"I will name the bird 'Queen, '
but remember, he is male."

3
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,430
You're a male bird?

4
00:00:59,518 --> 00:01:02,354
Wonderful

5
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:16,326
I heard that you would eat fish,
yet you haven't touched it

6
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:20,497
So perhaps you'd prefer
some sort of insect?

7
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:23,250
How about we try…

8
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:26,712
caterpillars or flies?

9
00:01:34,845 --> 00:01:36,096
Thank goodness

10
00:01:36,179 --> 00:01:37,931
I'm quite afraid of insects

12
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:09,588
I heard that a lot of birds
like their feathers patted

13
00:02:10,255 --> 00:02:11,465
Do you like that, too?

14
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:27,439
You're adorable

15
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,179
How can you name a male "Queen"?

16
00:03:41,263 --> 00:03:42,597
What are you talking about?

17
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:46,226
Weren't you out scouting
like you were supposed to?

18
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:48,311
Did you wander off somewhere else again?

19
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,440
No. I was out scouting

20
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:54,317
Scouting…

21
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:57,612
into another woman's heart again?

22
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,366
No, no, just the Imperial Palace

23
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:02,576
You shouldn't say that

24
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:10,625
Sire, please,

25
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,253
I really need you to be more careful
with how you act!

26
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:18,049
You can't ever forget the fact
that you are the first in line

27
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:19,926

Her Majesty, sire

37
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:59,901

Ms. Rashta as your mistress

EMPEROR SOVIESHU TROVI VICTOR
EMPRESS NAVIER ELLIE TROVI

39
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:07,617
We'd usually hold a banquet
to celebrate the registration

40
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:10,537
However, it coincides
with the New Year's Ceremony

41
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:12,539
I'll meet the Empress soon

42
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:14,040
I'll talk with her

43
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,043
- Proceed
- Yes

44
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:20,839
And what shall we do
about the request from Lady Albani?

45
00:06:25,343 --> 00:06:29,055
Are you saying His Majesty took
the side of his mistress so blatantly?

46
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:30,557
Yes, right in front of Her Majesty

47
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,142
and with all the ladies-in-waiting

48
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,312
Oh my. That puts the Empress
in a very awkward position

49
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,689
It wasn't just awkward
It was humiliating

50
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,152
You look even more beautiful today,
Your Majesty

51
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:48,074
I'll do that

52
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:56,833
She told me she called you "sister."

53
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,128
It was only later I realized

54
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:03,340
how disconcerting
that must have been for you

55
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:10,096
She only called you that

56
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:14,184
as she thought I would feel more at ease
if she got along with you like family

57
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,270
Isn't she innocent?

58
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:23,860
Let us begin

59
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:25,278
Yes, Your Majesty

60
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:33,953
Lady Albani had demands, I presume?

61
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,998
Did she want recompense
for sponsoring Ms. Rashta?

62
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:40,418
Nothing is ever free in this world

63
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:42,087
Tell me…

64
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,132
Did you grant a pardon
for the Grand Duke, Your Majesty?

65
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:48,468
Out of the question

66
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:52,639
I returned their family crest
and estate in Lucevan, which I had seized

67
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:57,936
As for Rashta's banquet,
we shall do as you wish

68
00:07:58,019 --> 00:07:59,729
Then we shall abstain, Your Majesty

69
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:05,235
With so many important guests
in attendance,

70
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:07,237
the ceremony
will not be eclipsed by scandal

71
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,905
I agree with you

72
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:11,616
It is the grandest festival
of the Imperial Palace,

73
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:14,202
and also a day for us

74
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:19,499
Please smile, Your Majesties

75
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:27,674
"A mistress cannot be entered
into the imperial family register,

76
00:08:27,757 --> 00:08:29,384
"the same for any child born to her."

77
00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:31,970
"They cannot obtain the rights
of imperial royalty."

78
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,015
What does that mean though?

79
00:08:36,099 --> 00:08:38,560
It's saying that if you had any children,

80
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:41,688
they cannot have the title
"prince" or "princess," I'm afraid

81
00:08:41,771 --> 00:08:43,314
- Even if the child is royal?
- Yes

82
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:46,317
Even if you give birth to a child
who looks identical to the Emperor,

83
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:49,154
Eastern Empire laws require
the descendants of a mistress

84
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:50,739
to be managed in a separate genealogy

85
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:52,866
You may receive an allowance

86
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:54,659
But only whilst you're under contract

87
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:56,578
Therefore, once the contract ends,

88
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:59,414
if it isn't renewed,
you must leave the Imperial Palace

89
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:02,459
Are you saying the contract can end?

