ren
    Is there something which displeases you?
[07:26] Linden
    No, it's nothing.
[07:29] Ren
    Has someone done something to irk you?
[07:33] Ren
    I will resolve the matter immediately.
[07:36] Linden; internal
    Is being dense hereditary?
[07:38] Linden; internal
    This is all your younger
    sister's fault, you know.
[07:52] Elise; internal
    If she dances, her fever will...
[07:55] Linden; internal
    She's watching so intently.
    Is she interested in dancing?
[08:01] man B
    Are you here alone?
[08:03] Elise
    I, um...
[08:04] man A
    Beautiful lady, won't you
    share a dance with me?
[08:11] Elise; internal
    Refusing without a particular reason
    would be disrespectful.
[08:16] Elise; internal
    But...
[08:18] man C
    You truly are beautiful.
[08:20] man B
    Yes.
[08:21] man A
    Well, my lady?
[08:32] Linden
    Wait.
[08:40] men
    Your Highness!
[08:43] Linden
    Lady Elise, will you dance with me?
[08:47] Elise
    What?
[08:55] Elise
    Your Highness, why did you
    invite me to dance with you?
[09:01] Linden
    It's just a whim.
[09:02] Elise
    I see.
[09:04] Elise; internal
    Of course. His Highness would never
    actually want to dance with me.
[09:12] Linden
    Was it wrong of me to ask you?
[09:15] Elise
    Not at all. I was at a loss,
    so it was a great help.
[09:20] Linden
    If it was of help to you,
    then that's enough.
[09:24] nobleman A
    His Highness is? But he hasn't danced
    in public at all lately.
[09:30] noblewoman C
    His Highness has always been
    renowned for his dancing,
[09:33] noblewoman C
    but that lady is quite good, too.
[09:35] noblewoman C
    She's young, but she's very impressive.
[09:37] nobleman D
    And they're perfectly in
    step with each other.
[09:40] nobleman D
    The prince's fiancée is supposed to
    be announced today. It must be...
[09:44] noblewoman B
    Yes, it must be Lady Elise.
[09:51] Elise; internal
    In the past, I practiced feverishly in order
    to be able to follow his complicated lead.
[10:00] Elise; internal
    The day I first danced with His Highness,
[10:03] Elise; internal
    not being able to follow his lead was
    so embarrassing and frustrating.
[10:11] Elise; internal
    I practiced so much that
    my feet nearly wore away.
[10:17] Elise; internal
    To think I'd make use of it today...
[10:21] Elise; internal
    But more importantly, how is Lady Child?
[10:27] Elise; internal
    She's so far away, I can't tell!
[10:36] Elise
    Your Highness?
[10:40] Elise; internal
    Could he be leading me toward Lady Child?
[10:56] Elise
    Lady Child?
[10:59] Elise
    You mustn't push yourself so
    hard when you have a fever!
[11:02] Elise
    Wouldn't it be better to return
    home and rest for today?
[11:05] Juliane
    No. Being absent from the birthday
    celebrations would damage my family's honor.
[11:11] Elise
    Lady Child!
[11:13] Linden
    Then, come with me.
[11:19] Juliane
    Y-Your Highness!
[11:23] Elise
    Shall we, Lady Child?
[11:25] Juliane
    Yes.
[11:31] Elise
    Your Highness, what is this place?
[11:35] Linden
    A lounge for the imperial
    family to take respite in.
[11:38] Linden
    Rest here for a while.
[11:41] Juliane
    I-I couldn't possibly impose like this!
[11:44] Linden
    If attending the birthday
    celebrations are a noble's duty,
[11:48] Linden
    then it is the imperial
    family's duty to help them.
[11:51] Linden
    Rest until the emperor's
    celebratory address.
[11:55] Juliane
    Your Highness...
[12:03] Juliane
    As you wish.
[12:09] Elise; internal
    Lady Child, your lovelorn
    heart is entirely too noble.
