00:01Blast it! Every one of them is drenched!
00:04Oh no! How can this be?
00:09The roof's leaking. How did we not notice it?
00:12No one knew that it would rain so much. It's unusual for this time of year.
00:18If it's all ruined, we won't finish in time for the festival.
00:25Don't cry, Miss Head of Artisans.
00:27So what now?
00:30We will figure something out.
00:33Right.
00:38Then let's grind it again.
00:40First, we'll move all the silver sugar into the hearth room to dry it out.
00:43Can someone go and get the mortars from the workroom?
00:46And quickly! No matter what, let's be done by the end of the day!
00:49Right!
01:17Let's go!
01:48Let's go!
02:19Let's go!
02:19Let's go!
02:20Let's go!
02:23Let's go!
02:29The sugar! Is it safe?
02:33It's worse than I feared. I knew the castle was damaged in places, but I wasn't expecting all this.
02:39You're regrinding it? I can have my school send more. Perhaps the Radcliffe workshop could spare some.
02:45Don't be silly. You know we could never ask for that.
02:49Can you finish then?
02:51I have no doubt.
02:55Good work, everyone. But tomorrow's the real battle. Get some rest for now.
03:04The rain finally stopped.
03:06Looks that way.
03:09If we give it the whole night to dry out, then we can grind some tomorrow.
03:13Let me look after the hearth, alright? Why don't you go and get some sleep?
03:17I can't do that.
03:19You should! I wouldn't want to be un-gentlemanlike.
03:22Yes, but I'm the head of artisans.
03:26Alright. Fine. We'll take turns.
03:30Do you think...
03:33We can finish everything before time?
03:36It's hard to say.
03:38Despite what I told the Viscount, I'm not all that confident.
03:41Even after the Silver Sugar is reground, we'll still need time to create the pieces and assemble them.
03:47If only we had one more skilled artisan on the team!
03:50Do you think Keith would come lend us a hand?
03:53Never. Mr. Radcliffe wouldn't allow him to.
03:56That's just how tribalism works.
04:00I know, but there must be someone else. A capable artisan who doesn't belong to a school.
04:07Oh! There's Cat!
04:11He's in Southcent at the moment, running a shop.
04:14I doubt he's got many customers. If you ask, I'm sure he'll help us.
04:18Good. Then we should all be back by evening.
04:21And I'll keep an eye on Noah for you.
04:24Let's go.
04:25Let's go.
04:26Right.
04:35They're all so cool to you, despite how deeply worried you are for them.
04:40I'm used to it. Really.
04:48He's never tried very hard to attract business.
04:52Well, it's better than last time.
04:58Excuse us.
05:01It's good to see you, Benjamin.
05:04That's funny. You look just like Anne.
05:07I am Anne. It's been a long time.
05:10Oh, hello. What brings you to a place like this?
05:14I came to ask something of Cat if he's here. Is he?
05:18Yes, indeed.
05:21Cat! There's a pretty girl here to see you.
05:26You say I'm busy.
05:28Oh, it's you two.
05:29Hmph. So you got Xiao back.
05:32Yes! Thank you so much for all your help.
05:34There's no need to thank me, since I didn't do anything.
05:38Did you come all this way just to say that?
05:40No. Actually, I need a favor.
05:43A favor?
05:45Well, currently, I'm working as the head of artisans at the Page Workshop.
05:49Ooh, how prestigious! You've really done well.
05:52You see, we're creating all the pieces for the Holy Beginnings Festival.
05:57We started working in Hollyleaf Castle, and then...
06:00I'm familiar with that place, actually. The rain, right?
06:04Yes. The silver sugar's ruined. We're doing our best to re-grind it.
06:08But now it's put you behind schedule. So you're hoping I'll lend you a hand with the sugar confections, aren't
06:13you?
06:14Would that be possible, Cat?
06:18It won't. I only make the things I want to make.
06:22Besides, I've got a birthday order for the old flower shop lady after the new year.
06:27And I'll prioritize her over anything else. The king and the church.
06:31Isn't there anything that you can do? Without your help, we'll fail.
06:35I already said no, so no.
06:38Say, Mr. Cat.
06:39Shell!
06:40Really? I hate being called Mr. Cat. Did you forget that?
06:43I remember.
06:45That was purposeful?
06:47Yes. Purposeful.
06:49You must be looking for a fight!
06:51Wait! Please don't kill each other!
06:53Now then, Mr. Cat. I understand that you owe a favor to the Viscount.
06:58I told Cat when I talked to you, that you would say something along those lines.
07:04Even then, he wouldn't back down, so I decided we should make it a wager.
07:07He bet you'd want me to get involved, and I bet you wouldn't.
07:11And now that he's lost, the penalty is that I have a chance to force him to do anything I
07:15say.
07:16Now that you mention it, that is true.
