SIGN    Royal Capital Secondary
    Estate of Duke Kadlecek
[00:00] Kadlecek
    You have my thanks for coming here.
[00:03] Kadlecek
    It's a pleasure to see
    you again, Lord Morteln.
SIGN    Leader of the Royal Capital's
    Central Army Duke Kadlecek
[00:06] Casserole
    The feeling is most mutual, Your Grace.
[00:11] Casserole
    Congratulations on your
    eldest's heir coming of age.
[00:15] Kadlecek
    Well... he may have grown,
    but he's just a child.
[00:20] Casserole
    It's an honor to be invited to a banquet
[00:24] Casserole
    held by the leader of the central army.
[00:28] Kadlecek
    It's flattering to hear that
    from a hero of your stature!
[00:32] Kadlecek
    This is my grandson, Squale.
[00:34] Kadlecek
    He graduated first in his class
    at the officers' boarding school.
SIGN    Squale
[00:38] Casserole
    That's magnificent!
[00:40] Squale
    I-It's an honor to meet you, my lord!
[00:45] Casserole
    It's a true pleasure to
    meet you, Lord Squale.
[00:48] Casserole
    As your are my superior in rank,
[00:51] Casserole
    I would entreat you to call me "Casserole."
[00:53] Squale
    F-Forgive my error!
[00:56] Kadlecek
    Unclench already, boy.
[00:58] Kadlecek
    Forgive him, Lord Morteln.
[01:01] Kadlecek
    He's told me how he idolizes you, and he's
     been looking forward meeting you.
[01:06] Kadlecek
    It appears the minstrels have made tales
    of your exploits popular among the youth.
[01:14] Casserole
    I can think of no greater honor.
[01:17] Kadlecek
    And this would be... your son?
[01:20] Casserole
    Yes.
[01:21] Casserole
    Pas, introduce yourself.
[01:27] Pas
    I am truly honored to make your acquaintance.
[01:29] Pas
    I am the son of Casserole
    Mille Morteln, Pastry.
[01:40] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[01:45] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[01:49] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[01:53] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[01:59] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
[03:38] Pas
    Lord Squale,
SIGN    Sweet Matchmaking Photos and Twin Ladies
[03:39] Pas
    my most heartfelt congratulations on
    your recent ascension to manhood.
[03:44] Pas
    Your granting of this auspicious
    audience has been a true honor for me.
[03:47] Squale
    Huh? Oh, r-right!
[03:50] Squale
    Your elegant words f-flatter—
    m-my most unwor—
[03:53] Squale
    Ow.
[03:55] Kadlecek
    Magnificent!
[03:57] Kadlecek
    You're more put-together
    than my own grandson!
[04:00] Kadlecek
    I heard you've come of
    age as well, Lord Pastry.
[04:05] Kadlecek
    Were you endowed with magic at that time?
[04:07] Pas
    Yes.
[04:08] Pas
    By the grace of God, I was
    blessed with the use of magic.
[04:15] Kadlecek
    For both father and son to be so gifted...
[04:17] Kadlecek
    Truly, House Morteln must
    have earned God's favor.
[04:22] Pas
    As wonderful as the thought might be,
[04:24] Pas
    it may be no more than coincidence.
[04:28] Pas
    I believe luck was with me, nothing more.
[04:34] Kadlecek
    Would you be so kind as
    to demonstrate your magic?
[04:39] Pas
    If Your Grace so wishes it.
[04:42] Pas
    Might I ask you to hold out that cloth, then?
[04:46] Kadlecek
    Yes, most certainly!
[04:56] Pas
    Replicate!
[05:04] Kadlecek
    This is magnificent!
[05:07] Kadlecek
    I see. A spell that lets
    you create pictures...
[05:10] Kadlecek
    It's truly spectacular!
[05:12] Pas
    I thank you, Your Grace.
[05:15] Pas
    If I may, I wish to offer it as
    a gift to Lord Squale Kadlecek.
[05:21] Pas
    On behalf of myself and Margrave Hubarek.
[05:25] Kadlecek
    Margrave Hubarek?
