[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...
[01:32] ---
    That's a lie!
[01:33] ---
    My brother isn't trying to kill me!
[01:36] ---
    Noei is an officer under the direct control of His Highness the Crown Prince Somand.
[01:41] ---
    There is no room for doubt.
[01:43] ---
    It's all a big lie.
[01:45] ---
    My brother would never do a stupid thing like that!
[01:52] ---
    I'll ask you one last time.
[01:53] ---
    Did you plan this alone?
[01:58] ---
    Yes.
[02:02] ---
    You're saying you weren't under anyone's orders?
[02:06] ---
    Yes.
[02:09] ---
    My younger brother...
[02:11] ---
    Rumaty... kill him.
[02:17] ---
    Yes. The plot was mine alone.
[02:26] ---
    The scabbard...
[02:29] ---
    That's enough!
[02:32] ---
    Nothing happened.
[02:34] ---
    This is over!
[02:40] ---
    Rumaty!
[02:41] ---
    Stay out!
[02:47] ---
    Rumaty...
[02:50] ---
    No one can see...
[02:53] ---
    The tears of the King's son...
[02:56] ---
    aren't something I can let anyone see...
[03:12] ---
    "Promise"
[03:24] ---
    Yes?
[03:26] ---
    Ah, it's Miss Kajika.
[03:28] ---
    Is Rumaty up?
[03:30] ---
    Yes, I carried his breakfast in a while ago.
[03:33] ---
    Did he eat anything this morning?
[03:36] ---
    No... not really...
[03:39] ---
    I thought not, so I made these...
[03:42] ---
    Banana cupcakes!
[03:45] ---
    You did this for His Highness?
[03:48] ---
    I'm sure he'll be delighted.
[03:50] ---
    My nurse Maria taught me to make them...
[03:53] ---
    they're really good!
[03:54] ---
    Sezun, what is it?
[03:57] ---
    Brother...
[03:58] ---
    Miss Kajika brought cupcakes for His Highness...
[04:02] ---
    How kind of you...
[04:05] ---
    we'll make sure he gets them.
[04:07] ---
    But... can't I see him?
[04:10] ---
    Unfortunately...
[04:12] ---
    His Highness is still a little under the weather...
[04:15] ---
    I see... there's nothing you can do, then...
[04:19] ---
    Well then, Miss Kajika...
[04:41] ---
    Hello? It's me.
[04:44] ---
    Yeah... are you clear?
[04:47] ---
    This is your last chance.
[04:50] ---
    Why didn't you let her in, brother?
[04:53] ---
    You know what His Highness' moods are like.
[04:56] ---
    If we let her see him now, he'd end up throwing the cupcakes at her.
[05:01] ---
    She's Burnsworth's only daughter.
[05:04] ---
    If she and His Highness aren't good friends, there will be problems down the line...
[05:09] ---
    Well, then, I'll just...
[05:11] ---
    That won't be necessary!
[05:13] ---
    What are you thinking...
[05:15] ---
    giving His Highness something made by an amateur?
[05:18] ---
    What? She made these especially for His Highness...
[05:20] ---
    Sezun!
[05:22] ---
    Let me explain to you the position His Highness is in.
[05:27] ---
    His Highness Rumaty is currently second in line for the throne.
[05:31] ---
    But if sickly Crown Prince Somand met with some accident...
[05:36] ---
    His Highness Rumaty would become King.
[05:40] ---
    And someone like that...
[05:42] ---
    can't be receiving favors from a girl who's not even from Raginei...
[05:46] ---
    We must be prepared for every scenario.
[05:52] ---
    Brother, the way you're talking...
[05:54] ---
    it's almost like you're sure an "accident" will happen to His Highness Somand...
[05:59] ---
    Sezun... hurry and grow up.
[06:03] ---
    For His Highness' sake.
[06:14] ---
    Enter.
[06:17] ---
    2nd Lt. Noei, are you up?
