WEBVTT
00:11.520 --> 00:14.340
I have to make it through
the evening party without
00:14.340 --> 00:16.660
Count Lawvine discovering my double identity.
00:17.280 --> 00:18.410
And...
00:19.100 --> 00:22.790
I'd like to somehow find a way to get
Prince Kyle to take this medicine.
00:22.790 --> 00:25.420
If he doesn't receive treatment,
in the near future...
00:25.420 --> 00:28.760
his illness will keep him
from even being able to stand.
00:38.220 --> 00:39.700
What a surprise.
00:41.620 --> 00:44.310
I thought that anyone caring for
an herb garden of this sort...
00:44.310 --> 00:48.490
must be someone in a profession
similar to mine, but...
00:50.720 --> 00:52.050
Good evening,
00:53.000 --> 00:55.310
person who seems to be akin to me.
00:58.650 --> 01:00.220
Professor Michel!
02:49.060 --> 02:50.820
What do you think of the aurora?
02:51.470 --> 02:53.450
Has it given you a hint to your research?
02:53.450 --> 02:55.560
Yes! Very much so!
02:55.560 --> 02:57.320
I'm glad to hear that.
02:57.320 --> 03:01.620
I'm sorry, Professor, asking you to
travel all this way to bring me here.
03:01.620 --> 03:03.330
Why are you apologizing?
03:03.860 --> 03:06.330
You're my student,
03:06.840 --> 03:10.330
so whatever it is you want to
see, I want to help you see it.
03:10.710 --> 03:13.280
If there's something you
don't know, I'll teach you.
03:13.840 --> 03:17.730
Though, when you want to achieve something
solely through your own efforts, I won't interfere.
03:22.260 --> 03:26.470
In my third life, this man was my teacher.
03:28.370 --> 03:32.030
Pardon my insolence, but may I ask your name?
03:33.420 --> 03:36.610
Oh, my apologies if I've startled you.
03:37.050 --> 03:38.790
I am Michel Hévin.
03:39.330 --> 03:41.150
I'm here from Coyolles.
03:41.920 --> 03:43.700
If you've lost your way,
03:43.700 --> 03:45.660
we can escort you back to your room.
03:45.660 --> 03:47.420
How kind of you.
03:47.420 --> 03:49.330
But I'm not lost.
03:49.860 --> 03:52.180
I'm interested in the young lady there.
03:52.820 --> 03:54.070
This individual is our empire's—
03:54.070 --> 03:55.400
It's all right.
03:58.960 --> 04:01.590
My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
04:02.290 --> 04:04.780
Master Hévin, might you be a scholar?
04:04.780 --> 04:06.510
A scholar, you say?
04:06.510 --> 04:09.260
That may be the simplest way to put it.
04:10.920 --> 04:12.270
Your nails.
04:12.600 --> 04:14.640
You used sap from the
gelwood tree, didn't you?
04:15.140 --> 04:17.520
Though, it seems you've
used dyes to add color.
04:19.020 --> 04:22.120
What method did you use to harden it?
04:22.120 --> 04:25.920
I took lish grass and gibi
nectar, added labed leaf,
04:25.920 --> 04:28.030
and compounded them together with glue.
04:28.030 --> 04:31.660
Did you refrain from using kirith
leaf in order to prevent air bubbles?
04:31.660 --> 04:34.040
You seem to know everything about it already.
04:34.370 --> 04:36.910
It's no more than a logic-based theory.
04:38.160 --> 04:41.050
What do you think would happen
if you mixed in some estoma sap?
04:43.020 --> 04:45.380
I think it might harden even further.
04:45.880 --> 04:48.390
Though, that's only a hypothesis, at most.
04:48.390 --> 04:51.310
The actual results would
require verification.
04:51.570 --> 04:53.760
You're quite an admirable young lady.
04:53.760 --> 04:57.310
So admirable that were it possible, I
would like to take you as my apprentice.
04:59.340 --> 05:02.240
If you wouldn't mind, just for the
time that you're staying here,
05:02.240 --> 05:04.610
may I receive your
instruction on various matters?
