1
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:40,666
{\an8}THE REMARRIED EMPRESS
2
00:00:47,089 --> 00:00:49,675
I was hoping
you might stay a little longer.
3
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:50,926
Such a pity.
4
00:00:52,678 --> 00:00:54,513
As lovely as that would be,
5
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:56,598
my coronation will soon take place.
6
00:00:57,307 --> 00:00:59,893
The first coronation of an unwedded queen.
7
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:05,816
There is nothing wrong
with being unmarried.
8
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:08,569
You will govern your country well.
9
00:01:08,652 --> 00:01:10,862
That is what truly matters
for a good queen.
10
00:01:10,946 --> 00:01:12,489
Yes, but my uncles...
11
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:15,492
I'm afraid they do not recognize
my birthright.
12
00:01:15,993 --> 00:01:19,454
They each think their son
ought to be the one taking my throne.
13
00:01:20,122 --> 00:01:22,708
And my sister's at the palace on her own.
14
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,085
I'm concerned for her.
15
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:30,549
We support you.
16
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:33,176
The Eastern Empire is on your side.
17
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,137
We have faith in your authority.
18
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:38,765
That means so much to me.
19
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:41,101
I would like to propose a solution.
20
00:01:42,269 --> 00:01:44,730
Which uncle is making the most difficulty?
21
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:48,191
The worst is Grand Duke Berg.
22
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,609
Might I request
23
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,237
that the Grand Duke
posts his son to us as an envoy?
24
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:53,530
An envoy?
25
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,657
There are
three different kinds of envoy.
26
00:01:55,741 --> 00:01:57,284
First, there's a commissaire,
27
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:58,577
sent on official duties.
28
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:00,287
A pardoned envoy,
29
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:01,788
smuggled abroad in disgrace.
30
00:02:01,872 --> 00:02:02,998
Then the pawn,
31
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:05,375
a hostage envoy, as leverage.
32
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,960
That's the one we need.
33
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:09,421
Grand Duke Berg's son is perfect.
34
00:02:10,047 --> 00:02:13,383
The Duke will not be able
to do you any harm, Princess Circe.
35
00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:17,679
Thank you, my friend.
36
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:19,514
How can I repay this kindness?
37
00:02:19,598 --> 00:02:21,350
Be a good queen,
38
00:02:21,433 --> 00:02:23,268
and make your country thrive.
39
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:37,866
Thank you.
40
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:39,076
I'll do as you say.
41
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:40,952
I will always be your supporter,
42
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:42,996
political ally...
43
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:44,748
and be your friend.
44
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:48,752
Then I am lucky.
45
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:04,935
Your Majesty,
46
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:06,728
Prince Heinrey is asking to see you.
47
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:08,772
Is the Prince here?
48
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:09,981
Yes, Your Majesty.
49
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:39,136
Your Majesty!
50
00:03:40,429 --> 00:03:41,596
What has brought you here?
51
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:44,683
I thought you might be finished
with your duties around now.
52
00:03:45,142 --> 00:03:46,143
Am I right?
53
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,186
Yes, I am finished.
54
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:52,607
Then, could we take a walk together?
55
00:03:53,442 --> 00:03:55,026
It is so vast at this palace.
56
00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:57,988
I would very much enjoy a tour.
57
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:00,991
Perhaps you could show me
one or two of your favorite places.
58
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:03,118
I would love that.
59
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,474
I was just deciding
60
00:04:26,016 --> 00:04:27,642
where I should take you.
61
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:32,647
I was looking at that painting.
62
00:04:32,731 --> 00:04:33,982
Is it you as a child?
63
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,444
How did you know?
64
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:40,572
So you've always liked birds, I suppose?
65
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:42,699
Is Queen well?
66
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:44,743
He's very well.
67
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:46,870
It seems you are not sending him anymore?
68
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:51,875
I will come instead of sending Queen,
69
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,251
so we can see each other.
70
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:55,378
If you have grounded my favorite bird,
71
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:57,214
then perhaps
72
00:04:57,714 --> 00:04:59,299
I shall have to reconsider being friends.
73
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:01,676
Isn't your birthday quite soon?
74
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:06,264
How did you know that?
75
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:10,268
As it's just after the new year,
and that time is hectic,
76
00:05:10,352 --> 00:05:11,853
I heard you often spend it quietly.
