[00:02] Duke
    How...
[00:05] Duke
    How...
[00:09] Duke
    did this happen?
[00:14] Narrator
    Death Incarnate dwells in the forest.
[00:18] Narrator
    He takes the life of whatever he touches.
[00:22] Narrator
    That was the curse the witch put on him.
[00:26] Narrator
    Why did the witch curse him?
    How can the curse be broken?
[00:31] Narrator
    The answer remains hidden.
[00:36] Narrator
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
SIGN    Episode 13
     The Duke, Alice, and the Magic Pool
[02:21] Alice
    Your Grace.
[02:23] Duke
    Alice, you scared me!
[02:25] Duke
    You're too close! But I guess
    you're always too close.
[02:27] Alice
    I knocked, but there was no answer.
[02:30] Duke
    Oh, yeah?
[02:32] Duke
    I guess I was focusing.
[02:34] Alice
    A card tower?
[02:36] Alice
    You're quite good with your hands.
[02:38] Alice
    The way you were panicking a moment ago,
[02:41] Alice
    I assumed you were by yourself because you
    didn't want me to see what you were doing.
[02:45] Duke
    What's that supposed to mean?
[02:46] Alice
    You have no idea at all?
[02:49] Duke
    No! So stay away from me!
[02:52] Duke
    You'll die if you touch me!
[02:55] Alice
    I couldn't help myself.
    The way you reacted was so cute.
[02:58] Duke
    Be careful!
[02:59] Duke
    If you died, I'd die too.
[03:02] Alice
    Why?
[03:03] Duke
    Why? Because I love you.
[03:07] Alice
    Oh my. That's even cuter, Your Grace.
[03:17] Duke
    I want Alice to think I'm cool, not cute!
[03:22] Duke
    Just watch! I'll do something
    awesome to impress her!
[03:26] Duke
    Well, she's certainly watching.
[03:29] Duke
    I want to concentrate on placing the cards.
[03:30] Duke
    Can you hand them to me?
[03:33] Alice
    Of course,
[03:33] Alice
    Your Grace.
[03:34] Duke
    Don't put them there!
[03:36] Alice
    I'll put some here, too.
[03:39] Duke
    I can't concentrate at all!
[03:42] Alice
    I love seeing you so serious.
[03:45] Duke
    Please, just let me focus!
[03:52] Duke
    I know I've got more important
    things I should be doing.
[03:57] Duke
    My mother gave me that time limit.
[04:01] Alice
    Yes.
[04:03] (Flashback) Mom
    You must break your curse
    by spring at the latest.
[04:08] Duke
    I don't like it, but...
[04:12] Duke
    In her own way, she'd been
    waiting for me this whole time.
[04:16] Duke
    I want to make her happy.
[04:18] Duke
    Honestly, I'd be fine with
    Walter becoming the next heir.
[04:22] (Flashback) Mom
    If you cannot, then I shall
    make Walter the heir.
[04:27] Duke
    Of course, I want to break the curse,
    and not because I want to be heir.
[04:31] Duke
    Cuff and Zain are helping me.
[04:33] Duke
    More than anything, I want to do it for you.
[04:37] Alice
    Your Grace...
[04:50] Duke
    Alice!
[05:17] Ringmaster
    Have you enjoyed this night
    filled with mystery and wonder?
[05:21] Ringmaster
    This concludes tonight's
    Circus Gemini performance.
[05:33] Hugo
    The crowd loved you, Cuff!
[05:35] Hugo
    Tonight's show was so cool!
[05:37] Hugo
    I never would've had this much
    fun if I'd stayed a pickpocket!
[05:42] Hugo
    Thanks for inviting me here, Cuff!
[05:45] Cuff
    You should thank the Ringmaster
    for inviting you here.
[05:50] Hugo
    Just you wait.
[05:51] Hugo
    I'll get even better at my tricks
[05:53] Hugo
    and become a big-time man who's worthy of you!
[06:00] Zain
    Hugo, you are far too young
    to be trying to seduce girls.
[06:04] Hugo
    Let me go, Zain!
[06:06] Hugo
    Or I'll rip that weird
    mask right off your face!
[06:07] Zain
    I'd like to see you try—
[06:09] Zain
    Ow! Ow!
[06:10] Zain
    Ringmaster!
[06:11] Zain
    He's bothering me! Make him go away!
[06:14] Ringmaster
    Sure.
[06:16] Ringmaster
    It's past your bedtime, kid.
[06:18] Hugo
    Do you all pick me up the same way?
[06:21] Hugo
    Why do you all pick me up the same way?
[06:23] Ringmaster
    I'm glad you guys came.
    The audience loves you.
[06:28] Ringmaster
    Night.
[06:29] Hugo
    Damn it!
[06:30] Hugo
    Cuff, good night!
[06:31] Hugo
    Zain, go screw yourself!
