**[00:01] Narrator**
* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narrator**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:14] Narrator**
* His own mother distanced herself from him.*
* His friends called him a monster.*
**[00:19] Narrator**
*Even people he'd never met spoke of him as*
**[00:20] Narrator**
*"Death Incarnate who dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narrator**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:30] Zain**
How many times do we have to go over this?
**[00:32] Zain**
You can't have an omelet without ketchup.
**[00:34] Cuff**
It's demi-glace sauce.
**[00:35] Cuff**
Why? 'Cause demi-glace sauce tastes good.
**[00:37] Zain**
So does ketchup!
**[00:41] Duke**
You guys are lucky. You can tell each
other exactly how you're feeling.
**[00:45] Duke**
I'm jealous.
**[00:46] Zain**
Huh? If you want to say something
to Alice, then why don't you say it?
**[00:50] Duke**
Hmm? But I'm not really
upset with her or anything.
**[00:56] Alice**
Excuse me.
**[01:01] Duke**
Alice...
**[01:02] Duke**
Stop being so cute all the time!
**[01:06] Alice**
You're so handsome all the time, too.
**[01:09] Duke**
That wasn't what I expected
to hear, but I'll take it!
**[01:12] Zain**
Go home!
**[01:13] Zain**
I guess this is your house, though.
***SIGN*** Episode 14
The Duke, Golf, and the Mysterious Beauty
**[02:47] Alice**
Oh, Your Grace.
**[02:49] Alice**
It's your first time, but you're so good.
**[02:52] Duke**
Would you try not to sound so weirdly sexy?
**[02:55] Duke**
I'm just playing mini-golf!
**[02:57] Alice**
You're wonderful, Your Grace.
**[02:59] Duke**
I missed.
**[03:01] Alice**
You hit it a little too hard, I see.
**[03:03] Duke**
Why golf, though?
**[03:06] Alice**
I thought it would serve to fix your lack
of exercise, and give you a change of pace.
**[03:12] Alice**
I just wanted to play with you, Your Grace.
**[03:14] Duke**
So cute!
**[03:18] Alice**
Let's not worry about the rules.
Just aim for the flag and hit it.
**[03:24] Duke**
That motion has nothing to do with golf!
**[03:34] Duke**
Wow!
**[03:36] Duke**
Is there anything you can't do?
**[03:39] Alice**
Perhaps I'm good at it because
it's like sweeping with a broom.
**[03:44] Alice**
I'll show you the trick, if you like.
**[03:46] Duke**
Yes, please.
**[03:48] Alice**
Eyes on the ball, and don't look up.
**[03:53] Alice**
It will send your swing off target.
**[03:54] Duke**
Okay.
**[03:57] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[03:58] Duke**
What?
**[03:59] Alice**
Don't turn around. Just look at the ball.
**[04:05] Alice**
When we're so close, it makes me
feel kind of hot. What about you?
**[04:08] Duke**
You're the one who got close to me!
**[04:14] Duke**
*Don't tell me she's stripping!*
**[04:17] Alice**
That's not where the ball goes, Your Grace...
**[04:21] Duke**
*This is a living hell!*
**[04:23] Duke**
*Golf is a scary sport!*
**[04:24] Alice**
Now try hitting it.
**[04:29] Alice**
Don't try to swing hard or soft.
**[04:31] Alice**
Just raise the club up and swing
it through evenly.
**[04:33] Alice**
For instance, if you raised it this high,
swing it through that much.
**[04:38] Duke**
*Not only did I not get that,*
**[04:40] Duke**
* she was flirting with me as*
* casually as if she was breathing.*
**[04:43] Alice**
Imagine a clock. If you raised it
to 7 o' clock, swing to 5 'o clock.
**[04:48] Alice**
Or 9 to 3.
**[04:50] Alice**
Or 12 to 12.
**[04:54] Duke**
Okay. I wouldn't swing a
putter that hard, though.
**[05:01] Duke**
*Don't look up. Focus on the ball.*
**[05:05] Duke**
*Swing it through as much as you raised it up!*
**[05:15] Duke**
I did it!
**[05:16] Alice**
Wonderful, Your Grace.
**[05:17] Duke**
Yeah, it's so nice to learn something new!