07:18No, I don't owe a single thing to that dim-witted reprobate!
07:22That was just a joke! A mere blunder!
07:24And that favor? Did he redeem it yet?
07:29Well, actually...
07:29Is the deal complete?
07:31No.
07:37That's it!
07:38If we can persuade him to surrender his request, do you think you would be more willing to help us?
07:43You can do that?
07:44Yes! I'm certain he would hand it off to me instead!
07:48Please, I'd be so grateful if you would come help us work!
07:51I don't know...
07:52The Holy Beginnings Festival isn't only for the royal's or the kingdom's religion!
07:57Because it's a time of prayer!
07:59For the happiness of all those who live here!
08:01And if our confections are good, we'll have good luck!
08:04Which means that we won't have a bad sugar apple harvest like we did this year!
08:09Hmm...
08:11Hmm...
08:11Hmm...
08:13Well, I'd rather do that than whatever he wants!
08:16So, yes!
08:18Hmph!
08:21I'll do it!
08:23Thank you, Shell!
08:24I'm glad you reminded me of what you said before!
08:27You and Cat are both idiots, so the conversation wasn't progressing!
08:34Hmm...
08:34Even so, it made me really happy that Shell helped me with something!
08:42Huh?
08:43There they are!
08:45Great to see you!
08:47Huh?
08:49So what happened with Cat?
08:50Hugh!
08:51The right to have Cat do anything you say!
08:53Please give it to me!
08:55Sorry?
08:57I suppose that means he turned you down, eh?
09:00But...
09:01He also said that he'd help if I surrendered the right to that favor!
09:06That's exactly right!
09:07So if you please, I need it!
09:09I refuse!
09:10When Cat creates a sugar confection, it's because he actually wants to do it!
09:15And now I have a chance to make him do anything!
09:18But Cat is our only hope to get through this!
09:20Well, I have no intention of spoiling you that much!
09:24If you want it that badly, pry it away from me!
09:30I will!
09:31Fine! I will!
09:32Really?
09:34Are you proposing that we duel?
09:36You know, there are rules about that!
09:39The Silver Sugar Viscount is only allowed to make confections that are ordered by the King!
09:43That said, there is an exception for contests!
10:00Let's compete!
10:03A reckless move!
10:05You're kidding!
10:09Very well, Halford!
10:11We have a match!
10:13You versus me!
10:15And the Judge?
10:17Let me see!
10:18I heard there's a fairy here who's been starving himself to death!
10:22I say whoever manages to feed him is the winner!
10:26Noah!
10:28Hmm...
10:29Alright then!
10:30He'll be the Judge!
10:31Good!
10:32I'll need my tools and Silver Sugar by tomorrow!
10:35Bring some for Anne as well, Salim!
10:37Sir!
10:38Did you hear all that, Collins?
10:40I'll be staying here with you!
10:42Make yourself at home then!
10:44Best of luck, Anne!
10:51What?!
10:51You versus the Viscount?!
10:53He'll mop the floor with you!
10:56Well, we don't know that for sure!
11:01Sorry, but it's too much!
11:03Starting work on it today, then feeding it to him tomorrow!
11:07Pardon me Anne, I'm going back to the hearth now!
11:10Can you at least be the one to tell the others?
11:13I'm afraid I don't have the heart to do it!
11:15Hmph!
11:33Everyone!
11:35Anne!
11:39Here, put some of this on your hands!
11:41Your blisters are bursting!
11:42That looks painful!
11:46Listen!
11:47There's something I need to tell you!
11:49Oh, we know!
11:50Elliot told us!
11:53Don't worry!
11:54We'll leave it to you!
11:56And in the meantime, we can cover your portion of the work!
11:59Allow us to handle everything else, Anne!
12:01You can just concentrate on winning!
12:04Perfectly said!
12:05Let's stay strong to the end!
12:07Right?!
12:07This is my job!
12:11I have to succeed!
12:12Not just for my own sake!
12:14But for all of theirs as well!
12:22He's so weak!
12:23I truly hope he'll eat!
12:25He might refuse to accept either one!
12:28I know!
12:30But maybe that was why Hugh suggested this!
12:33He's confident that he can do it!
12:36Fairies love sugar confections!
12:38But does the shape or design make a difference?
12:44If the shape has special meaning for you, the fragrance and beauty of it will be magnified!
12:51So it makes you want to hold it close!
12:54Much in the same way you long to kiss someone you love!
12:57I wonder if there's anything in life that means as much to Noah as Lord Herbert does!
13:02Go to sleep!
13:03Go to sleep!
13:04You'll need all your strength!
13:05You do!
13:06I'll watch over him!
13:08But Shao, you can't stay up the whole night!
13:12Your competition's important!
13:13But still...
13:16What's wrong?
13:17Do you need another goodnight kiss?
