WEBVTT
01:36.710 --> 01:38.530
You're falling behind, Lucius!
01:38.530 --> 01:39.420
Sir!
01:41.960 --> 01:44.290
Please, Prince Theodore.
01:44.590 --> 01:48.290
Don't you think you're
making use of me in the wrong way?
01:48.640 --> 01:52.920
You said you want to join the knight
candidates' training as a man, right?
01:52.920 --> 01:55.190
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
01:55.190 --> 01:57.840
Why should I help you?
01:57.840 --> 02:01.000
You sent me a letter the
other day, didn't you?
02:01.000 --> 02:02.800
It said I could rely on your help.
02:02.800 --> 02:05.810
Yes, I wrote that! I wrote that, but...
02:06.640 --> 02:09.240
But why do you need to
sneak in to begin with?
02:09.240 --> 02:11.870
You could just have a knight
assigned to instruct you.
02:11.870 --> 02:14.350
If I did that, they'd surely
try to be considerate of me,
02:14.350 --> 02:16.820
and I want to be trained without any mercy.
02:16.820 --> 02:20.900
Unbelievable. To think you'd willingly
choose to go and be treated harshly.
02:20.900 --> 02:22.240
I could never do it.
02:23.680 --> 02:24.670
Hold on.
02:28.520 --> 02:29.640
Your Highness?
02:29.640 --> 02:33.340
Very well! I shall assist
my lovely older sister.
02:33.340 --> 02:37.110
I will exert every effort
to make your wish come true.
02:37.110 --> 02:39.970
Um, why the sudden change?
02:39.970 --> 02:42.840
Well, it seems entertaining, doesn't it?
02:43.310 --> 02:46.440
I think that even my older brother
would never be able to anticipate it.
02:46.440 --> 02:49.960
Who'd ever think, "My wife is going to
dress as a man to infiltrate the knights"?
02:49.960 --> 02:53.920
How could I not take the opportunity
to surprise my brother like this?
02:53.920 --> 02:58.400
It isn't as though I'm doing this
to shock Prince Arnold, you know.
03:00.770 --> 03:06.980
I would love to see the look
on my brother's face, whatever it is.
03:11.180 --> 03:13.110
That's enough for today! Dismissed!
03:13.110 --> 03:14.770
Thank you, sir!
03:18.000 --> 03:21.110
This is Galkhein's basic training?
03:21.110 --> 03:23.250
Are you all right, Lucius?
03:24.530 --> 03:28.790
Fritz. Thanks, but I'll be all
right after I rest a little.
03:28.790 --> 03:30.490
I'll join you.
03:30.490 --> 03:33.130
Even if I head back to the
inn, I'll just be alone.
03:33.130 --> 03:33.940
Inn?
03:34.280 --> 03:36.680
I came here from Ceutena.
03:36.680 --> 03:40.020
Have you heard of it? It's
a port town in the north.
03:40.020 --> 03:43.050
That's where ships from
Coyolles dock, isn't it?
03:43.050 --> 03:45.420
Yes, it's a great town.
03:45.420 --> 03:47.320
If I didn't look up to that person so much,
03:47.320 --> 03:51.380
I'd never have aimed to be a knight, and I'd
probably have lived my whole life in that town.
03:51.380 --> 03:52.630
That person?
03:52.630 --> 03:54.080
Prince Arnold!
03:54.960 --> 03:56.460
The war hero!
03:56.460 --> 03:57.940
Master of the sword!
03:57.940 --> 03:59.550
He's just so amazing, don't you think?
03:59.550 --> 04:00.590
Yes...
04:00.590 --> 04:04.680
I want to become a great knight,
just like Prince Arnold.
04:04.680 --> 04:05.720
You there.
04:06.200 --> 04:09.240
You mustn't refer to members of the
imperial family in that manner.
04:09.240 --> 04:12.430
You must be careful to call him
His Highness, the crown prince.
04:12.430 --> 04:13.860
Y-Yes, sir!
04:14.250 --> 04:15.460
As long as you understand.
04:15.460 --> 04:16.660
Raise your heads.
04:18.150 --> 04:20.700
You're... Count Lawvine!
04:21.480 --> 04:23.390
His Lordship, Count Lawvine?
04:23.390 --> 04:27.280
He's the guardian of the north and a loyal
retainer to the Galkhein imperial family.
