[00:00] (Flashback) Rufus
    Catarina Claes.
[00:02] (Flashback) Rufus
    I need you to disappear along
    with Prince Geordo.
[00:05] FearlessC
    What does that mean?!
[00:07] FearlessC
    Just who is that butler, anyway?!
[00:09] ChairmanC
    I can't fathom why he suddenly
    put Selena to sleep, either.
[00:12] HappyC
    It's almost like dark magic!
[00:15] StudiousC
    You're right!
[00:16] ---
    It's just like when Catarina
    was put to sleep in the past!
[00:18] FearlessC
    Does that mean Rufus has dark magic?!
[00:21] SpinelessC
    So... is it possible he's killed people, too?
[00:27] Catarina
    There's no way I can get to sleep.

    I Had a Friendly Tea Time With an Attractive Butler...
[02:05] Rufus
    Unbelievable.
[02:07] Rufus
    Does she have nerves of steel or what?
[02:10] Catarina
    Rufus?
[02:12] Rufus
    Do you not think it's
    time you woke up already?
[02:14] Rufus
    It's past noon.
[02:16] Catarina
    What?! Past noon already?!
[02:18] Rufus
    That's the part you react to?
[02:20] Catarina
    I'm shocked at myself...
[02:23] Catarina
    I can't believe my enemy
    had to wake me up!
[02:25] Rufus
    Trust me, I am far more shocked.
[02:29] Catarina
    There's a lot I want to ask you,
[02:31] Catarina
    but first, is Selena all right?
[02:37] Rufus
    You surpass the rumors I've heard about you.
[02:40] Rufus
    Lady Selena is just fine.
[02:42] Rufus
    She's in her room right now.
[02:44] Catarina
    Oh...
[02:46] Catarina
    Rufus, do you have dark magic?
[02:50] Rufus
    That's rather direct.
[02:53] Catarina
    I couldn't think of a way
    to ask you indirectly.
[02:55] Rufus
    You truly are an unusual person.
[02:58] Rufus
    And you even know about dark magic.
[03:01] Rufus
    You were involved in that
    incident last year, weren't you?
[03:05] Rufus
    Are you surprised?
[03:07] Rufus
    The existence of dark magic
    was being kept hidden,
[03:10] Rufus
    but there was no way that
    could remain a secret forever.
[03:13] Rufus
    Especially to nobles who are close
    to the family of Marquis Dieke,
[03:16] Rufus
    who engaged in some questionable
    dealings with them.
[03:20] Rufus
    And then he discovered dark magic.
[03:23] Catarina
    "He"?
[03:24] Rufus
    I refer to my master.
[03:26] Rufus
    I obtained dark magic under his orders,
[03:29] Rufus
    and that is why I've come here.
[03:33] Catarina
    To do what?
[03:34] Rufus
    Did I not tell you?
[03:36] Rufus
    To make Lady Selena assume all
    responsibility for this kidnapping,
[03:41] Rufus
    and to remove both her and Prince Ian
    from the race for the throne...
[03:46] Rufus
    along with you and Prince Geordo.
[03:49] Catarina
    Wh-Why?
[03:51] Rufus
    Because my master wants Prince Jeffrey,
    the first prince, to be king.
[03:57] Rufus
    And I will do whatever it
    takes to help my master.
[04:01] Catarina
    To make Jeffrey king...
[04:03] Catarina
    And Ian and Geordo are in the way of that?
[04:09] Catarina
    Wait, what about Alan?
[04:11] Alan
    Why am I the only one left off the list?
[04:13] Catarina
    No, Alan's time is yet to come!
[04:15] Catarina
    He's still growing. That's all!
[04:17] Rufus
    Even you must be feeling scared now, right?
[04:21] Rufus
    Well, enough of this little chat.
[04:24] Rufus
    I will leave your breakfast here.
    Please enjoy.
[04:27] Rufus
    If you need anything, you can ring this bell.
[04:36] Catarina
    This isn't very much...
[04:40] Catarina
    Wh-What is this?! It's delicious!
[04:48] Rufus
    Oh, dear. Have you finally
    begun to feel discouraged?
[04:52] Catarina
    No, I'd like some more food.
    This wasn't nearly enough.
[04:56] Catarina
    Some sweets and tea would be great!
[05:01] Rufus
    Unbelievable. You really
    do have nerves of steel.
[05:05] Rufus
    Are you really the daughter of a noble?
[05:07] Catarina
    Maybe he actually is a pretty nice guy.
[05:10] Rufus
    Here, it's ready. Enjoy.