**[05:20] Song**
*Hole in One!*
**[05:22] Song**
*All I'm doing is putting a ball into a hole*
**[05:28] Song**
*So why, so why, is golf so much fun?*
**[05:33] Song**
*Your bold approach*
**[05:36] Song**
*Tee shot, make some tea*
**[05:39] Song**
*It fell into the lake!*
**[05:42] Song**
*You're so great, Your Grace!*
**[05:45] Song**
*Golf, golf, let's all fall in love with golf*
***SIGN*** You want me to dress up like a girl?
**[05:58] Viola**
No, I want to practice makeup on your face!
**[06:04] Viola**
You know, Mom won't let me do my own makeup.
**[06:08] Viola**
And I don't want to ask the maids.
***SIGN*** Sure, if you want.
**[06:12] Viola**
That's my big brother, Walter!
**[06:14] Viola**
He's a nut, but he gets me!
***SIGN*** That doesn't sound like a compliment at all.
**[06:18] Viola**
All right, now let's get to work on your face!
**[06:23] Viola**
First the foundation, then some eyeliner...
**[06:26] Viola**
Add a wig, and then change your clothes...
**[06:30] Viola**
And we're done!
**[06:31] Viola**
Look! Look!
***SIGN*** Impossible...
***SIGN*** This is me?!
**[06:38] Viola**
Don't start taking a liking to it.
**[06:40] Viola**
Hey, why don't you go to the villa
and show it to my dear brother?
***SIGN*** To the eldest?
***SIGN*** I'll do it!
***SIGN*** Because today, I am super-cute!
***SIGN*** I'll make him fall in love with me and tell Mother all about it!
***SIGN*** And then I shall become the heir!
**[06:58] Viola**
*He's such a scumbag.*
***SIGN*** Bam!
***SIGN*** I call it... Project Honeytrap!
***SIGN*** Now hurry and get ready to go, Viola!
***SIGN*** Before my cuteness fades!
**[07:10] Viola**
Well, this should be fun, at least!
***SIGN*** Ha ha! I'm so cute!
**[07:25] Duke**
I guess that one was too weak.
**[07:27] Duke**
Golf's hard.
**[07:30] Alice**
You're getting better, Your Grace.
**[07:32] Duke**
I am?
**[07:34] Viola**
There you are, Dear Brother!
**[07:37] Duke**
Viola and... who?
**[07:39] Viola**
Our new maid!
**[07:41] Viola**
She says she's a fan of yours, so I brought her.
**[07:44] Duke**
A fan? Of me?
**[07:46] Viola**
That's right!
**[07:47] Viola**
She was all, "A curse?! That's so cool!
He's totally my type!"
**[07:51] Duke**
Oh, I see.
**[07:52] Duke**
But why doesn't she talk?
**[07:54] Viola**
She's too nervous to talk!
**[07:58] Walter**
* The fool has no idea what*
* I've got in store for him!*
**[08:01] Walter**
*Kneel in awe before me!*
**[08:03] Walter**
*Initiate Project Honeytrap!*
**[08:07] Walter**
*Stare at me! Come on! Stare!*
***SIGN*** What's going on?
***SIGN*** Most men would react more if a girl flashed her legs, right?
***SIGN*** Is he some kind of psychopath?
**[08:27] Duke**
*She started showing me her legs, too.*
**[08:30] Duke**
*Is that just a maid thing?*
**[08:36] Viola**
Okay, I'll go find Rob!
**[08:39] Viola**
You three have fun!
**[08:42] Duke**
Wait, Viola!
**[08:43] Walter**
*She abandoned me already!*
**[08:45] Viola**
*This is hilarious!*
**[08:47] Viola**
*Continue feeling awkward, Brothers!*
**[08:51] Duke**
U-Um... want to play some golf?
**[08:58] Duke**
I'll go first, then.
**[09:02] Duke**
*Is it true that she's a fan of mine?*
**[09:04] Duke**
*It doesn't sound possible.*
**[09:08] Walter**
*His skills are nothing special.*
**[09:10] Walter**
* If seduction won't work, I'll need*
* to think of something else!*
**[09:14] Alice**
*His Grace looks so sexy playing golf!*
**[09:20] Duke**
Um, you want to go second?
**[09:23] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:24] Duke**
You can have my second putter.
**[09:25] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:25] Duke**
And my second ball.
**[09:26] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:26] Duke**
Sound good?
