**[00:05] Yuuta**
What? Right now?
**[00:07] Sis**
*I really need to know!*
**[00:09] Sis**
*Yuuta, please!*
**[00:10] Yuuta**
Jeez. Okay.
**[00:13] Joshua**
Is that a call from your sister?
**[00:16] Yuuta**
Joshua, perfect timing!
**[00:18] Yuuta**
Will you talk to her for a little bit?
**[00:20] Joshua**
If it's okay with her,
then I'm happy to do it.
**[00:24] Joshua**
It's been a while.
**[00:25] Joshua**
Have you been well?
**[00:26] Sis**
*Yes, thank you for asking.*
**[00:28] Sis**
*And what about you, Joshua?*
**[00:30] Sis**
* I hope our Yuuta isn't*
* causing you any trouble!*
**[00:34] Joshua**
You seem to always be thinking about Yuuta.
**[00:39] Joshua**
I'm a bit jealous of him.
**[00:41] Sis**
*Oh!*
**[00:42] Sis**
* But that's just because Yuuta's*
* so clumsy, awkward, and unreliable.*
**[00:46] Sis**
* I worry about him*
* causing all of you problems.*
**[00:49] Sis**
*That's why I...*
**[00:54] Joshua**
If only I had someone like you, too...
**[00:58] Sis**
*Joshua?*
**[01:00] Joshua**
Oh, Yuuta's back.
**[01:02] Joshua**
I'll give him back to you.
**[01:04] Yuuta**
It was season three, episode 18.
**[01:07] Yuuta**
You really need to stop calling
for little things like this.
**[01:10] Sis**
* But it was bothering me*
* so much I couldn't rest!*
**[01:14] Sis**
* Speaking of Yuuta,*
* hurry up and give it back to me.*
**[01:16] Sis**
*You had Red sign it, right?*
**[01:19] Yuuta**
Oh, crap!
**[01:20] Yuuta**
Talk to you later, Sis.
**[01:22] Yuuta**
Good night!
**[02:55] Joshua**
* On a tiny island in the Atlantic*
* that's not on any map...*
**[03:00] Joshua**
* You'll find St. Alphonso Academy,*
* an all-boys school,*
**[03:04] Joshua**
*cut off entirely from the outside world.*
**[03:09] Joshua**
* People call the mysterious*
* students of this school...*
**[03:16] Joshua**
* the princes at the margin*
* of the world. Marginal Princes.*

**[03:33] Mikhail**
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for you.
**[03:36] Yuuta**
Mikhail.
**[03:40] Mikhail**
What is it?
**[03:42] Yuuta**
What do you mean?
**[03:48] Yuuta**
It's hurt!
**[03:50] Yuuta**
Where did you get this bird?
**[03:52] Mikhail**
I found it over there.
**[03:55] Mikhail**
But I don't know what to...
**[03:59] Mikhail**
See, I don't know what to do.
**[04:05] Sokurov**
I specialize in homo sapiens.
**[04:08] Sokurov**
This does not include bird species.
**[04:11] Sokurov**
That being said,
**[04:14] Sokurov**
this isn't a bad opportunity.
**[04:16] Sokurov**
Now! Hand it over!
**[04:19] Sokurov**
I'm going to be very gentle.
**[04:23] Yuuta**
Ahh! excuse us!
**[04:27] Sokurov**
Hey! Wait right there!
**[04:37] Yuuta**
I guess Professor Sokurov
was no good after all.
**[04:40] Mikhail**
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
**[04:44] Yuuta**
It's not your fault.
**[04:46] Yuuta**
But we have to do something.
**[04:48] Yuuta**
Otherwise, the bird will just suffer.
**[04:51] Mikhail**
How...
**[04:53] Mikhail**
Yes, how can we help it?
**[04:56] Yuuta**
I got it.
**[04:58] Yuuta**
Joshua could...
**[05:00] Yuuta**
I think Joshua could help us.
**[05:11] Joshua**
There we go.
**[05:12] Joshua**
I'll take care of the bird
until the wound closes up.
**[05:16] Yuuta**
Are you sure?
**[05:17] Joshua**
Yeah.
**[05:18] Joshua**
I like animals.
**[05:21] Mikhail**
I'm glad.
**[05:23] Mikhail**
Yeah, we're really lucky
you were here, Joshua.
**[05:29] Yuuta**
That turned out well, huh, Mikhail?
**[05:31] Mikhail**
Yeah. So you are...?
**[05:33] Yuuta**
Oh, yeah.
**[05:34] Yuuta**
I haven't introduced myself yet.
**[05:37] Yuuta**
My name is Yuuta.
**[05:39] Yuuta**
It's nice to meet you.