[06:33] Hugo
    See you tomorrow!
[06:34] Zain
    Right, good night!
[06:36] Zain
    That kid might not like me,
    but he's a hard worker.
[06:41] Zain
    He said he wants to work
    here and support his family.
[06:44] Cuff
    Yup. He was only stealing because
    he didn't have a choice.
[06:48] Cuff
    This is the first time I've ever been
    given a flower. I think I like it!
[06:52] Zain
    Well...
[06:54] Zain
    I'll get you a flower too, then!
[06:55] Zain
    One this big!
[06:58] Cuff
    Oh, uh, thanks.
[07:03] Zain
    Hey, Cuff.
[07:05] Zain
    How long are we going to stay here?
[07:07] Zain
    It's close to Alice and the Duke, and nobody
    asks questions about how I look, but...
[07:13] Cuff
    We need to get out of here before
    they find out we're witches.
[07:18] Cuff
    I don't want to cause
    problems for the circus.
[07:21] Cuff
    But... I don't want to leave this place.
[07:27] Zain
    Oh, right! I just remembered something!
[07:34] Zain
    Last time I went to the Witches' World,
[07:36] Zain
    I swiped some magic items
    while Daleth wasn't looking.
[07:40] Cuff
    You're no better than Hugo.
[07:42] Zain
    They were just sitting in an
    old storeroom. Nobody will notice.
[07:47] Zain
    And...
[07:48] Zain
    Daleth owes me.
[07:51] Zain
    She hasn't let me fondle
    even one of her boobs!
[07:54] Cuff
    And what?
[07:55] Zain
    No, nothing!
[08:00] Zain
    Here.
[08:06] Cuff
    Look at all this stuff!
[08:08] Cuff
    Let's take them with us next time
    we go see Alice and the Duke!
[08:11] Cuff
    One of them might help break his curse!
[08:15] Zain
    What do you want to live as?
    A witch or a human?
[08:20] Zain
    If you don't use your magic,
    you can pass as a human.
[08:25] Zain
    You've got friends here.
    You wouldn't be alone.
[08:30] Zain
    And it would be less dangerous
    than staying with me.
[08:35] Cuff
    I'm cold. Let me inside your jacket.
[08:44] Cuff
    I don't care if I'm a human or
    a witch... as long as I'm with you.
[08:50] Zain
    Oh. I see.
[08:54] Zain
    Boobs!
SIGN    Emptiness
[08:56] Zain
    Her boobs are touching me!
[09:00] Zain
    G Cup!
[09:08] Daleth
    Every time I see it, I want it more.
[09:12] Daleth
    The magic to control time...
[09:19] Daleth
    You agree, don't you, Sharon?
SIGN    There you are, Viola.
SIGN    I'm glad you're still here. I thought you might've gone to see the eldest son.
[09:54] Viola
    If I want to go, that's my choice, right?
[09:57] Viola
    Mother never told me I couldn't.
SIGN    That's our grandfather and grandmother.
[10:03] Viola
    Yes.
[10:04] Viola
    I know it's a painting, but still,
[10:06] Viola
    every time I see her, I can't
    help but think how cute she is.
[10:09] Viola
    I can see why Grandfather
    was so in love with her.
SIGN    Yes.
SIGN    She died in a carriage accident shortly after Father was born.
[10:18] Viola
    And he never remarried.
[10:22] Viola
    He was probably so lonely.
[10:29] Rob
    Perhaps I'm starting to see things...
[10:31] Cuff
    Sorry to interrupt!
[10:33] Duke
    Cuff?
[10:35] Cuff
    Was I really interrupting?
[10:37] Duke
    No, not at all!
[10:38] Alice
    It's been a while.
[10:40] Cuff
    The circus has been so busy lately
    that I haven't been able to drop by.
[10:45] Duke
    We're just glad you came.
[10:48] Duke
    We can't really go into town.
[10:52] Cuff
    I love it here 'cause I can
    use all the magic I want!
[10:55] Duke
    You'll burn the mansion down!
[10:57] Cuff
    Don't worry! These flames are magic,
     and do whatever I want!
[11:00] Cuff
    When they disappear, they leave
     nothing behind at all!
[11:02] Duke
    Well, that's okay, then.
[11:04] Duke
    But it's really hot in here now...
[11:07] Cuff
    Right?
[11:08] Cuff
    It's like the middle of summer, right?
[11:12] Cuff
    So let's take a dip in the pool!
[11:16] Duke
    Pool?
[11:18] Alice
    I recognize this design.
[11:20] Cuff
    Zain brought it from the Witches' World.
[11:22] Cuff
    Now that I've heated up the room,
[11:24] Cuff
    we can enjoy the pool even though
    it's the middle of winter!
[11:26] Cuff
    He even chose our swimsuits!
[11:28] Duke
    You sure can tell what he likes...