05:04.610 --> 05:06.860
Yes. I don't mind at all.
05:07.110 --> 05:08.820
Thank you so much!
05:08.820 --> 05:12.080
Then, Master Hévin, this means
you'll be like a professor to me!
05:12.080 --> 05:13.640
A professor, is it?
05:14.620 --> 05:16.440
That sounds like fun.
05:18.440 --> 05:23.460
I never imagined the day would come that
I'd be able to call him "Professor" again.
05:28.030 --> 05:29.900
By the way, my student,
05:30.800 --> 05:35.580
the herbs in this garden lie
slightly outside my expertise,
05:35.580 --> 05:37.480
so this is only a guess,
05:39.300 --> 05:43.230
but are you perhaps intending
to give Kyle some manner of medicine?
05:48.490 --> 05:53.490
Lady Rishe, I never imagined I'd have the
good fortune of seeing you twice in one day.
05:53.770 --> 05:57.370
Please, don't hold to formalities
for my sake. Speak as you wish.
05:57.370 --> 05:59.990
Then, if I may take you at your word...
06:01.500 --> 06:04.960
Michel, what are you doing?
06:04.960 --> 06:07.220
I've found this amazing girl!
06:07.220 --> 06:09.180
I thought you might want
to meet her, too, Kyle.
06:09.180 --> 06:12.830
This individual is His Highness,
the crown prince's fiancée.
06:12.830 --> 06:14.840
Really? Is she?
06:15.290 --> 06:18.440
But she's become my student, you see?
06:18.440 --> 06:19.270
What?
06:20.620 --> 06:24.400
The herbal medicine she's compounded
seems like it would work for you, Kyle.
06:24.400 --> 06:25.690
Herbal medicine?
06:26.160 --> 06:31.410
It's outside my field, but I felt you
should be used in this experiment, Kyle.
06:31.410 --> 06:35.780
Professor! You shouldn't use the
prince of a kingdom in an experiment!
06:35.780 --> 06:38.720
Oh, have I made a blunder?
06:38.720 --> 06:41.370
Common sense is such a
difficult thing, isn't it?
06:41.370 --> 06:46.090
But I truly do, from the bottom of
my heart, want Kyle to get well.
06:47.640 --> 06:48.620
All right.
06:48.620 --> 06:50.300
Are you sure?
06:50.760 --> 06:54.740
The greatest scholar in my kingdom
says he wants me to try this medicine.
06:54.740 --> 06:55.800
From the beginning...
06:56.180 --> 07:01.190
I have been resolved to use any method
necessary to cure this disease.
07:03.140 --> 07:06.020
Then, I will prepare it immediately.
07:11.700 --> 07:12.980
Here it is.
07:14.760 --> 07:18.480
The truth is that there is one
problem with this medicine.
07:19.560 --> 07:20.900
Please, tell us.
07:22.830 --> 07:24.420
This medicine...
07:26.570 --> 07:28.710
is incredibly revolting in flavor.
07:29.170 --> 07:30.940
The flavor is incredibly revolting?
07:32.320 --> 07:34.570
Oh, is that all?
07:34.570 --> 07:36.500
Kyle will be just fine.
07:36.500 --> 07:38.990
After all, he's a very strong boy.
07:38.990 --> 07:40.840
He's earnest and hard-working, too.
07:40.840 --> 07:41.600
Right?
07:42.680 --> 07:47.530
Lady Rishe, if this is the ordeal
which has been bestowed upon me,
07:47.530 --> 07:50.230
I need only face it down with
all of my strength and spirit.
07:51.740 --> 07:54.110
I know. I'll feed it to you!
07:54.990 --> 07:57.990
Professor! You mustn't! At
least ready some water first!
07:56.240 --> 07:57.160
Here you go.
07:57.160 --> 07:57.990
Wait, I—
08:04.190 --> 08:06.080
Are you all right?
08:08.530 --> 08:09.950
I am.
