What's that supposed to mean? 04:50.490 --> 04:53.320 She's supposed to be the villainess! 04:53.320 --> 04:56.840 It's only because she went and changed the scenario to begin with! 04:57.170 --> 04:58.520 That's true. 04:58.520 --> 05:02.700 The Miss Bertia that the light spirit showed me was indeed a different person. 05:02.700 --> 05:07.340 Right? That is her true nature. 05:07.340 --> 05:08.670 So, you see, she's deceiving— 05:07.570 --> 05:12.850 And I know of one other individual who has changed completely. 05:12.850 --> 05:16.960 What?!

I won't have it! 06:31.520 --> 06:34.340 I will never accept a future like this! 06:36.430 --> 06:39.860 That's right. Where did Pii-chan go? 06:39.860 --> 06:44.620 If he's with me, then everyone will understand that I'm special. 06:44.920 --> 06:49.130 If you're speaking of your pet bird, he no longer exists in this world. 06:50.560 --> 06:51.510 What? 06:51.990 --> 06:54.830 That life has been extinguished. 06:54.830 --> 06:57.990 It happened back then, when he tried to protect you in your recklessness. 06:58.630 --> 06:59.700 Pii-chan? 07:02.070 --> 07:04.830 This is the result of everything you've done, 07:04.830 --> 07:07.320 and the future the two of you chose. 07:09.060 --> 07:11.110 Y-You're lying. 07:11.780 --> 07:13.140 Pii-chan? 07:13.140 --> 07:14.270 Pii-chan! 07:14.270 --> 07:16.470 Pii-chan?

Even if no one else believed what I said, 07:25.110 --> 07:30.020 Pii-chan was the only one... who was always by my side. 07:30.720 --> 07:32.960 This is the first time she's shown me this side of her. 07:33.640 --> 07:35.890 Though the shape of it may have been warped, 07:36.390 --> 07:40.390 there truly was a bond between her and him. 07:41.440 --> 07:43.850 This is where this conversation ends, 07:43.850 --> 07:46.870 but to finish things off, I've been asked to deliver a message to you. 07:47.380 --> 07:51.840 "Even if you can't see me, I will always be with you." 07:52.150 --> 07:55.000 That's what he asked me to tell you. 08:05.560 --> 08:07.790 This is a memento of him. 08:07.790 --> 08:10.070 It's a fragment of his soul. 08:10.710 --> 08:12.380 I'll leave it with you. 08:13.150 --> 08:15.750 Just as his core was about to crumble away, 08:15.750 --> 08:18.500 I borrowed Zeno's power to retain this piece. 08:19.160 --> 08:22.300 It's faint, but a trace of his will remains inside. 08:23.560 --> 08:26.690 Well then, we'll leave the rest for the audience hall. 08:27.300 --> 08:28.580 Pii-chan... 08:30.280 --> 08:33.690 After that, as part of her punishment, 08:33.690 --> 08:36.400 it was decided that she would be sent to a convent. 08:36.800 --> 08:39.770 Father, I have one request. 08:39.770 --> 08:44.920 Please allow me to decide which convent Heronia will go to. 08:46.290 --> 08:51.310 Do you really distrust me so much that you must look at me that way, Father? 08:52.570 --> 08:54.120 Do as you like. 08:54.120 --> 08:55.550 Thank you. 08:57.980 --> 09:00.980 We've brought Heronia here. 09:02.160 --> 09:06.090 Now, you will be told what punishment has been decided for you. 09:06.090 --> 09:06.980 Cecil. 09:06.980 --> 09:07.820 Yes. 09:08.620 --> 09:11.440 The baron's house will cut all ties with you, 09:11.440 --> 09:14.470 and you will be sent to a convent as a commoner. 09:14.740 --> 09:18.050 We are content with that as well. 09:18.710 --> 09:22.210 Now then, I will give you a choice. 09:22.640 --> 09:23.980 Lift your head. 09:24.400 --> 09:27.070 You should listen very carefully to my words. 09:29.800 --> 09:34.380 A convent in the harsh environment of the northernmost point of our kingdom, 09:34.380 --> 09:38.920 or a convent in a temperate area three days carriage ride south of the capital? 09:39.400 --> 09:41.360 Where would you like to go? 09:41.760 --> 09:44.570 The choices seem quite unbalanced. 09:44.880 --> 09:48.470 Due to the harsh conditions at the northern convent, 09:48.470 --> 09:51.580 I've heard that, while rare, some have lost their lives. 09:51.580 --> 09:53.050 Really? 09:53.050 --> 09:56.810 On the other hand, I've heard that the north believes in the Divine Light, 09:56.810 --> 09:59.040 and that its power is strong there. 09:59.040 --> 10:04.400 If someone prays consistently, that which they have lost may regain its life. 10:04.400 --> 10:07.810 That's the kind of miracle they say might occur there. 10:08.300 --> 10:12.590 The light spirit gave his life for you. 10:13.080 --> 10:17.250 And you? How far will you go for him? 10:18.170 --> 10:23.030 North or south?