[06:19] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[06:21] ---
    You don't have to get up.
[06:23] ---
    My injury is nothing, really.
[06:26] ---
    Your doctor would be pretty mad if he heard you say that, Lieutenant.
[06:30] ---
    You can stop calling me "Lieutenant."
[06:33] ---
    I'm not a soldier anymore.
[06:37] ---
    Can I call you "Isaac," then?
[06:39] ---
    Sure.
[06:42] ---
    Is anything wrong?
[06:44] ---
    You seem a bit down.
[06:48] ---
    Very perceptive...
[06:51] ---
    Rumaty won't see me.
[06:54] ---
    I thought we'd become friends.
[06:58] ---
    That was pretty self-important of me.
[07:03] ---
    No one can comfort His Highness right now.
[07:09] ---
    I know how Prince Rumaty adored Crown Prince Somand...
[07:15] ---
    But the Crown Prince didn't understand that...
[07:20] ---
    in the end...
[07:23] ---
    Don't say a word.
[07:24] ---
    Say nothing, and kill Rumaty!
[07:27] ---
    Your Highness!
[07:29] ---
    I can't sleep at night!
[07:31] ---
    Those blue eyes cut right through me...
[07:33] ---
    I'm scared of them...
[07:34] ---
    And my younger brother, with the violent temper...
[07:39] ---
    I'm scared of him...
[07:42] ---
    Isaac... Isaac?
[07:49] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:50] ---
    Ah...
[07:52] ---
    Sorry...
[07:54] ---
    you just...
[07:55] ---
    you look too much like His Highness Rumaty.
[07:58] ---
    Do I really?
[08:00] ---
    I can't really see it, myself...
[08:03] ---
    But you look like someone too, someone I knew.
[08:08] ---
    What kind of person?
[08:10] ---
    A Doberman!
[08:11] ---
    You mean... a dog?
[08:14] ---
    Yeah, one of Dad's dogs...
[08:17] ---
    jet black and huge!
[08:20] ---
    Since Mustafa's smell always clung to me...
[08:24] ---
    most dogs were scared...
[08:26] ---
    but this one kept his cool. He had guts.
[08:30] ---
    Mustafa?
[08:31] ---
    The white leopard I loved.
[08:33] ---
    I see.
[08:35] ---
    Mustafa hated animals... that Doberman was the only one who ever interested him.
[08:40] ---
    He always stuck close to Dad, though...
[08:42] ---
    so he couldn't be around me much...
[08:47] ---
    Isaac...
[08:50] ---
    Why not come to America...
[08:53] ---
    to my house?
[08:56] ---
    Instead of the Doberman?
[08:59] ---
    But I'm just like that dog.
[09:02] ---
    I also have a master for life.
[09:06] ---
    I'm no one's master.
[09:09] ---
    The Doberman and Mustafa were both my dear friends...
[09:14] ---
    I loved them.
[09:16] ---
    Therefore I'd like to be friends with you, too.
[09:21] ---
    You're a strange girl...
[09:27] ---
    Excuse me.
[09:28] ---
    May I?
[09:29] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[09:31] ---
    I need a word with Mr. Noei.
[09:33] ---
    Well, I'll slip out then.
[09:39] ---
    I'll be back later.
[09:43] ---
    Looks like she likes you.
[09:46] ---
    She told me I looked like her old friend the Doberman.
[09:49] ---
    Strangely enough, I don't mind.
[09:52] ---
    I guess it's her natural charm.
[09:55] ---
    Are you going to go to America?
[09:59] ---
    I know how Kajika thinks...
[10:02] ---
    There are deep ties between Raginei and the Burnsworth family.
[10:06] ---
    You'd probably like to be somewhere where you can stay informed.
[10:10] ---
    Also, there's Quinza...
[10:12] ---
    He's probably a bit uneasy about letting me go completely.
[10:16] ---
    He'd be relieved to put me in a "Burnsworth" jail cell.
