[00:13] ---
    The House of Lancaster still clings
    to the throne in defiance of reason.
[00:17] ---
    The same throne that they wrongfully
    usurped from the House of York.
[00:22] ---
    Indeed. My father was executed
    for the crime of treason,
[00:26] ---
    and our house plunged into dishonor.
[00:29] ---
    Your Grace's blood has always
    been more noble than the king's.
[00:35] ---
    You have the stronger claim
    to the throne, after all.
[00:41] ---
    Warwick, should I become king?
[00:44] ---
    I swear on this white rose
[00:47] ---
    that I will put you on the throne,
    Your Majesty, King Richard.
[00:53] ---
    Father.
[00:54] ---
    I am going to rouse
    a tempest in this land.
[00:58] ---
    I promise to return with
    a golden circlet in hand.
[01:03] ---
    A golden circlet?
[01:05] ---
    Within that circlet lies paradise.
[01:08] ---
    "Inspired by William Shakespeare"
    Every joy and blessing
    that the poets imagine.
[01:13] ---
    I want to fight alongside you, Father.
[01:16] ---
    I know. I hope you'll support me
    on the battlefield when you're older.
[01:20] ---
    Richard, my son, I gave you my name,
    and I have high hopes for you.
[01:26] ---
    Yes, Father!
[01:27] ---
    My father is my light.
[01:30] ---
    Only he will save me
    from darkness and gloom.
[01:42] ---
    "Original manga" "Aya Kanno"
[01:48] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:50] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:53] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[01:59] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:27] ---
    Well, Richard, do you surrender?
[02:30] ---
    That's Edward for you.
[02:32] ---
    Let me try again, Edward!
[02:33] ---
    That's enough, Lord Richard.
[02:36] ---
    Your mother will scold you
    if you're injured.
[02:40] ---
    Richard, go home with Catesby.
[02:43] ---
    Edward, let's race back to the house.
[02:46] ---
    Challenge accepted, George.
[02:48] ---
    See you later, Richard.
[02:50] ---
    Edward!
[02:54] ---
    Catesby, give me your horse!
[02:57] ---
    Lord Richard, it's too dangerous alone.
[03:00] ---
    Ride with me.
[03:01] ---
    I can do it!
[03:11] ---
    I want to help my father soon.
[03:14] ---
    I'll fight alongside him to win the throne
    back from the Lancastrians.
[03:19] ---
    It will be my father's!
[03:25] ---
    Mother!
[03:27] ---
    Mother!
[03:28] ---
    Witches live deep in the forest.
[03:31] ---
    That's why you must never go there alone.
[03:37] ---
    Mother?
[03:45] ---
    Richard.
[03:47] ---
    --Mother.
    --Richard!
[03:48] ---
    --Richard!
    --Richard!
[03:50] ---
    Richard!
[03:51] ---
    Demon child! Did your mother abandon you?
[03:53] ---
    Of course she did!
[03:54] ---
    The day you were born,
    a terrible storm laid trees low!
[03:58] ---
    Owls screeched!
[03:59] ---
    Crows croaked in the night!
[04:00] ---
    To herald the coming
    of an age of misfortune!
[04:03] ---
    Your mother suffered
    abnormal birthing pains!
[04:06] ---
    And after all that, her child...
[04:10] ---
    ...was a blood-soaked demon
    who defied the will of God!
[04:15] ---
    Let me prophecy, Richard.
[04:18] ---
    One day, a host of the elderly who have
    lost their children, of widows, of orphans
[04:25] ---
    will lament the untimely
    deaths you have caused.
[04:29] ---
    "Why was he ever born?" they will cry,
    as they curse the day of your birth!
[04:38] ---
    Help!
[04:42] ---
    That was dangerous!
[04:43] ---
    Please! I think he's hurt.
[04:48] ---
    A white boar.
[04:51] ---
    He might bite.
[05:00] ---
    Thank you for saving him.
[05:03] ---
    I just thought he'd make a good
    addition to tonight's dinner.
[05:06] ---
    Mother!
[05:07] ---
    What have you been doing? You're so dirty.
[05:10] ---
    George fell in the mud.
[05:12] ---
    Edward pushed me!
