[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...
[01:30] ---
    "Moonlight Medium"
[01:35] ---
    
[01:49] ---
    Prince Izmal, where are you going?
[01:52] ---
    I'm tired of this party. Eugene left, too.
[01:56] ---
    But... the guests are still...
[01:58] ---
    You go ahead and entertain them.
[02:08] ---
    Look... the moon is so beautiful. Such lovely silver light...
[02:13] ---
    It's just like your hair, Eugene.
[02:16] ---
    Thanks.
    By the way, Princess Najayra...
[02:21] ---
    would you mind telling me why you called me here?
[02:25] ---
    I just wanted to get a look at you in person.
[02:30] ---
    All of you who surround Kajika Burnsworth have been investigated.
[02:35] ---
    Lee-Leng Huang... you...
[02:39] ---
    Perhaps Rumaty counts as one of you, too...
[02:42] ---
    The boy seems awfully taken with Kajika.
[02:47] ---
    The men from before... they were Americans, right?
[02:50] ---
    What do they have to do with Your Highness?
[02:52] ---
    They're dogs -- dogs after scraps.
[02:56] ---
    I don't mind dogs... obedient ones, at least.
[03:02] ---
    Izmal, for example. He's a good dog.
[03:05] ---
    That's quite a thing to say.
[03:08] ---
    Whatever you call it, a dog is a dog.
[03:11] ---
    Lately, though, I've grown a bit tired of dogs.
[03:15] ---
    Around Kajika, there are a lot of wilder beasts.
[03:20] ---
    This is an interesting discussion, but...
[03:22] ---
    that's not what I was asking about.
[03:30] ---
    Let's change topics.
[03:33] ---
    What does Your Highness think of this coup d'état business?
[03:38] ---
    As part of the royal family, you surely can't ignore it.
[03:43] ---
    What a dull question!
[03:46] ---
    I don't care what happens to the crown.
[03:49] ---
    Whichever fool wants it can have it.
[03:54] ---
    Somand... Izmal... Rumaty...
[03:57] ---
    Whoever makes things interesting will suit me.
[04:00] ---
    As long as they let me enjoy myself... I couldn't care less.
[04:07] ---
    I hear Kajika calls you "Mustafa?"
[04:11] ---
    She really thinks the spirit of her dead pet leopard is in you...
[04:16] ---
    she's a little fool, but I think we'd get along...
[04:20] ---
    I'm quite pleased with you myself... Mustafa.
[04:28] ---
    Say, Mustafa, tell me...
[04:31] ---
    just how many women have you watched kill themselves because of you?
[04:37] ---
    How did they do it? With a gun? With a knife?
[04:42] ---
    Was there blood? How much?
[04:47] ---
    Do you even know what you're saying?
[04:54] ---
    Don't you dare!
[04:56] ---
    I won't have you talk like that!
[04:59] ---
    Are you trying to curse me with the spirit of those evil words?
[05:02] ---
    What kind of girl is this?
[05:04] ---
    What on earth is this force that can come from such a small frame?
[05:11] ---
    This girl...
    She's a wild animal herself!
[05:27] ---
    Noei...
[05:32] ---
    Sezun continues to deny any knowledge of it...
[05:37] ---
    but a man of Noei's description was seen using a forged passport to leave for Malaysia.
[05:45] ---
    Planning to go to Prince Somand...
[05:48] ---
    he's so rash and so serious; it can't end well.
[05:52] ---
    It seems I underestimated his capacity for action.
[05:55] ---
    He's a soldier to the core...
[05:58] ---
    he'll know how to stay well hidden in that region.
[06:03] ---
    Pursue him anyway.
    I'm worried about Quinza's leanings.
[06:07] ---
    If Noei makes it into Raginei, the two of them are certain to meet.
[06:13] ---
    Do you think Quinza has gone over to the side of Prince Somand?
[06:18] ---
    I wouldn't say that.
    But I think we can say for certain...
[06:22] ---
    if this royal family discord is a plot...
[06:26] ---
    he's the author.
[06:29] ---
    Please, don't give us all that strict stuff!
[06:32] ---
    If you have business with the Ambassador, please go to the embassy tomorrow morning.
[06:37] ---
    It can't wait until tomorrow!
[06:39] ---
    We're not suspicious characters.
[06:41] ---
    Look, here's my father's business card.
[06:45] ---
    I don't care if you're the President; I can't let you pass.
[06:50] ---
    Of all the stubborn...