90
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:06,463
Typically, the contract is renewed
every two years

91
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:08,506
… Here

92
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:23,104
- Would you excuse us?
- Yes

93
00:09:28,318 --> 00:09:29,319
Here

00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:40,163
beside Her Majesty's signature
is your name

97
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:43,625
You cannot… You're…

98
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,294
You're illiterate

You are all done

108
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:31,131
I'm sorry…

109
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:34,509
Can you give Ms. Rashta and I
some time alone, please?

110
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:37,011
She'll have questions about life
in the Imperial Palace

111
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:38,638
and may have concerns

112
00:10:38,721 --> 00:10:40,515
that she can only confide
to another woman

113
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,605
This is different from what I hoped

114
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:50,859
I heard I won't have a celebratory banquet
due to the New Year's Ceremony

115
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:53,319
I thought His Majesty
would at least be here

116
00:10:53,403 --> 00:10:56,197
and celebrate with me
and show his gratitude

117
00:10:56,281 --> 00:10:59,951
With the New Year's Ceremony so close,
His Majesty is indisposed

118
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:01,411
Also, look at the contract

119
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:05,206
He can keep me around for two years,
then throw me out once he grows tired

120
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:08,835
Rashta, now see here!

121
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:12,672
Don't you understand

122
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:15,216
that from now,
you're a daughter of Botulin House?

123
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,261
Being thrown out, now that
you're one of us, will never happen

124
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:20,305
I say so

125
00:11:24,642 --> 00:11:27,187
These are black diamonds
Aren't they lovely?

126
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:32,192
They are only for the women
of Botulin House

127
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:34,402
Here

128
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:54,547
Congratulations on becoming
His Majesty's woman

129
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:10,271
I will set a suitable date for a banquet
in your honor, Ms. Rashta

130
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:13,066
Keep your chin tucked in,

131
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:16,069
lift your chest, keep your back straight,

132
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:18,488
and your gaze forward

133
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:22,533
I will turn you into a noble lady,

134
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:27,080
who is suited to His Majesty
and his way of life

135
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:33,962
<i>2,000 fireworks,</i>

136
00:12:34,045 --> 00:12:36,256
<i>5,000 packs of cigarettes,</i>

00:12:36,339 --> 00:12:39,092
<i>300 casks of whiskey, 400 boxes of caviar,</i>

138
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,927
<i>200 horses and 50 carriages</i>

139
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:43,513
<i>As for meat… beef, mutton, and chicken</i>

140
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,307
And finally, we have 5,000 kegs of beer

141
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:47,850
Thank you

142
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:50,436
See that it's well prepared
for our subjects to enjoy,

143
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,521
as well as our guests

144
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:53,106
Yes

145
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:58,861
It is today that Laura's
punishment ends, is it not?

146
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,029
- Yes
- Yes

147
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,700
Our other engagement,
the dress fitting, you can postpone it

148
00:13:04,701 --> 00:13:07,578
I will prepare to fetch Lady Laura

149
00:13:17,005 --> 00:13:18,006
Sister!

150
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:27,307
Good day, Your Majesty

151
00:13:29,392 --> 00:13:32,020
I was just on my way to see you, my lady

152
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,273
I have something to share
with Your Majesty

153
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:37,150
My adoptive mother gave me caramels

154
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:39,610
They're so delicious
I thought you'd like to try a piece

155
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:48,286
Your Majesty…

156
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:52,123
why do you have
such a scary look on your face?

157
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:54,792
I do not want you to bring me things

158
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,253
And also…

159
00:13:58,212 --> 00:13:59,380
refrain from visiting me

160
00:13:59,964 --> 00:14:03,217
It's not as though we are on such terms
that we enjoy seeing each other

161
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,637
Then we can try and get on good terms. I…

162
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:10,641
I'd like to become close friends
with Your Majesty

163
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:14,062
There's no need to act this way

164
00:14:14,145 --> 00:14:15,772
When the next mistress arrives,

165
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,983
you can become close
with her instead of me

166
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:22,445
"The next mistress"?

