[00:13] (Flashback) Algard
    What's wrong?
[00:16] (Flashback) Lainie
    Tomorrow's soirée is our last one
    before graduation, isn't it?
[00:22] (Flashback) Algard
    It is. Why?
[00:24] (Flashback) Lainie
    I'm truly honored that you'll
    be the one escorting me...
[00:30] (Flashback) Lainie
    But are you sure it's all right?
[00:34] (Flashback) Algard
    Euphyllia, eh?
[00:37] (Flashback) Algard
    You don't need to worry about a thing.
[00:40] (Flashback) Algard
    Just let me take care of everything
    when it comes to her.
[00:43] (Flashback) Lainie
    Yes, but...
[00:45] (Flashback) Lainie
    I'm sorry. I don't fully understand
    the rules and etiquette of nobility.
[00:50] (Flashback) Algard
    Because you lived as a commoner before
    Baron Cyan took you in as his daughter?
[00:56] (Flashback) Lainie
    Yes.
[01:09] (Flashback) Lainie
    After my mother died,
[01:12] (Flashback) Lainie
    I was taken in by an orphanage.
[01:18] (Flashback) Lainie
    But... it didn't work out very well.
[01:22] (Flashback) Lainie
    People kept making strange passes at me,
[01:24] (Flashback) Lainie
    or just plain bullying me...
[01:27] (Flashback) Lainie
    so I've never been very good
    at interacting with people.
[01:33] (Flashback) Algard
    Rejecting and failing to understand
    someone alien to you...
[01:36] (Flashback) Algard
    The disconnect between
    commoners and nobles...
[01:40] (Flashback) Algard
    This kingdom has become quite warped.
[01:47] (Flashback) Algard
    I want to change the Kingdom of Palettia.
[01:52] (Flashback) Lainie
    I know you can do it, Prince Algard!
[01:54] (Flashback) Lainie
    You can become a great king!
[01:57] (Flashback) Algard
    The previous king, my grandfather,
    tried to change the kingdom, too.
[02:03] (Flashback) Algard
    But he failed.
[02:05] (Flashback) Algard
    With a half-hearted approach,
    it would be impossible.
[02:23] (Flashback) Algard
    The road ahead of us will be a bumpy one.
[02:26] (Flashback) Algard
    Some unfortunate things might happen.
[02:28] (Flashback) Algard
    Despite that...
[02:30] (Flashback) Algard
    Will you still stay with me, Lainie?
[02:33] (Flashback) Lainie
    Yes!
[02:46] Lainie
    Prince Algard...

[04:27] Ilia
    Miss Lainie.
[04:29] Ilia
    Do you not intend to drink your tea?
[04:31] Lainie
    Oh... I-I'm sorry.
[04:36] Lainie
    I'm... a vampire, aren't I?
[04:45] Lainie
    And the only reason so many
    people have been kind to me
[04:48] Lainie
    is because I charmed them
    without knowing it.
[04:53] Lainie
    And yet, Miss Anis and her friends
    treat me so well.
[04:59] Ilia
    If you fret too much,
    happiness will escape you.
[05:03] Lainie
    But...
[05:05] Ilia
    The more complicated a problem is,
    the longer it persists.
[05:09] Ilia
    But putting that aside, there is one problem
    that you can resolve here and now.
[05:13] Lainie
    What is it?
[05:15] Ilia
    A maid's concern that the excellent tea
    she brewed will go cold.
[05:26] Lainie
    Right. Thank you.
[05:32] Lainie
    It is indeed excellent.
[05:34] Ilia
    You honor me with your praise.
[05:48] Lainie
    Miss Il—
[05:49] Ilia
    Quiet.
[05:53] Ilia
    Remain calm and listen to me.
    Someone just infiltrated the villa.
[06:12] Lainie
    H-How could there be an intruder?
[06:15] Ilia
    It's all right. Miss Anis will fly here
    in response to the alarm immediately.
[06:20] Lainie
    B-But Miss Anis left to speak before
    the Ministry of the Arcane...
