**[00:03] (Flashback) Marcus**
You and Jonas, all of you, get out.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Anne**
But, Mister Radcliffe, that's—
**[00:08] (Flashback) Marcus**
Get out!
**[00:10] Anne**
I really made a mess this time.
**[00:13] Keith**
Anne.
**[00:15] Keith**
I'm sorry things turned out this way.
**[00:18] Anne**
Keith, you have nothing to apologize about.
**[00:20] Anne**
I'm grateful to you.
**[00:22] Keith**
We won't let it end this way.
**[00:24] Keith**
We'll find a way to show that
Sammy was behind everything.
**[00:28] Kat**
Don't worry. We won't just
wring our hands and give up.
**[00:33] Anne**
Then, Keith, I'll see you tomorrow
at the Exhibition.
**[00:36] Keith**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[00:45] Anne; internal**
*Miss Bridget...*
**[01:03] ---**
*I don't know how far I can go, but…*
**[01:18] ---**
*It's all right*
**[01:20] ---**
*Even alone, I'll be fine, but…*
**[01:24] ---**
* You know, the truth is*
* that no one is alone*
**[01:31] ---**
* Things like happiness,*
* loneliness, and even anxiety…*
**[01:37] ---**
*We are born to savor all those things*
**[01:47] ---**
*A single spoonful of sparkles*
**[01:50] ---**
*Transforms everything into smiles*
**[01:54] ---**
*That could be what I secretly wished for…*
**[02:01] ---**
*That miracle*
**[02:03] ---**
* We're each searching for*
* our most precious treasures*
**[02:10] ---**
*That's what our journey is for*
**[02:16] ---**
*I don't know how far I can go, but...*
**[02:24] ---**
* Each moment that passes before me*
* shall be spun from hope*
**[02:33] proprietress**
Well, it sounds like you've had
a terrible time of it again.
**[02:36] proprietress**
And it seems that there are horrible
people in the Radcliffe school, too.
**[02:40] proprietress**
Tomorrow, at the Exhibition,
you show them what you can do!
**[02:42] Anne**
Thank you, ma'a—
**[02:51] Anne**
Jonas!
**[02:54] Jonas**
What? Do you need something from me?
**[02:56] Anne**
Thank you for saving me.
**[02:59] Jonas**
I-It's not like I did it for you.
**[03:02] Jonas**
I just... got scared, that's all.
**[03:05] Anne**
Even so, I'm grateful to you.
**[03:07] Jonas**
I'm telling you, I was *scared*! That's all!
**[03:09] Jonas**
I *hate* you more than anything!
**[03:14] Anne**
What will you do now, Jonas?
**[03:16] Jonas**
That's none of your business.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Anne**
I found the motif for my piece.
**[03:34] (Flashback) Anne**
Keith complimented my sugar confection!
**[03:37] (Flashback) Anne**
Being praised by someone so skilled...
**[03:39] (Flashback) Anne**
of course I'm happy!
**[03:42] Challe; internal**
*She was so excited.*
**[03:44] Challe; internal**
*If yesterday's events hadn't happened...*
**[03:46] Challe; internal**
* that might have been a place*
* where you could have belonged.*
**[03:50] Challe; internal**
*But...*
**[03:51] Challe; internal**
* having you here like this*
* now sets me at ease.*
**[03:56] Challe; internal**
*It's selfish of me.*
**[03:59] Mithril**
Challe fenn Challe!
**[04:00] Mithril**
Will you hear what I have to say?
It's a serious conversation!
**[04:04] Challe**
I told you, I will not listen to your
serious questions anymore.
**[04:08] Mithril**
Wait! This time it really is serious!
**[04:12] Mithril**
Anne's silver sugar... is wrong!
**[04:15] Challe**
Wrong?
**[04:16] Mithril**
I was sneaking a taste...
**[04:18] Mithril**
No! I was taste-testing, just in case!
**[04:20] Mithril**
And it was wrong.
Both the flavor and the taste!
**[04:24] Mithril**
That isn't Anne's silver sugar.
