[00:01] Clops
Sariphi, why did you suddenly ask to see
portraits of the late king and queen?
[00:07] Sariphi
Huh? Oh, well...
[00:11] Sariphi
Leonhart is half human,
and his dad was king before him,
[00:17] Sariphi
so I thought he must have gotten
his human blood from his mom.
[00:21] Clops
Once you're queen, your picture
will be up there, too, Sari.
[00:24] Sariphi
Huh?
[00:26] Sariphi
Could I really be queen?
[00:34] Sariphi
Cy!
[00:35] Vivian
Goodness. Please excuse my discourtesy.
[00:38] Vivian
Lady Sariphi, I presume?
[00:40] Sariphi
Oh, y-yes.
[00:43] Vivian
I've heard so much about you.
[00:45] Vivian
I am Vivian, Princess of Bizond.
[00:49] Sariphi
N-Nice to meet you.
[00:51] Vivian
Be that as it may,
[00:53] Vivian
you're even more charming than
I expected of His Majesty's mistress.
[00:57] Vivian
I've begun to fear for my own chances.
[01:01] Sariphi
What for?
[01:02] Vivian
You see,
[01:05] Vivian
I've come to ask His Majesty's
hand in marriage.
SIGN The Feline and Reptile Princesses
[01:17] Speaker A
S-Sire, please...
[01:19] Speaker B
Please calm yourself.
[01:20] Leonhart
Silence!
[01:22] Leonhart
I am your king! Who approved
this without consulting me?!
[01:27] Anubis
I did, Your Majesty.
[01:29] Leonhart
Anubis...
[01:30] Anubis
Begging your pardon, but since
Lady Sariphi's debut banquet,
[01:35] Anubis
we have been inundated with protests
and questions from all quarters.
[01:39] Anubis
If you take a human queen as things stand,
[01:43] Anubis
mending relations with the slighted
peers may prove impossible.
[01:49] Anubis
Naturally, I am well aware that you have
always rejected all offers of marriage.
[01:57] Anubis
However,
[01:58] Anubis
if you would at least give your
potential brides an audience...
[02:01] Clops
We'll never stand for it!
[02:04] Clops
Sariphi will be His Majesty's queen!
[02:07] Cy
Queen!
[02:08] Vivian
I quite understand that, of course.
[02:10] Vivian
However...
[02:11] Kora
Why, Princess Vivian.
[02:13] Vivian
Princess Kora. And Princess Alba, too.
[02:16] Alba
It's been too long.
[02:19] Alba
Let us speak later.
[02:23] Vivian
Each of us was sent here with the
hopes of a nation on her shoulders.
[02:29] Vivian
How are we to face our countrymen unless
His Majesty at least makes us concubines?
[02:36] Vivian
Oh, I beg your pardon.
[02:38] Vivian
How could I discuss such things
before our future queen?
[02:42] Vivian
I'm so glad we had the pleasure of speaking.
[02:44] Vivian
Now, if you'll excuse me.
[02:53] Sariphi
You startled me!
[02:54] Sariphi
You don't need to shout so loud.
[02:57] Leonhart
I wouldn't shout if you weren't so baffling.
[03:00] Leonhart
What did you just say?
[03:01] Sariphi
I said, I want you to meet these
princesses and really talk with them.
[03:07] Leonhart
It's a waste of time.
[03:09] Leonhart
I'll never take a concubine, and I
won't meet with these princesses.
[03:14] Sariphi
That's awful.
[03:15] Sariphi
You can't send them home
without even seeing them.
[03:18] Leonhart
Anubis arranged this on his own initiative.
[03:22] Leonhart
I never asked for it.
[03:24] Sariphi
But I think the chancellor has a good point.
[03:30] Sariphi
You have so much trouble to deal with
because of a human—because of me.
[03:35] Sariphi
You shouldn't upset important people
more than you can help.
[03:39] Leonhart
Then... do you realize what it would mean
[03:43] Leonhart
if I were to humor the nobility
and take concubines?
[03:48] Sariphi
What it would mean?
