00:01It's been a month since Elysia secluded herself in a shed to study magic.
00:11Oh, good morning, Jill!
00:13Morning.
00:14So that's for her?
00:15It is. But this is as close as I can bring it, you know.
00:19She won't let anyone near. She even put up a wall with her magic.
00:31She must be struggling to get by on her own, and yet... it's really sort of sad.
00:37It is. But getting all sentimental... won't help her.
00:43Oh, good morning, Jill.
00:49Morning.
00:53Weren't you told that you could eat what the young lady typically does? Not much food there.
00:58I want to get to the library quickly. But man, if servants get to eat fancy meals like this, you're living the good life.
01:06You think so?
01:08It's fried potatoes.
01:10Well, you see, I grew up poor.
01:14Here, have some bacon.
01:16And my apple.
01:17Thanks.
01:19I'm the most fortunate villager to have ever come out of Ruana.
01:23We didn't have potatoes anywhere near this big there.
01:26It's of the utmost importance that I live up to Elysia's expectations of me.
01:30No one's going to put me down. Or tell me I can't do something because I'm a commoner.
01:43And I think we are more of the greatest impact of your family.
01:46So for now, let's take over the next year, I'm the youngest and the youngest.
01:48And I think we are the youngest and the youngest and the youngest is the youngest and the youngest.
01:53You
02:13That you Jill
02:17Yes, sir, I have something to give you so I'm glad you're here
02:23This potion, Avel
02:25Don't you need it to get through the magic barrier and back to Roana?
02:29Oh, I get it now
02:32Why even bother with this?
02:34You could just pick me up and toss me out
02:36I mean it is your mansion
02:38You misunderstand
02:40Up to this point I had been giving them to Alicia
02:43But from now on whenever you want to use one you need only ask
02:47Huh? You're not telling me to leave?
02:49Why then?
02:51Did you know that I'm Alicia's father?
02:55So I'm rather grateful to you
02:57Her whole life all I have wished is for her to be happy
03:00But I'm not sure I can ever truly understand her
03:03Or that I will always be in a position to take her side
03:06Even when Alicia was very young I'd see all the other little girls playing together
03:12But not her, she'd be in the library throwing herself at her studies as if her life depended on it
03:18I've never known her to care much about friendship with anyone until she started talking about you one day
03:24I hope you and she will remain good friends for a long time
03:28You sound like a regular dad
03:30Well that's good since I am one
03:33I thought you were a cruel man for locking her in the shed
03:36I still don't understand why you did that
03:38My wife said the same thing
03:40You'd better explain yourself
03:42What's going on here?
03:44Well you see Layla
03:46I understand taking her out of school for a while
03:48But what purpose does using magic to lock her up serve?
03:51Why aren't you letting her out until she reaches level 90?
03:54That's crossing the line into child abuse
03:57And you call yourself a good father
04:00I'm disappointed in you Arnold
04:02Now wait a second
04:04Hear me out
04:05I can explain
04:06I had no idea she would ever take her studies this far
04:10Are you really telling me she decided to go into the shed?
04:15Well I set the level 90 condition
04:17But only because I wanted her to give up on being the Saints' Watcher
04:21So I gave her an extremely difficult task on purpose
04:24For some reason that just made her even more motivated
04:28Your plan backfired on you, huh?
04:30The only goal I had was to no longer allow her to be a Watcher if she failed
04:35I was going to let her return to the Academy when the time was right
04:39She always manages to pull it off
04:41If she says she can do it, she can
04:43Maybe you should have a little more faith and try to trust her with this
04:47Alicia is stronger than you think
04:49I don't want her to get involved with Liz Cather
04:53Being on the wrong side of a conflict with Liz put my daughter in danger
04:57And Albert has changed so much since meeting Liz
05:00That I'm questioning whether I still want him to succeed me
05:04After that incident, the King himself paid me a visit to apologize
05:08And granted me his blessing to relieve Alicia of her duty as Liz's Watcher
05:12But to be honest, he probably wants her to continue doing it
05:16Because Liz is the saint?
05:19I'm still trying to understand that
05:20You all believe she's going to save this kingdom?
05:23I suppose that's rather difficult to answer
05:25And who's to say what she can do?