[11:30] Duke
    So, where is he?
[11:33] Cuff
    Oh, he's...
[11:34] (Flashback) Zain
    Listen carefully, Cuff.
[11:36] (Flashback) Zain
    When you go swimming with
    Alice in your swimsuits,
[11:38] (Flashback) Zain
    make sure you invite me!
[11:40] (Flashback) Zain
    It's dangerous for two girls
    to be in the water alone!
[11:43] (Flashback) Zain
    You need me to keep watch!
[11:45] (Flashback) Zain
    You need me, okay?!
[11:47] Cuff
    I left him at home.
[11:49] Cuff
    Anyway, Alice, let's get in the pool.
[11:52] Cuff
    It's so hot!
[11:53] Alice
    All right, just a moment.
[11:55] Duke
    What are you doing?
[11:56] Alice
    It's so hot in here, I thought I'd take
    off my clothes before getting my swimsuit.
[12:00] Duke
    Get the swimsuit first!
[12:01] Duke
    Both of you, please change in another room!
[12:05] Cuff
    I already changed, though.
[12:06] Duke
    That was fast!
[12:11] Duke
    I can't look...
[12:14] Duke
    And Alice is right here.
[12:17] Alice
    I'll go change in my room, then.
[12:27] Alice
    I have returned.
[12:30] Duke
    She's so cute...
[12:32] Duke
    You had your own swimsuit, then.
[12:35] Alice
    Yes.
[12:35] Alice
    I assumed I'd get a chance
    to show it to you someday.
[12:39] Cuff
    Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
[12:39] Alice
    You're not getting in the pool?
[12:42] Duke
    I'll pass.
[12:43] Duke
    You two have fun.
[12:45] Alice
    You can sit there and watch us...
[12:48] Alice
    all you like.
[12:49] Duke
    Okay...
[12:56] Cuff
    The water feels so good.
[12:58] Cuff
    Whee! Splash!
[13:00] Duke
    Alice is so pretty.
[13:04] Duke
    Zain is gonna be so mad later.
[13:07] Zain
    It's not fair!
[13:09] Duke
    Hey, Cuff.
[13:12] Duke
    You said you've been busy with the circus.
[13:14] Duke
    Do the people there know you're a witch?
[13:17] Cuff
    No, I don't think they do.
[13:20] Duke
    Why did you join the circus, anyway?
[13:23] Cuff
    Well...
[13:25] Ringmaster
    You guys ever thought
    about joining the circus?
[13:28] Ringmaster
    We don't get a lot of customers,
    but every day is fun!
[13:31] Cuff
    The place is always on the verge
    of bankruptcy, but it's a nice place.
[13:35] Cuff
    Lately we've had more customers, so it's busy.
[13:39] Duke
    I'd love to go see you some day.
[13:41] Duke
    Right, Alice?
[13:43] Alice
    Yes.
[13:43] Cuff
    Any time! We'd always be happy to see you!
[13:46] Alice
    Kyah!
[13:46] Alice
    Kyah! Kyah! Kyah!
[13:49] Duke
    She's so cute...
[13:52] Cuff
    Now it's your turn to splash
    me as hard as you can!
[13:55] Cuff
    We can have a splash fight!
[13:56] Alice
    Of course.
[13:59] Cuff
    You're so nice...
[14:02] Cuff
    What are you doing?
[14:05] Duke
    I thought I could help you feel
    like you're on a tropical island.
[14:10] Cuff
    It's not just the piano. You can paint, too.
[14:13] Duke
    Thanks.
[14:15] Duke
    Oh no... It's a little too hot.
[14:18] Duke
    I'm getting dizzy.
[14:22] Alice
    Your Grace.
[14:23] Alice
    You seem hot. Why don't you join us?
[14:28] Alice
    The water is cold and feels so good.
[14:31] Duke
    No, I... I don't like baring my skin.
[14:37] Duke
    Oh no!
[14:59] Duke
    Alice, are you okay?
[15:01] Alice
    Yes, I'm fine.
[15:05] Duke
    I need to make sure I'm staying hydrated.
[15:07] Alice
    It's hot. We need to be careful.
[15:10] Alice
    I've started to turn red myself.
[15:18] Cuff
    That was so much fun!
[15:21] Cuff
    I'm heading home, but you guys can have that.
[15:24] Duke
    Th-Thanks.
[15:26] Cuff
    And this is from Zain.
[15:28] Duke
    A box? What's inside?
[15:30] Cuff
    He didn't say.
[15:32] (Flashback) Z
    I randomly grabbed a bunch of stuff!
[15:34] (Flashback) Z
    So I'll have him try them out for me!
[15:37] Cuff
    That's what he said.
[15:38] Duke
    Am I his guinea pig?
[15:46] Rob
    Perhaps it's part of a series?
