    Perpetuate existence.
[00:14] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[00:28] ---
    She has forced Naenia
    to take a bodily form!
[00:33] ---
    I've thought about this ever so long.
[00:37] ---
    How could I end this perpetual nightmare?
[00:42] ---
    How could I lay hands
    upon this incorporeal thing?
[00:51] ---
    At last.
[00:53] ---
    Now, even I could slay you.
[00:57] ---
    There is something I wish you to know.
[00:59] ---
    My father told me,
[01:01] ---
    "Those born into the nobility
    must protect their fief's people.
[01:05] ---
    The d'Apchier family
    takes pride in doing that."
[01:09] ---
    Therefore, no matter what they do to me
    or how much I wish to kill them,
[01:14] ---
    I could never hate the people
    of the d'Apchier fiefdom!
[01:17] ---
    I love them!
[01:19] ---
    It is the sworn duty
    of those born a d'Apchier.
[01:22] ---
    But you, I cannot forgive,
[01:24] ---
    for you took my one, my only,
[01:27] ---
    and laid hands upon him.
[01:30] ---
    You defiled Jean-Jacques's true name.
[01:34] ---
    I shall never forgive that.
[01:36] ---
    As I told you,
[01:38] ---
    I am a terribly jealous woman.
[03:06] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[03:17] ---
    What is that sound?!
[03:20] ---
    W-We have a problem, Captain!
[03:22] ---
    I'm picking up tremendous
    waves of energy from that castle.
[03:26] ---
    I believe the engine
    may have been activated!
[03:32] ---
    To the castle!
[03:34] ---
    Astolfo, wait!
[03:36] ---
    This is not good.
[03:38] ---
    Something is going on in there.
[03:44] ---
    Vanitas!
[03:45] ---
    Are you all right?! Vanitas!
[03:55] ---
    Mademoiselle Chloé?! Naenia?!
[03:58] ---
    You're harder to kill than I thought.
[04:08] ---
    Does it hurt? Are you in pain?
[04:10] ---
    Can you feel my rage?
[04:14] ---
    Don't... do this.
[04:15] ---
    Vanitas.
[04:17] ---
    Do not provoke Naenia anymore than this.
[04:41] ---
    Oh, the pain!
[04:45] ---
    It hurts so bad!
[04:46] ---
    It hurts!
[04:58] ---
    Chloé! Release her from bodily form!
[05:01] ---
    Don't make her remember who she really is!
[05:04] ---
    You won't be able to kill it!
[05:21] ---
    B-Brother... what was that?
[05:26] ---
    Calm yourself, Luca.
[05:30] ---
    We tried so very hard to destroy her body.
[05:35] ---
    It seems there were still
    some remains scattered about.
[05:39] ---
    Isn't that right, my queen?
[05:56] ---
    That oppressive force,
    it turns my stomach!
[06:03] ---
    What is happening?
[06:10] ---
    My body won't stop trembling.
[06:14] ---
    It will not let me defy
    the presence before me.
[06:33] ---
    Mademoiselle Chloé!
[06:34] ---
    No! She'll come after you, too!
[06:37] ---
    Vanitas, what is happening?
[06:40] ---
    That thing, Naenia, what is it?
[06:43] ---
    That is Naenia, Death's Keeper.
[06:53] ---
    It is the malnomen of Queen Faustina,
    the first vampire of the crimson moon.
[06:59] ---
    Her Majesty, the Queen?
[07:07] ---
    This is bad!
[07:08] ---
    Her malady was forcibly manifested!
    She'll spiral out of control!
[07:22] ---
    Jean-Jacques!
[07:36] ---
    Chloé?
[08:06] ---
    C-Captain! We're floating in thin air!
[08:09] ---
    The whole place is floating!
[08:13] ---
    The engine halted!
[08:15] ---
    Naenia will be disembodied once more!
[08:30] ---
    I almost forgot.
[08:32] ---
    I must seek out more names.
[08:51] ---
    Vanitas!
[08:57] ---
    You will fail.
[08:59] ---
    You will never reach him.
[09:02] ---
    No one can save him.
[09:04] ---
    All is lost.
[09:06] ---
    So why do you keep reaching out?
[09:12] ---
    Hurry up and join us.
[09:22] ---
    What the devil was that?
[09:27] ---
    What happened?
[09:28] ---
    Where are we?
[09:30] ---
    Our village is gone?
[09:31] ---
    It's so cold.
[09:33] ---
    Look!
[09:34] ---
    The villagers of Saugues, no doubt.
[09:36] ---
    Vanitas.
[09:37] ---
    Curse that wretched Naenia.
[09:39] ---
    Why couldn't she just quietly disappear?
[09:42] ---
    She truly is rotten to the core.
[09:45] ---
    Listen to me, Noé.
[09:46] ---
    Chloé d'Apchier's malnomen
    creates a space that protects her.