**[04:26] Mithril**
It's the mass-produced sugar they
made at the Radcliffe Workshop!
**[04:37] Challe**
Mithril Lid Pod.
**[04:39] Challe**
Keep this matter a secret from Anne.
**[04:41] Challe**
Don't say anything and have her
enter the Exhibition tomorrow.
**[04:43] Challe**
Understand? Make sure of it.
**[04:45] Mithril**
What are you going to do?
**[04:48] Challe**
I'll find her silver sugar.
**[04:53] Kat**
Elliott! It's me! Open up!
**[04:56] Elliott**
I'm in the middle of something right now!
Could you come back later?
**[05:00] Keith**
Let's look, just the three of us.
**[05:02] Keith**
To think they'd switch out her silver sugar.
**[05:04] Keith**
No matter how I think about it,
it must have been...
**[05:06] Kat**
If what Challe says is true,
**[05:09] Kat**
then we'll need a witness
or evidence to prove it.
**[05:11] Kat**
That's why we need this guy
with his gift of gab to help us.
**[05:15] Kat**
Open up, Elliott! It's about Anne Halford!
**[05:21] Elliott**
Don't say that name right now!
**[05:23] Kat**
Huh?
**[05:23] Bridget**
Anne? That girl again?
**[05:26] Bridget**
Did something happen? Is that why Kat's here?
**[05:30] Bridget**
It must be so nice to have everyone
fawning over you and protecting you.
**[05:34] Bridget**
All that babying
went to her head. That's why...
**[05:36] Challe**
What do you know?
**[05:39] Bridget**
Y-You're...
**[05:41] Challe**
She's gotten this far all alone.
**[05:43] Challe**
No matter what happened, she never gave up.
**[05:45] Challe**
That's all.
**[05:47] Challe**
The one who has been babied...
**[05:48] Challe**
is you.
**[05:55] Elliott**
So...
**[05:56] Elliott**
Now that you've undone the work I did
**[05:58] Elliott**
keeping her company
as she drank away her heartbreak,
**[06:00] Elliott**
what are you here to talk about?
**[06:02] Keith**
The silver sugar that Anne refined...
**[06:04] Keith**
seems to have been switched out
for the mass-produced product.
**[06:07] Elliott**
What?
**[06:08] Elliott**
Who would do something so petty?
**[06:11] Kat**
We have an idea, but we need proof.
**[06:15] Kat**
Even the smallest clue would do.
**[06:16] Elliott**
Wait.
**[06:18] Elliott**
By "evidence," do you mean Anne's
silver sugar that was swapped out?
**[06:21] Elliott**
That sort of thing just wouldn't exist.
**[06:25] Elliott**
You'd throw it away, wouldn't you?
**[06:27] Elliott**
Because you did something bad.
**[06:29] Elliott**
If I were the culprit,
I'd definitely have gotten rid of it.
**[06:34] Keith**
Then, how will we...
**[06:36] Bridget**
I saw it.
**[06:40] Bridget**
I saw everything.
**[06:41] Bridget**
Who the culprit is, what they did,
and what happened to that girl's silver sugar.
**[06:47] Challe**
Is that true?
**[06:48] Bridget**
It's true.
**[06:50] Challe**
Answer me.
**[06:51] Challe**
Who did this?
**[06:52] Challe**
What happened to the silver sugar?
**[06:55] Bridget**
I have no intention of telling you.
**[07:04] Anne**
Mithril Lid Pod, is it really true?
**[07:08] Mithril**
Huh? I-Is what true?
**[07:10] Anne**
About Challe.
**[07:11] Anne**
That his hiccups wouldn't stop,
**[07:13] Anne**
so he went to the outskirts
of the city to get medicine.
**[07:16] Mithril**
F-Fairies sometimes come down
with hiccup sickness!
**[07:22] Anne; internal**
*What's wrong, Challe?*
**[07:24] Anne; internal**
*What could have happened?*
**[07:32] Keith**
I'm sorry, Anne.
We might not make it in time.
**[07:35] Keith**
She just won't talk to us.
