{\an8}THE REMARRIED EMPRESS

00:00:48,674 --> 00:00:51,385
[noble 1] Don't you think
Prince Heinrey is so dashing?
5
00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:57,933
[exhales]

00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,398
[♪ bright music playing]
7
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:23,875
[Rashta] Your Highness, I heard
that you've searched ardently.
8
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:27,254
I am the secret pen pal
you've been writing to.
9
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,341
Your "lost fate", and you found me now.
10
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:34,886
[crowd clapping]
11
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:57,284
[♪ music fades]
12
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:06,793
So, you say…
13
00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:08,795
you're my correspondent?
14
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:10,464
[chuckles softly] Yes.
15
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:14,676
Prove it to me.
16
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:20,641
You're suspicious, aren't you?
17
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:24,061
Yes, with good reason too.
18
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,605
This is someone
who is very precious to me.
19
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:33,362
If you really are that person,
I would be happy.
20
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:36,531
But if you are not that person,
21
00:02:37,449 --> 00:02:39,868
there would be consequences
for disappointing me.
22
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,704
What exactly might you do?
23
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:48,752
Who can say?
24
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,338
Do not think about that.
25
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:54,257
That will never occur with us in any case.
26
00:02:57,344 --> 00:02:59,930
Since I shall prove to you
that I was indeed
27
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,598
behind those letters.
28
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,269
Only we know the bird is our messenger.
29
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:07,646
That is a secret.
30
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:10,482
It is only me
31
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:12,609
and you, the prince,
32
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,361
who know the bird has a name.
33
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,613
[noble 2] What is the bird's name?
34
00:03:18,657 --> 00:03:19,658
It is Queen.
35
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:23,453
That bird's noble feathers appealed to me,
36
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:26,164
so Rashta was the one
who personally named it.
37
00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:27,541
Queen.
38
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:40,095
The name is correct.
39
00:03:41,972 --> 00:03:42,973
Queen.
40
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,267
[crowd cheering and clapping]
41
00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:13,003
[Rashta] Where is Queen now?
42
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,755
[chuckles] I'm sure he's near you.
43
00:04:18,341 --> 00:04:19,718
Queen!
44
00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:21,595
Queen! Where are you?
45
00:04:22,387 --> 00:04:23,889
Come out and see us!
46
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:26,391
[in singsong] Rashta is here!
47
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:28,268
-[laughs]
-Come on out here!
48
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:30,395
Queen!
49
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:31,730
Where are you?
50
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,274
Come out and see me!
51
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:36,735
[scoffs softly]
52
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:44,868
I did not wish to offend.
I had to confirm it was you.
53
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:47,496
You were seeking someone
who's very dear to you.
54
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,835
It took much courage for Rashta,
who is the Emperor's woman,
55
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:56,296
to seek you out
while everyone is watching.
56
00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:00,133
I've waited for this.
57
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:04,137
I wanted very much for us to meet.
58
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:10,310
[crowd clapping and cheering]
59
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,992
That sly fox. She has no shame, does she?
60
00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:27,369
It's that Rashta again.
61
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:28,620
She's claiming that she's the one
62
00:05:28,703 --> 00:05:31,248
who is exchanging secret letters
with Prince Heinrey.
63
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:33,083
Oh goodness.
64
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,627
Your Majesty, only you can put this right.
65
00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:38,421
You should expose her lies
and humiliate her so thoroughly
66
00:05:38,505 --> 00:05:40,841
that she won't be able
to show her face again.
67
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:42,008
[door closes]
68
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:44,636
There's more to this.
69
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:48,765
The content of those letters
was private and personal.
70
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,853
So how could Rashta know it?
71
00:05:53,562 --> 00:05:54,855
[gasps]
72
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:02,779
My apologies.
73
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,698
I will bring the source to light
74
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:06,408
and punish the spy.
75
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:08,118
I shall restore discipline, my lady.
76
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,123
Ah! [giggling]
77
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:15,208
-[Cherini] This way!
-Where are you?
78
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:16,543
-Where?
-I'm here!
79
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:18,837
-[Rashta] Here?
-[Cherini] Here, over here!
80
00:06:19,421 --> 00:06:21,131
-Go on, yes!
-[Rashta] Where are you?
81
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:22,340
[Cherini] Aw! He moved!
82
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:24,467
-[Kisia] Quick, she's coming for us!
-Where are you? Here?
83
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,011
[Rashta grunts]
84
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:27,804
Oh! Oh.
85
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,681
Oh.
86
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:32,225
Are you hurt?
87
00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:34,352
Your hand.
88
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,025
There! I beat you!
89
00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:42,402
-[Rashta giggles]
-Get up.
90
00:06:42,485 --> 00:06:44,905
-[Kisia and Cherini clapping]
-Here, I'll help you.
91
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:46,531
[laughs] I beat you!
92
00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:48,617
I caught you.
93
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:49,993
[Heinrey and Rashta laughing]
94
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:51,494
[sighs frustratedly]
95
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:53,538
-[Kisia] Where are you going?
-[Cherini] Come over here!