[09:51] ---
    And as it spirals out of control,
    it corrupts an ever wider area,
[09:55] ---
    drawing in every living thing in its path.
[09:58] ---
    It will devour everyone in Gévaudan
    if we don't do something.
[10:09] ---
    You knew?!
[10:10] ---
    You should have filled me
    in if you knew about all this!
[10:13] ---
    What?!
[10:14] ---
    And not just about Chloé!
    About Naenia, too!
[10:18] ---
    I wasn't sure about
    her true identity till now!
[10:20] ---
    And I don't like willy-nilly conjecture!
[10:23] ---
    Got a problem with that?!
[10:24] ---
    I do!
[10:26] ---
    If you'd told me, things would've
    turned out different!
[10:30] ---
    Or not. There's no way to know for sure!
[10:32] ---
    But maybe we could have done something!
[10:35] ---
    --I could've--
[10:36] ---
    --You wouldn't have believed me!
    --I could've--
[10:38] ---
    You vampires never listen to humans!
[10:42] ---
    Do you even realize how many times
    I've nearly been slain by your kind?!
[10:47] ---
    And we're talking about
    your queen this time!
[10:49] ---
    Yes, but I--
[10:51] ---
    Did you already forget how
    Lord Ruthven nearly did me in?!
[10:54] ---
    You complete moron!
[10:59] ---
    I believe you!
[11:08] ---
    Ouch! Stop it!
[11:09] ---
    You make me sick!
[11:11] ---
    What's that for?
[11:12] ---
    You really make me sick!
[11:13] ---
    That hurts.
[11:17] ---
    So? What now?
[11:19] ---
    Oh, um...
[11:21] ---
    You haven't given up on
    Chloé d'Apchier, have you?
[11:26] ---
    Of course not!
[11:32] ---
    Wolves?!
[11:43] ---
    I'll let Vanitas handle this while I...
[11:45] ---
    No, I better not.
[11:47] ---
    These are no ordinary wolves.
[11:51] ---
    There's no time!
[11:54] ---
    What shall I do?!
[11:55] ---
    Let's have at them, Durendal.
[12:03] ---
    I thought it was you two.
[12:05] ---
    I always knew we'd meet again.
[12:10] ---
    I am ever grateful
    for God's guiding light.
[12:14] ---
    Thank you, O Lord!
[12:28] ---
    Roland!
[12:34] ---
    Orcas?!
[12:35] ---
    Forgive me, but those
    are Chasseur transports.
[12:38] ---
    Things might go south
    if they were to spot you.
[12:41] ---
    It was quite a shock.
[12:44] ---
    We were suddenly caught in
    a blizzard on the way to Saugues.
[12:47] ---
    Then mountains began to crumble,
    and wolves attacked.
[12:51] ---
    The Beast of Gévaudan
    must be behind all this.
[12:56] ---
    Don't tell me Roland is here
    to kill the Beast, too?
[12:59] ---
    Actually...
[13:01] ---
    So what's the plan?
[13:03] ---
    If you two are here,
[13:06] ---
    there must be a curse-bearing
    vampire at the center of all this.
[13:11] ---
    What can I do to affect
    a more peaceful resolution?
[13:21] ---
    Roland!
[13:22] ---
    That fool!
[13:24] ---
    He vanished, leaving us in the lurch.
[13:27] ---
    You wish to help us? But why?
[13:31] ---
    How can you say that?
[13:33] ---
    I thought it was obvious
    that I'm quite fond of you two.
[13:39] ---
    Me, too! I'm quite fond... of you!
[13:43] ---
    I thank you both!
[13:45] ---
    Don't drag me into this!
[13:48] ---
    Don't let the people
    of Gévaudan die, Roland.
[13:52] ---
    Fulfilling her duty as a d'Apchier
    gives meaning to Chloé's life.
[13:58] ---
    So if she were to lose control and
    kill even one denizen of this region,
[14:03] ---
    there would be no saving her.
[14:06] ---
    And even if we did save her,
    there would be no salvation for her soul.
[14:11] ---
    Can you do that?
[14:14] ---
    Leave it to me.
[14:17] ---
    However, I am here as
    a paladin of the Chasseurs.
[14:21] ---
    If the situation gets much worse,
[14:23] ---
    I will not hesitate to
    start beheading vampires.
[14:28] ---
    Don't force me to slay the Beast.
[14:36] ---
    Now that that's settled,
    it's time to get to work!
[14:39] ---
    You two take care of what only you can do!
[14:48] ---
    Hauteclaire.
[14:50] ---
    You will break it again if you
    keep handling it so roughly.
[14:54] ---
    What?
[14:57] ---
    You always did fight in
    a most uncivilized manner.
[15:00] ---
    Hold your tongue!
[15:01] ---
    Where were you?!
[15:02] ---
    Yes, about that, Olivier.
[15:06] ---
    May I ask you to do me a favor?