[15:49] Duke
    Yeah, probably.
[15:58] Duke
    "Sweet dreams."
[16:01] Duke
    What does it do, I wonder?
[16:03] Alice
    Something they use in the Witches'
    World to help them sleep, perhaps?
[16:05] Duke
    That would definitely be a nightmare.
[16:08] Duke
    Well, Zain gave it to me.
    It can't be that dangerous.
[16:13] Duke
    Rustle, rustle, rustle...
[16:16] Duke
    Pop!
[16:19] Duke
    Oh?
[16:24] Duke
    It's empty?
[16:27] Alice
    Your Grace?
[16:35] Duke
    What is this place?
[16:36] Alice
    Welcome, Your Grace.
[16:39] Duke
    Alice? Why are you dressed like that?
[16:41] Alice
    I'm a bunny girl.
[16:42] Duke
    No, I get that, but...
[16:44] Alice
    In this place, your wishes become real.
[16:48] Duke
    M-My wishes?
[16:50] Alice
    I see.
[16:52] Alice
    So this will allow me to see
    into your fantasies, then.
[16:55] Duke
    Alice?
[16:56] Duke
    No, this is...
[16:58] Alice
    You like bunny girls, then?
[17:00] Duke
    I'll get you for this, Zain!
[17:02] Alice
    Since this world is a fantasy,
    is it safe to touch His Grace?
[17:07] Alice
    Of course.
[17:08] Alice
    Would you like to touch me, Young Master?
[17:10] Alice
    I'll just watch.
[17:14] Duke
    Please, no!
[17:16] Duke
    O-Oh, what's behind that door?
[17:19] Alice
    Oh, this?
[17:21] Alice
    It contains more of your fantasies.
[17:24] Alice
    I'll show you around.
[17:26] Duke
    D-Do I have to go?
[17:28] Duke
    I've got the feeling Alice might see
    something even more embarrassing...
[17:32] Alice
    I'm very curious.
[17:35] Alice
    I want to see, too.
[17:36] Alice
    We agree, then.
[17:38] Duke
    You're the same person!
[17:40] Alice
    Let's just go.
[17:48] Alice
    Oh, look at all of me!
[17:50] Duke
    I'm so s-sorry.
[17:52] Alice
    There's nothing to apologize for.
[17:54] Alice
    Something like this is healthy, actually.
[17:57] Duke
    I'm feeling nothing but
    shame and embarrassment.
[18:00] Duke
    Why am I being forced to suffer like this?
[18:02] Alice
    I'm quite enjoying it.
[18:04] Alice
    I need to write down what
    you like before I forget.
[18:07] Duke
    Please no!
[18:08] Alice
    Okay, next.
[18:12] Viola
    Dear Brother!
[18:14] Duke
    Viola?
[18:14] Viola
    Um, there's something on this
    music sheet I can't read.
[18:18] Viola
    Tell me what this means again!
[18:20] Duke
    "Allegretto. Moderately fast,
     slower than allegro."
[18:24] Viola
    Thank you!
[18:25] Viola
    You're so amazing, Dearest Brother!
[18:27] Viola
    I'm so proud to be your little sister!
[18:30] Alice
    Is this a fantasy, too?
[18:32] Duke
    Yeah, and it's making me sad.
[18:35] Alice
    Let's keep going.
[18:51] Duke
    Wow...
[18:54] Duke
    If I could play the piano
    in a place like this...
[18:57] Duke
    It would be so much fun, I'm sure.
[19:00] Alice
    Will you play, then?
[19:03] Duke
    I can?
[19:04] Alice
    Yes. This is your fantasy, after all.
[20:02] Alice
    That was wonderful, Your Grace.
[20:05] Duke
    Thank you.
[20:07] Alice
    Did you enjoy that?
[20:09] Duke
    Yeah.
[20:10] Duke
    I know it's just my own fantasy, though.
[20:12] Alice
    This is a wonderful world.
[20:15] Alice
    Let's look around a little more.
[20:16] Duke
    Um, Alice, I'd rather call it a night...
[20:21] Alice
    I want to see the depths of your desire.
[20:24] Duke
    That's a really scary thing to say!
[20:48] Duke
    A-Alice, what did you see?
[20:52] Alice
    Your Grace, I didn't know you
    imagined me looking like that.
[20:57] Duke
    Wait, what?
[20:58] Duke
    There's more?
[20:59] Alice
    Now, let's get going.
[21:01] Duke
    H-Hold it! What did you see? Alice? Alice!
[21:02] Alice
    I'll show you to the exit.
[21:11] Duke
    I loved playing the piano,
    but this box is scary.
[21:14] Duke
    Zain, why did you give me this?
[21:17] Alice
    I'll put this away.
[21:19] Duke
    Yeah. Make sure you lock it up tight.
[21:23] Alice
    It did make me happy, though.