[03:50] Sariphi
Even I know what a concubine is,
more or less.
[03:54] Leonhart
These are shrewd, ambitious women
who chose a direct approach.
[03:59] Leonhart
If I keep them close, they may eventually
threaten your place as queen.
[04:05] Sariphi
If one of them would be
more help to His Majesty...
[04:10] Sariphi
I wouldn't mi—
[04:14] Leonhart
Do you honestly mean that?
[04:18] Sariphi
Well, I don't want to hold you back.
[04:23] Leonhart
Are you implying that I'm too
weak a king to support you?
SIGN Hmph
[04:30] Sariphi
I'm saying no such thing!
[04:32] Sariphi
You're acting weird today, sire!
[04:33] Leonhart
You're the odd one!
[04:35] Leonhart
I'm done discussing this matter with you.
[04:38] Leonhart
Shut your mouth and go to sleep!
[04:42] Sariphi
I've had it!
[04:43] Clops
What were you thinking?!
[04:45] Sariphi
I mean, the king is just so stubborn!
[04:48] Clops
B-But he'll give us a real tongue-lashing
if he finds out we hid you.
[04:54] Cy
Tongue-lashing!
[04:56] Sariphi
Don't worry. His Majesty wouldn't
lose his temper for no...
[05:01] Sariphi
That's right. He wouldn't.
[05:03] Sariphi
So what was he so angry about earlier?
[05:06] Sariphi
I don't need to be queen.
I just want to stay with him.
[05:12] Sariphi
Is that not good enough?
[05:16] Sariphi
I think I'll have another talk
with the king after all.
[05:24] Leonhart
I trust you realize what it means
to set foot in my chamber.
[05:31] Vivian
But of course, Your Majesty.
[05:34] Vivian
I realize I'm being impertinent.
[05:36] Vivian
But while powerful wards
normally protect your chamber,
[05:41] Vivian
for some reason, it is defenseless tonight.
[05:44] Vivian
I believe I know exactly
what that signifies.
[05:49] Vivian
Please, don't look so fearsome.
[05:52] Vivian
I understand how deeply Your
Majesty cares for Lady Sariphi.
[05:57] Vivian
But after all,
[05:59] Vivian
Your Majesty is still a gentleman.
[06:01] Vivian
You must require a concubine or two.
[06:05] Vivian
I mean, you can hardly make love
like this with a human lady, can you?
[06:11] Leonhart
Do you realize what it would mean
if I were to take a concubine?
[06:16] Sariphi
I know. I don't mind.
[06:18] (Flashback) Vivian
...you can hardly make love like this...
[06:20] Sariphi
As long as I can stay with him, I don't...
[06:23] (Flashback) Vivian
...with a human lady...
[06:27] Sariphi
No!
[06:33] Sariphi
I... I'm sorry!
[06:35] Sariphi
I didn't mean to intrude!
[06:37] Vivian
My, how hasty Lady Sariphi is.
[06:40] Vivian
Now, sire, let us continue.
[06:42] Leonhart
Indeed.
[06:44] Leonhart
Due to an unwanted guest,
I missed the one I was truly expecting.
[06:48] Leonhart
Begone. Never show your unseemly
ambition in my presence again!
[06:54] Vivian
B-By your leave, sire!
[07:00] Sariphi
Cy, Clops.
[07:02] Sariphi
Let me sleep here tonight, after all.
[07:04] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[07:06] Sariphi
I'm sorry I woke you.
[07:07] Sariphi
Come on, go back to sleep.
[07:10] Sariphi
Why do I feel this way?
[07:11] Sariphi
It stings, like I got something
sharp caught in my throat.
[07:20] Kora
I never dreamed I'd one day
share breakfast with Your Majesty.
[07:23] Alba
Yes, it's an incredible honor.
SIGN AWKWARD SILENCE
[07:32] Sariphi
I couldn't look him in the eye.
[07:36] Sariphi
I ought to be thanking him for
meeting the princesses like this.
[07:41] Sariphi
And...
[07:42] Kora
Goodness, is Princess Vivian still abed?
