Say it. 03:46.910 --> 03:48.490 Say, "You win." 03:48.910 --> 03:51.030 Say, "This time, you've beaten me." 03:52.340 --> 03:54.500 If you'd just do that... 03:55.670 --> 03:56.910 my life would be complete. 04:00.310 --> 04:01.380 Theodore. 04:02.330 --> 04:04.680 You said that you'd imprisoned her, 04:04.680 --> 04:06.690 but did you put her in a prison? 04:08.230 --> 04:10.610 I put her in a room that's as good as a prison. 04:10.610 --> 04:12.330 And the door is locked, of course. 04:12.830 --> 04:15.310 Locked, is it? What else? 04:15.310 --> 04:18.340 There are some rough types keeping watch. 04:18.340 --> 04:20.060 The room is on an upper floor, 04:20.060 --> 04:22.120 so she won't be able to escape out the window. 04:22.120 --> 04:24.720 I see. So, there's a window, too. 04:25.440 --> 04:27.360 What are you trying to say? 04:27.360 --> 04:29.410 No one could possibly escape! 04:29.720 --> 04:31.410 Not normally, no. 04:31.910 --> 04:35.210 Let me warn you, if I give just one indication, 04:35.210 --> 04:37.790 it will be all too easy to hurt my dear sister. 04:38.190 --> 04:39.540 My foolish little brother. 04:41.050 --> 04:43.530 There isn't a single path for you to win here. 04:44.090 --> 04:47.630 Not from the moment you thought you had captured that girl. 04:47.630 --> 04:51.560 What? Brother, you aren't acting like yourself. 04:51.560 --> 04:53.680 If you have something to say, then just— 04:53.210 --> 04:53.680 Listen. 04:54.120 --> 04:54.930 Here it comes. 04:55.600 --> 04:57.140 What are you talking— 05:05.430 --> 05:06.370 This can't be real. 05:08.960 --> 05:12.830 I've come to settle things between us, Prince Theodore. 05:15.080 --> 05:16.760 This isn't possible. 05:17.560 --> 05:20.830 I heard you were being held in a room "as good as a prison." 05:21.190 --> 05:22.940 Did you leave through the window? 05:22.940 --> 05:25.460 Or, did you do something like punch a hole through a wall? 05:26.650 --> 05:28.840 I left through the door like a normal person! 05:29.800 --> 05:33.410 Through a locked door being watched by guards. That's normal? 05:33.410 --> 05:36.620 How did you do it? Has someone betrayed me? 05:36.620 --> 05:38.010 Prince Theodore. 05:39.130 --> 05:41.310 I respectfully offer you the following advice. 05:41.510 --> 05:42.820 Advice? 05:44.540 --> 05:46.190 First of all... 05:47.440 --> 05:48.950 when you have captured a prisoner... 05:48.950 --> 05:51.460 you must be careful never to take your eyes off them. 05:52.680 --> 05:55.700 Even if you lock them into a room by themselves, 05:55.700 --> 05:58.290 leaving them alone is completely out of the question. 05:58.290 --> 06:02.750 You should always leave at least two guards in the room with them. 06:06.400 --> 06:08.260 And second... 06:08.850 --> 06:12.640 the search of the prisoner's body should always be conducted by multiple people. 06:12.970 --> 06:15.020 Don't allow them to keep their clothes on. 06:15.020 --> 06:17.770 Searching them while they are completely nude is most effective. 06:17.770 --> 06:21.360 That way, they won't be able to hide weapons or tools for escape. 06:23.710 --> 06:25.370 And third... 06:25.900 --> 06:28.840 after you have shackled their hands behind their back, 06:28.840 --> 06:32.150 the best thing to do is to tie them to a pillar or a bed, 06:32.150 --> 06:34.090 but that's still too lenient. 06:34.680 --> 06:38.580 Do you know what the one thing you absolutely must do is? 06:40.930 --> 06:43.920 Break both their arms and both their legs. 06:45.300 --> 06:47.540 Restrain their broken limbs, 06:47.540 --> 06:50.340 take everything they have, and have a group guard them. 06:51.050 --> 06:55.470 That's what it means to take someone prisoner. 