[05:27] Kadlecek
    He doesn't appear to be
    in attendance today.
[05:30] Kadlecek
    Could it be... that this girl is...?
[05:33] Pas
    Indeed.
[05:34] Pas
    Third daughter of Margrave Hubarek,
[05:36] Pas
    the lady Petra.
[05:39] Pas
    Prior to our arrival here,
[05:40] Pas
    my father used his magic to
    visit the Margravate of Hubarek,
[05:44] Pas
    whereupon we met with them.
[05:46] Casserole
    As you know, the margravate is
    constantly feuding with its neighbor.
[05:52] Casserole
    As this creates challenges for Lady
    Petra in leaving their territory,
[05:55] Casserole
    the margrave asked if we might
    introduce her on his behalf.
[06:00] Squale
    This is Lady Petra?
[06:03] Squale
    She's so charming!
[06:07] Pas
    Next month,
[06:08] Pas
    Lady Petra will be holding a celebration
    for her own imminent coming of age.
[06:12] Pas
    She had hoped to have Lord Squale in
    attendance as an expression of friendship.
[06:17] Kadlecek
    I'm afraid we—
[06:18] Squale
    I'd love to!
[06:19] Kadlecek
    My fool of a grandson!
[06:22] Kadlecek
    Responding so quickly without
    considering his station!
[06:25] Kadlecek
    Can't he see they're trying
    to arrange a marriage?
[06:29] Kadlecek
    This boy...
[06:31] Kadlecek
    I can't underestimate him
    just because he's a child.
[06:34] Squale
    What day next month will it be?
[06:37] Kadlecek
    Calm yourself, Squale.
[06:39] Kadlecek
    How do you intend to travel there?
[06:43] Pas
    There's no need to worry
    about that, Your Grace.
[06:46] Kadlecek
    What?
[06:47] Pas
    My father would be more
    than willing to assist.
[06:50] Squale
    That's right, Grandfather!
[06:53] Squale
    With the use of Lord Morteln's magic,
     I'd easily be able to attend!
[07:00] Squale
    Lord Morteln! May I truly
    ask this imposition of you?
[07:03] Casserole
    It's no trouble at all.
[07:06] Kadlecek
    Heaven's sake...
[07:08] Pas
    Your Grace.
[07:12] Pas
    At the time of our visit,
[07:14] Pas
    it appeared to me that Lord
    Hubarek had ulterior motives.
[07:17] Kadlecek
    Ulterior motives?
[07:19] Pas
    I believe he's grown weary
    of the constant border feuds.
[07:26] Kadlecek
    How is that relevant?
[07:31] Pas
    I believe he'd like to use the awesome
    military power Your Grace controls
[07:34] Pas
    to diminish his opponent's will to fight
[07:36] Pas
    and end the feuding forever.
[07:41] Pas
    I believe he may be seeking
    a match for that purpose.
[07:47] Kadlecek
    I see.
[07:50] Kadlecek
    I'll bear that in mind. Thank you.
[07:53] Pas
    All merely my own speculation, of course.
[07:57] Kadlecek
    Out of respect for his invitation,
    I shall attend the festivities as well!
[08:03] Kadlecek
    Perhaps my son will find
    his romantic destiny,
[08:06] Kadlecek
    and it will surely make a good
    story to take back to His Majesty!
[08:11] Pas
    Bellowing it out like that to make
    sure those around us hear...
[08:15] Kadlecek
    I place myself in your hands, Lord Morteln.
[08:19] Casserole
    My lord.
[08:22] Pas
    He's declared intent to
    keep the king informed
[08:24] Pas
    and to act in accordance with the
    best interests of the kingdom.
[08:37] Squale
    Lord Pastry Morteln.
[08:40] Squale
    In honor of this occasion,
    would you be willing to call me Squale?
[08:45] Squale
    I'm a bit uncomfortable with formalities.
[08:48] Pas
    Gladly done.
[08:49] Pas
    Then I'll ask you to call me Pastry as well.
[08:53] Squale
    I'll do that.
