That hurts! 08:03.140 --> 08:08.320 You have cared for our young master very well, but you are no longer needed. 08:12.710 --> 08:17.340 I used my full strength, but he didn't even flinch. 08:18.170 --> 08:19.090 How? 08:41.380 --> 08:43.590 You've received a letter from the Queen. 08:45.360 --> 08:50.370 Also, I'm told we'll be driven from the village tomorrow morning. 08:52.150 --> 08:56.410 I believe you have more pressing duties than wrapping yourself in down bedclothes 08:57.320 --> 09:00.560 and dwelling on regrets and fears. 09:02.070 --> 09:05.220 Now get out of bed. 09:08.060 --> 09:10.880 N-No. 09:14.770 --> 09:19.300 Ah, so you plan to abandon your role as guard dog? 09:20.430 --> 09:21.550 Very well. 09:23.080 --> 09:27.730 Ceasing to be the Queen's guard dog would spare you some painful duties. 09:28.730 --> 09:33.290 No one would reprimand you for hiding in your bed forever, 09:33.980 --> 09:36.990 and I imagine your servants would treat you kindly. 09:42.880 --> 09:48.670 However, abandoning your revenge is a breach of our contract. 09:56.040 --> 09:57.550 Alas. 09:58.310 --> 10:01.770 What a dull ending to our story. 10:02.890 --> 10:09.260 I pity those who have lost their lives for someone so dull. 10:13.660 --> 10:14.650 Well... 10:16.210 --> 10:19.120 I suppose that's of no interest to you. 10:21.630 --> 10:24.040 You're about to disappear, after all. 10:28.140 --> 10:30.690 This isn't the meal I'd been hoping for. 10:33.440 --> 10:36.250 But I suppose it will slake the hunger for a little while. 10:42.330 --> 10:43.190 Ah. 10:44.920 --> 10:46.930 I'm dying, then? 10:50.810 --> 10:53.130 Without getting my vengeance... 10:54.850 --> 10:57.460 Forsaken even by demons... 11:33.780 --> 11:35.100 Have you decided? 11:38.790 --> 11:40.940 To stay here forever? 11:47.360 --> 11:49.400 You're such a fool. 11:51.470 --> 11:56.070 No one asked you to seek vengeance, you know. 11:59.890 --> 12:01.200 I know. 12:03.150 --> 12:08.970 You do? Then why are you trying to get revenge? 12:14.630 --> 12:17.810 And with the power you got by sacrificing me. 12:23.280 --> 12:30.270 The choice you made cost a lot of people their lives. 12:32.060 --> 12:32.910 I... 12:33.880 --> 12:35.170 I... 12:35.170 --> 12:37.710 You wanted me to forgive you? 12:38.810 --> 12:39.860 That's not it. 12:40.320 --> 12:43.130 You wanted to say goodbye to the weak boy you were? 12:43.970 --> 12:45.180 That's not it. 12:45.880 --> 12:48.720 You wanted to own everything? 12:48.720 --> 12:50.180 That's not it! 12:50.180 --> 12:51.860 We know. 12:53.830 --> 12:56.600 You wanted to avenge our deaths, right? 12:56.600 --> 12:58.150 That's not it! 12:59.280 --> 13:05.160 Then why did you sacrifice so much... 13:06.150 --> 13:08.500 and stake your own soul... 13:10.750 --> 13:13.290 to make a pact with me? 13:14.830 --> 13:20.090 I remember why I made a pact with a demon. 13:21.040 --> 13:24.430 The real reason I wanted power great enough to go against anyone... 13:28.300 --> 13:34.020 I'm not virtuous enough to give my life for someone else, 13:34.240 --> 13:38.030 or tolerant enough to let myself be trampled on without consequence. 13:39.740 --> 13:44.350 I'm a hopelessly self-centred and self-righteous person. 13:44.730 --> 13:45.930 That's why... 13:46.460 --> 13:51.660 I took your hand to repay their disgraces against me. 13:53.580 --> 13:55.380 Not for anyone else's sake. 14:00.520 --> 14:01.960 For my own sake! 14:33.070 --> 14:34.800 Sebastian! 14:37.200 --> 14:42.200 You wretch. Let go of me this instant. That's an order! 14:48.590 --> 14:54.050 Curses. I've never had a wake-up call so rotten. 14:55.480 --> 14:59.750 That's not a very nice way to treat your master, Sebastian. 15:01.890 --> 15:03.060 Oh, my. 15:04.660 --> 15:07.000 I apologize. 