SIGN    ~ Pride of the Past ~
SIGN    Magdalsia Farmland Nation South of Tuldarr
[02:12] Gemma
    My king!
[02:13] Gemma
    King Hubert!
SIGN    Hubert King of Magdalsia
[02:18] Gemma
    Someone!
[02:19] Gemma
    Someone, come at once!
[02:23] Renart
    King Hubert of Magdalsia
    has mysteriously fallen into a coma.
[02:28] Renart
    He remains unconscious,
    despite no apparent abnormalities,
[02:32] Renart
    so they suspect magic.
[02:34] Tinasha
    I won't be able to tell
    unless I take a look myself.
[02:37] Renart
    Should we have an envoy investigate the matter?
[02:40] Tinasha
    No, it'd be too dangerous
    given what little we know.
[02:43] Tinasha
    I'll be the one to go.
[02:44] Renart
    Your Majesty will visit in person?
[02:47] Renart
    What if it's a trap?
[02:48] Tinasha
    I'll have people accompany me.
[02:53] Tinasha
    The most important person
    in Tuldarr right now is Legis.
[02:56] Tinasha
    I'm nothing but a temporary ruler.
[03:00] Renart
    Understood.
[03:01] Renart
    But please let the king of Farsas
    know before you depart.
[03:06] Tinasha
    Ugh, seriously?
[03:08] Tinasha
    The very thought makes me sad.
[03:10] Renart
    Isn't it better than having him
    find out and get angry?
[03:16] Tinasha
    So that sums it up.
[03:18] Tinasha
    I'll be off to Magdalsia no—
[03:21] Oscar
    "That sums it up," my foot.
[03:24] Oscar
    Listen here.
[03:25] Oscar
    It's almost the new year,
    with just over a month until our wedding.
[03:29] Oscar
    Why must you stick your nose
    in this fishy business?
[03:32] Tinasha
    They're the ones who asked us.
[03:34] Oscar
    Ignore them. Don't go.
[03:35] Tinasha
    I-I can't do that.
[03:37] Tinasha
    Magdalsia is Tuldarr's neighbor.
[03:40] Tinasha
    Time is of the essence with a life at stake.
[03:43] Tinasha
    I'll just go and take a look.
[03:45] Oscar
    How much trouble have you gotten
    yourself into doing exactly that?
[03:51] Oscar
    You let me know beforehand,
    so I'll consider that progress.
[03:54] Oscar
    Make sure you take your spirits.
[03:56] Tinasha
    So I can go, then?
[03:58] Oscar
    It's an affair that involves Tuldarr, isn't it?
[04:00] Oscar
    I have no right to stop you.
[04:03] Tinasha
    I'll be back before you know it.
[04:05] Tinasha
    Thank you so much!
[04:08] Oscar
    I swear, she really is a child.
[04:13] Tinasha
    Senn. Senn?
[04:15] Mila
    That's strange. There's no way!
[04:17] Mila
    A spirit can't ignore
    a summons from Lady Tinasha.
[04:20] Mila
    That goes against the contract!
[04:22] Tinasha
    Wh-What now?
[04:24] Tinasha
    Could something have happened to him?
[04:27] Mila
    The contract is still in place,
    so I don't think he's dead.
[04:31] Tinasha
    Itz, Karr, Saiha.
[04:35] Tinasha
    Can you go look for Senn?
[04:42] Gemma
    My apologies for having you come all this way.
SIGN    Gemma Queen of Magdalsia
[04:46] Gemma
    We can't figure out what could have caused it.
[04:49] Tinasha
    It's no trouble at all.
[04:51] Tinasha
    It is part of Tuldarr's duties
    to resolve magic-related issues.
[05:00] Gemma
    Who might you be?!
[05:01] Gemma
    You're intruding in here without my consent!
[05:03] Lucia
    How do you do, Gemma?
[05:06] Lucia
    There's no need to concern yourself
    with the king's health.
[05:09] Lucia
    He's only sleeping.
[05:12] Gemma
    I demand to know who you are!
[05:14] Lucia
    My name is Lucia.