You're not special. 11:02.280 --> 11:05.350 Just a young lady named Heronia. 11:18.840 --> 11:21.660 If you are abandoning your role as heroine 11:21.660 --> 11:26.190 and living as a woman, alone, for your friend's sake, 11:26.190 --> 11:28.440 then I will welcome your decision. 11:29.190 --> 11:34.040 I'm certain that Tia wouldn't want you to be unhappy. 11:37.440 --> 11:42.780 And so she has left on a journey to a convent in the northern reaches. 11:42.780 --> 11:45.070 That's the heroine for you! 11:45.070 --> 11:49.470 To think that she'd go to offer prayers for a wounded spirit! 11:50.300 --> 11:55.680 Well, I did omit the troublesome bits and say it in a manner that Tia would like, 11:55.680 --> 11:57.430 but I haven't told her any lies. 11:57.430 --> 12:00.600 That decision truly required so much courage! 12:00.600 --> 12:02.740 What a beautiful self-sacrifice! 12:02.740 --> 12:05.430 The heroine really is different from the rest of us! 12:05.430 --> 12:09.850 I have you captive like this, and she's all you're thinking about. 12:09.850 --> 12:12.630 Perhaps I should make a slightly more serious effort. 12:12.630 --> 12:14.440 S-Serious effort? 12:15.800 --> 12:19.920 I've already sent everyone away, and everyone already thinks that we're— 12:20.620 --> 12:22.940 Your Highness, what are you saying?! 12:24.550 --> 12:29.530 Yes, as usual, even if I dismiss everyone, I am unable to send the spirits away. 12:29.530 --> 12:31.360 It was merely a joke. 12:31.360 --> 12:34.830 That sort of thing is a pleasure I will reserve until after we're married. 12:34.830 --> 12:35.950 Oh. 12:35.950 --> 12:36.970 What?! 12:36.970 --> 12:39.910 And to be in that position, stacked like a turtle with its offspring... 12:39.910 --> 12:42.210 H-How are you able to sweet talk like that? 12:42.510 --> 12:43.490 Zeno. 12:43.490 --> 12:45.490 Will you be a horse for me over there? 12:45.490 --> 12:46.080 What? 12:46.080 --> 12:47.590 A horse, I said.

I'm looking forward to it, so I don't mind. 15:07.420 --> 15:08.690 Is that so? 15:10.370 --> 15:15.910 It may be odd to ask after so long, but Cecil, do you enjoy being with Bertia? 15:16.690 --> 15:18.590 Do you think you'll be able to find happiness? 15:19.900 --> 15:21.940 Yes, of course! 15:21.940 --> 15:27.070 There is no other woman who could delight me or make me as happy as she does. 15:27.490 --> 15:29.850 If there were one thing I might take issue with, 15:29.850 --> 15:34.620 it's that I might accidentally destroy a nation because she is so dear to me. 15:37.270 --> 15:39.820 Is that so? I see! 15:41.020 --> 15:45.200 Father, may I ask a question as well? 15:45.200 --> 15:48.030 That's why you came here, isn't it? What is it? 15:48.030 --> 15:51.560 I asked you before about the Maiden of Destiny. 15:51.560 --> 15:53.770 Has anything occurred to you since then? 15:54.300 --> 15:56.480 No, I know nothing about it. 15:57.090 --> 16:01.370 Then, what do you know of people like me? 16:02.190 --> 16:04.910 There's something you're keeping secret, isn't there? 16:09.660 --> 16:11.630 Where did you learn about it? 16:11.630 --> 16:16.260 It was merely speculation based on information I've gathered, 16:16.740 --> 16:19.480 but that reaction just now has convinced me. 16:19.480 --> 16:22.370 Honestly, you're just so... 16:22.370 --> 16:23.890 You'll tell me now, won't you? 16:25.180 --> 16:28.020 It's likely just as you suspected. 16:28.410 --> 16:30.480 In the royal family, people like you, 16:30.480 --> 16:33.640 children with exceptional abilities are born from time to time. 16:34.260 --> 16:40.140 In exchange for their advanced abilities, they show a lack of emotions 16:40.140 --> 16:43.480 and show so little interest in anything that one might say they show none at all. 16:44.090 --> 16:45.520 As such, they're in constant pursuit 16:45.520 --> 16:47.720 of something that can evoke their emotions, 16:47.720 --> 16:51.270 and when they do find something, they cling desperately to it. 16:51.670 --> 16:54.960 And it's said that it's the influence of the blood 16:54.960 --> 16:58.180 of our kingdom's founder, King Toujin. 