[06:26] Ilia
    Yes, which is why we should
    take refuge at the castle.
[06:30] Ilia
    I can find my way around
    the villa with my eyes closed.
[06:38] Ilia
    Miss Lainie! That fog!
[06:39] Ilia
    It might be poisonous! Don't inhale it!
[06:42] Ilia
    We'll leave through the window!
    Hold on tight!
[06:52] Algard
    As always, you do make quick judgments,
[06:54] Algard
    but you have a problem following through.
[07:03] Ilia
    Fire Arrow!
[07:09] Lainie
    Miss Ilia!
[07:18] Lainie
    Why...
[07:23] Algard
    I won't apologize,
    nor will I beg for forgiveness.
[07:26] Algard
    But...
[07:29] Algard
    It is unfortunate, Lainie.
[07:40] Chartreuse
    With regard to the speech
    by Duke Magenta's daughter,
[07:43] Chartreuse
    as head of the Ministry of the Arcane,
    I would like to stress one additional point.
[07:47] Chartreuse
    Spirit contracts are the very
    foundation of our kingdom!
[07:51] Chartreuse
    This was because our first
    king established this kingdom
[07:54] Chartreuse
    by forging a direct contract
    with a greater spirit.
[07:58] Anisphia
    I wanna go home...
[08:00] Moritz
    Princess Anisphia.
[08:02] Moritz
    The lecture you gave was magnificent.
[08:05] Anisphia
    Uh, thanks...
[08:07] Anisphia
    And who are you? I'm lost here.
[08:10] Moritz
    I am Moritz Chartreuse.
[08:12] Anisphia
    He's the son of that old
    geezer at the lecture!
[08:15] Anisphia
    And one of Al's flunkies, at that!
[08:16] Moritz
    I caused a great deal of trouble for you
    in the matter with Lady Euphyllia.
[08:20] Moritz
    I wanted to apologize formally.
[08:23] Anisphia
    Why don't you apologize to her, then?
[08:26] Moritz
    W-Well, yes, of course...
    I'll be doing plenty of that later.
[08:32] Moritz
    The truth is, I was the one
    who proposed this lecture.
[08:36] Moritz
    I hoped it would create an opportunity
    to restore your reputation.
[08:39] Moritz
    Wait, that was your idea?
    Not the Ministry's?
[08:44] Moritz
    Yes, so that you could do us
    the favor of teaching us
[08:47] Moritz
    about your magicology, an art that
    was unappreciated until now.
[08:51] Moritz
    I had hoped that could serve as my apology.
[08:54] Anisphia
    R-Right...
[08:55] Anisphia
    I have no idea what he's talking about.
[08:58] Anisphia
    What a weirdo.
[09:00] Anisphia
    I have no opinion on the matter.
    There's no need to apologize to me.
[09:04] Moritz
    But my conscience cannot accept that!
[09:07] Moritz
    Please hear me out for another
    ten minutes—no, an hour—
[09:10] Moritz
    no, for eternity, if that's what
    it takes to earn your forgiveness!
[09:14] Anisphia
    Huh? Is he a drunkard, too?
[09:22] Anisphia
    Please excuse me.
    I need to go talk to my friend.
[09:25] Moritz
    Your Highness's friend?
[09:28] Moritz
    Please introduce me to them, as well!
[09:31] Moritz
    And then we can all hear my father speak! Okay?
[09:34] Moritz
    Yes! Let's do that!
[09:38] Chartreuse
    In short...
[09:39] Chartreuse
    Only descendants of the king who
    made a contract with the spirits,
[09:43] Chartreuse
    meaning those who can use magic,
    have the right to rule this kingdom!
[09:48] Chartreuse
    Regardless of how many sophistries
    you may present us,
[09:50] Chartreuse
    we will never acknowledge a heretic
    who is incompatible with the spirits!
[09:54] Anisphia
    He's making no sense!
    I'm scared! What's his deal?!
[09:55] Chartreuse
    To tarnish our traditions
    is to insult our kingdom!
