[00:09] Tinasha     I need a lot more power now     to use spirit magic. [00:13] Tinasha     This seems like a good opportunity     to update my configurations. [00:18] Oscar     When should our wedding be? [00:19] Oscar     Once we enter a marital agreement, [00:22] Oscar     you'll be granted the privileges     of the Farsas royal family... [00:27] Oscar     What's with that look? [00:28] Tinasha     W-Well, I don't know about marriage... [00:33] Oscar     Did you say something? [00:34] Tinasha     Ow! [00:36] Tinasha     I'd be happy just being your mistress. [00:40] Oscar     I don't plan on keeping you hidden away. [00:44] Tinasha     What's out in the open and what's hidden     away is a matter of perspective. SIGN    ~ Blank Slate Children ~ [02:28] Tinasha     I see. [02:29] Tinasha     The new year festival is held     in the eastern temple? [02:34] Oscar     Yeah. [02:35] Oscar     It's custom to go on horseback     to present myself to the public as well. [02:40] Tinasha     That'll require quite a lot of bodyguards. [02:44] Tinasha     What is it, Litola? [02:49] Litola     We have visitors at the tower. [02:51] Tinasha     It's closed off, isn't it? [02:53] Litola     That may be so, [02:56] Litola     however, the visitors are five boys,     all under ten years old. [02:58] Litola     From their conversation,     it seems they live in the Farsas castle city. [03:03] Boy A     Open it up already, wimp! [03:05] Saye     Look, I mean... [03:08] Boy B     Don't be chicken, Saye. [03:13] Tinasha     Hey! [03:15] Tinasha     What did you come all this way for? [03:21] Saye     Where'd you come from?! [03:22] Tinasha     What do you want with the witch? [03:24] Saye     Well... [03:26] Boy B     Saye said that up in the north,     it rains ice instead of water. [03:30] Boy A     He must be lying. [03:31] Boy A     There's no way that's true. [03:32] Boy B     So we told him to go ask the witch. [03:35] Tinasha     Hail... [03:37] Tinasha     Wait, no, snow? [03:41] Saye     Yeah, snow! [03:43] Saye     Have you heard of it, missy? [03:46] Tinasha     Just to be clear, is that     the reason you came here? [03:51] Saye     Yep. [03:56] Tinasha     You came all this way without any adults? [03:58] Tinasha     What if you ran into     demonic spirits or bandits? [04:01] Saye     Still... [04:03] Saye     His Majesty got stronger     by going on all sorts of adventures... [04:07] Tinasha     That man's influence, huh? [04:10] Tinasha     Listen closely. [04:11] Tinasha     His Majesty is strong from all the training     he did before going on any adventures. [04:17] Tinasha     Now that you get it,     why don't I take you kids back home? [04:28] Saye     Wait... are you the witch? [04:33] Tinasha     Who knows? [04:40] Tinasha     Putting up the surveillance spell won't be     as bad as actually monitoring that day. [04:45] Tinasha     I'll end up perceiving everything     that happens within the spell's range. [04:50] Oscar     Sounds rough on you. [04:52] Tinasha     Oh, right, remember those kids     who visited the tower? [04:56] Tinasha     I swear, they fear nothing,     like someone I know. [05:04] Oscar     Why don't you want to get married? [05:07] Tinasha     What's this all of a sudden? [05:10] Oscar     Am I the reason? [05:15] Tinasha     Do you remember how I said     you have magical power? [05:19] Oscar     Oh, right, I forgot to ask you for the details. [05:24] Tinasha     Actually, you possess a great deal of magic. [05:27] Tinasha     I believe it must have been sealed away     with a powerful spell when you were a child. [05:32] Tinasha     If I give birth to your child,     there's no doubt they'll be a powerful mage. [05:38] Tinasha     If it's a girl, then there's a good chance     that right from birth... [05:43] Oscar     She'll be a witch... [05:47] Oscar     What if it's a boy? [05:49] Tinasha     He'd inherit quite a lot of magic. [05:51] Tinasha     But as long as he wields Akashia,     he can't cast spells. [05:56] Tinasha     You must have inherited Akashia     at a young age for the same reason. [06:00] Oscar     You mean my father knew I had magic power? [06:04] Tinasha     I imagine it was your mother, or someone     close to her, who sealed away your magic. [06:11] Oscar     I see. [06:14] Oscar     Do you think being born     with such strong magic is a bad thing? [06:19] Tinasha     I can't say that it's a good thing... [06:23] Tinasha     Especially for a member