[00:01] Lambert
    For now, make yourselves at home.
[00:04] Lambert
    Not that it's my home either.
[00:06] Lambert
    I'll have some tea and snacks served.
[00:09] Mia (Young)
    Oh, my! Snacks!
[00:11] Sion
    I appreciate the gesture,
[00:13] Sion
    but I don't imagine there's
     an abundance of time.
[00:16] Sion
    Let's get straight to the matter at hand.
[00:18] Lambert
    My, what impressive intensity.
[00:21] Lambert
    As I would expect of
    His Highness Sion Sol Sunkland.
[00:24] Lynsha
    Sion?!
[00:25] Lynsha
    The prince of Sunkland?
[00:28] Sion
    You know who I am?
[00:30] Lambert
    But of course.
[00:32] Lambert
    Otherwise, I wouldn't have permitted you
    to remain armed as I led you here.
[00:37] Sion
    So, why did you lead us here when we're
    potential obstacles to the revolution?
[00:44] Lambert
    We have hopes of receiving
    support from your kingdom.
[00:47] Sion
    Don't speak of it so lightly.
[00:50] Sion
    Mobilizing the military is
    a major national matter.
[00:54] Lambert
    That statement is out of character for
    someone who so prizes justice and fairness.
[00:59] Sion
    Even assuming my kingdom would support you,
[01:01] Sion
    there's no guarantee you
    can hold out until then.
[01:06] Lambert
    This is halfway between the capital
    and Count Donovan's lands.
[01:11] Lambert
    In other words...
[01:13] Sion
    You mean to divide the
    Adamant Infantry from the capital.
[01:17] Sion
    You'll hit their supply line.
[01:21] Sion
    Even if their direct route
    to the capital is cut off,
[01:23] Sion
    they're still in their own country.
[01:25] Sion
    They can get supplies from nearby.
[01:29] Sion
    But it would take time to arrange that.
[01:32] Sion
    Some temporary confusion and disarray
    among the soldiers would be inevitable.
[01:36] Sion
    If he stirred a rebellion in this
    town in anticipation of that...
[01:42] Sion
    then this man is not to be taken lightly.
[01:44] Narrator
    Sion's wariness of Lambert went up a level.
[01:49] Narrator
    Mia, meanwhile...
[01:55] Mia (Young)
    These cookies... Not only are they
    beautiful, but they're delicious, too!
[01:59] Mia (Young)
    This man is quite good.
[02:03] Mia (Young)
    He's not to be taken lightly!
[02:05] Narrator
    Miraculously, their opinions aligned.
SIGN    Capital
[03:40] Narrator
    Remno could truly boast two things
    in comparison to other nations:
SIGN    Xenia
[03:45] Narrator
    The vast highways set up within the kingdom,
SIGN    Donovan
[03:48] Narrator
    and a military with high mobility
    predicated on those roads.
SIGN    Episode 11: A Reunion, a Duel, and...
[03:54] Narrator
    If one were to strengthen it further...
[03:59] Sion
    Forces planned for invasion
    of other nations...
[04:03] Sion
    So that's what the heavy
    taxes were levied for.
[04:06] Lambert
    However, the royal government deployed
[04:09] Lambert
    the excessively powerful
     Adamant Infantry to suppress the people.
[04:18] Sion
    There are a variety of
    circumstances at play, but...
[04:21] Sion
    After levying heavy taxes on the people,
[04:23] Sion
    they imprisoned the vassal
    who spoke for the people.
[04:26] Sion
    Isn't that on its own enough
    to be considered unfit to rule?
[04:31] Sion
    I only intended to come as
    Princess Mia's escort. But now...
[04:44] Sion
    I almost let myself get carried away.
[04:49] Lambert
    Prince Sion should be made an ally,
[04:52] Lambert
    but Jem said Princess Mia
    might obstruct the revolution.
[05:00] Lambert
    I need to have Princess Mia
    keep her mouth shut.
[05:06] Lambert
    I imagine you've had an
     eventful day and must be tired.
[05:09] Lambert
    You can stay the night here if you like.
[05:12] Lambert
    I can't say it measures up to a palace,
    but there is a large bath and beds.
[05:16] Mia (Young)
    Oh, my! A bath!
[05:19] Lambert
    In the end, she's just a child.
[05:21] Lambert
    She seems easy enough to coax.
[05:23] Narrator
    A correct calculation to make.
