**[00:13] ---**
I know this cold voice
**[00:17] ---**
Taking my friend
**[00:22] ---**
Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
**[00:26] ---**
But right now...
**[00:30] ---**
For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
**[00:35] ---**
By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
**[00:39] ---**
When I finally look up at the promised sky
**[00:44] ---**
I'll take off and break all the way
**[00:49] ---**
For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
**[00:53] ---**
By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
**[00:58] ---**
When I finally look up at the promised sky
**[01:02] ---**
I know I can change all the way
**[01:07] ---**
For the moment...
**[01:11] ---**
I just wanna hold you...
**[01:40] ---**
Harry is probably the son of the last King, Machaty.
**[01:46] ---**
If we assume it's true...
**[01:47] ---**
that makes Kajika and His Highness Rumaty cousins.
**[01:53] ---**
Dragging the matter back up again now...
**[01:56] ---**
would benefit neither Burnsworth nor the Kingdom of Raginei.
**[02:02] ---**
Why did Harry introduce the two of them?
**[02:07] ---**
I'm home!
**[02:09] ---**
Welcome back.
**[02:11] ---**
Did you find your father well in the Middle East?
**[02:13] ---**
Yes, thank you.
**[02:15] ---**
I've been told to dedicate myself to my work!
**[02:18] ---**
Toranosuke Haga, back on duty as of now!
**[02:25] ---**
Where's Miss Kajika?
**[02:27] ---**
Out with Noei.
**[02:30] ---**
Just because I took a day off?!
**[02:32] ---**
You're going to fire me and hire Noei?!
**[02:35] ---**
He is merely a substitute.
**[02:39] ---**
His skills are top-notch, but being fresh from the military...
**[02:43] ---**
...poses some problems.
**[02:45] ---**
"Alone"
**[02:55] ---**
--Hey, wanna go in?
--Uh-huh!
**[03:04] ---**
Let's stop for today...
**[03:05] ---**
Y--yeah...
**[03:08] ---**
Isaac!
**[03:10] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[03:12] ---**
You ought to come in with me.
**[03:14] ---**
I stick out.
**[03:16] ---**
I'd only be a bother in a store.
**[03:19] ---**
This is your first time meeting Mustafa, right?
**[03:22] ---**
Mustafa was the name of the leopard you loved, was it not?
**[03:27] ---**
His spirit entered into a human, Eugene De Volkan.
**[03:32] ---**
That's why I call him Mustafa.
**[03:36] ---**
*Puttin' the moves on someone else's woman--*
**[03:39] ---**
*Dammit, I ain't scared!*
**[03:41] ---**
I came home to find her here of her own free will.
**[03:44] ---**
If you're her boyfriend, you ought to keep an eye on her.
**[03:47] ---**
What!? Dammit...
**[03:51] ---**
Damn you and your bitching!
**[03:54] ---**
I'd like to slice up that pretty face!
**[03:56] ---**
St--stop!
**[03:58] ---**
Go ahead, if you want.
**[04:00] ---**
I'm not that fond of this face.
**[04:05] ---**
Come on, then.
**[04:07] ---**
You little--
**[04:08] ---**
I'll teach you to make fun of people!
**[04:24] ---**
Is it over?
**[04:25] ---**
Come on in. It's safe now.
**[04:29] ---**
Kajika!
**[04:31] ---**
Mustafa, you're still getting in hot water!
**[04:34] ---**
This time it's not my fault.
**[04:37] ---**
Who-- who is this kid?
**[04:40] ---**
Me? I'm--
**[04:42] ---**
--my master.
**[04:46] ---**
I'm her...
**[04:48] ---**
pet.
**[04:55] ---**
Absolutely not. He deserves whatever he gets.
**[04:58] ---**
Mustafa was kicked out, he has nowhere to stay!
**[05:01] ---**
Let him stay until he finds something!
**[05:04] ---**
*What idiot would bring the wolf and the lamb together?*
**[05:07] ---**
C'mon, c'mon, please...
**[05:09] ---**
Say yes!
**[05:11] ---**
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, dangit!
**[05:17] ---**
Do you...