[05:14] ---
    Come along, my sweet little
    princes. Change your clothes.
[05:21] ---
    Are you hurt, Lord Richard?
[05:25] ---
    Of course I'm not hurt.
[05:27] ---
    My father taught me horsemanship.
[05:32] ---
    When will I be able to
    surpass my brothers?
[05:41] ---
    When will my arms thicken?
[05:46] ---
    When will I be able to be like my father?
[05:51] ---
    I am a son of Richard Plantagenet,
    Duke of York.
[05:55] ---
    I must be able to do it.
[06:01] ---
    His Grace has returned
    from the battlefield.
[06:06] ---
    Finally! Father returns in triumph.
[06:09] ---
    Welcome home, Father!
[06:11] ---
    Father!
[06:22] ---
    Richard, I almost didn't recognize you.
[06:25] ---
    I've improved my swordplay and learned to
    ride full-grown horses like my brothers.
[06:30] ---
    Is that so? My, how you've grown.
[06:34] ---
    I swear to become a bold warrior
    worthy of being a king's son.
[06:41] ---
    Father?
[06:42] ---
    I was victorious in my battle
    against the Lancastrians,
[06:48] ---
    but the king begged me to guard
    the people for his lifetime.
[06:53] ---
    Parliament strongly favored his petition,
[06:56] ---
    and I was forced to settle
    for the title of Protector.
[07:00] ---
    I will not be king.
[07:03] ---
    Not while King Henry lives.
[07:10] ---
    Have they no shame?
[07:13] ---
    Let's fight them again!
[07:14] ---
    The crown belongs on your head, Father!
[07:18] ---
    Richard.
[07:19] ---
    We'll force them to acknowledge you!
[07:22] ---
    But...
[07:23] ---
    Father.
[07:26] ---
    "Within that circlet lies paradise.
[07:29] ---
    Every joy and blessing
    that the poets imagine."
[07:33] ---
    You told me that yourself, Father.
[07:36] ---
    Let us fight.
[07:37] ---
    We'll dye this white rose red
    with Henry's blood!
[07:42] ---
    Father!
[07:47] ---
    Gentlemen,
[07:48] ---
    I will cross swords with
    the Lancastrians once more.
[07:52] ---
    This storm will rage until a golden
    crown gleams upon my brow!
[07:58] ---
    Sharpen your swords and prepare for war!
[08:05] ---
    I will become king.
[08:08] ---
    I know.
[08:09] ---
    I'll help you, Father.
[08:12] ---
    No. You're still too young
    to give your life.
[08:15] ---
    But Father,
    I've been training to fight for--
[08:18] ---
    Preserve my name, Richard.
    It's the name of a king.
[08:27] ---
    Richard! Give up already.
[08:30] ---
    We're still kids.
[08:36] ---
    Damn it!
[08:50] ---
    You can't do it, Richard.
[08:52] ---
    Not with your body.
[09:01] ---
    Who are you?!
[09:04] ---
    I'm Joan of Arc.
[09:07] ---
    I'm you.
[09:10] ---
    Speak sense, you French witch!
[09:13] ---
    How could you be me?!
[09:15] ---
    I know everything there is
    to know about you, Richard.
[09:19] ---
    Even the secret you keep hidden.
[09:23] ---
    Here. Take a look.
[09:25] ---
    Your body...
[09:28] ---
    ...is neither a man's nor a woman's.
[09:32] ---
    Lord Richard!
[09:34] ---
    --I beg your--
    --It's too late for that.
[09:36] ---
    You and my parents are the only
    people who know about this.
[09:42] ---
    A demon child.
[09:47] ---
    Lord Richard.
[09:48] ---
    I've had enough!
[09:50] ---
    You mustn't!
[09:54] ---
    Your body is precious.
[10:07] ---
    You ugly boar.
[10:09] ---
    You're just like me.
[10:30] ---
    Your Grace, the men are
    fatigued from this long battle.
[10:34] ---
    I suggest a withdrawal.
[10:35] ---
    A king stands firm.
[10:36] ---
    --But as things stand--
    --I promised Richard that I would fight
    until the bitter end!
[10:38] ---
    --I promised Richard that I would fight
    until the bitter end!
[10:44] ---
    Has Father returned?