[05:27] Sion
    Don't you think that was a
    careless decision, Princess Mia?
[05:31] Mia (Young)
    Why, whatever do you mean?
[05:34] Sion
    Since they're angling for
    Sunkland's military assistance,
[05:38] Sion
    I imagine they won't harm you.
[05:41] Sion
    But still, that doesn't mean
    it's wise to stay the night.
[05:45] Mia (Young)
    Oh, my.
[05:46] Sion
    Is something wrong, Princess Mia?
[05:50] Mia (Young)
    For Remno shampoo,
     this lathers somewhat poorly.
[05:55] Mia (Young)
    I suppose this means the one
    Prince Abel gave me was special.
[06:00] Lynsha
    You really are an imperial princess.
[06:04] Lynsha
    Incidentally, what was
    the name of the shampoo?
[06:07] Mia (Young)
    I don't remember the name,
[06:09] Mia (Young)
    but I remember it had an
    adorable image of a horse on it.
[06:15] Lynsha
    That's...
[06:16] Mia (Young)
    It was a very nice shampoo.
[06:19] Lynsha
    Oh, I... see.
[06:22] Lynsha
    That's... wonderful...
[06:25] Narrator
    Lynsha decided to say nothing.
[06:31] Mia (Young)
    This mushroom stew is delicious.
[06:35] Revolutionary
    Lord Lambert! Emergency!
[06:41] Sion
    I didn't imagine the situation
    would progress so quickly.
[06:46] Mia (Young)
    Did something happen?
[06:48] Lambert
    I just received a report from my comrades.
[06:51] Lambert
    The royal government's military has been
    deployed to a fortress on the highway.
[06:54] Mia (Young)
    Royal government...
[06:58] Lambert
    The one leading them is the
    second prince, Abel Remno.
[07:02] Mia (Young)
    Oh, my! Prince Abel!
[07:05] Mia (Young)
    I'm so glad I got to take a bath yesterday!
[07:09] Sion
    If a member of the royal family
     is personally leading,
[07:13] Sion
    the objective is to rouse
    the Adamant Infantry.
[07:17] Sion
    So that's the path you've
    chosen, Prince Abel?
[07:24] Sion
    Mia, you want to go there, right?
[07:27] Mia (Young)
    What? Uh, no, but...
[07:30] Sion
    Well, even if you aren't going, I am.
[07:33] Sion
    In fact, it would probably make things
    easier if you didn't come along.
[07:38] Mia (Young)
    Huh? Why?
[07:41] Sion
    I have some things I need to ask Prince Abel.
[07:45] Sion
    Depending his answers...
[07:46] Sion
    I may have to carry out what
    I mentioned to you the other night.
[07:56] Sion
    I can't just sit back and watch
    the populace get slaughtered.
[08:04] Mia (Young)
    Are you... going to kill Prince Abel?
[08:08] Sion
    I hope I won't have to.
[08:11] Mia (Young)
    I don't want Prince Abel to die.
[08:14] Mia (Young)
    And of course I don't want
    Prince Sion to, either.
[08:17] Mia (Young)
    Most of all,
[08:18] Mia (Young)
    I don't want them to try to kill each other
    while I have no idea what's going on!
[08:25] Mia (Young)
    Prince Sion!
[08:28] Mia (Young)
    I, too..
[08:30] Mia (Young)
    I, too, shall glow!
[08:35] Narrator
    Mia messed up the delivery!
[08:40] Jem
    Tell me, are you of a
    mind to work with us now?
[08:47] Dasayev
    I don't consider His Majesty to
    have made a decisive mistake, Jem.
[08:55] Dasayev
    I shall explain every way I can
    until he heeds my protest.
[09:01] Dasayev
    I am not so naïve as to succumb to
    some strange man's enticements.
[09:09] Bernard
    Prince, what is your decision?
[09:11] Bernard
    I see no reason to give them any more time.
[09:15] Bernard
    Fortunately, the walls of Xenia are low,
[09:18] Bernard
    and the barricades the rebels built are weak.
[09:22] Bernard
    It should not prove difficult to breach.
[09:27] Abel
    My duty as prince...
[09:31] Soldier with a message
    Report! Movement in the city!
[09:34] Bernard
    Have they sent a messenger?
[09:36] Soldier with a message
    No, but you see, two kids showed up and
    are seeking an audience with Prince Abel.