05:27But it's certainly true she's worth something to us
05:31Liz's extraordinary magical talents could prove useful in countless ways
05:35Once she graduates, she's destined to be lauded as a saint
05:39And I've no doubt she will be put to work for the kingdom right away
05:42The same goes for Alicia
05:44Anyone who possesses exceptional talents is exploited by the kingdom
05:49If she were but a powerless little girl, perhaps I could have protected her as a father
05:54But as the head of one of the five great noble families, I'm just one of the many who will end up using her
06:01That's what I mean when I say I might not always be able to take her side
06:05Will you hold me in contempt for that?
06:07No way
06:08Alicia isn't some pitiful child who'd get taken advantage of
06:12If anything, she thinks you people are weak
06:15She's been saying the magical supremacy in this kingdom is completely inefficient
06:21They would discuss using a little girl for the benefit of the kingdom
06:25But experienced people who lack magic aren't even considered?
06:31She's smart
06:32Her intention is to train me up into someone she can use
06:35You know why?
06:36Because I'll always be on her side no matter what
06:39Is that so?
06:41I think I'm beginning to understand why she trusts you so much, young man
06:46Wow! We dug up so many of them!
06:50So can we eat enough to fill our bellies every day now?
06:53I don't think it's quite enough to fill you up forever
06:56That's fine
06:58This is still a huge harvest
07:00We should have a feast
07:02Oh yeah!
07:03I never dreamed we'd be able to grow food like this in Rwana
07:06I can't wait to show Alicia how much we've done
07:10Nobles sure know what they're talking about though
07:13She even knew which varieties would do best here
07:16We grew them just like she told us we should
07:19And we harvested way more than expected
07:21True
07:22The daughter of a nobleman shouldn't know anything at all about raising crops
07:27She must have taken it upon herself to study it
07:30Stop! Thief!
07:32It's your fault for showing off all this food
07:34Wait! Come back here!
07:36Try and catch me if you think you can't
07:38Thanks Nate! That's our food!
07:45You know, you shouldn't be charging at people with that leg
07:49Sorry! Guess I acted without thinking
07:52When you grow crops in a big field like this, of course you're gonna be a target
07:56Yeah, fair point
07:59We're like a big happy family now
08:01But there are still quite a few people in the village who aren't on board yet
08:04I'd be remiss if I didn't say how much of a blessing it would be if you would join up with us
08:09And your friends as well! They're strong guys, right?
08:12Hold up a sec
08:13Be completely honest with me
08:15Do you really believe that noble girl will set this village free?
08:19It's merely nothing but a passing whim for her
08:22She just wants to make herself feel good by doing charity work
08:25It's been forever since she's been back here
08:28She probably got bored
08:30And yet you and Grandpa will take her seriously
08:34Seems pretty naive
08:36It's painful to see
08:37Alicia isn't anything like that
08:41But even if she was, it'd be fine by me
08:44Think about it
08:46Alicia taught us how to grow crops on our very own land
08:49If it was just about charity, it would have been easier for her to buy food and give it to us
08:53But instead, what she gave us is the knowledge of what crops can flourish where there's not a lot of sun
08:58And how to raise them with the number of resources we have here in Rowana
09:02Now we know how to take care of ourselves
09:04And we have the chance to live much better lives right where we are
09:08That knowledge alone is worth more than anything else
09:11Ultimately, we are the only ones who will decide if we keep moving forward and making progress
09:17Alicia helped us find hope again
09:19I'd hate for that to fade away
09:26You've been getting involved with Rowana, haven't you?
09:30You're not in trouble
09:32It was in Alicia's written proposal
09:35Hmm?
09:36Liz's essay proved inspiring
09:38I've never seen such a reaction
09:40People sympathize with Rowana
09:42But this issue cannot be resolved with sentimentality
09:45Alicia has compiled various concerns and proposed plans in a way that builds upon Liz's ridiculously lofty ideas
09:52Duke
09:54Have you any interest in undertaking an official reformation of Rowana?
09:58The village has been used to lock up innocent people
10:02And isolate them using magic on a large scale
10:06As Liz has stated, it has become a humanitarian issue
10:10As Alicia has deftly pointed out
10:12It's a waste of land and mana sources
10:14It's an issue we knew we'd have to deal with eventually
10:18But the need was not simply pressing enough
10:20Especially with a multitude of other problems awaiting government action at any given time
10:24Thus, it has been put off by generation after generation of kings
10:28I'm no exception myself
10:32You've always been such a brilliant young prince
10:36More so than I ever was
10:38You are by far the better choice for this
10:40Of course, if my brother were here
10:43Perhaps you should consider taking some time off
10:47Rowana is indeed a matter of concern
10:49But a king with too much on his plate is also an issue in need of remedy
10:53The range of affairs
10:55Down to the smallest minutiae
10:57That demand a king's attention is far too broad
10:59Making each decision takes precious time
11:01And that in turn slows the entire kingdom's progress
11:05Perhaps you should start trusting what the people that actually live there have to say
11:09So you think so as well?
