WEBVTT
00:01.840 --> 00:03.060
Thank you.
00:04.690 --> 00:08.560
I heard that Sir Kamil and
Elsie won't receive punishment.
00:09.310 --> 00:11.940
It's nothing to thank me for.
00:12.250 --> 00:15.640
While I'm thinking of it, I heard that
the policies for improving the slums
00:15.640 --> 00:19.580
are going to move forward under
your leadership, Prince Theodore.
00:21.200 --> 00:24.040
My brother asked me if I wanted to do it.
00:24.040 --> 00:28.330
Then, does that mean the both of you
will be attending to official matters?
00:29.530 --> 00:32.070
Well, I suppose it does.
00:32.820 --> 00:36.590
Now, you didn't take the trouble to
come here just to say that, did you?
00:37.430 --> 00:40.470
Actually, I have a favor to ask of you.
00:43.060 --> 00:43.710
What?
00:44.350 --> 00:48.230
This is something which will be
essential for your brother as well.
00:48.690 --> 00:53.230
What do I do? I have no idea
what my sister-in-law is saying.
00:53.640 --> 00:56.170
Please, Prince Theodore.
02:30.600 --> 02:32.390
The preparations are complete.
02:34.620 --> 02:36.550
I'll be off now.
02:36.820 --> 02:37.760
Yes, my lady!
02:42.270 --> 02:45.110
An official letter from the
Kingdom of Coyolles has arrived.
02:57.910 --> 02:58.750
Come in.
03:01.240 --> 03:03.970
How are you faring, Prince Arnold?
03:03.970 --> 03:07.830
Thank you for granting me your
time in spite of how busy you are.
03:08.120 --> 03:10.330
What sort of business brings you here?
03:10.330 --> 03:14.320
You seem too tense to have come
simply to see your fiancé's face.
03:20.660 --> 03:23.840
A room has been prepared for you
at the villa, Your Highness.
03:24.200 --> 03:24.990
What?
03:25.730 --> 03:29.320
If you have the time, may I
show you the room now?
03:29.320 --> 03:32.350
Why would this errand make you so nervous?
03:32.650 --> 03:36.100
My maids have worked
eagerly and diligently on it.
03:36.100 --> 03:38.950
It's almost like a graduation exam for them.
03:39.610 --> 03:44.320
However, I can confidently assert that the
room they've prepared is quite lovely.
03:45.400 --> 03:49.830
I had thought it was your wish
to live in that villa alone.
03:49.830 --> 03:51.440
Of course not!
03:51.440 --> 03:55.210
I want to live there with you, Prince Arnold.
03:56.560 --> 03:57.770
I see.
03:58.440 --> 04:01.340
It seems you're plotting
something amusing yet again.
04:01.340 --> 04:03.630
You make me sound awful!
04:04.070 --> 04:05.090
Very well.
04:05.440 --> 04:07.550
I'll go along with your scheme.
04:07.550 --> 04:09.720
Thanks to you, my mood has improved.
04:10.630 --> 04:12.470
Your mood?
04:12.470 --> 04:13.520
Let's go.
04:19.560 --> 04:21.230
Thank you.
04:25.430 --> 04:27.570
This is your private bedroom, Your Highness.
04:28.120 --> 04:31.090
What do you think? It's a
splendid room, isn't it?
04:31.090 --> 04:32.870
Very impressive.
04:33.100 --> 04:36.750
This villa has been left
abandoned for many years.
04:37.000 --> 04:39.210
You've been here a mere three weeks.
04:39.210 --> 04:40.950
To think you've already
improved it this much.
04:40.950 --> 04:42.620
Thank you!
04:42.620 --> 04:44.880
You taught the novices starting
with the basics, didn't you?
04:44.880 --> 04:49.010
Yes. Once they've learned a trade, they'll
be able to make their living anywhere.
04:49.010 --> 04:51.030
And they'll gain something else, too.
04:52.520 --> 04:53.520
Pride.
04:54.050 --> 04:57.590
When they accomplish their work
and earn the praise of another,
04:57.590 --> 04:58.920
it will give them a sense of pride.
04:59.550 --> 05:02.230
That sort of pride can help a person
make the most of themselves.
05:02.740 --> 05:06.610
You have a talent for giving
people a sense of self-respect.
05:10.320 --> 05:13.020
That's the expression you
make when I compliment you?
05:14.310 --> 05:17.360
You're teasing me, aren't you?
05:17.360 --> 05:19.460
It may not seem like it,
but it's heartfelt praise.