[05:12] Catarina
    Thanks!
[05:13] Catarina
    Hey, you should join me.
[05:16] Rufus
    I really can't believe you...
[05:18] Rufus
    Oh, forget it.
[05:20] Rufus
    No point in continuing to be
    surprised by every little thing.
[05:23] Catarina
    Did the way you speak to me just change?
[05:25] Rufus
    Yeah.
[05:27] ---
    It felt dumb putting on an
    act for someone like you.
[05:31] Rufus
    If it displeases the lady,
    I shall speak in this manner again.
[05:34] Catarina
    No, this way is fine.
[05:36] Rufus
    Thought so.
[05:37] Catarina
    If it was an act, does that mean
    you're not really a butler?
[05:41] Rufus
    Do I look like a butler to you right now?
[05:43] Catarina
    No.
[05:44] ---
    You just look like the type
    of young guy I'd see downtown.
[05:48] Rufus
    Wow, you're exactly right.
[05:50] Rufus
    I'm impressed.
[05:52] Rufus
    Also, you're a noble, but you go downtown?
[05:55] Catarina
    Sometimes, in secret.
[05:57] Catarina
    You live around there?
[05:59] Rufus
    No, you're just mostly right.
[06:01] Rufus
    I was born in the slums,
[06:03] Rufus
    and I'm not from this country.
[06:05] Catarina
    What? You're not?
[06:07] Rufus
    I was taken by slave
    traders when I was a kid,
[06:10] Rufus
    and eventually, my current master bought me.
[06:16] Rufus
    Surprised?
[06:17] Rufus
    It might be tough to believe for a
    noble who was raised with utmost care,
[06:22] Rufus
    but it happens all the time
    in the poorer countries.
[06:25] Rufus
    I'm actually one of the lucky ones.
[06:28] Rufus
    I'm alive, I'm healthy, and I even
    get to wear nice clothes like these.
[06:32] Rufus
    I'm incredibly fortunate.
[06:37] Rufus
    I bet even you're freaked out now, huh?
[06:39] Rufus
    Or do you think I'm pitiful
    and feel sorry for me?
[06:42] Rufus
    Sorry, but I don't need any of that.
[06:45] Rufus
    I don't consider myself
    unfortunate at all, anyway.
[06:50] Catarina
    That's so admirable...
[06:52] Rufus
    Huh?
[06:54] Catarina
    I really admire you!
[06:57] Rufus
    Uh, where's this coming from?
[06:59] Rufus
    I know I'm relatively good-looking, but...
[07:03] Catarina
    No, I'm not talking about your looks.
[07:05] Catarina
    I'm talking about on the inside!
    The way you think!
[07:08] Rufus
    What does that mean? I don't get it.
[07:10] Catarina
    That optimistic mindset
    you have is so admirable!
[07:19] Catarina
    Huh? Was that too rude?
[07:33] Rufus
    You're a fascinating person, you know that?
[07:36] Catarina
    Uh-huh...
[07:37] Rufus
    Okay, let's talk some more.
[07:39] Rufus
    I want to talk with you more now.
[07:42] Catarina
    Okay...
[08:00] Catarina
    Hey, Rufus...
[08:02] Catarina
    When you got your dark magic... uh...
[08:05] Rufus
    Oh, the sacrifice thing?
[08:08] Rufus
    My master put me to sleep with a drug.
[08:11] Rufus
    When I woke up, I could use dark magic.
[08:14] Rufus
    He didn't even give me a choice.
[08:17] Catarina
    So if you're not really a butler,
    is "Rufus" a fake name, too?
[08:21] Rufus
    Yeah, of course.
[08:22] Catarina
    What's your real name, then?
[08:24] Rufus
    I have all kinds of names.
[08:27] Rufus
    I've used a different one everywhere I went.
[08:29] Rufus
    I don't have parents,
[08:31] Rufus
    so as far back as I can remember, I was
    scrounging through garbage in the slums.
[08:36] Catarina
    Wow... Up close like this,
    he looks super attractive...
[08:40] Catarina
    He even has the mole under his eye
    that sexy characters always have!
[08:44] Rufus
    Hey, why'd you freeze up?
[08:47] Catarina
    So beautiful...
[08:48] Rufus
    Huh?
[08:49] Catarina
    Your eyes. They're beautiful.
[08:52] Catarina
    They're the color of a clear sky.
[08:56] Rufus
    You're...
[09:24] Rufus
    I guess I should have dinner brought in, huh?
[09:48] Rufus
    As far back as I can remember,
[09:50] Rufus
    I lived with my buddies in the slums.