77
00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:15,899
I wanted to share your birthday with you.
78
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:17,484
So I extended my visit here.
79
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:23,490
Um... um... uh...
80
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,033
I didn't mean just the two of us.
81
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:26,117
Uh, we could...
82
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:28,787
we could ask Circe,
McKenna, and a few other friends.
83
00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:30,914
We could have dinner together.
84
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:34,125
Why not?
85
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:36,378
How perfect.
86
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:38,338
The year would begin on a happy note.
87
00:05:39,923 --> 00:05:40,924
I'd like that.
88
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:42,676
Wonderful.
89
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:44,719
Your Majesty?
90
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,432
I think you should
step inside for a moment.
91
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:51,852
There's a message
from His Majesty the Emperor.
92
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:16,668
Hmm?
93
00:06:18,253 --> 00:06:19,921
Do you think the dust will settle, Lante?
94
00:06:20,005 --> 00:06:21,089
Well, Sire...
95
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:25,135
Our future generations deserve
a strong empire, Your Majesty.
96
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,596
A poor relationship
between the Emperor and Empress
97
00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:29,556
is not in the kingdom's interests.
98
00:06:33,643 --> 00:06:34,686
"Dearest,
99
00:06:35,478 --> 00:06:37,772
"come to think of it,
your birthday is coming up soon."
100
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:43,320
Did His Majesty
ask you to read it out like that?
101
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:46,323
Continue. Continue the message.
102
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:47,908
In your voice.
103
00:06:47,991 --> 00:06:50,035
"We have grown
somewhat distant as of late,
104
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:51,703
"and I thought perhaps, to reconcile,
105
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:53,955
"we should go
to the Imperial Villa for your birthday.
106
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:57,876
"Empress...
107
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:00,670
"What are your thoughts on this?"
108
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,882
How should I reply?
109
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:07,719
Tell me what to say, and I will deliver it
to His Majesty as faithfully as possible.
110
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,266
Your Majesty, you also wish to restore
111
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:15,477
your relationship with Her Majesty,
do you not?
112
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,103
Everything I do, she fights against.
113
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:20,148
You have to know that
you hurt her, Your Majesty.
114
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:22,859
You must also consider
the feeling of major betrayal she has.
115
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:31,576
I know you covet our reconciliation,
and I have reached out to her.
116
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:34,245
I'd be surprised if she agrees.
117
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:36,998
In fact, I believe that
her pride will obstruct her.
118
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:39,000
She won't consent to this proposal.
119
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:46,758
So, what did she say?
120
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:51,346
"Your Majesty's request...
121
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:54,641
"was received.
122
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:00,647
"It is accepted."
123
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:04,901
Yes!
124
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:10,407
I'll be needing a gift!
125
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:12,534
I'll find the perfect present!
126
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:13,952
Wait, I have something in mind.
127
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,036
Your Majesty!
128
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,664
I bought a gift to give to Navier
a while ago, in fact.
129
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:20,083
Since her birthday is close to New Year.
130
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:22,377
It was a nuisance keeping it stored,
131
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:23,795
so that works.
132
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:25,046
Wouldn't you say?
133
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:28,758
Yes.
134
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:33,888
I will coordinate the schedule
for your trip to the Imperial Villa.
135
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:36,182
Please do so.
136
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:43,356
It was a hard decision to make.
137
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,691
You did the right thing.
138
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:48,403
So much has changed.
139
00:08:49,904 --> 00:08:51,656
I cannot know if this time together
140
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:54,451
will ease the awkwardness between us.
141
00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:56,494
However,
142
00:08:56,578 --> 00:08:58,371
I am this country's Empress.
143
00:08:59,914 --> 00:09:01,708
It is my job to show my country
144
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:03,877
that we are both united.
145
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,503
We are still husband and wife.
146
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:09,174
I'm positive
the two of you will be reconciled.
147
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,762
I shall make every preparation.
148
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:15,805
Know that your stay
will have nothing missing.
149
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:37,827
It's one of Queen's feathers.
150
00:09:38,745 --> 00:09:42,123
When you heard I was writing to you,
I hope you weren't disappointed.
151
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,752
I was overjoyed.
152
00:09:55,386 --> 00:09:57,097
I wanted to share your birthday with you,
153
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:58,848
so I extended my visit here.
