Yukichi! Yukichi!
**[01:06] Yukiya**
H-Help me.
**[01:08] Yukiya**
Please help.
**[01:09] Yukiya**
Save my brother!
**[01:11] Yukiya**
I beg you! I don't mind if I die! So please!
**[01:33] Yukiya**
A golden raven?
**[01:41] Nazukihiko**
Have no fear. I'll return
both of you to your nests.
**[01:46] Nazukihiko**
We may meet again someday.
**[01:50] Nazukihiko**
For now, forget and go to sleep.

***SIGN*** Wisteria Hall, Cherry Blossom Palace
**[03:29] Empress**
What do you say to "Asebi"?
**[03:32] Asebi**
"Asebi"?
**[03:34] Empress**
As your alias.
**[03:38] Empress**
A lady who might marry
the Prince, however lowly,
**[03:43] Empress**
can hardly remain
a nameless second daughter.
**[03:46] Empress**
Or does my choice of name dissatisfy you?
**[03:51] Asebi**
P-Perish the thought!
**[03:53] Asebi**
A name from Your Majesty's own lips
honors me more than I deserve.
**[03:58] Ladies-in-Waiting**
Goodness.
**[04:00] Ladies-in-Waiting**
"Asebi," she said.
**[04:00] Ladies-in-Waiting**
Her Majesty took the joke too far.
**[04:03] Ladies-in-Waiting**
Does the girl not realize?
**[04:04] Empress**
Then, let it be so, Lady Asebi.
***SIGN*** Spring Hall
**[04:09] Empress**
I leave the Spring Hall in your care.
**[04:12] Asebi**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[04:14] Takimoto**
Congratulations.
**[04:17] Takimoto**
Today, through the Rite of Ascension,
**[04:19] Takimoto**
you have formally entered contention
for His Highness's hand.
***SIGN*** First daughter of
the Southern House
Hamayu
**[04:24] Takimoto**
First daughter of the
Southern House, Lady Hamayu.
***SIGN*** First daughter of
the Western House
Masuho-no-Susuki
**[04:27] Takimoto**
First daughter of the Western House,
Lady Masuho-no-Susuki.
***SIGN*** Third daughter of
the Northern House
Shiratama
**[04:31] Takimoto**
Third daughter of the
Northern House, Lady Shiratama.
***SIGN*** Second daughter of
the Eastern House
Asebi
**[04:34] Takimoto**
And second daughter of
the Eastern House, Lady Asebi.
**[04:38] Takimoto**
Yet only one among you will be chosen.
**[04:42] Takimoto**
Here in the Cherry Blossom Palace,
you will spur each other to new heights,
**[04:46] Takimoto**
so that you may experience
a joyous day in one year's time.
***SIGN*** The Empress
Her Majesty
Omurasaki
**[05:04] Haruhito**
Still, I can't help feeling lonely
without our guest of honor.
**[05:10] Haruhito**
I had hoped he would accept
the invitation for once.
**[05:14] Genya**
Honestly, what is His Highness thinking?
***SIGN*** Lord of the North
Genya
**[05:18] Genya**
I wish he'd show the people sending him
their dear daughters some courtesy.
***SIGN*** Lord of the East
Haruhito
**[05:23] Haruhito**
And I believe Lady Shiratama is only 14.
**[05:26] Haruhito**
You must worry for her.
***SIGN*** Lord of the South
Toru
**[05:28] Toru**
He can't neglect the Four Houses
and still hope to govern.
**[05:33] Toru**
I don't doubt he'll realize that soon.
**[05:35] Akira**
Oh, I'm shaking in my boots!
***SIGN*** Lord of the West
Akira
**[05:37] Akira**
Whatever are you plotting?
**[05:40] Akira**
In any case, there will be no hard feelings,
no matter whose daughter he chooses.
**[05:48] Fujinami**
Sister!
***SIGN*** Princess
Fujinami
**[05:53] Asebi**
Your Highness!
**[05:56] Fujinami**
How many years has it been?
I never dreamed I'd get to see you here.
**[06:00] Asebi**
Forgive me. I didn't even write.
**[06:02] Asebi**
Seeing you well brings me
the greatest pleasure.
**[06:05] Fujinami**
Stop being so formal.
