[00:09] lune
    Yuni!
[00:10] lune
    Thank goodness! You're finally awake!
[00:14] yuni
    Hey...
[00:18] lune
    You shouldn't be moving yet.
[00:20] lune
    Your wound will open.
[00:21] yuni
    This is... the Excessarca's infirmary?
[00:26] yuni
    I can't be here... I need to
    get back to the front lines!
[00:29] lune
    Calm down. The battle's over.
[00:31] lune
    We're mustering our remaining forces
    and falling back to Hariant.
[00:37] yuni
    Then the defense line on the River Deese...
[00:41] lune
    Yeah...
[00:42] lune
    There was a full day of fighting,
    and the Imperial Army broke through.
[00:48] lune
    I don't like it either,
[00:51] lune
    but you should focus on
    your recovery for now.
[00:55] yuni
    Lune...
[00:57] lune
    We'll have one last showdown in Hariant.
[01:00] lune
    C'mon... let's show them
    our passion and will.

[02:42] yuki
    People of Hariant.
[02:44] yuki
    Please follow the instructions
    given to you calmly but quickly.
[02:48] yuki
    The Kingdom will bring you all
    safely to the evacuation site.
[02:53] yuki
    We will overcome this hardship,
    and smile together again some day.
[02:58] yuki
    I, Yuki Soleil, believe this
    from the bottom of my heart.
[03:02] yuki
    Everyone, please prioritize your
    safety over everything else.
[03:07] yuki
    I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts.
[03:11] iza
    Princess Yuki... she volunteered
    for that painful duty.
[03:16] har
    But it was worth it.
[03:17] har
    There has been no panic among
    the citizens as a result.
[03:21] iza
    Will the war finally come
    to our city of Hariant?
[03:26] har
    How's Elisa? Has she left
    the city with Noel yet?
[03:30] iza
    No...
[03:32] lay
    You did well.
[03:33] lay
    You should leave things to the others
    now, and go rest in your room.
[03:37] yuki
    Miss Layla... is there really
    no way to avoid more fighting?
[03:42] lay
    I'm afraid not.
[03:45] yuki
    What if I surrender, and turn
    myself over to the Empire?
[03:49] lay
    The people do not wish to sacrifice you.
[03:54] lay
    And it will be all the more torturous for
    them if we're occupied by the Empire.
[04:00] yuki
    Then, you're saying there's
    nothing else I can do?
[04:07] yuki
    It was the same back then... in Leash.
[04:12] yuki
    I just wanted to save the
    people left in the city...
[04:16] yuki
    But I couldn't do anything... except watch...
[04:20] yuki
    What am I... as princess...
[04:37] noel
    Papa!
[04:39] iza
    Noel! You really came?
[04:41] noel
    Yeah! I kept Mama and the baby safe!
[04:45] iza
    I see, thank you.
    That's very brave of you.
[04:52] iza
    Please reconsider.
    There's still time to evacuate!
[04:55] iza
    For the sake of our unborn child...
[04:56] eli
    Yeah, yeah. Here, a change of clothes.
[05:01] iza
    Elisa...
[05:02] eli
    There's no way we could run
    off and leave you here.
[05:05] eli
    If you're staying and fighting,
    I want to be here to support you.
[05:11] eli
    The others' families all feel the same way.
[05:15] iza
    But...
[05:22] noel
    Princess Yuki!
[05:24] yu
    Noel! What are you...
[05:26] yu
    Who are these people?
[05:28] eli
    It's been some time, Princess Yuki.
[05:30] eli
    I'm afraid we'll be imposing on you for a bit.
[05:34] iza
    Elisa, this discussion isn't over! Elisa!
[05:37] noel
    Princess Yuki! Where's Joshua?
[05:41] noel
    Hey, where's Joshua? I wanna play with him!
[05:46] yuki
    Joshua... is far away right now. For work.
[05:50] noel
    Aw...
[05:52] yuki
    Come on. Let's look at the flowers.
[06:02] noel
    So pretty!
[06:04] noel
    Huh? Are those flowers, too?
[06:06] noel
    They look all droopy....
[06:07] yuki
    They're called sunflowers.
[06:09] yuki
    They come from the our ancestors' homeworld,
[06:12] yuki
    but they're very hard to grow...