05:19.950 --> 05:21.610
Well, it's just too bad for you.
05:21.610 --> 05:26.010
Even if it's a lie, receiving a compliment
from you makes me very happy.
05:28.690 --> 05:32.660
Out of the whole villa, this
room gets the best light.
05:38.120 --> 05:40.630
The wind feels wonderful
when you open the window,
05:40.630 --> 05:42.860
so it's perfect for an afternoon
nap, don't you think?
05:43.220 --> 05:45.620
I never return to my chambers during the day.
05:46.180 --> 05:48.490
This room is next to yours, isn't it?
05:48.490 --> 05:52.620
Yes. I thought that would
make it easier for the guards.
05:52.840 --> 05:54.040
And for me.
05:54.040 --> 05:54.810
What?
05:54.810 --> 05:57.740
Because I'll get wind of your
reckless behavior beforehand.
05:57.740 --> 06:01.500
I'm planning to spend my time lazing about,
so I won't be doing anything reckless.
06:03.000 --> 06:04.500
Not much, anyway.
06:04.500 --> 06:05.670
Idiot.
06:06.180 --> 06:07.790
You're free to do what you want,
06:07.790 --> 06:10.360
but don't do anything as reckless
as you did the other day.
06:10.360 --> 06:11.970
I'm very sorry.
06:13.050 --> 06:17.090
Speaking of which, do you remember what we
talked about at the party the other evening?
06:17.090 --> 06:17.890
What do you mean?
06:18.460 --> 06:21.520
When you said that you wanted
to try sparring with me.
06:23.510 --> 06:26.830
It might be worthwhile for me to
try sparring with you one day.
06:26.830 --> 06:29.320
I would like that very much!
06:29.980 --> 06:32.280
Yes, we did say that.
06:32.280 --> 06:33.790
Just once would be enough.
06:33.790 --> 06:35.660
Would you instruct me?
06:35.660 --> 06:40.410
Teach me using the special training methods
Your Highness and the imperial knights use.
06:41.380 --> 06:43.670
What makes you say that they're special?
06:44.370 --> 06:48.840
Since coming to this palace, I've watched
everyone train a number of times,
06:48.840 --> 06:53.550
but Your Highness' and the imperial knights'
movement is clearly different from the rest.
06:56.720 --> 06:57.720
All right.
06:57.720 --> 07:00.390
What? Are you sure?
07:01.010 --> 07:05.150
I did promise to do anything
you wished, after all.
07:05.150 --> 07:08.360
Oh, um... Thank you.
07:08.920 --> 07:10.900
That makes me incredibly happy.
07:11.440 --> 07:12.780
Happy?
07:13.260 --> 07:20.790
As far as I know, your sword work is the
most beautiful, most powerful in all the world.
07:22.070 --> 07:24.030
In all the world, huh?
07:24.800 --> 07:27.040
Th-That's just a turn of phrase, of course!
07:27.630 --> 07:32.360
A skill that's only meant for killing
people can't possibly be beautiful.
07:32.810 --> 07:33.930
Your Highness...
07:35.520 --> 07:37.710
I'll head to the practice
grounds ahead of you.
07:37.710 --> 07:39.540
Change into some clothes
that you can move in.
07:43.410 --> 07:46.640
Is this how you always practice?
07:46.640 --> 07:48.440
Not always.
07:48.440 --> 07:52.190
Once you've acquired an incorrect habit,
it's too late to do anything about it.
07:52.190 --> 07:57.000
The arm and leg restraints are meant to
help closely mimic battlefield conditions,
07:57.000 --> 07:59.700
so that you can continue to fight
even if you've lost a limb.
08:00.250 --> 08:02.330
That's what this training is for, isn't it?
08:03.370 --> 08:06.330
As usual, your observations are impressive.
08:06.780 --> 08:09.340
Even if my arm is ripped off,
I'll keep swinging my sword.
08:09.340 --> 08:12.090
Even if my leg is shattered,
I'll continue to advance.
08:12.090 --> 08:14.370
And even if I should lose both my eyes,
08:14.370 --> 08:17.590
I'll keep looking, to the very last,
for a path to cut down my enemy.
08:18.040 --> 08:21.400
Doing that will lead to
a way for me to survive.
08:22.000 --> 08:26.810
I've heard that a knight's path
pursues nobility and beauty.
08:27.570 --> 08:31.420
However, they will find a way to survive, no
matter how unsightly their struggles may be.
08:31.420 --> 08:33.500
It's to survive that they kill their enemies.