[06:52] ---
    Miss Kajika, please, leave it to me.
    I'm used to this kind of thing.
[06:56] ---
    Toranosuke!
[06:58] ---
    All we need is one word...
[07:02] ---
    Here...
[07:06] ---
    Idiots!
[07:07] ---
    Children like you, trying to bribe me?
[07:10] ---
    I screwed up!
[07:11] ---
    I really am just a baby-face!
[07:14] ---
    What's this "used to this kind of thing?"
    Forget it!
[07:21] ---
    Aah!
[07:22] ---
    We'll force our way in! Keep up, Toranosuke!
[07:25] ---
    Hey, wait!
[07:26] ---
    Miss Kajika, this is nuts!
[07:30] ---
    Intruders! Seize them!
    They came in the front gate!
[07:35] ---
    Ambassador, please give us an audience!
[07:38] ---
    What the heck are you doing?
[07:39] ---
    It's urgent!
[07:44] ---
    It's dangerous, Ambassador!
[07:48] ---
    Jim!
[07:50] ---
    I thought I might be seeing you soon... Kajika.
[07:56] ---
    Jim Simensky.
[07:58] ---
    He's an old friend of Dad's.
[08:02] ---
    Harry told me you were coming to Raginei.
[08:06] ---
    In that case, he could have said something to me.
[08:10] ---
    I hear Harry is sheltering Prince Rumaty.
[08:14] ---
    Rumaty is innocent.
[08:16] ---
    Something is definitely going on inside the Raginei Royal Palace!
[08:21] ---
    So my friend Eugene was going to sneak into Prince Izmal's party to gather information, but...
[08:28] ---
    I'm worried...
[08:30] ---
    He went to Prince Izmal's estate?
    That's not good.
[08:36] ---
    It seems Prince Izmal is growing closer to the Rosenthal family.
[08:41] ---
    -Rosenthal?
    -That's an American conglomerate.
[08:45] ---
    There is a connection between Harry and Nelson, the current Rosenthal chairman.
[08:53] ---
    Until about 20 years ago, the Burnsworth Group was only an independent oil company.
[09:02] ---
    Rosenthal, on the other hand, was known as part of Big Oil, and it controlled most of the world's multinationals.
[09:10] ---
    That is, until something sparked a reversal of their positions, and Rosenthal swiftly declined.
[09:19] ---
    Ever since, Nelson has called Burnsworth his enemy.
[09:24] ---
    His son and heir, Carl Rosenthal, is in Raginei now.
[09:30] ---
    Carl Rosenthal?
[09:33] ---
    He's still a youngster, only around 20...
[09:37] ---
    but he's old Nelson's right-hand man.
[09:41] ---
    As soon as I heard he was here, I knew Rosenthal was up to something serious.
[09:47] ---
    The royal infighting won't end anytime soon.
[09:51] ---
    So Rosenthal has a grudge against Burnsworth and backs Prince Izmal...
[09:57] ---
    and now, because Eugene is Baron Volkan's son...
[10:01] ---
    he may have walked into the lion's den.
[10:05] ---
    Well, Baron Volkan has a great deal of political influence in France.
[10:10] ---
    The other side is probably not foolish enough to provoke an international incident with France.
[10:18] ---
    At any rate, we'll give it one night.
[10:21] ---
    If he doesn't come back, I'll do something.
[10:25] ---
    Thank you, Jim.
[10:33] ---
    Carl Rosenthal...
[10:36] ---
    Would you tell me your name?
[10:39] ---
    I'm Carl Rosenthal.
[10:43] ---
    Carl... what a nice name.
[10:46] ---
    I'm Kajika. Kajika Burnsworth.
[10:51] ---
    ...Burnsworth?
[10:54] ---
    Someday you will see my gratitude.
[10:58] ---
    To think, Carl's father has a grudge against Dad...
[11:02] ---
    It's okay, Eugene will be fine.
[11:05] ---
    That's good, but...
    I can't help thinking...
[11:11] ---
    Just like with Rumaty, even though he adores his brother Somand...
[11:16] ---
    People's hearts are... complicated.
[11:20] ---
    It's very... painful.
[11:27] ---
    Did you just say...
[11:31] ---
    you want to go outside, Prince?
[11:33] ---
    I did, and I won't ask again!
[11:36] ---
    You put yourself in this position, Your Highness.
[11:40] ---
    I get it! I'm saying I get it!
[11:43] ---
    Just how long do I have to stay hidden in this house?
[11:49] ---
    It's for your safety.