[06:15] noel
    Let's water them! I'll go get some!
[06:21] yuki
    Noel!
[06:24] yuki
    It's... It's dangerous here.
[06:28] yuki
    I want you and your mother to go away.
[06:32] yuki
    Please.
[06:34] noel
    Why do we have to go away?
[06:36] noel
    We haven't done anything wrong.
[06:40] yuki
    Well...
[06:42] noel
    C'mon, tell me!
[06:43] noel
    Princess Yuki, you're in charge
    of the whole country, right?
[06:46] noel
    I bet you know everything!
[06:49] yuki
    No... I don't.
[06:55] yuki
    I'm like these flowers.
[06:59] yuki
    Raised inside a cage,
    sheltered and cared for...
[07:03] yuki
    That's why I didn't know...
[07:06] yuki
    what was really going on...
[07:09] yuki
    But...
[07:12] yuki
    I can't stay like this.
[07:15] noel
    Princess Yuki?
[07:22] james
    The Kingdom's last line of defense
[07:24] james
    will be 15 kilometers north of Hariant,
    on the Bram Plateau.
[07:28] james
    We're down to 20% of our original forces.
[07:31] james
    Only two platoons of theurgears
    equipped with the new chrars remain.
[07:36] iza
    What's their speed of approach?
[07:38] ope
    They're within 100 kilometers of Hariant.
[07:41] ope
    They'll reach our line around daybreak.
[07:42] har
    They number 50,000 in total.
[07:46] har
    And I'm sure Chief of Staff Eine Fleet
     is commanding them personally.
[07:50] har
    Prepare one of the new chrars.
[07:52] har
    I'm going to join the front lines.
[07:54] iza
    Harold, you...
[07:56] james
    The old ace going back into action, eh?
[07:58] james
    That should boost the troops' morale.
[08:01] james
    But are you sure you can handle it?
[08:04] har
    Of course I can.
[08:05] har
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[08:07] james
    Heh... very well.
[08:08] james
    I'll prepare you a Gard, then.
[08:21] lay
    Your daughter is in Princess Yuki's room.
[08:24] lay
    You should take some time to rest, as well.
[08:26] eli
    All right. I think I shall.
[08:31] lay
    Elisa?
[08:34] eli
    Yes?
[08:35] lay
    Take care of your daughter.
[08:38] lay
    If there's anything that I can do,
    don't hesitate to let me know.
[08:42] eli
    I appreciate it greatly.
[08:44] eli
    Now, eat up, before it gets cold.
[08:52] lay
    Elisa prepared dinner for us. Shall we?
[08:57] yuki
    Sure!
[09:00] yuki
    Hey, Miss Layla.
[09:02] yuki
    The Empire started the war because
    they wanted the new chrars, right?
[09:08] lay
    That is one of the reasons, yes.
[09:11] yuki
    My parents were trying to make the
    new chrars to help everyone...
[09:17] yuki
    I think they really meant it, too.
[09:19] yuki
    But now...
[09:23] yuki
    So many people have died
    because of the chrars.
[09:27] yuki
    Why? Was it bad to make the chrars?
[09:31] lay
    One of the most basic causes of war
[09:33] lay
    is the struggle for wealth and resources.
[09:37] lay
    This time, it simply happens to be the chrars.
[09:41] yuki
    But...
[09:42] lay
    The energy that the chrars provide is
    the foundation of our civilization.
[09:46] lay
    Their application would inevitably extend beyond
     peaceful purposes to weapons of war.
[09:51] lay
    Regrettable as it may be.
[09:54] yuki
    Then...
[09:56] yuki
    Then I'm going to use those
    weapons to stop the fighting.
[10:01] yuki
    I'm tired of watching, silent and powerless!
[10:06] lay
    Princess Yuki...
[10:11] har
    Did the princess...
[10:13] iza
    Yes.
[10:14] iza
    I hear she's visited Joshua's
    grave every day without fail.
[10:27] har
    Adelle.
[10:30] har
    I'm sorry.
[10:33] har
    I'm going to give you reason
    to grieve once again.
[10:37] iza
    I'll ask, just to be sure.
[10:40] iza
    You aren't doing this just
    for revenge, are you?