167
00:14:23,071 --> 00:14:24,572
But of course

168
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:26,491
There will be others
once he's done with you

169
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:29,994
If you just wait a little,

170
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:32,747
you will make plenty of friends

171
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:36,334
The previous emperor had eight mistresses

172
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:42,256
With that many, you can play the ball game
that's popular among the citizen class

173
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,717
Wouldn't you enjoy that?

174
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:13,246
Your Majesty!

175
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:18,668
Your… Your Majesty

176
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,139
You stayed strong

177
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:32,807
You did so well, Laura

178
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,064
I'll be okay

179
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:22,064
I'm here as you requested

180
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:26,194
What is it?

181
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:28,237
Your lady-in-waiting…

182
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:30,948
the one who was punished…

183
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,159
Daughter of a Marquess

184
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:35,995
And her name is Laura Tallital

185
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:42,001
I heard you went

186
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:44,879
and took her…

187
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,548
My lady-in-waiting…

188
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:50,009
suffered for five whole days

189
00:16:51,469 --> 00:16:53,679
Did you really have to do that?

190
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:55,890
How does it make me look

191
00:16:55,973 --> 00:16:58,893
if you go out of your way
to care for someone I punished?

192
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:04,148
Instead of going to the prison
to fetch her…

193
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:10,905
you should have cast her out
of the Imperial Palace

194
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:13,699
She was only punished
for my sake, Your Majesty

195
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:15,660
It would not be right
if she were banished

196
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:18,412
Besides, her actions made sense

197
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,581
She merely defended her Empress

198
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:26,963
So you will take her side to the very end?

199
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,715
Those ladies are under my authority

200
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:31,592
They should only have to answer to me

201
00:17:31,676 --> 00:17:34,720
How dare you defend the person
that humiliated Rashta?

202
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:41,561
And you said such spiteful things
to that poor girl who knows nothing

203
00:17:41,644 --> 00:17:43,145
Why have you changed so much?

204
00:17:43,813 --> 00:17:44,814
I was spiteful?

205
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:47,650
I heard you told Rashta
that I would take another mistress

206
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:51,445
Historically, the emperor never takes one

207
00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:53,364
He takes as many as he pleases

208
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:55,783
Have you forgotten your promise…

209
00:17:56,867 --> 00:17:59,287
that you would never take one yourself?

210
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:03,916
You said that you would not embarrass
your empress as the previous was

211
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:05,835
and let me suffer

212
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:09,213
You say Lady Laura humiliated Rashta

213
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:13,384
Was it not the same humiliation
to condemn her to prison?

214
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,596
She is my lady-in-waiting

215
00:18:17,471 --> 00:18:19,682
Your Majesty only chose to punish Laura

216
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:22,226
to flaunt your command
in front of your mistress

217
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:25,563
Anything to please her

218
00:18:26,063 --> 00:18:29,066
You'll even send the daughter
of a noble house to prison

219
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:30,526
It was performative power

220
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:33,029
- Enough!
- I'm now laughingstock

221
00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:35,156
You say I've changed?

222
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:38,993
Lady Laura has borne the brunt
of your harsh actions…

223
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,417
and it has brought disgrace on her family

224
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:49,545
Your Majesty, it isn't me…

225
00:18:51,255 --> 00:18:52,798
but you who's been changed

226
00:19:32,254 --> 00:19:33,255
You've returned

227
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,591
Where's Lady Laura?

228
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:37,510
We are taking care of her
as you asked, Your Majesty

229
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:39,387
So please, do not worry

230
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:41,806
In your chamber, there's a gift for you

231
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:44,350
It arrived today, from Duchess Trovi

232
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:45,476
From Mother?

233
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,394
<i>"To Her Majesty the Empress</i>

234
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:32,148
<i>"I had very much wished to attend this
New Year's Ceremony and see you</i>

235
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:36,152
<i>"However, I decided that I must be patient
for a little longer</i>

236
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,738
<i>"I found myself recalling
the very first time</i>

237
00:20:38,821 --> 00:20:41,157
<i>"I made clothes for you
before you were born</i>

238
00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:44,452
<i>"Back then,
even the smallest piece of fabric</i>

239
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:46,787
<i>"was enough to wrap around you."</i>

240
00:20:46,871 --> 00:20:48,038
Little one…

241
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:51,459
Your mother will make sure
you look lovely

