8. A Knight's Vow
**[01:57] Fena**
The bleeding won't stop.
**[01:59] Karin**
Yukimaru... isn't gonna die, is he?
**[02:02] Kaede**
Don't even *think* stuff like that!
No way is Yukimaru gonna die!
**[02:06] Kaede & Tsubaki**
- Right, Tsubaki?
- Y-Yeah...
**[02:20] Fena**
We have to get the bullet out
and stop the bleeding!
**[02:23] Kaede & Tsubaki**
- What's the nearest port?
- Saint-Malo.
**[02:26] Karin**
That would put us on the sea lane
that navies use, though.
**[02:30] Tsubaki**
It's a little far, but Chaouen
would let us travel on the surface.
**[02:33] Tsubaki**
We know a doctor there, too.
**[02:36] Tsubaki & Kaede**
- Kaede!
- Yessir!
**[02:37] Tsubaki & Kaede**
- Tell Makaba and Enju to set course for Chaouen!
- Aye aye!
**[02:49] Fena**
Yukimaru...
**[03:19] Villager B**
Kei's team didn't
get there in time?
**[03:22] Villager A**
I heard they were wiped out.
**[03:24] Villager C**
Every last person
aboard the *Hope...*
**[03:27] Villager B**
They say that Yukimaru
was the only survivor.
**[03:30] Villager C**
Even Lord Franz...
**[03:39] Doctor**
There's nothing you can do for him
by standing there. Go home and rest.
**[04:31] Tsubaki**
How is Yukimaru?
**[04:33] Old Doctor**
How did you prevent the wound
from festering?
**[04:35] Tsubaki**
Oh, um...
**[04:36] Karin**
We used tobacco leaves.
**[04:38] Old Doctor**
Oh, that explains it.
**[04:41] Old Doctor**
If festering had set in,
he might have died.
**[04:43] Old Doctor**
That was the proper treatment.
**[04:46] Old Doctor**
You don't need to worry.
**[04:48] Old Doctor**
All he needs now
is time to recuperate.
**[04:52] Tsubaki & Doc**
- So Yukimaru is--
- Yes, he'll be fine.
**[04:55] Karin**
What a relief!
**[04:58] Kaede & Enju**
- Awesome!
- That's our Yukimaru!
**[05:01] Kaede**
*You* said that Yukimaru
was gonna die!
**[05:04] Karin & Makaba**
- Come on, you two.
- It was Fena.
**[05:04] Enju**
Say what?! *You* were saying that!
**[05:08] Makaba**
Fena was the one
who saved Yukimaru's life.
**[05:13] Karin**
Fena kept Yukimaru safe, didn't she?
**[05:16] Tsubaki**
I guess she did at that.
**[05:21] Kaede & Enju**
- What a relief! I was so worried!
- What a relief! I was so worried!
**[05:25] Shitan**
Don't be so quick
to sing her praises.
**[05:29] Shitan**
You have this backwards.
**[05:31] Shitan**
It was Fena
**[05:33] Shitan**
who forced him into that situation
in the first place.
**[05:35] Enju**
What do you mean, *forced* him?!
**[05:37] Kaede**
Come on, what happened to him
wasn't Fena's fault!
**[05:39] Karin & Shitan**
- They're right, if those pirates hadn't--
- Isn't the fact that you're thinking that way
**[05:43] Shitan**
proof that you've all
fallen under her spell?
**[05:47] Shitan**
The spell of that witch, Fena.
**[05:59] Fena**
What do you mean by that?
**[06:01] Fena**
"That witch"?
**[06:05] Shitan**
It's nothing.
**[06:06] Makaba**
Shitan.
**[06:09] Makaba**
Tell us everything.
**[06:10] Makaba**
This isn't something that
you should shoulder alone.
**[06:20] Priest**
With Franz now dead,
**[06:22] Priest**
the only clues left to us
are Fena Houtman's memories.
**[06:28] Priest**
However, she comes from
a line of witches.
**[06:31] Shitan**
Witches?