[12:17] Elise
    Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
[12:20] Elise
    If you would allow it, I would
    like to stay here as well.
[12:25] Linden
    That will be fine.
[12:27] Elise
    Thank you.
[12:29] Elise
    I'd like to stay with Lady
    Child and look after her.
[12:32] Linden
    You're like that with everyone, aren't you?
[12:37] Elise
    What?
[12:39] Linden
    If anyone else from the Romanoff family
    should come here, use my name.
[12:45] Elise
    Yes, Your Highness.
[12:59] Elise
    That's good. She's breathing
    more evenly, too.
[13:05] Harbour
    Ladies, it's nearly time for His
    Majesty's celebratory address.
[13:11] Elise; internal
    I've seen her somewhere before.
[13:15] Elise; internal
    She's from a great noble house in the west
    blood-related to the imperial family.
[13:19] Elise
    Duchess Harbour.
[13:22] Elise
    I am Elise of the House of Clorence.
[13:26] Elise
    Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
[13:29] Harbour
    Oh, so you're a young lady
    from the Clorence family?
[13:33] Harbour
    My, are you looking after your friend?
[13:36] Elise; internal
    Friend?
[13:39] Elise
    Yes!
[13:40] Harbour
    I see.
[13:41] Harbour
    If she's feeling well enough,
    you should hurry to the hall.
[14:02] Harbour
    Lately, my legs have been doing poorly.
[14:06] Harbour
    Farewell.
[14:09] Elise; internal
    The way she's walking...
[14:11] Elise; internal
    It's very possible... that she
    has Parkinson's disease.
[14:15] Elise; internal
    Parkinson's disease is a
    degeneration of the nerve cells.
[14:19] Elise; internal
    The condition causes a decrease in
    motor function throughout the body.
[14:23] Elise; internal
    As I recall,
[14:25] Elise; internal
    because of this disease, the duchess...
[14:28] Elise; internal
    loses her life when food becomes
    lodged in her respiratory tract.
[14:38] Juliane
    Lady Clorence?
[14:50] Elise
    It's wonderful that we'll make it back in
    time for the emperor's address, isn't it?
[14:54] Elise
    It must be because you
    have good daily habits.
[14:57] Juliane
    And you, Lady Clorence.
[15:00] Juliane
    Thank you... for today.
[15:03] Elise
    Not at all.
[15:04] Elise
    All I did was do what I could, Lady Child.
[15:09] Juliane
    Please, call me Juliane.
[15:12] Elise
    What?
[15:13] Elise
    Then, please call me Elise!
[15:20] Juliane
    Sometime soon, please allow
    me to accompany you for tea.
[15:29] Elise
    Yes, I'd love that, Juliane!
[16:00] Minchester
    Spending today of all days together
    with you brings me great joy.
[16:07] Minchester
    I believe that it will allow me to
    discover new hope for the future.
[16:15] Minchester
    And I pray for this country's peace
    and the happiness of its people.
[16:24] Minchester
    Now, there is something I would
    like to tell all of you.
[16:30] Minchester
    It concerns the fiancée of the
    crown prince, Linden de Romanoff.
[16:36] Minchester
    But there is one thing we did not take
    into account for this announcement.
[16:42] Minchester
    That the lady which I have decided
    upon for his fiancée is not yet of age.
[16:51] Elise; internal
    Announcement?
[16:52] Elise; internal
    But that can't be!
[16:55] Minchester
    Of course, becoming affianced before one
    comes of age poses no breach of etiquette.
[17:00] Minchester
    However, I have made a personal
    promise to the lady in question,
[17:04] Minchester
    so the announcement will be delayed
    until after she has come of age.
[17:10] Minchester
    And so, the official announcement
    of their engagement...
[17:15] Minchester
    will wait until after Lady
    Clorence has come of age.
[17:22] nobleman A
    So it is Lady Elise!
[17:24] noblewoman B
    They're a perfect match!