96
00:06:53,622 --> 00:06:55,373
[Kisia] Come around it! Come this way!
97
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:56,875
-[Rashta laughing]
-Careful!
98
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,085
[laughs mockingly, imitates Rashta]
"I beat you."
99
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:00,587
-[Kisia] This way!
-[Cherini] Here we are!
100
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:01,838
[Kisia] Go on, get her!
101
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:02,922
[sighs]
102
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:10,305
How's this?
103
00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:11,765
[Kisia] You'd look so beautiful,
as always.
104
00:07:11,848 --> 00:07:13,725
-[door opens]
-[Cherini] Ms. Rashta!
105
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:15,518
[chuckling]
106
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:18,229
Just look how many invitations
people have sent you!
107
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,861
I think everyone
is talking about you today.
108
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:27,489
They are all saying
that there's no competition,
109
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:29,908
and there's no one
as dazzling as you this New Year!
110
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:31,034
[squeals]
111
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:33,620
Our banquet needs a larger venue.
Don't you think?
112
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:34,704
Absolutely.
113
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:36,581
More than 100 people will come.
114
00:07:36,665 --> 00:07:38,500
Well, I must tell Lady Albani, then.
115
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:41,836
Throw these away.
116
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,214
They're just petty gatherings.
117
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,591
I'll be far too busy
with all the important parties.
118
00:07:46,675 --> 00:07:47,842
Of course. [gasps]
119
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:48,927
Ah.
120
00:07:49,761 --> 00:07:51,763
Can you please tell us
about Prince Heinrey?
121
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:54,349
-He seems lovely.
-You two look so wonderful together.
122
00:07:54,432 --> 00:07:56,309
-It's true! [chuckles]
-Really?
123
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:58,186
Given what's happened…
124
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:01,356
I think you should take him as a lover.
125
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:06,569
Can the Emperor's lady
make a conquest of her own?
126
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,156
More to the point, who would know?
127
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,741
[giggles]
128
00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:15,954
[Cherini and Kisia giggling]
129
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:20,125
What should we do with the present
that came with the invitation?
130
00:08:20,208 --> 00:08:21,459
A present, you say?
131
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:27,006
-[Kisia] Ta-da!
-[Cherini] It's a beautiful carpet!
132
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:28,174
[chuckles]
133
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:29,509
But where are the jewels?
134
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:31,678
It looks expensive.
135
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:34,389
And a real high-quality item
for sure. [chuckles]
136
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:37,308
-You have it.
-Mmm. Me?
137
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:41,354
I would say you deserve a reward
for all your hard work with the letters.
138
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:42,689
Oh! [chuckles]
139
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:44,357
Thank you, Ms. Rashta, truly!
140
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:45,942
In return,
141
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,819
you must find out even more now.
142
00:08:48,403 --> 00:08:50,155
I want to know everything that's written.
143
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:53,241
Also, bring any information
on the Empress' life.
144
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:54,701
But stay discreet.
145
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:58,288
Kisia, the same goes for you.
146
00:08:58,371 --> 00:08:59,664
Hear this.
147
00:09:01,332 --> 00:09:02,709
Stay faithful to me.
148
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:05,253
I'll be even more generous
if you stay loyal.
149
00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:06,713
Yes, I will, Ms. Rashta.
150
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:07,881
[door opens]
151
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:10,216
[gasps] Majesty!
152
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,010
[giggling]
153
00:09:15,513 --> 00:09:17,724
Mmm. I missed you so much.
154
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:21,102
-You have something to say?
-[door closes]
155
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:25,607
You've been listening to the rumors, then?
Have you?
156
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:27,484
[sighs]
157
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,653
I tried to tell you about it first,
Your Majesty.
158
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,364
-[groans softly]
-I did go to your palace yesterday.
159
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:35,158
And again this morning.
160
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:37,494
[scoffs]
161
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:42,916
Everyone in the palace prefers talking
to Her Majesty the Empress.
162
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:45,418
Rashta was feeling lonely.
163
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:48,421
Nobody wants anything to do with Rashta.
164
00:09:48,505 --> 00:09:50,006
I just wanted a friend.
165
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,175
It was nice even just by letter.
166
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,263
With a foreign royal?
167
00:09:57,347 --> 00:10:00,100
But I would have preferred it
much, much more
168
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:01,351
to spend time with you.
169
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:03,394
[scoffs]
170
00:10:04,813 --> 00:10:06,231
Well, then,
171
00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:09,317
did those blasted letters
bring you some comfort
172
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,069
in your lonely palace life?
173
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,113
You're all I need.
174
00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:14,823
My comfort is you, Your Majesty.
175
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:19,494
Your Majesty is my sunshine
176
00:10:19,577 --> 00:10:20,787
and my big joy…
177
00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:22,831
and salvation.
178
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,292
-[clicks tongue]
-Oh!
179
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,294
[chuckles softly]
180
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:29,587
Cute.
181
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:32,132
Cute as can be.
182
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:35,301
You're even more cute when you're sulking.
183
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:38,012
Cute when you're being jealous.
184
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,349
-The cutest man.
-[both chuckle]
185
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:43,476
Rashta has one request.