[10:49] ---
    Are you York's son?
[10:57] ---
    To a Lancastrian victory!
[10:59] ---
    To our King Henry!
[11:03] ---
    O Lord, please guard my husband and son.
[11:08] ---
    Mother, I'm sure that Father
    and Edward are fine.
[11:12] ---
    Right, Richard?
[11:13] ---
    Father...
[11:14] ---
    You demon! This only happened because you
    beguiled him with your honeyed words!
[11:20] ---
    --Mother?
    --When you spoke to him...
[11:24] ---
    ...your face was the very picture
    of a devil!
[11:27] ---
    You are a demon child!
[11:30] ---
    --What's wrong, Mother?
    --You just don't know, George.
[11:33] ---
    A demon dwells within his body!
[11:47] ---
    Demon child!
[11:49] ---
    O Lord,
[11:51] ---
    preserve my husband and son
    from the devil's clutches.
[11:58] ---
    Father!
[12:03] ---
    Father, are you safe?
[12:16] ---
    Where am I?
[12:33] ---
    Who's there? What are you doing?
[12:47] ---
    I'm making a sundial.
[12:52] ---
    Here, I'll show you.
[12:57] ---
    You watch each minute pass
[12:59] ---
    and ponder how many minutes
    and years make up a person's life.
[13:05] ---
    You're an odd man.
[13:07] ---
    All shepherds do this.
[13:09] ---
    Are you a shepherd?
[13:13] ---
    Me?
[13:14] ---
    Yes!
[13:18] ---
    You count the time and then divide it up.
[13:20] ---
    How many hours spent herding flocks?
[13:22] ---
    Days until the ewes get with child?
    Weeks until they give birth?
[13:26] ---
    Years until you shear the lambs?
[13:29] ---
    What a delightful life it must be.
[13:33] ---
    Shepherds are lucky. You have it easy.
[13:37] ---
    I suppose so.
[13:38] ---
    This world is nothing
    but tragedy and desire.
[13:43] ---
    Shepherds are far happier than kings.
[13:46] ---
    That can't be!
[13:48] ---
    Paradise lies within that royal crown!
[13:53] ---
    Meeting you here delights
    me more than any crown.
[13:59] ---
    Come. Join me.
[14:10] ---
    Hey!
[14:13] ---
    I have nightmares under
    a canopy, but never here.
[14:19] ---
    Do you ever have nightmares?
[14:23] ---
    What kind of nightmares?
[14:26] ---
    I often dream of my mother abandoning me.
[14:32] ---
    But in the end, God always reaches
    down a hand of light to me.
[14:44] ---
    Light...
[14:45] ---
    "Why was he ever born?" they will cry,
    as they curse the day of your birth!
[14:58] ---
    Father.
[15:00] ---
    My light isn't God.
[15:05] ---
    I'm sure that Death would come
    for you if you went to sleep here.
[15:12] ---
    That might not be so bad,
    if my death could save someone.
[15:17] ---
    What difference would the
    death of one shepherd make?
[15:22] ---
    That's true.
[15:26] ---
    I like you!
[15:28] ---
    You're right. I'm just a shepherd.
[15:31] ---
    In the end, God will call me to
    His side just like everyone else.
[15:38] ---
    I don't want to die.
[15:41] ---
    I'm sure I couldn't go to heaven if I did.
[15:44] ---
    I mean, I'm...
[15:47] ---
    ...a demon child.
[15:55] ---
    That's why I can't get
    my mother to love me.
[16:05] ---
    I'll pray for you.
    Would you tell me your name?
[16:11] ---
    Richard.
[16:16] ---
    My name is Henry.
[16:18] ---
    Richard, would you be my friend?
[16:24] ---
    Then, let's stay here forever.
[16:28] ---
    I'm sure you won't freeze.
[16:32] ---
    Not if you hold each other close.
[16:35] ---
    Are you going back to that cell again?
[16:37] ---
    Poor little Richard.
[16:40] ---
    You know that no one will love you.
[16:43] ---
    My father will shine
    his light into any prison.
[16:49] ---
    My duty is to guard
    my mother until he does!
[16:59] ---
    "Henry."
[17:01] ---
    I hate to even speak that name.