08:10.750 --> 08:12.880
So, Kyle, what does it taste like?
08:12.880 --> 08:14.270
What is the flavor like?
08:15.630 --> 08:18.390
Bitter mixed with sour, and
mingled with the two...
08:18.390 --> 08:22.340
a particular stench, like that
of a horse stable, swoops in.
08:22.340 --> 08:27.400
Th-Then, after swallowing, a strange
sweetness wraps around the tongue like a slimy—
08:27.400 --> 08:29.700
There's no need to explain each stage!
08:29.700 --> 08:31.720
Shall we try to get a clearer
grasp of the flavor?
08:29.700 --> 08:32.150
Excuse me! Please bring some water!
08:31.720 --> 08:32.150
Y-Yes, sir!
08:32.790 --> 08:34.180
Here. One more sip.
08:34.180 --> 08:35.410
Professor!
08:42.840 --> 08:47.700
Now, my student, would you like to look
at this until your escort arrives?
08:55.340 --> 08:56.880
Professor, this is—!
08:56.880 --> 08:59.150
My research records.
08:59.610 --> 09:01.320
They're too difficult for Kyle.
09:01.320 --> 09:04.270
He said that no one would
be able to understand them.
09:08.800 --> 09:11.530
You truly are a most intriguing girl.
09:18.710 --> 09:22.500
Rishe, you truly hate
this medicine, don't you?
09:27.440 --> 09:29.280
You're an intelligent girl.
09:29.280 --> 09:31.130
If you have a flaw,
09:31.670 --> 09:37.560
it might be that you only want to use your
knowledge and skills to make people happy.
09:38.360 --> 09:43.130
I think it's a mistake for you
to determine others' happiness.
09:44.600 --> 09:47.560
If something is born into this world
as a poison, then its reason for being...
09:47.560 --> 09:51.560
would be to fulfill its role and bring
misfortune to people, don't you think?
09:52.890 --> 09:57.690
Is it truly impossible for a poison
to bring someone happiness?
09:59.360 --> 10:02.120
The idea that someone is born
to bring misfortune to others...
10:02.120 --> 10:05.200
that preconception in itself
isn't like you, Professor.
10:05.880 --> 10:07.860
There's no need to worry.
10:07.860 --> 10:09.960
This compound hasn't been perfected yet.
10:11.050 --> 10:15.900
It's complete, but I've been unable to obtain
the human resources necessary for testing.
10:15.900 --> 10:19.470
Someone who will use this
compound exactly as I wish...
10:19.800 --> 10:21.800
Such a person doesn't exist.
10:24.420 --> 10:26.160
The professor and I...
10:27.160 --> 10:30.830
we just couldn't come to understand each
other when it came to that compound.
10:31.520 --> 10:35.760
I wonder if the professor has met the
kind of person he was looking for.
10:37.990 --> 10:39.900
P-Pardon the intrusion!
10:40.380 --> 10:42.270
Lady Rishe, your escort has arrived.
10:43.410 --> 10:44.250
What?
10:44.900 --> 10:46.700
Rishe, we're leaving.
10:46.700 --> 10:48.410
Prince Arnold...
10:48.700 --> 10:50.560
Your Highness, why are you here?
10:57.700 --> 11:00.070
This is Michel Hévin, a scholar.
11:00.070 --> 11:01.810
He is incredibly knowledgeable
11:01.810 --> 11:05.220
and he'll be teaching me all
sorts of things while he's here.
11:06.650 --> 11:09.160
I am honored to receive such an introduction.
11:09.160 --> 11:12.880
I suppose I should present
myself as well as possible here.
11:14.610 --> 11:15.890
Good evening.
11:15.890 --> 11:18.520
You're this empire's crown prince, I assume?
11:19.400 --> 11:23.480
It seems you've granted permission for
us to enter your imperial library.
11:23.480 --> 11:25.200
Thank you.
11:25.200 --> 11:29.490
If you should require anything for your
exchange of knowledge with my future wife,
11:29.490 --> 11:31.200
I will procure it.
