00:00At this year's festival selection, I'd like our workshop to take part.
00:06If we do it, it might help us return to our former...
00:08No.
00:10We will not participate.
00:13But, sir...
00:15I don't understand. It's an opportunity to rebuild the workshop.
00:19The Last Master refused.
00:22But... why?
00:23It was us who originally supplied the designs for the Holy Beginnings Festival.
00:28Until... the previous monarch changed the policies around it.
00:32The selections began, and we were never once chosen.
00:36You see, the last master of the page workshop was my father.
00:40It was his choice.
00:42The royal family and the kingdom's religion looked down on us, and this was his response to that.
00:47It's not my place to change it.
00:49Why did they never choose the page workshop?
00:52This conversation is over.
00:55Then, excuse me!
01:09Why are you not yet?
01:18Why are you not yet?
01:20Why are you not yet?
01:21Why are you not yet?
01:22Why are you not yet?
01:25The last master of the world is the world.
01:25That's the same thing
01:31It's like the moon
01:32Who can you make?
01:35Who can you make?
01:37I'm not sure what you're doing
01:39I'm not sure what you're doing
01:41It's not a decision
01:41We're running the road
01:42We're running the road
01:43I'm thinking
01:45I'm thinking
01:45I'm thinking
01:46I'm thinking
01:48I'm thinking
01:49Min Alfredo
01:51All
01:51Jesus
01:53I would
01:53I would
01:59I'm thinking
02:10I'll see you next time.
02:55I'll see you next time.
03:01The reality that we have inherited must not be disrespected.
03:05But, sir, what if the previous Masters were mistaken in their decisions?
03:11Mistaken? Are you saying they led us astray? That they failed? How dare you, Anne?
03:18I believe that everyone makes mistakes. And it isn't something to be ashamed of.
03:23Do you realize what you're saying? I refuse to sit by and allow you to insult our workshop.
03:29If you claim that we're perpetuating past mistakes, then you're suggesting that our traditions are mistakes.
03:38I'm sorry if that insulted you. But right now, you're insulting me.
03:43Pardon?
04:12Hmm?
04:14I will rebuild this place. Because that is my job.
04:22Elliot?
04:24It's nothing at all. I'm sorry.
04:26Allow me to escort her away now, sir. If this goes any further, I'm afraid she may cause you to
04:30have an attack.
04:32But I still have things to say.
04:34Let's go. You can discuss it another time.
04:40My, my, what a spectacle. To think you would defy Mr. Glenn himself. I never thought I would witness such
04:48a thing.
04:49You know, if you disagree with the way Mr. Glenn handles things, I'm sure you could say something yourself.
04:55Assuming that I disagreed.
04:58The truth is, everyone who's still at the workshop either feels a deep sense of gratitude for Mr. Glenn, or
05:04at least a strong admiration for him.
05:07My mother used to be a cook here at the main house back in the day.
05:10She raised me and my older sister all by herself.
05:15But when I was seven years old, she ended up sick and wasn't able to work anymore.
05:20The one who lent a helping hand in our time of need was old Mr. Glenn.
05:24I was too little to do much, but he took me on as an apprentice so that I could earn
05:29some wages.
05:31The others have a similar story. All of us are here because of Mr. Glenn.
05:36Really?
05:36Yes, really.
05:38Pardon. Could you spare us a moment of your time, please?
05:45That should fix it.
05:47Great. Thanks. We'll hurry and get your meals ready.
05:50I'm sorry to bother you while you're working.
05:53If you were sorry, you wouldn't have done it.
05:55But you're the one in charge of maintaining it, aren't you?
05:59Honestly, you've been this way since you were a child.
06:03Oh, you've been here for just as long?
06:05Yes. Orland and I have quite a storied history, don't we?
06:10My father was an artisan here years ago.
06:13After he passed, Mr. Glenn generously took me in. That's why.
06:17So you know, Orland never cuts his hair short because he made a wish a while back.
06:22He hoped for Mr. Glenn to be cured of his illness someday.
