**[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?