11:31.200 --> 11:32.690
Ask for whatever it may be.
11:34.780 --> 11:38.200
Then, I won't refrain from
making many requests of you.
11:40.630 --> 11:42.840
Why did you suddenly come to escort me?
11:42.840 --> 11:44.340
I was on my way back anyway.
11:44.780 --> 11:47.610
Are you always out and about this late?
11:47.610 --> 11:49.720
When I become absorbed in my work,
11:49.720 --> 11:51.780
I find myself forgetting the time.
11:52.500 --> 11:56.150
Oh, but I slept until this afternoon,
so please don't worry.
11:59.000 --> 11:59.610
Here.
12:05.360 --> 12:06.760
Use that.
12:06.760 --> 12:10.040
What? But this pocket watch
is such a precious item!
12:10.040 --> 12:13.670
It doesn't bother me. Since
it's easy to carry around,
12:13.670 --> 12:15.750
I found it convenient to have for battles.
12:15.750 --> 12:19.630
By "battles," do you mean
in strategizing for battles?
12:19.630 --> 12:24.120
Yes. There are some who doubt them
because they haven't existed for long,
12:24.120 --> 12:26.640
but it's just a tool which
accurately tells the time.
12:27.540 --> 12:31.060
His Highness's thinking is flexible
enough to adopt new technologies.
12:32.820 --> 12:36.310
Someone who will use this
compound exactly as I wish...
12:36.890 --> 12:38.870
Such a person doesn't exist.
12:43.670 --> 12:44.740
What is it?
12:44.740 --> 12:46.040
It's nothing.
12:46.470 --> 12:50.010
I'll take you at your word and
indulge myself by borrowing this.
12:50.010 --> 12:55.120
Now that I think about it, my master
in herbalism found these useful, too.
12:55.120 --> 12:56.680
Your master?
12:56.680 --> 13:01.130
Yes. A truly incredible
herbalist from Renhua.
13:01.450 --> 13:04.570
How does that man compare
to this master of yours?
13:04.570 --> 13:07.880
Professor Michel isn't an herbalist.
13:07.880 --> 13:11.620
Though, he does use herbal medicines in
his research, so he has the knowledge.
13:11.620 --> 13:13.890
Then who is he?
13:14.270 --> 13:19.450
He researches all the substances in
the world and creates new substances.
13:19.450 --> 13:21.270
That's the sort of scholar he is.
13:21.270 --> 13:24.150
He creates new substances, you say?
13:24.150 --> 13:29.410
In Professor Michel's case, he says that
his objective isn't the creation of gold,
13:29.410 --> 13:33.510
but if we were to call him by the title
which most closely describes his work...
13:35.730 --> 13:38.190
it would be "alchemist."
13:47.060 --> 13:48.750
At tonight's party,
13:48.750 --> 13:53.670
I have to act cleverly so that Count
Lawvine doesn't notice anything.
13:55.660 --> 13:56.560
Lady Rishe.
13:56.970 --> 13:58.750
A letter has arrived for you.
13:58.750 --> 13:59.690
Thank you.
14:02.690 --> 14:04.400
Madame Mihaela.
14:08.380 --> 14:11.570
I said that the piece would
take a month to complete,
14:11.570 --> 14:15.610
but I've made a request of an artisan
visiting Galkhein from Coyolles,
14:15.610 --> 14:18.870
so it's likely that the date of
delivery will be much sooner.
14:18.870 --> 14:22.720
Changing artisans makes
this much of a difference?
14:28.510 --> 14:29.910
How beautiful!
14:51.410 --> 14:52.490
Your Highness.
14:52.490 --> 14:55.960
The fact that you find
this tedious is showing.
14:55.960 --> 14:57.240
I'm showing that on purpose.
14:57.500 --> 14:58.490
It isn't a problem.
14:59.700 --> 15:00.940
Prince Arnold.
15:02.920 --> 15:06.070
For you to prepare an event
such as this for my sake...
15:06.070 --> 15:07.740
I am entirely unworthy of it.