154
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:02,060
Why not?
155
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:03,478
How perfect.
156
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:06,523
The year would begin on a happy note.
157
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:07,607
Wonderful.
158
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,725
Queen!
159
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:57,949
Ah!
160
00:10:58,032 --> 00:10:59,617
It has been so long!
161
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:03,121
Have you been keeping well?
162
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,749
My, how I missed you.
163
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:09,335
I wonder if you missed me?
164
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:16,342
I see you brought
no letter with you today.
165
00:11:19,137 --> 00:11:20,805
Isn't your master compassionate?
166
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:23,224
You're here because I said I missed you!
167
00:11:32,233 --> 00:11:33,568
What's that fragrance?
168
00:11:35,069 --> 00:11:37,363
Is that Heinrey's scent on you, Queen?
169
00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:57,926
I have to write a letter now.
170
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:00,637
A hard one.
171
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:05,225
I have difficult news for your guardian.
172
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,854
Heinrey has made me feel less alone.
173
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,399
He showed me what true happiness is.
174
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:39,926
"I will not be able to keep my promise
to spend my birthday with you.
175
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:43,846
"His Majesty asked that I spend it
at the Imperial Villa with him...
176
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:45,682
"...and I have agreed.
177
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:50,770
"I am sorry."
178
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:06,828
You're not really thinking of
giving all these jewels to the Empress?
179
00:13:07,412 --> 00:13:08,454
Are you?
180
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:16,754
I had believed it was a game
in the beginning,
181
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:18,631
since that is what you told me it was.
182
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:21,050
I can see why you're attracted to her.
183
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:23,469
She is charming and beautiful.
184
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:26,681
But now, take a look at the state
she's left you in, Your Highness.
185
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:29,017
I'm concerned by it.
186
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:31,936
A hot air balloon, and now jewels too?
187
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:33,479
What on earth are you thinking?
188
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,690
Oh, have you been crying?
189
00:13:38,192 --> 00:13:39,819
I'm not crying. You're crying.
190
00:13:41,404 --> 00:13:42,405
You were crying.
191
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:45,324
No, I wasn't.
192
00:13:45,408 --> 00:13:46,743
Your throat just trembled.
193
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:49,620
And I can see that
your eyelashes are still wet.
194
00:13:49,704 --> 00:13:51,456
You've made your eyes puffy and red.
195
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:52,623
I have not.
196
00:13:57,712 --> 00:13:59,797
Well, I might have a walk and some air.
197
00:14:20,318 --> 00:14:21,903
Majesty!
198
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,867
I am told you're taking Her Highness
to the Imperial Villa
199
00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:29,368
to honor her birthday.
200
00:14:29,994 --> 00:14:31,204
Are you about to depart?
201
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:32,705
That's right.
202
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,373
You're so sweet.
203
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:35,500
Also...
204
00:14:35,583 --> 00:14:37,585
you look so, so handsome today!
205
00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:39,545
It's unfair, don't you think?
206
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:43,299
That the Eastern Empire's ruler
is also such a handsome man?
207
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:44,926
Silly thing.
208
00:14:45,009 --> 00:14:46,844
Take Rashta with you as well.
209
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,598
I do think Rashta should also be there
to honor the Empress.
210
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:53,851
Charming.
211
00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:55,937
But not this time.
212
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,396
We would like to celebrate on our own.
213
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:01,317
I thought you might.
214
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:09,951
Majesty!
215
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:15,248
Do not have too much fun with her,
and come back soon.
216
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,085
Your Rashta will be waiting for you.
217
00:15:21,546 --> 00:15:22,880
We... we shouldn't be late.
218
00:15:24,006 --> 00:15:25,383
indeed.
219
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:26,884
Take care of yourself.
220
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,195
Let's depart!
221
00:16:33,075 --> 00:16:35,661
I was panicking for a while
that Her Majesty might refuse.
222
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:37,413
It wasn't romantic enough at all.
223
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:40,082
Just a letter read out loud.
Not even an apology?
224
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:42,084
Please don't get me started.
225
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:44,962
Even just to get the word "reconcile"
put into that letter,
226
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:47,673
oh, believe me, I really had to beg.
227
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,219
Listen...
228
00:16:51,302 --> 00:16:52,720
We must get this to work.
229
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:53,804
Hmm? Hmm?