**[07:39] Keith**
Mister Hingley came with me,
**[07:41] Keith**
but Challe stayed to try to convince her.
**[07:44] Keith**
It's so frustrating.
**[07:45] Keith**
I never imagined that the Exhibition
where I competed with you would turn into this.
**[07:49] Anne**
Wait. Keith, you've been
with Challe until now?
**[07:53] Anne**
What is going on?
**[07:55] Keith**
You don't know?
**[07:56] Hugh**
Keith Powell, stay in your designated area.
**[08:06] Hugh**
This morning, I received this letter.
**[08:10] Hugh**
This is what is written here.
**[08:13] Hugh**
Anne Halford, who means to participate in
today's Sugar Confectionary Exhibition,
**[08:18] Hugh**
is not someone who is worthy of
the title of sugar artisan.
**[08:21] Anne; internal**
*What?*
**[08:23] Hugh**
She does not possess the technical skill
necessary to process silver sugar.
**[08:26] Hugh**
As proof of this,
the silver sugar she has brought...
**[08:30] Hugh**
is the mass-produced product refined via
special measures due to this year's poor crop.
**[08:37] Keith**
That is ridiculous!
**[08:39] Keith**
Silver Sugar Viscount, you know
Anne's true abilities better than anyone!
**[08:43] Earl of Downing**
Do not venture your opinion
when it isn't asked for, Keith Powell!
**[08:47] Earl of Downing**
Since the complaint has been made,
**[08:49] Earl of Downing**
we must investigate or else risk it
developing into future problems.
**[08:52] Hugh**
As he says.
**[08:54] Hugh**
Anne Halford, we will inspect the contents
of your barrels. Do you understand?
**[08:58] Anne**
I have no objections. Please do.
**[09:02] Hugh**
For the sake of accuracy,
**[09:04] Hugh**
the master of the Radcliffe Workshop
school, Marcus Radcliffe, and I...
**[09:07] Hugh**
will conduct the examination together.
**[09:10] Anne**
I will remove the lid.
**[09:27] Marcus**
This is the mass-produced silver sugar refined
at the main Radcliffe workshop this year.
**[09:33] Hugh**
Are you certain?
**[09:38] Anne; internal**
*Why?*
**[09:50] Elliott**
It's the mail!
**[09:51] Elliott**
It could be from Millsfield!
**[09:53] Elliott**
I'll go get it.
**[09:54] Elliott**
Bridget, you have a nice chat
with him, all right?
**[09:57] Elliott**
Bye!
**[10:01] Challe**
I will ask just once more.
**[10:03] Challe**
What happened to the silver sugar?
**[10:06] Challe**
Answer me.
**[10:07] Challe**
If you don't, I will cut you down.
**[10:11] Bridget**
That would work too.
**[10:13] Bridget**
That girl would never be able to
become a silver sugar master,
**[10:15] Bridget**
and you'd be disposed of
as a fairy who killed a human.
**[10:19] Bridget**
You could never go back to her.
**[10:22] Bridget**
It would be a lovers' suicide with me.
**[10:35] Challe**
Do you still want my wing?
**[10:40] Bridget**
I do.
**[10:42] Challe**
Would you tell me everything
in exchange for it?
**[10:45] Bridget**
Yes.
**[10:54] Challe**
Tell me.
**[10:57] Bridget**
Your wing.
**[11:05] Bridget**
Kiss me.
**[11:09] Bridget**
What? Wait, I...
**[11:29] Bridget**
I know where the silver sugar is.
**[11:34] Hugh**
What is the meaning of this, Anne Halford?
**[11:38] Anne**
I don't know.
**[11:40] Anne**
But I did refine the silver sugar with my own
hands and used it to make my piece.
**[11:45] spectator A**
Disqualify her!
**[11:46] spectator B**
If she didn't refine the silver sugar
herself, then she's not qualified!
**[11:48] audience; background**
That's right! It's not fair!
**[11:50] Kat**
You impetuous louts!
Despite how it looks, Anne Halford is—
**[11:53] proprietress**
She's the artisan who made a sugar
confection for the former Duke of Philax!