15:08.220 --> 15:12.130
Lady Rishe, tonight you are
indescribably beautiful.
15:12.430 --> 15:13.950
Thank you.
15:14.360 --> 15:16.890
How do you find you've
been feeling since then?
15:17.250 --> 15:20.020
Thanks to you, I'm feeling much better.
15:20.020 --> 15:21.730
That's the most important thing.
15:22.480 --> 15:26.900
Prince Arnold, I'm going to
go and speak with the ladies.
15:27.230 --> 15:30.340
Prince Kyle, please do enjoy yourself.
15:36.320 --> 15:38.100
I've finished giving my greetings,
15:38.100 --> 15:40.680
so I've met my most basic obligations.
15:41.560 --> 15:42.910
All that's left is...
15:46.790 --> 15:49.560
Now... focus.
16:17.910 --> 16:19.070
I found him.
16:19.700 --> 16:22.930
It's been a while, but that went very well.
16:22.930 --> 16:27.270
I never imagined that experience from my fifth
life would prove useful in a place like this.
16:34.720 --> 16:37.230
I must keep my focus...
16:38.220 --> 16:42.930
and keep anyone from noticing
that I'm avoiding Count Lawvine.
16:40.720 --> 16:42.930
How are you, Lady Rishe?
16:43.530 --> 16:44.670
How are you?
16:45.530 --> 16:48.350
I'm honored to meet you, Lady Rishe.
16:48.350 --> 16:53.720
No, the honor is mine. I'm very happy
to speak with you, Lord Weilman.
16:54.200 --> 16:58.620
After hearing what happened from my mother,
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
16:58.620 --> 17:01.240
Your mother?
17:01.240 --> 17:05.500
I heard that you were kind enough to
visit my mother's shop the other day.
17:05.500 --> 17:07.840
He can't mean that that
difficult proprietress...
17:07.840 --> 17:10.750
Even Her Majesty, the empress
wasn't accepted as a client.
17:11.000 --> 17:13.380
Oh, could you mean...
17:13.820 --> 17:18.510
I'm the proprietor of this
store, Mihaela Laure Weilman.
17:19.780 --> 17:21.890
I merely picked out a stone.
17:21.890 --> 17:24.930
The one who sought to purchase
something there was Prince Arnold.
17:24.930 --> 17:25.940
My!
17:25.940 --> 17:28.560
Prince Arnold giving a woman jewelry?
17:28.560 --> 17:30.870
I was surprised, too.
17:31.920 --> 17:36.860
Speaking of which, I was informed that the
delivery date will be much sooner than anticipated.
17:36.860 --> 17:41.300
I understand that it's because an artisan
from Coyolles was entrusted with the work,
17:41.300 --> 17:43.450
but would that really make
this great a difference?
17:43.750 --> 17:48.340
Coyolles' jewelry artisans
possess superior techniques.
17:48.340 --> 17:51.380
The speed they can complete fine,
detailed work at is completely different.
17:51.640 --> 17:56.300
Really? I suppose I should expect no less
from a country which produces gems and metals.
17:58.840 --> 18:01.530
Count Lawvine seems to be standing still.
18:09.760 --> 18:11.270
Prince Arnold,
18:11.270 --> 18:15.440
please, will you lend Coyolles your strength?
18:16.200 --> 18:18.890
Instead of aid through money or medical care,
18:18.890 --> 18:22.210
we would like to receive Galkhein's
support through military means.
18:23.890 --> 18:27.640
As you know, Coyolles' military
strength is all but nonexistent.
18:28.290 --> 18:34.120
Our kingdom is allowed to exist
because we provide gems and metals.
18:35.210 --> 18:38.200
If our neighboring nations so wished,
18:38.200 --> 18:40.550
they could destroy us at any
time, and they threaten to do so.
18:41.710 --> 18:43.930
I want to extricate us from this situation
18:43.930 --> 18:46.420
and obtain a method to protect our citizens!
18:48.040 --> 18:52.560
You're saying that Coyolles wants
to forge an alliance with Galkhein.