**[09:28] Walter**
*Second!*
**[09:30] Walter**
*He's always like this!*
**[09:31] Walter**
* From the very bottom of his heart,*
* he mocks me for being the second son!*
**[09:34] Duke**
Um, you okay?
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
**[09:40] Duke**
* "If I get a hole in one,*
* please go out with me"?*
**[09:43] Duke**
Wh... Wh... What?
**[09:45] Walter**
*Well?*
**[09:46] Walter**
* You may not know me well, but it must*
* make you happy to hear that from a girl!*
**[10:02] Walter**
*Distance is 30.*
**[10:05] Walter**
*No wind. Oaken floor.*
**[10:15] Duke**
"Please marry me like you promised"?
**[10:18] Duke**
Marry you? I didn't promise that!
**[10:21] Duke**
"It's the same."
**[10:23] Duke**
"Let's have the ceremony immediately."
**[10:25] Duke**
"Prepare yourself."
**[10:26] Duke**
N-No...
***SIGN*** Let's have the
ceremony immediately.
***SIGN*** Prepare yourself.
**[10:29] Alice**
No.
**[10:31] Alice**
No!
**[10:34] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[10:36] Alice**
I forgot my place.
**[10:37] Duke**
*She's so cute.*
**[10:38] Duke**
*She pulled it over her head...*
**[10:41] Duke**
Um, I'm sorry if I'm just
being arrogant here...
**[10:46] Duke**
But there's someone I'm in love with,
so I can't give you what you want.
**[10:52] Duke**
I'm willing to be friends, though.
***SIGN*** Die!
***SIGN*** Farewell!
***SIGN*** Farewell!
**[11:04] Duke**
Aah!
**[11:06] Duke**
Her voice kind of sounded like Walter.
**[11:10] Alice**
Did it?
***SIGN*** Perhaps I wasn't cute enough.
***SIGN*** Will you instruct me further in the Viola Method?
**[11:22] Viola**
Nope!
**[11:41] Cuff**
Don't stare so much, Zain. I'm practicing.
**[11:44] Zain**
What's the problem? You're good!
**[11:46] Cuff**
Don't! You're distracting me!
**[11:48] Hugo**
Cuff! I brought you juice!
**[11:52] Zain**
She's practicing.
**[11:54] Zain**
Scram, kid. Cuff doesn't like sweet stuff.
**[11:56] Cuff**
I love juice!
**[11:59] Hugo**
And I love you, Cuff.
**[12:03] Zain**
Careful. He might've put
something weird in it.
**[12:06] Hugo**
I did not!
**[12:08] Hugo**
Stop acting like her boyfriend!
**[12:09] Hugo**
You're not dating, right?
**[12:12] Cuff**
We're childhood friends.
**[12:14] Zain**
That's right.
**[12:15] Zain**
"Cuff said no so fast
**[12:16] Zain**
It hurt Zain's feelings really bad
**[12:17] Zain**
Now he feels blue
**[12:18] Zain**
5-7-5, but not quite"
**[12:21] Cuff**
Thanks, Hugo.
**[12:23] Hugo**
I'll work hard!
**[12:25] Hugo**
I'll be a big man for you, Cuff.
**[12:29] Cuff**
You're funny.
**[12:32] Zain**
*I know Cuff only sees Hugo as a kid.*
**[12:36] Zain**
*But I really do* not *like this!*
**[12:40] Ringmaster**
You need to win the heart of your precious
Cuff soon, or Hugo might take her!
**[12:45] Zain**
Ringmaster?
**[12:47] Ringmaster**
The customers will be
here soon. Head backstage.
**[12:50] Ringmaster**
We'll start the show like always.
**[12:52] Zain**
O-Okay.
**[12:55] Ringmaster**
You've got it rough, Cuff.
**[12:57] Cuff**
Not at all. Every day is fun.
**[13:00] Cuff**
I love the circus!
**[13:03] Cuff**
Everyone is always so happy.
**[13:04] Ringmaster**
Glad to hear it.
**[13:06] Ringmaster**
The circus is the best
entertainment there is.
**[13:08] Ringmaster**
All are welcome, both as
performers and guests.
**[13:11] Ringmaster**
That's why I don't care who you
are, and I won't ask questions.
**[13:16] Ringmaster**
But it sounds like a fun story, so I'm curious.