**[05:19] ---**
always scowl like that?
**[05:23] ---**
So you were an officer in Raginei's Royal Guard?
**[05:27] ---**
I'm Kajika's bodyguard now.
**[05:30] ---**
You just replaced your master and started over, huh.
**[05:36] ---**
That made you angry, right?
**[05:38] ---**
You looked like you wanted to hit me.
**[05:41] ---**
I have better things to do...
**[05:42] ---**
than hit my employer's masochistic pet.
**[05:47] ---**
Masochistic?
**[05:48] ---**
Mustafa!
**[05:50] ---**
Lee-Leng says you can stay for a while!
**[05:57] ---**
It's been a long time, Eugene.
**[05:59] ---**
It must be two months since we met in Japan.
**[06:03] ---**
I hear I've received permission to stay...
**[06:06] ---**
I'm happy to be of service.
**[06:09] ---**
Thanks so much.
**[06:11] ---**
*As if this is even your house, you old sourpuss trapped in a young man's body.*
**[06:15] ---**
A friend in need...
**[06:19] ---**
*You're nothing but trouble, you drain-on-society piece of dead weight.*
**[06:24] ---**
They've really upped the hate level, haven't they?
**[06:28] ---**
Think so?
**[06:31] ---**
Ah, I'll get it!
**[06:35] ---**
Hello?
**[06:38] ---**
Rumaty!
**[06:48] ---**
Rumaty!
**[06:50] ---**
Kajika!
**[06:52] ---**
You look good.
**[06:54] ---**
Cruel boy!
**[06:55] ---**
Didn't you know I had no way to get in touch with you?
**[07:00] ---**
I've never seen you dressed up like that!
**[07:03] ---**
There was a ceremony in Britain for my father's old teacher.
**[07:06] ---**
My father is ill, so I went instead.
**[07:10] ---**
Your father is ill?
**[07:13] ---**
Don't worry, it's nothing serious.
**[07:15] ---**
Kajika, would you mind letting me stay here for the week?
**[07:19] ---**
Can you stay!? At my house!?
**[07:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:23] ---**
Welcome, Your Highness.
**[07:26] ---**
Lee-Leng Huang...
**[07:28] ---**
it's been a long time.
**[07:34] ---**
This is Eugene De Volkan. He's a friend of Kajika's.
**[07:41] ---**
It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness.
**[07:50] ---**
If that's the kind of aide you keep around, you have good taste.
**[07:53] ---**
He's not my aide; he's my friend.
**[08:02] ---**
Noei...
**[08:04] ---**
Since everything happened...
**[08:05] ---**
he's been acting as my bodyguard.
**[08:08] ---**
Just today he came to Eugene's rescue.
**[08:12] ---**
I'm glad he can be of use to you.
**[08:17] ---**
I hear you'll be with us for a week.
**[08:20] ---**
I have some business which obliges me to return immediately to my country.
**[08:25] ---**
Sezun will be looking after His Highness.
**[08:30] ---**
I see. Well, at any rate, please come in.
**[08:40] ---**
2nd Lt. Noei!
**[08:43] ---**
Sezun!
**[08:45] ---**
While I am gone, you will be First Chamberlain to His Highness.
**[08:49] ---**
Do not leave his side for an instant.
**[08:51] ---**
Y--yes, sir.
**[08:57] ---**
Noei. How does it feel, being kept by Burnsworth?
**[09:02] ---**
It doesn't mean I've sold my heart.
**[09:05] ---**
As long as I draw breath, I will wait for my chance to serve His Highness...
**[09:09] ---**
I have a message from His Highness, the Crown Prince Somand.
**[09:13] ---**
From His Highness Somand?
**[09:16] ---**
"I'm sorry for what I've done to you.
**[09:19] ---**
Someday I will call you home.
**[09:22] ---**
When the time comes, let nothing stand in the way of your return."
**[09:26] ---**
Truly?
**[09:28] ---**
The Prince said that?
**[09:30] ---**
That's great...
**[09:32] ---**
you and your brother are on good terms now...
**[09:35] ---**
It's all thanks to Quinza.
**[09:37] ---**
I see...