06:25Quiet.
06:26Are you two fighting in here?
06:30I'm really hungry.
06:32Uh-oh. Now the big scary one's here, too.
06:36King used to be a ruffian. He was so tough, no one would cross him.
06:41But Mr. Glenn went and hired him anyway.
06:44That's ancient history.
06:46I suppose it was a little similar to the way Nadir and I started our employment at Paige as well.
06:51If I'm remembering correctly, Mr. Glenn brought you on board because you weren't able to pay your tuition, right?
06:56Yes. He accepted me despite how stubborn I was.
06:59And even though I'm from a foreign land, he treated me like one of his own.
07:03Mr. Glenn really is the best, huh?
07:09I think we should probably go soon, Anne.
07:11Right.
07:12Is something wrong?
07:15Mr. Glenn values tradition.
07:18Everyone here looks up to him and respects what he says.
07:21It makes me wonder whether problems can be hard to see because you care.
07:26If only everyone's feelings could be united toward the same goal.
07:31Well, there are some things that nobody can do anything about.
07:35But in those cases, people tend to put their wishes into sugar confections, don't they?
07:41Now, let's go eat some dinner!
07:52Everyone, gather around, please!
07:55What's that for?
07:56I've missed the old feeling of silver sugar in my hands.
07:59Orland, you and Kang should continue with what you're working on.
08:02Nadir and Valentine, I'd like you to make something with this to show me.
08:06Huh?
08:06I want to see what you can do!
08:09I want to see what you can do!
08:28Putting wishes into sugar...
08:31Huh?
08:36Amazing!
08:37It's impressive, right?
08:39It's Valentine's favorite shape.
08:41I don't get it.
08:42But he says it has something to do with math.
08:45Hmm?
08:47As for Nadir, the more detail he puts into a piece, the more he likes it.
08:52Customers have fallen in love with his work for that reason, so he gets requests often.
08:55I see.
08:57That makes sense.
09:00Mr. Glenn!
09:02You should be lying down, sir.
09:04I'll be all right.
09:09The sweet scent of silver sugar.
09:12Coming here always lifts my spirits.
09:15Orland, King, Valentine, Nadir, and Anne.
09:19I say this as the head of the page workshop.
09:22So listen.
09:24We've always rejected the Holy Beginnings Festival selection process.
09:28However, this year we should participate.
09:32Are you sure that's all right, sir?
09:34Only this once.
09:36If we are not chosen, then we will never take part in it again.
09:41What's more, I'll ask you to leave this place.
09:44And that fairy will remain here with me.
09:48You're right.
09:48It's true that I have chosen you to be our head of artisans.
09:52Which means you've taken on the responsibilities that entails.
09:56Yes, sir.
09:57As the head of artisans, I can promise you...
10:01that I'll give it everything I've got.
10:16When I... did that...
10:20Shao!
10:24Have you finished all your work?
10:26Mm-mm.
10:27I have something that I wanted to tell you.
10:31Mr. Glenn just came and told us that we're participating in the selection process this year.
10:38Although...
10:38What is it?
10:40If Paige isn't selected, then I will be forced to give up my job here.
10:45And he's not going to give your wing back to me.
10:49Even so, I agreed to do it.
10:52Because I think it's necessary for the workshop.
10:55That's why.
10:58If you deem it necessary, then it's fine.
11:01Are you sure?
11:02If we don't end up being chosen, you'll be...
11:05You asked me to trust you and wait.
11:08So no matter what happens...
11:11That's what I intend to do.
11:13Oh, Shao.
11:17I'm glad.
11:19And even if we don't succeed, don't be afraid.
11:23Because one way or another, I'm going to retrieve your wing for you.
11:27I'm not afraid at all.
11:31Good.
11:43Ha-ha-ha!
11:45Sorry to startle you, but it seems I've just remembered an urgent matter.
11:49I must take my leave.
11:50The two of you should stay and enjoy this beautiful scenery.