[07:46] Sariphi
After yesterday...
[07:48] Kora
Sire, you simply must
visit my native kingdom.
[07:51] Kora
We have so many splendid works of art.
[07:54] Alba
Oh, if it's beauty you're after,
my homeland is rich in currant rubies.
[07:58] Leonhart
I am dining. Still your tongues.
[08:05] Amit
Oh, I beg your pardon!
[08:08] Kora
Goodness, who's she?
[08:10] Alba
Amit, the sixth princess of Murga.
[08:13] Kora
Even those unsightly Reptilians seek
the king's hand? How shameless.
[08:19] Sariphi
Are you all right?
[08:21] Sariphi
Did you hurt yourself?
[08:23] Sariphi
You should take in some air outside.
[08:25] Sariphi
Come on.
[08:26] Anubis
What?!
[08:27] Anubis
Leaving during a meal is
the height of discourtesy!
[08:29] Leonhart
Never mind.
[08:31] Leonhart
Let her do as she pleases.
[08:34] Sariphi
Are you all right, um... Amit?
[08:38] Amit
P-Please forgive me, Lady Sariphi.
I didn't mean to trouble you.
[08:43] Sariphi
Oh, I'm no one special.
[08:45] Amit
No, you're inspiring, Lady Sariphi!
[08:49] Amit
You stand your ground
in the king's presence.
[08:53] Amit
I'm overcome with terror at the
mere sight of His Majesty.
[08:58] Clops
Princess Amit looks a lot scarier.
[09:01] Sariphi
If you're so scared of the king,
why ask to marry him?
[09:05] Amit
My homeland, Murga, is the
foremost Reptilian kingdom.
[09:09] Amit
And until just 200 years ago,
we were at war with Ozmargo.
[09:14] Sariphi
Two hundred years?
[09:15] Clops
Considering how long beasts live,
that's not such ancient history.
[09:19] Amit
As a relatively new vassal state,
we Reptilians face persecution.
[09:24] Amit
We'd assumed the king wouldn't
even give us the time of day,
[09:28] Amit
but then it seemed he might have,
um, peculiar tastes, so...
SIGN Peculiar tastes
[09:33] Sariphi
Ah.
SIGN Ah
[09:36] Amit
But it turns out I don't fit in after all.
[09:39] Amit
Not that he would ever have chosen me.
All my sisters are prettier than I am.
[09:44] Amit
Yet I'm forbidden to return home
without winning the king's heart,
[09:50] Amit
so I've essentially been exiled.
[09:54] Sariphi
That's awful!
[09:56] Amit
It's just how things are.
[09:57] Amit
Royal women must give themselves
for their kingdoms.
[10:02] Amit
I was born into shackles
I can't hope to escape.
[10:06] Amit
This has always been my fate.
[10:10] Vassal A
Have you heard? Our troops have
returned from the campaign in Gael.
[10:15] Vassal B
Then the Royal Guard has returned!
[10:17] Vassal C
Look there!
[10:21] Vassal C
It's Guard Captain Jormungand!
[10:25] Anubis
You've served well in this campaign.
Once you've made yourself presentable—
[10:30] Jormungand
Where is the king? I must report
the outcome of the expedition.
[10:33] Anubis
You fool!
[10:34] Anubis
Would you face His Majesty in
those travel-stained clothes?!
[10:38] Jormungand
You're as uptight as ever, Abi.
[10:43] Jormungand
Hm?
[10:45] Jormungand
You must be the human princess.
[10:48] Jormungand
Your reputation precedes you.
[10:50] Jormungand
I am Jormungand, captain of
His Majesty's Royal Guard.
[10:54] Jormungand
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[10:56] Sariphi
Th-The pleasure is mine. I'm Sariphi.
[11:01] Jormungand
I have sworn loyalty to His Majesty.
[11:04] Jormungand
If he wishes you to be his consort,
I will abide by his decision.
[11:10] Jormungand
Still, I have my reservations
about a human queen.
