00:07.160 --> 00:09.550
Good morning, Tina, Ellie.
00:09.550 --> 00:11.350
Good morning, Lynne.
00:11.350 --> 00:13.550
Good morning to you, Lady Lynne.
00:14.400 --> 00:16.390
Please wait! Your Royal Highness!
00:20.740 --> 00:22.730
Oh, it's you.
00:25.920 --> 00:27.400
T-To what do we owe the honor?
00:28.000 --> 00:29.180
Rejoice.
00:29.180 --> 00:31.390
I'm going to make you mine.
00:37.920 --> 00:39.380
What zeal.
00:39.380 --> 00:42.790
You make notebooks for all
three of them every week?
00:42.790 --> 00:46.240
I'm sorry. I hate to use your office space.
00:46.240 --> 00:47.510
I don't mind.
00:47.510 --> 00:52.170
It saves me the trouble of reporting back
to you about the Frigid Crane business.
00:52.170 --> 00:53.860
Have you learned anything?
00:53.860 --> 00:56.970
No. It's been slow going.
00:59.200 --> 01:01.420
I wish you wouldn't get
my hopes up like that.
01:01.420 --> 01:06.500
Frigid Crane is a Great Spell, remember?
No one alive can cast it.
01:06.500 --> 01:09.900
I can't simply look it up.
01:12.100 --> 01:14.320
Allen, I'm counting on you.
01:15.150 --> 01:17.410
Hello. This is the Royal
University's department of—
01:17.410 --> 01:18.610
Is that Allen I hear?!
01:18.980 --> 01:20.780
It's me, Richard!
01:20.780 --> 01:23.430
Thank goodness! I've been looking for you!
01:23.430 --> 01:24.910
What has Lydia done now?
01:24.910 --> 01:26.510
It's not her this time!
01:30.480 --> 01:33.420
Be mine, Lynne Leinster!
01:33.700 --> 01:37.050
I've already told you that
I most emphatically decline!
01:37.520 --> 01:40.660
You would refuse me? Impossible.
01:44.520 --> 01:48.300
The Howards' cursed child has
been a bad influence on you.
01:48.300 --> 01:49.690
Simply deplorable.
01:52.540 --> 01:55.070
Don't you dare insult my friend!
01:56.070 --> 01:58.580
Like sister, like sister.
01:58.580 --> 02:01.570
But no, I suppose that
lowborn scum is to blame.
02:01.570 --> 02:03.410
You reek to high heaven.
02:03.860 --> 02:05.260
An animal stink.
02:05.260 --> 02:08.460
Have you all become his women?
02:09.300 --> 02:11.710
Is besmirching me alone not enough for you?
02:16.550 --> 02:19.340
I challenge you to a duel!
02:23.240 --> 02:24.470
What?
02:24.750 --> 02:28.600
If you wish to refuse, I shall make
my request to the royal family.
02:29.040 --> 02:34.560
His Majesty and the Four Great Dukes
can watch us settle this at a later date.
02:34.560 --> 02:36.440
May I have your answer?
02:41.030 --> 02:45.990
Episode
02:41.030 --> 02:45.990
Imitation
02:43.710 --> 02:45.380
How could it come to this?
02:45.380 --> 02:46.420
Don't worry.
02:46.420 --> 02:48.120
Let's wait for my brother to bring help.
02:54.760 --> 02:57.330
Perhaps Your Royal Highness
has gone a trifle too far?
02:57.330 --> 02:59.900
Yes. You've only just returned to duty.
02:59.900 --> 03:01.840
Consider your position if this goes on.
03:01.840 --> 03:03.220
Don't you second-guess me!
03:08.180 --> 03:10.240
None of you knows proper respect!
03:12.460 --> 03:14.520
That includes you, Lynne!
03:21.030 --> 03:23.180
Help the wounded before it's too late!
03:23.180 --> 03:24.110
O-Of course!
03:25.780 --> 03:27.160
Enough of your nonsense!
03:29.760 --> 03:33.830
I'll teach you empty-headed
little girls to know your place!