[10:00] Anisphia
    Ilia!
[10:07] Anisphia
    Hey. Let go of me.
[10:09] Moritz
    Get everyone in the venue together!
    Don't let anyone leave!
[10:15] Anisphia
    I said let me go!
[10:16] Moritz
    I can't do that!
[10:18] Moritz
    Until we know what that sound was,
    we cannot be imprud—
[10:21] Anisphia
    That sound was an alarm that I invented!
[10:23] Anisphia
    Something's happened at the villa!
[10:27] Moritz
    All the more reason.
[10:29] Anisphia
    What?
[10:30] Moritz
    No, Your Highness!
[10:33] Moritz
    Please, calm yourself! Be rational!
[10:37] Anisphia
    What are you—
[10:38] Moritz
    She's deranged!
[10:39] Moritz
    Princess Anisphia has lost her mind!
[10:42] Moritz
    Someone... Someone come help!
[10:44] Anisphia
    What?
[10:45] Moritz
    I had a feeling this would happen someday,
[10:48] Moritz
    and I was right! You are a bizarre,
    dangerous individual!
[10:51] Moritz
    You're on a rampage!
    Consumed by debauchery!
[10:54] Moritz
    Outrageously audacious and running rampant!
[10:57] Moritz
    Restrain the deranged princess
    and keep her in here!
[10:59] Anisphia
    Who are you...
[11:00] Anisphia
    calling "deranged"?!
[11:12] Moritz
    L-Let me go! Let me go!
[11:14] Anisphia
    That's...
[11:17] Anisphia
    my line!
[11:25] Noble
    A d-dragon!
[11:26] Moritz
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[11:29] Moritz
    Restrain this monstrous princess at once!
[11:35] Moritz
    You...
[11:38] Moritz
    monster!
[11:45] Moritz
    E-Euphyllia!
[11:48] Euphyllia
    Miss Anis!
[11:49] Euphyllia
    The window nearest the villa!
[11:55] Tilty
    What's all this, now?
[11:57] Tilty
    You all seem to be having such a good time.
[12:05] Anisphia
    Tilty!
[12:07] Tilty
    A revolt? Is this a revolt?
[12:10] Tilty
    If that's what it is, I'll take you on.
[12:14] Tilty
    So go even wilder, won't you?!
[12:20] Euphyllia
    Such skillful composite magic...
SIGN    You'd better get out of here quick, or I'll tie everyone up.
[12:28] Anisphia
    What are you doing, Tilty, you idiot?
[12:31] Tilty
    Are you an idiot?!
[12:33] Tilty
    I'm telling you to leave things here to me!
[12:37] Anisphia
    Just don't take it too far.
[12:41] Anisphia
    Euphie!
[12:42] Euphyllia
    Right!
[12:48] Euphyllia
    Wind Cutter!
[12:52] Euphyllia
    Let's fly!
[12:53] Anisphia
    Do it!
[13:01] Tilty
    Honestly...
[13:03] Tilty
    You'd better do things right,
    Anis, you idiot.
[13:08] Tilty
    Oh, you're still on your feet?
[13:15] Tilty
    No one asked you to get involved.
[13:17] Chartreuse
    Must every last one of you...
[13:19] Chartreuse
    keep ruining my plans?!
[13:22] Chartreuse
    You insolent little girls,
    and your disregard for our traditions!
[13:34] Anisphia
    Euphie! Over there!
[14:21] Algard
    No matter what I do or how I do it,
[14:25] Algard
    must you always stand in my way...
[14:34] Algard
    Sister?
[14:45] Euphyllia
    What in the world is the meaning
    of this, Prince Algard?
[14:50] Algard
    Keep it down, Euphyllia.
[14:56] Ilia
    Miss... Anis...
[14:58] Ilia
    I'm... sorry...
[15:01] Anisphia
    Don't apologize. Lainie!
[15:04] Lainie
    I-I...
[15:07] Anisphia
    Hang in there.
