[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...
[01:31] ---
    His Majesty, the King, has--
[01:34] ---
    your father...
[01:36] ---
    has passed away.
[01:38] ---
    But what... so suddenly...
[01:41] ---
    Contact Quinza! I'm going home immediately!
[01:45] ---
    You can't go home.
[01:49] ---
    You have been exiled for treason.
[01:53] ---
    Your Highness...
[01:55] ---
    if you insist on returning, you will likely be imprisoned.
[01:58] ---
    Fool...
[02:02] ---
    That... that's not true!
[02:06] ---
    "Country of the Sun"
[02:12] ---
    The Raginei Royal Palace has announced the capture of several officers...
[02:15] ---
    accused, along with second-in-line Prince Rumaty, of planning a coup d'etat...
[02:20] ---
    and the assassination of the Crown Prince.
[02:23] ---
    Their executions have reportedly already taken place.
[02:26] ---
    Attention has focused, meanwhile, on Prince Rumaty...
[02:29] ---
    who is believed to be in the US, but whose whereabouts are unknown.
[02:35] ---
    There has been no statement from him at this time.
[02:37] ---
    If he saw this, Prince Rumaty would be pretty upset...
[02:41] ---
    not only that, we left without saying anything...
[02:44] ---
    Lee-Leng will be able to explain it to him.
[02:47] ---
    That's why he stayed behind for me.
[02:49] ---
    Looks like the American government will recognize his refugee status.
[02:53] ---
    Yeah, I think Dad was able to use his influence.
[02:56] ---
    But then, His Highness would probably say he isn't a refugee at all...
[03:01] ---
    At any rate, as soon as we land, we'll go see Crown Prince Somand...
[03:05] ---
    or, if that's impossible, Quinza.
[03:07] ---
    I want to find out the truth.
[03:09] ---
    Right. But...
[03:11] ---
    this really sucks.
[03:13] ---
    A big brother setting up his little brother like this...
[03:18] ---
    Wait there, Rumaty.
[03:21] ---
    I will make sure you can come back to your country.
[03:28] ---
    Raginei...
[03:30] ---
    Country of the sun.
[03:36] ---
    Why? Why didn't someone tell me?
[03:40] ---
    If we'd told you Kajika was going to Raginei...
[03:43] ---
    you would have said you were going, too, wouldn't you?
[03:46] ---
    Of course! How many times have I said I want to go home?
[03:50] ---
    There's your answer. Please calm down.
[03:54] ---
    Bring some tea.
[03:55] ---
    Certainly, sir.
[04:00] ---
    Burnsworth's influence extends to the media...
[04:05] ---
    Which means even if they get wind of it...
[04:07] ---
    they won't announce Your Highness' location.
[04:11] ---
    And I'm sure Quinza will never reveal it.
[04:14] ---
    In other words, as long as you stay here, Your Highness, you'll be safe.
[04:18] ---
    So what?
[04:20] ---
    You want me to hide until they say I've abandoned my country?
[04:25] ---
    If you go back now...
[04:26] ---
    even more blood will be shed.
[04:29] ---
    Don't you understand that?
[04:33] ---
    It's a matter of waiting for the situation to calm down.
[04:36] ---
    There's plenty of time to plan a way out of this.
[04:40] ---
    That's why Kajika's going to Raginei, to search for clues.
[04:45] ---
    Aren't you concerned about letting Kajika go?
[04:48] ---
    She's going as a representative of Harry, the Chairman.
[04:52] ---
    But in that case, it's even more dangerous!
[04:55] ---
    She's the only daughter of the Burnsworth family.
[04:57] ---
    Is it really worth using her?
[05:00] ---
    Prince...
[05:01] ---
    you can't think of Burnsworth as an ordinary multinational.
[05:08] ---
    You know the current aide to the President?
[05:12] ---
    He's a friend of Harry's from college.
[05:15] ---
    It was Harry's support that got him into the White House.
[05:20] ---
    In other words...
[05:22] ---
    if Harry's angry, America's angry.
[05:26] ---
    There's no way Raginei can lay a hand on Kajika.
[05:33] ---
    Here you are.
[05:34] ---
    Your impatience won't do any good.
[05:37] ---
    This isn't a vacation, though...