[09:53] Rufus
    We stole things and tricked people to get
    by like it was the natural thing to do.
[09:57] Rufus
    The big turning point in my life
    was when he showed up on my turf.
[10:09] Rufus
    This guy who'd come from the outside world
[10:11] Rufus
    taught me how to read and write,
    do math, and lots of other stuff.
[10:23] (Flashback) Edwards
    By the way, what's your name?
[10:25] (Flashback) Sora
    I don't have one. I don't even
    know what my parents looked like.
[10:29] (Flashback) Edwards
    Really?
[10:30] (Flashback) Edwards
    Then from now on, your name is Sora.
[10:34] (Flashback) Sora
    Sora?
[10:35] (Flashback) Edwards
    Yeah.
[10:36] (Flashback) Edwards
    Because your eyes are as
    beautiful as the blue sky.
[10:40] (Flashback) Sora
    Sora, huh?
[10:42] (Flashback) Sora
    Well, it's not bad, I guess.
[10:45] (Flashback) Sora
    Hey!
[10:46] (Flashback) Sora
    What're you doing?! Cut it out!
[10:50] (Flashback) Sora
    What the heck...
[10:57] (Flashback) Sora
    Hey, tell me about the outside world.
[11:00] (Flashback) Edwards
    This is unusual.
[11:01] (Flashback) Sora
    Huh?
[11:02] (Flashback) Edwards
    Most people around here don't like
    it when I talk about the outside.
[11:07] (Flashback) Sora
    Why?
[11:09] (Flashback) Edwards
    Probably because it makes them
    more aware of their own situation.
[11:13] (Flashback) Edwards
    You all try your hardest just
    to live through the day,
[11:15] (Flashback) Edwards
    so hearing about kids on the outside
    who are cared for by their parents
[11:19] (Flashback) Edwards
    must be really painful.
[11:22] (Flashback) Edwards
    Do you feel discontent
    with the life you have?
[11:24] (Flashback) Sora
    Nope.
[11:25] (Flashback) Sora
    Like hell I don't!
[11:27] (Flashback) Sora
    I want to sleep in a warm futon at night
[11:29] (Flashback) Sora
    and eat my fill of good food, too!
[11:31] (Flashback) Sora
    But I don't think I'm
    unfortunate or anything.
[11:34] (Flashback) Sora
    I'm alive and well every day,
[11:37] (Flashback) Sora
    and I get to listen to
    all of your cool stories.
[11:40] (Flashback) Sora
    That's enough for me.
[11:44] (Flashback) Edwards
    The way you think is so admirable.
[11:47] (Flashback) Sora
    Wh-Where the heck did that come from?
[11:51] (Flashback) Edwards
    Sora, I want you to think that
    way for the rest of your life.
[11:55] (Flashback) Edwards
    Keep facing forward, and don't
    be swayed by what others say.
[12:00] Rufus
    It wasn't long after that
[12:03] Rufus
    when he fell ill.
[12:13] Rufus
    The only way to cure him was
    with expensive medicine...
[12:17] Rufus
    The kind of medicine that we slum folk
    could never afford in our entire lives.
[13:06] (Flashback) Guard 1
    Where'd he go?!
[13:07] (Flashback) Guard 2
    That way!
[13:14] (Flashback) Sora
    L-Let me go!
[13:15] (Flashback) Sora
    Please! He's... He's waiting for me!
[13:20] (Flashback) Sora
    Let me go!
[13:28] Rufus
    Never thought I'd meet someone
    who'd say the same thing he did.
[13:34] Catarina
    Your stories of other countries
    are so interesting!
[13:37] Rufus
    Your stories are pretty interesting, too.
[13:40] Catarina
    Thanks!
[13:41] Catarina
    I've never left this country,
    so I'd love to visit others.
[13:47] Rufus
    I'm starting to think I wouldn't mind
    visiting other countries again if it was with you.
[13:51] Catarina
    Really?! Then take me with you next time!
[13:55] Rufus
    You and I come from different worlds.
[13:58] Rufus
    There's no way we could go together.
[14:00] Catarina
    Different worlds?
[14:02] Catarina
    What do you mean?
[14:03] ---
    You're right here in front of me, aren't you?
[14:06] Catarina
    We're talking and eating dinner together.
[14:09] Catarina
    We're in the same world.
[14:12] Rufus
    Okay, I get it.
[14:14] Rufus
    I'll take you with me next time.
[14:15] Catarina
    Yay! I've got a travel buddy!