04:27.280 --> 04:28.370
But three years from now,
04:28.720 --> 04:30.940
Prince Arnold, who will have become emperor,
04:30.940 --> 04:33.380
will declare him a monstrous
criminal, and he'll be slaughtered.
04:35.150 --> 04:37.620
H-Has he noticed
I'm only dressed as a ma—
04:37.620 --> 04:39.960
Do you like to eat chicken?
04:39.960 --> 04:40.630
Huh?
04:40.920 --> 04:42.940
Y-Yes, I do!
04:42.940 --> 04:45.800
I see. In that case, you
should eat more of it.
04:46.240 --> 04:50.830
From what I can see, you have less
muscle mass than the average man.
04:50.830 --> 04:52.140
Y-Yes, sir!
04:52.770 --> 04:55.820
Starting tomorrow, I will
be joining your instructors.
04:55.820 --> 04:56.960
I look forward to working with you.
04:56.960 --> 04:57.770
What?
04:58.620 --> 05:02.240
Your Lordship, it's nearly time for your
audience with His Majesty, the emperor.
05:02.240 --> 05:03.780
Yes, I'll go immediately.
05:04.130 --> 05:05.510
If you'll excuse me.
05:05.510 --> 05:06.800
Thank you, sir!
05:06.890 --> 05:08.400
Thank you, sir!
05:36.200 --> 05:37.790
Elsie, I'm back.
05:37.790 --> 05:38.940
Welcome home.
05:48.110 --> 05:49.500
Prince Arnold.
05:49.500 --> 05:50.700
Good morning.
05:51.080 --> 05:53.400
Were you able to sleep last night?
05:53.400 --> 05:54.200
Yes.
05:57.060 --> 05:58.070
Your Highness?
06:00.710 --> 06:03.590
Tomorrow afternoon at two,
come to the western back gate.
06:04.320 --> 06:06.090
Don't let anyone see you.
06:09.090 --> 06:10.840
Should I dye my hair?
06:10.840 --> 06:12.590
No, that isn't necessary.
06:12.590 --> 06:16.560
I see. Then, I will arrive in clothes
that will look natural in town.
06:22.020 --> 06:24.110
Um, Lady Rishe?
06:24.110 --> 06:25.110
Yes?
06:25.110 --> 06:28.110
Why were you speaking
secretly with Prince Arnold?
06:28.570 --> 06:31.360
The truth is that the prince and
I are going into town tomorrow.
06:31.670 --> 06:34.870
What sort of business is taking you there?
06:35.880 --> 06:39.000
I'm certain it must be some
sort of official business.
06:39.850 --> 06:42.430
It would be best to wear
something that won't stand out.
06:42.430 --> 06:45.380
A brown linen dress and a
simple gray robe would—
06:45.380 --> 06:46.880
Lady Rishe!
06:46.880 --> 06:48.210
Please leave it to me.
06:48.210 --> 06:48.920
What?
06:48.920 --> 06:50.380
L-Leave what to you?
06:50.380 --> 06:54.020
I promise I will make you lovelier
than anyone else ever could.
06:54.020 --> 06:55.020
What?
07:03.230 --> 07:05.400
Now that we've made it this
far, we should be all right.
07:05.820 --> 07:07.560
You can lower your hood.
07:09.550 --> 07:13.460
Don't worry. None of the
citizens here know your face.
07:13.460 --> 07:15.780
Th-That's true.
07:29.750 --> 07:31.800
I know exactly what you want to say!
07:31.800 --> 07:35.330
I had guessed that this must
be official business...
07:35.330 --> 07:37.620
but being dressed too plainly
would stand out, too!
07:37.620 --> 07:41.930
Since it's you, I thought you'd come
in a linen dress and plain robe.
07:41.930 --> 07:44.250
Am I really that predictable?
07:44.250 --> 07:45.780
Is this your maid's doing?
07:47.150 --> 07:49.380
Those clothes pose no problems.
07:49.380 --> 07:50.550
Truly?
07:50.550 --> 07:53.470
I must give your maid my highest praise.
07:53.470 --> 07:54.530
Let's go.
07:54.530 --> 07:54.950
What?
07:55.280 --> 07:57.000
Please wait for me!
08:07.210 --> 08:08.630
The marketplace!