186
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,979
I have heard
there's another banquet arranged.
187
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,356
Rashta would like you
to bring her, please.
188
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:49,649
Since this one is special,
189
00:10:49,732 --> 00:10:52,235
and all the most important people
will be there.
190
00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:53,945
If you know all of that,
191
00:10:54,028 --> 00:10:56,322
then you should also know
that you're not allowed to attend.
192
00:10:56,406 --> 00:10:57,949
If you take me,
193
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,869
I won't be forced to ask Prince Heinrey
to take me instead.
194
00:11:00,952 --> 00:11:02,328
[sucks teeth]
195
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:03,955
[exclaims] Aw!
196
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:06,791
Please take me with you. Mm.
197
00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:13,131
They are calling it
"The rediscovery of Ms. Rashta."
198
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:14,799
Her commoner-like cheerfulness.
199
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:17,594
{\an8}And, of course, the praise for her looks
goes without saying!
200
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:19,596
What else did they say?
201
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,349
"She's as innocent as a baby
and a total angel."
202
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,560
Ha! What a joke.
203
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:27,562
[exhales]
204
00:11:28,313 --> 00:11:30,356
So, why on earth
are you letting her fool you?
205
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,482
What is it?
206
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:33,401
Why are you doing this?
207
00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:35,695
Her blatant lies
haven't pushed you over the edge?
208
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:37,655
It's party to party with her on your arm.
209
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:41,075
Why are you escorting her around
and raising her value like that?
210
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,828
-Her happiness, that's why.
-What?
211
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:46,998
I'll indulge her and let her prance around
to her heart's content.
212
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:52,420
Then my next move,
when she is perfectly at ease…
213
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,349
You are such a sly, devious person.
214
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:05,642
Are you aware of that?
215
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,519
I very clearly warned that woman.
216
00:12:08,603 --> 00:12:10,104
Enough is enough.
217
00:12:10,188 --> 00:12:12,857
I told her if she lied,
my anger would be severe.
218
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:14,567
She has to pay the price.
219
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:19,155
The price
220
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,491
for exploiting a prince
to grow her status.
221
00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:25,912
The price…
222
00:12:26,371 --> 00:12:28,456
for daring to act the "Queen".
223
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:38,132
What is the order of entrance?
224
00:12:38,216 --> 00:12:39,676
Grand Duke Kaufman of Luipt,
225
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,387
Princess Circe,
Prince Heinrey of the Western Kingdom,
226
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:44,222
then Grand Prince Sirim of Bohemia.
227
00:12:44,305 --> 00:12:45,974
The Grand Duke will be in blue-green,
228
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:48,059
Prince Heinrey will be dressed in white,
229
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:50,061
and Emperor Sovieshu in black.
230
00:12:50,144 --> 00:12:53,189
Shall we prepare black for you as well,
to match His Majesty?
231
00:12:55,650 --> 00:12:58,861
Could I select something for you to wear?
232
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:02,490
Simple and elegant.
233
00:13:09,872 --> 00:13:11,874
[♪ light music playing]
234
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:35,315
[guard] Her Majesty the Empress,
Navier Ellie Trovi, is entering.
235
00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:44,240
[Rashta] The bird was just so lovely,
and that's why I named it Queen.
236
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:46,242
-[Heinrey] Really?
-[both chuckling]
237
00:13:47,076 --> 00:13:48,119
Sist…
238
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:49,203
Ah.
239
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:52,248
Your Majesty.
240
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,385
Your Majesty, you've come at last.
241
00:14:12,143 --> 00:14:13,936
[sighs frustratedly] "Sister"?
242
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:15,063
Uh…
243
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:17,690
You know what I really think?
244
00:14:17,774 --> 00:14:20,276
She's far too old to be my big sister.
245
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:21,569
[both laughing]
246
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:26,491
It's an honor to be seated next to you,
Your Majesty.
247
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:32,288
Were you surprised?
248
00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:34,332
Actually, I'm impressed.
249
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:36,959
I had thought I would be the most stylish…
250
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,878
and then I saw you, Princess Circe.
251
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:43,508
I'm afraid Grand Duke Kaufman
won't even meet my eyes
252
00:14:43,591 --> 00:14:45,176
because of what I'm wearing.
253
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:49,180
In Luipt, it is considered extremely rude
for a lady to wear trousers.
254
00:14:49,263 --> 00:14:51,641
It's seen to be
an act of great disrespect.
255
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:53,184
I wear trousers when hunting.
256
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:54,310
They're comfortable.
257
00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:56,479
Customs vary between kingdoms.
258
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:57,980
[Rashta] What on earth is wisteria?
259
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:00,483
-[snorts]
-[both laughing]
260
00:15:01,818 --> 00:15:04,695
In my country,
if a man's lover ever approached his wife,
261
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:06,823
she would be executed immediately.
262
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:07,907
[chuckles softly]
263
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:10,493
[chuckles]
264
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,745
[footsteps approaching]
265
00:15:26,717 --> 00:15:29,720
Ms. Rashta's new necklace
is perfectly beautiful.
266
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,015
I heard it was a gift
from you, Your Majesty.