08:34.150 --> 08:36.990
That way of thinking comes from
Your Highness, doesn't it?
08:38.140 --> 08:40.490
It's no wonder I was no match for him.
08:40.490 --> 08:42.150
Don't worry.
08:42.150 --> 08:47.000
I have no intention of injuring an opponent
who's preparing for their marriage ceremony.
08:49.540 --> 08:54.130
If I win, will you give me an answer
to one question, no matter what it is?
08:55.050 --> 09:01.390
In exchange, if I lose, I'll grant one wish
of Your Highness', no matter what it may be.
09:02.910 --> 09:04.140
Very well.
09:04.340 --> 09:06.860
Then, if you would.
09:07.390 --> 09:08.540
Begin!
09:11.580 --> 09:14.300
The longer our exchange of blows lasts,
the greater my disadvantage.
09:20.120 --> 09:21.600
A frontal attack!
09:27.010 --> 09:29.410
What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
09:30.580 --> 09:32.790
My center of balance is unstable.
09:32.790 --> 09:36.300
My instincts are trying to make me move
the way I do when I can use my left arm.
09:36.960 --> 09:40.800
If I adjust my center of
balance... my reach will change.
09:41.740 --> 09:43.470
I'll have to step in closer!
09:45.640 --> 09:47.890
Your movement's dulled!
Don't rely on strength alone!
09:48.490 --> 09:49.900
Your footwork is growing careless!
09:50.270 --> 09:51.900
Make use of your nimbleness.
09:52.310 --> 09:53.480
Step in farther!
09:54.400 --> 09:55.530
Another step.
09:55.530 --> 09:56.150
Still not there.
09:56.150 --> 09:57.150
You see?
09:59.860 --> 10:01.850
He really is impressive.
10:01.850 --> 10:03.760
In this short exchange of blows,
10:03.760 --> 10:06.870
he's telling me exactly what
points I need to improve upon.
10:09.870 --> 10:14.850
It's only been a little while since Lady
Rishe crossed swords with His Highness, but...
10:14.850 --> 10:18.630
You're right. In the blink of an eye,
her movements have already improved.
10:26.260 --> 10:27.780
Next, he'll come from above!
10:34.690 --> 10:37.430
The same move as back then.
10:38.040 --> 10:42.180
But even if I understand what's
happening, my body can't keep up.
10:43.410 --> 10:47.320
Earlier, you said that my sword
was the most powerful, didn't you?
10:47.920 --> 10:52.710
But that movement just now was that of
someone who knows of a person stronger than me.
10:53.640 --> 10:58.030
Even as you're sparring with me, you're
thinking of that person, aren't you?
10:59.740 --> 11:00.950
How enviable.
11:02.760 --> 11:05.000
I'm on the verge of becoming jealous.
11:06.200 --> 11:07.680
You jest.
11:08.150 --> 11:14.600
As I told you, you are the strongest
person I know, Prince Arnold.
11:15.520 --> 11:20.620
It's true. The prince of five years in the
future was even stronger than he is now.
11:20.620 --> 11:22.760
He was cruel and overwhelmingly formidable.
11:25.270 --> 11:26.140
Come at me.
11:27.340 --> 11:29.330
Focus on me a just little more.
11:48.820 --> 11:49.560
I'm not done yet!
12:04.720 --> 12:06.350
Very impressive.
12:06.350 --> 12:08.870
I wasn't planning on moving a single step.
12:10.050 --> 12:14.120
It seems you limited yourself
quite a bit for my sake.
12:14.620 --> 12:17.630
Though it appears I greatly
underestimated you.
12:18.740 --> 12:21.160
Thank you for your instruction.
12:22.600 --> 12:26.380
You'll do any one thing
I want, is that right?
12:26.380 --> 12:28.880
Yes. Ask whatever you like of me.
12:28.880 --> 12:30.390
I won't go back on my word.
12:31.600 --> 12:34.760
Then, clear your afternoon
for two days from now.
12:34.760 --> 12:36.020
We're going into town.
12:36.020 --> 12:39.810
Into town? To do what?
12:39.810 --> 12:41.300
I'll tell you when the time comes.
12:44.050 --> 12:46.150
What's wrong? Stand up.
12:50.030 --> 12:51.660
Um...
12:52.260 --> 12:55.010
I'm going to stay like this a little longer.
12:55.010 --> 12:57.290
Please go ahead and return without me.
12:57.290 --> 12:58.200
Why?
13:00.520 --> 13:05.920
The truth is... due to our sparring just
now, my arms and legs are shaking.
13:06.400 --> 13:07.570
What?