11:53In places like this, some people hug, hold hands, and even kiss if you can believe it.
11:57What?
11:58Please stop it, Mithra Lidpod!
12:00Anyhow, have a good time, you two.
12:01Especially you and...
12:03I don't need your advice.
12:05Not that I would need it.
12:06I have no idea what he's talking about.
12:08Just forget who's even here.
12:09Wait!
12:10Mithra Lidpod!
12:11Please come back!
12:12I beg you!
12:16What kind of confection would be worthy of the festival?
12:20Perhaps we should try a motif that includes the 12 patron saints or the king.
12:24Nah, I don't like big clunky things like that.
12:28It'd be tacky.
12:29Not just that, but statues of the saints are boring.
12:32If we did a flower, then we could use more color.
12:35Flowers in wintertime?
12:37If the founding king is the standard...
12:39Alright, let's think some more...
12:41Why don't we pick something beautiful?
12:42That's enough now!
12:44You're all only suggesting ideas that appeal to each of you personally.
12:48Huh?
12:49Only one of us is going to work on the project, yeah?
12:52Right, I should have realized.
12:54Please pardon my rudeness.
12:56You've got it all wrong, king.
12:58Anne's going to make it.
12:59Wait, seriously?
13:01Actually, I'm not.
13:04Now, historically, the page workshop has assigned each commission to a single sugar artisan.
13:09But I've been thinking of changing our procedure.
13:12Changing?
13:13That's right.
13:13The five of us will come up with an idea together, and then we can all bring it to life.
13:18All five of us?
13:20I highly doubt that everyone's perspectives will be aligned.
13:24Moreover, why do they need to align?
13:27I'm glad you asked.
13:28If we make a piece we all approve of, then it's sure to feature everyone's best attributes.
13:35Chances are, if the five of us like it, then the other people are sure to like it as well.
13:40If such a thing exists...
13:42We'll never know until we try to find it, right?
13:45But where do we begin?
13:46We can sit and chatter all we want.
13:48It doesn't mean we'll agree on anything.
13:51I mean, our ideas and preferences are all completely different.
13:55I understand.
13:56So then, what themes have they selected in the past?
14:00What sort of piece is one?
14:02Maybe that information would give us some hints.
14:05That reminds me.
14:08These are the journals of previous masters.
14:11It's not the sort of reading material I'd ever go through.
14:15Why's that?
14:16Trust me, you'll see.
14:18Anyway, I've got some things to do.
14:19I'll be back tomorrow.
14:21If you're still at it, I'll try to help and...
14:24All right, let's all start reading.
14:27If we split it, we'll be done in no time.
14:30I'm not so sure about that.
14:33A secret language?
14:35So these journals are very old, as are all the speech patterns, and they're hard to read.
14:40I can't understand a word of it.
14:42Neither can I, even if I die trying.
14:45I can read them.
14:46I can manage as well.
14:48So can I.
14:50Only us three?
14:51The selection is less than two weeks away.
14:54Is there time?
14:55All we can do is divide them up.
14:57Three's better than none.
14:59Let's begin.
15:02Sorry.
15:03So am I.
15:04It's all right.
15:06Ooh, that must be challenging to read.
15:09It is.
15:10Do you know how to read it?
15:11No, I don't.
15:13Understanding that would require a quality education and a great deal of studying.
15:17I know.
15:18Perhaps young Miss Bridget would have some success with it.
15:21Speaking of which, I haven't seen her around.
15:24Apparently, she won't leave her room at all.
15:26Really?
15:27Fresh air would do her good, though.
15:29I agree.
15:35Who's there?
15:36Shell.
15:38Sorry.
15:39No.
15:39It's Anne.
15:41Miss Bridget, there's something that I was hoping to get your help with, so I...
15:51My help.
15:53Um, yes.
15:55You see, we've been trying to read the previous master's journals, but they're hard to follow.
16:00So I thought, if we could have you help us, then perhaps it would be...
16:06If I agreed to such a silly thing, would Shell come and pay me a visit?