of royalty. [06:25] Oscar     I have magic too, don't I? [06:28] Oscar     Not to mention you were in line     to be queen yourself. [06:35] Oscar     Don't reject the very notion of power. [06:38] Oscar     Your power has saved     plenty of people, has it not? [06:43] Tinasha     It's also taken countless lives. [06:46] Oscar     The same goes for me. [06:48] Oscar     That comes with my decision to fight. [06:51] Oscar     We can teach our child about their power,     about the value of lives, little by little. [06:57] Oscar     Don't deny them that from the start. [07:00] Oscar     Give our child a chance to be born. [08:03] Tinasha     Let it be defined. [08:05] Tinasha     My command summons and controls thee. [08:07] Tinasha     O lightning, appear before me and obey my will. [08:15] Kumu     What's the matter?! [08:16] Oscar     Someone was watching us. [08:21] Tinasha     They got away. [08:23] Tinasha     I'm not talking about you, of course. [08:26] Tinasha     Saye, come out here. [08:32] Tinasha     Did my lecture not get through to you? [08:37] Saye     I'm sorry. [08:40] Saye     Your Majesty, forgive my rudeness. [08:43] Saye     I was just curious. [08:45] Tinasha     The other four of you, come out as well. [08:48] Tinasha     Let's go back together. [08:57] Saye     How did you know, missy? [08:59] Tinasha     I'm the lookout. [09:01] Tinasha     I can tell when someone's nearby. [09:07] Als     Your Majesty, take cover from the rain! [09:10] Oscar     I'm fine. [09:18] Tinasha     I call for transformation. [09:20] Tinasha     Fall down without changing form. [09:22] Tinasha     Let frozen breath bring about change. [09:30] Saye     Hey, look! [09:31] Saye     Didn't I tell you? [09:41] Oscar     So this is what snow is like. [09:49] Oscar     The world has so much to offer     when I'm with you. [09:59] Boy     Missy! [10:05] Oscar     Are you okay? [10:09] Tinasha     It was just a bit stressful. [10:13] Tinasha     I can walk just fine. [10:15] Oscar     Let me pamper you. [10:20] Tinasha     Going back to our discussion about marriage... [10:25] Oscar     Yeah. [10:26] Tinasha     Let me think about it for a little longer... [10:30] Tinasha     Until our contract ends. [10:33] Oscar     Sure. [10:40] Oscar     I tried asking my father. [10:42] Oscar     About my mother. [10:45] Oscar     He said I should do what I want, since he     got married for selfish reasons as well. [10:50] Tinasha     I see. [10:53] Oscar     Well, I'm glad she gave birth to me. [10:56] Oscar     It means I get to be here now. [10:59] Tinasha     I feel the same way. [11:05] Leonora     How did she look? [11:08] Unai     She seemed the same as always. [11:11] Unai     However, her spell seemed a bit different. SIGN    Leonora The Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned [11:16] Leonora     Perhaps she gave in to a man? [11:18] Leonora     How reckless, right after she almost died. [11:21] Leonora     Very well. [11:22] Leonora     Let's kill her if we find an opening. [11:25] Leonora     Once this little game's reached     a good stopping point. [11:29] Unai     As you wish. [11:38] Lazar     Your Majesty. [11:39] Lazar     We've received details on the Gandona     Founding Day celebrations in two weeks. [11:43] Oscar     I'd rather not go. [11:45] Oscar     That's not possible. [11:47] Oscar     Well, I am worried about     trouble brewing in Yarda out east. [11:52] Oscar     Guess I'll have to go. [11:54] Lazar     Of course you will. [11:57] Oscar     I'll have Tinasha with me, so I won't     need too many bodyguards. [12:00] Oscar     Oh, maybe we should bring Pamyra or Sylvia. [12:03] Oscar     You need someone to help dress you, don't you? [12:06] Tinasha     Why would I need someone to dress me? [12:09] Tinasha     I can do it myself. [12:11] Oscar     You're not putting on a formal dress alone. [12:13] Tinasha     I knew it. [12:14] Tinasha     No public appearance. [12:15] Tinasha     I'm just going to protect you. [12:17] Tinasha     But... [12:19] Lazar     Lady Tinasha, doesn't everyone think     you're His Majesty's fiancée? [12:24] Oscar     That's right. [12:25] Tinasha     I forgot that was our story. [12:28] Tinasha     What do I do? [12:31] Oscar     I'm sure it's fine if you     don't make an appearance. [12:34] Oscar     Just tell me where you're going to be. [12:37] Tinasha     S-Sorry. [12:41] Oscar     Oh yeah, didn't you say     you'd been to Gandona