SIGN    Lucia
[05:16] Lucia
    I'm here to act as a proxy
    while the king is asleep.
[05:20] Gemma
    A proxy?
[05:27] Gemma
    No, this can't be!
[05:29] Lucia
    You can see that's the king's handwriting.
[05:31] Lucia
    I've been given full power and authority.
[05:34] Gemma
    If His Majesty really is safe,
    I'd like for him to tell me what's going on!
[05:39] Gemma
    Get out of here!
[05:41] Lucia
    Gemma, do you not understand your situation?
[05:47] Gemma
    Gasparo!
[05:48] Gemma
    Have this woman removed at once!
[05:51] Gasparo
    Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't do that.
[05:57] Gasparo
    Lady Lucia currently holds
    the power of the throne.
[06:01] Gemma
    Why, I never!
[06:03] Gasparo
    Men, escort the queen to her chambers.
[06:07] Gemma
    S-Stop right there!
[06:09] Lucia
    There you have it.
[06:11] Lucia
    I know you've just arrived,
    but please take your leave.
[06:15] Tinasha
    Will you not let me meet the king?
[06:18] Lucia
    The king is still too unwell
    to see the queen of Tuldarr.
[06:29] Tinasha
    I'll be leaving for today.
[06:31] Tinasha
    I look forward to meeting
    again in the near future.
[06:35] Lucia
    Do forgive me for being a poor host.
[06:43] Tinasha
    I don't know if that letter of proxy
    was really written by the king,
[06:47] Tinasha
    but that woman is bad news.
[06:49] Tinasha
    Her magic rivals mine, or that of a witch.
[06:53] Pamyra
    What?
[06:55] Tinasha
    I didn't expect to run into someone so shady.
[06:58] Tinasha
    I bet Oscar will get mad at me again.
[07:01] Tinasha
    Good grief.
[07:02] Renart
    Rivaling that of a witch?
[07:04] Renart
    You really met such a human?
[07:07] Mila
    To be precise, Lady Tinasha
    has more magical power,
[07:11] Mila
    but that's not the only measure
    of someone's strength.
[07:14] Mila
    I think retreating for now was the right move.
[07:17] Tinasha
    I wonder if her goal is
    to take over the country.
[07:20] Mila
    You think so?
[07:22] Mila
    It looked like those soldiers
    were under her mind control.
[07:25] Mila
    If so, she can take control in no time at all.
[07:28] Tinasha
    I'm stumped.
[07:29] Tinasha
    Just as the year's about to end...
[07:34] Tinasha
    I do think we need to get rid of her.
[07:38] Pamyra
    Do you now?
[07:40] Tinasha
    Since she's so powerful, I'll need to
    come up with a plan to take her on.
[07:47] Mila
    She was a bona fide human, though.
[07:51] Tinasha
    She couldn't really be a witch, right?
[07:55] Renart
    There currently exist
    three witches in this world.
[07:58] Renart
    If we exclude the Witch of Silence, who
    we know is the king of Farsas' grandmother,
[08:03] Pamyra
    that leaves two witches.
[08:05] Tinasha
    The Witch of the Water
    and the Witch of the Forbidden Forest.
[08:09] Tinasha
    I've never met either of them.
[08:11] Mila
    You might be able to narrow it down
    if you ask all the spirits.
[08:15] Mila
    The Witch of the Water
    uses invisible spells, right?
[08:18] Tinasha
    Or so they say.
[08:20] Tinasha
    The Witch of the Forbidden Forest,
    on the other hand, uses psychological magic.
[08:25] Tinasha
    They both sound awful.
[08:34] Tinasha
    Oh, right, Oscar.
[08:36] Oscar
    What is it?
[08:37] Tinasha
    Do you know the story of Akashia
    and the first queen of Farsas?
[08:43] Oscar
    No.
[08:44] Oscar
    There are no records left from that period.
[08:48] Tinasha
    They must have been lost at some point in time.
[08:51] Tinasha
    They say the first queen
    gave Akashia to the founding king.
[08:56] Oscar
    That's news to me.
[08:58] Oscar
    All I know about Akashia is that an inhuman
    being pulled it out of the Lake of Silence.