[11:15] Jormungand
Please perform your duties well,
[11:18] Jormungand
and disappoint neither
myself nor His Majesty.
[11:24] Jormungand
Now, excuse me.
[11:29] Sariphi
I was so nervous!
[11:31] Clops
Captain Jormungand is a commoner
who rose through the ranks.
[11:32] Anubis
Wait, I refuse to accept this girl as queen!
[11:34] Clops
He's one of the few soldiers
to have His Majesty's trust!
[11:36] Anubis
Listen! Listen to me, Jor!
[11:37] Cy
So cool!
[11:41] Sariphi
What's wrong, Amit?
[11:43] Amit
Oh, nothing. Only...
[11:46] Amit
Whenever I see the captain,
w-well, my heart skips a beat.
[11:54] Sariphi
Are you sick?!
[11:55] Clops
I don't think so.
[11:57] Amit
You see, it all started
when I was a little girl,
[12:02] Amit
during the first royal visit to Murga
since we became a vassal state.
[12:08] Amit
Everyone in Murga was eager
for a glimpse of the young king.
[12:12] Amit
And I...
[12:13] (Flashback) Amit's Sister
Out of the way, Amit!
[12:15] (Flashback) Amit's Sister
I must get His Majesty
to see me in this dress!
[12:18] Amit
Just then...
[12:19] (Flashback) Jormungand
Use this.
[12:21] (Flashback) Amit
Th-This is a Royal Guard scarf!
[12:24] (Flashback) Amit
It has the royal seal to show you
take orders only from His Majesty!
[12:29] (Flashback) Amit
I can't accept something so precious!
[12:32] (Flashback) Jormungand
His Majesty wishes his Royal
Guard to defend his kingdom.
[12:37] (Flashback) Jormungand
Every scrap of cloth I wear and drop of
blood in my veins belongs to its people.
[12:44] Amit
That was Captain Jormungand, although
he was a common guardsman at the time.
[12:51] Clops
What a man!
[12:53] Amit
I only met him that one time,
[12:56] Amit
so I doubt he even remembers me.
[13:00] Amit
But I longed to see him again
and return his scarf.
[13:05] Sariphi
And that's why you came to woo the king?
[13:09] Amit
Even I think I'm a fool.
[13:12] Amit
But I don't care how miserable
I end up if I can go to his side.
[13:18] Amit
That's what love is.
[13:23] Sariphi
Love, huh? I guess I
don't really understand.
[13:26] Amit
Oh, don't worry. You'll know
when your time comes.
[13:32] Amit
It's like the ringing of a bell.
[13:34] Amit
Your heart starts racing to
tell you that he's the one.
[13:40] Amit
Do you not know such a person?
[13:42] Amit
Someone who makes your cheeks
hot upon merely seeing him,
[13:45] Amit
and whose voice makes you tingle?
[13:48] Amit
And the sight of him becoming intimate
with another woman makes your heart ache?
[13:56] Amit
I take it you've thought of someone?
[13:59] Sariphi
I'm not sure.
[14:00] Sariphi
We're kind of fighting right now.
[14:02] Amit
Oh, dear! That absolutely won't do!
[14:04] Amit
You need to make up as soon as you can!
[14:07] Amit
No matter how much your heart aches,
you mustn't ignore how you feel.
[14:12] Amit
Stand your ground, confront him,
and tell him frankly how you feel.
[14:18] Sariphi
Um...
[14:19] Amit
I understand! Your love is a
secret from the king, isn't it?!
[14:22] Amit
Have no fear! I'm on your side!
[14:25] Sariphi
Well...
[14:27] Amit
From this day forth, we are the
League of Maidens in Love!
[14:30] Clops
Sari's overwhelmed. I don't really
get it, but I'm impressed.
[14:31] Amit
Please say it with me! Ready?
[14:33] Amit
We are the League of Maidens in Love!
[14:34] Cy
Scary.
[14:34] Sariphi
...In love.
[14:36] Amit
Once more!
[14:36] Kora
What is that Reptilian princess thinking,
fawning over the human?