242
00:20:52,334 --> 00:20:55,004
<i>"It was true before you came
into this world,</i>

243
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:56,338
<i>"and remains so now</i>

244
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:58,591
<i>"You are my most darling treasure</i>

245
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:02,803
<i>"I hope this dress will bring Your Majesty
great comfort and bravery</i>

246
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:05,389
<i>"The Duke also sends his regards</i>

247
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:09,059
<i>"Whenever he misses you,
he gazes upon the olive tree you planted."</i>

248
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,855
<i>"That tree now casts quite a big shadow</i>

249
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,148
<i>"My beloved Majesty</i>

250
00:21:14,231 --> 00:21:15,816
<i>"Please take courage!"</i>

251
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:20,029
<i>"To my beloved younger sister,
Her Majesty the Empress</i>

252
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:22,156
<i>"We fought another small battle today</i>

253
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:24,492
<i>"We are clearing out the remnant forces,</i>

254
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:26,786
<i>"so we may be able
to move up the peace talks</i>

255
00:21:26,869 --> 00:21:28,704
<i>"If these talks make progress,</i>

256
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:32,291
<i>"the greatest threat
to the Eastern Empire may disappear</i>

257
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:35,878
<i>"Your Majesty, I heard the news
about the Emperor's mistress</i>

258
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:41,550
<i>"Our parents were deeply shocked as well,
but they seemed concerned only for you</i>

259
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:43,803
<i>"I believe in you, Your Majesty</i>

260
00:21:43,886 --> 00:21:45,638
<i>"I know how strong you are</i>

261
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:46,889
<i>"If only I were near you,</i>

262
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:50,267
<i>"I would have beaten that rascal
until he was black and blue!</i>

263
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:54,021
<i>"I will come to see you soon,
Your Majesty</i>

264
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:57,107
<i>"Until then, please stay well."</i>

265
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,248
Oh!

266
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,917
Wow!

267
00:22:57,001 --> 00:22:58,502
Ooh!

268
00:23:01,964 --> 00:23:03,340
Look there!

269
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:34,330
Careful,
don't damage the flowers

270
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:36,332
Hurry now!

271
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:46,443
Why would he walk backwards like that?

272
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:48,779
It's dangerous

273
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:56,578
We've allocated 110,000 krang
for the foreign delegation banquet

274
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:59,289
and 50,000 krang
to enhance the military band

275
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:00,541
for the commemorative parade

276
00:25:00,624 --> 00:25:01,959
That sounds perfect

277
00:25:02,042 --> 00:25:03,544
Thank you for your work

278
00:25:04,211 --> 00:25:07,840
Your Majesty, we've received a request
for you to welcome a delegation

279
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:10,217
It's the Western Kingdom

280
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:11,468
The Western Kingdom?

281
00:25:12,594 --> 00:25:14,013
Yes, it's Prince Heinrey

282
00:25:18,225 --> 00:25:19,977
COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE FOUNDING

283
00:25:20,060 --> 00:25:21,729
OF THE EMPIRE NEW YEAR'S CEREMONY
ADDITIONAL BUDGET DOCUMENT

284
00:27:04,998 --> 00:27:07,584
It is my honor to meet you,

285
00:27:08,502 --> 00:27:09,753
my queen

286
00:27:12,798 --> 00:27:16,093
I'm also honored to make
your acquaintance, Prince Heinrey

287
00:27:24,393 --> 00:27:26,603
You must be tired after your long journey

288
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:30,816
You should rest here in the palace
until the New Year's Ceremony begins

289
00:27:32,109 --> 00:27:34,987
The Eastern Empire's Imperial Palace
is renowned…

290
00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:37,239
for its great beauty

291
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:39,116
I'm certain you will like it

292
00:27:40,868 --> 00:27:41,869
I'm already…

293
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:44,913
enamored by it

294
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:02,306
Why are you staring so intently,
Your Highness?

295
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:04,474
Please avert your gaze

296
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:15,193
I'd like to welcome Princess Circe
of the Southern Kingdom

297
00:28:15,277 --> 00:28:18,447
and Grand Duke Kaufman
of the Kingdom of Luipt

298
00:28:35,797 --> 00:28:39,217
What has you so preoccupied,
Your Highness?

299
00:28:44,097 --> 00:28:45,098
Whoa!

300
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:46,850
This…

301
00:28:47,476 --> 00:28:49,353
Whoa!