**[05:40] Mikhail**
I... I'm Mikhail.
**[05:42] Mikhail**
Mikhail Rurikovich Nevsky.
**[05:46] Mikhail**
It's nice to meet you.
**[05:59] Joshua**
Yes?
**[06:05] Joshua**
Can I help you?
**[06:07] Underling**
I've come to take you back, Master Joshua.
**[06:25] Mikhail**
I'm sorry about today.
**[06:26] Mikhail**
For taking your time like that.
**[06:29] Yuuta**
Is apologizing some kind of
unconscious habit of yours?
**[06:32] Yuuta**
You apologize every time we meet.
**[06:35] Mikhail**
Oh!
**[06:37] Mikhail**
Sorry.
**[06:39] Yuuta**
See? There you go again.
**[06:41] Yuuta**
Huh?
**[06:43] Yuuta**
Oh sorry!
**[06:45] Yuuta**
I didn't mean to make you
uncomfortable about it!
**[06:48] Yuuta**
Uh...
**[06:52] Mikhail**
Now you're the one apologizing.
**[06:56] Yuuta**
You're right.
**[07:01] Announcer**
*Moving on to our next topic.*
**[07:03] Announcer**
* Local media of the Loreto Dukedom,*
* a small European country,*
**[07:07] Announcer**
* report their ruler, King Cardis,*
* is in critical condition.*
**[07:10] Announcer**
*The king has not named a crown prince yet,*
**[07:12] Announcer**
* and the incumbent is Richard Coswell,*
* a distant relative of the king.*
**[07:17] Yuuta**
What are you guys doing?
**[07:18] Announcer**
*On the other hand, rumors about an orphan*
**[07:19] Yuuta**
Is the news that serious?
**[07:21] Announcer**
* the king's older brother*
* left behind are circulating,*
**[07:21] Henri**
In a way.
**[07:22] Announcer**
*who supposedly—*
**[07:26] Yuuta**
What?
**[07:27] Yuuta**
Joshua might quit the academy?!
**[07:31] Yuuta**
Why?
**[07:32] Guy**
Do you know "Love That Cost the Crown"?
**[07:35] Yuuta**
No.
**[07:36] Alfred**
It's like a modern-day
Romeo and Juliet story.
**[07:40] Alfred**
When their families would
not bless their marriage,
**[07:42] Alfred**
Joshua's father chose to be
with Joshua's mother.
**[07:46] Alfred**
He chose it over becoming
the King of Loreto.
**[07:48] Yuuta**
Wow?
**[07:49] Yuuta**
That's so romantic.
**[07:51] Yuuta**
Huh?
**[07:52] Yuuta**
Did you say, over becoming the king?
**[07:55] Yuuta**
So then that means that Joshua is...
**[07:57] Sylvain**
A prince.
**[07:59] Yuuta**
Huh?
**[08:00] Yuuta**
What?!
**[08:02] Sylvain**
You didn't know?
**[08:04] Henri**
If we go just by bloodline,
**[08:05] Henri**
Joshua is the next in line
for the throne of Loreto.
**[08:09] Yuuta**
Really?!
**[08:11] Yuuta**
What does that mean?
**[08:14] Sylvain**
That if something were
to happen to the current king,
**[08:16] Sylvain**
he could potentially become the next king.
**[08:19] Yuuta**
Joshua is so amazing!
**[08:21] Alfred**
You're so naive.
**[08:23] Yuuta**
Huh?
**[08:24] Alfred**
You really think he can lead a nation
while being at this school?
**[08:31] Yuuta**
*Oh.*
**[08:32] Yuuta**
*So that's why he may quit.*
**[08:36] Sylvain**
Actually, I saw a car with the Loreto
crest at the school's gate earlier.
**[08:41] Alfred**
Guess the time has come.
**[08:43] Henri**
La Roue de Fortune.
**[08:47] Henri**
Fate moves on its own accord,
**[08:49] Henri**
regardless of whether you like it or not.
**[08:53] Joshua**
They want me to become the King of Loreto?
**[08:56] Joshua**
Why now?!
**[08:58] Aide**
It might happen.
**[09:00] Aide**
Either way, the situation is dire.
**[09:03] Aide**
Even if he were to survive,
King Cardis's body is...
**[09:06] Joshua**
Would you...
**[09:08] Joshua**
Would you let me think about it,
just a little longer?
**[09:13] Aide**
As you wish.
**[09:15] Aide**
I'll be waiting
at the school gate tonight.
**[09:31] Joshua**
I...
**[09:39] Yuuta**
Joshua.
**[09:44] Joshua**
I'm fine.
**[09:57] Yuuta**
Joshua.
**[10:00] Yuuta**
What is Joshua going to do?