267
00:15:34,058 --> 00:15:35,268
Really?
268
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:40,481
Yes. Ms. Rashta told us so.
269
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:43,651
That you sent it as a gift
to mark her entering the palace.
270
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,655
That Your Majesty cares for
and cherishes her like family.
271
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:52,994
She's mistaken.
272
00:15:53,077 --> 00:15:54,912
I did not send her anything.
273
00:15:54,996 --> 00:15:56,873
-Ms. Rashta is confused.
-Ah…
274
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:58,666
This is surely a misunderstanding.
275
00:15:58,749 --> 00:16:00,418
[Heinrey] Are you sure you are my pen pal?
276
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,670
-I hope you are not lying to me.
-Yes, a misunderstanding.
277
00:16:02,753 --> 00:16:04,172
[Rashta] What do you mean, lying?
278
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,136
Prince Heinrey, why such rudeness?
279
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:11,554
I don't believe I'm rude.
280
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,973
It is Rashta who has been rude.
281
00:16:14,056 --> 00:16:16,684
I told you to be careful with your words.
282
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:20,646
Your mistress
should be equally careful with hers.
283
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:22,023
Mistress?
284
00:16:22,106 --> 00:16:23,649
[both] Mistress?
285
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:30,448
Rashta did plainly tell you
she was a little lost.
286
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:34,827
Might she not have just forgotten
a trivial letter?
287
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:38,039
Heinrey explained it to her plainly.
288
00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:40,249
One could forget a letter's contents,
289
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:43,085
but one cannot forget the very town
they were born in.
290
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:45,796
[dinging]
291
00:16:47,215 --> 00:16:48,507
Everyone!
292
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:51,969
Ms. Rashta claimed she was the one
who exchanged letters with me,
293
00:16:52,053 --> 00:16:53,471
and I believed it was true.
294
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:56,724
After all, a woman
who is loved by His Majesty
295
00:16:56,807 --> 00:16:59,227
surely possesses a character
worthy of that love.
296
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:01,270
I believed she was trustworthy.
297
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:04,732
Today, I wanted to speak to her
about their contents,
298
00:17:04,815 --> 00:17:06,275
so we discussed them.
299
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:09,737
And my letters were not written by her.
300
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:15,201
A fake.
301
00:17:17,954 --> 00:17:19,288
That's enough now.
302
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:20,373
Stop, Prince Heinrey.
303
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:21,958
Ah…
304
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:24,752
I would have settled this quietly.
305
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:26,963
Your Majesty chose not to keep it private.
306
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:30,174
Is it not considered chivalrous
to defend your woman,
307
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:32,051
more so when she's defenseless?
308
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,053
If the chivalry of the Western Kingdom
309
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:37,348
means treating a young woman so harshly
over some letters
310
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:38,891
that don't even matter…
311
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:40,643
I wouldn't say any more on this.
312
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:45,690
I, too, want to defend a young lady
who has been unfairly misused.
313
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:48,859
Although, of course, the one
being impersonated may not be a woman,
314
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,488
I might even be a man.
315
00:17:56,909 --> 00:18:00,413
How can you be so cruel?
Rashta has never been a fake.
316
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:03,583
What would be the reason for me to lie?
317
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
It's Heinrey who won't leave it alone.
318
00:18:05,543 --> 00:18:08,170
He's trying to twist things
so I look like a liar.
319
00:18:09,797 --> 00:18:12,091
Well, I think I've worked out
why you're doing this.
320
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:13,175
I think it's…
321
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,095
because Rashta's not a highborn lady.
322
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:17,888
Not refined, like you wanted.
323
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:20,933
So you're deliberately
distancing yourself. [sobs]
324
00:18:21,017 --> 00:18:24,145
Was the friendship that you showed Rashta
until this point all a lie?
325
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,188
Is that true?
326
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:33,195
[exhales]
327
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:36,991
Ms. Rashta…
328
00:18:43,706 --> 00:18:46,459
out of the countless people
I have come across,
329
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,544
you're by far the most brazen.
330
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:53,716
I ask you, for the sake of our friendship,
331
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,343
don't say such things, please.
332
00:18:55,426 --> 00:18:57,511
They hurt Rashta! [sobbing loudly]
333
00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:09,190
[Rashta continues sobbing]
334
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:15,029
I planned to remain silent.
335
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:19,116
Misunderstandings have arisen.
336
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:21,577
So I believe I must set them right.
337
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:23,746
Your Majesty…
338
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:29,877
I happen to know
who wrote Prince Heinrey those letters.
339
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,587
I know with whom he corresponds.
340
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,594
Rashta is not that person.
341
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:46,477
[sighs heavily]
342
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:49,730
None of this is your concern.
343
00:19:50,731 --> 00:19:52,400
Just because you dislike Rashta,
344
00:19:53,067 --> 00:19:56,237
you don't need to support the prince
or become involved.
345
00:19:56,821 --> 00:19:59,073
The truth must always be respected.
346
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:02,243
[Heinrey] It seems that Ms. Rashta
can only speak the truth
347
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:04,704
according to His Majesty the Emperor.