08:10.440 --> 08:12.640
It's just a marketplace,
the kind you'd find anywhere.
08:12.640 --> 08:14.720
That's not true!
08:15.240 --> 08:17.740
Those are Coquito's famous grapes!
08:17.740 --> 08:19.470
Those are rare saloof bird eggs!
08:19.470 --> 08:21.000
And could those be—
08:27.100 --> 08:30.300
A-A marketplace does, of course, show
the current economic conditions,
08:30.300 --> 08:33.460
but it also reflects the public
peace of the surrounding areas.
08:38.490 --> 08:40.160
A pocket watch?
08:41.630 --> 08:43.780
Your Highness? Is there something over there?
08:43.780 --> 08:45.370
You want to see the marketplace, don't you?
08:48.040 --> 08:49.610
Thank you!
08:54.760 --> 08:57.260
What do you think? These are fresh berries!
08:57.260 --> 08:58.980
These are a specialty from Coyolles!
08:58.980 --> 09:01.260
They've just come in from Ceutena!
09:01.260 --> 09:03.420
Young lady, I'll give you a discount!
09:05.400 --> 09:06.770
Sorry to keep you waiting!
09:07.750 --> 09:08.650
Wait.
09:09.040 --> 09:10.940
What is that disquieting object?
09:10.940 --> 09:12.750
A fruit from Coyolles.
09:12.750 --> 09:16.280
It looks a little unusual, but it's very
nutritious, so it's good for the body.
09:16.280 --> 09:19.810
I said, wait. No matter how I think
about it, that appearance is—
09:19.050 --> 09:20.660
It's good for the body.
09:28.580 --> 09:32.340
How do you like it? It's sweeter
than it looks, I think.
09:34.550 --> 09:36.880
It tastes like it's nutritious.
09:36.880 --> 09:39.280
My, what a bitter expression!
09:44.070 --> 09:45.670
We should get moving.
09:45.670 --> 09:49.520
If we stay in one place for too long,
Oliver's deputies will find us.
09:55.560 --> 09:57.770
He isn't executing official duties today?
10:02.660 --> 10:04.920
The proprietor here doesn't
come to the palace.
10:05.450 --> 10:08.170
Thanks to that, it becomes
necessary for me to come here.
10:15.400 --> 10:17.210
We've been awaiting your arrival.
10:19.090 --> 10:22.600
To be employed by Your Highness, the
crown prince, brings us great joy and—
10:22.600 --> 10:24.950
No need for speeches. Raise your heads.
10:26.360 --> 10:28.440
It's an honor to meet you.
10:28.440 --> 10:33.440
I'm the proprietor of this
store, Mihaela Laure Wehrmann.
10:33.440 --> 10:37.590
Pleased to meet you. My name
is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
10:42.320 --> 10:43.570
How beautiful!
10:43.570 --> 10:46.760
We are humble jewelers.
10:46.760 --> 10:49.510
Lady Rishe, among these stones,
10:49.510 --> 10:52.470
which do you think is a fake?
10:52.470 --> 10:53.460
What?
10:54.020 --> 10:55.150
Rishe.
10:55.150 --> 10:56.190
Try answering her.
11:12.650 --> 11:13.980
I don't know.
11:14.270 --> 11:16.920
What a clear answer.
11:16.920 --> 11:19.990
Being able to answer so
honestly is a wonderful—
11:19.990 --> 11:21.610
So, Madam Proprietor,
11:21.610 --> 11:24.240
may I borrow some appraisal tools?
11:24.240 --> 11:25.060
Pardon me?
11:34.930 --> 11:38.630
Each one has a high degree of transparency,
and the cuts are very fine.
11:39.760 --> 11:40.780
However...
11:43.410 --> 11:44.260
These stones...
11:44.530 --> 11:46.510
all three of them are
imitations, aren't they?
11:47.930 --> 11:49.560
I failed to recognize your skills.
11:49.560 --> 11:54.140
You are the first to request appraisal tools.
11:54.440 --> 11:57.860
That said, they truly are beautiful.
11:57.860 --> 12:00.030
Even knowing that they are imitations,
12:00.470 --> 12:06.170
I'm sure there must be many people
who love and care for these stones.
12:08.520 --> 12:09.840
You are...