**[11:57] proprietress**
I know this! It's impossible that she'd be
unable to make silver sugar herself!
**[12:01] audience; background**
We won't stand for this! Disqualify her!
**[12:04] Earl of Downing**
Silence!
**[12:05] Earl of Downing**
Our king, His Majesty Edmond II, approaches!
**[12:12] Edmond II**
What is this commotion, Downing?
**[12:23] Edmond II**
You again?
**[12:25] Edmond II**
After last year, it seems you
enjoy creating utter turmoil.
**[12:29] Anne**
My deepest apologies, sire. I only...
**[12:32] Edmond II**
I have heard the story.
**[12:33] Edmond II**
Regardless of the reason,
**[12:35] Edmond II**
as someone without silver sugar
you have processed yourself,
**[12:38] Edmond II**
you are not qualified to stand here.
**[12:55] Edmond II**
Before you go, show us your piece.
**[12:59] Edmond II**
Not as an entry in the Exhibition, of course.
**[13:02] Edmond II**
We simply wish to see it.
**[13:04] Edmond II**
My queen has said so.
**[13:29] Edmond II**
It's exquisite.
**[13:33] Anne**
Your Majesty! Is there a fairy upon whom
you have bestowed your trust?
**[13:38] Edmond II**
A fairy?
**[13:41] Marguerite**
Clifford!
**[13:42] Marguerite**
Come here.
**[13:45] Edmond II**
I would trust him.
**[13:47] Anne**
Thank you, sire.
**[13:52] Keith**
Anne?
**[13:56] Anne**
I've heard that fairies can taste
the differences in silver sugar.
**[14:00] Anne**
And they'd be able to tell
what silver sugar this confection is made of.
**[14:04] Anne**
I am giving this to you.
**[14:07] Clifford**
Are you sure?
**[14:08] Anne**
I hope it suits your tastes.
**[14:12] Clifford**
In that case...
**[14:29] Clifford**
It was delicious. Incredibly so.
**[14:32] Clifford**
This is made from
a very high-quality silver sugar.
**[14:36] Clifford**
It is completely different
from a mass-produced product.
**[14:38] Marcus**
That can't be!
**[14:40] Edmond II**
To go so far as to sacrifice
the piece she labored so hard upon...
**[14:43] Edmond II**
Has she proven her innocence?
**[14:44] Anne**
I created my piece from my silver sugar.
**[14:49] Anne**
That is the one thing
I hope people will understand.
**[14:52] Anne**
For twice disrupting the sacred
Sugar Confectionary Exhibition...
**[14:56] Anne**
I offer my deepest apologies,
from the bottom of my heart.
**[15:02] Anne; internal**
*Challe! Miss Bridget...*
**[15:07] Earl of Downing**
The daughter of Glen Paige, master of
the Paige Workshop schools, is here.
**[15:10] Earl of Downing**
Your Majesty, she says she has
something she wishes to tell you.
**[15:13] Edmond II**
Let her pass.
**[15:16] Bridget**
I am Glen Paige's daughter.
My name is Bridget.
**[15:19] Edmond II**
What brings you here?
**[15:21] Bridget**
I...
**[15:22] Bridget**
know the artisan in attendance here,
**[15:24] Bridget**
Anne Halford, and I know the whereabouts
of the silver sugar she refined.
**[15:35] Edmond II**
Indeed? Then, where is it?
**[15:39] Bridget**
There.
**[15:40] Bridget**
In there, there should be barrels
with the name Sammy Jones written on them.
**[15:44] Bridget**
But the barrels are not filled
with silver sugar which he has refined.
**[15:49] Bridget**
It's Anne Halford's silver sugar.
**[15:51] Marcus**
What did you say?
**[15:53] Bridget**
I'm sorry, Sammy.
**[15:54] Bridget**
I saw everything.
**[15:56] Bridget**
I saw you and your friends
carrying barrels out of Anne's cart.
**[16:01] Bridget**
I hadn't planned on saying anything,
but circumstances have changed.
**[16:04] Marcus**
That can't be! It's just a false accusation
from the Paige school!