[08:54] Squale
    By the way, Lord Pastry...
[08:56] Pas
    Yes?
[08:57] Squale
    What kinds of things does Lady Petra like?
[09:01] Squale
    Flowers, for instance,
    or a particular cuisine...
[09:03] Pas
    Things she likes?
[09:05] Pas
    Let me see...
[09:07] Pas
    I've only met her once, but...
[09:12] Pas
    It appears she likes sweets.
[09:14] Squale
    Sweets?
[09:15] Pas
    I presented her with handmade
    cookies when we first met.
[09:19] Squale
    Are you skilled at making
    sweets, Lord Pastry?
[09:23] Pas
    I most certainly am!
[09:26] Pas
    I'm never happier than
    when I'm making sweets!
[09:31] Pas
    In fact, I recently made a pie with
    bonkas I'd bought here in the capital—
[09:35] Squale
    Um... do you think we might
    discuss that another time?
[09:41] Pas
    Oh, forgive me...
[09:44] Squale
    So, er...
[09:48] Squale
    I... I have a favor to
    ask of you, Lord Pastry!
[09:51] Pas
    I'd be glad to provide any service I can.
[09:54] Squale
    It's something that only you can do!
[09:57] Pas
    You want me to make sweets?!
[10:01] Pas
    Leave it all to me! We'll start with—
[10:04] Squale
    It's about Lady Petra's portrait...
[10:05] Pas
    What?
[10:07] Squale
    Could you alter it, perhaps?
[10:08] Pas
    Alter it?
[10:11] Squale
    Could you perhaps enhance its sensuality?
[10:19] Pas
    Men are all the same...
    in any age, in any world...
[10:29] Mob
    Let's go!
[10:33] Casserole
    The provision of food and firewood
    among the citizens is going smoothly.
[10:39] Feuille
    And it's all on House Morteln's tab, right?
[10:43] Feuille
    Did you really have to do
    this all yourself, boss?
[10:46] Casserole
    What do you mean by that?
[10:48] Feuille
    A lord so eager to enrich his subjects
    that he goes off to earn his own money...
[10:52] Feuille
    It's pretty unheard of.
[10:54] Casserole
    It may not be the dignified thing to do,
[10:57] Casserole
    but I'd hardly be living up to my
    responsibilities if I let my subjects starve.
[11:03] Feuille
    Well, that indulgent side of
    yours is part of your charm.
[11:07] Casserole
    I'll need you to work all the harder
    to compensate for my indulgent side.
[11:12] Feuille
    You could afford to show me a
    little indulgence, you know...
[11:18] Pas
    What are we indulging in? Sweets?
[11:21] Casserole/Feuille
    No.
[11:23] Pas
    Aw, shucks.
[11:26] Feuille
    Everything's about sweets for you, huh, kid?
[11:30] Pas
    Father, these letters came for you.
[11:33] Casserole
    Did they? Thanks.
[11:35] Pas
    One is from Duke Kadlecek.
    The other is from Margrave Hubarek.
[11:50] Pas
    What do they say?
[11:52] Casserole
    Rejoice, Feuille, Pas.
[11:54] Casserole
    We've got a windfall coming.
[11:57] Casserole
    It says 20,000 silver coins here.
[11:59] Feuille
    Awesome!
[12:00] Pas
    Lord Squale's been engaged
    to Lady Petra, then?!
[12:05] Casserole
    Yes.
[12:06] Casserole
    It appears they've decided to announce it
    privately when Lady Petra comes of age.
[12:12] Pas
    It was worth spending all those
    hours on the matchmaking photo!
[12:17] Pas
    After all, to get that photo...
[12:20] Pas
    It took two whole days to produce
    one that the margrave approved of!
[12:29] Casserole
    And he's going to send an
    advance of thirty gold coins.
[12:33] Feuille
    How very generous of him!
[12:35] Feuille
    Maybe you can build yourself
    a grand estate, boss!
[12:39] Casserole
    Don't be a fool.
[12:40] Casserole
    It's funding for Lady Petra's security.
[12:44] Pas
    Security?