[05:40] ---
    it's good study time.
[05:44] ---
    Enough.
[05:48] ---
    Ah, sorry...
[05:50] ---
    How long is he going to act like that?
[05:54] ---
    This is a perfect opportunity for him to learn patience.
[05:58] ---
    But now, what about Quinza?
[06:01] ---
    The private plane is still in England...
[06:04] ---
    but it seems that was a diversion...
[06:07] ---
    while he himself returned to Raginei.
[06:10] ---
    Because he knew this would happen...?
[06:13] ---
    And Raginei?
[06:15] ---
    The Royal Palace has instituted a communications blackout.
[06:19] ---
    Even ascertaining Miss Kajika's arrival through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been difficult...
[06:24] ---
    I'm sorry to say.
[06:26] ---
    I see.
[06:27] ---
    However, the internal report on Raginei is ready.
[06:31] ---
    Would you care to see it?
[06:33] ---
    I'll take a look.
[06:39] ---
    The father of Raginei's modernization...
[06:41] ---
    the 73rd King, Machaty Sheik.
[06:44] ---
    This is his wedding picture.
[06:47] ---
    I see... Rumaty's spitting image.
[06:51] ---
    It is the duty of the King of Raginei to take two wives.
[06:56] ---
    With his first wife, Arena, Machaty had two sons.
[07:00] ---
    With his second wife, Sereira, he had one daughter.
[07:05] ---
    The son he had with Arena...
[07:07] ---
    was the 74th King, Woold.
[07:10] ---
    On his death, his eldest son Somand...
[07:12] ---
    becomes the 75th King.
[07:15] ---
    However, if anything should happen to Somand...
[07:19] ---
    Rumaty is second in line.
[07:21] ---
    Isn't that so.
[07:23] ---
    Right.
[07:25] ---
    So Somand, born with a weak constitution, in accordance with ancient tradition...
[07:29] ---
    has never set foot outside the palace.
[07:34] ---
    On the other hand, second son Rumaty, Machaty's spitting image...
[07:38] ---
    with the blue eyes of the founder, King Samaness...
[07:41] ---
    with his cheerfulness and generosity...
[07:43] ---
    has all the love of the people.
[07:54] ---
    Like light and shadow...
[07:57] ---
    And then, to make matters more complicated...
[08:01] ---
    Raginei has a peculiar system of succession.
[08:04] ---
    If the King's reign lasts longer than 5 years...
[08:06] ---
    his siblings and cousins lose all right to the throne...
[08:09] ---
    and it passes on to the next generation.
[08:12] ---
    In other words, after Somand is crowned...
[08:15] ---
    once 5 years pass, second-in-line Rumaty, third-in-line Izmal and fourth-in-line Najayra...
[08:20] ---
    will all lose their rights of succession.
[08:22] ---
    Right.
[08:23] ---
    A contest of succession with a time limit...
[08:27] ---
    and the starter pistol has already gone off...
[08:31] ---
    What shall we do?
[08:33] ---
    Somehow Quinza is caught in all this, after all.
[08:36] ---
    He knew about this plot...
[08:38] ---
    so why didn't he stop it?
[08:41] ---
    No matter how I look at it, it's suspicious.
[08:43] ---
    Tell Toranosuke...
[08:44] ---
    give it three days, then make sure to bring Kajika back.
[08:48] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:56] ---
    I wonder... exactly how many people know...
[09:01] ---
    Harry is Machaty's first-born child.
[09:05] ---
    His right of succession ended 5 years after Woold took the throne...
[09:08] ---
    but, as his child, Kajika's right remains...
[09:12] ---
    and what's more...
[09:14] ---
    his first-born daughter...
[09:16] ---
    would be first in line for the throne.
[09:19] ---
    The crown isn't Somand's...
[09:22] ---
    it's hers.
[09:27] ---
    Just as I thought... I should never have let her go.
[09:33] ---
    Master Quinza.
[09:34] ---
    Master Quinza.
[09:36] ---
    Master Quinza...
[09:39] ---
    Hmph. What a revolting sight.
[09:42] ---
    The Crown Prince ignores you, Master Kanan, his Grand Chamberlain, and asks for Quinza...