230
00:16:53,888 --> 00:16:54,889
-We'll make it!
-Hmm.
231
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:34,679
Do you...
232
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:37,807
recall our first visit here?
233
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:40,977
I recall your motion sickness.
234
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,020
You were just a child.
235
00:17:44,355 --> 00:17:46,691
And only a mere princess as well.
236
00:17:48,651 --> 00:17:50,653
So sweet.
237
00:17:57,743 --> 00:17:59,495
Do you still feel poorly?
238
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:03,082
Are you all right?
239
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:12,508
Oh. I'm fine now.
240
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:19,056
Take them.
241
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,891
I promise you'll feel better.
242
00:18:22,143 --> 00:18:24,145
Go on. Just put this leaf in your mouth.
243
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,565
Ah.
244
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:36,907
That's better, thank you.
245
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,453
I wish we could come here again.
246
00:18:40,536 --> 00:18:41,662
How would we find it?
247
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:43,205
We could leave a sign.
248
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:44,582
Like what?
249
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:45,750
Hmm.
250
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:46,917
Let's plant a tree.
251
00:18:47,001 --> 00:18:48,002
How?
252
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:49,420
We can plant the seeds.
253
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:51,005
We'll have one each.
254
00:18:51,088 --> 00:18:52,173
One for me.
255
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:53,424
The other for you.
256
00:18:57,428 --> 00:18:59,639
Are these really
our little trees?
257
00:19:01,182 --> 00:19:02,350
They are.
258
00:19:05,686 --> 00:19:07,271
They have grown so tall.
259
00:19:08,731 --> 00:19:10,775
I did often think of our trees.
260
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:13,402
I thought they would be lost.
261
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:17,239
I have ensured these trees
were taken care of since then.
262
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:44,684
My lady.
263
00:19:44,767 --> 00:19:46,227
There's a guest here for you.
264
00:19:47,144 --> 00:19:48,437
I am not seeing anyone.
265
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:50,147
But, Ms. Rashta--
266
00:19:50,231 --> 00:19:51,607
I told you.
267
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:52,858
Send them away.
268
00:19:56,237 --> 00:19:57,613
He swore if you won't see him now,
269
00:19:57,697 --> 00:19:59,657
then you'll regret the consequences.
270
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,242
Consequences?
271
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:03,035
Who dares to say that to Rashta?
272
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:05,746
You're looking
almost like a noblewoman.
273
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:36,277
But I know what you are.
274
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:46,620
Why...
275
00:20:48,622 --> 00:20:49,790
did you come...
276
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:53,544
How did you gain entry here?
277
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:56,172
I think...
278
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:58,716
it would be better for these girls
not to hear us.
279
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:12,062
Ah.
280
00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:17,485
Is this trinket made
of real gold and amber?
281
00:21:17,568 --> 00:21:19,153
Let me see.
282
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:26,285
You should not treat me so wickedly,
should you, Rashta?
283
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:29,163
This is your doing.
284
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:31,582
When you got caught, they removed my eye.
285
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:32,666
Hmm.
286
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,211
And yet for you...
287
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:38,798
I've been keeping your secret.
288
00:21:40,758 --> 00:21:42,218
Your precious golden trinkets
289
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:45,012
would never be enough
to pay what I'm owed.
290
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:49,600
So don't make that nasty pouting face.
291
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:51,644
Hmm?
292
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:54,480
Do not place your hands on me!
293
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:56,607
His Highness will not forgive you.
294
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:01,779
Right.
295
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:05,574
And what does His Highness really know
about your history?
296
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:10,996
Does he know you gave birth
in secrecy to another man's child?
297
00:22:12,873 --> 00:22:17,878
And does he know that you
abandoned your poor child like an old doll
298
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:20,589
and scurried away?
299
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:22,466
I bet not.
300
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,134
Abandoned?
301
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:26,637
What on earth do you mean?
302
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:30,182
How dare you lie
when you took my child and killed it!
303
00:22:30,266 --> 00:22:31,433
Shh!
304
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:37,940
You threaten me with the baby's existence,
305
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:39,859
but all I have to do is deny it.
306
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:43,195
It's a worthless threat
when we both know there's no child.
307
00:22:47,408 --> 00:22:49,076
Your child is alive.
308
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:52,371
I do not believe you.
309
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,582
As lowborn as he indeed was...
