[00:05] Oscar
    If you're bored, make me some tea.
[00:07] Tinasha
    I can't believe you want
    hot tea on a day like this.
[00:12] Oscar
    It seems there are signs of
    a strange cult in the castle city lately.
[00:16] Lazar
    I hear they worship a god called Simila.
[00:19] Lazar
    Right now, they're a minor nuisance at most.
[00:24] Tinasha
    I have to meet Legis today, so I'll be
    returning to Tuldarr for some time.
[00:32] Oscar
    What's wrong?
[00:34] Tinasha
    There's poison in this.
[00:36] Oscar
    What?!
[00:37] Tinasha
    Oh, please don't worry.
[00:40] Tinasha
    Potions have no effect on me.
[00:42] Tinasha
    The magical power in my body immediately
    breaks down their composition.
[00:46] Oscar
    That's a relief.
[00:48] Oscar
    Wait, no, it's not!
[00:50] Lazar
    This pitcher was put here
     for Lady Tinasha specifically.
[00:53] Oscar
    Investigate it at once.
[00:55] Oscar
    And even in Tuldarr,
    have a defensive barrier up at all times.
[00:59] Tinasha
    Understood.
SIGN    ~ Unanswered Prayer ~
[02:37] Lazar
    The water was filled by a lady-in-waiting
    who's served the palace for five years.
[02:41] Oscar
    Where did she acquire the poison?
[02:43] Doan
    A mysterious mage handed it
    to her at the town market.
[02:47] Lazar
    He told her that Lady Tinasha was really
    a witch trying to deceive His Majesty...
[02:55] Oscar
    Oh, Mila.
[02:56] Oscar
    What do you want?
[02:57] Mila
    Lady Tinasha says
    she won't be returning tonight.
[03:00] Mila
    It's top secret, but Legis
    was attacked and is currently comatose.
[03:05] Oscar
    Two of Tuldarr's successors to the throne,
    attacked on the same day?
[03:09] Mila
    He's in Lady Tinasha's care,
    so it's not life-threatening,
[03:13] Mila
    but she'll be staying in Tuldarr
    for the time being.
[03:16] Lazar
    Do you think both cases
     share the same culprit?
[03:20] Oscar
    If so, then they work unusually fast.
[03:25] Delilah
    It's a pleasure to make
    your acquaintance, Your Majesty.
SIGN    Delilah
[03:28] Delilah
    My name is Delilah.
[03:31] Delilah
    When I heard about the witch's curse
    placed on Your Majesty,
[03:34] Delilah
    I couldn't stop myself
    from making the journey here.
[03:37] Delilah
    Please let me serve you.
[03:39] Delilah
    I have the power to withstand the curse.
[03:43] Oscar
    Where did you learn of it?
[03:44] Oscar
    This is a confidential matter.
[03:47] Delilah
    I come from a family of fortune tellers.
[03:51] Delilah
    Our predictions are never wrong.
[03:58] Oscar
    Fine by me.
[03:59] Oscar
    We'll prepare a room for you.
[04:00] Oscar
    Live here how you please.
[04:01] Lazar
    Please wait a moment!
[04:03] Lazar
    What about Lady Tinasha?
[04:04] Oscar
    That's enough out of you.
[04:05] Oscar
    This is my decision.
[04:07] Oscar
    Do any of you object?
[04:10] Lazar
    We received word from Tuldarr that
    they've arrested Prince Legis's attacker.
[04:15] Oscar
    Her spirit came to tell me directly as well.
[04:18] Lazar
    But it seems there's no connection
    to the mage who tried to poison Lady Tinasha.
[04:24] Oscar
    Sounds like it.
[04:28] Oscar
    What's with the gloomy look?
[04:29] Oscar
    Cut it out.
[04:31] Lazar
    Your Majesty.
[04:32] Lazar
    With all due respect, I don't approve
    of that woman being at your side.
[04:38] Lazar
    Don't tell me you're trying
    to provoke Lady Tinasha!
[04:41] Oscar
    I wouldn't do that and risk
    having her destroy the castle.
[04:43] Oscar
    That's too eccentric, even for me.
[04:45] Oscar
    Anyway, just leave it be.
[04:47] Oscar
    I hear Legis's treatment will take some time.