There's no need for ceremony between us.
**[06:10] Asebi**
Very well. Princess Fujinami, then.
**[06:14] Fujinami**
Still, you really have grown into a beauty.
**[06:19] Fujinami**
You're sure to catch my brother's...
I mean, His Highness's eye.
**[06:24] Asebi**
Really? Thank you.
**[06:27] Asebi**
But I wouldn't go that far.
**[06:29] Fujinami**
No, I mean it!
**[06:31] Fujinami**
I hope he chooses you.
**[06:35] Fujinami**
I mean, then we really *would* be sisters.
**[06:40] Hamayu**
You're busy winning over
His Highness's little sister already?
**[06:45] Hamayu**
Not half bad.
**[06:47] Asebi**
Um, aren't you the Southern House's—
**[06:50] Fujinami**
Lady Hamayu, you forget yourself.
**[06:52] Hamayu**
Do I? I hope you'll forgive me.
**[06:59] Hamayu**
You, uh, second daughter
of the Eastern House.
**[07:03] Asebi**
Y-Yes?
**[07:05] Hamayu**
Are you really happy to
receive a name like Asebi?
**[07:11] Asebi**
Yes. It's a lovely name.
**[07:15] Hamayu**
If that doesn't top it all!
**[07:17] Fujinami**
Hamayu!
**[07:18] Asebi**
Um, did I say something odd?
**[07:21] Ukogi**
My lady, allow me to explain—
**[07:24] Masuho**
You write "asebi" as
"horse intoxicating tree."
**[07:32] Masuho**
Asebi flowers have poison in them.
**[07:37] Masuho**
Nibbling on them makes
horses disgracefully drunk.
**[07:42] Masuho**
The flowers symbolize you.
And the horse...
**[07:48] Hamayu**
Tell her straight. Don't try to dress it up.
**[07:50] Hamayu**
The "horse" is the Prince.
**[07:53] Asebi**
What?
**[07:54] Hamayu**
"Just like brainless horses
get drunk eating asebi,
**[07:58] Hamayu**
a man of the Prince's caliber
will lose his wits over you."
**[08:03] Hamayu**
"So have at it."
**[08:05] Hamayu**
Basically, the Empress used
your alias to insult the Prince.
**[08:12] Hamayu**
It's just the sort of thing she would do.
**[08:15] Asebi**
What? His Highness, a horse? I never—
**[08:18] Ukogi**
My lady! You mustn't say another word!
**[08:23] Asebi**
Princess Fujinami...
**[08:26] Masuho**
What a shame. After hearing
her dear brother so insulted, well...
**[08:32] Masuho**
You aren't to blame.
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
**[08:36] Masuho**
I am Masuho-no-Susuki,
first daughter of the Western House.
**[08:39] Asebi**
Oh, I'm—
**[08:41] Masuho**
I love beautiful and charming things.
**[08:45] Masuho**
I think we could be great friends.
**[08:48] Asebi**
Y-Yes.
**[08:50] Masuho**
Still, my condolences on attracting
such unpleasant attention.
**[08:55] Hamayu**
Hah. There's that western "friendliness"!
**[08:58] Masuho**
Better a people pleaser
than a greedy southern boor.
**[09:02] Hamayu**
The Southern House is honest.
**[09:04] Hamayu**
We can't fake smiles that shamelessly.
**[09:07] Masuho**
How nice for you.
**[09:08] Masuho**
I suggest welcoming
His Highness with a frown, then.
**[09:11] Asebi**
U-Um...
**[09:12] Hamayu**
Yes, I think I will.
**[09:13] Shiratama**
They don't consider you a threat.
**[09:16] Asebi**
Lady Shiratama?
**[09:18] Shiratama**
They don't think either
of us could ever be chosen.
**[09:26] Hamayu**
That's enough.
Any more will spoil my drinks.
**[09:31] Masuho**
Well then, if you'll all excuse me.
***SIGN*** Spring Hall, Cherry Blossom Palace
**[09:48] Ukogi**
I should have explained
the situation more clearly.
***SIGN*** Eastern lady-in-waiting
Ukogi
**[09:52] Ukogi**
Everyone ascends to the palace
determined to be chosen.