[09:03] Oscar
    Who in the world told you that story?
[09:05] Tinasha
    A Farsas royal who studied abroad
     in Tuldarr four hundred years ago.
[09:11] Oscar
    Our family has a long history
    of eccentric characters.
[09:15] Oscar
    I'm not sure how reliable that story is.
[09:18] Tinasha
    I'll go get my clothes.
[09:19] Oscar
    No, this suits me just fine.
[09:30] Oscar
    I'll stop if you want me to.
[09:31] Oscar
    Now's your chance.
[09:33] Tinasha
    You don't need to stop...
[09:36] Tinasha
    That said, Oscar...
[09:39] Oscar
    What?
[09:41] Tinasha
    Let me say this first, since I feel like
    you'll be mad if I don't.
[09:45] Oscar
    Out with it.
[09:47] Tinasha
    I-I think I'm going to have to fight
    someone as strong as a witch.
[09:57] Oscar
    Go put on some clothes.
[09:59] Oscar
    We can talk after you do.
[10:00] Tinasha
    Um, it's fine, really.
[10:04] Tinasha
    Without my chastity, I would need
    a lot more power to use spirit magic...
[10:10] Tinasha
    I've got plenty of magic anyway—
[10:12] Oscar
    Go get dressed!
[10:13] Oscar
    I was the one being dumb and reckless.
[10:16] Tinasha
    I'm sorry.
[10:24] Oscar
    Am I going to spend my whole life
    without making love to her?
[10:32] Oscar
    So did you try asking
    all the spirits whether she's a witch?
[10:36] Tinasha
    That's the thing.
[10:37] Tinasha
    One of the spirits knows
    the Witch of the Forbidden Forest,
[10:42] Tinasha
    but he's currently gone missing.
[10:45] Oscar
    Gone missing?
[10:47] Oscar
    That raises the chances that this woman
    is the Witch of the Forbidden Forest.
[10:52] Tinasha
    You think so?
[10:54] Oscar
    When two events happen at the same time,
    you should suspect that they're related.
[10:58] Oscar
    If that missing spirit was still here,
[11:01] Oscar
    you could know whether she was
    the Witch of the Forbidden Forest.
[11:04] Tinasha
    I suppose that's true.
[11:09] Oscar
    Could Tuldarr have some remaining
    records of the witches?
[11:14] Tinasha
    Even if we find out their
    names or appearances,
[11:16] Tinasha
    there are no records left of their practices.
[11:20] Tinasha
    Leonora, the witch I killed, was only
    first recorded after she had died.
[11:26] Oscar
    I see.
[11:28] Tinasha
    The only others who might know are Travis,
[11:32] Tinasha
    as well as Lavinia, as a fellow witch.
[11:34] Oscar
    I'll try reaching out to Lavinia.
[11:37] Oscar
    Don't go asking Travis.
[11:39] Tinasha
    What? Are you sure?
[11:41] Oscar
    I'm sure it'll be fine.
[11:42] Oscar
    If she makes any moves, let me know at once.
[11:46] Tinasha
    What about a preemptive attack?
[11:48] Oscar
    You can't be serious...
[11:50] Tinasha
    Why not?
[11:51] Tinasha
    A witch can wage war
    against an entire country by herself.
[11:55] Tinasha
    If she intends to mobilize the nation
    and start a war, we can't let that happen.
[12:00] Tinasha
    We should strike before she's fully prepared.
[12:03] Oscar
    I understand your logic, but it
    won't be pretty if we cross that line.
[12:08] Oscar
    It could affect the entire mainland.
[12:13] Oscar
    You...
[12:17] Oscar
    Anyway, that's a no.
[12:19] Oscar
    You always go overboard.
[12:22] Tinasha
    Got it.
[12:29] Oscar
    You never run out of annoying enemies, huh?
[12:45] Lazar
    Your Majesty, the new year festivities
    went off without a hitch.
[12:48] Oscar
    Yeah.
[12:50] Lazar
    The Gandona Founding Day
    celebrations are in two weeks,
[12:52] Lazar
    with Queen Tinasha's abdication
    and your wedding two weeks after that.
