[00:18] (Flashback) Franken
    U-Um, it's a pleasure to meet you.
[00:21] (Flashback) Franken
    I'm the new servant starting here today...
[00:24] (Flashback) Franken
    Did, uh, the master of
    the house forget to tell you?
[00:28] (Flashback) Raizel
    I am the master of this house.
[00:31] (Flashback) Raizel
    No one resides in this mansion but myself.
[00:40] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Forgive us for visiting without any notice.
[00:42] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Per the lord's order,
    I have come to collect this man.
[00:47] (Flashback) Gejutel
    He has caused us much trouble,
[00:51] (Flashback) Gejutel
    and thus the lord wishes to meet him.
[01:01] (Flashback) Raizel
    He belongs to me.
[01:13] (Flashback) Franken
    What?
[01:16] (Flashback) Raizel
    He works in this mansion.
[01:18] (Flashback) Raizel
    I will not allow him to be taken from me.
[01:21] (Flashback) Raizel
    Tell the lord that.
[01:26] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Very well. We will return
    once we have done so.
[01:32] Franken
    They left...
[01:34] Franken
    He can just send clan leaders away?
[01:37] Franken
    Just who is this man?
SIGN    5 Years Later
SIGN    Blood Pact
[02:00] (Flashback) Franken
    Stand still, you—
[02:04] (Flashback) Franken
    Damn it!
[02:11] (Flashback) Ragar
    Is that all?
[02:35] (Flashback) Ragar
    We'll stop here for today.
[02:37] (Flashback) Ragar
    If we continue any longer,
    that power will only toy with you.
[02:41] (Flashback) Franken
    You're really asking for it...
[02:47] (Flashback) Franken
    One more time.
[02:53] (Flashback) Gejutel
    It has already been five years
    since Frankenstein's arrival.
[02:57] (Flashback) Gejutel
    I have not changed my mind.
[03:00] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Allowing him to remain here is dangerous.
[03:06] (Flashback) Gejutel
    There are many among the nobles
    who think unfavorably of you
[03:10] (Flashback) Gejutel
    for sheltering a human
     who killed our brethren.
[03:13] (Flashback) Raizel
    Gejutel.
[03:14] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Yes?
[03:16] (Flashback) Raizel
    I apologize for worrying you.
[03:18] (Flashback) Raizel
    I understand why all of you
    are so concerned.
[03:22] (Flashback) Raizel
    I will be careful.
[03:25] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Please, at least persuade him to accept
    the lord's request for an audience.
[03:31] (Flashback) Gejutel
    If he demonstrates obedience
    toward nobility,
[03:34] (Flashback) Gejutel
    perhaps the sparks can be
    extinguished before a fire breaks out.
[03:44] (Flashback) Franken
    The tea is ready.
[03:47] (Flashback) Raizel
    Good.
[03:49] (Flashback) Franken
    Have you spent the entire day
    staring outside again?
[03:54] (Flashback) Franken
    I have never once seen you
    leave this mansion.
[03:59] (Flashback) Raizel
    I leave, at times.
[04:02] (Flashback) Raizel
    Before you came here, I was summoned
    by the lord to visit the castle.
[04:08] (Flashback) Franken
    Was that...
[04:09] (Flashback) Franken
    your most recent excursion?
[04:11] (Flashback) Raizel
    Yes.
[04:12] (Flashback) Franken
    I had no idea...
[04:14] (Flashback) Franken
    You've been living like this
    since before I arrived?
[04:18] (Flashback) Raizel
    Yes.
[04:22] (Flashback) Franken
    Is there some reason
    why you don't go outside?
[04:25] (Flashback) Raizel
    No.
[04:27] (Flashback) Franken
    What is it you're always looking at, then?
[04:31] (Flashback) Raizel
    The sky.
[04:33] (Flashback) Raizel
    The forest. The earth.
[04:36] (Flashback) Raizel
    Everything visible from this window.
[04:40] (Flashback) Raizel
    This is all I need.
[04:44] Franken
    All he needs?
[04:46] Franken
    He's lived alone in this huge
    mansion all these years,
[04:51] Franken
    and there's nothing more that he wants?
[04:55] Franken
    That's just too...
[04:57] (Flashback) Raizel
    However...
[05:02] (Flashback) Raizel
    I do like the tea that you make.
[05:09] (Flashback) Franken
    Is that so?
[05:16] (Flashback) Guy
    Is that the...
[05:17] (Flashback) Lady
    Disgusting.
[05:18] (Flashback) Guy
    What is he doing in this castle?
[05:32] (Flashback) PrevLord
    For goodness' sake...
[05:33] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I've been waiting so eagerly, wondering
    when you would finally come.
[05:40] (Flashback) Franken
    I'm sorry.
[05:42] (Flashback) PrevLord
    How do you like living here?