[11:51] ---
    Even so, you could give me the least bit of breathing room!
[11:56] ---
    I understand your feelings, but...
[11:58] ---
    as long as you're in my custody, I can't permit it.
[12:03] ---
    Custody? Who said anything about custody?
[12:07] ---
    I have no guardian, and no country!
[12:12] ---
    I'm afraid you don't understand.
[12:16] ---
    To put it harshly...
[12:18] ---
    You have only one protector: Harry Burnsworth.
[12:24] ---
    You're not going anywhere he doesn't want you to go.
[12:28] ---
    Why is Burnsworth sheltering me?
    What's in it for him?
[12:33] ---
    That, Prince, is a question for you to answer.
[12:39] ---
    If you don't understand that...
[12:41] ---
    you're not trying hard enough.
[12:44] ---
    I...
[12:48] ---
    I hate you, Lee-Leng!
[12:50] ---
    That's your prerogative.
[13:02] ---
    You could have explained that a little more smoothly.
[13:05] ---
    Why speak so harshly to him?
[13:09] ---
    Why?
[13:10] ---
    If the Prince is going to be taken seriously...
[13:13] ---
    he should see what serious business looks like.
[13:16] ---
    I'm not sure I follow you.
[13:18] ---
    Prince Rumaty is not Miss Kajika.
[13:22] ---
    When you scold him like that...
    it doesn't seem likely that he'll just listen obediently.
[13:27] ---
    How did Kajika get into this?
[13:30] ---
    Never mind that.
[13:33] ---
    I understand your desire to train Prince Rumaty, but it's too much, too fast.
[13:37] ---
    Before now, he's always been spoiled to his heart's content.
[13:42] ---
    The way he's carrying on now is just his way of venting his emotions.
[13:46] ---
    It won't get him anything he wants...
[13:49] ---
    and he knows it.
[13:57] ---
    He has grown up under his own restraint...
[14:02] ---
    But from now, even that much won't be permitted.
[14:06] ---
    He'll have no freedom until he wears the crown...
[14:11] ---
    and then if he gets the crown, there's another set of restraints waiting for him.
[14:16] ---
    He must be made to remember that.
[14:19] ---
    Master Lee-Leng...
    do you believe Prince Rumaty will gain the throne?
[14:25] ---
    Nothing is settled yet...
[14:29] ---
    but something is going to happen in Raginei.
[14:31] ---
    And whatever storm comes...
    Prince Rumaty will be caught in it.
[14:39] ---
    That's his fate.
    There's no escaping it.
[14:48] ---
    I can't stand it anymore!
    Where does he get off, bossing me around?
[14:52] ---
    Y--your Highness, please try to calm down...
[14:55] ---
    Where!? He's just one of Burnsworth's pawns!
[14:59] ---
    If Your Highness could be patient...
[15:02] ---
    Sezun! I'm going outside!
    If I can't leave, I'll die!
[15:06] ---
    Your Highness...
[15:08] ---
    I'll just die.
    That's what my brother wants anyway...
[15:15] ---
    My brother...
[15:18] ---
    Your Highness...
[15:21] ---
    Leave.
[15:22] ---
    I said go!
[15:24] ---
    Don't let anyone in!
[15:26] ---
    Get out!
[15:40] ---
    My brother... to be treated so badly...
[15:45] ---
    this is how much he hates me.
[16:02] ---
    When we were children, we often played together...
[16:07] ---
    But then, once I reached 10 years old...
[16:11] ---
    I could no longer come to the Crown Prince whenever I liked...
[16:15] ---
    and my big brother changed.
[16:19] ---
    The Crown Prince's Chamberlain, Kanan, and First Chamberlain Sareha...
[16:25] ---
    they shut him up and kept me away from him.
[16:31] ---
    All of this... this must be their doing!
[16:35] ---
    That's it... my brother is just being manipulated!
[16:40] ---
    That has to be it!
    My brother could never decide anything by himself.
[16:47] ---
    If they did this, it's unforgivable.
[16:50] ---
    They should be ripped from limb to limb!
[16:55] ---
    I have to go back... whatever it takes.
[17:00] ---
    But how...?
    How can I get out of here?
[17:05] ---
    How do I catch Lee-Leng Huang off guard?
[17:12] ---
    I'll have to play a role.
    Pretend to accept my fate quietly...
[17:16] ---
    and act the part of the powerless child.
[17:19] ---
    It's my only chance.