before? [12:46] Tinasha     Yes. [12:47] Tinasha     I was asked to help exterminate a demon. [12:50] Oscar     I see. [12:52] Tinasha     If something feels wrong,     just shout my name. [12:56] Oscar     Got it. [12:58] Oscar     What about you? [12:59] Tinasha     I'll be on-site. [13:01] Tinasha     Somewhere you can see me. SIGN    Gandona Founding Day Celebration [13:10] Travis     How about a drink? [13:14] Tinasha     No thanks. [13:16] Tinasha     You know I don't drink, Travis. SIGN    Travis Higher Demon [13:18] Travis     Long time no see. [13:20] Travis     You've grown into a fine woman. [13:22] Travis     Is it because you found a man? [13:24] Tinasha     The total opposite. [13:25] Tinasha     I've matured because I was injured. [13:29] Travis     So much power, yet you     managed to injure yourself. [13:32] Travis     Humans sure are fragile. [13:37] Travis     That strange human is your lover, huh? [13:41] Travis     If he was a woman, I'd want him for myself. [13:44] Travis     What a shame. [13:45] Tinasha     Don't be so creepy. [13:48] Tinasha     So? What are you doing here? [13:51] Tinasha     Up to your old tricks? [13:53] Travis     I'm a duke in this country now. [13:55] Travis     And I've got my eye on a girl. [13:57] Tinasha     I feel sorry for her. [14:05] Travis     You sure have gone soft. [14:07] Travis     I bet I could kill you now. [14:10] Tinasha     Why don't you try? [14:12] Travis     Oh, now that's the feistiness I remember. [14:17] Travis     I'll leave you alone. [14:18] Travis     If I cause trouble, someone won't be— [14:20] Aurelia     Travis! [14:21] Aurelia     Hitting on women again? [14:23] Aurelia     What if it turns into a diplomatic problem? [14:26] Travis     She's a member of the Gandona royal family. SIGN    Aurelia Gandona Royalty [14:29] Travis     I'm acting as her guardian. [14:34] Aurelia     I apologize for his behavior. [14:36] Aurelia     My name is Aurelia Canao Naysha Faurecia. [14:41] Tinasha     I'm Tinasha As Meyer Ur Aeterna Tuldarr. [14:45] Aurelia     Hey, she's the fiancée to the king of Farsas! [14:49] Travis     We're old acquaintances. [14:51] Travis     Wait, you two are engaged? [14:54] Tinasha     Publicly, at least. [14:56] Travis     Fascinating. [14:58] Travis     I'd love to see you two have a child. [15:02] Tinasha     I wouldn't, which is why I'm     on the fence about marriage. [15:07] Aurelia     Do you not like children? [15:09] Tinasha     What? [15:13] Tinasha     No, that's not it. [15:16] Travis     She's a witch, after all. [15:18] Travis     I bet she's scared her child will be one, too. [15:23] Aurelia     I may not know how hard     witches like you have it, [15:28] Aurelia     but I imagine bearing a child must     come with both hardship and joy. [15:32] Aurelia     Instead of choosing not to     give birth due to such fears, [15:35] Aurelia     I believe your child would rather be born,     to share in both the good and the bad. [15:42] Aurelia     I apologize for saying too much. [15:48] Tinasha     What an exceptional girl. [15:50] Travis     She was born with a strange     power that she never asked for. [15:55] Tinasha     Really? [15:57] Tinasha     I've said something awful. [16:00] Travis     She's not so weak as to be hurt by that. [16:03] Travis     More importantly, how does it feel to be     lectured by a girl four hundred years younger? [16:10] Tinasha     It hits hard. [16:16] Oscar     It seems the princess of Yarda went missing     before she reached the Gandona border. [16:22] Tinasha     Sounds like a serious problem. [16:24] Oscar     There's been internal strife     in the royal court, [16:27] Oscar     and some of them are even preparing for war. [16:30] Tinasha     Any others in the royal family? [16:34] Oscar     I think she has an older brother. [16:35] Tinasha     If you think it might escalate,     I can send a familiar to scout things out. [16:39] Oscar     Well... [16:41] Oscar     Let's wait until it looks like     it'll draw out longer. [16:45] Tinasha     As you wish. [16:49] Tinasha     What? That's dangerou— [16:51] Oscar     I saw you talking with a man     during the ceremony. [16:56] Tinasha     You were watching? [16:57] Oscar     I heard he's a duke here,     but he had a strange aura. [17:01] Oscar     Is he human? [17:04] Tinasha     I don't think most humans     could see through that. [17:08] Tinasha     That man is the highest ranked of all demons. [17:12] Tinasha     He's