**[06:33] Priest**
She corrupts men, leads them astray,
and brings them low.
**[06:37] Priest**
It was true of her mother.
**[06:39] Priest**
I know a man who was
driven mad by her charms.
**[06:42] Shitan**
What would you have me do?
**[06:45] Priest**
Watch Yukimaru closely.
**[06:47] Priest**
If Yukimaru should ever appear
to have fallen under her sway,
**[06:52] Priest**
...strike.
**[06:57] Shitan**
Even under your orders, Priest,
**[07:01] Shitan**
I could never kill Yukimaru.
**[07:04] Priest**
Yes, I know.
**[07:06] Priest**
The one I am telling you strike down
**[07:08] Priest**
is not Yukimaru.
**[07:11] Priest**
But rather the witch.
**[07:15] Fena**
That's...
**[07:17] Fena**
...what you think of me?
**[07:22] Fena**
Shitan!
**[07:24] Fena & Shitan**
- Shitan, I'm not--
- It's the truth.
**[07:26] Shitan**
The others chose you
over the island.
**[07:29] Tsubaki**
Look, Shitan!
**[07:30] Tsubaki & Shitan**
- We all made our own choice--
- As a result,
**[07:32] Shitan**
now we're all hunted men.
**[07:36] Shitan**
We spent years building up
their trust in us!
**[07:40] Shitan**
At the risk of our lives!
**[07:42] Shitan & Tsubaki**
- And in the span of a few short weeks, you--
- Shitan!
**[07:48] Tsubaki**
Shitan, what's gotten into you?
**[07:50] Tsubaki**
Everything we've done was of our own
free will. Not because of Fena!
**[07:54] Tsubaki**
Stop taking things out on her!
**[07:56] Shitan**
Taking things out... on her?
**[07:59] Tsubaki**
Yeah! All you're doing
is lashing out at Fena!
**[08:04] Tsubaki**
Look, Shitan.
Think things through, and you'll see--
**[08:11] Shitan**
Ten years ago,
and now once again.
**[08:14] Shitan**
He's hurt...
**[08:17] Shitan**
...because of you.
**[08:46] Enju & Kaede**
- Oh, wow!
- *Ippon!*
**[08:48] Enju & Kaede**
- You won again, Yukimaru!
- You're awesome!
**[08:53] Kei & Yukimaru**
- Yukimaru.
- Yes?
**[08:55] Kei**
That strike was well executed.
**[08:58] Yukimaru**
Thank you.
**[09:00] Kei**
But not all swordsmen you will face on
the battlefield will be as weak as this one.
**[09:04] Kei & Yukimaru**
- Take that lesson to heart.
- I will.
**[09:07] Kei**
You may go rest.
**[09:19] Kei**
How pathetic.
**[09:37] Makaba**
No, not those.
**[09:40] Makaba**
Those are rejects.
**[09:42] Makaba**
They're so stiff that it's impossible
to tell where the arrow will go.
**[09:48] Shitan**
Oh. Rejects, huh?
**[09:52] Shitan**
Just like me, then.
**[09:55] Shitan**
Makaba. Would you mind
if I tried one out?
**[10:14] Yukimaru**
So, how is that bow
of Makaba's?
**[10:18] Shitan**
Tricky. The arrows go wide.
**[10:22] Shitan**
They never go where I'm aiming at.
It doesn't listen to me.
**[10:26] Yukimaru**
Then why don't you listen to *it?*
**[10:30] Yukimaru**
Aim your shot
**[10:32] Yukimaru**
where the arrow
wants to go.
**[10:35] Yukimaru**
Listen to *it.*
**[10:43] Shitan**
Aim where the arrow
wants to go...
**[10:47] Shitan**
*Don't let the target lead you astray...*
**[10:57] Shitan**
I hit it!
**[11:00] Yukimaru**
You're good at that, Shitan.
**[11:03] Shitan**
I haven't mastered it, but I will.
**[11:24] Shitan**
Brule?
**[11:26] Fena**
Brule! Good job!