[04:58] Oscar
    Tinasha, you're back?
[05:01] Tinasha
    Long time no see.
[05:03] Oscar
    How's Legis doing?
[05:05] Tinasha
    Fortunately, he's recovered.
[05:06] Delilah
    Your Majesty!
[05:08] Delilah
    I've called over a tailor.
[05:10] Delilah
    If you'd like, please join me...
[05:13] Delilah
    I haven't seen you around here before.
[05:16] Delilah
    Are you a mage of some kind?
[05:18] Tinasha
    It's nice to meet you.
[05:20] Tinasha
    My name is Tinasha, and I come from Tuldarr.
[05:23] Delilah
    Well, well.
[05:25] Delilah
    So you're the princess of Tuldarr?
[05:31] Delilah
    You seem to be quite close with that woman.
[05:34] Delilah
    You should choose your friends more wisely.
[05:38] Tinasha
    What are you implying?
[05:40] Delilah
    Befriending Tuldarr royalty
    must come with lots of benefits, indeed.
[05:47] Sylvia
    I would never...
[05:50] Tinasha
    Um, you seem to be offering advice
    without even introducing yourself.
[05:54] Tinasha
    And who exactly might you be?
[05:58] Tinasha
    I won't tolerate anyone
    who insults a friend of mine.
[06:02] Tinasha
    How about you look in the mirror
    before giving other people advice?
[06:10] Oscar
    Go easy on the intimidation.
[06:12] Oscar
    She's my lover.
[06:17] Tinasha
    I see...
[06:19] Tinasha
    So that insolent woman is his mistress.
[06:22] Doan
    Well, you know about His Majesty.
[06:25] Doan
    She claims she can withstand it.
[06:28] Tinasha
    By "it", you mean...
[06:30] Tinasha
    That's impossible for her.
[06:32] Tinasha
    She's sure to die.
[06:33] Doan
    What? Y-You mean it? I'll let His Majesty...
[06:36] Tinasha
    They both gave their consent, right?
[06:42] Tinasha
    I feel like...
[06:43] Tinasha
    I've been a fool this whole time.
[06:51] Tinasha
    Oscar, you idiot!
[06:54] Tinasha
    After saying you'd make sure I was happy...
[07:03] Travis
    I like the look on your face.
[07:06] Tinasha
    Travis.
[07:08] Travis
    What's it been, four hundred years?
[07:10] Travis
    Looks like you traveled through time,
    thanks to my tips.
[07:13] Travis
    How'd it go with that man?
[07:17] Travis
    What?
[07:18] Travis
    You fell into a magic slumber to meet him,
    and he shows no interest in you?
[07:22] Travis
    How sad.
[07:25] Travis
    Why don't you just kill her?
[07:29] Tinasha
    Humans aren't supposed to do that.
[07:32] Travis
    Humans are the only ones who ever do.
[07:37] Travis
    If you won't kill her, would you rather die?
[07:40] Travis
    Since you're suffering as is.
[07:41] Tinasha
    What?
[07:47] Delilah
    Yes.
[07:48] Delilah
    He's made me his mistress.
[07:50] Old Man
    It looks like poison doesn't work
    on Tuldarr's princess.
[07:54] Old Man
    If you can, have her removed.
[07:56] Old Man
    Can you get in the treasury?
[07:58] Delilah
    I think I can, if I ask.
[08:01] Old Man
    Be careful.
[08:02] Old Man
    If you make it in, look for a box.
[08:04] Old Man
    One containing a small orb
    etched with a pattern.
[08:12] Oscar
    You were quite the cautious one.
[08:14] Delilah
    Y-Your Majesty! You have the wrong idea!
[08:17] Oscar
    I'll receive a report later to see
    who drove you to do this.
[08:20] Oscar
    I already have someone
    working to break my curse.
[08:25] Oscar
    She may be odd, but she's a fine woman.
[08:28] Oscar
    I've got my hands full with her.
[08:35] Travis
    Done already?
[08:37] Travis
    I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.
[08:39] Travis
    As for the rest...
[08:40] Travis
    I'll have that man of yours pay instead.
[08:44] Tinasha
    I won't let you get close to him!
[08:48] Tinasha
    Take form!