310
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,001
he is still my grandson.
311
00:22:57,668 --> 00:22:59,753
You believed that I would kill the child?
312
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:07,469
You... you said he was dead.
313
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:11,348
You even said you...
314
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:13,100
that you did it yourself.
315
00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:14,643
Not really.
316
00:23:15,769 --> 00:23:19,315
You don't know whether
you want your boy dead or alive.
317
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,774
So which one is it?
318
00:23:21,734 --> 00:23:24,320
You don't believe me, do you?
319
00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:26,405
Shall I show you?
320
00:23:31,035 --> 00:23:32,119
Oh my...
321
00:23:36,916 --> 00:23:38,876
I'll be here again soon to see you...
322
00:23:39,376 --> 00:23:40,711
so have something to give me.
323
00:23:40,794 --> 00:23:42,546
If you don't have money,
324
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:44,298
then your jewels will do.
325
00:23:45,382 --> 00:23:46,634
Cheerio, my dear.
326
00:24:00,648 --> 00:24:02,483
Ms. Rashta! Oh no!
327
00:24:02,566 --> 00:24:03,943
Are you all right?
328
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:06,195
What do we do? Fetch some water!
329
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,687
Who is it?
330
00:24:39,770 --> 00:24:41,480
I have a message.
331
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:48,696
What is it now?
332
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:51,115
It's Ms. Rashta.
She has suddenly fallen ill.
333
00:24:53,367 --> 00:24:54,368
That's it?
334
00:24:54,451 --> 00:24:56,370
She is suffering
from chills and a fever,
335
00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:58,914
so the Imperial Physician
decided to treat her.
336
00:25:02,543 --> 00:25:05,212
Go and tell the Physician
that he did the right thing.
337
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:08,590
If she gets any worse,
report it to me without delay.
338
00:25:08,674 --> 00:25:10,259
Yes, Your Majesty.
339
00:25:19,476 --> 00:25:20,477
Tell me...
340
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,022
Do you suppose she's feigning it?
341
00:25:23,105 --> 00:25:24,273
That may be.
342
00:25:24,773 --> 00:25:28,485
But the physician, he would not have
sent a message if that were the case.
343
00:25:29,278 --> 00:25:30,279
You're right.
344
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:32,239
I know he will be treating her well.
345
00:25:33,449 --> 00:25:34,742
Do not worry.
346
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:36,785
Just enjoy being here with the Empress.
347
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:39,621
Hmm.
348
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:50,466
Mmm! This smells delicious.
349
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,301
And it looks it, too!
350
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:54,845
You taste it first.
351
00:25:54,928 --> 00:25:56,096
-How is it?
-It tastes lovely.
352
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:59,933
When Your Majesty cooks anything,
I could just keep on eating until I burst!
353
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:01,560
I'm serious!
354
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,109
Do come in, Your Majesty.
355
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:11,779
It smells delicious.
356
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,907
It's like something
my mother used to make.
357
00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:17,242
When I was very young.
358
00:26:20,204 --> 00:26:23,791
Well, Her Majesty
has made this dish all by herself.
359
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:27,628
It looks divine.
360
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:28,712
Doesn't it?
361
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:09,128
I enjoyed hearing your laughter.
362
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,172
While I was making this,
363
00:27:12,256 --> 00:27:13,632
I had a little something to drink.
364
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:14,925
I feel a little tipsy.
365
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:21,974
I thought perhaps
you looked a little flushed.
366
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:24,184
It's pretty.
367
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:32,442
Let's go to Plevor together,
368
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:34,027
to the observatory.
369
00:27:35,362 --> 00:27:36,989
I thought you'd want to go there.
370
00:27:37,072 --> 00:27:38,240
It's all arranged.
371
00:28:52,481 --> 00:28:53,732
Is this a present?
372
00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:08,789
It's so beautiful.
373
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:12,584
The yellow jewels
were quite troublesome to find.
374
00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:14,503
But I know you love them.
375
00:30:52,601 --> 00:30:53,602
I need you.
376
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:57,481
I missed you...
377
00:30:57,564 --> 00:30:58,982
Rashta.
378
00:31:15,457 --> 00:31:16,541
What did you say?
379
00:31:35,602 --> 00:31:37,145
Navier, what can I say?
380
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:39,064
It was a mistake.
381
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:42,609
Get out.