[17:26] Elise; internal
    What's going on?
[17:29] Elise; internal
    Why would he say my name?
[17:32] Elise; internal
    This is exactly the same as if I'd been
    announced as the prince's fiancée!
[17:41] Minchester
    Now, let us continue the festivities.
    Please, enjoy yourselves.
[18:03] Mikhail
    Whoa, there.
[18:05] Juliane
    Prince Mikhail.
[18:10] Mikhail
    It's a secret that I'm here.
[18:13] Juliane
    Y-Yes, Your Highness.
[18:23] Mikhail
    So that's the girl who will become
    my big brother's fiancée, is it?
[18:34] (Flashback) Linden
    Atone for your crimes in hell.
[18:49] Minchster
    Please call Elise in to see me.
[18:52] Vent
    Yes, sire.
[18:53] Minchester
    The ordeal that you proposed for her
    must surely have her bewildered.
[18:59] Minchester
    And I'm sure she must have questions for me.
[19:02] Vent
    As you command, sire.
[19:09] Minchester
    Lady, is the tea not to your liking?
[19:15] Elise
    Your Majesty, if I might have your permission,
    there is something I would like to ask you.
[19:23] Minchester
    Go ahead and speak.
[19:26] Elise
    What happened to the wager we made?
[19:30] (Flashback) Minchester
    In that case,
[19:31] (Flashback) Minchester
    let's make a wager.
[19:34] (Flashback) Elise
    Make a wager?
[19:37] (Flashback) Minchester
    Pass the exams and become a doctor.
[19:40] (Flashback) Minchester
    Prove that your work as a doctor is more
    valuable than your existence as an empress.
[19:47] (Flashback) Minchester
    If you can prove that, then you
    may take whatever path you wish.
[19:51] (Flashback) Minchester
    But if you are unable to prove that,
[19:56] (Flashback) Minchester
    then you will turn all your thoughts and
    energy toward becoming our future empress.
[20:03] Elise; internal
    The wager was meant to last until I came of age.
[20:07] Elise; internal
    I should have still had time.
[20:09] Elise; internal
    Does His Majesty intend
    to nullify the wager?
[20:16] Minchester
    The wager is, of course, still in effect.
[20:20] Elise
    What?
[20:21] Minchester
    I would not break a promise
    that I have made.
[20:25] Minchester
    And I haven't made a formal announcement,
[20:28] Minchester
    so should you happen to win the wager, it is
    entirely possible to withdraw what was said.
[20:34] Elise
    But will it really be all right?
[20:37] Elise
    If Your Majesty retracts his words so easily,
    won't it cause injury to your magnificence?
[20:43] Vent
    His Majesty's dignity would not be
    harmed by a trifle such as this.
[20:47] Elise
    Yes, you're correct.
[20:51] Vent
    Lady Elise, it seems you're worried
    about what might happen when you win.
[20:55] Vent
    Do you have a specific plan in mind?
[20:58] Elise
    What?
[20:59] Vent
    Your work as a doctor has more value
    than your existence as empress...
[21:04] Vent
    What achievements do you intend to
    accomplish to prove such a thing?
[21:09] Elise; internal
    Achievements?
[21:11] Elise; internal
    That means that I won't be acknowledged
    for just any little thing.
[21:16] Minchester
    I've come to think of you as
    though you were my own daughter.
[21:21] Minchester
    I find your determination
    endearing, but at the same time,
[21:27] Minchester
    I want you to support Linden and
    become my daughter in truth.
[21:33] Minchester
    These feelings are part of why
    I made that announcement.
[21:38] Elise
    Your Majesty...
[21:39] Elise; internal
    Why does he feel so much for me?
[21:42] Elise; internal
    Is it because I'm his
    dear friend's daughter?
[21:45] Elise; internal
    Or could it be because of
    the way I acted that day?
[21:51] Minchester
    What do you think?
[21:54] Minchester
    I'd like to put an end to our
    wager here. What about you?