[15:09] ---
    No, you cannot.
[15:11] ---
    In that case,
[15:12] ---
    I need, let's see... I'd say
    about 30 minutes of your time.
[15:15] ---
    We are going on a rescue mission!
[15:18] ---
    I already said no!
[15:20] ---
    But you don't agree
    with the order, do you?
[15:22] ---
    Huh?
[15:23] ---
    The order that said, "Slay every
    vampire you encounter in Gévaudan."
[15:28] ---
    We're not at war here.
[15:30] ---
    Killing innocent vampires will only
    lead to problems that are far worse.
[15:36] ---
    It's almost as if the Church
    is trying to cover up something.
[15:41] ---
    That doesn't sit well with me.
[15:48] ---
    So I'd like to speak with the
    curse-bearer up there without killing her.
[15:54] ---
    Speak with a curse-bearer?
    Don't tell me...!
[15:57] ---
    Those two are at it again?!
[16:03] ---
    Well, what do we have here?
[16:05] ---
    Georges! Maria!
[16:07] ---
    Olivier and I will destroy
    this abomination!
[16:10] ---
    The rescue effort is your top priority!
[16:12] ---
    I don't want a single casualty!
[16:14] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:15] ---
    It's been ages since
    I fought by your side.
[16:19] ---
    Then let's be quick about it!
[16:38] ---
    Where am I?
[16:41] ---
    Who am I?
[16:43] ---
    You are but a puppet and nothing more.
[16:48] ---
    You need but be a tool.
[16:50] ---
    A vessel needs not a will of its own.
[16:53] ---
    Think not.
[16:55] ---
    Have not wants nor wishes.
[16:58] ---
    Fail in this, and we
    shall claim your head.
[17:03] ---
    I am a puppet.
[17:05] ---
    Nothing but a tool.
[17:12] ---
    Little girl, are you all alone?
[17:16] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:22] ---
    Yes, we've decided to
    raise the child ourselves.
[17:28] ---
    It is a pleasure to meet you, Jeanne.
[17:31] ---
    I am Ruthven.
[17:33] ---
    Henceforth, I want you to see and
    learn all you can under my tutelage.
[17:37] ---
    You must learn about this world.
[17:43] ---
    Mother. Father. I'll see you again soon!
[17:58] ---
    Your mother and father
    betrayed the vampires.
[18:02] ---
    Their betrayal led to the death
    of our brethren in untold numbers.
[18:06] ---
    Children must atone
    for their parent's sins.
[18:09] ---
    No longer are you a vampire.
[18:12] ---
    You are a tool, a bourreau.
[18:17] ---
    Think not.
[18:19] ---
    Have not wants nor wishes.
[18:22] ---
    Fail in this, and...
[18:26] ---
    So that's why.
[18:27] ---
    I didn't do what I was told.
[18:30] ---
    But they took my parents'
    heads instead of mine.
[18:38] ---
    I am a bourreau.
[18:40] ---
    I am but a tool.
    I need only follow my orders.
[18:46] ---
    So you're... the Hellfire Witch?
[18:50] ---
    Go on, quickly now.
[18:54] ---
    Use your fangs, your talons,
    your flames, and...
[19:00] ---
    Jeanne.
[19:10] ---
    Think not.
[19:12] ---
    Have not wants nor wishes.
[19:15] ---
    Fail in this, and...
[19:17] ---
    No. Please.
[19:19] ---
    I will slay her. Please!
[20:09] ---
    Jeanne?
[20:11] ---
    Jeanne!
[20:19] ---
    Lord Ruthven.
[20:25] ---
    Jeanne, do not forget
    the oath you just swore.
[20:34] ---
    You shall now enter a long slumber.
[20:39] ---
    You shall sleep until the war ends
    and all can live in peace.
[20:44] ---
    Use this time to heal both body and mind.
[20:53] ---
    Yes, I had forgotten.
[20:56] ---
    For that dream was so very long.
[21:00] ---
    It made me forget that I was a puppet,
[21:02] ---
    and that I must have no will of my own.
[21:07] ---
    I must kill Chloé this time.
    I must not fail.
[21:13] ---
    Chloé d'Apchier is not the Beast.
[21:16] ---
    You've seen it with your own eyes.
[21:18] ---
    That doesn't matter.
[21:20] ---
    Lord Ruthven ordered me to put
    an end to the trouble in Gévaudan.
[21:25] ---
    But he never told you to kill her.
[21:28] ---
    Do you realize how many lives
    the Beast of Gévaudan has claimed?
[21:32] ---
    I have no choice but to slay it.
[21:36] ---
    And Chloé is a curse-bearer.
[21:39] ---
    Bourreaus must execute
    curse-bearers that have lost control.
[21:46] ---
    It's too late now.
[21:49] ---
    She's beyond help.
[21:51] ---
    That's why I must--
[21:52] ---
    It's not too late!