302
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:50,854
Whoa!

303
00:28:50,938 --> 00:28:52,522
This palace is just…

304
00:28:52,606 --> 00:28:55,025
so huge and lavish!

305
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:57,027
Wow!

306
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:59,738
This… this is from that place!

307
00:28:59,821 --> 00:29:03,533
Wow, the Eastern Empire
really is a bunch of thieves

308
00:29:03,617 --> 00:29:06,203
taking the spoils from the war
and putting them on display

309
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:08,789
as if they had always belonged to them

310
00:29:08,872 --> 00:29:10,374
Isn't that too much?

311
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:11,750
Wow!

312
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:14,211
Don't you think so?

313
00:29:15,337 --> 00:29:16,880
… Your Highness?

314
00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:20,592
Your Highness!

315
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:23,053
Are you going off somewhere again?

316
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:31,228
I'll return soon

317
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:33,689
Where are you going?

318
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:36,233
There are too many eyes!

319
00:29:36,316 --> 00:29:38,026
Your Highness!

320
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,486
Where are you going?

321
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:42,322
Where are you… Seriously?

322
00:29:47,077 --> 00:29:48,912
You're coming back
from meeting the delegation

323
00:29:48,996 --> 00:29:50,122
of the Western Kingdom, aren't you?

324
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:52,082
Please, do tell them

325
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:54,126
Is he really as beautiful as they say?

326
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:57,254
I heard one of the maids
in the South Palace

327
00:29:57,337 --> 00:29:59,840
was so overwhelmed by his beauty
that she fainted

328
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:01,591
Oh, she fainted?

329
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:03,301
Oh!

330
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:04,928
Is he that beautiful?

331
00:30:11,226 --> 00:30:13,061
He was the most beautiful person

332
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,523
that I've ever met

333
00:30:16,606 --> 00:30:18,191
Such chiseled features!

334
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:21,695
His appearance made me question
if he was even human

335
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:24,781
Did it really?

336
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:28,493
… what's his voice like?

337
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:29,578
Yes?

338
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:34,666
Out of everyone I've spoken to…

339
00:30:36,877 --> 00:30:38,420
his voice was the most lovely

340
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:41,715
A man like that…

341
00:30:41,798 --> 00:30:44,426
I'm not at all surprised
that rumors surround him

342
00:30:45,302 --> 00:30:48,597
Even if he just stands quietly
and keeps to himself

343
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,515
Oh, he has a beautiful voice, too?

344
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:51,600
That's too much!

345
00:30:53,643 --> 00:30:55,604
I think we should be wary
of Prince Heinrey

346
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,397
He's very dangerous

347
00:30:57,481 --> 00:30:59,441
I mean, one maid fainted

348
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:02,652
And you must have heard
what happened to that other maid

349
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,408
Queen!

350
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,379
If he's responded so quickly,

351
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:24,674
then surely your master is almost here

352
00:31:27,677 --> 00:31:31,515
"I have arrived at the Imperial Palace
Can you guess who I am?"

353
00:31:32,933 --> 00:31:33,934
Wait, he's with you?

354
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:48,865
Where's your master?

355
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,075
Is he among those guests?

356
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:59,543
<i>I do not know who you are</i>

357
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:03,463
<i>But tell me, do you know who I am?</i>

358
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:15,517
- Come on, hurry up
- Yes, sir

359
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:17,102
Yes, over there

360
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:21,523
Please, it is so very late

361
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:23,650
Go to bed, Your Majesty

362
00:32:24,818 --> 00:32:27,028
I hope the rain ceases before the morning

363
00:32:29,072 --> 00:32:30,073
Come now

364
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:34,411
You are the one who must shine
the brightest in this palace,

365
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:35,912
so you cannot stay up late

366
00:32:42,711 --> 00:32:44,838
Is the South Palace comfortable
for the guests?

367
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,715
They are all in high spirits

368
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:49,467
and seem to have no intention
of calling it a night

369
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:51,469
They're still drinking, my lady

370
00:32:51,553 --> 00:32:53,638
- They are?
- What I've heard

371
00:32:53,722 --> 00:32:57,601
is the ladies are pining
so ardently over Prince Heinrey

372
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,686
They say they have formed ranks

373
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:01,396
Those who have exchanged words,

374
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:03,106
those who have made eye contact,

375
00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:04,691
and those he has smiled at

376
00:33:05,775 --> 00:33:09,070
I think what the ladies
really want to know is

377
00:33:09,154 --> 00:33:11,031
who the prince will dance with first

378
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:14,409
So which lady do you think is most likely?