[09:48] ---
    Because we kept Prince Rumaty away from Prince Somand...
[09:52] ---
    we led them into conflict.
[09:55] ---
    But the timid Prince became so afraid of Master Rumaty...
[09:59] ---
    that he keeps even other people at a distance.
[10:03] ---
    Lately it's so bad that, outside of Quinza...
[10:05] ---
    he says he won't see anyone at all.
[10:08] ---
    Well, so be it. It doesn't matter what he does.
[10:11] ---
    The problem is with Master Rumaty.
[10:13] ---
    But... with him exiled for the charge of assassination...
[10:18] ---
    who on earth could form such a scheme...
[10:21] ---
    I don't know. But...
[10:23] ---
    it's Master Rumaty's temperament.
[10:25] ---
    We can't be sure he doesn't know about our own schemes...
[10:29] ---
    But then -- certainly...
[10:30] ---
    We have to nip this catastrophe in the bud.
[10:36] ---
    Your Highness, he's here.
[10:38] ---
    It's Master Quinza.
[10:41] ---
    Is it really Quinza?
[10:43] ---
    Your voice... let me hear your voice!
[10:46] ---
    Please open up.
[10:48] ---
    Enter!
[10:55] ---
    Ah, Master Quinza...
[11:07] ---
    My Lord.
[11:09] ---
    Come closer. Hurry!
[11:16] ---
    Rumaty? Have you found Rumaty?
[11:19] ---
    No.
[11:22] ---
    But he can never set foot in Raginei again.
[11:25] ---
    But he lives!
[11:27] ---
    Rumaty will come back.
[11:29] ---
    He'll come, back and he'll kill me.
[11:32] ---
    Why did I ever think exile would be enough?
[11:36] ---
    You're frightened.
[11:38] ---
    Of course!
[11:40] ---
    I've executed innocent people...
[11:43] ---
    and charged my brother with an unthinkable crime.
[11:46] ---
    Rumaty will never forgive me...
[11:49] ---
    Try to put it out of your mind.
[11:52] ---
    I am the one who gave the execution order.
[11:56] ---
    You bear none of the guilt.
[11:59] ---
    Quinza...
[12:01] ---
    And after serving him for so long...
[12:03] ---
    I was also the one who set Prince Rumaty up.
[12:06] ---
    I was ashamed, but...
[12:08] ---
    I would do anything for the royal house, with no regrets.
[12:12] ---
    But...
[12:13] ---
    You are going to become His Majesty the King.
[12:16] ---
    There will be some obstacles you must overcome.
[12:20] ---
    Ob--obstacles?
[12:23] ---
    Flatterers who try to get close to His Majesty...
[12:26] ---
    people who chase after the throne like wild dogs...
[12:29] ---
    They're still out there? People like that?
[12:32] ---
    Unfortunately. However...
[12:35] ---
    They're no threat to His Majesty...
[12:37] ---
    because he is the representative of Raginei's God.
[12:41] ---
    God...
[12:43] ---
    That's right.
[12:45] ---
    His Majesty holds the power.
[12:48] ---
    None may oppose him.
[12:51] ---
    God?
[12:53] ---
    Listening to you gives me strength...
[12:57] ---
    Tell me! What should I do?
[13:01] ---
    Strengthen the Royal Guard.
[13:03] ---
    Instead of mere decoration, make them a real army under your direct control...
[13:08] ---
    an organization that uncovers and annihilates all disruptive elements.
[13:13] ---
    I--I understand. Do whatever you want.
[13:17] ---
    More people protecting me is a good thing...
[13:21] ---
    Leave it to me.
[13:23] ---
    I will show you the destruction...
[13:26] ---
    of everyone who stands against you.
[13:29] ---
    What magnificent contrast...
[13:31] ---
    Huh?
[13:32] ---
    In this garden...
[13:34] ---
    the harsh sunlight of Raginei...
[13:37] ---
    produces such light and shadow.
[13:39] ---
    It's easy to understand why they worship the sun.
[13:49] ---
    I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:51] ---
    I am the Crown Prince's Grand Chamberlain, Hobel Kanan.
[13:55] ---
    Young Master...
[13:59] ---
    I'm Carl Rosenthal.