[14:37] Amit; Sariphi
We are the League of Maidens in Love!
[14:41] Alba
Since she can't win the king's affection,
[14:43] Alba
she must mean to curry favor
with the human instead.
[14:46] Kora
What base cunning.
She needs to learn her place.
[14:51] Sariphi
Cy, Clops, do I really need to attend, too?
[14:55] Clops
Of course you do!
[14:56] Clops
His Majesty is holding a banquet
to recognize Captain Jor tonight!
[15:01] Clops
And the festivities can't
start without our queen!
[15:04] Sariphi
Huh?
[15:05] Sariphi
What's wrong, Amit?
[15:07] Sariphi
The banquet's about to...
[15:10] Sariphi
Your dress is in shreds!
How did this happen?!
[15:14] Amit
W-Well, you see...
[15:17] Kora
My, Reptilian formal wear is quite daring.
[15:21] Sariphi
Don't tell me you did this!
[15:24] Amit
It's all right, Lady Sariphi.
[15:25] Sariphi
But tonight is...
[15:27] Amit
I know. Captain Jormungand
will attend this banquet.
[15:33] Amit
I had dreamed that I might
share a word with him.
[15:39] Amit
But the worlds we live in
are just too far apart.
[15:44] Amit
This is my punishment for
having ideas above my station.

[15:48] Amit
L-L-Lady Sariphi?!
[15:50] Sariphi
It is not all right!
[15:52] Sariphi
You came all this way to see
the captain, didn't you?
[15:55] Sariphi
Then don't let a little
thing like this beat you.
[15:58] Sariphi
You want to be with him, no matter what.
[16:01] Sariphi
Isn't that what love is?
[16:05] Anubis
We honor the safe return and illustrious
achievements of Captain Jormungand.
[16:14] Anubis
Girl, what became of the formal
wear I had prepared for you?
[16:17] Sariphi
The hem caught on something and ripped.
[16:19] Anubis
What?! And you had the gall to come anyway?
[16:25] Kora
Say, I don't see Princess Amit.
[16:29] Alba
She's probably too busy
deciding what to wear.
[16:33] Amit
I... I'm so sorry for my lateness.
[16:39] Amit
U-Um...
[16:42] Amit
Oh, I can't!
[16:43] Amit
I'm hopeless.
[16:45] Sariphi
You can do it, Amit!
[16:47] (Flashback) Sariphi
I promise. If you can work up
your courage, then...
[16:54] Amit
For you.
[16:57] Jormungand
Is this...
[17:02] Jormungand
I hardly recognized you, my little lady.
[17:08] Sariphi
Way to go, Amit.
[17:10] Sariphi
I'll be brave, too.
[17:11] Maid
Here you are.
[17:12] Sariphi
Oh, thank you.
[17:13] Sariphi
I'll face these feelings I can't name.
[17:19] Sariphi
Vivian...
[17:21] Sariphi
I thought she looked at me just now.
Maybe I imagined it?
[17:26] Sariphi
I feel... dizzy...
[17:34] Sariphi
Huh? What am I doing here?
[17:38] Vivian
How do you feel?
[17:40] Vivian
It appears you were suddenly taken ill.
[17:45] Sariphi
I'm fine now.
[17:46] Vivian
Really? That's a shame.
[17:50] Vivian
Perhaps I should have
presented stronger liquor.
[17:55] Vivian
Say, would you kindly make way for me?
[17:59] Sariphi
Huh?
[18:00] Sariphi
Um... What do you—
[18:02] Vivian
Be quiet!
[18:03] Vivian
I've controlled all manner
of men with my body.
[18:07] Vivian
Yet the king refused to so much as touch me!
[18:13] Vivian
I've never been so humiliated!
[18:15] Vivian
Royal women are scorned as wastes of
space unless they're politically useful.
[18:21] Vivian
I won't stand for it!
[18:23] Vivian
The idiot king who fell for a human
is the truly worthless one!
[18:28] Vivian
What is he good for, except as my puppet?!
[18:31] Vivian
So... just disappear!