what you would call the demon king. [17:16] Tinasha     He's the demon I mentioned earlier,     who I was asked to exterminate in Gandona. [17:22] Oscar     That's one hell of a tale. [17:26] Oscar     It looked like you two got along pretty well. [17:29] Tinasha     He has no interest in witches. [17:32] Tinasha     Actually, he seemed more attracted to you, [17:35] Tinasha     so don't you go near him. [17:37] Oscar     What's that all about? [17:39] Oscar     Listening to you is going to     give me a headache. [18:00] Oscar     What's going on? [18:01] Oscar     An outbreak of demons? [18:03] Als     I'm so sorry for disturbing you! [18:14] Oscar     Hey! [18:15] Oscar     Don't come out dressed like that! [18:17] Tinasha     This is... [18:19] Tinasha     Do you have a death wish? [18:23] Oscar     That idiot! [18:28] Tinasha     Ring, bind her! [18:33] Tinasha     Why are you here? [18:36] Aderayya     I was commanded by my master. [18:39] Tinasha     And who's your master? [18:42] Aderayya     No one at all. [18:44] Tinasha     Then perish here! [18:54] Tinasha     What in the world?! [18:56] Travis     Are you trying to pick a fight? [18:58] Tinasha     Travis! [19:00] Tinasha     What are you doing out here? [19:03] Travis     I was going after the man. [19:05] Travis     He dared to try and kill Aurelia. [19:08] Travis     What utter disrespect. [19:11] Tinasha     Is she safe? [19:13] Travis     I put up a barrier and I have     servants watching her. [19:16] Travis     I will say, that's one skimpy getup. [19:21] Tinasha     H-He's going to be so mad! [19:28] Kumu     The prime minister of Gandona     was killed, along with other casualties. [19:33] Kumu     It seems Lady Tinasha     was suspected at one point. [19:37] Oscar     That's what you get for behaving rashly. [19:39] Oscar     If you're going to run off,     at least finish the job. [19:42] Tinasha     I thought I could do it. [19:45] Tinasha     But I have a good idea of who it was now. [19:48] Oscar     What, did you see someone you recognized? [19:51] Tinasha     No, I mean the culprit pulling the strings. [19:56] Oscar     If you know who it is, be clear about it. [20:00] Tinasha     Leonora. [20:01] Tinasha     The Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned. [20:03] Oscar     A witch?! [20:06] Tinasha     If she's the mastermind, then it's clear     why you and Aurelia were targets. [20:12] Oscar     Why's that? [20:13] Oscar     I don't know her. [20:15] Tinasha     I heard that Leonora was     treated cruelly by Travis in the past. [20:19] Tinasha     I happen to have faced her in battle once. [20:23] Tinasha     Maybe I shouldn't have said     all those nasty things to her. [20:27] Oscar     In other words,     the Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned [20:30] Oscar     holds a personal grudge against you two. [20:33] Tinasha     Travis tells me that she's in Yarda     right now, in good favor with the prince. [20:40] Oscar     What's the meaning of this? [20:42] Oscar     I thought witches didn't want     to meddle with nations or wars. [20:46] Tinasha     Ostensibly, yes. [20:48] Tinasha     But Leonora loves lurking in     the shadows, building and destroying nations. [20:54] Tinasha     She's got an unusually large number     of servants for a witch. [20:57] Tinasha     It'd be easy for her to get royalty     and nobility to do her bidding. [21:01] Tinasha     I even hear she encased     an entire castle in amber once. [21:06] Oscar     The Amber Castle? [21:08] Oscar     So it really did exist... [21:11] Tinasha     That was before my time, though. [21:15] Oscar     Why are there so many ludicrous     tales surrounding you witches? [21:20] Tinasha     Probably since our lifespans     are many times longer than yours. [21:24] Tinasha     Okay, I'll be off to kill her, then. [21:27] Oscar     Not happening. [21:28] Oscar     Just assume you're not allowed     to go off on your own anymore. [21:34] Als     Yarda is probably     the biggest victim in all of this. [21:38] Als     The internal strife is a sign that [21:40] Als     the Witch Who Cannot Be Summoned     is making arrangements. [21:44] Kumu     The question is, will she target     Farsas or Gandona afterwards? [21:48] Als     In that case, why don't we contact     the forces opposing the prince? [21:53] Oscar     I see. [21:56] Oscar     Perhaps that princess who went missing     might know something. SIGN    ~ Castle of Sand ~