[15:08] Anisphia
    You'll be fine. Just stay with me.
[15:11] Lainie
    Prince Al... Magicite...
[15:16] Anisphia
    I know. Leave the rest to me.
[15:18] Anisphia
    Euphie!
[15:28] Anisphia
    Look after them.
[15:30] Euphyllia
    I can help Ilia, but Lainie...
[15:33] Anisphia
    Lainie is a vampire.
    She still has a chance.
[15:36] Euphyllia
    But she's clearly had her
    magicite ripped out!
[15:40] Anisphia
    Still, do everything you can. Please.
[15:50] Algard
    Finished talking?
[15:52] Anisphia
    How noble of you to wait for me.
[15:54] Algard
    I'm used to waiting.
[15:57] Algard
    I waited years for this moment, after all.
[16:00] Anisphia
    Were you the one behind the
    lecture event at the Ministry?
[16:05] Algard
    Wasn't that Moritz's idea?
[16:08] Anisphia
    To get me away from the villa, yes.
[16:11] Anisphia
    If you had the backing of the Ministry,
[16:14] Anisphia
    that must mean its leader, Chartreuse,
    was working with you, too.
[16:17] Algard
    Was he, now?
[16:18] Anisphia
    I'm amazed you could do all that
    even under Lainie's fascination.
[16:23] Algard
    I still hold her in the
    highest regard, of course.
[16:28] Algard
    And what of it?
[16:32] Algard
    Royalty should never let their emotions
    lead them into poor decisions.
[16:38] Algard
    That's been drilled into me all my life,
[16:41] Algard
    as the one and only heir to the throne.
[16:44] Anisphia
    So you'd just take Lainie's magicite
    from her without a second thought?
[16:47] Algard
    Yes. My emotions are secondary.
[16:50] Anisphia
    And you think becoming a vampire
    is the right thing for royalty to do?!
[16:54] Algard
    You're the last one
    I want to hear that from.
[16:57] Algard
    What is that on your back, pray tell?
[17:01] Algard
    You may not have absorbed
    the magicite in the same way,
[17:04] Algard
    but we both sought the powers of monsters—
    a vampire and a dragon—
[17:07] Algard
    just the same.
[17:10] Anisphia
    You and I are in very different positions.
[17:15] Algard
    That's right!
[17:16] Algard
    You're a princess who threw away your
    right to the throne like it was nothing,
[17:19] Algard
    and I'm the one and only crown prince
    who was left behind!
[17:23] Algard
    Our positions are different!
[17:25] Anisphia
    Al...
[17:26] Algard
    That's why I had no choice but to do this.
[17:30] Algard
    I will use the power of a vampire
    to seize control of this kingdom.
[17:35] Anisphia
    Seize control?
[17:37] Anisphia
    But why?! You'd still be the next king,
    even if you hadn't done that!
[17:41] Algard
    If you sincerely believe that,
    you really have been oblivious.
[17:47] Algard
    How many people have truly
    accepted me as the next king?
[17:52] Algard
    You can't tell me you haven't
    heard people saying,
[17:55] Algard
    "If only Princess Anisphia
    had a talent for magic"!
[18:01] Algard
    Everyone acknowledges you,
    ridicules you, and fears you.
[18:05] Algard
    You are genuinely a monster.
[18:09] Anisphia
    You're wrong.
[18:10] Algard
    No ordinary human can
    match up to a monster.
[18:13] Algard
    So I have no choice but to become one!
[18:15] Algard
    If there's no other way, then so be it!
[18:18] Anisphia
    You're wrong! That's not the kind of king
    people want you to be!
[18:22] Anisphia
    Can't you just treasure the ties
    that bind people to each other,
[18:25] Anisphia
    and be a king who works hand-in-hand
    with them to lead the kingdom?!
[18:29] Algard
    A king like that can only
    be called ornamental!
[18:33] Algard
    The ties that bind people?
    Working hand-in-hand?
[18:37] Algard
    Well, I... I've seen it!