[09:41] Bernard
    Foolish.
[09:42] Bernard
    For rebel elements to dare seek
    an audience with His Highness...
[09:46] Soldier with a message
    Uh, well, sir, they're not just any kids.
[09:49] Soldier with a message
    They say they're His Highness's schoolmates.
[09:53] Sion
    Excuse me.
[09:57] Abel
    Prince Sion! Why are you here?
[10:00] Abel
    Hold on. Don't tell me that means...
[10:08] Mia (Young)
    It's been a long time, Prince Abel.
[10:11] Abel
    Princess Mia!
[10:13] Abel
    If you had come to see me, I'd be overjoyed.
[10:17] Mia (Young)
    Oh? What other reason should
    there be for me to come here?
[10:22] Abel
    It might be true that she came to see me.
[10:27] Abel
    But I'm sure her greater purpose
    is to settle this foolish conflict.
[10:34] Abel
    I imagine Princess Mia probably
    wouldn't take my side in this...
[10:38] Abel
    Still, I must...
[10:42] Abel
    What about you, Prince Sion?
[10:47] Abel
    I don't expect you'll say the same as
    Princess Mia, that you came to see me.
[10:53] Sion
    No. I originally intended
    only to guard Princess Mia.
[10:59] Sion
    But with things having gone this far,
    I can't just stay silent.
[11:03] Sion
    It's a little sooner than I'd imagined,
[11:07] Sion
    but I think I'll fulfill the
    promise I made for a rematch.
[11:11] Mia (Adult)
    What?
[11:14] Abel
    Does that mean you're
    challenging me to a duel?
[11:19] Bernard
    Pay him no mind!
[11:21] Bernard
    Prince Abel, a prince leading an army
    needn't participate in single combat.
[11:26] Abel
    Stand down, Bernard.
[11:28] Abel
    The prince of Sunkland has challenged me to
    a duel in pursuit of his view of justice!
[11:36] Abel
    Should I refuse him,
    it will affect the troops' morale.
[11:41] Abel
    Besides, I can't back down with her watching.
[11:46] Abel
    Prince Sion, I accept your challenge.
[11:50] Mia (Young)
    Wh-What? That's strange...
[11:53] Mia (Young)
    I did say that I came
    to see Prince Abel, right?
[11:59] Mia (Young)
    In all the stories,
    isn't this the part where they hug,
[12:03] Mia (Young)
    and then the mood changes,
    and everything gets solved?
[12:14] Abel
    Bernard, I'm giving you a special order.
[12:18] Abel
    Stay at Princess Mia's side and protect her.
[12:21] Mia (Young)
    Prince Abel!
[12:23] Abel
    We'll need the princess to serve as
    witness that our duel was proper.
[12:30] Mia (Young)
    Don't do this! Don't duel!
[12:32] Abel
    I wish we could have enjoyed
    our reunion more...
[12:37] Abel
    I wish...
[12:41] Abel
    I sound so full of regret.
[12:44] Mia (Young)
    Prince Abel!
[12:49] Sion
    Did Mia's words not get through to you?
[12:52] Abel
    No matter who asks, I cannot stop.
[12:57] Abel
    You ought to understand my position.
[13:00] Sion
    You'll sacrifice yourself for
    a rotten royal authority?
[13:03] Abel
    Even if it is rotten, the royal
    authority is still necessary.
[13:06] Abel
    A world without order will wind up bringing
    even greater suffering to the masses.
[13:11] Abel
    If the authority is as corrupt as you say,
     then my role is to correct it.
[13:21] Sion
    If you intend to aid in the
    oppression of your people,
[13:26] Sion
    then fall before my sword.
[13:46] Sion
    Such force, even without perfect form.
[13:52] Sion
    I see I wasn't the only one
    training for our rematch.
[13:57] Abel
    I have to surpass a prodigy.
[14:01] Abel
    That requires putting in the effort!
[14:06] Guard
    Wh-Who are you people?
[14:22] Sion
    You get out of range by
    closing in even further, eh?
[14:25] Sion
    You're good, Abel Remno.
[14:27] Abel
    Likewise. You don't disappoint, Prince Sion.
[14:40] Soldier 1
    I-Incredible...
[14:43] Abel
    The force of his strikes is increasing.
[14:45] Abel
    Has he been adjusting the range as he fights?
[14:49] Abel
    That's a prodigy for you.