15:08.280 --> 15:11.140 You were very difficult to wake, you see. 15:16.190 --> 15:19.930 Good morning, my lord. 15:32.630 --> 15:37.550 You were genuinely trying to eat me just now, weren't you? 15:39.020 --> 15:42.560 Not at all. I assure you I was only 90% serious. 15:43.610 --> 15:46.180 In other words, your mind was essentially made up. 15:46.180 --> 15:51.520 Tanaka told me not to take drastic measures, so I watched and waited for a while. 15:53.020 --> 15:57.490 But your infantile tantrum triggered an impulse. 15:57.490 --> 16:02.460 And you think a butler would kill his master on impulse? You hellhound. 16:04.660 --> 16:09.880 Yes. I am one hell of a butler, after all. 16:15.510 --> 16:19.490 And now, may I ask why you took that attitude? 16:20.510 --> 16:21.980 Well... 16:25.900 --> 16:30.210 Call the others here. I'll tell all of you at once. 16:30.210 --> 16:30.980 Of course. 16:40.950 --> 16:42.300 Good grief. 16:42.670 --> 16:45.500 Why, precisely, are you servants listening at the door? 16:45.500 --> 16:52.230 We couldn't hear anythin' any—I mean, we were worried. Finny said you were actin' strangely. 16:52.230 --> 16:56.050 Ow, ow, you're hurting the wounds on my back! 16:56.050 --> 16:58.970 Please don't be angry with us, Sebastian, no! 16:58.970 --> 17:02.230 "So short-tempered." ...says Brontë. 17:05.160 --> 17:07.980 You lot are so noisy, truly. 17:09.440 --> 17:10.650 Young master! 17:12.040 --> 17:15.780 You're back to normal, young master! 17:12.680 --> 17:13.860 And stop. 17:15.780 --> 17:20.490 Do you want to set back his recovery now that he's finally well? 17:20.490 --> 17:22.910 I-I'm sorry! 17:24.370 --> 17:28.580 I caused you trouble, hmm, Finny?

At once! 19:04.990 --> 19:09.050 That's a tall order, young master. 19:10.210 --> 19:14.730 Th-That behaviour was normal for a boy your age, my lord, yes! 19:16.990 --> 19:20.400 I treasure any and all memories! 19:21.040 --> 19:24.320 I'll make you some more hot milk with plenty of honey! 19:24.320 --> 19:25.680 Honey? 19:25.680 --> 19:29.500 St-Stop! Not another word! 19:30.380 --> 19:34.890 You remember everything from when you were sick, then? 19:34.890 --> 19:38.740 Yes. Although I wish I didn't. 19:40.990 --> 19:46.430 But I wasn't doing those things of my own free will. 19:47.520 --> 19:48.890 Meaning? 19:48.890 --> 19:51.840 Perfectly trivial things seemed terrifying, 19:52.390 --> 19:54.270 and I couldn't control myself. 19:55.150 --> 19:57.850 It's hard to put it into words, but... 19:59.810 --> 20:03.100 Sounds like what happens all the time on the battlefield. 20:03.610 --> 20:06.470 Even the most well-trained of soldiers can panic 20:06.470 --> 20:10.410 if they get wounded on the battlefield in a way they never imagined. 20:10.410 --> 20:12.330 It's pretty common. 20:12.330 --> 20:16.920 So the state you were in wasn't weird or anything. 20:16.920 --> 20:23.280 True, the way you looked while "cursed" was quite shocking. 20:24.300 --> 20:27.730 Though I imagine the psychological impact was part of the objective. 20:28.760 --> 20:31.220 "Objective"? What do you mean? 20:31.220 --> 20:32.450 Here. 20:36.050 --> 20:37.790 What is this? 20:38.610 --> 20:42.070 "C4"... A code? 20:42.070 --> 20:46.840 Since time was of the essence, I took the liberty of sending off some samples. 20:47.560 --> 20:52.580 Leaves from the woods and the potion you were treated with. 20:53.070 --> 20:56.670 I asked the Palace to analyse their contents. 20:59.280 --> 21:04.130 I see. So this is the truth behind the "curse," then. 21:04.800 --> 21:05.740 Yes. 21:06.260 --> 21:10.400 And at the werewolves' request, 21:10.400 --> 21:13.440 Fräulein Sullivan is working to complete an "Ultimate Spell." 21:15.080 --> 21:17.320 Hmm? There's more. 21:20.750 --> 21:24.690 She always asks the unreasonable. 21:26.410 --> 21:31.730 "It would give me great pleasure if the little witch would come to tea with me."