**[13:19] Ringmaster**
Tell me any time you feel like it, I guess.
**[13:37] Ringmaster**
The show's about to start.
**[13:39] Ringmaster**
Thanks to all your work,
we've got a packed house today.
**[13:43] Ringmaster**
Fun. Fascinating. But safety first.
**[13:47] Ringmaster**
Stay sharp out there.
**[13:49] All**
Yes, sir!
**[13:50] Zain**
*Win her heart, he said?*
**[13:52] Zain**
*I just can't find the right time to say it...*
**[13:55] Zain**
*If we stay here in the human world,*
**[13:57] Zain**
* somebody's going to find out*
* we're witches eventually.*
**[13:59] Zain**
*Should I just disappear and leave her behind?*
**[14:03] Zain**
*No, but...*
**[14:05] (Flashback) Cuff**
I don't care if I'm a human or
a witch... as long as I'm with you.
**[14:10] Cuff**
You scared?
**[14:12] Cuff**
Don't worry. You've got me,
the great Cuff, by your side!
**[14:16] Zain**
*She has no idea what I'm going through.*
**[14:19] Zain**
*Sure, she is cute, but...*
**[14:22] Cuff**
If you're scared...
**[14:24] Cuff**
You can always hold my hand.
**[14:30] Zain**
* If she's that embarrassed,*
* then she shouldn't have offered.*
**[14:37] Ringmaster**
It's time.
**[14:38] Ringmaster**
Cuff, Zain, you okay?
**[14:41] Cuff/Zain**
It's a "l-let's do our best" handshake!
**[14:51] Zain**
*I'm such a wimp.*
**[14:59] Alice**
Tea is ready, Your Grace.
**[15:02] Duke**
Yeah, thanks.
**[15:09] Duke**
Where am I?
**[15:12] Daleth**
Excuse me. Is this seat taken?
**[15:14] Duke**
You're... Daleth?
**[15:18] Daleth**
I summoned you because
I have something to discuss.
**[15:22] Daleth**
The real you is unconscious
in the room you were just in.
**[15:26] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[15:29] Duke**
Is it my curse you wanted to talk about?
**[15:34] Daleth**
That's part of it, but first
I have a favor I wanted to ask.
**[15:39] Daleth**
You see...
**[15:40] Duke**
Something feels weird...
**[15:42] Daleth**
It seems Alice is concerned
and poking your cheek.
**[15:46] Duke**
She is?
**[15:47] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[15:48] Duke**
Not the neck, Alice!
**[15:52] Duke**
That tickles!
**[15:57] Duke**
S-Sorry.
**[15:59] Daleth**
It's *nice* how close you two are.
**[16:01] Daleth**
Well, whatever.
**[16:03] Daleth**
I want you to try and
persuade someone for me.
**[16:08] Duke**
Persuade?
**[16:09] Alice**
Just as you humans all
excel at different things,
**[16:13] Alice**
we witches all have magic we excel at.
**[16:17] Alice**
Be it controlling fire or
causing plants to grow...
**[16:21] Alice**
Those are the more common types, of course.
**[16:23] Alice**
I'm looking for a witch whose
powers are more advanced.
**[16:27] Alice**
A witch with the power
to control time itself.
**[16:34] Alice**
From the look on your face,
you know who I'm referring to.
**[16:37] Alice**
Yes. Zain is a magical genius.
**[16:40] Alice**
But for some reason, he hides it.
**[16:45] Alice**
If it weren't for the incident with the
logbook, I couldn't have been sure.
**[16:50] Duke**
*She knew...*
**[16:52] Daleth**
And that's why I want you to ask
him to use his time magic again.
**[16:58] Daleth**
He's so nice... He'd do
anything a friend asked.
**[17:03] Daleth**
How about it?
**[17:05] Duke**
I can't do that.
**[17:06] Duke**
I don't know about his magic.
**[17:09] Duke**
And I certainly can't if there's
some reason he doesn't use it.
**[17:12] Daleth**
Well, I thought you'd say that.
**[17:16] Daleth**
He's your friend. I understand.
**[17:19] Daleth**
But if you can do what I ask...
**[17:22] Daleth**
I'm willing to break your curse.
**[17:34] Cuff**
You can't sleep?
**[17:36] Zain**
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[17:40] Cuff**
We've got another performance tomorrow.
