00:06I want to know it. See how the rest of you live in Clareness. Find out where I belong. That's
00:12the place where I'm going. The place where I'll be at home.
00:17Well, when you're there, I hope I'll still be able to see you anyway.
00:22Zan.
00:33Shiryuki.
00:41Stay there. I'll come down.
00:43I'll climb up to you.
01:01Reach out.
01:09Well, that was unexpected. How'd you even know I was up here?
01:13I noticed someone on the balcony and knew it was you. But I... I assumed you'd gone back inside.
01:25You said my name. What could I do? Walk away?
01:41Did something happen?
01:43Yes. Kind of.
01:46I thought so.
01:49When I look to the future, I listen to dreams echoing in my heart.
01:54And I long for the day when I'm not the only one who can hear them.
02:23Let's look.
02:25I can't say anything, but I don't want to say anything.
02:34I can't breathe slowly, I can't breathe.
02:40I can't breathe slowly, I can't breathe.
02:51See you next time.
03:23See you next time.
03:47Sounded a lot like a warning. As if he was telling me to consider whether I deserved to be here
03:52with you.
03:54Oh, I see. Now his recent behavior makes sense. Sorry.
04:27Why?
04:29I let go too quickly. I must admit, I was really enjoying holding you.
04:44Listen, I have a story. It's about my brother. Do you want to hear it?
04:51I do.
04:56He was the firstborn, and as such a priority. I, however, was always in his shadow.
05:06On his 17th birthday, he was asked what he wanted.
05:10Now what do I want as my gift?
05:14A castle would be nice. One bordering Lido and Sui territories.
05:21Are you certain, sire? For as I understand it, their lords have been feuding for ages.
05:26Are you thinking of mediating between them, highness?
05:28Of course not.
05:29Then why would you want a castle there?
05:33Because the land is beautiful, and its value extremely high.
05:38It took a while for me to understand what was happening.
05:41I was too young.
05:43But soon, to get into my brother's good graces, the lords of Lido and Sui sent him copious amounts of
05:49money and goods.
05:50How very generous of you.
05:52And my brother happily accepted, parlaying the gifts into ample construction funds.
05:59Before too long, retainers from both men had come to speak with him in secret.
06:05In order to assist you with financing the castle, the lord of Lido has been unfairly taking money from his
06:10people.
06:11And it's the same in Sui.
06:13I beg of you, please reconsider this venture.
06:16Why aren't you complaining to them?
06:19Highness, please!
06:20Gossip about my brother's actions quickly began to spread around the castle.
06:25I believed he was playing a cruel game.
06:29You've been standing there long enough. Speak.
06:32There's a rumor.
06:34The Sui retainer has lost his position because he's been banished.
06:38Sounds right.
06:39The one from Lido hasn't been around lately either. Makes one wonder what happened.
06:43Do you wonder, though?
06:45I'll tell you what, Zen.
06:46Let's go see how the castle's coming along.
06:50We can make a couple of stops along the way.
06:53True to his word, he took me with him to visit the two lords.
06:57And he told them both the same story.
06:59I thought you should know.
07:01The other lord is greedily usurping his people's money in a blatant attempt to curry favor with me.
07:06I'm not sure that's the wisest of moves.
07:08What good could he possibly be to me if he renders his people impoverished?
07:13It's truly a disgrace.
07:15Only an unworthy leader would make such a foolish decision.
07:18Each one thought they could take advantage of my brother's seeming dislike for the other.
07:22So they stopped overtly extorting money, turning to even more unlawful tactics.
07:28Which was precisely what Asana expected.
07:30He secretly investigated the crimes of the two lords and their accomplices.
07:35Eventually removing them all.
07:39Lords who allow their people to rot should know the same fate.
07:42Let them die in the shadows.
07:47Both lords lost everything.
07:50My brother quickly appointed their two former retainers as their successors.
07:56I'm pleased to say these gentlemen have been well taken care of at the castle.
08:00Asana allotted the vast amounts of tribute he had received from the two lords to be used as funds for
08:05both lands.