379
00:33:15,202 --> 00:33:18,872
There are talks of Duchess Tuania,
others say Princess Circe

380
00:33:18,955 --> 00:33:20,498
There are divided opinions

381
00:33:20,582 --> 00:33:23,210
Although I'm sure
they're all thinking the same thing

382
00:33:23,293 --> 00:33:26,338
They all wish he'll walk over to them,

383
00:33:26,421 --> 00:33:28,381
take their hand and dance the night away

384
00:33:28,465 --> 00:33:29,716
What a dream!

385
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:35,013
Good night, Your Majesty

386
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:49,861
Oh, my goodness!

387
00:34:01,957 --> 00:34:03,166
Oh, good heavens!

388
00:34:04,209 --> 00:34:05,293
It's raining so hard

389
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:07,545
Did your master really make you fly here?

390
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:15,553
How long have you been waiting?

391
00:34:16,137 --> 00:34:17,180
Are you all right?

392
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:31,611
<i>"Shall we make a bet?
Whoever finds the other first wins!"</i>

393
00:34:48,670 --> 00:34:51,840
<i>"If it is a bet,
what will you wager?"</i>

394
00:35:04,227 --> 00:35:05,520
I cannot do this

395
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:08,148
I'm not sending you outside
in this weather

396
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:12,110
Why don't you stay here tonight?

397
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:17,198
You will return to your master
when it stops raining

398
00:35:37,636 --> 00:35:40,013
I find myself wondering
what your master's like

399
00:35:42,515 --> 00:35:44,392
Is he sweet and clever, like you?

400
00:35:49,397 --> 00:35:51,858
<i>Come to think of it, Prince Heinrey…</i>

401
00:35:52,442 --> 00:35:54,653
<i>He has eyes as purple as yours</i>

402
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:57,280
I'm already enamored by it

403
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:05,664
You are so pretty, Queen

404
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,002
Good night

405
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:50,143
Begin

406
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:54,773
Good!

407
00:37:54,856 --> 00:37:56,858
Very good so far

408
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:58,985
Slowly. That's it

409
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:00,445
Keep your balance

410
00:38:01,029 --> 00:38:02,405
Oh!

411
00:38:02,489 --> 00:38:03,615
Very good

412
00:38:03,698 --> 00:38:05,450
Now we'll try without the book

413
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:07,327
There. Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup

414
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:08,912
You need to walk slower

415
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:12,707
Like this?

416
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:14,751
That's right

417
00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:17,879
You should always be mindful
of the maids' strides

418
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:19,881
following behind you

419
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:23,051
Slowly, so the maids can follow…

420
00:38:23,134 --> 00:38:24,219
What are you doing?

421
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:26,262
No, don't match your stride to theirs

422
00:38:26,346 --> 00:38:27,430
If you aren't quick enough,

423
00:38:27,514 --> 00:38:29,015
then those lowly creatures
will step on your dress

424
00:38:29,098 --> 00:38:31,768
Then how exactly should I walk?

425
00:38:31,851 --> 00:38:33,561
They should match what I do

426
00:38:33,645 --> 00:38:34,896
You should walk in a way

427
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,440
that never lets those following you
relax at all

428
00:38:37,524 --> 00:38:40,568
That way, they never forget
that you are their mistress

429
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:42,737
This is hard!

430
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:44,447
Well, yes, it should be hard

431
00:38:44,531 --> 00:38:46,074
How are the writing lessons?

432
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:49,911
Reading is a little easier,

433
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:51,538
the writing is…

434
00:38:51,621 --> 00:38:54,290
Well then, it looks like
you will continue your lessons

435
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:56,042
during the New Year's Ceremony

436
00:38:56,668 --> 00:38:58,419
I'll be tired
after all the parties I'll attend

437
00:38:58,503 --> 00:38:59,796
Listen

438
00:38:59,879 --> 00:39:01,464
Relax your eyebrows. Shoulders straight

439
00:39:01,548 --> 00:39:02,966
Chest up, too

440
00:39:03,049 --> 00:39:04,092
Chin

441
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:05,635
Corners of your mouth

442
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:09,013
Next. Yes, your gaze

443
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:12,433
Well done

444
00:39:13,101 --> 00:39:14,310
Beautiful!