[14:01] ---
    I'm here on behalf of my father, Nelson.
[14:10] ---
    Of course, Mr. Rosenthal is a giant in the financial world...
[14:14] ---
    and now he's sent us his young son...
[14:17] ---
    I am a novice...
[14:18] ---
    but I'm useful enough for running errands.
[14:22] ---
    No! That's--we didn't mean...
[14:27] ---
    First of all, my deepest condolences on the recent death of His Majesty the King.
[14:32] ---
    Still, the end of one era is also the beginning of another.
[14:38] ---
    Thank you.
[14:40] ---
    However...
[14:41] ---
    there's still a small problem in our way...
[14:46] ---
    Prince Rumaty, you mean?
[14:48] ---
    Right.
[14:50] ---
    Anyone who would commit such a crime, even a brother...
[14:54] ---
    naturally, we must summon him back to stand trial, or justice will not be served.
[14:59] ---
    But...
[15:01] ---
    inside America's borders, in order to find him...
[15:05] ---
    I see. You're seeking... cooperation...
[15:09] ---
    Just as you say.
[15:16] ---
    From what I could see from the plane...
[15:18] ---
    Construction on your new oil refinery is going well.
[15:23] ---
    Ah, yes, thank you.
[15:26] ---
    The Burnsworth corporate logo stands out, as always...
[15:30] ---
    As for that...
[15:32] ---
    Burnsworth has monopolized oil development in Raginei...
[15:35] ---
    for 25 years.
[15:38] ---
    It's more than a partnership now...
[15:42] ---
    Wherever Prince Rumaty is...
[15:45] ---
    I say Mr. Burnsworth is deeply concerned in it.
[15:49] ---
    That information has never been confirmed...
[15:51] ---
    It's nothing to worry about.
[15:54] ---
    If Prince Somand were to discover that Burnsworth sided with Rumaty...
[15:59] ---
    he'd be prepared to cut all ties.
[16:03] ---
    Raginei is changing.
[16:04] ---
    It's time to sever old bonds, and go forward with new partners to meet the new era.
[16:16] ---
    I'll tell my father.
[16:24] ---
    Was that alright?
[16:25] ---
    Saying all that without Prince Somand's permission...
[16:29] ---
    Without a reward, a dog won't hunt.
[16:33] ---
    What does it matter, until Rumaty is found?
[16:37] ---
    Master Kanan...
[16:39] ---
    Burnsworth isn't going to openly support Rumaty.
[16:44] ---
    After we have the Prince...
[16:46] ---
    we just have to tell Rosenthal there was no reason to cut ties.
[16:51] ---
    I see.
[16:52] ---
    There's a sly old fox in the Royal Palace of the Sun...
[16:56] ---
    If the King is taken in by those idiots...
[16:59] ---
    it doesn't say much for him.
[17:01] ---
    Well, certainly.
[17:03] ---
    As planned...
[17:04] ---
    Somand and Rumaty will do us the favor of fighting furiously over the throne.
[17:08] ---
    And you'll encourage the brothers' quarrel...
[17:11] ---
    Mm-hmm. If the two of them destroy each other...
[17:14] ---
    the throne goes to someone we already have in our hands...
[17:18] ---
    third-in-succession Izmal.
[17:19] ---
    That would only help us.
[17:22] ---
    The fall of Rosenthal...
[17:24] ---
    began 25 years ago on this soil.
[17:28] ---
    For my father's sake... I'll carve a foothold here for our restoration.
[17:33] ---
    War, then...
[17:35] ---
    Yes. This is war.
[17:39] ---
    Raginei will be the setting...
[17:41] ---
    for the war between Rosenthal and Burnsworth.
[17:50] ---
    Wow...
[17:52] ---
    It took me by surprise...
[17:54] ---
    a modern city like this.
[17:58] ---
    Well, then.
[17:59] ---
    Where are you going?
[18:01] ---
    Be right back.
[18:19] ---
    Master Quinza...
[18:21] ---
    how long is he going to keep praying?
[18:23] ---
    He's been like that for two hours now.
[18:34] ---
    Ah--Master Quinza!
[18:38] ---
    Ioe? I don't like being spied on.
[18:41] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:43] ---
    However... there's something I want to ask you.