[12:45] Casserole
    He's requested that we
    keep her safe to, from,
[12:48] Casserole
    and during her coming of age
    announcement in the capital.
[12:53] Feuille
    I see.
[12:55] Feuille
    There are plenty of people out there who
    would oppose the idea of a marriage
[12:59] Feuille
    between Houses Hubarek and Kadlecek.
[13:01] Casserole
    Yes.
[13:02] Casserole
    The neighbor they're feuding
     with in particular.
[13:06] Feuille
    But they're keeping the
    engagement secret, right?
[13:09] Feuille
    As long as the information doesn't get out...
[13:12] Pas
    It's the Church, right?
[13:16] Casserole
    Officially, the Church is a neutral entity,
[13:20] Casserole
    but a large enough bribe
    can loosen their tongues.
[13:24] Pas
    And the fact that they're officially neutral
[13:27] Pas
    allows them to collect a
    whole lot of information...
[13:31] Feuille
    Sheesh, what a pain in the neck!
[13:33] Casserole
    I can protect Lady Petra herself well enough
    with just my teleportation spell, but...
[13:39] Pas
    Yes, it won't be easy.
[13:41] Pas
    Looking after Lady Petra
[13:43] Pas
    while also transporting her
    retinue and guards to the capital
[13:46] Pas
    would prove difficult, even for you.
[13:48] Casserole
    And assuming I teleport just
    Lady Petra to the capital,
[13:53] Casserole
    we would need to secure guards for her there.
[13:56] Pas
    So that's what the gold's for, right?
[13:59] Feuille
    But even if you try to
    recruit aid in the capital,
[14:01] Feuille
    there's a good chance unsavory
    elements might infiltrate your hires.
[14:06] Feuille
    Should we turn the job down?
[14:08] Casserole
    Don't be a fool.
[14:09] Casserole
    Nothing will better secure
    our position than to earn
[14:13] Casserole
    the trust of two of the
    kingdom's major players.
[14:16] Casserole
    To ensure the prosperity of the
    Fief of Morteln, I must accept.
[14:22] Pas
    Yes, and it's not just
    for the Fief of Morteln.
[14:27] Pas
    To make my dream of a land
    of sweets a reality...
[14:31] Pas
    we must make this mission a success.
[14:36] Pas
    If not for the risk of the
    Church leaking information...
[14:40] Pas
    The Church?
[14:42] Feuille
    Kid?
[14:43] Casserole
    What's this about the Church, Pas?
[14:45] Pas
    I just thought of a great place
    where we can keep Lady Petra safe!
[14:49] Casserole
    What?
[14:50] Pas
    A place with no windows
    and only one entrance
[14:53] Pas
    surrounded by thick walls...
[14:56] Casserole
    The True Sanctification ritual chamber?
[14:59] Feuille
    Of course! That's a great idea!
[15:02] Pas
    Since she's going to the capital for
    her coming of age announcement anyway,
[15:06] Pas
    it's natural that she'd undergo
    the Sanctification Ceremony.
[15:10] Pas
    If we just tell people that
    it's running a bit long...
[15:14] Feuille
    So we lock Lady Petra in until
    the engagement is announced!
[15:18] Pas
    "Lock her in" sounds a bit unsavory...
[15:21] Pas
    We're keeping her safe from outside elements.
[15:25] Feuille
    It might just work.
[15:26] Casserole
    Right. Let's try it.
[15:28] Feuille
    Yes!
[15:29] Feuille
    And if we don't have to hire mercenaries,
    we can pocket those thirty gold coins!
[15:34] Pas
    There's also this.
[15:35] Pas
    A receipt for materials from
    the traveling merchant.
[15:39] Pas
    Please see to it.
[15:40] Casserole
    I will.
[15:42] Pas
    If you'll excuse me, then.
[15:44] Casserole
    Hold on, Pas.
[15:46] Pas
    Wh-What is it, Fathe—
[15:50] Casserole
    What's this about a crate of
    bonkas and a barrel of sugar?
[15:57] Feuille
    The kid's making sweets again, huh?