348
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:07,498
[♪ tense music playing]
349
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:12,878
It must be maddening, Your Majesty.
350
00:20:12,962 --> 00:20:13,963
What a pity.
351
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:21,053
[♪ music intensifies]
352
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:30,271
[chair thuds loudly]
353
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,064
[♪ music fades]
354
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,737
You've pushed this too far.
355
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:40,030
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
356
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:44,910
[grunts softly]
357
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:04,722
So, Heinrey…
358
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:08,350
for tainting my lady's reputation…
359
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:12,021
I challenge you to a duel.
360
00:21:14,815 --> 00:21:15,816
[both] A duel?
361
00:21:18,819 --> 00:21:19,820
[door opens]
362
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:22,072
Ma… Majesty!
363
00:21:22,156 --> 00:21:25,367
Get out! Get out, quickly!
Move it! Get out of here!
364
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:34,794
Shoo! Get out, now!
365
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:36,420
I said get out!
366
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:44,970
[exhales]
367
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:53,604
If I did manage to kill you,
368
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:56,023
would I get out of here alive?
369
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:01,529
[clinks]
370
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,997
[♪ suspenseful music continues playing]
371
00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:19,171
If I would walk free, then I accept.
372
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:21,882
Too much talk.
373
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:40,985

Oh no!

[♪ dramatic music playing]
390
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,369
You're just like children.
391
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,787
It's absurd!
392
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,456
Do you think this behavior is justified?
393
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:20,834
[exhales]
394
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:22,294
A duel?
395
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:25,589
Oh, how foolish you must be.
396
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:29,259
If either of you were to be killed,
397
00:24:29,343 --> 00:24:31,095
a great war would begin.
398
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:35,391
Imagine… the pain and suffering
it would cause.
399
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,393
Thousands of your subjects' lives
400
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:39,770
hang in the balance
between men and their swordplay.
401
00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:45,192
Is your pride worth so much?
402
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:50,489
Please do not forget yourself.
403
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:53,701
I know your correspondent
would not approve.
404
00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:55,452
For the sake of that friendship…
405
00:24:56,245 --> 00:24:57,246
stop this.
406
00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:14,763
It has been a memorable evening.
407
00:25:16,265 --> 00:25:17,808
[chuckles softly]
408
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:20,394
I hope there's time tomorrow
for us to speak again.
409
00:25:21,270 --> 00:25:23,856
So do I.
I'll find a good time for us to meet.
410
00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:29,945
The most joyous aspect of this year,
411
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,447
aside from the celebrations,
412
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,032
is finding you, Princess.
413
00:25:33,115 --> 00:25:35,909
I agree.
It looks as though we think alike.
414
00:25:35,993 --> 00:25:37,661
Here's to friendship, then.
415
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:44,668
[Rashta] Do come back and have fun
with Rashta again tomorrow.
416
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,433
I will just wait here
so I can return with His Majesty.
417
00:26:07,858 --> 00:26:08,859
Rashta.
418
00:26:09,902 --> 00:26:10,903
Yes?
419
00:26:21,288 --> 00:26:23,290
Why have you fabricated stories
420
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:25,375
claiming that I sent gifts to you?
421
00:26:25,459 --> 00:26:26,668
What is your motivation?
422
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:28,962
They're not fabricated.
423
00:26:29,046 --> 00:26:30,047
You know that it's true.
424
00:26:30,130 --> 00:26:32,382
Did you really think
that I would play along with this?
425
00:26:32,466 --> 00:26:34,760
Rashta didn't lie
about the necklace, though.
426
00:26:35,385 --> 00:26:38,430
Perhaps you have forgotten,
you sent it to me as a welcome present
427
00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:40,140
for becoming mistress.
428
00:26:40,224 --> 00:26:41,767
[Sovieshu] What's all this?
429
00:26:41,850 --> 00:26:43,393
[Rashta] Your Majesty.
430
00:26:45,521 --> 00:26:47,815
I'm only asking
about the rumors I've heard.
431
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:51,652
In this instance, a pearl necklace
that was not a gift from me.
432
00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:53,195
Did you ask Rashta personally?
433
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:54,822
Who else should I ask, Your Majesty?
434
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:58,700
It would be easier to merely let it pass.
435
00:26:58,784 --> 00:27:01,203
No, I'm not willing to let it pass.
436
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:02,830
My name is being misused.
437
00:27:03,497 --> 00:27:05,040
Majesty, it wasn't me.
438
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:06,875
I… I didn't lie.
439
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:10,712
Do not question Rashta further.
440
00:27:10,796 --> 00:27:11,797
It is my doing.
441
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,466
I was the one who sent the gift
to Rashta in your name.
442
00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:18,428
Your Majesty… you sent it?
443
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,390
[Navier] If this really is your doing,
444
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,934
may I ask Your Majesty's intentions then?
445
00:27:25,561 --> 00:27:27,479
Even if you are an emperor,
446
00:27:27,563 --> 00:27:30,691
you must not use another person's name
falsely as you please.
447
00:27:31,775 --> 00:27:32,901
Is that not so?