08:07He never spent a single coin.
08:14I apologize, Lord Brother.
08:16I never considered you had a plan and just assumed you were using the lords as a means of amusement.
08:22Well, who says I wasn't?
08:23I had a great time.
08:26Aren't you worried, though?
08:27They could be holding a grudge against you now.
08:29I'm sure they are.
08:31Revenge on me is probably imminent.
08:33Don't say that!
08:35If I have no one to protect me from danger when the time comes, then that will be a reflection
08:40of a failed legacy.
08:43Xen, if you do not make those around you recognize you as the king's son, you will never be aware
08:48of it yourself.
08:51He was right.
08:52This man was going to be the king of Clareness.
08:55I wanted to become a person worthy and deserving of a place by his side.
09:01Nothing mattered to me more.
09:10I'm sorry. It's gotten pretty late.
09:13I guess so.
09:15Shiryuki, there's one more thing I needed to talk to you about.
09:20Which is?
09:21Raj said something fairly outrageous at the party.
09:23Oh, no. What did he say?
09:26Well, you won't like it.
09:28He announced that I...
09:30That I was thinking of you as my fiancée.
09:35I don't know if anyone took him seriously, but it might be uncomfortable from now on.
09:40Everyone around here will be watching you and wondering if there's any truth to it.
09:45Then this means I can stay in the castle!
09:52Wait, but what about you and the Lockstow incident?
09:54Don't be concerned. Those men will soon recover.
09:58Right.
10:00You don't have to worry about me, Xen.
10:02I don't mind what anyone might say.
10:03I mean, it's not like it's true.
10:07Who cares?
10:08Right?
10:12What'd I say?
10:20In that case, it doesn't matter if everyone's watching.
10:23You should just do as you please.
10:25And be true to yourself.
10:28Yes.
10:30I know it's easier said than done.
10:32It doesn't apply to everything.
10:34You may slip up sometimes, but you know that's okay.
10:38Everyone does.
10:39I'll take my advice, too.
10:42And remember, I'm always on your side.
10:53Shiryuki and the prince are together?
10:56All right!
10:57Keep your voice down, Kai.
10:59It doesn't make sense.
11:00They don't seem as though they're anything more than just good friends.
11:02Come on, where'd you hear this juicy tidbit?
11:04You have to tell me, please!
11:07I heard it from the guards who were working the tea party.
11:10They said that the prince who was visiting from Tanbarun declared it.
11:13Oh, that guy.
11:15I wonder, how would he know?
11:17Seems like he knows Shiryuki and the prince pretty well.
11:21So, next to it, we'll be taking a tour of the medical buildings?
11:24Are you feeling all right, Prince Raj?
11:27I'm fine, don't you worry.
11:30Anyway, they look just wonderful.
11:33From the very best buildings are born the very best medicines, naturally.
11:37Tanbarun could learn from this example.
11:39Right, Sakaki?
11:41Yes, sir.
11:42I am so honored by your kind words.
11:44Well then, please come inside.
11:46No, that's all right.
11:47We have thoughtlessly taken enough of your valuable time already, dear madam.
11:51Think nothing of it.
11:53Princess Anna specifically requested that I show you around the entire castle grounds.
11:57Then I'm grateful to you both for that generous and considerate offer.
12:01Excuse me a moment.
12:06Sakaki, you check it out first.
12:08Yes, but why me?
12:09Use your head, fool!
12:11Didn't you hear them say that girl was working as an herbalist in there?
12:14I can't risk running into her!
12:16That's true.
12:16And we have caused her enough problems already.
12:20Right, anyway.
12:21No good can possibly come of us meeting again, even by accident.
12:25And I'm positive Shiryuki feels the same way.
12:28Pardon, Prince Raj?
12:30Is everything all right?
12:32Yes, please excuse me.
12:36Are we clear?
12:37Yes.
12:38All right, let us continue our fascinating tour.
12:42Sakaki.
12:43Right away, sir.