[16:00] Casserole
    Did you spend all this
    money without telling me?
[16:05] Pas
    Tee-hee!
[16:07] Casserole
    Don't you titter at me, you fool of a son!
SIGN    Bonk
[16:12] Casserole
    No allowance for you until I say otherwise!
SIGN    Estate of Margrave Hubarek
[16:24] Hubarek
    Lord Casserole, thank you for coming.
SIGN    Donachel Mille Hubarek
[16:30] Casserole
    We're honored that you came to
    meet us in person, Lord Hubarek.
[16:34] Hubarek
    And your son is with you today?
[16:37] Casserole
    Yes, as we're escorting Her Ladyship.
[16:41] Casserole
    Like it or not, she may be
    waiting for quite a long time.
[16:46] Casserole
    Having someone closer to her own age
    might keep her from getting bored.
[16:50] Casserole
    I can't exactly tell him my nine-year-old
    son is in on the plan.
[16:56] Pas
    It's a pleasure to see you again.
[16:58] Hubarek
    Your magic is why we were blessed
    with this marriage, Lord Pastry.
[17:03] Hubarek
    I owe you my thanks.
[17:04] Pas
    You honor me.
[17:06] Hubarek
    Now, to the carriage.
[17:09] Hubarek
    My daughter is already on board.
[17:14] Petra
    Lord Morteln!
[17:16] Petra
    Thank you for accompanying me.
[17:19] Casserole
    Lady Petra, I have never seen
    you looking more lovely.
[17:24] Petra
    My, what a flatterer!
[17:26] Pas
    Lady Petra, I'm glad to see you well.
[17:30] Petra
    Lord Pastry.
[17:31] Petra
    Thank you for the cookies
    you recently gifted me.
[17:35] Pas
    I'm thrilled to know that you enjoyed them.
[17:38] Pas
    I'll seek some occasion to send you more.
[17:41] Petra
    How delightful!
[17:43] Petra
    I've been dreaming about them ever since.
[17:45] Petra
    They were truly delicious!
[17:47] Pas
    When I was mixing in the
    flour, I added a little—
[17:51] Casserole
    Pas, we're in a hurry.
[17:53] Pas
    F-Forgive me!
[17:57] Pas
    Lady Licorice, a pleasure to see you again.
[18:00] Licorice
    Yes...
[18:01] Petra
    Lico, try to be a bit more forthcoming.
[18:04] Petra
    He kindly traveled all this
    way to escort us, after all.
[18:08] Licorice
    Forgive me, Sister.
[18:10] Petra
    Don't apologize to me, now.
[18:13] Petra
    Lord Pastry, I do hope she hasn't upset you.
[18:17] Pas
    No, not at all.
[18:22] Hubarek
    Let's move out.
[18:27] Petra
    Can you make things other than cookies?
[18:29] Pas
    Of course I can!
[18:32] Licorice
    I'm just... an afterthought, after all.
[18:38] Pas
    The plan today
[18:40] Pas
    is to enter the church within
    the margravate's borders
[18:43] Pas
    under claim of receiving
    a True Sanctification.
[18:47] Pas
    From there, we'll teleport
    to the church in the capital.
[18:53] Pas
    Then, in the capital,
[18:55] Pas
    Lady Petra enters the chamber
    until announcement time,
[18:58] Pas
    while we all stand guard.
[19:00] Pas
    That's the basic idea.
[19:02] Pas
    It's true! And every bonka is unique...
[19:04] Hubarek
    As expected, those seeking to harm
    my daughter are making their move.
[19:06] ---
    
[19:08] ---

[19:10] Hubarek
    I'm counting on you, Lord Casserole.

[19:15] Casserole
    My men are already making
    preparations in the capital.

    I swear, I will protect your daughter.

[19:39] Caera
    Now, milady, we've arrived.
[19:42] Petra
    Right.
[20:06] Pas
    They're coming!
[20:13] Bandit 1
    They're inside the carriage!
[20:16] Hubarek
    No!
[20:19] Caera
    My ladies!
[20:28] Bandit 2