448
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:34,736
Your Majesty?
449
00:27:38,282 --> 00:27:40,492
Do you really have to ask
these questions now?
450
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:41,743
Yes.
451
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:44,413
I must hold you to account
452
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:45,747
because you have confessed.
453
00:27:49,251 --> 00:27:50,460
I'd like you to apologize now.
454
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:52,212
You'd like what?
455
00:27:52,296 --> 00:27:54,464
I have been used quite unjustly.
456
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:56,174
Is that so hard?
457
00:27:58,051 --> 00:27:59,052
[scoffs]
458
00:28:08,061 --> 00:28:09,438
I apologize, then.
459
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,526
What you said
made Rashta start spreading rumors.
460
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:16,737
Your Majesty is accountable too.
461
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,780
You should correct this false information.
462
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:21,241
Are you serious?
463
00:28:21,325 --> 00:28:23,744
Are you worried
that it could hurt your dignity?
464
00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:26,955
No matter the damage you've caused to me.
465
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,042
If a necklace of pearls
leaves your dignity damaged,
466
00:28:30,751 --> 00:28:33,295
then it must be as brittle
as a foundation of ice.
467
00:28:33,962 --> 00:28:35,213
That could be.
468
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:37,549
Even if that is so,
it does not acquit you,
469
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:40,469
because correcting this
should be just as trivial.
470
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,555
I'm asking you.
Please do this with no more delay.
471
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:46,391
This was something
you should have done, Navier.
472
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:48,769
Is making a gesture with your name
so distasteful?
473
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:50,604
-Yes.
-[gasps softly]
474
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:53,899
How very narrow-minded.
475
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:55,651
You have changed.
476
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:57,611
Now you have heard my case.
477
00:29:01,782 --> 00:29:03,951
Give me my due respect…
478
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:06,078
Sovieshu.
479
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:07,663
[chuckles]
480
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:29,851
Majesty, I'm all right,
so there's nothing to worry about now.
481
00:29:29,935 --> 00:29:31,019
Let's go.
482
00:29:33,689 --> 00:29:34,731
I'm feeling tired.
483
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:37,234
You go on your own.
484
00:29:47,244 --> 00:29:49,246
[footsteps receding]
485
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:54,334
[whistles]
486
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,631
[Heinrey] Hmm?
487
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:00,882
Let's go.
488
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:03,010
What has just happened?
489
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:05,095
It sounded
like a real ruckus in there earlier.
490
00:30:05,178 --> 00:30:07,431
You didn't cause any trouble,
did you, Your Highness?
491
00:30:07,514 --> 00:30:08,724
No, not me. Sovieshu.
492
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:10,183
-Sovieshu?
-Sovieshu.
493
00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:11,476
-Sovieshu.
-Tsk, tsk, tsk.
494
00:30:17,691 --> 00:30:18,984
[breathes deeply]
495
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:22,195
Ah!
496
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:24,865
[Albani] I was so busy
preparing for your party
497
00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:26,867
that I was unable to visit
the palace this week.
498
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:28,785
Good heavens!
499
00:30:28,869 --> 00:30:30,579
So you went and caused trouble?
500
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:31,747
Why on earth did you do it?
501
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,874
[groans] But it was for my party.
502
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:36,334
I was scared no one would come
and it would all be ruined.
503
00:30:36,418 --> 00:30:37,502
[gasps]
504
00:30:38,045 --> 00:30:40,172
If it hadn't been for that Prince Heinrey…
505
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:43,175
Should we still hold our event?
506
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:45,385
Cancel it.
507
00:30:46,094 --> 00:30:48,430
Donate the food and gifts
we bought for it in Rashta's name
508
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:49,765
to the new home for orphans.
509
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,099
And Ms. Rashta,
510
00:30:51,183 --> 00:30:52,976
the party's over for you this time.
511
00:30:53,060 --> 00:30:55,479
Banquets, outings, and games
are all paused.
512
00:30:56,313 --> 00:30:57,773
You will stay in seclusion!
513
00:30:57,856 --> 00:30:58,899
Oh no!
514
00:30:58,982 --> 00:30:59,983
Not that!
515
00:31:00,067 --> 00:31:01,401
[Albani groans frustratedly]
516
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:04,863
If anyone here is allowed to be upset,
it should be me and not you, girl!
517
00:31:05,739 --> 00:31:06,990
[grunts frustratedly]
518
00:31:07,074 --> 00:31:11,411
You will not survive in high society
if you're known for lying to people.
519
00:31:12,037 --> 00:31:13,288
Luckily for you,
520
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:16,166
I will start the hard work needed
to renew your image,
521
00:31:16,249 --> 00:31:17,667
with the aid of our allies.
522
00:31:17,751 --> 00:31:19,836
Meanwhile, hold onto His Majesty's heart…
523
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,380
since it must not slip away.
524
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:26,551
Do you know
who the most fickle person here is
525
00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:27,636
in this kingdom?
526
00:31:28,303 --> 00:31:29,304
It's Sovieshu.
527
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:32,015
That family's been fickle for generations.
528
00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:34,309
Their bloodline is all the same.