[12:58] Oscar
    Sure is a hectic schedule.
[13:00] Oscar
    But it's out of our hands.
[13:02] Oscar
    You can retire for the night.
[13:04] Lazar
    Sure.
[13:10] Oscar
    You can go back as well.
[13:14] Mila
    You noticed me?
[13:15] Oscar
    It felt like I was being watched.
[13:18] Oscar
    Are you acting on Tinasha's orders?
[13:20] Mila
    Yep.
[13:21] Oscar
    Did you find that missing spirit?
[13:23] Mila
    Not a trace.
[13:25] Mila
    How dare he go off on his own
    and worry Lady Tinasha?
[13:29] Oscar
    That aside, I received a reply
    from Lavinia about the witch.
[13:35] Oscar
    The description matches that of
    the Witch of the Forbidden Forest.
[13:38] Oscar
    Her name is Lucrezia.
[13:40] Mila
    It really was her!
[13:42] Mila
    This sucks.
[13:43] Oscar
    It says here that she shows
    no interest in politics.
[13:47] Oscar
    I wonder what could have changed her mind.
[13:49] Mila
    Humans change all the time,
    so this is no different.
[13:53] Mila
    The part I can't stand is the fact
    that she uses psychological magic.
[14:00] Mila
    I'll be leaving.
[14:06] Oscar
    I don't stand a chance against
    her psychological spells, huh?
SIGN    What a headache.
SIGN    I didn't expect a barrier inside the mirror, resulting in all this.
[14:18] Miralys
    That's what you get for being greedy.
SIGN    I'm so sorry.
SIGN    It seems only half the mirror activated.
SIGN    Leaving us with our unlikely ruler.
[14:32] Miralys
    You had it coming.
SIGN    Well, it'll be fine.
SIGN    I have many schemes at hand.
SIGN    Let's go ahead with this one first.
[14:47] Lazar
    Your Majesty!
[14:48] Lazar
    What is this before me?!
[14:52] Oscar
    Oh, we received it as a gift for the new year.
[14:55] Oscar
    Feel free to enjoy it.
[14:57] Lazar
    A-Are you sure?
[14:59] Oscar
    Don't be shy.
[15:01] Oscar
    I'm not one for sweets, anyway.
[15:03] Lazar
    In that case, I'll dig right in!
[15:10] Oscar
    That said, I want you to work
    twice as hard after you eat that...
[15:16] Oscar
    Lazar?!
[15:48] Tinasha
    This magic circle really is well-made.
[15:52] Tinasha
    I see that it mostly maintains
     its form with minimal magic,
[15:55] Tinasha
    and it amplifies upon activation
    by absorbing the magic around it.
[15:59] Sylvia
    Thank you very much.
[16:01] Sylvia
    I wanted to send mages to areas
    they haven't been deployed,
[16:05] Sylvia
    and this is what I came up with.
[16:06] Tinasha
    You might be able to apply this
    for hidden magic circles.
[16:11] Doan
    Queen Tinasha, I thought you were here
    to discuss wedding plans.
[16:15] Tinasha
    Oh, it completely slipped my mind.
[16:19] Tinasha
    Oscar, are you in... here...
[16:23] Tinasha
    Oscar!
[16:24] Tinasha
    Itz! Make sure Lazar is okay!
[16:36] Tinasha
    That's a relief.
[16:39] Tinasha
    This spell structure and this hex...
[16:42] Tinasha
    I've come across it somewhere...
[16:45] Tinasha
    Where's Akashia?
[16:48] Tinasha
    I was tricked!
[16:50] Tinasha
    Itz!
[16:50] Tinasha
    Keep an eye on these two!
[16:52] Tinasha
    I'll be right back!
SIGN    Was there always a door here?
SIGN    There's all sorts of unexpected happenings this time.
SIGN    Well, then...
SIGN    Ow, that smarts.
SIGN    Any longer, and it might have melted me down to the bone.
SIGN    So this is why only royalty can wield this sword.
SIGN    Well now.
SIGN    I should be safe to use teleportation magic from here.