[08:59] Tinasha
    Eh?
[09:09] Tinasha
    I don't want to die yet...
[09:15] Kumu
    As for who Delilah was communicating with,
[09:17] Kumu
    they're in a building in the Farsas castle city.
[09:21] Oscar
    That shady cult, huh?
[09:23] Oscar
    Head there at once and round them all up.
[09:25] Oscar
    Don't let anyone slip away.
[09:26] Group
    Yes.
[09:29] Oscar
    What's wrong?
[09:30] Kumu
    Your Majesty.
[09:31] Kumu
    I just felt a powerful surge
    of magic from the north.
[09:34] Kumu
    It's on the level of a forbidden curse.
[09:37] Oscar
    What?
[09:39] Oscar
    Where's Tinasha?
[09:41] Mila
    Come help!
[09:42] Mila
    Lady Tinasha's going to die!
[09:51] Travis
    The hubby's here already?
[09:56] Oscar
    Tinasha!
[10:07] Travis
    I wouldn't swing that sword so wantonly.
[10:10] Travis
    It's dangerous.
[10:11] Oscar
    What did you do to her?
[10:13] Travis
    Nothing much.
[10:14] Travis
    We just had a little fun.
[10:17] Oscar
    Don't think you can escape alive, monster.
[10:20] Travis
    You can tell I'm not human?
[10:23] Travis
    How amusing.
[10:26] Travis
    Her barrier, I see.
[10:31] Travis
    Enough of your mockery.
[10:34] Travis
    I'll burn you alive until nothing remains.
[10:38] Tinasha
    I won't let you kill him.
[10:40] Oscar
    Tinasha!
[10:42] Tinasha
    I won't let you lay a finger on him,
    no matter the cost.
[10:49] Travis
    What a fool you are.
[10:51] Travis
    All that, for someone
    who shows no interest in you.
[10:54] Travis
    How pointless.
[11:00] Travis
    I'm tired.
[11:01] Travis
    I'll play with you some other day.
[11:06] Kumu
    We arrested all the leaders of the cult
    that sent Delilah to the castle.
[11:11] Oscar
    But you didn't find the mage
    who gave that servant the poison?
[11:15] Als
    To summarize what we know,
    they have two motives.
[11:19] Als
    First, to seize a mysterious orb
    they say is in the treasury.
[11:23] Als
    Second, to assassinate Lady Tinasha,
    or drive her away from this kingdom.
[11:30] Oscar
    We'll have to sort through the treasury.
[11:33] Oscar
    Something feels off...
[11:37] Oscar
    Tinasha.
[11:38] Tinasha
    Um... I have a favor to ask.
[11:42] Oscar
    Out with it.
[11:44] Tinasha
    Teach me how to use a sword.
[11:53] Oscar
    Are your injuries healed?
[11:55] Tinasha
    Yes.
[11:56] Tinasha
    Well, rather than healed, I think
    Travis regrew all the parts I'd lost.
[12:00] Oscar
    Regrew it all?
[12:02] Oscar
    What is that monster Travis, anyway?
[12:05] Tinasha
    He's one of the highest-ranking demons.
[12:08] Tinasha
    In common parlance, a demon king.
[12:11] Tinasha
    That aside, why did you tie up that woman?
[12:15] Tinasha
    Did you two have a lovers' spat?
[12:17] Oscar
    What are you talking about?
[12:18] Oscar
    I was leading her on from the beginning.
[12:21] Oscar
    I had my suspicions the moment
    she mentioned my curse.
[12:24] Oscar
    It ended up being the same group
    that tried to poison you.
[12:28] Tinasha
    You should have told me that from the start.
[12:31] Tinasha
    If I had known, I...
[12:33] Oscar
    Wouldn't have shattered any windows?
[12:35] Tinasha
    I didn't shatter any this time!
[12:39] Oscar
    That reminds me, when we fought
    against Druza, I borrowed your vision.
[12:43] Oscar
    Can anyone see like you do
    with enough practice?
[12:46] Tinasha
    It's impossible unless you're born with it,
[12:49] Tinasha
    but you have the potential.
[12:51] Oscar
    I do?
[12:52] Tinasha
    If you develop the awareness.