**[09:55] Ukogi**
Every house leaps at the chance
to make one of its ladies a kin'u's bride.
**[10:01] Asebi**
I'm exhausted. I can't even tell what...

***SIGN*** The Singing Beak of Yamauchi
**[10:07] Ukogi**
*The Singing Beak of Yamauchi*.
We'll begin your studies here.
**[10:11] Ukogi**
Remember, my lady?
I read it to you when you were little.
**[10:15] Asebi**
Oh, the book that put me to sleep—
**[10:18] Ukogi**
My lady!
**[10:19] Ukogi**
We'll start with the absolute basics
and review Yamauchi's origins.
**[10:24] Ukogi**
Pay close attention.
**[10:27] Ukogi**
When the Mountain God visited this land,
water gushed from its peaks.
**[10:33] Ukogi**
Soon, trees, flowers,
and ears of rice hung heavy.
**[10:38] Ukogi**
The Mountain God named
the bounteous land Yamauchi,
**[10:42] Ukogi**
and appointed a golden raven
to rule it in his stead.
**[10:46] Ukogi**
The golden raven apportioned
lands to his four children.
**[10:50] Ukogi**
To the first, an eastern land
awash with flowers.
**[10:53] Ukogi**
To the second, a southern land
ripe with fruit.
**[10:57] Ukogi**
To the third, a western land
thick with rice.
**[11:00] Ukogi**
To the fourth, a northern land
gushing with springs.
**[11:04] Ukogi**
Thus began the domains of the Four Houses.

**[11:07] Ukogi**
Meanwhile, the golden raven
gained the name of "kin'u,"
**[11:10] Ukogi**
and his line would dwell on the
central peak, closest to the Mountain God.
**[11:16] Ukogi**
In contrast to the Four Houses,
this royal house...
**[11:19] Ukogi**
My lady! Are you awake?
**[11:22] Asebi**
O-Of course I am!
**[11:24] Asebi**
The kin'u serves the Mountain God,
maintaining peace in Yamauchi, right?
**[11:29] Ukogi**
Exactly.
**[11:31] Ukogi**
His Highness may be crown prince now,
**[11:34] Ukogi**
but he will accede as kin'u
before much longer.
**[11:37] Ukogi**
To become his consort is to
uphold the peace in Yamauchi.
**[11:42] Ukogi**
Every house that sends
a daughter takes pride in that.
**[11:47] Ukogi**
Or so they say in public.
**[11:49] Asebi**
Huh?
**[11:50] Ukogi**
This is war!
**[11:52] Asebi**
W-War?
**[11:54] Ukogi**
Royal authority touches all political
and economic life in Yamauchi.
**[11:58] Ukogi**
Naturally, the kin'u's consort
receives a share of that power.
**[12:02] Asebi**
You mean the Empress?
**[12:06] Ukogi**
Every consort brings vast wealth
and power to the house that sent her.
**[12:13] Ukogi**
Any children brings them even closer
to royalty as guardians and caretakers,
**[12:19] Ukogi**
and a male child will
become kin'u himself one day.
**[12:23] Asebi**
And that house's future will be secure.
**[12:25] Ukogi**
Precisely.

**[12:27] Ukogi**
So this rite is a proxy war by ladies
on behalf of the Four Houses!
**[12:35] Asebi**
That explains it. No wonder they don't take
a provincial know-nothing like me seriously.
**[12:39] Ukogi**
You mustn't lose heart!
**[12:41] Lady-in-waiting 1**
My lady.
**[12:43] Lady-in-waiting 1**
Lady Masuho-no-Susuki of the Autumn Hall
has sent you a gift by way of greeting.
**[12:51] Asebi**
A sappanwood red gown!
**[12:53] Asebi**
And look at this fine embroidery!
**[12:56] Ukogi**
Wh-Wh-Why, it's magnificent!
**[12:58] Ukogi**
Oh, whatever shall we send in return?
**[13:00] Masuho**
*I am hosting a tea party tomorrow.*
**[13:03] Masuho**
*Please feel free to attend.*
**[13:07] Asebi**
I've never been to
a friend's tea party before!
**[13:10] Asebi**
What a wonderful person
Lady Masuho-no-Susuki turned out to be!