07:00.060 --> 07:03.650 Why are you instructing the person who took you captive? 07:03.650 --> 07:06.380 Your Highness! I'm perfectly all right! 07:06.380 --> 07:08.510 It's fine. You wear it. 07:08.510 --> 07:10.070 But, your neck will be... 07:11.150 --> 07:13.480 What is that scar? 07:14.170 --> 07:15.660 I don't know anything about it. 07:19.260 --> 07:21.800 I knew it. I'm not good enough after all. 07:23.790 --> 07:25.330 Prince Theodore. 07:25.970 --> 07:29.530 Please answer me. What is your aim in this? 07:31.030 --> 07:33.450 To be next in line to the throne. 07:33.450 --> 07:37.680 There's no other reason for two people in the line of succession to fight, is there? 07:37.680 --> 07:40.100 I don't believe that to be true. 07:40.670 --> 07:42.180 I think it's actually the opposite. 07:44.170 --> 07:50.320 Your objective is to abdicate your place in the line of succession, isn't it? 07:51.290 --> 07:52.530 What are you talking about? 07:52.530 --> 07:56.520 I couldn't understand why you would target me. 07:56.520 --> 07:59.970 I told you! It's to make my brother suffer! 07:59.970 --> 08:04.170 If he couldn't protect his fiancée, then his reputation would be completely destroyed! 08:04.170 --> 08:07.290 Using someone as trivial as me to steal the throne... 08:07.290 --> 08:09.890 You don't seriously believe that would work, do you? 08:11.040 --> 08:13.400 By playing out this farce of a kidnapping, 08:13.400 --> 08:17.590 you intended to create a commotion and disgrace yourself as a criminal, didn't you? 08:18.520 --> 08:19.500 You're wrong. 08:20.340 --> 08:22.570 There was a certain moment at which 08:22.570 --> 08:26.140 you ceased your public works in the slums, didn't you? 08:26.950 --> 08:29.400 I grew weary of that ludicrous charity work. 08:29.400 --> 08:30.900 That's a lie. 08:31.380 --> 08:35.700 Even very recently, you've been sending support to the slums, haven't you? 08:36.310 --> 08:38.700 There isn't any evidence of public funds being used, 08:38.700 --> 08:41.060 so you must be investing your own money. 08:42.940 --> 08:47.530 You worry more for the people of the slums than anyone else, 08:47.530 --> 08:49.850 and you've approached them with kindness. 08:51.050 --> 08:54.130 But you have deliberately neglected your public duties. 08:54.870 --> 08:58.120 I just want to beat my brother, that's all. 08:58.120 --> 09:02.200 If that were the case, then you'd have attacked Prince Arnold directly. 09:02.200 --> 09:03.250 You're wrong. 09:03.250 --> 09:05.430 But you couldn't do that. 09:05.430 --> 09:08.270 That's because everything you do is for your older brother's sake— 09:08.270 --> 09:09.270 You're wrong! 09:09.270 --> 09:11.760 You're wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong! 09:11.760 --> 09:15.040 Honestly, what is all this nonsense you're spouting? 09:15.040 --> 09:20.010 I want my brother to hate me! To despise me! To cast me out! 09:20.010 --> 09:24.410 If he'll never accept me, then being killed by him would be so much better! 09:24.410 --> 09:26.410 That's enough. This stops here. 09:26.670 --> 09:28.340 Prince Arnold. 09:28.340 --> 09:30.030 I've told you, Rishe. 09:30.030 --> 09:31.980 Don't interact with him. 09:31.980 --> 09:35.010 Please, wait. Your younger brother's true feelings are— 09:35.010 --> 09:37.090 I don't care. 09:38.210 --> 09:40.830 Regardless of what his desires may be, 09:40.830 --> 09:43.010 they have nothing to do with me. 09:44.760 --> 09:48.100 I already knew that all too well. 09:51.170 --> 09:52.770 Prince Theodore! 09:52.770 --> 09:53.930 Leave him be. 09:55.870 --> 10:00.280 Why do you intentionally try to distance yourself from your brother? 10:00.500 --> 10:03.280 I told you.