**[16:07] Marcus**
Right, Sammy? Tell them I'm right!
**[16:10] Hugh**
Bring Sammy Jones' silver sugar here!
**[16:17] Clifford**
It's the same flavor.
**[16:19] Clifford**
This is, without a doubt,
Anne Halford's silver sugar.
**[16:22] Marcus**
You switched the contents?
**[16:25] Marcus**
Why? Why would you do something like that?
**[16:27] Sammy**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!
**[16:30] Marcus**
Why would you do that now, for this event?
**[16:33] Sammy**
This silver sugar...
**[16:35] Sammy**
I just thought that everything
would be better if I'd made it.
**[16:42] Marcus**
You... You...
**[16:44] Marcus**
You incredible fool!
**[16:47] Hugh; to himself**
Well, I suppose this is what you might call
the nature of sugar artisans.
**[16:52] Marcus**
Your Majesty, I do not know how to
apologize for such disgraceful behavior.
**[16:56] Marcus**
As master of the school, I shall take
full responsibility and deal with him,
**[17:00] Marcus**
so please! If you could
please see your way to...
**[17:02] Edmond II**
This is unseemly. Leave, immediately.
**[17:05] Marcus**
Sire!
**[17:06] Edmond II**
Downing, declare the Exhibition open.
**[17:08] Earl of Downing**
Yes, sire.
**[17:09] Edmond II**
Anne Halford!
**[17:10] Anne**
Yes?
**[17:11] Edmond II**
You have already brought your piece
and your silver sugar here.
**[17:15] Edmond II**
There is no reason for you
to leave this place.
**[17:17] Anne**
Oh! Y-Yes, sire!
**[17:22] Anne**
Thank you, Miss Bridget.
**[17:24] Bridget**
No need for that.
I've already received my thanks.
**[17:36] Earl of Downing**
We now declare
the Sugar Confectionary Exhibition open!
**[17:39] Earl of Downing**
The greatest sugar artisan in the kingdom...
**[17:43] Earl of Downing**
shall be granted the title of
Silver Sugar Master. This we promise you.
**[17:46] Earl of Downing**
Citizens, His Majesty will now
look upon the sugar confections.
**[17:59] Edmond II**
What a powerful, elegant fairy.
**[18:02] Edmond II**
This is what is meant by
the phrase "utterly flawless."
**[18:07] Edmond II**
The way the sugar confection
gives form to the fairy...
**[18:09] Edmond II**
I've never seen better.
**[18:12] Edmond II**
Downing, what is this artisan's name?
**[18:15] Earl of Downing**
Keith Powell.
**[18:17] Earl of Downing**
He is the son of the previous
Silver Sugar Viscount.
**[18:20] Edmond II**
I see. A blood relative, then?
**[18:23] Edmond II**
Keith Powell.
**[18:24] Keith**
Yes, sire.
**[18:25] Edmond II**
You inherited your father's
sensitivity and craftsmanship.
**[18:28] Edmond II**
Your sugar confection is perfect.
**[18:31] Edmond II**
As a piece which imitates this world of ours,
**[18:34] Edmond II**
I can say it is the best.
**[18:38] Edmond II**
As a piece which imitates this world.
**[18:43] Keith**
I see! That's why I...
**[18:45] Edmond II**
No matter how detailed it may be,
**[18:47] Edmond II**
nothing created by man can compare
to the beauty of the real thing.
**[18:51] Edmond II**
In contrast, Anne Halford's piece...
**[18:54] Edmond II**
a fairy wing woven together
with climbing roses.
**[18:58] Edmond II**
She has given form to something
which can only be described as a vision.
**[19:03] Edmond II**
Even the scar left by
the flower she broke off...
**[19:06] Edmond II**
looks beautiful to me.
**[19:09] Keith**
I understand, sire.
**[19:15] Edmond II**
I will now make a declaration!
**[19:17] Edmond II**
Anne Halford's sugar confection...
**[19:20] Edmond II**
shall be awarded this year's Royal Medal.
**[19:23] Edmond II**
And the one who made this piece,
is this year's Silver Sugar Master!