11:11As well?
11:13No, you're right
11:15The truth hurts
11:17Change is never easy
11:19I'm certainly aware that you're currently too busy to deal with the reformation of Rowana
11:23But I'd be willing to tackle the issue
11:25If I may
11:27Yes, please do so
11:29It's hard to imagine she could come up with restorative spells at such a young age
11:33Allowing her to vanish from center stage now would be such a complete waste of her talent
11:39Oh hello there
11:41I'm your sweet little savior
11:43Do let me know if there's anything
11:45It's not macarons?
11:47Well then what is it?
11:49Oh, macarons
11:51It's now been six months since Alicia went into seclusion
11:55It's now been six months since Alicia went into seclusion
11:57Alicia's magic practice must be really intense, huh?
12:07She's still the one with the most talent out of all of us siblings
12:11I don't see why she's being pushed farther
12:13You know that reminds me of something she once told me
12:17Your follow through is impressive
12:21If you want to increase your magic level start by getting into tip-top shape
12:25Muscles are the building blocks of everything
12:27Tell me
12:29Do you train this hard to catch up to her?
12:31I'll never catch up to Liz
12:33No matter how hard I try
12:35Not ever
12:37It's impossible
12:39I don't get it
12:41Then what's the point of training like this every day?
12:43Hard work is never rewarded
12:45But still
12:47I want to get as close to Liz's level as I can
12:49I can't act better than her if I don't
12:53The reason she works so hard is to gain the confidence to face Liz Cather
12:58She'd go that far just to compete with her?
13:01We're talking about an actual prodigy here
13:04She can easily cast spells over and over that are difficult enough to cast even once
13:09No one can compete with someone like that
13:12They wouldn't even stand a chance at all
13:17Only those who aren't bound by being normal are able to change the status quo
13:22Honestly, I also thought she was wasting her time writing about that proposal about the state of Rowana
13:29And yet perhaps
13:32Exactly
13:33That's why I have to work harder too
13:35So that I can stand there by her side
13:38Henry
13:47Hmm?
13:49Alicia's not here yet
13:51Is that so?
13:52I feel terrible for Prince Duke
13:55He hates Alicia Williams so much
13:57He's worried that she might come to the Academy and ruin his good time with her antics
14:02That girl should just quit school already
14:04They don't know anything about what Alicia is like
14:09But they won't stop running their mouths
14:11Hmm
14:12Sorry
14:13Should I have kept that to myself?
14:15Oh, no
14:16In fact, I'm glad you turned to Clare at them when you did
14:19If they kept on going
14:21Those jerks would have been expelled by the end of the day
14:24Huh?
14:25Really?
14:26Hey, come on
14:27Don't say such ominous things
14:29Mm-hmm
14:30Be mindful of others
14:31That's how I aim to be at school
14:33If you want to complain
14:35Take it up with the idiots spouting nonsense
14:37Still though, I do feel bad
14:39They're such vindictive rumors
14:41And I have no clue who started spreading them
14:44That is the nature of rumors, isn't it?
14:46Yeah, well
14:48No matter what I say to clear up her reputation
14:50No one believes me anyway
14:52People just tell me I can't be objective because she's my little sister
14:55No one wants my opinion, so I'm not helping anything
14:58Hmm
14:59They assume you're acting on favoritism and prejudice
15:02Such rumors
15:03That poor Allie's a loose young woman
15:06Who called on Duke at an inappropriately late hour
15:09Ooh, was that out loud?
15:11If I'd imagined this
15:13I most assuredly would have come up with an unshakable fait accompli
15:16Huh?
15:17There you are
15:19You look like there's something upsetting you
15:22Well, when you look so somber
15:24It makes me think you need some delicious tea and pastries for a quick pick-me-up
15:28Did Liz actually bake a cake?
15:31Liz's cakes are the best!