[18:39] Algard
    The rifts that gape between
    commoner and commoner!
[18:42] Algard
    The arrogance of nobles who don't
    even see commoners as people!
[18:46] Algard
    In this kingdom, magic is everything!
[18:50] Anisphia
    Which is why you should be
    a king who changes that!
[18:53] Algard
    It can't be changed!
[18:54] Algard
    What happened when the previous king
[18:57] Algard
    extolled commoners
    and gave them noble titles?!
[19:02] Algard
    A revolt!
[19:03] Algard
    One that involved many of the nobles!
[19:06] Algard
    Even now, after Father and Duke put it down,
[19:09] Algard
    its flames still smolder!
[19:14] Algard
    This kingdom is ill.
[19:16] Algard
    So I have no choice but to change it
    with absolute power.
[19:20] Algard
    Power great enough to shatter
    the unchangeable norm.
[19:24] Algard
    But...
[19:26] Algard
    I couldn't do it.
[19:29] Anisphia
    Al?
[19:31] Algard
    I'm a foolish commoner
    who doesn't even compare to you.
[19:34] Algard
    I couldn't excel in anything.
    I could do nothing.
[19:37] Algard
    No matter how hard I tried,
[19:39] Algard
    all I could do was things that were
    possible if I just worked at them.
[19:43] Anisphia
    And that's why you sought power,
    even if you had to steal it?
[19:47] Algard
    It's power that is necessary
    to correct this misguided kingdom.
[19:52] Algard
    And you have no right to say
    a single thing about it.
[19:57] Algard
    Anisphia Wynn Palettia.
[20:00] Algard
    You are the first princess,
[20:02] Algard
    and you threw away the responsibilities
    burned into that name.
[20:05] Algard
    This is the future you chose not to pursue.
[20:08] Algard
    If it's something a monster
    could throw away so easily,
[20:12] Algard
    what problem is there with a foolish
    commoner like me vomiting blood
[20:15] Algard
    for the chance to pick it up?
[20:16] Anisphia
    Al, tell me one thing.
[20:20] Anisphia
    What is magic to you?
[20:22] Algard
    It's a curse, Sister.
[20:26] Algard
    Magic, the royal blood,
    my position as a prince...
[20:31] Algard
    To me, they're all curses.
[20:33] Algard
    They're meant to reduce me to nothing.
[20:38] Anisphia
    I see.
[20:40] Anisphia
    Fine, Algard.
[20:43] Anisphia
    Maybe the place where you stand right now
    is something I threw away.
[20:48] Anisphia
    But I can't allow that.
[20:51] Anisphia
    If you're going to pick up the
    future that I threw away,
[20:55] Anisphia
    then I'll pick up the present
    that you just threw away.
[20:59] Anisphia
    A kingdom ruled by an inhumane king
[21:01] Anisphia
    who hurts people and
    tramples them underfoot
[21:04] Anisphia
    is not a kingdom where
    people can live happily.
[21:06] Algard
    None are more unfortunate than a people
    ruled by a king who lacks power!
[21:10] Anisphia
    Power? How very comical.
[21:13] Anisphia
    Are you really so vain as
    to believe you can beat me
[21:17] Anisphia
    when we fight on equal ground?!
[21:19] Algard
    How dare you?!
[21:22] Anisphia
    If power really is everything,
[21:24] Anisphia
    then let's see you beat me!
[21:26] Algard
    I told you that you do not have
    the right to stand in my way!
[21:31] Anisphia
    No. I will stop my brother's little game.
[21:34] Anisphia
    That's my right as your older sister!
[21:37] Algard
    It's too late for that nonsense now!
[21:40] Anisphia
    Yes, it really is... too late.
[21:45] Anisphia
    But, you know...
[21:46] Anisphia
    Magic is made up of prayers for tomorrow
[21:48] Anisphia
    and wishes for everyone's happiness, Al.
[21:53] Algard
    Sister...
[21:55] Anisphia
    Face me, Algard!
[21:58] Anisphia
    I reject your definition!