[18:50] ---
    I just can't believe it.
[18:53] ---
    All this about Prince Rumaty plotting a coup.
[18:56] ---
    It's no use.
[18:58] ---
    There are written confessions from the officers that were arrested.
[19:02] ---
    They can't be ignored.
[19:04] ---
    But then, no one's sure just where they were written.
[19:08] ---
    Then--you have doubts, too, after all!
[19:11] ---
    Shh. Lower your voice.
[19:15] ---
    The walls have ears.
[19:17] ---
    If someone close to Prince Somand heard that, even that would be unforgivable.
[19:21] ---
    I apologize...
[19:23] ---
    Be mindful, Ioe.
[19:25] ---
    Right now, Prince Somand's mind...
[19:28] ---
    is filled with suspicion.
[19:30] ---
    He takes every word seriously...
[19:32] ---
    and he'll mercilessly punish anyone who has doubts.
[19:35] ---
    But that...
[19:37] ---
    From now on, you can't speak carelessly in this country.
[19:41] ---
    Isn't that a dictatorship, ruling through fear?
[19:45] ---
    Of course.
[19:46] ---
    I'm going to try and keep that from happening.
[19:49] ---
    However...
[19:50] ---
    I'm under suspicion as well of having allowed Rumaty to escape to America.
[19:56] ---
    Who knows how long I will keep my position as Chamberlain...
[19:59] ---
    Master Quinza...
[20:04] ---
    For now, anyway, I'll serve Prince Somand...
[20:07] ---
    and try to keep the country from going in the wrong direction.
[20:11] ---
    I'll help, too.
[20:13] ---
    Until we can prove Prince Rumaty's innocence.
[20:16] ---
    --Ioe
    --Ah?
[20:19] ---
    While I'm grateful for your help...
[20:24] ---
    I meant it when I asked you not to attract attention...
[20:28] ---
    Right.
[20:42] ---
    Master Quinza...
[20:44] ---
    When you were praying before, were you, perhaps...
[20:46] ---
    anxious for your country?
[20:48] ---
    Mm. That's right.
[20:50] ---
    I made a heartfelt vow to God...
[20:53] ---
    "Dear Lord... please protect my King...
[20:57] ---
    and I'll..."
[21:01] ---
    Ah, I'm bushed...
[21:04] ---
    No good, even as Dad's representative?
[21:06] ---
    No, it doesn't matter who...
[21:08] ---
    you can't see Prince Somand. He won't talk to anyone.
[21:12] ---
    And Quinza?
[21:13] ---
    About that.... According to the Head Chamberlain...
[21:17] ---
    he can't leave, because he's Chamberlain to Prince Somand.
[21:21] ---
    Somand?
[21:22] ---
    Quinza is Rumaty's Chamberlain!
[21:25] ---
    I--I know, but he definitely said...
[21:28] ---
    Strange.
[21:30] ---
    Just as Lee-Leng said, something is going on here...
[21:36] ---
    Mustafa!
[21:38] ---
    Eugene!
[21:41] ---
    Wh--why are you dressed like that?
[21:46] ---
    If you can't get in the front door...
[21:49] ---
    use the back door.
[21:51] ---
    My father wrote me an invitation.
[21:54] ---
    I'm heading out to Prince Izmal's party.
[21:57] ---
    Izmal?
[21:58] ---
    He's Prince Rumaty's cousin.
[22:02] ---
    Someone of my class should be able to meet him pretty easily.
[22:06] ---
    Plus, he apparently has a weakness for Caucasians...
[22:09] ---
    Really...
[22:10] ---
    I see! In that case, you're the perfect man for the job.
[22:14] ---
    But... is it alright?
[22:16] ---
    The other side already knows that Rumaty and I are connected.
[22:21] ---
    If it's discovered that you and I are connected...
[22:25] ---
    It's too convenient.
[22:28] ---
    If that does happen...
[22:30] ---
    they'll contact me on their own.
[22:33] ---
    But...
[22:38] ---
    I'll be fine...
[22:40] ---
    be good and wait for me...
[22:43] ---
    Besides, I'm actually quite excited...
[22:48] ---
    setting out to captivate someone of my own free will.
[22:55] ---
    Mustafa...
[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.