12:11.770 --> 12:14.260
I find myself admiring you more and more.
12:14.260 --> 12:16.840
What? Oh, but I haven't done
anything to warrant it!
12:16.840 --> 12:21.170
Our merchandise in this store
is only sold to a select few.
12:21.170 --> 12:25.050
I would very much like to show you our wares.
12:26.760 --> 12:30.890
If you've approved of her, then
give her exactly what she wishes.
12:30.890 --> 12:33.560
Yes, we will ready our wares with pleasure.
12:33.560 --> 12:36.720
What? What is going on here?
12:36.720 --> 12:41.150
I thought I was accompanying Your Highness
to fulfill your wishes, wasn't I?
12:42.030 --> 12:44.030
The one thing I wish from you...
12:44.750 --> 12:47.160
is for you to allow me to
gift you a ring. That's all.
12:47.160 --> 12:49.160
What? A ring?
12:49.160 --> 12:50.590
His Highness, the crown prince,
12:50.590 --> 12:54.470
seeks a ring to give to his bride
during the wedding ceremony.
12:54.470 --> 12:56.920
Now, I will prepare a few things and return.
12:58.170 --> 13:00.920
Ring? Bride?
13:00.920 --> 13:02.850
Why? For what purpose?
13:02.850 --> 13:06.530
In Galkhein, a ring shouldn't be necessary.
13:06.530 --> 13:07.930
But more importantly...
13:08.230 --> 13:10.990
How did our sparring
match lead you to this conclusion?
13:10.990 --> 13:13.820
If I said, "I'll buy you a
ring, so pick what you'd like,"
13:13.820 --> 13:17.060
I can't imagine that you'd
quietly make your choice.
13:17.550 --> 13:20.920
You wouldn't accept others buying
things to give to you, would you?
13:21.690 --> 13:24.450
The stones they have here are first-class.
13:24.450 --> 13:26.860
I have no intention of letting
money be an obstacle.
13:26.860 --> 13:30.200
But, Your Highness, I don't think that
I can readily accept such a valuable—
13:30.200 --> 13:32.520
If you have a ring made here,
13:32.520 --> 13:35.940
then my idle wealth, which I have no
means of using, will fall to the town.
13:35.940 --> 13:37.330
It will help the economy.
13:39.840 --> 13:42.840
I see. In that case...
13:42.840 --> 13:44.640
I shall make my choice!
13:44.640 --> 13:47.090
With utmost sincerity and
with everything I have in me!
13:52.610 --> 13:54.600
The ring will be put on me
during the wedding,
13:54.930 --> 13:57.100
so maybe a diamond would be best?
13:57.400 --> 14:01.170
Or, perhaps, to match my eyes... an emerald?
14:11.180 --> 14:15.180
I ask out of solicitude, but
may I offer a suggestion?
14:15.180 --> 14:16.750
Yes, please do.
14:17.310 --> 14:21.000
Putting on a favorite piece of
jewelry and wearing it proudly...
14:21.000 --> 14:24.750
Just that simple action can
fill a girl with courage.
14:26.060 --> 14:28.370
This will become your very
own protective amulet.
14:28.370 --> 14:31.340
Pick something you genuinely like.
14:32.010 --> 14:35.810
For example, Lady Rishe,
what color do you like?
14:35.810 --> 14:37.430
What color do I like?
14:47.960 --> 14:52.450
Like crystal clear ice from a
frozen sea in a cold country...
14:52.450 --> 14:53.840
That sort of color...
14:56.740 --> 15:01.040
Do you have a stone here that
is the same color as his eyes?
15:08.950 --> 15:09.740
Wait...
15:11.970 --> 15:13.800
Oh, my! My, my!
15:13.800 --> 15:15.320
No, it isn't like that!
15:15.320 --> 15:17.520
What I just said didn't
carry any unusual meaning!
15:17.520 --> 15:18.970
I really have no hidden purpose,
15:18.970 --> 15:22.000
it's only that I've always liked
the color of Prince Arnold's eyes,
15:22.000 --> 15:23.480
and thought that it's pretty, that's all!
15:24.530 --> 15:27.110
You've always thought that, have you?
15:27.110 --> 15:29.080
If you'll wait just a moment please.
15:29.080 --> 15:31.550
I have something I'd like
to recommend to you.
