**[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!*
