[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. SIGN    YANK SIGN    YANK SIGN    YANK SIGN    YANK SIGN    YANK [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.