12:45This room is nice.
12:47What a splendid facility you have!
12:49Um, that's just the storage area.
12:51Storage!
12:53This room is nice, too.
12:55Magical!
12:55I've never seen finer!
12:57Yes, thank you.
13:00Do you think you can finish by this evening?
13:03Yes.
13:04Excellent.
13:04Then that will be the last of the checks.
13:06Thank you very much.
13:10Boy, Zen, the days feel a lot longer than 24 hours lately.
13:14Oh, be quiet.
13:16Kiki, what's up after this?
13:18You get to see Prince Rajah, finally.
13:20Very good.
13:22I'll see you there in a bit, then.
13:24Have fun, Zen.
13:25Don't be too late.
13:27Master!
13:29Are you heading over to see the mist now?
13:32No.
13:33Shiryuki's working at the moment.
13:37Oh, by the way, have you seen my brother?
13:41No.
13:41You have business with him?
13:43I just wanted to have a little chat.
13:46Oh.
13:49I'm glad that's finally over.
13:51I wouldn't get comfortable just yet, Highness.
13:54We're not leaving the castle until this evening.
13:56Yes, I know.
13:59Oh, again?
14:00Oh, I'm not faking it!
14:01I've been so wrapped with worry and stress,
14:04it's making my stomach hurt.
14:05You should have mentioned that to me earlier.
14:07Are you serious?
14:08It's just a stomachache.
14:10I can't afford to let anyone here think
14:11I might be vulnerable.
14:13I understand.
14:14At least let me go fetch some medicine for you.
14:16Wait!
14:17Whatever you do, don't say it's for me.
14:19As you wish.
14:21Guys!
14:29So all that's left to do
14:30is take this down to the treatment room, right?
14:32Yeah.
14:35I'll start heading over there now, then.
14:41Something seems a little off with her.
14:47Is it the girl close to Prince Zen?
14:50Yes, the one who has the bright red hair.
14:52Oh, her.
14:53I don't think it's been set in stone yet, though.
14:56It might as well be.
14:57She seems awfully close to Mitsuhiti and Kiki
14:59from what I've seen.
15:02This is just like Zen said it would be.
15:05But it might be uncomfortable from now on.
15:08It doesn't matter.
15:10Who cares?
15:18Lord Brother, may I have a word with you?
15:27Isana?
15:29Come, Zen.
15:30Let's spar a little, and we can talk.
15:33Do you mean right this minute?
15:35I've been feeling a bit restless.
15:37Following that little twerp around makes me tense.
15:40Besides, I think you want more than just a chat, right?
15:53You have the floor.
15:54Start talking.
15:56Well, for starters,
15:57why do you treat Shiryuki like a nuisance
15:59when you don't know her yet?
16:01Because I'm too busy at the moment
16:03to play getting to know you
16:04with a girl who's clearly a distraction.
16:08Too busy to bother learning even one thing
16:10before writing her off?
16:13Well, look who finally found his voice.
16:15I never needed my voice before.
16:17That's my point.
16:19I knew it.
16:20It took no time whatsoever to figure this out.
16:23You've fallen for her heart, and you know it.
16:25Although in the end, it's irrelevant.
16:28We can't always get what our hearts want, Zen.
16:31There are other girls out there
16:33who have more value and political worth.
16:35People will want to see if she has something
16:37to offer Clarence besides unusual hair.
16:39Once they realize she doesn't,
16:41you'll be the laughingstock of the entire kingdom.
16:50You're rather off your game today.
16:52Pity.
16:53Prepare yourself,
16:54because Shiryuki has a way
16:56of taking preconceived notions about her
16:58and proving them wrong.
17:01I'm bored with this now.
17:03Come on.
17:04Let's go back.
17:06Lord Brother,
17:07you should know you're wrong about her,
17:09and having that girl in my life
17:10is not going to divert me from my path.
17:14Then leave her behind.
17:32You're supposed to watch Zen,
17:34and yet you allowed him
17:35to bring a red-headed diversion
17:36into our lives.