03:35.230 --> 03:37.460
Prince Gerard, are you mad?!
03:37.780 --> 03:41.090
Watch your tongue, failure!
03:41.820 --> 03:47.340
I've heard all about you and how
you'll never master supreme magic!
03:51.850 --> 03:53.760
All right, that's quite enough!
03:55.140 --> 03:56.960
What's going on here?
03:57.930 --> 04:00.110
That's quite a deadly weapon you've drawn.
04:00.110 --> 04:01.820
You again?!
04:01.820 --> 04:03.540
Stay out of my affairs!
04:03.540 --> 04:05.910
Girls! Please take cover!
04:05.910 --> 04:08.680
We'll fight, too, sir!
04:08.680 --> 04:10.330
We want to help!
04:11.500 --> 04:12.910
Die!
04:22.840 --> 04:23.670
In that case...
04:26.480 --> 04:28.260
Now! Leave while you can!
04:32.770 --> 04:34.160
Good grief.
04:40.870 --> 04:42.320
That dagger...
04:42.740 --> 04:43.970
Die.
04:44.750 --> 04:46.100
Hurry up and die!
04:46.100 --> 04:48.030
Die like a dog!
04:51.870 --> 04:53.660
You think that will stop me?!
04:57.710 --> 04:59.040
You're wide open.
05:06.450 --> 05:08.510
Excellent teamwork. Unfortunately...
05:20.190 --> 05:21.070
Now!
05:25.490 --> 05:27.650
She can do supreme magic, too?
05:34.420 --> 05:36.910
I asked you nicely to take cover.
05:37.380 --> 05:38.980
You've all been very naughty.
05:38.980 --> 05:41.790
But we were worried about you, sir.
05:43.460 --> 05:46.130
Leinster! Howard!
05:47.120 --> 05:47.810
What?!
05:47.810 --> 05:49.050
Sir!
05:50.640 --> 05:52.430
Please, just fall back!
05:53.520 --> 05:56.980
I'll kill every last one of you!
05:59.060 --> 06:00.440
Lynne!
06:02.770 --> 06:04.190
Dear Brother!
06:05.570 --> 06:06.740
You fool!
06:06.740 --> 06:09.150
Now die!
06:21.330 --> 06:22.510
Lydia.
06:22.510 --> 06:24.590
Take this seriously, why don't you?
06:24.590 --> 06:26.300
What choice did I have?
06:26.300 --> 06:29.470
I need him to testify before he dies.
06:29.470 --> 06:32.050
And I knew you were on your way.
06:32.050 --> 06:33.220
Fine, then.
06:33.700 --> 06:37.950
I'm at your side, and you're at mine.
06:37.950 --> 06:40.020
What could be more natural?
06:41.220 --> 06:42.940
Sorry. And thanks.
06:42.940 --> 06:44.810
I'll make this quick.
06:44.810 --> 06:45.360
Good.
06:50.670 --> 06:53.780
Lydia Leinster!
06:56.400 --> 06:58.040
So, what am I looking at?
06:58.040 --> 07:01.870
I'm pretty sure that dagger in his
right hand unbalanced his mind.
07:01.870 --> 07:04.220
I sense unbelievable mana.
07:04.220 --> 07:05.250
Hmm...
07:06.100 --> 07:08.430
Why don't I just slice him
up and get it over with?
07:08.430 --> 07:09.990
No. We've been over this.
07:09.990 --> 07:10.720
Spoilsport.
07:11.620 --> 07:13.140
I'll burn him, then.
07:17.900 --> 07:19.430
No warning, I see.
07:19.430 --> 07:20.970
Is it over?
07:20.970 --> 07:24.000
I wish he'd put in some effort.
I want to fire off more spells.
07:29.170 --> 07:35.510
Death is too good for anyone who tries
to hurt my sister, her school friends,
07:35.510 --> 07:37.370
and my personal servant.
07:37.990 --> 07:39.540
Lydia...
07:39.540 --> 07:41.560
That's more like it.
07:41.560 --> 07:43.220
We'll go with the usual.