529
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,479
Changeable as a weathervane
blown about by the breeze.
530
00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:39,106
And insatiable too.
531
00:31:40,107 --> 00:31:41,608
All those heads…
532
00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:44,986
parted so easily from their bodies
under the old king.
533
00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:46,780
So many died.
534
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:48,573
But why were they killed?
535
00:31:49,032 --> 00:31:50,033
Were they guilty?
536
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,206
Listen to me.
537
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:58,959
Just one person can save you
from all this.
538
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:01,128

{\an8}FIND THE WAY AND CLAIM THE TREASURE!
545
00:32:20,355 --> 00:32:22,983
Maid Annie was the perpetrator,
Your Majesty.
546
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:27,320
A pity.
547
00:32:28,446 --> 00:32:30,448
I expect she gave in
because of her father's debts.
548
00:32:31,241 --> 00:32:32,701
You already suspected?
549
00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:34,995
[Annie] At the start,
550
00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:38,832
I only shared it
because it was an amusing story.
551
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:42,085
But when they gave me money for it…
552
00:32:42,836 --> 00:32:44,921
that's when I started to think
553
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:47,090
that what I had done was bad.
554
00:32:47,757 --> 00:32:49,009

[coins jingle]
556
00:32:52,929 --> 00:32:55,390
[Eliza] Her Majesty is giving you this
for you to move away.
557
00:32:57,893 --> 00:32:59,269
You cannot be here.
558
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:00,687
Hide from your father.
559
00:33:00,770 --> 00:33:02,606
Take your son and live quietly.
560
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,065
[Annie sobbing]
561
00:33:05,859 --> 00:33:08,236
{\an8}[Sirim] The treasure lies
where fire and water meet,
562
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,113
and there stands a lighthouse.
563
00:33:10,197 --> 00:33:12,199
Find and bring back the two eyes
564
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:14,618
that shine upon the world
from that lighthouse.
565
00:33:17,704 --> 00:33:19,748
[♪ majestic orchestral music playing]
566
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:25,587
[Lady Sirim] Those of you
who picked the same animal,
567
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:27,380
please pair up together.
568
00:33:27,923 --> 00:33:29,883
[chattering indistinctly]
569
00:33:36,097 --> 00:33:37,599
[Laura gasps] It's a dragon.
570
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:40,101
Uh, who's got a dragon?
571
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:41,853
Dragon over here!
572
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:45,315
-Who could it be?
-[Verdi] Maybe no one else has one.
573
00:33:58,912 --> 00:34:00,997
I heard you have the dragon?
574
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:04,751
You too?
575
00:34:09,923 --> 00:34:11,299
[both laugh softly]
576
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:15,262
[Sirim] If everyone
has found their partner,
577
00:34:15,345 --> 00:34:16,596
I declare the treasure hunt…
578
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,764
[both] Open!
579
00:34:17,847 --> 00:34:19,516
[horn blowing]
580
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,688
I think Circe's a wonderful person.
581
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:30,527
I'm afraid
she has a difficult journey ahead.
582
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:32,779
She will be inheriting
her country's throne.
583
00:34:34,531 --> 00:34:37,826
Your Majesty, you know everything
that's going on in the world.
584
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:41,329
Shall we gallop as well?
585
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:46,376
Hyah!
586
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:48,211
[♪ pleasant music playing]
587
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:21,953
My scarf blew off in the wind.
588
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:29,961
Use this to secure it.
589
00:35:34,424 --> 00:35:35,800
It's one of Queen's feathers.
590
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:37,677
It has so many uses.
591
00:35:38,595 --> 00:35:40,263
It works for sewing too.
592
00:35:40,347 --> 00:35:41,973
But also as a weapon.
593
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:44,559
And a quill for letters.
594
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:49,147
When you heard I was writing to you,
595
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:51,441
I hope you weren't disappointed.
596
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:57,656
I was overjoyed.
597
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:02,118
Your Majesty, I'm so glad it was you.
598
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:04,746
I really mean it.
599
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:08,833
How did you know…
600
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:11,378
How did you know I was the one?
601
00:36:12,629 --> 00:36:15,006
Now we shall be friends
outside of the letters.
602
00:36:15,090 --> 00:36:17,884
So please, do not be a stranger,
since I… [clicks tongue]
603
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:19,427
…found you at last.
604
00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:21,888
[softly] Hmm.
605
00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:25,975
You speak of friendship
outside the letters.
606
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,770
That would not be easy.
607
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:31,856
I fear troublesome eyes would soon follow.
608
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:34,818
It's a secret between us two.
609
00:36:41,157 --> 00:36:42,951
For how long have you known…
610
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:45,662
that I was the one writing to you?
611
00:36:46,746 --> 00:36:47,747
[Heinrey] Hmm…
612
00:36:48,331 --> 00:36:49,833
From when I first met you.
613
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:51,960
From that moment?
614
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:55,547
You mean when I welcomed you?
615
00:36:56,339 --> 00:36:57,424
For that long?
616
00:36:58,007 --> 00:37:00,135
When I spotted your smiling face…
617
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:02,429
I just knew it.