[17:21] ---
    Then I'll escape back to my country...find my brother, and find out for sure!
[17:26] ---
    Until I hear it with my own ears...
[17:30] ---
    I won't believe it!
[17:52] ---
    A little bird told me...
[17:56] ---
    Princess Najayra is meeting with Eugene De Volkan.
[18:01] ---
    Three people that I know of have gone into that room and never came out...
[18:09] ---
    It's late...
[18:11] ---
    -What are they doing?
    -Is everything alright?
[18:14] ---
    The young master doesn't think much of Princess Najayra.
[18:17] ---
    He'll negotiate with Prince Izmal to the bitter end...
[18:20] ---
    Prince Izmal is just a yes-man for Miss Najayra.
[18:24] ---
    He's useless without her.
[18:27] ---
    Gregory!
[18:29] ---
    The young master!
[18:32] ---
    Carl... what is it?
[18:34] ---
    I hear Eugene De Volkan is here.
    Is he in there?
[18:39] ---
    Miss Najayra said she wanted to meet him...
[18:42] ---
    Idiotic.
[18:44] ---
    --I'm going in.
    --But...
[18:45] ---
    Miss Najayra said not to let anyone in...
[18:49] ---
    Gregory...
    When did you become Najayra's chamberlain?
[18:55] ---
    It's not like that!
[18:56] ---
    I just meant... putting her in a bad mood doesn't help Rosenthal any.
[19:02] ---
    All the more reason.
    We're careful, and she's off guard.
[19:10] ---
    Miss Najayra! It's Carl!
    May I come in?
[19:17] ---
    If you don't reply, I'll just come in... alright?
[19:22] ---
    Yes, sir...
[19:34] ---
    Eugene De Volkan?
[19:38] ---
    And you are?
[19:41] ---
    Carl Rosenthal.
[19:44] ---
    Forgive my rudeness.
[19:46] ---
    Rosenthal?
[19:51] ---
    -...did the Princess flee?
    -It seems she dislikes you.
[19:56] ---
    Hates me... is more like it....
[20:00] ---
    because her magical powers don't work on me.
[20:04] ---
    Magical powers?
[20:05] ---
    Her grandmother's family was responsible for the magical portion of the royal family.
[20:14] ---
    It was also their duty to interpret God's messages for the King...
    and to tell the future.
[20:22] ---
    To this day, they're a very powerful house, even apart from the royal family.
[20:27] ---
    I see.
    That explains her confidence, then.
[20:33] ---
    Well, that's not all.
[20:36] ---
    As a medium, she carries her own religious power.
[20:41] ---
    At any rate, it's almost sunrise.
[20:44] ---
    I'll get you back to a hotel.
[20:46] ---
    No thanks, I have a car.
[20:50] ---
    Voilà! Car keys.
[20:53] ---
    Eddie...
[20:54] ---
    I'll be driving you back to the hotel.
[20:58] ---
    Aw, don't look like that...
[21:00] ---
    I'm the one who told Carl.
    How about a "thank you?"
[21:11] ---
    Volkan...
[21:13] ---
    Give Kajika a message for me.
    Tell her the debt is repaid.
[21:20] ---
    Well, night.
[21:26] ---
    A debt... to Kajika?
[21:32] ---
    Young master... I was looking for you.
[21:35] ---
    Ah, Harris. Sorry about that.
[21:37] ---
    We've confirmed the whereabouts of Prince Rumaty.
[21:43] ---
    Then he was at the Burnsworth estate.
[21:49] ---
    Chairman Harry may claim not to know, but it's over.
[21:53] ---
    -Inform Somand.
    -Yes, sir.
[21:56] ---
    Do you wish to send assassins?
[21:59] ---
    Not this time.
    Somand's chamberlains have a plan.
[22:04] ---
    They'll bring him here and then execute him.
[22:07] ---
    Well... even just bringing him back...
[22:09] ---
    unless he makes a move on his own, we can't get our hands on him.
[22:13] ---
    We'll just have to hope Rumaty does something reckless.
[22:20] ---
    Given his personality...
    there's a pretty good chance.
[22:27] ---
    The more the two of them fight, the better.
[22:29] ---
    It makes them look bad in front of their people and the world.
[22:34] ---
    Is that where the pure Prince Izmal comes in?
[22:40] ---
    A little weak, isn't he...
[22:44] ---
    But, then, what we really want...
    is a king who can't manage to do good or evil.
[22:50] ---
    But a smart king or a queen who's evil itself...
    we don't need.
[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.