**[11:36] Fena**
I finally found you!
**[11:39] Shitan**
Fena?
**[11:44] Fena & Shitan**
- Shitan, I--
- Go away.
**[11:48] Fena & Shitan**
- The others filled me in on--
- Didn't you hear me?
**[11:53] Shitan**
Go away.
**[11:56] Shitan**
If they told you,
then it should be clear to you.
**[11:58] Shitan & Fena**
- My orders are to kill you.
- Shitan.
**[12:01] Fena**
You would never do that.
**[12:04] Fena**
You taught me how to use a bow.
**[12:08] Fena**
I'm twice as bad at learning stuff
as anyone else,
**[12:11] Fena**
but you tried your hardest
to teach me.
**[12:14] Fena**
And besides!
**[12:15] Fena**
I still can't hit
the broad side of a barn!
**[12:18] Shitan**
Huh?
**[12:19] Fena**
You heard me! I still can't
shoot worth a darn!
**[12:22] Fena**
If you don't keep teaching me,
I don't think I'll ever hit anything!
**[12:25] Shitan**
Now wait just a minute...
**[12:26] Fena**
Is that what you want? If your student is that bad,
it's *you* who should feel ashamed!
**[12:30] Shitan & Fena**
- What are you babbling around?
- What I'm saying...
**[12:33] Fena**
...is that I want to
spend my life traveling!
**[12:36] Fena**
With Yukimaru and you!
**[12:38] Fena**
And Karin and the twins!
**[12:40] Fena**
And Tsubaki and Makaba.
With all of you.
**[12:43] Fena**
Forever. And ever.
**[12:47] Shitan**
Fena...
**[12:48] Fena**
And besides!
**[12:49] Fena**
If I *were* a witch, I'd use my magic
to use this bow like a pro!
**[12:54] Shitan**
Huh?
**[12:55] Fena**
I don't fly on a broomstick!
I don't have a black cat!
**[12:58] Fena**
I just have a big, white dog!
**[13:00] Fena**
I keep getting smacked on the head!
I've even been tossed into the ocean!
**[13:04] Fena**
I dumb! I'm not a morning person!
I'm not in shape!
**[13:06] Fena**
I can't use a single weapon!
**[13:08] Fena**
I don't have a crystal ball!
I can't predict the future!
**[13:10] Fena**
You could search the world from top to bottom
and not find a single witch like...
**[13:14] Fena**
...me?
**[13:17] Fena**
Shitan?
**[13:20] Fena**
Shitan? What are you doing?
**[13:29] Fena**
Um, Shitan?
**[13:37] Shitan**
I think I understand how you felt when
you whacked her all those times, Yukimaru...
**[13:45] Shitan**
Get a move on.
**[13:49] Fena & Shitan**
- Shitan?
- Let's head back.
**[13:52] Shitan**
We'll set out again
as soon as Yukimaru wakes up.
**[13:57] Shitan**
Let's go together.
**[14:00] ---**
**[14:30] Yukimaru**
I don't... have any feeling
in my legs.
**[14:35] Yukimaru**
Fena!
**[14:57] Yukimaru**
Fena.
**[14:59] Yukimaru**
Fena.
**[15:03] Yukimaru**
Fena.
**[15:04] Yukimaru**
Fena!
**[15:15] Fena**
Ow!
**[15:24] Fena**
That was mean,
why'd you do that?!
**[15:27] Yukimaru**
I thought I had lost my legs.
I was scared for a second.
**[15:30] Fena**
Sorry.
**[15:33] Yukimaru**
Has Shitan...
**[15:35] Yukimaru**
...come around yet?
**[15:40] Fena**
I can't say for sure,
**[15:42] Fena**
but he said we'd
all go together.
**[15:44] Yukimaru**
Where has he been
since yesterday?
**[15:47] Fena**
The others have gone back
to the ship,
**[15:49] Fena**
but Shitan and the doctor went out
to the entertainment district.
**[15:52] Fena & Yukimaru**
- He said he knew a bar with pretty--
- He's fine, then.