**[13:30] Empress**
I see a "Lady Raven" has slipped
into the palace this time.
**[13:36] Empress**
We hardly need panic to remove her.
**[13:40] Empress**
Her presence may nudge things
in the right direction.
***SIGN*** His Reigning Majesty
**[13:54] Empress**
Let us enjoy her antics to the fullest,
**[13:58] Empress**
along with His Highness's own performance.
**[14:20] Kikuno**
Lady Shiratama presents this incense.
***SIGN*** Autumn Hall, Cherry Blossom Palace
**[14:25] Cha-no-Hana**
The Northern House has
treasured it for generations.
***SIGN*** Northern lady-in-waiting
Cha-no-Hana
**[14:28] Cha-no-Hana**
Its production and composition remain
the most closely guarded of secrets.
**[14:32] Cha-no-hana**
We bring it today especially for your—
**[14:35] Masuho**
It certainly is an uncommon fragrance.
**[14:38] Masuho**
Perhaps a bit heavy on cloves.
**[14:40] Masuho**
Well, it reminds me of *kurobo*,
so I can guess at its composition.
***SIGN*** Western lady-in-waiting
Kikuno
**[14:48] Masuho**
Shiratama, what do you think of my incense?
**[14:51] Shiratama**
A bit heavy on musk, perhaps.
**[14:54] Shiratama**
And it rather reminds me of jasmine.
**[14:57] Masuho**
I'm impressed you can tell.
**[14:59] Kikuno**
Lady Masuho-no-Susuki
compounded it herself.
**[15:03] Asebi**
What are they doing, Ukogi?
**[15:05] Ukogi**
Identifying the elements
of incense as a game.
**[15:07] Ukogi**
Oh, I was right to have
a bad feeling about this.
**[15:10] Masuho**
Lady Asebi, would you tell us
about your fragrance?
**[15:14] Asebi**
Yes!
**[15:16] Asebi**
Oh, I'm sorry. I don't really know.
**[15:22] Asebi**
I do use incense, but...
**[15:24] Asebi**
What could it be?
**[15:25] Asebi**
Not musk or anything so costly,
I shouldn't think.
**[15:29] Masuho**
Surely you jest.
What noble doesn't know their incense?
**[15:33] Lady-in-waiting**
I can't believe it. Has the Eastern House
fallen on such hard times?
**[15:37] Ukogi**
Begging your pardon...
**[15:38] Ukogi**
The Eastern House has ancient
and noble incense traditions of its own,
**[15:43] Ukogi**
but my lady was a somewhat delicate child
and has little experience with them.
**[15:50] Masuho**
My, what a pity.
**[15:53] Masuho**
The doll festival is almost upon us,
so use that to ward off evil influences.
**[15:58] Asebi**
I actually have them with me.
**[16:01] Asebi**
My dolls for the festival.
**[16:09] Lady-in-waiting**
How shabby. Practically peasant dolls.
**[16:13] Lady-in-waiting**
Leave her be. The provincial set
can't produce anything better.
**[16:20] Masuho**
Lady Asebi, are you certain...
**[16:23] Masuho**
you really belong here?
**[16:28] Shiratama**
Oh dear. I do beg your pardon.
**[16:31] Kikuno**
My lady's favorite Grey Heron teacup!
**[16:34] Masuho**
Enough, Kikuno. You're making a scene.
**[16:38] Ukogi**
My lady!
**[16:39] Ukogi**
Ow.
**[16:39] Ukogi**
My lady!
**[16:53] Hamayu**
Let me guess. Someone's been bullying you?
**[16:58] Hamayu**
Was it Masuho-no-Susuki or Shiratama?
**[17:07] Asebi**
I have no right to be here.
**[17:12] Asebi**
My older sister was supposed to come.
**[17:14] Asebi**
But she fell ill.
**[17:16] Asebi**
I took her place at the last minute.
**[17:19] Asebi**
I felt so happy.
**[17:21] Asebi**
I've lived in a country villa
for as long as I can remember.
**[17:26] Asebi**
I had nothing but worrywart
ladies-in-waiting for company.
**[17:29] Asebi**
I barely ever got to go outside
and play with other children my age.
**[17:35] Asebi**
But it's no use.