**[19:30] Mithril**
You did it! Anne! It's the Royal Medal!
**[19:34] Mithril; background**
You did it!
**[19:34] Keith**
Go on, Anne.
**[19:35] Mithril; background**
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
**[19:36] Keith**
His Majesty and the others are waiting for you.
**[19:37] ---**
* My everyday life, which made me believe*
* that things would turn out as I’d imagined*
**[19:37] Mithril; background**
Yay! Yay! Yay!
**[19:38] Anne**
Me? The Royal Medal?
**[19:41] Hugh**
Come on, Miss Novice Silver Sugar Master.
**[19:42] ---**
* Says to me, “It wasn’t supposed*
* to be like this, was it?”*
**[19:45] Edmond II**
For the rest of your days...
**[19:46] ---**
*And it smiles softly, gently, as if teasing me*
**[19:46] Edmond II**
live in reverence of the sacred
as a maker of the sacred.
**[19:54] ---**
* But still I travel, under the vast sky,*
* through a town which isn’t on any map*
**[19:58] Anne; internal**
*Mama.*
**[20:03] Anne**
I will live!
**[20:03] ---**
* Those days when I just*
* kept running, flying forward*
**[20:04] Anne**
I will live as a maker of the sacred
for the rest of my days!
**[20:07] ---**
*And that day when I worried so, too*
**[20:11] ---**
* The truth is, it all linked together*
* to lead me here in the end*
**[20:12] Keith**
I am an idiot.
**[20:14] Keith**
It wasn't the time for me
to be worrying about you.
**[20:17] Keith**
But next year, I will receive it too.
**[20:19] ---**
*This road I have chosen myself*
**[20:20] Keith**
When I do, let's compete again.
**[20:22] Anne**
Yes!
**[20:23] ---**
*And the roads I have yet to travel*
**[20:23] Anne**
Um, Keith...
**[20:26] Anne**
Thank you.
**[20:27] ---**
* As long as I keep seeking them,*
* I’ll head toward tomorrow*
**[20:28] Anne**
Because you were there for me,
I was able to keep trying.
**[20:30] Keith**
You're thanking the wrong person.
**[20:33] Keith**
The one who convinced Bridget was Challe.
**[20:34] ---**
*I Will Go On*
**[20:36] Keith**
You have to hurry up and show him that medal.
**[20:38] Anne**
Yes! Then, Keith... I'll see you again!
**[20:43] Anne**
Challe!
**[20:45] Anne**
Look! It's the Royal Medal!
**[20:50] Challe**
You've managed to take hold of your future.
**[20:53] Challe**
You...
**[20:55] Challe**
no longer need me.
**[20:57] Anne**
What?
**[20:58] Anne**
Wait, Challe. What are you saying?
**[21:02] Challe**
I can't stay with you anymore.
**[21:05] Anne**
What do you mean?
**[21:07] Anne**
Did you get tired of being with me?
**[21:11] Anne**
Challe... Challe, what—
**[21:24] Challe**
I didn't want to let go.
**[21:35] Anne**
Why...
**[21:37] Elliott**
Well, this isn't good. A girl shouldn't be
sitting in a place like this.
**[21:41] Elliott**
Your dress will get dirty.
**[21:43] Anne**
Mister Collins?
**[21:45] Elliott**
Not knowing causes you sorrow, doesn't it?
**[21:48] Elliott**
Since I am the ally
of all women, I will tell you.
**[21:52] Elliott**
In order to make her tell him
where your silver sugar was, that fairy...
**[21:57] Elliott**
gave his wing to Bridget.
**[21:59] Anne**
His wing?
**[22:01] Elliott**
Yes.
**[22:02] Elliott**
For your sake, he sold his freedom.
**[22:07] Anne; internal**
*Wait.*
**[22:09] Anne; internal**
*Challe, you can't.*
**[22:11] Anne; internal**
*Please, wait!*
**[22:17] Anne; internal**
*Challe. Challe!*
**[22:19] Anne; internal**
*Please! Don't go!*
**[22:26] Anne**
Challe!