[05:44] (Flashback) Franken
    I suppose it's not bad.
[05:47] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I'm glad to hear that.
[05:49] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I was quite shocked when I heard
    that he had hired a butler.
[05:57] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Do you wonder how Raizel
    and myself are related?
[06:01] (Flashback) PrevLord
    The two of us are a pair.
[06:04] (Flashback) PrevLord
    We are like a father and son,
[06:06] (Flashback) PrevLord
    and like two brothers, as well.
[06:09] (Flashback) Franken
    Your relationship seems awfully
     lacking to be described as such.
[06:13] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Yes, you're right.
[06:15] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I love that boy so much, but he
    doesn't even seem to like me.
[06:21] (Flashback) PrevLord
    To be honest, that's why I envy you a bit.
[06:26] (Flashback) PrevLord
    You have not formed a pact with Raizel yet?
[06:29] (Flashback) Franken
    Uh...
[06:30] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Really? You should just get it over with.
[06:33] (Flashback) PrevLord
    If you have a blood pact with him,
[06:35] (Flashback) PrevLord
    you'll be able to live a much longer life.
[06:38] (Flashback) Franken
    It's not something I can do so easily.
[06:40] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Do you have misgivings about
    having him as your master?
[06:44] (Flashback) Franken
    No...
[06:45] (Flashback) Franken
    But I do have my pride as a human.
[06:49] (Flashback) Franken
    And the idea of serving
    a noble for eternity...
[06:52] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Then why have you stayed
    with him all these years?
[06:57] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I'm sure you're well aware
    of how lonely he is.
[07:01] (Flashback) PrevLord
    And he has chosen those
    circumstances for himself.
[07:04] (Flashback) PrevLord
    At times, he betrays his fellow nobles,
[07:07] (Flashback) PrevLord
    exposes their secrets,
    and forces them into servitude.
[07:11] (Flashback) PrevLord
    We have a duty to protect the race,
    the very concept, of nobility.
[07:17] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Without him, the lord is powerless...
[07:20] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Nothing but an ornamental figurehead
    to decorate this throne.
[07:27] (Flashback) Franken
    Your duty...
[07:29] (Flashback) Franken
    Living that kind of life
    for no other reason than that?
[07:36] (Flashback) Franken
    What an absolute joke.
[07:39] (Flashback) Franken
    Might I suggest you use
    your authority as lord
[07:42] (Flashback) Franken
    to abolish that worthless system?
[07:54] (Flashback) PrevLord
    How much easier life would be if I could...
[07:56] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Nobles and humans are the same.
[07:58] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Those who live long lives just for fun
    can't change how they think so easily.
[08:05] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Frankenstein, you are quite interesting.
[08:09] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I will entrust him to your care from now on.
[08:16] (Flashback) Noble
    Lord! Why won't you get rid of him?!
[08:20] (Flashback) PrevLord
    It would seem that you all hate him.
[08:23] (Flashback) Noble
    Then—
[08:25] (Flashback) PrevLord
    However, I believe he and Raizel
    should form a blood pact.
[08:33] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Lord...
[08:34] (Flashback) Urokai
    This is reckless!
[08:37] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Urokai?
[08:38] (Flashback) Urokai
    Lord, it's dangerous to let someone
    like him stay with Raizel-sama!
[08:42] (Flashback) Urokai
    Who knows what he'll do?!
[08:46] (Flashback) Gejutel
    If they do that, even those who view
    Raizel-sama as a god now
[08:51] (Flashback) Gejutel
    would regard him as an enemy.
[08:56] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Still, I can't help wishing
    for his happiness.
[09:02] PrevLord
    But only if it's what they
    both want, of course.
[09:23] (Flashback) Franken
    Gejutel.
[09:25] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Frankenstein.
[09:27] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Did the lord summon you here again?
[09:29] (Flashback) Franken
    He seems to think I'm his carrier pigeon.
[09:34] (Flashback) Franken
    He keeps forcing me to deliver
    messages that get no response.
[09:38] (Flashback) Franken
    That aside, would you mind sparring with me?
[09:41] (Flashback) Franken
    I can't find Ragar.
[09:44] (Flashback) Gejutel
    I refuse.
[09:45] (Flashback) Franken
    Boring old geezer.
[09:47] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Wait.
[09:49] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Do not cause any trouble for Raizel-sama.
[09:54] (Flashback) Gejutel
    You must understand that he is
     risking his life to shelter you.
[09:58] (Flashback) Franken
    His life?
[10:00] (Flashback) Urokai
    Well, well...
[10:03] (Flashback) Urokai
    If it isn't the human
    I've heard so much about.
[10:06] (Flashback) Urokai
    I hear you're looking
    for a sparring partner?
[10:09] (Flashback) Urokai
    Please, allow me the honor.
[10:11] (Flashback) Gejutel
    What foolishness is this?