[14:53] Abel
    I can't hold out any longer...
[14:55] Abel
    But I can't let her see
    me looking disgraceful.
[15:02] Abel
    Assume your stance, Prince Sion.
[15:04] Abel
    This will be our final clash.
[15:12] Mia (Young)
    Please, stop this already!
[15:14] Mia (Young)
    You'll both really die!
[15:24] Mia (Young)
    In the end, my words don't
    get through to them.
[15:29] (Flashback) Populace
    Buzz off!
[15:29] (Flashback) Populace
    Stupid girl!
[15:30] (Flashback) Mia
    All of you, please! Listen
    to what I have to say!
[15:38] Mia (Young)
    It's just like back then...
[15:41] Narrator
    Before someone who has picked up
    a sword and resolved to fight,
[15:45] Narrator
    words are ultimately powerless.
[15:48] Mia (Young)
    Sion. Prince Abel...
[15:51] Narrator
    Is that true?
[15:52] Mia (Young)
    I'm begging you. Please...
[15:55] Narrator
    Will Mia's entreaties, her pleas,
    really reach no one?
[16:01] Narrator
    No!
[16:02] Mia (Young)
    Don't die!
[16:04] Narrator
    That's not what happens!
[16:06] Narrator
    Even though Mia's pleas have failed
    to reach the combat-locked princes,
[16:10] Narrator
    the bonds she forged will
    carry her wishes through!
[16:16] Narrator
    But to who?
[16:22] Narrator
    To her reliable, loyal retainers!
[16:29] Dion
    We can't have this.
[16:37] Dion
    Don't you think your mischief
    has gone a bit too far, my princes?
[16:42] Dion
    Our princess is a crybaby, so might
    I ask you not to distress her too much?
[16:47] Mia (Young)
    Mr. Dion...
[16:49] Bernard
    Knave! How dare you ruin a
    sacred duel between royalty!
[16:56] Dion
    Yeah, I get your point.
[16:58] Dion
    As a retainer, you've been enduring
    the risk to your prince,
[17:01] Dion
    so I suppose you don't like me butting in.
[17:04] Dion
    But you see, the one I pledged my
    sword to is neither of His Highnesses.
[17:09] Bernard
    Silence! Your affront
    shall be met with death!
[17:24] Bernard
    You cut iron?!
[17:27] Dion
    Well, my lord is watching,
    so I need to perform.
[17:34] Ludwig
    Both of you, that's quite enough!
[17:39] Mia (Young)
    Anne!
[17:41] Anne
    Princess Mia, I'm so glad you're safe.
[17:47] Mia (Young)
    Anne!
[17:49] Mia (Young)
    Anne! Anne!
[17:53] Ludwig
    Enough! You are in Her Highness
    Princess Mia's presence!
[17:56] Ludwig
    Both of you, put down your weapons at once!
[18:00] Narrator
    This was superb and ingenious
    stage-setting by Ludwig.
[18:05] Narrator
    After overwhelming the mighty knight Bernard,
[18:09] Narrator
    Dion obediently complied
    and put down his sword,
[18:13] Narrator
    thus placing Mia firmly in
    charge of the situation.
[18:18] Mia (Young)
    Huh?
[18:19] Mia (Young)
    Why is everyone looking at me?
[18:24] Ludwig
    Go on. The rest lies with you, Your Highness.
[18:28] Mia (Young)
    What?!
[18:29] Mia (Young)
    Don't tell me they're expecting a speech...
[18:34] Anne
    We're right by your side.
[18:36] Mia (Young)
    They are expecting one?
[18:41] Mia (Young)
    Th-This is kinda scary!
[18:54] Mia (Young)
    Everyone, lend me your ears!
[18:57] Mia (Young)
    I am Mia Lunya Tearmew—!
[19:03] Narrator
    Mia bit her tongue.
[19:06] Narrator
    Her eyes were slightly wet
    with tears from the pain.
[19:11] Ludwig
    She just captured the
    soldiers' hearts with that!
[19:14] Mia (Young)
    I can't take it!
[19:15] Anne
    Princess Mia, you can do it!
[19:18] Mia (Young)
    Hey, wait. What am I supposed to talk about?
[19:22] Narrator
    Mia has no plan to stop Remno's army.
[19:26] Narrator
    To begin with, the whole reason
    Mia came this far was to see Abel.
[19:31] Mia (Young)
    Wh-Wh-What do I do?