618
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:09,602
[Heinrey] Were you hungry?
619
00:37:10,603 --> 00:37:11,896
Was that nice?
620
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:14,023
[shushing playfully]
621
00:37:17,152 --> 00:37:18,194
It's all right.

[chuckles softly]
624
00:37:41,926 --> 00:37:44,763
[Navier] Come to think of it,
Prince Heinrey…
625
00:37:45,889 --> 00:37:47,557
He has eyes as purple as yours.
626
00:37:48,141 --> 00:37:50,185
I'm already enamored by it.
627
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:52,771

If you don't stop looking at me,
630
00:38:15,043 --> 00:38:16,127
I think my heart will burst.
631
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:17,879
Uh…
632
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:19,422
[chuckles softly]
633
00:38:20,215 --> 00:38:21,216
[chuckles]
634
00:38:22,926 --> 00:38:24,469
You know, you resemble Queen.
635
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:29,098
[chuckles] He is handsome.
It's only natural.
636
00:38:29,182 --> 00:38:30,934
He's so intelligent.
637
00:38:31,684 --> 00:38:32,769
Very perceptive too.
638
00:38:32,852 --> 00:38:35,063
It's like we've always known each other.
639
00:38:35,605 --> 00:38:36,981
He truly understands…
640
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:39,025
almost as though we're one.
641
00:38:41,277 --> 00:38:43,988
I never knew a bird
could have all those expressions.
642
00:38:44,614 --> 00:38:46,658
It sounds as though
you might be falling for him.
643
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:49,577
If we were the same species…
644
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:51,871
Hmm, we would be quite good together.
645
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:55,750
Ah, tell me…
646
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:58,545
Whenever I stroke his derriere,
647
00:38:58,628 --> 00:39:01,172
he wiggles
and he lifts his bottom up like this.
648
00:39:01,756 --> 00:39:03,049
That must have some meaning?
649
00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:04,384
Ah…
650
00:39:05,051 --> 00:39:06,553
[inhales sharply] Mmm…
651
00:39:07,887 --> 00:39:09,973
It means "thank you," I'm certain.
652
00:39:10,056 --> 00:39:12,600
He's, uh, expressing his gratitude to you.
653
00:39:12,684 --> 00:39:14,394
Ah, is that so?
654
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:17,355
I must do it as often as I can.

656
00:39:21,067 --> 00:39:22,569
We're nearly there, I believe.
657
00:39:23,236 --> 00:39:24,696
Will the treasure be here?
658
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:26,906
Maybe at the end of this path?

You said you wished to fly the skies.
662
00:39:57,353 --> 00:40:00,940
You once wrote that you wanted to soar
through the clouds like a bird.
663
00:40:01,024 --> 00:40:03,776
Now you can fly
just like the bird you're in love with.
664
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:09,407
And this was the true reason
that I had to find you.
665
00:40:10,325 --> 00:40:13,036
I'll show you the world
as Queen perceives it.

00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:43,014
What did you enjoy the most this year?
722
00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:45,808
[noble] I liked
Her Majesty Empress Navier the most!
723
00:44:45,892 --> 00:44:47,059
-[guests chuckling]
-How very kind.
724
00:44:48,686 --> 00:44:49,896
[cheering and whooping]
725
00:44:52,023 --> 00:44:55,568
And what did I enjoy the most
about the ceremony this New Year?
726
00:44:56,485 --> 00:44:59,155
The smiles and happy faces
I saw everywhere.
727
00:44:59,739 --> 00:45:01,240
We were once enemies.
728
00:45:01,741 --> 00:45:02,742
But today,
729
00:45:02,825 --> 00:45:06,454
we are holding one another's hands,
and we are joyous.
730
00:45:07,163 --> 00:45:09,832
We danced together
and sang together as well.
731
00:45:09,916 --> 00:45:11,000
Did we not?
732
00:45:11,083 --> 00:45:12,501
[all] Hear, hear.
733
00:45:12,585 --> 00:45:14,378
The war has ended, but…
734
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:18,799
its aftereffects linger over our people.
735
00:45:19,759 --> 00:45:23,763
So the time has come for us
to take up a new sacred fight.
736
00:45:23,846 --> 00:45:25,097
To feed the hungry,
737
00:45:25,181 --> 00:45:27,433
to clothe the poor and in need,
738
00:45:27,934 --> 00:45:30,102
and to teach our children to do better.
739
00:45:30,686 --> 00:45:32,021
I have faith in us.
740
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:35,107
And I need you to remember this.
741
00:45:36,192 --> 00:45:39,237
That when we sheath our weapons,
we are empowered.
742
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,198
Our hands become free
to reach out and help others.
743
00:45:42,823 --> 00:45:44,408
Let's make that our pledge…
744
00:45:45,034 --> 00:45:46,077
together.
745
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:48,746
And may that light shine on.
746
00:45:51,791 --> 00:45:53,876
I declare, my dear friends…
747
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,294
the ceremony closed.
748
00:46:15,982 --> 00:46:18,234
THE REMARRIED EMPRESS
749
00:46:19,986 --> 00:46:21,988