15:31.550 --> 15:33.520
Madam Proprietor!
15:38.170 --> 15:41.620
Please, forget what just happened here.
15:46.780 --> 15:51.000
Oh, this beautiful sunset
is illuminating the palace!
15:55.800 --> 15:58.450
Why the third finger of your left hand?
15:58.450 --> 15:59.240
What?
15:59.240 --> 16:02.600
When they measured your ring size, you
indicated that finger, didn't you?
16:06.050 --> 16:08.980
I suppose you say it's a
notion I've always had.
16:09.640 --> 16:13.800
Putting a ring on the third finger
of the left hand during the wedding
16:13.800 --> 16:16.490
is the custom in the country I was born in.
16:16.920 --> 16:19.820
But, Your Highness, why did you
decide to give me a ring at all?
16:19.820 --> 16:23.140
No particular reason. And the fact that
it's a ring holds no specific meaning.
16:24.200 --> 16:28.120
But you often work with
your hands, don't you?
16:29.940 --> 16:34.080
To have an ornament I gave
you on those fingers...
16:34.080 --> 16:37.010
I was certain that it
would make me feel good.
16:37.800 --> 16:39.080
That's...
16:49.080 --> 16:51.940
Then, the morning that it's finished...
16:51.940 --> 16:54.030
I'll show you before anyone else.
16:54.300 --> 16:55.010
Good.
17:10.080 --> 17:11.620
Could it be?
17:13.000 --> 17:17.240
Come to think of it, I heard
that Count Lawvine had arrived.
17:17.240 --> 17:19.480
Whose guest is he?
17:19.480 --> 17:20.950
I called him here.
17:20.950 --> 17:24.090
He's the best qualified person to
instruct the knight candidates.
17:27.110 --> 17:28.060
Your Highness...
17:28.060 --> 17:31.310
who are you waiting for in this place?
17:31.310 --> 17:33.860
That's quite an abrupt question.
17:34.320 --> 17:39.300
Count Lawvine protects a
very important location.
17:39.300 --> 17:43.860
I can't imagine that you'd call him
here simply to train the recruits.
17:45.150 --> 17:48.380
And what made you think that
I'm waiting for someone?
17:48.380 --> 17:52.350
Your Highness frequently
checked your pocket watch.
17:52.840 --> 17:56.340
I thought that you were concerned about
what time to return to the palace,
17:56.340 --> 18:00.220
but since we arrived here, you
haven't once taken out your watch.
18:00.630 --> 18:05.770
Additionally, this is a spot where one
can observe people entering the capital.
18:08.660 --> 18:12.530
The other day, a letter
arrived from another country.
18:13.480 --> 18:15.790
It said that the sender wouldn't
be able to attend the wedding,
18:15.790 --> 18:17.860
so they would come to celebrate in advance.
18:18.950 --> 18:23.370
Before I could send a reply to say that
wouldn't be necessary, another letter arrived.
18:23.370 --> 18:25.870
It said that they wanted to
celebrate as soon as possible,
18:25.870 --> 18:28.330
so they'd leave without awaiting a reply.
18:29.280 --> 18:33.950
At the marketplace, someone was selling
fruit that had just arrived from Coyolles.
18:33.950 --> 18:36.530
The sender of the letter
was on that same ship?
18:37.010 --> 18:40.880
Given the information from my scouts and
the time it takes a carriage to travel...
19:00.720 --> 19:01.950
Weitzner,
19:02.480 --> 19:04.450
I want to protect this kingdom.
19:09.930 --> 19:11.380
Prince Kyle...
19:15.110 --> 19:18.430
Earlier, Kyle had an audience
with His Majesty, my father,
19:18.430 --> 19:20.050
and he was given permission to stay.
19:20.680 --> 19:24.320
As I thought, he must have a
particular aim in coming here.
19:27.480 --> 19:31.850
The Prince of Coyolles, His Highness Kyle
Morgan Cleverly, is here to see you.
19:33.600 --> 19:38.370
I congratulate you on the occasion
of your marriage, Prince Arnold.
19:38.370 --> 19:43.500
I, Kyle Morgan Cleverly, representing
my father, King of Coyolles,
19:43.500 --> 19:45.880
hastened here to in hopes
of celebrating the event.
19:45.880 --> 19:48.530
You have taken many pains
to travel all this way.