17:38I'm starting to think
17:39it's because I was watching him.
17:42Wonderful.
17:43It looks like we have
17:44two impertinent mouths.
17:47Guessing Zen finally stood up to him
17:49and said something impertinent.
17:51Our little prince is starting to grow up.
17:57What in the world
17:58could be holding Sakaki up so long?
18:01At this rate,
18:02my stomach will rip itself open.
18:12It looks like you're working hard in Clareness.
18:15This seems like a very nice place.
18:17I am, and yes, it is.
18:21Well, excuse me.
18:28Do you need some help?
18:29No, no, nothing.
18:30I'm fine.
18:33What's this?
18:34Is it medicine?
18:35Yes, but it's specific.
18:37You mean they asked you
18:39to bring it down to me?
18:40Wait, what are you doing
18:41that's not for you?
18:43Isn't this the remedy
18:44I asked them for?
18:45I know nothing about
18:47a remedy for you.
18:48Well, I told him
18:49not to say that it was for me.
18:50I'm taking this now.
18:59That contained a topical treatment.
19:01It's for flesh wounds.
19:02What?
19:03So it wasn't a stomach medicine?
19:05I said no.
19:06Oh, well,
19:08that could have ended badly.
19:10Well, I can't really fault you
19:12for thinking it was yours.
19:13I should have been more careful
19:14carrying it around.
19:16You are royalty, though,
19:17and in the jurisdiction
19:18of another country.
19:20You need to take responsibility
19:21for your own safety.
19:23One would imagine
19:24my status as a prince
19:25would be enough for you
19:26to watch your tongue around me.
19:27You're not supposed
19:28to say stuff like that.
19:30If you want me to respect you
19:31as though I'm proud
19:32of the ruler of my country,
19:33then rule my country
19:34like a prince I can be proud of.
19:36You can't say stuff
19:37like that either.
19:38You may very well be right,
19:39but as someone from Ton Maroon,
19:41I think it's a reasonable request.
19:45Are you serious?
19:48That was rhetorical.
19:49I don't need any more insults.
19:53Your Highness,
19:55you shouldn't be wandering
19:55the grounds alone.
19:57You were too slow
19:58and I got bored.
19:59Now where's my medicine?
20:00They need to examine you
20:02before prescribing something.
20:03If you want,
20:04I can take you
20:05to the treatment room.
20:06I think not!
20:08Wait for me!
20:09No!
20:10I don't have time
20:10to wait around for you anymore!
20:14The chief herbalist
20:16isn't going to like this.
20:17No, I imagine she won't.
20:21Not after I tell her
20:23what I saw.
20:25You have to realize by now
20:26you'd be much better off
20:27with Prince Raj.
20:30Life for you here
20:31could be unpleasant
20:31with me around.
20:33You know that, right?
20:39Prince Susanna.
20:41I have no intention
20:43of ever returning
20:44to Tanbaru.
20:45Is that so?
20:46I'm rather disappointed
20:47to hear it.
20:51You refuse to retreat?
20:54Absolutely.
20:58Direct eye contact, too.
21:00Aren't you something?
21:08So tell me, Princess,
21:10have you come
21:11to dislike it?
21:13No, I never will.
21:16It's the country
21:17where I met Zen.
21:22Hmm.
21:23What strange children you are.
21:40You don't think she'll show up
21:41at the send-off, do you?
21:45Are you worried about something?
21:47Sakaki, please bow once
21:49toward the castle in my stead.
21:51What?
21:51Why me?
21:52Just do as I ask you to.
21:54I'm trying not to lose face.
21:56Right.
22:02This is the path I've chosen.
22:06And I found a beacon
22:07to guide me now.
22:09So I will keep moving forward.
22:12And I won't let go.
22:18No matter what,
22:19we'll always have the wind
22:21at our backs.
22:24We'll be right back, too.
22:25If you're not wrong,
22:26we'll be right back.
22:45No matter who's up,
22:49we'll be right back.
22:51But I will be right back.
