[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!