**[15:56] Fena**
He is?
**[15:57] Yukimaru**
You don't need to worry.
**[16:02] Yukimaru**
More importantly...
**[16:05] Yukimaru**
why were you aboard
that navy ship?
**[16:07] Fena**
Oh. It's a... long story.
**[16:11] Fena**
Will you tell me about it?
If you can.
**[16:46] Yukimaru**
I see.
**[16:49] Fena**
So much has happened that it feels
like my head is about to burst.
**[16:55] Fena**
Look, I'm sorry.
**[16:58] Yukimaru**
Why are you apologizing?
**[17:00] Fena**
Yesterday, I was acting all upbeat
when I talked to Shitan.
**[17:04] Fena**
But the truth is, I'm not.
**[17:08] Fena**
I started out as Fena Houtman.
**[17:12] Fena**
And then I became
Fena of Shangri-La,
**[17:15] Fena**
and after that, I was called
the White Marginal.
**[17:18] Fena**
And now people call me "Princess"
or a witch.
**[17:23] Fena**
Who the heck am I?
**[17:29] Yukimaru**
It's possible that you'll only
find that answer at that place.
**[17:35] Yukimaru**
At the place I promised Franz
I would take you.
**[17:39] Yukimaru**
Eden.
**[17:44] Fena**
I want to go there.
But at the same time, I don't.
**[17:51] Fena**
A thought hit me.
**[17:53] Fena**
Maybe I could keep on traveling
with you guys.
**[17:58] Fena**
Going around to various islands
and visiting parts unknown.
**[18:03] Fena**
And having fun every day.
**[18:08] Fena**
If I did that, I could stay
who I am right now.
**[18:12] Fena**
Then nothing would have to change.
**[18:17] Yukimaru**
Are you afraid
of moving forward now?
**[18:22] Fena**
I guess I might be.
**[18:25] Fena**
I'm sorry.
I'm really not helping things.
**[18:28] Yukimaru**
Either way, it's all right.
**[18:31] Yukimaru**
Wherever you want to go,
I'll go with you.
**[18:34] Yukimaru**
Wherever you stop,
I'll stop too.
**[18:37] Yukimaru**
Like the raicho birds
on the island.
**[18:42] Yukimaru**
When I was little,
**[18:44] Yukimaru**
my father told me something
that a great man once said.
**[18:48] Yukimaru**
"In this fleeting life, there are two
moments of joy above all others.
**[18:52] Yukimaru**
When we are born into this world
and take our first breath.
**[18:56] Yukimaru**
And...
**[18:58] Yukimaru**
...when we learn what we
were put on this earth to do."
**[19:04] Yukimaru**
I don't know what they will be,
**[19:07] Yukimaru**
but I do think that the answers you seek
can be found only there.
**[19:11] Yukimaru**
The answer to who you are.
And...
**[19:17] Yukimaru**
...the answer to why
you and I met.
**[19:21] Yukimaru**
I'll keep protecting you.
I'll protect you with all that I have.
**[19:25] Fena**
Yukimaru...
**[19:28] Yukimaru**
To make sure the others won't
be put in danger again,
**[19:31] Yukimaru**
I'll strive to become
even stronger.
**[19:35] Yukimaru**
Fena.
**[19:38] Yukimaru**
Let's go together.
**[19:41] Fena**
Yukimaru!
**[19:43] Fena**
Are you okay?
Does something hurt?
**[19:56] Fena**
Y-Yukimaru? What's the matter?
**[19:59] Yukimaru & Fena**
- Fena.
- Y-Yes?
**[20:02] Yukimaru**
No matter what happens,
I swear I will always keep you safe.
**[20:10] Yukimaru**
My hand...
**[20:13] Yukimaru**
...will never again...
**[20:16] Yukimaru**
...let go of yours.
**[20:47] Yukimaru**
It's gotten chilly.
Let's go back inside.
**[21:49] Abel**
Helena. We will meet again soon.
**[21:54] Abel**
It won't be long.
**[21:55] ---**