16:58.440 --> 17:00.130 Do you mean the Hero King? 17:00.130 --> 17:02.480 That name was given to him later. 17:02.480 --> 17:04.480 King Toujin was simply... 17:04.480 --> 17:07.180 someone who loved battle. 17:07.670 --> 17:10.560 I see. He was bloodthirsty. 17:10.910 --> 17:14.980 But then people started calling him the Hero King. 17:14.980 --> 17:19.830 The woman who became his wife was heavily involved in that. 17:20.700 --> 17:23.570 King Toujin and Queen Annei. 17:23.570 --> 17:26.990 In order to maintain friendly relations between their tribes, 17:26.990 --> 17:29.790 the two of them were brought together and betrothed. 17:30.340 --> 17:32.670 From a young age, King Toujin was brilliant 17:32.670 --> 17:36.100 but he showed little interest in anything. 17:36.100 --> 17:39.820 However, Queen Annei would come to him with challenges, 17:39.820 --> 17:41.420 and he would often play with her. 17:41.790 --> 17:44.800 Say, this time, why don't we have a footrace? 17:45.270 --> 17:48.180 I don't want to. No one can beat me anyway. 17:48.180 --> 17:49.790 Oh yeah? 17:50.270 --> 17:54.330 Whoever touches that tree first wins! 17:56.570 --> 17:58.260 I suppose I have no choice. 18:00.320 --> 18:05.290 The thing he found a profound interest in was a battle game. 18:05.700 --> 18:07.960 He became deeply absorbed in the game, 18:08.550 --> 18:11.820 and just when playing on a board started to leave him feeling unsatisfied, 18:12.260 --> 18:14.820 war broke out between the tribes. 18:15.740 --> 18:19.090 King Toujin had grown into a young man. 18:19.090 --> 18:21.530 He led troops into battle, 18:21.530 --> 18:24.530 and before long, he had brought many tribes under him. 18:25.810 --> 18:32.250 King Toujin sought even more battles, but one woman stood in his way. 18:33.170 --> 18:38.230 If you decide to take lives needlessly, then I will come to hate you. 18:38.760 --> 18:41.990 Those words struck King Toujin with such a deep sense of unease 18:41.990 --> 18:45.320 that it's said that he immediately ceased going into battle. 18:49.090 --> 18:51.670 She was truly his Maiden of Destiny. 18:51.670 --> 18:54.080 You're right. I can't say that she wasn't. 18:54.360 --> 18:58.340 Fortunately, battle wasn't the only thing that held his attention. 18:58.710 --> 19:02.090 He was also invested in Queen Annei. 19:02.370 --> 19:04.450 That served to restrain him. 19:04.450 --> 19:07.640 He devoted himself to building a peaceful kingdom, 19:07.640 --> 19:10.100 and came to be called the Hero King. 19:10.580 --> 19:13.590 If Tia were to say something like that to me, 19:13.590 --> 19:16.440 I think I would likely do as she told me to, too. 19:17.320 --> 19:19.990 After that, once every few hundred years or so, 19:20.400 --> 19:22.310 someone like King Toujin, 19:22.310 --> 19:25.980 possessing exceptional abilities, has been born into the royal family. 19:25.980 --> 19:29.490 Without exception, each has held the potential for evil in their hearts. 19:29.490 --> 19:32.580 They were truly double-edged swords. 19:32.580 --> 19:35.760 If their interests were turned to good, they became wise kings, 19:36.110 --> 19:39.250 but if used in harmful ways, they became foolish kings, 19:39.560 --> 19:41.750 or they disappeared before that could happen. 19:44.290 --> 19:47.680 So, the author of the books I found in the hidden library 19:47.680 --> 19:50.400 was one of those members of the royal family, then. 19:51.170 --> 19:54.710 There, I found knowledge that was not out in the world, 19:54.710 --> 19:59.440 knowledge that should not be out in the world, filing mountains of books. 20:01.350 --> 20:03.780 Soon after you were born, 20:03.780 --> 20:08.160 it was clear that you'd understood words far sooner than other babies. 20:08.650 --> 20:10.920 My mind went blank. 20:11.380 --> 20:13.910 Even though I knew the possibility existed, 20:14.250 --> 20:18.070 I never thought that my own child would be one of them. 20:18.660 --> 20:21.190 You must have been very disappointed. 20:21.190 --> 20:23.490 Why would I be disappointed? 