13:07.570 --> 13:10.180
It seems my body wasn't able to keep up.
13:10.610 --> 13:13.110
So I'm going to rest a little.
13:15.130 --> 13:16.310
Your Highness?
13:16.940 --> 13:20.440
I'll only be touching you through my
gloves, so it won't be a problem, right?
13:21.070 --> 13:21.520
What?
13:21.520 --> 13:23.020
What? Wait, Your Highness!
13:31.070 --> 13:32.680
Stop struggling. You'll fall.
13:32.680 --> 13:34.530
Um, it's just that this is...
13:34.530 --> 13:35.450
You can't stand, right?
13:35.450 --> 13:38.330
I can stand! I will stand!
Please put me down!
13:38.330 --> 13:40.930
I can't go back and just leave
my fiancée behind, can I?
13:40.930 --> 13:43.670
That may be true, but...
13:45.560 --> 13:48.780
While I'm thinking of it,
what did you want to ask me?
13:48.780 --> 13:49.300
What?
13:49.700 --> 13:54.150
You said that if you won, I'd have
to answer one question, right?
13:54.150 --> 13:56.310
Do you really think I
can ask you like this?
13:57.350 --> 13:58.310
You're laughing?
13:58.620 --> 14:02.060
I knew it! You're having fun
watching my reactions, aren't you?
14:02.060 --> 14:03.220
Am I?
14:03.820 --> 14:05.950
Then, when is your birthday?
14:05.950 --> 14:08.070
The 28th day of the 12th month.
14:08.070 --> 14:11.010
Oh, so you were born in the winter!
Next, what are your interests?
14:11.010 --> 14:12.200
I don't have any in particular.
14:12.200 --> 14:14.290
What sorts of things do
you like, Your Highness?
14:14.290 --> 14:16.090
I've never really thought about it.
14:16.090 --> 14:17.880
What type of woman do you prefer?
14:17.880 --> 14:20.310
And what are you planning
to gain by asking that?
14:32.530 --> 14:33.890
Master Oliver.
14:34.370 --> 14:36.210
Well, well. Lady Rishe.
14:36.210 --> 14:38.360
Are you moving the office now?
14:38.360 --> 14:42.900
Yes. Thank you for preparing such
a wonderful room for His Highness.
14:43.240 --> 14:44.220
Not at all.
14:44.690 --> 14:46.520
By the way, where is the prince?
14:47.070 --> 14:50.830
Actually, last night he suddenly had
to take command of the night watch,
14:50.830 --> 14:52.160
so he hasn't slept yet.
14:52.160 --> 14:53.210
What?
14:53.210 --> 14:57.240
I've implored him to take a nap, but
he has his official duties to perform.
14:57.240 --> 14:59.560
He doesn't show any signs of resting.
15:03.950 --> 15:06.420
Please rest, Your Highness.
15:06.420 --> 15:09.080
Oliver said something unnecessary, didn't he?
15:09.080 --> 15:11.170
Staying up all night
will take its toll on your body.
15:11.580 --> 15:13.180
I won't be able to sleep anyway.
15:13.650 --> 15:17.990
During the day, I can feel all sorts
of people's presences in the palace.
15:20.390 --> 15:21.560
All right.
15:24.090 --> 15:27.880
Then I shall lull you
to sleep, Prince Arnold.
15:28.760 --> 15:29.540
What?
15:37.000 --> 15:42.530
Now then, I will stay by your side,
so please don't worry, just rest.
15:44.170 --> 15:48.380
Sometimes you say things
that make no sense at all.
15:48.380 --> 15:53.580
If I'm here, I don't think you'll
be distracted by far off presences.
15:53.580 --> 15:55.120
You're right about that.
15:55.120 --> 15:57.930
Then please, get some rest.
16:23.640 --> 16:25.470
This doesn't seem to be working.
16:29.110 --> 16:30.840
May I lie by your side?
16:39.030 --> 16:40.500
Pardon the intrusion.
16:53.840 --> 16:56.480
What are you doing?
16:57.020 --> 17:01.930
Imitating a heartbeat like this is a
technique for calming the heart and mind.
17:03.560 --> 17:08.180
In my life as a maid, I
often used to do this for my lady.
17:08.880 --> 17:13.000
If you do this for a young child,
they'll quickly fall asleep.
17:13.490 --> 17:15.010
A young child?
17:18.070 --> 17:21.850
You're probably the only person
who would treat me like that.
17:44.450 --> 17:46.310
If you're curious about
it, do whatever you like.