**[09:38] ---**
Apart from that, though, if my father's illness is prolonged...
**[09:42] ---**
it may be that my brother will take the throne.
**[09:46] ---**
So what's wrong?
**[09:47] ---**
When that happens...
**[09:49] ---**
I can never see my father's face again.
**[09:51] ---**
It feels a little sad.
**[09:53] ---**
But--why?
**[09:55] ---**
When you give up the throne, you are called the Throne of God...
**[09:58] ---**
and you can no longer see anyone but the priests.
**[10:01] ---**
Huh? That sounds awful...
**[10:04] ---**
That's just how it is. Even my grandfather Machaty did it.
**[10:08] ---**
Are you saying you've never even seen your grandfather's face?
**[10:13] ---**
I have, but I've forgotten it.
**[10:15] ---**
I haven't seen him since I was seven.
**[10:17] ---**
He's still alive, though...
**[10:19] ---**
The old folks tell me I look just like him.
**[10:26] ---**
Excuse me for interrupting your discussion.
**[10:30] ---**
You're going?
**[10:32] ---**
Leaving already?
**[10:33] ---**
Miss Kajika, please take care of His Highness.
**[10:36] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[10:39] ---**
Well, Your Highness, pardon me for going ahead of you.
**[10:47] ---**
Your Highness...
**[10:50] ---**
never doubt your servant Quinza.
**[10:54] ---**
You must not do anything rash.
**[10:56] ---**
Until I come for Your Highness, do not stir from this place.
**[11:02] ---**
Quinza...
**[11:04] ---**
There is nothing for Your Highness to worry about. Leave everything to me.
**[11:09] ---**
The lifelong loyalty of your servant Quinza is yours alone!
**[11:17] ---**
And now, I must say farewell for a little while.
**[11:22] ---**
Quinza...
**[11:33] ---**
I have to stop him!
**[11:35] ---**
Somehow I just know...
**[11:37] ---**
I can't let him leave!
**[11:44] ---**
Wait, Quinza!
**[11:50] ---**
Quinza...
**[12:12] ---**
*What is this uneasiness?*
**[12:23] ---**
Okay...
**[12:25] ---**
It worried me...
**[12:28] ---**
It's only a week, but he spoke as if he'd never see me again.
**[12:33] ---**
Maybe I'm just nervous...
**[12:37] ---**
but it's because I've never been away from Quinza for this long before.
**[12:42] ---**
Really? You and Quinza have been together all this time?
**[12:48] ---**
Since I was three years old...
**[12:51] ---**
we've been together constantly.
**[12:53] ---**
Then you can't help feeling lonely now.
**[12:55] ---**
You really think so?
**[12:57] ---**
Besides, you can tell just by looking...
**[12:59] ---**
You're truly important to Quinza.
**[13:04] ---**
Kajika...
**[13:08] ---**
Do you remember our talk about studying abroad?
**[13:10] ---**
Of course!
**[13:12] ---**
I think the only freedom I'll have in my whole life...
**[13:16] ---**
will be for those four years.
**[13:19] ---**
That's why... whatever happens, I want to spend them with you.
**[13:24] ---**
If I can do that...
**[13:26] ---**
then I'll give the rest of my life to Raginei.
**[13:30] ---**
Rumaty...
**[13:36] ---**
We'll go together.
**[13:39] ---**
I promise.
**[13:48] ---**
Good morning, Your Highness!
**[13:55] ---**
I am shocked!
**[13:57] ---**
You "had a long talk and fell asleep?"
**[14:00] ---**
How old are you, Kajika?!
**[14:02] ---**
Fourteen.
**[14:04] ---**
What does being fourteen mean?
**[14:07] ---**
It means taking responsibility.
**[14:09] ---**
In other words, you're an adult!
**[14:11] ---**
Now, now, Master Lee-Leng...
**[14:17] ---**
E--excuse us...
**[14:19] ---**
Your Highness...
**[14:21] ---**
I hear you're scolding Kajika. Is it true?
**[14:24] ---**
As you see.
**[14:26] ---**
We are friends!
**[14:28] ---**
What's wrong with sleeping together?