[10:47] iza
    If the Empire hadn't resorted to
    force of arms twelve years ago...
[11:05] iza
    If you're just going back into
    battle to avenge her, then...
[11:10] har
    I can't deny it.
[11:12] har
    That is part of it.
[11:14] har
    But my desire to protect Princess Yuki—
    to protect the Kingdom—is genuine.
[11:20] iza
    Very well.
[11:22] iza
    Give it your best.
[11:29] ope
    Communication from the enemy Chief of Staff.
[11:31] aine
    I'll ask you one more time:
[11:33] aine
    Advisor Langford,
[11:35] aine
    do you have no intent to surrender?
[11:37] iza
    Certainly not.
[11:39] iza
    There is nothing more to discuss.
[11:41] aine
    Very well. So noted.
[11:47] aine
    Sovereign of the Kingdom
    of Soleil, Princess Yuki.
[11:50] aine
    I am commander of the Imperial Army,
    Chief of Staff Eine Fleet.
[11:55] yuki
    A pleasure to meet you.
[11:57] aine
    I'd heard you turned twelve years old, and...
[12:00] aine
    Indeed, you've grown quite pretty.
[12:02] aine
    You must have been raised in
    a truly loving environment.
[12:07] aine
    But that ends here today.
[12:09] aine
    Sit there in your ivory tower
    and watch your kingdom fall.
[12:14] har
    Here we go! Follow me!
[12:17] all
    Yes, sir!
[12:18] yuki
    That voice... was that Harold?
[12:20] iza
    Yes.
[12:21] iza
    He volunteered to lead the charge personally.
[12:24] yuki
    I've never seen Harold fight
    in a theurgear before...
[12:31] ope
    Approximately 1,200 in their vanguard.
[12:33] ope
    Their main force is right behind.
[12:34] ope
    Total number... incalculable!
[12:37] iza
    There are two elements to our defense line.
[12:42] iza
    First, the front line minefield
    will winnow their numbers.
[12:48] iza
    Those that break through...
[12:51] iza
    will be met by Harold and
    the rest of the vanguard.
[12:54] har
    Engage hand-to-hand combat!
[13:10] har
    Those that break through will
    enter the rear minefield,
[13:14] har
    where a firing squad will pick them off.
[13:19] yuki
    Wait!
[13:20] yuki
    Does that mean Harold and the others
    will be trapped between the minefields...
[13:23] iza
    Yes, and unable to retreat.
[13:25] iza
    It is a suicide mission.
[13:32] ian
    Half of the front line
    mines have been detonated.
[13:34] ian
    There are just too many of them!
[13:36] james
    Adjust the range of our cannons.
[13:38] james
    Angle of elevation, minus three degrees.
[13:40] james
    Relay the same to the Krivanovs.
[13:42] niko
    But at that angle, we risk hitting our allies, too!
[13:46] james
    They'll just have to be skilled
    enough not to get hit.
[13:57] yuki
    It never ends!
[14:01] lune
    Yuni!
[14:07] lune
    Grand Master Harold!
[14:09] har
    Keep each other safe,
[14:10] har
    if you don't want any regrets.
[14:15] har
    Here they come.
[14:17] har
    I won't let you people...
[14:20] har
    take anything precious to me...
[14:24] har
    ever again!
[14:47] lay
    You mustn't avert your gaze.
[14:49] lay
    This is our reality.
[14:51] lay
    You said that you wanted to
    stop the fighting, didn't you?
[14:54] lay
    Then think, with all your might...
[14:57] lay
    If you can't do that,
    you will remain powerless.
[15:24] har
    You crafty little...!
[15:39] har
    I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:44] yuki
    Harold, no!
[15:48] har
    I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:52] har
    Damn you!
[16:00] yuki
    That pilot went to help her comrade...
[16:04] lay
    The enemy are human, too.
[16:06] lay
    It's no surprise, is it?
[16:14] yuki
    This is wrong.
[16:17] yuki
    But what can I...
[16:20] (Flashback) josh
    Don't give up!
[16:22] (Flashback) josh
    With passion and will,
    there's nothing you can't do!
[16:37] yuki
    It's possible...
[16:39] yuki
    How many of the mines do we have left?
[16:43] ope
    20% on the front line. 50% in the rear.