07:43.220 --> 07:45.960
Yes, ma'am. You just focus on slicing.
07:45.960 --> 07:47.170
Don't need to tell me twice!
07:47.170 --> 07:49.290
Lydia!
07:49.880 --> 07:50.800
I'll back you up!
07:52.580 --> 07:53.090
Lydia!
08:09.790 --> 08:10.790
What do you think?
08:11.730 --> 08:13.530
Kind of a pain.
08:13.530 --> 08:16.220
Taking him alive will be hard work,
08:16.220 --> 08:18.660
and I have a feeling he's
immortal while his mana lasts.
08:18.660 --> 08:21.070
Thinking is your job.
08:21.070 --> 08:22.580
I just cut things.
08:23.040 --> 08:25.000
What is that dagger?
08:25.300 --> 08:26.970
Allow me to explain!
08:27.720 --> 08:28.820
Headmaster!
08:28.820 --> 08:30.240
You rotten elf!
08:31.210 --> 08:34.530
Perhaps I ought to review
the design of this arena.
08:34.530 --> 08:35.910
We're sorry.
08:35.910 --> 08:37.260
It's too fragile.
08:37.940 --> 08:40.100
Don't breathe a word of this to anyone.
08:40.100 --> 08:45.190
That dagger is imbued with the remnants
of a lost Great Spell: Radiant Shield.
08:46.020 --> 08:47.950
If its wielder lacks sufficient skill,
08:47.950 --> 08:51.610
its mana will consume him and transform
him into a shambling monster, as you see.
08:52.610 --> 08:56.330
The royal family guarded it
as a treasure of their house,
08:56.330 --> 09:00.290
but I've been tracking it since
it was stolen last night.
09:00.290 --> 09:01.580
How do we beat him?
09:02.230 --> 09:04.960
He's immortal while his mana lasts.
09:04.960 --> 09:06.850
It may be a remnant, but
it is still a Great Spell.
09:07.470 --> 09:10.110
You may safely consider his
mana supply inexhaustible,
09:10.110 --> 09:12.840
and he can consume mana to restore himself.
09:13.160 --> 09:14.230
In other words?
09:14.230 --> 09:17.440
Under the present circumstances,
there is no way.
09:24.240 --> 09:25.980
He changed again?!
09:25.980 --> 09:27.390
How sickening.
09:27.790 --> 09:29.330
I see he's gotten bigger.
09:29.330 --> 09:31.000
Well, for now...
09:31.000 --> 09:31.900
we strike fast!
09:43.220 --> 09:45.500
As you see, he's getting stronger.
09:45.500 --> 09:46.830
What a nuisance.
09:47.360 --> 09:51.390
If Lydia gets serious, Gerard is a dead man.
09:51.390 --> 09:53.740
But we can't afford to hold back, either.
09:53.740 --> 09:56.760
Halfhearted attacks will only strengthen him.
09:57.080 --> 09:58.320
In which case...
09:58.750 --> 10:01.700
Hey, you! Stop lounging around up there!
10:01.700 --> 10:03.260
Come down and fight!
10:05.430 --> 10:06.480
Rotten elf!
10:06.480 --> 10:10.150
We'll figure something out, so keep him busy!
10:10.590 --> 10:14.570
I'm a person of some importance,
I'll have you know.
10:27.220 --> 10:29.290
Kiddo, come here! Just you!
10:29.620 --> 10:32.000
Huh? B-By "kiddo," do you mean...?
10:32.350 --> 10:34.730
I have a name, and it's Ti—
10:33.670 --> 10:36.300
Stop whining and get over here!
10:36.300 --> 10:37.510
On the double!
10:37.510 --> 10:39.420
O-Okay...
10:42.120 --> 10:44.750
I'd prefer to leave Tina
out of this if possible.
10:44.750 --> 10:46.640
Too bad. It's the only way.
10:47.620 --> 10:50.860
You've linked mana with her, right?
10:51.330 --> 10:52.610
Sir?!
10:52.610 --> 10:54.790
He hasn't said anything.