**[17:37] Asebi**
I stand out like a sore thumb.
**[17:39] Hamayu**
Will you take your leave, then?
**[17:45] Hamayu**
Come to think of it, we have one other
out-of-place person this time.
**[17:51] Hamayu**
Someone they say turned witless
on a long trip abroad.
**[17:56] Hamayu**
Someone who everyone calls
an unbelievable fool.
**[18:02] Hamayu**
The Prince.
**[18:04] Asebi**
His Highness?
**[18:05] Hamayu**
It's not exactly a secret.
**[18:08] Hamayu**
You really don't know anything, do you?
**[18:12] Hamayu**
Then, I guess this will be news to you.
**[18:15] Hamayu**
The Prince wasn't anyone's first choice
to succeed the current kin'u.
**[18:21] Hamayu**
He's a second son.
**[18:24] Hamayu**
His brother who's five years older
should be the heir.
**[18:29] Hamayu**
The brother was a razor-sharp kid.
They said he'd make a great ruler one day.
**[18:36] Hamayu**
But for whatever reason,
the royal priests declared the infant prince
**[18:42] Hamayu**
more worthy to inherit than his brother.
**[18:46] Hamayu**
Even though the older prince's mother
is the kin'u's wife, the Empress,
**[18:50] Hamayu**
while his younger brother
was born to a concubine.
**[18:55] Hamayu**
I hear it caused a panic in the Center.
**[18:57] Hamayu**
Factions formed and split the court in two.
**[19:03] Hamayu**
In the end, the older brother lost the
power struggle and had to become a priest.
**[19:11] Asebi**
So that's why Her Majesty used
my name as a slight to His Highness.
**[19:16] Asebi**
I feel terrible for the elder prince.
**[19:18] Hamayu**
Well, officially, they settled everything,
**[19:22] Hamayu**
but who knows how he really feels?
**[19:26] Hamayu**
You never know what might
happen during this rite.
**[19:31] Asebi**
And you, Lady Hamayu?
**[19:32] Hamayu**
Consider me a spectator.
**[19:40] Hamayu**
Oh, and there was one other rumor.
**[19:43] Hamayu**
I hear the foolish prince is a *real* kin'u.
**[19:51] Asebi**
"Real"?

**[20:51] Genya**
Yukiya moaned about stomach trouble
and excused himself last year.
**[20:56] Genya**
He must have done a lot of growing.

We told you, you've got it all wrong.
**[21:13] Lackey 2**
As if we'd ever dine-and-dash
at this peasant kid's place.
**[21:17] Child**
Liar! I know you took our mochi!
**[21:20] Kazumaro**
Enough!
**[21:21] Kazumaro**
You hill ravens owe us court ravens
every hospitality, anyway.
**[21:27] Kazumaro**
Even if I *did* eat your mochi,
what's so wrong with that?
**[21:30] Yukiya**
Excuse me.
**[21:33] Yukiya**
A lot of people saw you,
so it's an open-and-shut case.
**[21:38] Yukiya**
Won't you please pay for the mochi?
**[21:43] Kazumaro**
You hill ravens don't know your place.
**[21:46] Lackey 2**
Come on.
**[21:47] Child**
Y-Yukiya!
**[21:48] Yukiya**
Don't worry. We can talk this out.
**[22:01] Yukima**
Yukiya, are you okay?
**[22:03] Yukichi**
Yukiya!
**[22:05] Yukiya**
Huh?
**[22:06] Yukiya**
Big brother? Yukichi? What's the matter?

Just 'cause they're court ravens
from the Center,
**[22:18] Yukichi**
they made fun of us and
threw their weight around.
**[22:20] Yukiya**
Hey, isn't today...
**[22:23] Yukiya**
the Northern House's banquet?
**[22:25] Yukima**
Yeah. But with a face like that...
**[22:30] Yukiya**
And those court ravens
will be there, too, right?
**[22:35] Yukima**
Hey, this better not be another of your...
**[22:38] Yukiya**
Don't be silly, Big Brother.
I'm not planning anything.
**[22:42] Yukiya**
Well, I'll see you there.
**[22:49] Yukima**
Yukiya!
**[22:54] Yukiya**
Ugh. I knew this would hurt.