15:33People always cheer up after they have a piece
15:36Prince Duke and Miss Liz really do look lovely next to each other, don't they?
15:42With Miss Liz around
15:44Even Prince Duke will be sure to forget all about that annoying Alicia Williams
15:49Hmm
15:50Please try it
15:51I poured my heart into baking this cake for you
15:53In the hopes that it might be able to make you smile
15:56If it succeeds, I'll be so happy
15:58I apologize, but I'm not in the mood right now
16:01Huh?
16:03But Duke
16:06Dear girl, don't you worry yourself over it
16:09He just doesn't happen to be in the mood for sweets at the moment
16:12Oh, is that all?
16:13Not quite
16:14He's been acting on edge lately
16:17And all because of my stupid little sister
16:20Apologies
16:21No, no
16:22You don't have anything to be sorry for
16:25I'll simply try harder
16:27I'm sure that I can bring Duke's smile back
16:30It's my purpose
16:32There's no doubt if you say so
16:35Yeah!
16:36So is it really Alicia Williams fault that nothing has changed romantically between Miss Liz and Prince Duke?
16:43I do believe so
16:45That girl's absolutely maddening
16:54Interesting, is it not?
17:00When you say interesting
17:02You mean the nasty rumors going around about Alicia, right?
17:05Hmm
17:06You know what I don't understand?
17:08What happened to those girls?
17:10They used to hate Liz's guts, you know?
17:12It was all they could talk about
17:15They always went out of their way to give her a hard time
17:18But something changed
17:19And now they're all crazy about her
17:21Out of the clear blue
17:23Pretty strange, don't you agree?
17:25These things don't happen every day
17:31Thank you for backing me up, then
17:33Not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up, though
17:36I know what you mean, Student Council's prickly
17:40I guess it'll be impossible to have a normal school life
17:43At least until Alicia returns
17:46They'll only be more interested in her when she comes back, though
17:50I can't believe you're having fun with this
17:53You're something else, you know that
17:55Hey, Mel
17:59There's a matter I want you to look into
18:01Could it be the saint?
18:03It's the saint, isn't it?
18:05There may be some sort of method behind her ability to make everyone adore her
18:10Wow, that sounds fascinating
18:13I'm on it
18:14And what's more
18:16Father has officially given me full authority over the matter with Roana
18:20Get me more detailed information
18:23Oh boy!
18:24At last!
18:25You-know-who doesn't really seem so excited about the whole thing, though
18:29That's true
18:33But I don't intend to force anything
18:35Hmm...
18:36I bet this would've gone more quickly if she were here
18:41Hey, Master!
18:42Would you like me to check on Miss Alicia as well while I'm at it?
18:46No...
18:47Why not?
18:48You're curious, aren't you?
18:50I don't want anyone who isn't me finding out more about her
18:53I never thought I'd see the day when you wished you had my job
18:59Well, it was good to catch up
19:01I've gotta go do my thing now
19:06Sometimes...
19:07I do wish I were the only one who could really know you
19:12Here!
19:13Studying that hard must make you crave something sweet, right?
19:17Hmm...
19:18Thanks a bunch
19:20I remember
19:21Alicia said she likes to eat macarons to improve the quality of her focus
19:26That's probably just because macarons happen to be her favorite treat
19:30How much longer can she keep this up?
19:33She doesn't even have any sweets to eat in there
19:36Yeah...
19:37It's been two years now since Alicia started her training
19:41There's less than a year left before Liz Cather graduates
19:45You know...
19:46I'm actually quite surprised
19:47I thought she'd be back in no time
19:49Never once did I imagine all of this
19:52She must be struggling to lock herself away for so long
19:55Well, she is going for level 90
19:58Can't be that easy
20:00You know...
20:01When Ally turned 15
20:02Father approached her about her desire to go back to the academy
20:06But she turned him away saying
20:08I'm just now with the good part
20:10Really makes you wonder...
20:11What is the good part?
20:12Who knows...
20:13But it sounds like Alicia hasn't given up yet
20:16So I have no plans to either
20:18There you are!
20:19Come quick!
20:21Oh!
20:22Master Henry...
20:23I didn't see you there
20:24It's alright...
20:25What's this about?
20:26I heard that Miss Alicia has finally completed her training
20:29The barrier's gone!
20:41Alicia!
20:44Hello?
20:48You're so tall now, Jill
20:50I wasn't sure that it was you
21:02Nah...