[10:20] ---
    Maybe I could be useful as a witness, if things get serious.
[10:24] ---
    You're much more than a simple soldier, aren't you.
[10:29] ---
    You catch on very quickly.
[10:31] ---
    Will you go quietly to jail?
[10:36] ---
    I'll go.
[10:44] ---
    Rumaty!
[10:47] ---
    I came to say goodbye.
[10:48] ---
    I'm going back to my country.
[10:51] ---
    --When?
    --Tonight.
[10:53] ---
    So suddenly?
[10:55] ---
    I have to see my older brother...
[10:58] ---
    This time, whoever tries to stop me...
[11:02] ---
    You can't see your brother freely?
[11:05] ---
    Brother and I live in different palaces.
[11:09] ---
    The palace of the Queen and Crown Prince...
[11:11] ---
    is off-limits without the approval of the Prince's Head Chamberlain.
[11:15] ---
    I see... so then...
[11:17] ---
    you can't see your mother freely, either?
[11:20] ---
    My mother passed away not long after I was born.
[11:24] ---
    I don't remember my mother, either...
[11:29] ---
    she died when I was two years old.
[11:34] ---
    Rumaty, your eyes are red...
[11:37] ---
    I--I haven't slept well, these last two days.
[11:41] ---
    Rumaty!
[11:42] ---
    We're friends, aren't we?
[11:45] ---
    Why won't you share even the smallest complaint with me?
[11:49] ---
    Can't you trust me that much?
[11:52] ---
    It doesn't matter what it is...
[11:53] ---
    I want to be someone you rely on.
[11:55] ---
    I want to, but I can't do anything, and it's frustrating!
[11:59] ---
    I'm lonely...
[12:03] ---
    Soft...
[12:06] ---
    Why is it so soft?
[12:09] ---
    I've never felt anything like it before.
[12:23] ---
    Ah--S--sorry...! I d--didn't mean...
[12:31] ---
    Great! You're feeling better!
[12:35] ---
    I'm so glad my hands were helpful.
[12:37] ---
    If it's this good, you can touch me any time!
[12:44] ---
    By the way...
[12:45] ---
    Hm?
[12:46] ---
    I know it's your brother, but...
[12:48] ---
    you'd better not rush into anything.
[12:50] ---
    I don't understand the whole situation...
[12:52] ---
    but there are too many people in between you two.
[12:57] ---
    Whenever it goes through a third party...
[12:59] ---
    the truth will always be warped. That's what my dad says.
[13:03] ---
    The only thing to do is talk frankly with him face-to-face.
[13:07] ---
    I think so, too.
[13:09] ---
    When I got to see my brother before I left, he was kind to me.
[13:14] ---
    Yeah, it must be some kind of misunderstanding!
[13:17] ---
    It must be!
[13:19] ---
    No one would try to kill his own baby brother.
[13:28] ---
    Tonight...
[13:34] ---
    W--when I turn eighteen...
[13:37] ---
    I'll be studying abroad.
[13:40] ---
    Studying abroad?
[13:41] ---
    Oxford University.
[13:43] ---
    Go to the same college as me!
[13:47] ---
    I wonder if I can get in... it seems pretty tough...
[13:50] ---
    Do you get bad grades?
[13:53] ---
    I think they're not bad, but...
[13:55] ---
    I've always been tutored, so I don't know how I rank.
[13:58] ---
    I never worried about it...
[13:59] ---
    Hm... come to think of it, same for me.
[14:06] ---
    Excuse me.
[14:09] ---
    Are those strawberries?
[14:11] ---
    Master Lee-Leng asked me to bring them over.
[14:14] ---
    Lee-Leng? That's weird...
[14:18] ---
    he always gets mad when I eat between meals.
[14:21] ---
    What?
[14:28] ---
    Wait! Don't eat that! Kajika!
[14:31] ---
    Hey, lady!
[14:34] ---
    Wait!