20:23.490 --> 20:27.750 Wouldn't the royal family want an intelligent heir? 20:29.110 --> 20:31.230 I was just worried. 20:31.230 --> 20:36.230 Because I wanted my child to feel all sorts of things and find happiness. 20:36.670 --> 20:39.140 And that's why I took a gamble. 20:39.140 --> 20:41.070 That would be Bertia, wouldn't it? 20:41.300 --> 20:44.780 Yes. She has a scatterbrained side to her, 20:44.780 --> 20:47.770 but she's emotionally expressive, compassionate, and kind. 20:47.770 --> 20:50.400 In a way, she is your exact opposite. 20:50.400 --> 20:52.640 I thought that if you were with her, 20:52.640 --> 20:55.340 then maybe something would grow within you, too. 20:55.560 --> 20:58.310 It seems your thoughts were correct. 20:58.310 --> 21:02.280 Ever since you met her, you've seemed like you're enjoying yourself, 21:02.280 --> 21:04.340 so I've been quite relieved. 21:04.600 --> 21:10.580 Oh, yes. Do you remember the first time you asked me for a birthday present? 21:10.580 --> 21:13.300 Yes, I asked for luona leaf seedlings, didn't I? 21:13.540 --> 21:17.280 Back then, the queen and I shared a celebratory toast, you know? 21:17.520 --> 21:21.880 I seem to have caused you a lot of worry without ever realizing it. 21:21.880 --> 21:25.030 It's nothing. That's the fate of a parent. 21:25.030 --> 21:28.370 You'll just have to show your devotion to your parents to make up for it. 21:28.590 --> 21:31.980 Are you saying that you'll be pushing more of your official duties onto me? 21:31.980 --> 21:35.370 That's the privilege of being a parent with a brilliant child, I'd say. 21:35.670 --> 21:39.370 For the time being, as long as Tia is at my side, I will do my best. 21:39.370 --> 21:43.500 Which means that she holds the fate of this kingdom in her hands. 21:47.010 --> 21:51.010 Translator: Elanor Sakamoto Timer: Edgar Cruz Editor: Salem Alabanza Quality Control: Alicia Ashby Final Quality Control Michelle Tymon 21:53.040 --> 21:55.870 If I told her about the blood the royal family carries, 21:55.870 --> 22:01.140 I'm certain I'd be able to bind her to me for the rest of our lives. 22:01.540 --> 22:06.520 But what I want isn't a marionette that will do whatever I say. 22:06.520 --> 22:07.570 Ta-dah! 22:07.570 --> 22:10.130 It's the person that runs wild in ways I can't predict, 22:10.130 --> 22:12.540 the woman who's like a surprising jack-in-the box that I love. 22:13.010 --> 22:14.020 More than anything else, 22:14.410 --> 22:18.930 I want to be a version of me that she would choose of her own free will. 22:20.640 --> 22:21.850 I'm coming in. 22:22.770 --> 22:24.050 Oh, dear. 22:24.050 --> 22:26.290 I just knew things would turn out this way. 22:26.680 --> 22:30.370 Honestly. To get so drunk that you pass out in front of your child... 22:30.690 --> 22:33.250 Perhaps he felt a great weight had been lifted from him. 22:35.210 --> 22:36.820 You knew, didn't you? 22:36.820 --> 22:37.560 Yes. 22:41.030 --> 22:43.890 You are our son, and we're proud of you. 22:44.540 --> 22:46.630 We'll still be watching over you. 22:47.390 --> 22:52.650 However, if you make darling little Bertia cry, I will never forgive you. 22:52.650 --> 22:54.650 I will keep that firmly in mind. 22:54.990 --> 22:57.660 Well, then, I'll take this man away. 22:57.660 --> 23:00.290 Cecil, you should stop at an appropriate time as well. 23:00.720 --> 23:01.590 I will. 23:03.870 --> 23:08.060 Darling, please walk on your own, won't you? 23:08.060 --> 23:09.910 I will. 23:10.700 --> 23:14.790 Thank you, Father, Mother. 23:19.180 --> 23:20.310 2 Years Later 23:20.940 --> 23:22.230 Noches House 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 Things I want to do at my wedding, top 100 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 I want everyone to celebrate us with a shower of flowers! 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 After the ceremony, I want to be carried away like a princess! 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 Sir Cecil and I 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 the cake 23:22.230 --> 23:25.480 Both families 23:30.380 --> 23:34.200 A wedding?