382
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,268
Hup!
383
00:33:02,898 --> 00:33:04,274
Ms. Rashta is critical.
384
00:33:04,774 --> 00:33:05,859
She got worse rapidly.
385
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,448
When does it end?
386
00:33:12,324 --> 00:33:14,201
When it rains, it pours.
387
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:34,721
We're leaving.
388
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:36,306
To the palace.
389
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:38,600
Your Majesty!
390
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:40,310
Your Majesty!
391
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:42,896
Please do not leave, I entreat you.
392
00:33:42,979 --> 00:33:44,022
Your Majesty!
393
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:46,524
I'll leave the Empress the royal carriage.
394
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:48,109
That's the limit of my kindness.
395
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:49,194
Hyah!
396
00:34:23,937 --> 00:34:24,938
Rashta.
397
00:34:26,815 --> 00:34:28,233
You're back.
398
00:34:28,817 --> 00:34:32,445
What is going on here?
How could anybody get so ill this quickly?
399
00:34:32,529 --> 00:34:33,697
Well, I... Your Majesty,
400
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:34,781
I'm sorry.
401
00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:39,077
I heard Ms. Rashta
could not eat properly,
402
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,912
grew dizzy, and collapsed.
403
00:34:40,996 --> 00:34:43,665
I was so terribly alarmed
that I came to see her at once.
404
00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:45,458
In spite of my efforts,
405
00:34:45,542 --> 00:34:47,168
her condition left me too concerned,
406
00:34:47,252 --> 00:34:49,546
so I called the Imperial Physician.
407
00:34:56,011 --> 00:34:57,053
I am...
408
00:34:57,846 --> 00:34:59,097
very unwell, aren't I?
409
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:08,231
Uh...
410
00:35:08,315 --> 00:35:09,941
I needed to verify this,
411
00:35:10,650 --> 00:35:13,486
so I checked twice to be certain.
412
00:35:13,570 --> 00:35:14,571
What is it?
413
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:16,740
My congratulations.
414
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:19,326
Rashta is expecting.
415
00:35:19,409 --> 00:35:20,535
She will have a child.
416
00:35:30,295 --> 00:35:31,379
A child?
417
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:33,298
The pulse is not yet strong,
418
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:34,674
but I can feel it clearly.
419
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:35,800
You're with child, my dear.
420
00:35:35,884 --> 00:35:37,761
Good heavens!
421
00:36:15,382 --> 00:36:18,093
I have brought news
for Her Majesty the Empress.
422
00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:23,283
Your Highness!
423
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:24,909
Your Highness!
424
00:37:25,452 --> 00:37:26,953
What now?
425
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:28,663
I just heard about this.
426
00:37:28,747 --> 00:37:30,248
That mistress is pregnant.
427
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:33,835
-Rashta?
-Yes...
428
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:35,295
Rashta.
429
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:38,089
Hold on.
430
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:39,799
What about Navier? Where is she?
431
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:43,261
Has she come back yet?
432
00:37:43,344 --> 00:37:44,637
Does she know about this?
433
00:38:23,009 --> 00:38:24,803
Rashta is with child.
434
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:28,139
Is she?
435
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,185
Do you expect me to be joyous?
436
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:40,193
The child is my firstborn,
even if they're not a royal.
437
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:44,155
I do not expect your congratulations.
However...
438
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,576
Next month, I would like you
to commence a payment increase for Rashta.
439
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:50,745
Her allowance must reflect
that she is a mother.
440
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,501
I shall.
441
00:39:28,575 --> 00:39:29,784
Your Majesty...
442
00:39:32,912 --> 00:39:34,205
What is it, Eliza?
443
00:39:34,289 --> 00:39:35,748
Prince Heinrey is here.
444
00:39:35,832 --> 00:39:37,292
He's requested to see you.
445
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:39,252
There's something important
he wants to say.
446
00:39:40,837 --> 00:39:42,088
Will you show him in?
447
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:34,515
I was thinking
you might need comforting today.
448
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,187
I thought a hug could help.
449
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:40,480
Is that all right?
450
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:48,780
That's what friends do.
451
00:40:48,863 --> 00:40:50,865
They always look out for each other.
452
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:56,162
Mmm. It is all right.
453
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,121
You bastard!
454
00:42:22,623 --> 00:42:24,959