[14:18] Catarina
    Let's make a promise, then! Pinky swear!
[14:20] Rufus
    Pinky swear?
[14:21] Catarina
    Oh, right. They don't
    have that in this world.
[14:24] Catarina
    So... how do they make promises here?
[14:27] Catarina
    That's it!
[14:30] Rufus
    What's this?
[14:31] Catarina
    It's a beautiful color, isn't it?
[14:34] Catarina
    It's the same color as your eyes.
[14:36] Catarina
    The color of the blue sky.
[14:39] Catarina
    And when you hold it up
    to the light like this,
[14:41] Catarina
    it looks like the color of my eyes!
[14:44] Catarina
    It's perfect for a promise
    between you and me, isn't it?
[14:50] Catarina
    Eh? What? What are you doing?
[15:04] Rufus
    For some reason, my chest
    feels warm when I'm with you.
[15:08] Rufus
    It's been such a long time
    since I felt this way.
[15:11] Rufus
    So... why don't you become mine?
[15:14] Rufus
    When you look at me with those shining eyes,
[15:17] Rufus
    you can't complain about
    whatever I do to you.
[15:19] Catarina
    Wh-Wh-What is going on right now?!
[15:22] Catarina
    Wait, is he trying to put me
    to sleep with dark magic?!
[15:25] Catarina
    Um, wait... Rufus...
[15:28] Catarina
    Huh?
[15:30] Lana
    Master Rufus! Are you in there?!
[15:33] Rufus
    Tch... I'm busy right at the moment.
[15:35] Lana
    It's an urgent matter!
[15:37] Rufus
    Just when it was getting good...
[15:41] Lana
    You've received an urgent letter.
[15:44] Lana
    I believe it would be in your best
    interest to read it immediately.
[15:49] Rufus
    Are you...
[15:51] Rufus
    Oh, well. Guess it was inevitable.
[15:54] Lana
    Lady Catarina, are you all right?!
[15:56] Catarina
    I'm fine.
[15:57] ---
    I think he was about to
    cast magic on me, though.
[16:00] Lana
    What? Magic? That's what it was?
[16:05] Rufus
    So the investigation has
    reached Mason's mansion?
[16:08] Rufus
    Well, he's done for.
[16:10] Rufus
    So what should I do now?
[16:20] Rufus
    Catarina. Catarina.
[16:22] Catarina
    Huh?
[16:26] Rufus
    You really are a deep sleeper.
[16:28] Catarina
    Wh-What do you want?
[16:30] Rufus
    I figured you'd be wary of me now.
[16:33] Rufus
    I won't do anything to you again.
[16:35] Rufus
    Looks like it's all coming
    to an end now, after all.
[16:37] Catarina
    Coming to an end?
[16:38] Rufus
    Yeah.
[16:40] ---
    As much as I would've liked fleeing
    to another country with you,
[16:43] Rufus
    it just wouldn't be possible,
    so I dropped the idea.
[16:46] Rufus
    And this magic is probably going
    to cause a lot of problems,
[16:50] Rufus
    so I thought I should just behave
    for now and let them take me in.
[16:53] Rufus
    Of course, that means I won't
    be able to see you for a while,
[16:56] Rufus
    so I came to see your face one last time.
[17:00] Catarina
    What do you mean, "last"?
[17:03] Rufus
    Oh, that was quicker than I expected.
[17:05] Both
    Lady Catarina!
[17:06] Maria
    Are you all right?!
[17:07] Catarina
    Huh? Why...
[17:09] Catarina
    are all of you here?
[17:14] Catarina
    Lana?
[17:15] Lana
    Yes, that's the name I was going by before,
[17:18] Lana
    but please allow me to
    properly introduce myself.
[17:21] Lana
    I'm Larna Smith of the Department of Magic.
[17:23] Lana
    Nice to meet you.
[17:25] Catarina
    what?!
[17:26] Lana
    Since you're still here, I assume
    you've resigned yourself to your fate.
[17:31] Rufus
    Yes, I'll go with you
    and tell you everything.
[17:35] Lana
    That's a good attitude.
[17:37] Lana
    Take him.
[17:42] Catarina
    H-Hey!
[17:52] Rufus
    I'll hold on to our promise.
[17:56] Catarina
    Okay!
[17:59] Catarina
    Thanks, everyone.
[18:01] Catarina
    Sorry I worried you.
[18:03] Catarina
    And, um, Miss Larna...
    Thank you for saving me.
[18:06] Lana
    No, I've wanted to have a chat
    with you for a long time,
[18:11] Lana
    so I enjoyed every moment of it.