[10:13] (Flashback) Urokai
    You use some sort of
     strange power, don't you?
[10:16] (Flashback) Urokai
    I'd love to see what kinds of tricks
    a dog like you could do
[10:20] (Flashback) Urokai
    that convinced a man like
    Raizel-sama to keep you.
[10:25] (Flashback) Franken
    Very well.
[10:27] (Flashback) Franken
    Might be fun to fight someone who's
    clearly hostile toward me every now and then.
[10:53] (Flashback) Urokai
    What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
[10:57] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Damn that Urokai... That's what
    he calls going easy on him?
[11:06] (Flashback) Urokai
    You're even less than a dog.
[11:08] (Flashback) Urokai
    Come on, fight me with all you have.
[11:10] (Flashback) Urokai
    Show me the power you used
    to kill so many of our brethren.
[11:19] (Flashback) Franken
    Resonate...
[11:22] (Flashback) Franken
    Dark Spear!
[11:29] (Flashback) Urokai
    Oh?
[11:32] (Flashback) Urokai
    So that's the weapon I've heard about?
[11:36] (Flashback) Urokai
    Hmph. And in the hands of a filthy human!
[11:49] (Flashback) Ragar
    He's holding back quite a bit.
[11:52] (Flashback) Gejutel
    What?
[11:53] (Flashback) Ragar
    He doesn't have complete control
    over the Dark Spear yet.
[11:57] (Flashback) Ragar
    He's restraining his power to
     prevent it from going berserk.
[12:02] (Flashback) Urokai
    You think this is enough power
    to put you on even footing with us?!
[12:06] (Flashback) Urokai
    You and Raizel-sama in a blood pact?
[12:09] (Flashback) Urokai
    Don't make me laugh!
[12:13] (Flashback) Franken
    So that's it, huh?
[12:15] (Flashback) Franken
    I couldn't care less what
     your aspirations are,
[12:19] (Flashback) Franken
    but if he won't give you the time of day,
[12:22] (Flashback) Franken
    there's no need for you to take it out on me!
[12:25] (Flashback) Urokai
    Shut up!
[12:34] (Flashback) Urokai
    Even we aren't permitted near him!
[12:40] (Flashback) Urokai
    So why is a mere human by his side?!
[12:42] (Flashback) Urokai
    He doesn't need you!
[12:44] (Flashback) Urokai
    Raizel-sama lives only to
     carry out his sublime duty!
[12:48] (Flashback) Urokai
    Him and him alone!
[12:54] (Flashback) Franken
    And just what do you know?
[12:59] (Flashback) Franken
    What do you know about him?!
[13:07] (Flashback) Gejutel
    It's gone berserk?!
[13:08] (Flashback) Ragar
    He's in trouble! He'll swallow
    himself up at this rate!
[13:13] (Flashback) Urokai
    You bastard!
[13:14] (Flashback) Franken
    Unbelievable...
[13:16] (Flashback) Franken
    This is the "nobility" that
    he has protected for so long?
[13:21] (Flashback) Franken
    He spent all that time alone...
    for the likes of you?!
[13:26] (Flashback) Franken
    He might be fine with that, but I...
[13:58] (Flashback) Urokai
    Bastard...
[13:59] (Flashback) Urokai
    How dare you... How dare you?!
[14:04] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Not good!
[14:06] (Flashback) Ragar
    That's enough, Urokai. You can't win.
[14:10] (Flashback) Urokai
    What?! I can still fight!
[14:11] (Flashback) Urokai
    If I can kill him, I don't care if I die!
[14:13] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Be calm!
[14:15] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Even if you give your life,
    you can't beat him now!
[14:46] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Goodness gracious.
[14:48] (Flashback) PrevLord
    I never thought this would be
    how I'd finally see you again.
[14:57] (Flashback) PrevLord
    What on earth do we do about this?
[15:00] (Flashback) Urokai
    Raizel-sama...
[15:02] (Flashback) Urokai
    Please pass judgment on him!
[15:04] (Flashback) Urokai
    Please!
[15:09] (Flashback) Gejutel
    Raizel-sama!
[16:29] Raizel
    Frankenstein.
[16:32] Raizel
    Open your eyes.
[16:37] (Flashback) Franken
    Raizel-sama...
[16:50] (Flashback) PrevLord
    Cadis Etrama Di Raizel.
[16:55] (Flashback) PrevLord
    So that is your decision?
[17:34] (Flashback) Franken
    Raizel-sama...
[17:38] (Flashback) Raizel
    You've awakened?
[17:40] (Flashback) Franken
    I—
[17:41] (Flashback) Raizel
    You are to appear
    at the castle one day soon.
[17:45] (Flashback) Raizel
    This time, I will accompany you.
[17:48] (Flashback) Raizel
    I believe both you and I have
    earned the resentment of many.