**[10:03] Yuuta**
He won't go right, to that country?
**[10:06] Yuuta**
He's not going to become king, right?
**[10:11] Yuuta**
And you're all okay with that?
**[10:13] Yuuta**
It means Joshua will be gone!
**[10:18] Yuuta**
Hey! Say something.
**[10:21] Albert**
Shut up.
**[10:22] Albert**
We can hear you just fine!
**[10:24] Albert**
We're also...
**[10:25] Haruya**
Red, what is saying that going to help?
**[10:31] Sylvain**
We've got no choice
but to grit our teeth and bear it.
**[10:35] Haruya**
We all understand that it's not a subject
that outsiders are allowed to broach.
**[10:40] Yuuta**
But even then!
**[10:42] Henri**
Shoving your emotions onto him
is nothing but selfishness.
**[10:49] Henri**
This is Joshua's issue.
**[11:04] Joshua**
This narrow little world
is what you have right now.
**[11:09] Joshua**
You can't even fly freely.
**[11:12] Yuuta**
You're lying!
**[11:15] Yuuta**
There's no way that you
all really think that.
**[11:19] Yuuta**
Haha, what are you all pretending for?
**[11:22] Yuuta**
Acting like you're so grown up.
**[11:28] Yuuta**
If that's really how you
feel about it, that's...
**[11:32] Yuuta**
That's... not how the friends
of the Outis Dorm are!
**[12:10] Butler**
Have a safe trip.
**[12:14] Yuuta**
What is up with you guys?
**[12:15] Yuuta**
Is that how you treat a friend?
**[12:19] Yuuta**
If Joshua becomes king,
he's going to go away.
**[12:40] Alfred**
Are you planning on going?
**[12:43] Alfred**
And you just want us to accept that?
**[12:46] Joshua**
Red.
**[12:50] Sylvain**
Is this truly a burden
that you have to shoulder?
**[12:56] Joshua**
Sylvain.
**[13:03] Haruya**
Are you all right with that?
**[13:06] Haruya**
You're going to stay quiet and allow them
to force a heavy responsibility onto you,
**[13:10] Haruya**
regardless of you want for yourself?
**[13:13] Joshua**
Haruya.
**[13:17] Henri**
The blood that runs through
your veins cannot be removed.
**[13:22] Henri**
No matter how unpleasant it may be.
**[13:25] Henri**
But shouldn't your the will of your blood
**[13:27] Henri**
and the will of your self be the same?
**[13:30] Joshua**
Henri...
**[13:36] Yuuta**
Please don't go!
**[13:39] Yuuta**
I don't want you to leave here!
**[13:46] Joshua**
Yuuta.
**[13:50] Joshua**
My father is the older brother
of Loreto's current ruler.
**[13:55] Joshua**
He left Loreto and married my mother.
**[13:59] Joshua**
He died when I was five years old.
**[14:03] (Flashback) KidJoshua**
Mom, why are you crying?
**[14:06] (Flashback) KidJoshua**
Why is dad sleeping in that box?
**[14:12] (Flashback) Mother**
Joshua...
**[14:15] Joshua**
Nobody from Loreto attended the funeral.
**[14:20] Joshua**
My mother then took me back
to her home, the Grant Estate.
**[14:26] Joshua**
Because nobody from Loreto came for us.
**[14:30] (Flashback) KidJoshua**
Mom.
**[14:36] Joshua**
My mother died when I was eight years old.
**[14:40] Joshua**
Because she always flew around
the world for her volunteer work,
**[14:44] Joshua**
it didn't really click when
I was told she had died.
**[14:47] Joshua**
Either way, she wasn't at home.
**[14:51] Joshua**
And still, not a word from Loreto.
**[14:57] Yuuta**
Despite all that,
you're still going to Loreto?
**[15:02] Yuuta**
You'll refuse them, right?
**[15:04] Yuuta**
You won't go to a place like that, right?
**[15:06] Yuuta**
A country that ignored you for so long.
**[15:11] Joshua**
Loreto's blood runs in my veins.
**[15:12] Song**
*The traveler bearing a cross*
**[15:14] Yuuta**
Still!
**[15:16] Joshua**
It's my duty.
**[15:20] Yuuta**
Joshua...
**[15:22] Song**
*Keeps wandering without a destination*
**[15:23] Yuuta(m)**
What are you thinking about, Joshua?
**[15:27] Yuuta(m)**
You look pained.
**[15:31] Joshua**
I'm fine.
**[15:32] Song**
*Just searching for water*
**[15:34] Yuuta**
Don't overexert yourself, Joshua.
**[15:37] Joshua**
I'm not.