[18:12] Catarina
    Huh? Every moment?
[18:14] Raphael
    This is the superior I told you
    about at the school festival.
[18:17] Catarina
    Um... Does this mean we've
    met at some point before?
[18:21] Lana
    Yes, this is the first time
    you've seen this identity,
[18:24] Lana
    so it makes sense that
    you don't recognize me.
[18:25] Catarina
    This identity?
[18:27] Raphael
    She's a master of disguise,
    so she has many identities.
[18:31] Catarina
    Um... and which identity
    was it that I met before?
[18:40] Lana
    You really are adorable.
[18:42] Lana
    I said I'd hug you the next
    time we met, remember?
[18:44] Catarina
    Eh? Uh...
[18:47] Geordo
    That's enough! Give Catarina back already!
[18:50] Lana
    What a short-tempered prince you are.
[18:52] Catarina
    I almost forgot! Is Lady Selena safe?!
[18:54] Lana
    No need to worry.
[18:57] Ian
    Selena! Selena!
[19:02] Selena
    Prince Ian?
[19:05] Ian
    Selena... Thank goodness.
[19:07] Ian
    They told me everything.
[19:09] Ian
    Sorry you went through that for me.
[19:11] Selena
    N-No, it was my own choice to do it.
[19:15] Selena
    I'm truly sorry I did all this without
    thinking and caused trouble for you.
[19:19] Ian
    You couldn't help it.
    You were being controlled.
[19:22] Ian
    Don't worry.
[19:24] Ian
    More importantly... I'm so glad you're safe.
[19:31] (Flashback) Catarina
    You need to find out from him personally!
[19:35] Selena
    U-Um... Prince Ian, you don't hate me?
[19:41] Ian
    What are you talking about? Of course not.
[19:44] Selena
    Um... But you don't come to see me often,
[19:47] Selena
    and when we do meet,
    you're quite short with me.
[19:51] Ian
    Oh... That's because, uh...
[19:56] Ian
    You're just so cute, I have
    trouble controlling myself.
[20:01] Ian
    We're still just engaged.
    We're not married yet.
[20:05] Ian
    So it's not a good idea for us
    to cling to each other too much.
[20:08] Ian
    I realize that, but when
    I look at you, I just...
[20:12] Ian
    can't help wanting to touch you
    because you're so charming.
[20:16] Ian
    So I've been trying to stay
    as far away as possible.
[20:20] Ian
    But if that gave you the
    wrong idea, I'm sorry.
[20:24] Ian
    Allow me to state it clearly, right now.
[20:26] Ian
    I, Ian Stuart, am in love with Selena Berg.
[20:35] Ian
    U-Uh...
[20:39] Catarina
    So Prince Ian's here, too?
[20:41] Lana
    Yeah.
[20:42] ---
    When he heard the story,
    he turned pale and rushed here.
[20:46] Lana
    He seemed to be deeply
    worried about Lady Selena.
[20:49] Catarina
    I see! That's great!
[20:51] Geordo
    But I'm so glad nothing
    happened to you, Catarina.
[20:54] Keith
    Try to be more careful from now on, will you?
[20:57] Alan
    For real.
[20:58] Nicol
    Be careful.
[20:59] Catarina
    Understood.
[21:00] Geordo
    That aside, Catarina...
[21:02] Geordo
    Why does your skin seem so oddly radiant
    despite having been kidnapped?
[21:06] Catarina
    D-Does it?
[21:08] Catarina
    I can't tell him I had a more
    comfortable life here than at home...
[21:12] Geordo
    What happened there?
[21:13] Catarina
    Huh?
[21:14] Geordo
    That mark on your neck.
[21:16] Catarina
    Oh... I think a bug bit me.
[21:18] Geordo
    A bug?
[21:20] Catarina
    Yeah. When Rufus pushed me down onto the bed.
[21:23] All
    He pushed you down onto the bed?!
[21:26] Geordo
    What's the meaning of this?!
[21:27] Catarina
    Um, he suddenly pushed me down
    onto the bed last night...
[21:31] Catarina
    I think that's when a bug got in and bit me.
[21:33] Catarina
    I'm pretty sure Rufus was trying
    to put me to sleep with magic...
[21:38] Keith
    A bug again...
[21:40] Geordo
    I was trying to take it
    slow to match your pace...
[21:43] Geordo
    At this rate, you might be taken
    away from me before I even know it.
[21:47] Geordo
    I'm done waiting.
[21:50] Geordo
    I couldn't bear it if someone
    else took you from me.
