<b>Marquess...</b>

165
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,620
<b>What is it, Sherry?</b>

166
00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:07,560
<b>Let's seek asylum.</b>

167
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,030
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>What are you saying?</b></font>

168
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:11,450
<b>We're surrounded.</b>

169
00:11:11,450 --> 00:11:13,890
<b>It won't be easy even to leave the capital.</b>

170
00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:16,110
<b>There's no need.</b>

171
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:18,990
<b>There's a foreign country

<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>The Jade Palace?</b></font>

173
00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:22,110
<b>Yes.</b>

174
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:25,990
<b>It's protected by treaty,

175
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,790
<b>No one from the Empire can interfere.</b>

176
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:32,790
<b>But will the Japanese diplomats take us in?</b>

177

<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>For now, we'll just have to cling to

178
00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:46,220
<b>It'll be trouble for him.
No, for many others, too.</b>

179
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:51,470
<b>Marquess, I want to avenge

180

183
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:02,400
<b>Yes, of course.</b>

184
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:08,940
<b>Maybe they should've arrested you first.</b>

185
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:11,320
<b>Very well.</b>

186
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,340
<b>I'll bear that cross together with you.</b>

187
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,390
<b>It's begun.</b>

188
00:12:27,390 --> 00:12:30,580
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>If we stay here,
we'll cause trouble for the residents.</b>

00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:39,340

193
00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:57,890
<b>Now, dance for Tyuule-sama.</b>

194
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:06,720
<b>It seems something's going on in town.</b>

195
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,510
<b>We've already sent scouts.</b>

196
00:13:09,510 --> 00:13:10,720
<b>They'll return soon.</b>

197
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,860
<b>Reporting!</b>

198
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:17,520
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>We've confirmed it's the Cleaners

199
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480

201
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:25,120

202
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:28,420
<b>Send an emergency summons
to the Yellow Roses.</b></font>

203
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,690
<b>Tell them to strengthen the

204
00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:32,370
<b>Yes, ma'am!</b>

205
00:13:36,740 --> 00:13:38,640
<b>It's going to be a long night.</b>

206
00:13:41,540 --> 00:13:45,310
<b>So we need to wait for the

207
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:47,490
<b>There's no time.</b>

208
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:50,270

00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:08,550
<b>At this hour?</b>

213
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:12,410
<b>It's an emergency.
I'd like to see them immediately.</b></font>

214
00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:20,030
<b>See? Told you it would work.</b>

215
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:22,570
<b>Your courage amazes me.</b>

216
00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:30,450
<b>Please wait here.</b>

217
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:41,390
<b>Miss, you can't go any further

218
00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:43,190
<b>Why?</b>

00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:48,960
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>That lawn marks the area of

222
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,850
<b>I'm glad you're safe.</b>

223
00:14:59,850 --> 00:15:01,500
<b>I made it somehow.</b>

00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,720
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>But the rest of the family...</b></font>

225
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,220
<b>I know how you must feel.</b>

226
00:15:07,570 --> 00:15:11,000
<b>Now, about that meeting with Japan...</b>

227
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,590
<b>They've refused, saying they 
have no reason to meet.</b>

228
00:15:14,590 --> 00:15:16,460
<b>Nothing to even discuss, huh?</b>

229
00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:20,390
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>Um... can we at least 
meet with Sugawara-sama?</b>

230
00:15:20,390 --> 00:15:23,440
<b>Sherry-sama, you mustn't

231
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,430
<b>He's going to be my husband!</b>

232
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:28,800
<b>If he knows I'm here,</b>

233
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,740
<b>I'm sure he'll take us in.</b>

234
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:32,750
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>You're very confident.</b></font>

235
00:15:33,050 --> 00:15:35,780
<b>Knight Captain Beefeater, will you go?</b>

236
00:15:35,780 --> 00:15:37,240
<b>Sure, got it.</b>

237
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:43,450
<b>We just refused not a moment ago.</b>

238
00:15:43,450 --> 00:15:44,590
<b>I'm aware.</b>

239
00:15:45,050 --> 00:15:47,790
<b>Marquess Casel is an important member
of the pro-peace faction.</b></font>

240
00:15:48,090 --> 00:15:50,160
<b>We'd like to help him.</b>

241
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,340
<b>But the orders from home haven't changed.</b>

242
00:15:53,590 --> 00:15:56,420
<b>If we take in one,
we'll have to take in two.</b>

243
00:15:56,420 --> 00:15:58,240
<b>If we take in two, we have to take in four.</b>

244
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,350
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>And there'll be no end to it.</b></font>

245
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,170
<b>And the Crown Prince and his men 
won't take that lying down.</b>

246
00:16:04,170 --> 00:16:06,360
<b>It'll just make things worse.</b>

247
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,720
<b>I'm aware of the situation.</b>

248
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,620
<b>But the person with him begged me.</b>

249
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,780
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>The person with him?</b></font>

<b>Sherry-san!</b>

254
00:16:23,940 --> 00:16:25,270
<b>I see.</b>

255
00:16:25,270 --> 00:16:28,210
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>So she was telling the truth, I guess.</b></font>

256
00:16:28,210 --> 00:16:29,670
<b>What did she say?</b>

257
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:32,420
<b>The same thing girls her age always say.</b>

258
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:34,430
<b>Show them the smallest kindness,</b>

259
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:37,140
<b>and they get all kinds of crazy ideas.</b>

260
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,260
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>Did she tell you I was her future husband?</b></font>

261
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:41,070
<b>Yup.</b>

262
00:16:43,370 --> 00:16:46,640
<b>You haven't laid a finger on her, right?</b>

263
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,530
<b>But that just makes it worse.</b>

264
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,090
<b>It makes her think you 
really care about her.</b>

265
00:16:54,030 --> 00:16:56,520
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>Sugawara-sama, at least...</b></font>

266
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,260
<b>At least let me hear your voice!</b>

267
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:05,100
<b>She's made it this far
by clinging to your kindness.</b>

268
00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:08,750
<b>She's literally risking her life.</b>

269
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:21,370
<b>You're sure, Sugawara-kun?</b>

270
00:17:21,670 --> 00:17:23,380
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>I'm a diplomat.</b></font>

271
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,720
<b>I can't let my personal feelings

272
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:36,430
<b>That's the perfect answer for a diplomat.</b>

273
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:39,240
<b>But only for a diplomat...</b>

274
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,040
<b>So they won't take us in after all?</b>

275
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,870
<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>I'm sorry we can't help.</b></font>

276
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:54,190
<b>No, you're simply doing your job.</b>

277
00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:55,920
<b>There's no need to worry about it.</b>

278
00:17:58,420 --> 00:17:59,800

<font face="Open Sans Semibold" size="36"><b>Why?</b></font>

288
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,180
<b>She's in a very delicate position right now.</b>

289
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,690
<b>Depending on how she treats the marquess,</b>

290
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,960

291
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:35,590
<b>And I feel sorry for the poor girl.</b>

<b>You're going to let that girl go.</b>

313
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:43,290
<b>Oh? She is an imperial citizen.</b>

314
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:48,790
<b>Why does a Japanese bureaucrat
want her release?</b></font>

315
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:56,420
<b>Because she is to marry me

<b>Sugawara-sama!</b>

317