[19:35] Mia (Young)
    F-For now, I better... I better
    start saying something!
[19:43] Mia (Young)
    Soldiers of the Remno army,
[19:46] Mia (Young)
    I ask that you return to the capital
    without ever drawing your swords.
[19:51] Bernard
    Absurd! You're telling us to do nothing
    about the rebels and just turn back?
[19:57] Mia (Young)
    He's scary!
[20:00] Narrator
    Due to Bernard's intensity,
    Mia's brain finally kicked into gear.
[20:06] Mia (Young)
    I-It's ridiculous, after all!
    For you to fight.
[20:11] Narrator
    "Your opponents are rabble. Not worth
    engaging for such fine knights as yourselves."
[20:17] Narrator
    Mia hit them with this,
    her best, full-power shot.
[20:23] Sion
    Ridiculous, huh...
[20:26] Sion
    That reminds me. You said something
     curious before, that something felt off?
[20:32] Mia (Young)
    That's right. I did say that!
[20:36] Mia (Young)
    I mean, what I've seen in the
    Kingdom of Remno is completely different
[20:39] Mia (Young)
    from the situation the
    Tearmoon Empire was in before.
[20:44] Mia (Young)
    And yet...
[20:46] Mia (Young)
    Outland Count Rudolvon
    and Chancellor Donovan.
[20:49] Mia (Young)
    Civil war arises due to harm to
    aristocratic allies of the people.
[20:54] Mia (Young)
    And in both cases,
[20:55] Mia (Young)
    it's Sunkland that swoops in to save
    the people suffering under tyranny.
[21:00] Mia (Young)
    A coincidence like that in two places
    with completely different conditions...
[21:04] Mia (Young)
    It doesn't add up at all!
[21:07] Mia (Young)
    It's as if somebody is setting things up
    to make Sunkland executors of justice.
[21:14] Mia (Young)
    That's it.
[21:16] Mia (Young)
    This appears to be a cunning plot.
[21:19] Mia (Young)
    Oh? But how do I explain this?
[21:23] Mia (Young)
    I can't afford to explain
    the previous timeline.
[21:26] Mia (Young)
    Um... Um...
[21:29] Bernard
    A cunning plot...
[21:31] Bernard
    Your Highness, you mean this rebellion was
    designed by someone to divide our nation,
[21:38] Bernard
    and that to be puppeted into killing
    our fellow countrymen is ridiculous?
[21:43] Bernard
    Is that what you mean to suggest?
[21:46] Mia (Young)
    Huh?
[21:48] Bernard
    And could that also be why Prince Sion
    risked himself to stop Prince Abel?
[21:53] Sion
    No, I—
[21:55] Mia (Young)
    You came here to protect me,
[21:59] Mia (Young)
    so if my objective is to
    stop this cunning plot,
[22:04] Mia (Young)
    then is it not fair to say at least
    half of why you came was that?
[22:08] Mia (Young)
    It is, isn't it?
[22:10] Sion
    Well I suppose it wouldn't be entirely
    inaccurate to put it that way...
[22:14] Mia (Young)
    Well, how was that? That got us
    out of this situation, didn't it?
[22:21] Bernard
    Your Highness, I'm afraid that
    even if we assume this to be true,
[22:26] Bernard
    it doesn't change the fact that we must
    dismantle the rebel army and restore order.
[22:34] Bernard
    Since the taxes will not be lowered,
[22:37] Bernard
    I do not believe they will put
    down their weapons so easily.
[22:42] Mia (Young)
    You're mistaken. The aim of the uprising
    is to demand Count Donovan's release.
[22:51] Bernard
    Prince Abel, have you heard
    anything from His Majesty
[22:54] Bernard
    about Count Donovan being jailed?
[22:56] Abel
    No, this is the first I've heard of it.
[22:59] Dion
    Princess Mia, I'm sure you have
    an idea where he's being held,
[23:06] Dion
    but don't you think he may
    have already been killed?
[23:09] Mia (Young)

[23:12] Keithwood

[23:18] Tiona
    Sorry we're late, everyone.
[23:21] Mia (Young)
    Lady Tiona!
[23:23] Sion
    Keithwood! You're all right!
[23:25] Keithwood
    I bring good news!
[23:28] Keithwood
    Actually, for us, I suppose
    it may be bad news.
[23:32] Mia (Young)