10:54.790 --> 10:56.560
It's just obvious.
10:56.560 --> 10:58.470
He probably told you,
10:58.470 --> 11:00.290
but I've linked with him, too.
11:00.290 --> 11:03.320
That's how I got halfway
decent at spellcasting.
11:03.820 --> 11:05.600
Just like you.
11:05.600 --> 11:07.440
And that's why I'm asking you a favor.
11:07.440 --> 11:08.920
Me?
11:08.920 --> 11:12.900
Link mana with him and cast the
strongest ice spell you've got.
11:12.900 --> 11:14.370
Huh? But...
11:15.440 --> 11:18.130
Then you can leave the rest to us.
11:18.130 --> 11:19.510
Got that?
11:20.170 --> 11:21.700
Sir?
11:21.700 --> 11:23.720
I realize it can't be pleasant.
11:23.720 --> 11:25.600
Not at all! Go right ahead!
11:26.090 --> 11:27.190
Thank you.
11:37.350 --> 11:38.940
Do you feel all right?
11:39.310 --> 11:42.210
I can feel you close to me.
11:42.210 --> 11:44.320
You're so warm.
11:45.010 --> 11:46.990
I'll give it my best shot!
11:47.280 --> 11:49.020
I'll support you for all I'm worth.
11:49.020 --> 11:50.040
Yes, sir!
11:59.990 --> 12:02.420
If you're linked, hurry up and get ready!
12:02.420 --> 12:03.990
R-Right!
12:05.900 --> 12:07.800
I haven't got all day.
12:08.170 --> 12:09.610
Are you serious?
12:09.610 --> 12:11.150
Of course I am.
12:11.630 --> 12:13.600
I don't feel ready for—
12:19.060 --> 12:22.590
Hey! You didn't do anything
like that with me!
12:22.590 --> 12:23.650
It's unfair!
12:24.000 --> 12:26.230
I demand a do-over!
12:27.090 --> 12:29.990
If it bothers you that much,
try surpassing me.
12:30.760 --> 12:32.690
Not that I'll let you.
12:32.690 --> 12:34.160
Okay, both of you,
12:34.520 --> 12:36.140
focus on the problem at hand.
12:36.140 --> 12:36.890
Tina.
12:36.890 --> 12:37.720
Yes?
12:38.850 --> 12:40.340
Are you ready?
12:40.630 --> 12:43.510
Yes, sir! I feel like I can do anything!
12:44.400 --> 12:45.300
Lydia—
12:46.000 --> 12:48.040
Who do you think you're talking to?
12:48.040 --> 12:49.680
Get on with it.
12:58.020 --> 12:59.900
Headmaster! Now!
13:03.870 --> 13:05.700
Lydia!
13:05.700 --> 13:06.220
Tina!
13:06.220 --> 13:07.280
Yes, sir!
13:08.050 --> 13:10.320
Annihilate the imitation.
13:12.710 --> 13:14.340
The voice!
13:14.340 --> 13:15.810
What voice?
13:16.540 --> 13:17.810
Sir?
13:17.810 --> 13:20.220
Nothing. It's nothing.
13:20.220 --> 13:21.670
Now, brace yourself!
13:23.740 --> 13:24.760
My word!
13:25.740 --> 13:26.930
Well now.
13:50.800 --> 13:52.780
Howard!
13:53.250 --> 13:54.740
Tina! Now!
13:55.160 --> 13:55.830
Yes, sir!
13:56.380 --> 13:58.460
Allen!
14:11.220 --> 14:12.310
Lydia.
14:12.310 --> 14:13.530
Target?
14:13.530 --> 14:14.680
The dagger itself.
14:14.990 --> 14:16.030
Got it.
14:16.030 --> 14:18.390
I'll show you what the
Lady of the Sword can do!
14:20.530 --> 14:25.690
With you at my side, there's
nothing in the world I can't cut!
14:59.820 --> 15:01.160
What's that?!
15:01.160 --> 15:03.650
The Leinsters' secret art: the Scarlet Sword.