445
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:32,287
Now, ladies, a busy day of preparation
is ahead. Understood?

446
00:39:32,996 --> 00:39:35,957
Of course. We've begun
the preparations already, Countess

447
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:39,043
- Ta-da!
- Ta-da!

448
00:40:33,473 --> 00:40:34,724
Countess?

449
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:37,727
Do you think Rashta
will also be at the ceremony?

450
00:40:37,810 --> 00:40:39,729
I suppose she will attend

451
00:40:39,812 --> 00:40:41,397
As the girl is now…

452
00:40:41,481 --> 00:40:43,691
a daughter of the Botulin House

453
00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:47,153
His Majesty the Emperor
and Her Majesty the Empress

454
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:47,755
As you know, I played a part
in the war of a Hundred Years

455
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:50,341
I loyally followed my predecessor

456
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:53,052
It was so cold that even
the strongest liquor froze

457
00:41:54,971 --> 00:41:56,889
The horses turned to ice in death

458
00:41:56,973 --> 00:41:57,974
The frost…

459
00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:01,269
rendered the bread impossible to chew

460
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:03,771
The cold armor
clung to our skin so tightly

461
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:05,648
that we could not even prize it off

462
00:42:05,732 --> 00:42:08,651
<i>The cold armor
clung to our skin so tightly</i>

463
00:42:08,735 --> 00:42:10,820
<i>that we could not even prize it off,</i>

464
00:42:11,487 --> 00:42:16,284
<i>and only the hot blood of our enemies
could melt away the biting cold</i>

465
00:42:17,702 --> 00:42:19,704
And only the hot blood
of our enemies

466
00:42:19,787 --> 00:42:21,789
could melt away the biting cold

467
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:25,293
When the Hundred Years' War ended,

468
00:42:26,169 --> 00:42:27,420
peace fell upon us all

469
00:42:28,004 --> 00:42:29,338
And yet,

470
00:42:29,422 --> 00:42:32,884
our swords and our shields,
they have not rusted at all

471
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:34,302
This peace eternal

472
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:38,389
can only be protected by readied armor
and a blade that shines

473
00:42:39,182 --> 00:42:41,809
A blade that is ready to be drawn
at any moment

474
00:42:41,893 --> 00:42:43,019
And I…

475
00:42:43,102 --> 00:42:44,937
will preserve and defend our empire

476
00:42:45,021 --> 00:42:48,816
and we shall see that
this strength and peace lasts

477
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:50,943
for 10,000 years

478
00:42:56,324 --> 00:42:58,326
I share this glory with you

479
00:43:12,632 --> 00:43:13,633
Join me!

480
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:16,260
Long live His Majesty the Emperor!

481
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:17,386
The Emperor!

482
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:21,307
Long live Her Majesty the Empress!
The Empress!

483
00:43:34,487 --> 00:43:37,073
It has been a long time, Lady Albani

484
00:43:37,156 --> 00:43:38,825
- Lady Albani!
- Good to see you

485
00:43:38,908 --> 00:43:40,827
Nice to meet you

486
00:44:03,933 --> 00:44:06,060
I was hoping I could dance
with Rashta first

487
00:44:07,854 --> 00:44:10,314
After all, our only rehearsal
was to this piece

488
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:14,443
I'll see you later

489
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:16,362
Your Majesty

490
00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:42,555
What do we do?

491
00:45:08,414 --> 00:45:10,541
She seems to be following
what she was taught well

492
00:45:10,625 --> 00:45:12,543
What a clever little thing

493
00:45:28,893 --> 00:45:29,894
Majesty

494
00:46:26,325 --> 00:46:27,326
It's all right

495
00:46:28,244 --> 00:46:29,787
Like this

496
00:47:01,777 --> 00:47:02,778
McKenna

497
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:05,448
What's with the flower?

498
00:47:09,076 --> 00:47:11,662
There are many eyes watching here

499
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:29,615
My goodness!

500
00:48:32,201 --> 00:48:33,744
For the Empress?

501
00:48:44,755 --> 00:48:47,508
Are you a good dancer, Your Majesty?

502
00:48:59,145 --> 00:49:01,397
THE REMARRIED EMPRESS