13:21I'll give you one if I must...
13:30Sleep...
13:33Um... Goodnight, Shell!
13:45Viscount!
13:46And has arrived with your breakfast...
13:49I see that you've made a mess again.
13:57Haven't I asked you before to treat books with more care?
14:00And the fathers who lent them to you, they had requested the same thing.
14:05I'm the one who has to return them, if you remember.
14:08That isn't what they meant when they told me to be careful.
14:11They just wanted me to keep them hidden.
14:13If I weren't in the peerage, I wouldn't be able to read any of these.
14:17They're what you would call banned books.
14:19Those are banned?
14:21Why?
14:21What's bad about them?
14:23I can't share secrets with my opponent, now can I?
14:28So your subject.
14:29Did you choose one?
14:31Um... well... no.
14:33There's not much time.
14:35I know.
14:38By the way, Anne.
14:40I have a visit to pay as soon as breakfast is over.
14:48Noah, are you awake now?
14:51There's someone who'd like a word with you.
14:56Pardon me.
14:58I'm Silver Sugar Viscount Hugh Mercury.
15:01What?
15:02I wasn't expecting you, sir.
15:05You can relax.
15:07May I ask you a question, please?
15:10Huh?
15:13Your master, Herbert.
15:14Was he an asset to his house?
15:16And a decent man?
15:18Yes.
15:19I hear he liked the game of thief.
15:23Well...
15:23I shouldn't say this.
15:25But truth be told, he wasn't exactly good at it.
15:28Oh.
15:29He was bad at thief, you say?
15:31Right.
15:33That's why he really only ever played it with me.
15:36Hmm.
15:37I see.
15:39Well, that's all.
15:41Get some rest.
15:42I'll bring you something nice later to say thank you.
15:47Something that holds meaning for him.
15:49Something he would eat.
15:52If I recreate Lord Herbert's likeness as a confection,
15:56that might make him happy.
15:58Like with the Duke of Felix.
16:04But...
16:07I hear you're competing with the Silver Sugar Viscount.
16:13Huh?
16:14Are you scared?
16:16Is that because of Xiao Fan Xiao?
16:18He told you to stay away from me?
16:20Well, that's not exactly it.
16:26There's no reason to worry.
16:29I would consider myself extremely close to him.
16:32But it's impossible to read his true intentions.
16:35I can't get him to open up.
16:37You're close.
16:39That's right.
16:40And I have no ill intent toward him or anything that he holds precious.
16:45Nor do I desire to do him any harm.
16:48Anne.
16:49The truth is...
16:51Me too.
16:52What's going on in here?
16:57Nothing at all.
16:58Just having a conversation with Anne about her upcoming competition with the Viscount.
17:03Truly?
17:04You against him?
17:07You're kidding.
17:08It's the only way.
17:12There's no chance you'll win.
17:14So why try?
17:18We're leaving, GLaDOS.
17:20Right.
17:21Take care, Anne.
17:27That was bizarre.
17:42I'm amazed you're still staring at that.
17:45Have you thought of something?
17:47Mm-mm.
17:49Not at all.
17:50All I can think about is how bad Noah must feel.
17:53Looking at this old portrait and missing his master.
17:56Poor thing.
18:00There must be something we can't see.
18:03Something only Noah is aware of.
18:07Something we can't see?
18:09That's true.
18:11If all he wanted to do was remember the past, then he wouldn't have to sit in this spot.
18:17There has to be something about this portrait, but no matter how hard I look,
18:23I'm still not seeing it.
18:29There has to be something that's happening.
18:32I'm still not seeing it, but no matter how hard we can,
18:39If he wants to come, he is still in the spot.
18:42He's still in the spot.
18:43Say, Shao, please take it off the wall.
18:46Would you?
18:47Of course.
19:03that looks like i think it's the crest of house chamber the royals tried to destroy them all
19:11but they missed this one and no one knew it was here he must have been trying to guard it
19:18a crest is the pride of a noble house and this is the last one it's lord herbert's
19:23spirit in physical form this is what no one was looking at
19:30shell i know what i'm going to create
19:35this crest is taboo the millsland royal family erased it from existence
19:41and you plan to resurrect it despite your position
19:46it's risky as a silver sugar master i shouldn't defy the crown but then what's the harm in
19:53people seeing the house chambers crest everyone who bore it is gone now i'm not making the sugar
20:00convection for the royal family i'm making it for the person who needs it most because that's what
20:07it means to be a sugar artisan don't you think so if there's even one person who might want it
20:13then
20:13that's reason enough you're bold aren't you defying the royal family i'm not trying to make people
20:21angry even if they might think that i am but at this point i can't change my mind
20:33well then make what you want to make
20:38no matter what comes of it i will always protect you
20:43and i'll stay by your side
20:57shell's looking after me