[12:54] Tinasha
    That can be something
    I teach you some other time.
[12:57] Oscar
    Thanks.
[13:03] Oscar
    I will say though,
    you have the fundamentals down.
[13:05] Tinasha
    Before I was crowned queen, I received
    a short crash course in swordplay.
[13:11] Oscar
    It's fairly traditional Farsas technique.
[13:14] Tinasha
    How can you tell?
[13:15] Tinasha
    That's absolutely right.
[13:19] Oscar
    Must have been an odd fellow,
    teaching a trueborn mage to use a sword.
[13:25] Tinasha
    He was a strict but kind man.
[13:37] Miralys
    How did it go, Valt?
SIGN    A failure on both ends.
SIGN    They were captured.
[13:43] Miralys
    Is that really okay?
SIGN    It's fine.
SIGN    Powerful as she may be, she's a lot easier to handle than when she was a witch.
SIGN    This has never happened before.
[13:56] Als
    Here's a list of all
     the articles in the treasury.
[13:59] Oscar
    This is going to be a pain.
[14:01] Als
    Once we've had trustworthy
    people verify all the items,
[14:04] Als
    we'll seal off the underground labyrinth.
[14:06] Tinasha
    There's a labyrinth under the castle?
[14:09] Oscar
    Forty years ago,
    a burglar got into the treasury.
[14:13] Oscar
    They made an escape,
    and no one found out what they took.
[14:16] Oscar
    The king at the time, my grandfather,
    was quite distraught.
[14:21] Tinasha
    So he built a labyrinth?
[14:23] Oscar
    He built it so that once someone enters,
[14:27] Oscar
    the doors can't be opened for a full day
    by anyone outside the royal family.
[14:30] Oscar
    Even royalty can't open it
    from the inside for a full day.
[14:33] Tinasha
    I suppose it really does run in the family.
[14:36] Oscar
    Did you say something?
[14:38] Als
    So you take no issue to the labyrinth
    being sealed off as planned?
[14:42] Oscar
    Let me see...
SIGN    Underground Labyrinth Depths of the Farsas Treasury
[14:47] Tinasha
    I swear...
[14:48] Tinasha
    You really can be unreasonable at times.
[14:51] Oscar
    Think of it as practice.
[14:54] Oscar
    This path seems pretty straight
    for a labyrinth, though.
[14:58] Tinasha
    I bet he just wanted to call it a labyrinth.
[15:05] Tinasha
    What's a lake doing under the castle?
[15:08] Tinasha
    What's more, I sense something ominous.
[15:12] Oscar
    Could this be the Lake of Silence?
SIGN    Lake of Silence
[15:16] Tinasha
    What exactly is the Lake of Silence?
[15:19] Oscar
    It's from an old Farsas legend.
[15:21] Oscar
    An inhuman creature is said to have
    pulled Akashia from the lake.
[15:24] Oscar
    The people drew close
    and settled in its vicinity, or so it goes.
[15:28] Oscar
    I was sure it was just myth.
[15:30] Oscar
    I can't believe
    they built a castle on top of it.
[15:36] Oscar
    What's a door doing there?
[15:44] Oscar
    Tinasha!
[15:51] Oscar
    That idiot!
[16:09] Tinasha
    Th-Thank you...
[16:13] Oscar
    Are you okay?
[16:14] Tinasha
    I think I broke some ribs.
[16:17] Oscar
    Can you heal yourself?
[16:19] Tinasha
    Actually, it looks like I can't use magic.
[16:24] Oscar
    What do you mean?
[16:26] Tinasha
    This lake water...
[16:28] Tinasha
    It must contain some
    of the same material as Akashia.
[16:32] Tinasha
    Drinking it disturbs the magic in your body,
    making you unable to cast spells.
[16:42] Oscar
    This looks a little familiar.
[16:54] Tinasha
    What is this place?
[16:56] Oscar
    Basically, this has got to be
    Grandpa's hideout.
[17:02] Tinasha
    If it has fresh water,
    I'd like to wash this water off.
[17:08] Oscar
    Feeling better?
[17:09] Tinasha
    Yes, this should do.
[17:12] Tinasha
    That reminds me, why are you
    going through the treasury all of a sudden?