[17:43] Tinasha
    Long time no see.
[17:45] Tinasha
    Where do you think you're going?
SIGN    My, oh my.
SIGN    I didn't expect you to pick up on it.
[17:52] Tinasha
    Put that down on the ground.
[17:55] Tinasha
    And the same goes for you.
SIGN    Now that's a proposition that turns me on.
SIGN    But I have someone waiting for me.
[18:03] Tinasha
    Then die.
SIGN    We will meet again soon,
SIGN    Witch of the Azure Moon.
[18:16] Tinasha
    Witch of the Azure Moon?
[18:28] Oscar
    How's Lazar?
[18:29] Tinasha
    He's doing well.
[18:30] Tinasha
    Doan is looking after him.
[18:33] Oscar
    I see.
[18:34] Tinasha
    Valt must be the one responsible
    for the attack on Legis.
[18:39] Tinasha
    Both of you had the same hex placed on you.
[18:42] Tinasha
    You almost fell into a coma like Legis did.
[18:45] Tinasha
    Luckily, I was familiar with the hex.
[18:48] Tinasha
    However, he did succeed
    in making off with Eleterria.
[18:54] Tinasha
    I'm sorry.
[18:59] Oscar
    Look here, Tinasha.
[19:01] Oscar
    First, you saved my life.
[19:03] Oscar
    Thank you.
[19:05] Tinasha
    Back in the Dark Age, a mistake
    like this would mean the gallows.
[19:09] Tinasha
    Do you have any last words?
[19:12] Oscar
    Sorry.
[19:14] Oscar
    I should have been more cautious.
[19:15] Tinasha
    I'm usually the one getting
    lectured, so this is kind of fun.
[19:20] Tinasha
    I really am glad that nothing
    terrible happened to you.
[19:25] Tinasha
    Valt was after both halves of Eleterria,
    so he probably won't use the orb right away.
[19:30] Tinasha
    On the other hand, we'll need to
    tighten up security on the other orb.
[19:34] Oscar
    Should we just destroy it?
[19:36] Tinasha
    We have no idea what that might do.
[19:40] Oscar
    Will it be safe in the Tuldarr treasury?
[19:43] Tinasha
    I'd like to think so, but I can't help but
    worry after the abnormal actions he took.
[19:51] Tinasha
    Valt is an expert at reading minds.
[19:54] Tinasha
    Perhaps not people in general,
[19:57] Tinasha
    but rather, it seems he knows
    the two of us very well.
[20:00] Oscar
    Isn't that because he infiltrated
    Farsas Castle as Nephelli's attendant?
[20:06] Oscar
    He even spoke with you.
[20:07] Tinasha
    He did, but it goes beyond
    something so superficial.
[20:12] Tinasha
    His knowledge is more intimate.
[20:14] Oscar
    Intimate?
[20:15] Tinasha
    It's probably the current me that he knows.
[20:20] Tinasha
    Which is why I can't continue like this...
[20:31] Oscar
    Tinasha...
[20:34] Tinasha
    What is it?
[20:36] Tinasha
    Pleading for your life?
[20:38] Oscar
    You really are planning to kill me.
[20:41] Tinasha
    That's not true.
[20:43] Tinasha
    We haven't even gotten married yet.
[20:46] Oscar
    Fine, then.
[20:47] Oscar
    If you kill me, do it after
    our kids have grown up.
[20:50] Tinasha
    I'll consider it.
[22:34] Tinasha
    I've grown soft lately.
[22:37] Mila
    Especially after you got engaged.
[22:40] Mila
    But you've been that way
    ever since you came to this age.
[22:43] Mila
    Or should I say you've become spineless?
[22:46] Tinasha
    It's refreshing when you're brutally honest.
[22:50] Karr
    But you know, she used to be
    a nice, honest, and sweet little girl,
[22:55] Karr
    before her first coronation.
[22:57] Tinasha
    I couldn't still act like a child
    after becoming queen.
[23:03] Tinasha
    It seems Valt has seen through me with
    shocking clarity ever since we first met.
[23:11] Tinasha
    But he won't continue to do as he pleases.