15:07.930 --> 15:09.840
An "imitation," is it?
15:10.360 --> 15:13.160
Lydia Leinster!
15:13.160 --> 15:15.830
Don't use my name so lightly!
15:15.830 --> 15:18.540
I'm his, and no one else's!
15:29.550 --> 15:31.840
This is... the end!
15:52.500 --> 15:56.660
You'll never master supreme magic!
15:56.660 --> 15:58.660
That was excellent work.
15:59.310 --> 16:00.580
All thanks to you, sir.
16:03.270 --> 16:04.290
Stella?!
16:05.540 --> 16:08.120
When do you plan on letting go of him?
16:08.120 --> 16:09.670
Oh! I mean...
16:10.110 --> 16:12.510
S-Sorry, sir.
16:14.510 --> 16:15.750
Sir?!
16:15.750 --> 16:16.510
Allen?
16:17.060 --> 16:18.140
Allen!
16:29.700 --> 16:32.150
So this is the price I pay
for linking with two people.
16:34.790 --> 16:36.410
Oh, morning.
16:36.820 --> 16:38.790
Did you know you'd end up like this?
16:39.630 --> 16:40.830
Well...
16:41.340 --> 16:42.730
Answer me.
16:42.730 --> 16:44.830
Yes, I knew.
16:46.690 --> 16:49.450
If I'd known it would endanger you,
16:49.450 --> 16:51.560
I'd have put that brainless prince out of his...
16:56.740 --> 16:59.350
You shouldn't think things like that.
17:00.660 --> 17:02.410
It's beating.
17:02.900 --> 17:04.480
I can hear it.
17:04.930 --> 17:06.070
That's right.
17:06.570 --> 17:07.810
I'm alive.
17:08.220 --> 17:09.940
You think you can worm out of this?
17:09.940 --> 17:13.400
I'm not trying to. That was our best option.
17:14.170 --> 17:15.370
Liar.
17:16.070 --> 17:19.360
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
17:20.020 --> 17:21.980
I'm fine being your sword. Yours, Allen.
17:22.410 --> 17:25.620
I'd rather you be the nice girl
who plays along with my banter
17:25.620 --> 17:29.130
and grew her hair out for me.
17:29.470 --> 17:33.110
H-Hey! You read my mind earlier, didn't you?!
17:33.110 --> 17:34.510
Unbelievable!
17:34.510 --> 17:37.810
I couldn't help it. We linked mana, remember?
17:37.810 --> 17:39.470
It just flowed into me.
17:39.470 --> 17:40.990
No excuses!
17:40.990 --> 17:42.220
Cad! Lout!
17:42.810 --> 17:47.890
Who are you to talk
when you k-kissed the kiddo?!
17:47.890 --> 17:49.270
Th-That was...
17:49.270 --> 17:51.650
Well... She caught me off guard.
17:51.650 --> 17:54.220
And why didn't you even try to dodge?
17:54.220 --> 17:55.070
I mean...
17:55.670 --> 17:58.100
Hey, what are they saying?
17:58.100 --> 18:00.080
I can't hear a thing.
18:00.080 --> 18:02.700
Keep your voices down.
18:03.250 --> 18:05.120
What are you girls up to?
18:08.820 --> 18:10.290
Listen, you lot...
18:10.760 --> 18:14.120
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle anyone.
18:14.120 --> 18:16.710
Hi there, Allen. I see you're awake.
18:16.990 --> 18:20.640
Thanks to Leinster hospitality.
What did I miss?
18:21.400 --> 18:23.250
Gerard's under arrest.
18:24.260 --> 18:26.820
His punishment's still up in the air, though.
18:26.820 --> 18:28.160
What about Caren and her friend?
18:28.160 --> 18:31.380
Caren said you'd better come
see her once you're well.
18:32.720 --> 18:34.140
Message received.
18:35.170 --> 18:40.660
Prince Blockhead is one of yours. What do
you have to say about the mess he caused?
18:40.660 --> 18:44.740
I... I admit we didn't keep as close
an eye on him as we should have!