[16:46] yuki
    It just might work...
[16:49] yuki
    Izana, do we have the
    data on the Bram Plateau?
[16:55] lune
    Yuni!
[16:56] yuni
    It's all right... I'm not finished yet.
[16:59] yuni
    Here I go!
[17:01] yuki
    Attention, all theurgears!
[17:03] yuki
    I've disabled all the mines!
[17:05] yuki
    Retreat to our camp behind the minefield!
[17:08] yuki
    This is an order from your princess!
[17:09] har
    Princess Yuki... What are you...
[17:12] yuki
    Notify the enemy army, too!
[17:14] yuki
    Hurry! I don't want any
    more of them to die, either!
[17:28] yuki
    All mines... detonate!
[17:37] yuki
    All units, fire!
[17:58] yuki
    Don't look away...
[18:00] yuki
    These are the consequences of my actions.
[18:03] lay
    The ground there is calcareous...
[18:06] iza
    It's been eroded away
    by an underground river.
[18:10] iza
    But I never even thought that you could...
[18:15] lune
    No way. It's so deep and so wide...
[18:18] yuni
    We can't cross it with hovers...
[18:22] har
    Excessarca, resume shelling!
[18:25] har
    If we thin out their forces now—
[18:27] yuki
    No, you will not.
[18:29] yuki
    I want you all to stand by
    and await my further command.
[18:31] har
    Princess Yuki!
[18:33] yuki
    Harold, you need to do as I say.
[18:35] yuki
    That's an order.
[18:41] iza
    Princess Yuki...
[18:46] james
    It will probably take until tomorrow
    for the Empire to marshal their forces.
[18:51] james
    What is our next course
    of action, Your Highness?
[18:54] yuki
    Contact their leader, Chief of Staff Eine.
[18:58] yuki
    The Kingdom of Soleil will accept
    the Empire's terms of surrender
[19:01] yuki
    and lay down arms immediately.
[19:04] yuni
    Princess Yuki!
[19:05] yuni
    But, then...
[19:07] yuki
    I don't want to see anyone else die.
[19:11] yuki
    So I'll turn myself over to the Empire.
[19:16] yuki
    I'm prepared to give my life
    to see an end to this fighting.
[19:20] yuni
    No!
[19:23] har
    Your Highness...
[19:25] iza
    You insist on this course of action?
[19:28] yuki
    Yes.
[19:30] iza
    Very well.
[19:32] iza
    I'll begin overtures to the Empire at once.
[19:36] yuki
    Thank you.
[19:39] yuki
    The signing won't be at the
    Royal Palace of Soleil?
[19:43] iza
    You must travel to the Imperial headquarters.
[19:46] iza
    This ship will take you there.
[19:49] yuki
    I see.
[19:50] iza
    Once the signing is complete,
[19:51] iza
    the Imperial Army will wish to
    begin their occupation immediately.
[19:54] iza
    I will remain and make preparations for that.
[19:57] yuki
    Please do.
[20:11] yuki
    Where are we going?
[20:13] yuki
    This isn't the way to the
    Imperial headquarters...
[20:15] yuki
    This ship is heading south
[20:17] yuki
    to the primary refugee evacuation site,
[20:19] yuki
    the southern State of Leo Tacrath.
[20:23] yuki
    What?
[20:25] yuki
    You will change our course this instant!
[20:37] har
    Princess Yuki.
[20:48] iza
    Good luck to all of you.
[20:50] iza
    Fight well.
[20:52] yuki
    Izana! I...
[20:55] iza
    Look after Elisa and Noel...
[20:58] iza
    And my other child, about to be born.
[21:06] iza
    Princess Yuki, you have just
    begun to stand on your own.
[21:10] iza
    Now is not the time for you to die.
[21:16] yuki
    Izana!
[22:51] aine
    To save her own skin, Yuki Soleil has fled.
[22:54] aine
    She has abandoned Hariant and its people!
[22:58] aine
    The sheer cowardice of it!
[23:00] aine
    She is unworthy to reign over others!
[23:02] aine
    We are victorious.
[23:05] aine
    The Kingdom is as good as fallen.
[23:08] aine
    And we owe it to your diligent, hard work.
[23:11] aine
    Glory to Grandiga!