[14:35] ---
    If anyone's out there... she's an assassin! Don't let her escape!
[14:39] ---
    Hold it right there!
[14:41] ---
    Stop...
[14:42] ---
    please don't kill me...
[14:44] ---
    I only did what they asked!
[14:46] ---
    They just said, "Get into the house and serve strawberries!"
[14:49] ---
    Her target was Kajika!
[14:51] ---
    What!?
[14:54] ---
    Hey! Who sent you!?
[14:59] ---
    Toranosuke, we won't have violence here.
[15:02] ---
    Master Lee-Leng...
[15:07] ---
    Don't worry. We won't hurt you.
[15:10] ---
    You just wanted some money, right?
[15:14] ---
    Wh--who are you?
[15:16] ---
    I'm in charge here.
[15:18] ---
    As it stands, you'll be charged with attempted murder.
[15:22] ---
    If you were to cooperate, though...
[15:24] ---
    I'll do it! I'll cooperate!
[15:26] ---
    Well then... tell me the name of the person who sent you.
[15:31] ---
    Someone I know from the slums...
[15:33] ---
    but he said he was following orders, too!
[15:36] ---
    Fine. Toranosuke...
[15:38] ---
    go with her and track the guy down.
[15:40] ---
    Ah... right.
[15:42] ---
    Now. I have one more question.
[15:45] ---
    Answer this for me...
[15:48] ---
    O--okay.
[15:49] ---
    How did you get in here?
[15:51] ---
    He said, at exactly ten o'clock...
[15:52] ---
    Security would go down for just 30 seconds.
[15:56] ---
    Someone on the inside...?
[16:02] ---
    I'll take this matter...
[16:04] ---
    into my own hands.
[16:08] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[16:18] ---
    What are you doing?
[16:21] ---
    Work.
[16:25] ---
    Has Toranosuke come back?
[16:27] ---
    A while ago. He uncovered the culprit, too.
[16:30] ---
    Who?
[16:31] ---
    Leon Wie.
[16:33] ---
    You can stop worrying.
[16:34] ---
    We drove him out of Hong Kong.
[16:36] ---
    That's not it...
[16:38] ---
    there's still someone behind him.
[16:40] ---
    Do you want to know?
[16:43] ---
    No... I just...
[16:46] ---
    what are you going to do with the person?
[16:49] ---
    They should be punished, shouldn't they?
[16:54] ---
    Lee-Leng... sometimes you get a scary look on your face...
[16:58] ---
    you stop being the Lee-Leng I know.
[17:02] ---
    But... when you look like that...
[17:05] ---
    it always has something to do with me.
[17:08] ---
    If I'm the one...
[17:10] ---
    making you do that...
[17:12] ---
    I'll be sad...
[17:14] ---
    Are you afraid of me?
[17:20] ---
    Why would I be afraid of you?
[17:25] ---
    Well, it's almost time for His Highness to leave.
[17:29] ---
    You should say goodbye.
[17:31] ---
    Yeah.
[17:33] ---
    I'll be there in a moment.
[17:35] ---
    Okay.
[17:46] ---
    I thought you'd come.
[17:50] ---
    You're completely soft when it comes to that girl.
[17:54] ---
    I can't stand watching...
[17:56] ---
    the look on your face when you look at her...
[17:58] ---
    If you love her that much, go ahead and propose!
[18:02] ---
    If you asked Burnsworth's consent, you'd get it, right?
[18:05] ---
    If the world were as simple as you are, I would.
[18:09] ---
    What are you saying?
[18:12] ---
    That's not what you wanted to hear, is it?
[18:17] ---
    I knew you were a fool...
[18:19] ---
    but you're worse than I ever knew.
[18:23] ---
    The kind of devil woman...
[18:24] ---
    who's motivated by money and loves only herself...
[18:26] ---
    is much easier to deal with.
[18:30] ---
    I thought you fit the stereotype, too, but...