16:10Well, that decision would be up to Shell.
16:13I can't say one way or another.
16:16Fine, then.
16:16If Shell doesn't come to see me, I'm not helping you.
16:21I understand.
16:23Oh, just one more thing.
16:25Here.
16:26What?
16:27I was thinking of you, and I made this.
16:30It's for you.
16:32Huh.
16:33You made this for me?
16:36I don't want it.
16:38You're free to break it and dispose of it.
16:41You know well that I'm not going to do that.
16:44That's why I can't accept it.
16:46I'll never accept it!
16:53Orland?
16:57What were you doing in the hall?
16:59What about you?
17:01I don't know.
17:03I wanted to give this to Miss Bridget.
17:05I thought if I did, she might help us with making sense of the journals.
17:09You are genuine to a fault.
17:11She'd never accept that.
17:13Nor would she help you.
17:14But you were bringing her this one as well, weren't you?
17:18That's just a simple apology.
17:20What for?
17:26I'm the one who stole Xiao's wing and put it on Mr. Glenn's pillow.
17:30Really?
17:31It was you who did that?
17:32But why do you stand again?
17:34I thought no one knew about that hiding spot.
17:37They simply don't remember.
17:41Years back, when we were young children, we would play together.
17:46It's been a long time.
17:47But she showed me where that hiding spot was in the fireplace.
17:51I see.
17:52Bridget aspired to become a sugar artisan.
17:55So we were comrades.
17:57She said that was why we should share our secrets.
18:00As a child, she was cheerful and sweet.
18:04But the person she is now disgusts me.
18:08I can barely look at her.
18:10And she's been so cruel to Xiao.
18:12So I stole the wing.
18:14Do you think Miss Bridget changed because she was forbidden to become a sugar artisan like she wanted?
18:20We're both girls and I can.
18:23You'd think the daughter of a schoolmaster would have that freedom.
18:27Well, if the child of a master becomes a sugar artisan, they inherit the workshop.
18:33Being in charge of a school is already difficult.
18:36It's even harder as a woman.
18:39And you know our situation.
18:41Mr. Glenn didn't want to leave his daughter in such an impossible position.
18:45He couldn't bear the thought.
18:49Once again, everyone's feelings are disconnected.
18:53It's making things worse.
18:55There are some things that nobody can do anything about.
18:58But in those cases, people tend to put their wishes into sugar confections, don't they?
19:02I understand.
19:04All a person can do is wish.
19:10You made this for me?
19:15Tell me something.
19:16That sugar confection.
19:18You made it for Miss Bridget, right?
19:21Your creations always have a certain strength to them.
19:24But when it's for Miss Bridget, you can make lovely things like this.
19:29If it's in the service of others.
19:33According to what we've learned from the journals, the confections made at the page workshop sometimes didn't align well with
19:39the kingdom's religion.
19:40Which led to conflicts.
19:42That's why they started doing it by selection instead.
19:45What's the bottom line?
19:46Are you saying that we should craft something that caters to the kingdom's religion this time?
19:52Not at all.
19:53It should be something that we all want to make.
19:56To honor Mr. Glenn.
19:59He wants to protect the page workshop.
20:01That's why he agreed to take part in the selection for this year.
20:05So whatever we make, we should make it for him.
20:08Something that'll keep him and the workshop going strong.
20:11When Mr. Glenn finally sees our creation on display at the Church of St. Louis-Denbell,
20:16I want it to be something that he can really be proud of.
20:20Let's all give it our best.
20:22But what should we make?
20:24Now that I think of it,
20:26every year Mr. Glenn hopes for snow on the night of the festival.
20:29He says that snowfall can lead us all into a brand new world.
20:33I've heard that snow is one of his favorite motifs.
20:37He'd love that.
20:38So Mr. Glenn favors snow.
20:40I think we have our answer.
20:43Let's create something like that.
20:51That sounded like Hal.
20:56Mr. Collins!
20:58Let's try it.