**[14:30] ---**
You and Kajika are both adults now.
**[14:33] ---**
You can't get by with that logic at your age.
**[14:37] ---**
Do you mean Kajika won't be able to marry?
**[14:41] ---**
I'm saying it would be better if there wasn't any gossip floating around.
**[14:44] ---**
Then I'll do it the proper way!
**[14:48] ---**
Proper?
**[14:50] ---**
I will make Kajika my princess!
**[14:54] ---**
Princess...
**[14:56] ---**
Y--your Highness! Don't joke about that kind of thing...
**[14:59] ---**
I'm serious!
**[15:01] ---**
Let's go, Kajika!
**[15:06] ---**
Y--your Highness! If you would please wait...
**[15:11] ---**
I'm so sorry...
**[15:13] ---**
On top of not knowing the ways of the world, His Highness can be very single-minded...
**[15:18] ---**
I know.
**[15:22] ---**
Divine Providence is with His Highness, right?
**[15:27] ---**
It was probably like that even in the Royal Palace...
**[15:32] ---**
But he isn't hated.
**[15:36] ---**
Right...
**[15:38] ---**
He makes you want to do something for him, to help him...
**[15:44] ---**
This irrational appeal... it's an essential quality in a leader.
**[15:49] ---**
In a word, charisma.
**[15:54] ---**
His Highness Rumaty possesses innately the foremost qualities required of a leader.
**[16:01] ---**
That's what makes Crown Prince Somand so uncomfortable.
**[16:05] ---**
But that...
**[16:07] ---**
His Highness Rumaty would never...
**[16:14] ---**
Please excuse me...
**[16:21] ---**
He's Quinza's younger brother, right?
**[16:24] ---**
Right. Why do you ask?
**[16:27] ---**
Well, they're completely different, from their faces to their personalities.
**[16:30] ---**
If I had an older brother like that, I'd get a complex...
**[16:35] ---**
He has his own virtues...
**[16:39] ---**
sides of him that are very good indeed...
**[16:42] ---**
I see...
**[16:44] ---**
What's more, don't be fooled by Quinza's appearance.
**[16:49] ---**
He's definitely a sharp one. Too sharp.
**[16:53] ---**
But there's something about him...
**[16:55] ---**
I sense something lacking in him as a person...
**[16:59] ---**
I hope I'm making too much of it, but...
**[17:09] ---**
Lt. Noei!
**[17:13] ---**
Is it true, Their Highnesses Somand and Rumaty have reconciled?
**[17:18] ---**
It's true...
**[17:19] ---**
My brother forced an audience with His Highness Somand...
**[17:23] ---**
and won him over in a single visit.
**[17:27] ---**
In a single visit?
**[17:28] ---**
Yes...
**[17:30] ---**
Since then, His Highness Somand has called my brother to his palace several times.
**[17:34] ---**
Sometimes, His Highness Rumaty goes with him.
**[17:37] ---**
I see... I'm relieved.
**[17:40] ---**
From now on the Kingdom of Raginei will be at peace.
**[17:44] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:48] ---**
To tell the truth...
**[17:51] ---**
I'm scared of my brother.
**[17:59] ---**
When His Highness Somand hated His Highness Rumaty so much...
**[18:03] ---**
to reconcile them in just one day...
**[18:06] ---**
What method could he possibly have used?
**[18:10] ---**
What my brother is thinking...
**[18:13] ---**
to me, it's...
**[18:16] ---**
If that's what you feel...
**[18:18] ---**
stand firm.
**[18:20] ---**
What they need in the Palace right now are good, honest people like you!
**[18:29] ---**
So I ask you...
**[18:31] ---**
protect the Kingdom of Raginei from within!
**[18:35] ---**
I will! Lieutenant!
**[18:42] ---**
You took me by surprise, doing that so suddenly...
**[18:46] ---**
I'm serious. You don't want to?
**[18:50] ---**
Well, I do like you, too.
**[18:53] ---**
Then there's no problem!
**[18:56] ---**
When it comes to marriage...
**[18:57] ---**
I have some... special circumstances...
**[19:00] ---**
Circumstances?