[17:52] (Flashback) Franken
    That's nothing new to me.
[17:55] (Flashback) Raizel
    Is staying here painful for you?
[17:59] (Flashback) Franken
    Is there any point in asking that now?
[18:04] (Flashback) Raizel
    I would like some tea.
[18:07] (Flashback) Franken
    Of course. One moment.
[18:22] Franken
    Raizel-sama used some
    kind of immense power.
[18:26] Franken
    At the cost of his own health...
[18:30] Franken
    But why do such a thing for me?
[19:04] (Flashback) Raizel
    Frankenstein.
[19:06] (Flashback) Franken
    Yes?
[19:07] (Flashback) Raizel
    You and I are now joined by blood.
[19:11] (Flashback) Raizel
    You agree to this exchange
    between our souls?
[19:18] (Flashback) Franken
    Yes, Master.
[19:20] Franken
    A blood pact is formed when a noble
    assumes control of a human's blood,
[19:26] Franken
    but there is one other, crucial factor.
[19:29] Franken
    Each party must have the will
    to both offer and accept the pact.
[19:34] Franken
    Master, I accept you.
[19:38] Franken
    I will stay by your side forever.
[19:47] Gejutel
    To this day, I wish I had stopped you
    from forming that pact.
[19:53] Franken
    Then you think staying alone in that
     mansion for the rest of his life
[19:57] Franken
    would have been best for him?
[20:03] Gejutel
    Regardless, I have no choice but to report
    this information about Raizel-sama.
[20:07] Gejutel
    It would be in his best interest
    to return with me.
[20:12] Franken
    You heard the master's wishes, did you not?
[20:14] Gejutel
    If his innocence can be proven,
[20:16] Gejutel
    he would be permitted to live
    in Lukedonia again.
[20:20] Franken
    That is not what he wants.
[20:24] Franken
    There are humans here,
[20:27] Franken
    as well as nobles like Regis and Seira.
[20:30] Franken
    At school, he has friends,
    classmates, and family.
[20:36] Franken
    For Raizel-sama, the life he has now
    cannot be traded for anything.
[20:44] Franken
    He loves it with all his heart.
[20:52] Tao
    Aw, that's no good.
[20:55] Takio
    Shut up. It's your turn.
[21:01] Takio
    Serves you right.
[21:02] Gejutel
    I suppose he has changed.
[21:04] Franken
    No, what changed was...
[21:07] Franken
    the everyday life surrounding him.
[21:11] Franken
    Back then, Master and I were alone,
[21:15] Franken
    but now...
[21:18] Franken
    there's always activity
    and vibrance around us.
[21:25] Regis
    You're leaving?
[21:26] Gejutel
    Yes, in the morning.
[21:29] Seira
    Gejutel-sama...
[21:32] Seira
    You do not intend to take us back with you?
[21:37] Gejutel
    Regis.
[21:39] Gejutel
    I'm certain you will take my place one day.
[21:42] Gejutel
    You cannot live in frivolity forever.
[21:46] Gejutel
    Which is precisely why,
[21:48] Gejutel
    until that day comes, you should live here
[21:51] Gejutel
    and gain things you could
    not find elsewhere.
[21:56] Gejutel
    Seira, look after Regis.
[22:00] Seira
    You can rest at ease.
[22:02] Gejutel
    I want you both to do as your hearts desire.
[22:05] Gejutel
    Walk a path that you can proudly say
    was the proper life for a noble.
[22:11] Both
    We will.
[22:20] Raskreia
    It was a mistake?
[22:22] Gejutel
    Yes.
[22:24] Raskreia
    I fail to understand.
[22:26] Raskreia
    You mean two prodigies like them
    made the same mistake?
[22:30] Gejutel
    That is correct.
[22:32] Raskreia
    I will read your mind, then.
[22:36] Gejutel
    It is no simple task to
    take control of my mind.
[22:41] Raskreia
    What of Seira's, then?
[22:44] Raskreia
    She is still a young clan leader.
[22:47] Raskreia
    No matter how she tries,
    she cannot fight my power.
[22:51] Gejutel
    Lord!
[22:52] Raskreia
    Rajak.
[22:53] Rajak
    Lord?
[22:54] Raskreia
    Bring Seira here... and put Gejutel in a cell.
[23:00] Rajak
    Yes, Lord.
[23:01] Rael
    Let me be the one to go!
[23:04] Rajak
    Rael, who gave you permission to enter here?
[23:09] Rael
    I'm aware that only clan leaders
    are permitted in here.
[23:14] Rael
    But I am the better choice
    to bring Seira back!
[23:17] Rael
    We know each other, after all.
[23:20] Rajak
    Rael...
[23:21] Raskreia
    Very well, then.
[23:23] Raskreia
    Rael Kertia, you are to
    bring her back at any cost.
[23:28] Raskreia
    That is an order.