18:52.560 --> 18:54.110
It's just as you say.
18:57.330 --> 19:00.090
I've been wondering what
you were going to say.
19:00.090 --> 19:05.330
You pushed your disease-weakened body on
that long journey to come here for this?
19:07.520 --> 19:11.870
The value of the existence of a royal family
lulled into naïvety by peace is questionable.
19:14.040 --> 19:16.420
Even if, hypothetically, we
moved this discussion forward,
19:16.420 --> 19:19.220
what does Coyolles intend
to bring to our empire?
19:19.880 --> 19:24.200
We will promise to give exports of gems and
metals to your empire the highest priority.
19:25.150 --> 19:27.850
Even if our kingdom makes
no profit whatsoever.
19:29.260 --> 19:31.160
That won't work, Prince Kyle.
19:31.160 --> 19:33.780
You aren't suited to telling lies.
19:34.690 --> 19:35.930
Don't make me laugh.
19:36.330 --> 19:41.360
If I were in your place, I would be sure to
attach a period of effectiveness to that offer.
19:42.140 --> 19:44.560
The gems which serve as the
kingdoms greatest source of funds
19:44.560 --> 19:48.100
cannot continue to be supplied with
no regard to profit indefinitely.
19:49.190 --> 19:50.530
That's...
19:50.530 --> 19:54.030
It's clear why you've come
here with such a suggestion.
19:55.560 --> 20:00.130
Coyolles' mineral resources have
already nearly run dry, haven't they?
20:01.880 --> 20:04.340
Yes, that's right.
20:07.700 --> 20:09.370
It's incomprehensible to me.
20:09.970 --> 20:12.790
Your actions are nothing more
than the actions of a fool.
20:16.840 --> 20:21.060
My life... isn't likely to last much longer.
20:23.320 --> 20:27.220
A new life is about to be
born into my royal family!
20:28.040 --> 20:32.480
For the sake of that child's future,
and for the sake of our people...
20:32.480 --> 20:35.870
I must do whatever I can right now.
20:36.880 --> 20:41.190
From what I've researched, Prince
Arnold, you care for your people,
20:41.190 --> 20:43.950
and run a government which
extends a helping hand to them.
20:44.580 --> 20:45.550
If it were you, then—
20:46.550 --> 20:48.410
This isn't worth discussing any further.
20:49.000 --> 20:50.310
Please wait!
20:50.310 --> 20:52.840
Please, Prince Arnold!
20:52.840 --> 20:54.810
Please help Coyolles!
20:56.260 --> 20:59.060
You seem to be mistaken about something.
21:01.600 --> 21:06.700
Rather than joining hands with another
country, invading and taking control of it...
21:07.000 --> 21:08.950
that suits me much better.
21:17.290 --> 21:18.950
Five years from now...
21:19.330 --> 21:23.510
Prince Arnold will have become emperor
and will wage war on the world.
21:23.510 --> 21:26.370
Coyolles will fight Galkhein.
21:30.760 --> 21:33.850
And so many lives will be...
21:36.850 --> 21:42.170
But Prince Kyle has confronted Prince
Arnold and proposed an alliance.
21:42.920 --> 21:46.820
This is a branching point in history
which could change the future.
21:48.660 --> 21:52.530
Weitzner, I want to protect this kingdom.
21:52.950 --> 21:56.270
To accomplish that, I intend
to do whatever it takes.
21:57.720 --> 22:01.810
As someone born into this, someone who has
lived beyond his time, I have duties to perform,
22:02.720 --> 22:04.480
and this is the greatest of them all!
22:08.830 --> 22:12.190
Prince Kyle may be prepared for Coyolles
22:12.190 --> 22:15.560
to become a vassal state to
Galkhein if it means an alliance.
22:16.050 --> 22:16.990
But...
22:17.560 --> 22:20.060
that would only change who
is in control of the nation.
22:21.230 --> 22:23.850
Unless a relationship of
equal standing is created...
22:26.740 --> 22:29.940
But how?