**[17:41] Cuff**
Get to sleep soon.
**[17:43] Zain**
I will.
**[17:46] Zain**
Childhood friends...
**[17:53] (Flashback) Zain**
I've heard you're the child
of a witch and a human!
**[17:56] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm Zain. What's your name?
**[17:59] (Flashback) Cuff**
I won't give you my name until you
apologize for throwing that rock.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Cuff**
I'm Cuff.
**[18:07] (Flashback) Cuff**
Nice to meet you.
**[18:09] Zain**
* My parents sent me to live*
* in the human world so that*
**[18:12] Zain**
*other witches wouldn't try to abuse my power.*
**[18:15] Zain**
*But...*
**[18:17] Zain**
* I still didn't understand the*
* power of the magic I had.*
**[18:28] (Flashback) Zain**
It's just barely alive... but it's
going to wilt at this rate.
**[18:37] (Flashback) Zain**
Leave it to me.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Zain**
I'll use my magic to fix it.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Cuff**
Magic?
**[18:46] (Flashback) Cuff**
It came back to life!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Zain**
It's easy, as long as you have my time magic!
**[18:52] (Flashback) Cuff**
Wow! You're a genius!
**[18:54] (Flashback) Zain**
Yeah! It's a secret to everybody, though!
**[18:56] (Flashback) Zain**
I can do this, too!
**[19:00] (Flashback) Zain**
I stopped time and moved.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Cuff**
Wow!
**[19:04] (Flashback) Zain**
I know what color your panties are, too!
**[19:06] (Flashback) Zain**
They're white with strawberries on them!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Cuff**
You stopped time and looked, huh?
**[19:14] Zain**
*Cuff called me a genius.*
**[19:18] Zain**
*We became friends and played every day.*
**[19:24] Zain**
*But one day while we were out playing,*
**[19:27] Zain**
* our parents were found*
* by human witch-hunters.*
**[19:34] (Flashback) Zain**
Cuff, don't cry! I'll use my time
magic to bring them back to life!
**[19:41] (Flashback) Cuff**
Can you do that?
**[19:43] (Flashback) Zain**
Of course I can! I'm Zain, the magical genius!
**[19:49] Zain**
*I wanted to see her smile.*
**[19:52] Zain**
*But...*
**[19:57] Zain**
* Even magic that can control time*
* can't bring the dead back to life.*
**[20:03] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry, Cuff. I couldn't
save them with my magic.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Zain**
Time can't change fate.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm so sorry...
**[20:19] (Flashback) Cuff**
Don't say you're sorry...
**[20:21] (Flashback) Cuff**
Don't say you're sorry, Zain.
**[20:24] Zain**
*Ever since that day, I've hated my magic.*
**[20:30] Zain**
I couldn't even protect Cuff's smile.
**[20:36] Duke**
Break my curse? What does that mean?
**[20:40] Duke**
Did you curse me in the first place after all?
**[20:41] Daleth**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[20:44] Daleth**
What I said before was the truth.
**[20:46] Daleth**
The witch who cursed you
is gone from this world.
**[20:49] Daleth**
All I can do is...
**[20:52] Duke**
What is this?
**[20:54] Daleth**
I called a witch I know who
excels at breaking curses.
**[20:58] Daleth**
I don't know if they'll succeed,
but it gives you hope, right?
**[21:03] Daleth**
They'll arrive in a few days.
**[21:05] Daleth**
When they're done, do me that favor, please.
**[21:08] Duke**
Wait! You can't do this!
**[21:11] Duke**
Tell me! Why do you need
magic that controls time?
**[21:14] Duke**
Who are you?
**[21:15] Duke**
At least let me see your face!
**[21:18] Daleth**
No. I'm ugly.
**[21:28] Duke**
Alice! That's dangerous!
**[21:30] Alice**
Oh, Your Grace. You hadn't woken up,
so I was going to do CPR.
**[21:35] Duke**
The second you tried, you'd go to sleep forever!
**[21:39] Duke**
R-Right! Daleth told me she
needed me to do something!
**[21:43] Duke**
She said a witch is coming!
**[21:45] Alice**
Calm down, Your Grace.
**[21:48] Alice**
Is that a business card?
**[21:58] Duke**
An octopus?
**[22:02] Duke**
Why an octopus?