[18:36] Sariphi
Even if I weren't here,
[18:39] Sariphi
I know His Majesty would
never keep you by his side.
[18:45] Sariphi
The king just isn't that kind of person.
[18:49] Sariphi
You see, he suffers under the weight
of his authority more than anyone.
[18:54] Sariphi
But he tries to hide that from
everyone and be a strong king.
[18:58] Sariphi
He does it for all his people.
[19:01] Sariphi
And because His Majesty is like that,
[19:04] Sariphi
even if I can't be his queen,
I'll never stand aside for you!
[19:10] Vivian
Why, you...
[19:12] Amit
Run, Lady Sariphi! Hurry!
[19:16] Sariphi
Amit!
[19:20] Vivian
Even the Reptilian stands in my way?
[19:23] Vivian
You lesser races never know when to stop!
[19:33] Sariphi
Sire!
[19:36] Leonhart
Have you forgotten what I said last night?
[19:39] Vivian
P-Please forgive me!
[19:41] Vivian
B-But I had no other choice.
[19:45] Vivian
I can't survive without
Your Majesty's affection.
[19:49] Vivian
I beg you, please have mercy!
[19:51] Leonhart
Silence!
[19:52] Leonhart
This is your final warning!
[19:54] Leonhart
Never show your hideous self
in my presence again!
[20:03] Leonhart
Are you all right?
[20:06] Leonhart
That spoiled the evening.
[20:08] Leonhart
You needn't return to the banquet.
Rest in my chamber.
[20:12] Sariphi
Sire.
[20:15] Sariphi
Thank you for taking the
time to meet them all.
[20:19] Sariphi
And I'm sorry. This is all my fault.
[20:23] Leonhart
This banquet was my idea.
[20:26] Leonhart
Anubis insists I humor the nobility
occasionally. I merely saw his point.
[20:32] Leonhart
And... I spoke too harshly
last night. Forgive me.
[20:43] Anubis
So in the end, none of the princesses
managed to move the king's heart.
[20:48] Amit
Oh, my, Lord Chancellor.
What brings you to the palace outskirts?
[20:53] Anubis
Wh-Why, Princess Amit.
[20:56] Anubis
What are you still doing here?
[20:58] Amit
I received special permission
to stay on as Lady Sariphi's friend.
[21:06] Amit
His Majesty called it my
reward for defending her.
[21:09] Anubis
What?!
[21:11] Amit
I baked mandragora scones
for a late-night snack.
[21:14] Amit
Would you care for one?
[21:16] Anubis
N-No, thank you.
[21:18] Amit
I see. Then excuse me.
[21:22] Anubis
All I've done is give
the wench another ally!
[21:27] Leonhart
Sariphi, you needn't pity
or sympathize with her.
[21:33] Leonhart
Princesses Amit, Vivian, and the rest
all knew the risks of what they did.
[21:38] Sariphi
I know. I need to be more prepared, too.
[21:43] Sariphi
For what it means to stay by the king's side.
[21:47] Leonhart
Then remember this:
[21:50] Leonhart
I need neither concubines
nor any other women.
[21:54] Leonhart
The only woman I desire is you, Sariphi.
[22:00] Amit
A bell.
[22:01] Amit
It's like the ringing of a bell,
[22:03] Amit
telling you that he's the one.
[22:09] Sariphi
Huh?
[22:12] Leonhart
Sari, what's come over you?
[22:14] Sariphi
It's cold out today!
And you're so fluffy, sire!
[22:17] Leonhart
The weather seems ordinary to me.
[22:20] Sariphi
I don't get it.
[22:21] Leonhart
Well, no matter.
[22:24] Leonhart
Stay that way as long as you like.
[22:27] Sariphi
Maybe I'll figure it out someday,
[22:30] Sariphi
if I can stay beside this warmth.
[23:25] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:27] Anubis
You turn my every ploy against me!
[23:29] Anubis
If this continues, my position will—
[23:31] Anubis
What?! What is this strange menace I sense?!
[23:34] Amit
Would you care for a scone, Lord Chancellor?