[17:04] ---
    Hey! Wake up!
[17:07] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Richard.
[17:09] ---
    You look great in those shackles.
[17:11] ---
    Just like a bear before
    the hounds torment it to death.
[17:14] ---
    I guess that makes you a dog, then.
[17:17] ---
    You can act brave and bite,
[17:19] ---
    but one swipe of a forepaw will send you
    off with your tail between your legs.
[17:22] ---
    Don't get cocky, you filthy demon.
[17:26] ---
    Your body holds a secret.
[17:28] ---
    Isn't that what your mother told you?
[17:31] ---
    The jailer told me.
[17:33] ---
    Have you got a devil's tail?
[17:35] ---
    Or are you hiding a beast's
    body under your clothes?
[17:40] ---
    Let's find out.
[17:54] ---
    Stop spouting pointless insults
    and learn from your father's piety.
[17:59] ---
    You'll be dining in heaven tonight.
[18:02] ---
    Hey. Stop it.
[18:03] ---
    You ugly demon.
[18:05] ---
    Your brutality is proof of what you are!
[18:07] ---
    Stop it!
[18:20] ---
    He's... a woman?
[18:25] ---
    Hurry! The Yorkists are coming!
[18:26] ---
    You there! What are you doing?!
[18:31] ---
    Richard!
[18:32] ---
    Edward!
[18:34] ---
    Edward, Mother is...
[18:35] ---
    Don't worry. We just saved them both.
[18:38] ---
    Our forces have already occupied
    London and captured Henry.
[18:42] ---
    We've won!
[18:45] ---
    Henry of Lancaster...
[18:49] ---
    ...offer His Grace the throne.
[18:52] ---
    Henry, the House of York
    will inherit the throne.
[18:56] ---
    There is no need to stain the ground
    of England with any more blood.
[19:03] ---
    Long live His Grace, the Duke of York!
[19:05] ---
    Edward, you've served your father well.
[19:09] ---
    I'm proud of you.
[19:12] ---
    You were truly magnificent.
[19:14] ---
    No heir could be more worthy.
[19:18] ---
    I'm not the best.
[19:20] ---
    With this, your reign
    has practically begun.
[19:23] ---
    No, I'm not king yet.
[19:25] ---
    As long as Henry lives--
[19:27] ---
    In that case, Father,
[19:30] ---
    you should execute Henry at once.
[19:33] ---
    Wait, Richard. Henry still has his uses.
[19:37] ---
    We should proceed with caution until
    parliament recognizes His Grace's claim.
[19:42] ---
    I suggest we enjoy this banquet first.
[19:45] ---
    My daughters are anxious
    to dance with the princes.
[19:50] ---
    The girl from the woods.
[19:53] ---
    I-I never said anything
    about wanting to dance.
[19:58] ---
    I'll excuse myself.
[20:00] ---
    Where are you going?!
[20:04] ---
    I'm a poor dancer.
[20:06] ---
    Well... I actually can't dance either.
[20:10] ---
    I'd rather spend my time learning
    swordsmanship than dancing.
[20:13] ---
    I like swordplay better too!
[20:14] ---
    You do?!
[20:18] ---
    You're an odd girl.
[20:20] ---
    Y-You're quite strange yourself.
[20:23] ---
    You're... different from
    everyone else, somehow.
[20:31] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea, Richard.
[20:33] ---
    You're not like anyone else.
[20:40] ---
    You're "different"!
[20:44] ---
    You're all alone!
[20:50] ---
    Once you go to war, even Edward
    may not be a match for you, Richard.
[20:55] ---
    Father.
[20:57] ---
    I heard your voice on the battlefield--
    telling me that a king keeps fighting.
[21:03] ---
    I felt a special bond between us then,
[21:08] ---
    Richard.
[21:11] ---
    As your father, I swear to never
    retreat from battle again.
[21:17] ---
    I swear too!
[21:19] ---
    I swear that I'll take
    Henry's head myself!
[21:25] ---
    I'm not a king anymore.
[21:29] ---
    I'm just a shepherd.
[21:32] ---
    I long to see you,
[21:34] ---
    Richard.
[21:42] ---
    Father, if it would help to make you king,
[21:47] ---
    I would even slay God.