[17:16] Tinasha
    Looking for something?
[17:17] Oscar
    Oh, I guess I never told you about it.
[17:20] Oscar
    That shady cult was after
    something in this treasury.
[17:25] Oscar
    We're not sure what exactly it is.
[17:28] Oscar
    Apparently, it's a red orb
    that fits in your palm.
[17:34] Oscar
    What's wrong?
[17:35] Tinasha
    Don't touch that orb!
[17:37] Oscar
    Eh?
[17:38] Tinasha
    Don't let anyone touch it.
[17:41] Tinasha
    No, don't look for it...
[17:47] Tinasha
    Don't leave me...
[17:50] Oscar
    Tinasha!
[17:53] Oscar
    You should tell me if you've got a fever!
[17:59] Tinasha
    Oscar.
[18:01] Tinasha
    The same orb exists in Tuldarr as well.
[18:05] Tinasha
    One of a different color.
[18:07] Oscar
    Really?
[18:09] Tinasha
    I sealed away the one in Tuldarr
    four hundred years ago.
[18:14] Oscar
    Sealed it away?
[18:15] Oscar
    Is it dangerous?
[18:18] Tinasha
    It holds an incredible power,
    unprecedented in magical history.
[18:22] Tinasha
    That orb sends its user into the past,
[18:26] Tinasha
    a feat no mage or demon is capable of.
[18:30] Oscar
    It does sound dangerous,
    but can't it be useful when used right?
[18:34] Tinasha
    Not exactly.
[18:36] Tinasha
    When you use it, everything you have
    is erased as you go back in time,
[18:41] Tinasha
    and you must rebuild it all
    from the very beginning.
[18:47] Tinasha
    When I was a child,
    there was someone who saved my life.
[18:52] Tinasha
    But the price he paid
[18:55] Tinasha
    was giving up everything he had,
    from his past to his future.
[19:01] Oscar
    So that was the man who saved your life?
[19:12] Oscar
    I won't leave you.
[19:14] Oscar
    I don't want to change the past.
[19:17] Oscar
    I won't look for the orb
    if you don't want me to,
[19:19] Oscar
    and I'm okay with sealing it away.
[19:21] Oscar
    So don't you ever cry like that again.
[19:31] Oscar
    If this was my grandfather's hideout,
[19:34] Oscar
    there should be a shortcut that
    doesn't pass through the treasury.
[19:41] Oscar
    "Don't leave me," huh?
[19:49] Oscar
    This is it.
[19:55] Oscar
    Tinasha, we can go back.
[20:00] Oscar
    You already knew my name the moment we met.
[20:11] Oscar
    Why must you come in through the window?
[20:14] Oscar
    Are your broken bones healed?
[20:16] Tinasha
    Yes, I'm all better.
[20:18] Tinasha
    Sorry to worry you like that.
[20:21] Oscar
    Actually, when I brought you back,
    everyone was mad at me, even Als.
[20:27] Tinasha
    I-I'm sorry.
[20:30] Oscar
    No, it was my fault.
[20:32] Oscar
    So what do we do with that orb?
[20:35] Oscar
    We can seal it away if you want.
[20:36] Tinasha
    Isn't it an heirloom from your mother?
[20:39] Oscar
    An heirloom? My mother?
[20:42] Oscar
    In that case, I'll ask my father.
[20:44] Tinasha
    Y-Yes.
[20:53] Oscar
    Tinasha.
[20:54] Oscar
    I don't know anything.
[20:56] Oscar
    And I don't need to know.
[20:59] Oscar
    Everything I've done is by my own choice.
[21:01] Oscar
    I have no complaints or regrets.
[21:04] Oscar
    The same holds true for every choice I make,
    regardless of time or place.
[21:09] Oscar
    So stop feeling sorry.
[21:11] Tinasha
    Oscar...
[21:12] Tinasha
    You figured it out.
[21:17] Tinasha
    I'm glad I came to this age and met you.
[21:23] Tinasha
    It's only been four months since I woke up,
    but you've made me so happy.
[21:36] Tinasha
    This is enough for me.
[21:39] Tinasha
    In the future, even if we part ways,
[21:44] Tinasha
    you'll always be my...
[21:51] Tinasha
    Good night.