**[19:08] ---**
A husband-hunting game?
**[19:12] ---**
And... how many have you found?
**[19:16] ---**
I think the first one was Mustafa. After that, though...
**[19:20] ---**
Well, then I'm the second!
**[19:24] ---**
I'm sure I'm one of the men your father chose!
**[19:28] ---**
You may say you're sure, but...
**[19:31] ---**
There's no way I'm not one of them!
**[19:35] ---**
I like that side of you...
**[19:40] ---**
I'm sure you remember...
**[19:41] ---**
Followers of Ragi do not remove their cloths in public.
**[19:44] ---**
They are only removed when admitting defeat to an adversary... and...
**[19:52] ---**
when making a proposal to a member of the opposite sex!
**[19:55] ---**
Kajika...
**[19:56] ---**
I've just proposed to you!
**[20:00] ---**
Whoever those three men may be, you will choose me!
**[20:04] ---**
As long as I live, I'll have no other princess!
**[20:15] ---**
Do you... dislike me?
**[20:17] ---**
No, not at all. But...
**[20:20] ---**
But?
**[20:22] ---**
I don't really understand it all yet...
**[20:25] ---**
I know I like you...
**[20:27] ---**
but I don't think it's love...
**[20:30] ---**
You feel the same way, right?
**[20:33] ---**
Y--yeah...
**[20:34] ---**
if you don't feel like that, I guess it's wrong to get married...
**[20:38] ---**
I think that's how it works... usually...
**[20:41] ---**
However, we may feel like that someday...
**[20:45] ---**
If that happens, let's get married.
**[20:47] ---**
Okay, sure!
**[20:49] ---**
Alright! Let's wait until then!
**[20:52] ---**
I'll try to start feeling that way soon!
**[20:57] ---**
*It's the strangest thing...*
**[20:59] ---**
*Me, taking an interest in people...*
**[21:04] ---**
*There are just too many interesting ones around Kajika...*
**[21:12] ---**
*For certain, if Burnsworth is thinking of Kajika...*
**[21:15] ---**
*he should cut all ties with Raginei.*
**[21:21] ---**
Excuse me!
**[21:23] ---**
What's happened?
**[21:26] ---**
This is still top secret, but...
**[21:33] ---**
Too late!
**[21:36] ---**
Dammit, Quinza...
**[21:37] ---**
I'm sure you knew this was going to happen!
**[21:41] ---**
As of now, whether he likes it or not...
**[21:43] ---**
Burnsworth has been dragged into Raginei's coup!
**[21:52] ---**
Lee-Leng, what's wrong?
**[21:56] ---**
What did you need to talk to us about?
**[21:59] ---**
Your Highness, please listen and try to stay calm...
**[22:03] ---**
What?
**[22:04] ---**
Has something happened?
**[22:07] ---**
His Majesty, the King, has--
**[22:09] ---**
your father...
**[22:11] ---**
has passed away.
**[22:13] ---**
But what... so suddenly...
**[22:16] ---**
It can't be...
**[22:18] ---**
That's impossible!
**[22:24] ---**
It can't...
**[22:26] ---**
Contact Quinza! I'm going home immediately!
**[22:30] ---**
You can't go home.
**[22:33] ---**
You have been exiled for treason.
**[22:38] ---**
Your Highness...
**[22:40] ---**
if you insist on returning, you will likely be imprisoned.
**[22:50] ---**
Fool...
**[22:55] ---**
That... that's not true!
**[23:01] ---**
I can't stand feeling this distance,
**[23:09] ---**
So I'm starting to search for your heart.
**[23:16] ---**
Because you were always at my side, protecting me.
**[23:23] ---**
And I'm afraid of being alone.
**[23:30] ---**
Though it's been a long time, everyone's just the same.
**[23:37] ---**
Whether sleeping now, or crying, I want to see your smiling face.
**[23:44] ---**
Because I will love you, with heart overflowing.
**[23:52] ---**
Don't turn away, look at me. I believe in you.
**[23:59] ---**
So, no one else knows our secret thoughts
**[24:07] ---**
The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
**[24:14] ---**
In those arms, in that embrace, I'm alive.