[18:33] ---
    Lee-Leng... I...
[18:35] ---
    I guess I can't get conceited...
[18:38] ---
    my true feelings for you...
[18:40] ---
    there's a lot I still don't understand.
[18:45] ---
    Lee-Leng!
[18:47] ---
    Please...
[18:49] ---
    Forgive me! Lee-Leng...
[18:57] ---
    Bridget...
[18:59] ---
    I'll give you an hour.
[19:02] ---
    During that time, think about your future plans.
[19:11] ---
    After one hour...
[19:12] ---
    you won't get any more soft words.
[19:16] ---
    But...
[19:18] ---
    I was somewhat fond...
[19:20] ---
    of your foolish parts.
[19:24] ---
    Farewell.
[19:26] ---
    Rumaty!
[19:29] ---
    Kajika!
[19:31] ---
    Did you find out who made the attempt on your life?
[19:33] ---
    I'll be fine.
[19:35] ---
    Lee-Leng is by my side!
[19:37] ---
    That guy?
[19:39] ---
    He gives me the creeps, but he seems reliable...
[19:42] ---
    Rumaty, look at the second window on the third floor...
[19:47] ---
    What is it? I see someone's shadow...
[19:49] ---
    It's Isaac.
[19:51] ---
    He's secretly seeing you off...
[19:53] ---
    We're going to take care of him at my house in America.
[19:57] ---
    If you give your permission, tell me!
[19:59] ---
    Hmph... none of my business.
[20:02] ---
    --Sezun.
    --Ah--yes?
[20:05] ---
    I know that, when you were schoolchildren...
[20:08] ---
    he took care of timid little you...
[20:11] ---
    I also understand that you love him like a brother even today...
[20:15] ---
    Brother...
[20:17] ---
    But don't forget...
[20:19] ---
    your real brother is right here.
[20:22] ---
    Noei is a useful sacrificial pawn.
[20:25] ---
    He'll come in handy someday for His Highness' sake.
[20:29] ---
    If you are my younger brother...
[20:31] ---
    you'll get rid of all this sympathy.
[20:34] ---
    This is a charm from the island where I was raised.
[20:37] ---
    It's made from the shell of a sea turtle.
[20:41] ---
    I'm sure... it will protect you.
[20:43] ---
    Huh... can a prince even wear something like this?
[20:48] ---
    You're finally back to your old self... it's okay if you don't wear it.
[20:53] ---
    I--I'll wear it under my clothes...
[20:59] ---
    Rumaty...
[21:04] ---
    It's a friendship promise...
[21:06] ---
    Give me one, too...
[21:19] ---
    From now on, whatever happens...
[21:22] ---
    we will be friends.
[21:25] ---
    Even if the whole world turns against you...
[21:27] ---
    I'll be on your side...
[21:30] ---
    I promise...
[21:34] ---
    Okay. It's a promise.
[21:50] ---
    Master Lee-Leng...
[21:51] ---
    Ms. Bridget has fled.
[21:53] ---
    Shall we confirm her destination?
[21:56] ---
    It doesn't matter... leave her alone.
[21:58] ---
    That little fool...
[22:01] ---
    Uncle, keep your chin up.
[22:04] ---
    I know a girl who looks a lot like Bridget...
[22:07] ---
    I'll introduce you someday.
[22:09] ---
    You say some cruel things sometimes...
[22:23] ---
    Your Highness...
[22:24] ---
    I've brought you your tea.
[22:28] ---
    What's that?
[22:29] ---
    A present from a friend...
[22:32] ---
    It's a dumb little thing... but I'm wearing it...
[22:35] ---
    That must be...
[22:36] ---
    an especially bold school friend.
[22:38] ---
    Who on Earth is his father?
[22:41] ---
    What are you asking me?
[22:42] ---
    A school friend isn't called "a friend."
[22:46] ---
    Your Highness...
[22:50] ---
    I got this... from a real friend!
[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.