19:48.530 --> 19:50.700
For that I offer my heartfelt gratitude.
19:51.600 --> 19:55.680
There is a great difference in strength
between this empire and Coyolles.
19:56.540 --> 19:59.720
Coyolles is a country which
produces gems, gold, and silver.
19:59.720 --> 20:01.590
They're wealthy, but...
20:02.210 --> 20:05.020
for most of the year, they're
virtually cut off by snow.
20:05.020 --> 20:07.190
For food and other necessities of daily life
20:07.190 --> 20:10.400
they must depend upon trade with
their neighboring countries.
20:10.400 --> 20:11.820
And five years from now,
20:11.820 --> 20:15.180
they are destroyed in the war
that Prince Arnold instigates.
20:16.940 --> 20:17.850
Rishe.
20:17.850 --> 20:19.940
Yes, Prince Arnold?
20:22.550 --> 20:24.470
This is Rishe, who will be my wife.
20:24.470 --> 20:26.390
I'm honored to meet you.
20:26.390 --> 20:29.200
My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
20:29.200 --> 20:31.800
I am extraordinarily delighted to meet you.
20:32.330 --> 20:38.900
I knew that anyone who would become Prince
Arnold's wife must surely be a magnificent lady...
20:43.240 --> 20:47.100
but I never imagined anyone
of such a caliber as yourself.
20:47.700 --> 20:50.220
You are a warm, beautiful goddess.
20:51.220 --> 20:54.430
I am undeserving of such words, Prince Kyle.
20:54.430 --> 20:56.690
More important than these
empty social pleasantries...
20:54.430 --> 20:56.690
Even the gold which my
kingdom is so proud of,
20:56.970 --> 20:59.640
Prince Kyle has far too
little color in his face!
20:56.970 --> 20:59.640
is no match for the brilliance
emanating from you, Lady Rishe.
20:59.640 --> 21:01.990
Even flowers at the height of their
beauty, blooming in profusion,
20:59.640 --> 21:03.570
His skin is already pale to begin
with, but he looks nearly blue now!
21:01.990 --> 21:03.570
would feel shamed in your presence.
21:13.840 --> 21:15.960
Did you learn something?
21:15.960 --> 21:17.480
I can't quite grasp it.
21:17.480 --> 21:19.100
Everything he said was innocuous.
21:19.100 --> 21:20.960
He didn't show even a sliver
of his true intentions.
21:20.960 --> 21:21.640
What?
21:21.640 --> 21:25.340
Then, earlier, the look you had, like you
were about to kill with your gaze...
21:25.340 --> 21:26.610
What was that?
21:27.340 --> 21:32.320
More importantly, Kyle seems to have brought
a number of academics from Coyolles.
21:32.320 --> 21:33.100
What?
21:34.250 --> 21:37.080
Your color has improved tremendously, Kyle.
21:39.540 --> 21:40.990
It couldn't be.
21:42.150 --> 21:45.170
If you want to hear what they have
to say, too, I'll make arrangements.
21:45.890 --> 21:47.430
I would be happy to!
21:47.430 --> 21:50.990
Actually, I've heard that
Prince Kyle is very weak,
21:50.990 --> 21:53.700
and I have a medicine
I'd like for him to try!
21:53.700 --> 21:56.340
If the scholars he has
with him will permit it,
21:56.340 --> 21:59.120
then there won't be any need
to slip the drug into his food!
22:01.250 --> 22:02.790
That was a joke.
22:02.790 --> 22:05.670
It didn't sound like a joke.
22:05.670 --> 22:09.600
First, tomorrow there will be a welcome
feast for him, though it will be a bother.
22:09.600 --> 22:12.300
Of course. I will have the preparations made.
22:12.300 --> 22:15.310
I'll have Kyle and Lawvine
meet face-to-face there.
22:15.920 --> 22:18.280
Whatever Kyle might be plotting,
22:18.280 --> 22:19.730
that should serve to keep him in check.
22:21.010 --> 22:22.960
Hey, why are you making that expression?
22:22.960 --> 22:24.570
Oh, it's nothing!
22:25.160 --> 22:29.820
If Count Lawvine comes to the
party tomorrow evening...
22:31.000 --> 22:33.650
the fact that I'm Lucius will be revealed!