18:02.430 --> 18:03.560
Stop that.
18:04.410 --> 18:05.720
You really...
18:05.720 --> 18:09.310
I-I'm sorry. That must have tickled.
18:11.060 --> 18:14.260
If we were going to do this,
then I should have worn gloves.
18:14.770 --> 18:18.600
If I had, then I could
have made a counter-stroke.
18:18.600 --> 18:23.410
It isn't as though touching me with gloves
or through cloth makes it all right!
18:24.350 --> 18:25.440
It was a joke.
18:32.520 --> 18:36.440
His Highness is so sincere
and oddly conscientious.
18:38.720 --> 18:41.450
While I, on the other hand...
18:46.640 --> 18:47.680
Please go ahead.
18:49.880 --> 18:50.900
And do what?
18:51.750 --> 18:53.730
I felt I wasn't being fair.
18:54.430 --> 18:56.900
If it would make Your Highness feel better,
18:56.900 --> 18:59.990
then you should touch me
and have your reven—
18:59.990 --> 19:02.580
Are you doing this on purpose?
19:02.580 --> 19:03.910
Honestly, Your Highness!
19:08.050 --> 19:12.340
For my revenge... I'll show mercy and
settle for that expression of yours.
19:14.840 --> 19:16.330
You're a strange one.
19:16.330 --> 19:18.680
You think nothing of sleeping beside me,
19:18.680 --> 19:21.690
but meeting my eyes when we're
this close unsettles you.
19:23.330 --> 19:25.640
I wanted to put a charm on you.
19:25.640 --> 19:26.510
A charm?
19:26.940 --> 19:29.650
This palace isn't a battlefield.
19:29.650 --> 19:31.520
It's Your Highness' home, isn't it?
19:31.520 --> 19:36.900
That's why I hoped you would feel even a
little more at ease so that you could sleep.
19:37.490 --> 19:40.820
Then stay here until I fall asleep.
19:42.150 --> 19:45.650
It's far more pleasant than an empty room.
19:48.120 --> 19:49.460
All right.
20:04.720 --> 20:06.020
You're awake?
20:11.600 --> 20:13.940
Your Highness...
20:17.000 --> 20:19.190
Prince Arnold, why are you here?
20:19.190 --> 20:22.570
Don't you remember climbing
into this bed yourself?
20:24.140 --> 20:26.590
W-Were you able to sleep?
20:26.590 --> 20:29.220
That's the first thing you want to know?
20:30.570 --> 20:32.440
In any case, I do beg your pardon.
20:32.440 --> 20:34.830
I'll leave your room right
away. Please don't worry.
20:34.250 --> 20:34.830
Wait.
20:35.060 --> 20:35.670
Huh?
20:36.070 --> 20:36.780
Wha—
20:39.080 --> 20:40.340
Excuse me, Your Highness!
20:40.830 --> 20:43.440
Stay quiet for just a little while.
20:47.090 --> 20:47.860
Come in.
20:50.700 --> 20:51.720
What's wrong?
20:52.140 --> 20:56.230
We've received reports. Were you sleeping?
20:56.230 --> 20:59.470
Lady Rishe spoke to you, then.
20:59.470 --> 21:03.240
If you're able to spend time
comfortably in your new chambers,
21:03.240 --> 21:04.490
then that's wonderful.
21:04.490 --> 21:07.360
Keep it brief. I'll listen to it here.
21:07.910 --> 21:09.540
As you command.
21:12.870 --> 21:15.160
Then, I'll go back to work.
21:15.160 --> 21:17.150
Please be sure to rest thoroughly.
21:17.150 --> 21:18.620
Stop nagging.
21:18.620 --> 21:20.390
I understand, so hurry up and go away.
21:20.390 --> 21:21.380
Yes, of course.
21:21.880 --> 21:23.630
Well then, good night.
21:29.860 --> 21:30.880
It's all right now.
21:31.310 --> 21:33.390
I-I know.
21:33.840 --> 21:35.860
I know, but...
21:45.020 --> 21:47.330
Welcome back, Lady Rishe.
21:47.330 --> 21:49.160
Thank you, Elsie.
21:49.420 --> 21:52.130
A package has arrived from
the Aria Trading Company.
21:52.960 --> 21:54.100
Thank you.
22:01.960 --> 22:04.700
Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be very busy.
22:07.640 --> 22:12.430
That will be the ten day training schedule
for all of you knight candidates.
22:13.080 --> 22:15.180
I have high hopes for your progress.
22:15.430 --> 22:16.560
Yes, sir!