18:44.740 --> 18:48.960
But whatever was in that
dagger changed Gerard into—
18:52.120 --> 18:54.470
My, my. It's certainly lively in here.
18:54.470 --> 18:55.960
Mother!
18:56.880 --> 18:58.720
Well done, Allen.
18:58.720 --> 19:00.290
How do you feel?
19:00.290 --> 19:02.090
Well, thanks to your hospitality.
19:02.770 --> 19:07.040
I realize now I should have waited for more
help to arrive. The professor, for one.
19:07.680 --> 19:08.520
Lisa.
19:09.020 --> 19:10.690
Yes, Allen?
19:11.460 --> 19:15.610
I bear responsibility in this matter
for drawing Gerard's enmity.
19:16.250 --> 19:19.220
I'm not qualified to
continue as Lynne's tutor.
19:19.220 --> 19:23.650
Lynne, do you want Allen
to continue tutoring you?
19:23.650 --> 19:24.420
Huh?
19:25.670 --> 19:26.870
Answer promptly.
19:28.150 --> 19:29.790
I'd like him to continue!
19:30.430 --> 19:32.180
You heard her, Allen.
19:32.180 --> 19:34.010
As I've told you before,
19:34.010 --> 19:36.090
the Leinsters are on your side.
19:36.690 --> 19:41.010
Your parents trust us to
look out for you, remember.
19:42.530 --> 19:44.180
Thank you very much.
20:05.860 --> 20:07.360
Sir...
20:07.360 --> 20:09.660
What brings you here at this hour?
20:10.130 --> 20:11.950
Just a stroll.
20:12.510 --> 20:15.140
The Leinsters have such pretty gardens.
20:15.140 --> 20:17.340
The plants seem happy here.
20:17.740 --> 20:19.860
I like it in daylight as well,
20:19.860 --> 20:22.070
but it does have a certain
atmosphere at night.
20:22.630 --> 20:23.760
Sir...
20:24.850 --> 20:30.430
Today, I saw clearly that I'm
nowhere near good enough.
20:30.930 --> 20:32.600
That's not true at all.
20:32.600 --> 20:35.360
Your magic is steadily improving.
20:35.360 --> 20:36.220
You can be proud of—
20:36.220 --> 20:38.400
That's not what I mean!
20:38.880 --> 20:41.570
I mean... I mean... I mean...
20:41.570 --> 20:45.400
I'm not fit to stand beside you
the way I am now!
20:45.400 --> 20:48.070
The only person who can...
20:51.510 --> 20:53.470
is Lydia.
20:53.470 --> 20:57.790
I—we—are just following
where you lead us.
20:58.660 --> 21:02.550
When something goes wrong, only one
person gets to stand beside you,
21:03.190 --> 21:05.450
and that's Lydia, right?
21:05.990 --> 21:06.960
Tina...
21:08.470 --> 21:11.680
Don't put yourself down like that.
21:11.680 --> 21:14.630
Lydia is the Lady of the Sword,
the pride of the kingdom.
21:14.630 --> 21:18.420
And she hasn't always been what she is now.
21:18.420 --> 21:21.150
Just keep growing and improving,
one step at a time.
21:22.080 --> 21:26.950
I may still be a child in your eyes, sir,
21:26.950 --> 21:30.810
but I won't stay a little girl forever.
21:32.190 --> 21:33.340
Sir!
21:34.120 --> 21:36.790
I will earn a place at your side!
21:36.790 --> 21:42.710
I swear it on my late mother, Rosa Howard,
and the rod and ribbon she left me!
21:44.020 --> 21:48.740
So... So please, watch me do it.
21:48.740 --> 21:52.060
Please keep helping me along!
21:52.510 --> 21:55.930
I will. And I'm looking forward to the
day you make good on that promise.
21:58.100 --> 22:00.770
Now, I think it's time we headed back.
22:01.420 --> 22:03.320
You'll catch a chill.
22:04.010 --> 22:05.830
Let's do what we can,
tomorrow and every day after.
22:06.680 --> 22:08.780
Yes, sir!