**[15:37] Song**
*He keeps wandering around*
**[15:38] Yuuta**
I'm worried about you.
**[15:40] Yuuta**
You... You don't seem
like yourself right now.
**[15:44] Song**
*When I wake from my uneasy sleep*
**[15:44] Yuuta**
Please tell me what you're really feeling!
**[15:46] Yuuta**
Don't talk about duty.
What is it that you want to do?
**[15:53] Joshua**
I... I...
**[15:54] Song**
*I am all alone, just a bad dream*
**[16:13] Song**
*The rain that shatters my heart*
**[16:17] Song**
*Grows more intense and never stops*
**[16:20] Song**
*Even if I try cursing history*
**[16:23] Song**
*Of course there is no answer to be found*
**[16:26] Song**
*I wish I could spread my wings freely*
**[16:30] Song**
*And fly to where you are*
**[16:33] Song**
*Am I doomed to just bear this cross*
**[16:36] Song**
*That was hoisted onto me before I knew it*
**[16:46] Song**
* The blood is wracking my heart,*
* but light will relieve my pain*
**[16:55] Song**
*In the mirror, a figure writhing in agony*
**[16:58] Song**
*That is the captured traveler*
**[17:01] Song**
*Even now still searching for the exit*
**[17:05] Song**
*There is my body*
**[17:08] Song**
*You said that I'm not alone*
**[17:12] Song**
*The beautiful light draws an arc*
**[17:15] Song**
*You said "Yes, when the heart is set free"*
**[17:18] Song**
*And then you raised your head*
**[17:21] Song**
*The wings that I can spread freely*
**[17:25] Song**
*Must already be there inside of me*
**[17:28] Song**
*Because your eyes pierce me just like that*
**[17:31] Song**
* It makes me want to drop*
* everything and dive right in*
**[17:44] Song**
*Are you going to save me?*
**[17:50] Song**
* With your pure eyes, that*
* have not a trace of calculation*
**[18:00] Song**
* This has never happened before...*
* that I was loved like this...*
**[18:09] Song**
*Am I allowed to... believe in myself?*
**[18:23] Song**
* Believing in a faraway tomorrow,*
* I fly into the deep blue skies*
**[18:42] Song**
* Knowing that freedom is there,*
* with your love in my heart*
**[19:35] Sis**
* I'm sorry for calling and having him*
* put you on the phone.*
**[19:40] Joshua**
It's fine.
**[19:42] Joshua**
Did something happen?
**[19:44] Sis**
*Well...*
**[19:45] Sis**
* I couldn't help but remember*
* how you were last time.*
**[19:50] (Flashback) Joshua**
If only I had someone like you, too.
**[19:55] Sis**
*You sounded so incredibly lonely.*
**[19:59] Joshua**
I sounded lonely? Me?
**[20:01] Sis**
*If I'm mistaken, then I apologize!*
**[20:04] Joshua**
I don't know.
**[20:06] Joshua**
I've been alone for so long
that that's what is normal for me.
**[20:12] Sis**
*Joshua, please don't overexert yourself.*
**[20:17] Yuuta**
Don't overexert yourself, Joshua.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Joshua**
Yuuta said the same thing to me.
**[20:26] Joshua**
Do I really seem like
I'm pushing myself too much?
**[20:29] Sis**
* You don't seem like it at all.*
* That's why we worry.*
**[20:34] Yuuta**
I'm worried about you!
**[20:40] Joshua**
Are Japanese people all
like you two siblings?
**[20:43] Joshua**
Constantly worrying about people?
**[20:45] Sis**
* No, that is... Um... I think that might*
* be something that runs in our family.*
**[20:49] Sis**
*How should I say it...*
**[20:51] Joshua**
You're both very kind.
**[20:54] Sis**
*Joshua.*
**[20:56] Joshua**
I'm fine.
**[21:03] News**
*The Loreto royal family has announced*
**[21:06] News**
*that King Cardis is on the road to recovery.*
**[21:08] News**
* As word of him being in*
* critical condition circulated,*
**[21:11] News**
* this announcement brings relief*
* to the citizens of Loreto.*
**[21:15] Alfred**
So it looks like his life isn't in danger.
**[21:17] Alfred**
Happily ever after then.
**[21:20] Henri**
Thanks for causing all this commotion.
**[21:22] Sylvain**
All's well that ends well!
**[21:25] Haruya**
And Joshua is staying here, too.
**[21:27] Sylvain**
That's right!
**[21:31] Joshua**
All right.
**[21:32] Joshua**
Time for you to return to the sky.
**[21:36] Mikhail**
Take care!
**[21:40] Joshua**
*Wings I can spread freely...*
**[21:44] Joshua**
*Do I have such things?*
