HISTORY OF THE SHOGUN'S HAREM
Beyond these walls lies a fabled world...
the world of the women of Edo Castle.
Commonly it's referred to as the "Harem of Edo".
His Highness, the Shogun!
Only one man has access to these rooms:
The fifth Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, who lords it over hundreds of women.
Tsunayoshi is waiting for one of his countless women to bear him a successor.
And thus it's the secret ambition of every woman to be the successor's mother.
Any means is justified to reach that goal.
Each of the women does everything in her power...
...to win and keep the interest of their Lord.
There are only a few left that still manage to excite the jaded Tsunayoshi.
All those who have ceased to interest him live a sad and quiet life...
a life without love or purpose.
Well now, girls, let's see you dance!
No! No!
Come on, undress! Don't be so shy!
No, please don't.
No, please don't. I'm embarrassed, i'm embarrassed.
Nobody's here. Not even our Lord.
Today we women are among ourselves. We're all the same.
Come now, get undressed.
I must have that girl.
Look at me.
Look at me. I have to tell you something important. Listen carefully!
Our Lord noticed a birthmark on one of you when you danced.
He told me it's on the inner thigh.
Whoever has a birthmark on that spot, report now.
You heard about the Shogun's desire.
It could be one of you.
Show me your legs.
Excuse me but i don't think that's necessary.
Everybody should know if she has a birthmark or not.
Shut up, Machi.
This is an opportunity to rise in the ranks.
Somebody could have painted it on.
Just show your legs.
I got it.
It's on an indecent spot. I never looked there.
You're so lucky.
You know what that means. You could be the successor's mother.
No! Our Lord is looking for a mark on the left thigh.
Excuse me.
Too bad.
They found the girl.
Really?
Who is it? Speak!
She's from here. She's a servant of Madam Koji.
I see.
I bet that's another one of her tricks.
Do you know the girl's name?
Yes. Her name is Mizu.
I envy you.
You're really lucky, Mizu.
She's right. If you bear him a child you will become his favorite.
Obviously it'll have to be a boy.
If you succeed, please don't forget about us, Mizu.
We want a bit of your glory, too. Right?
My Lord has fallen for me. He is my one and only.
Since back then...
His Highness, the Shogun!
I'm sorry, i accidentally pulled the rope. I'm sorry, it was an accident.
What? An accident you say?
Yes.
That's an intolerable mistake and not an "accident"!
Who do you serve anyway?
Madam Koji.
My name is Mizu.
I don't believe you. You're insulting the great Madam Koji.
None of her girls would fail like that.
Tell me the truth, immediately! - I already did.
It's the truth! - Shut up!
Keep questioning her. - Yes.
Tell me the truth! You hear?
Madam Koji!
Is this how you regularly punish your servants?
Of course.
In our circles we can't let something like this go unpunished.
I'm sure you're aware that i was speaking of the methods you employ.
Obviously the girl will get the punishment she deserves.
Well, then everything is in order.
What are you going to do?
I will take her life.
Take her life? - Exactly.
As punishment for her mistake, i will order her hair to be cut off.
We're death for men without our long hair.
No, forgive me!
It would be appreciated if certain Ladies would abstain from their barbaric customs in the future.
His Highness, the Shogun!
Who is the girl?
A servant. She accidentally pulled the rope, my Lord.
The Ladies were very upset about it.
Madam Koji was beyond herself.
She ordered her hair to be cut off as punishment.
How cruel you are.
I'm sure she won't do it again.
Leave her alone. I don't want her punished.
Did you hear?
Since that daY, i have kept my love for him deep inside my heart.
But i could never dare to do as much as to look up at him.
And now my Lord wants me to come to him.
Do you see what a pretty garment means? Stunning, simply stunning.
I barely recognize you.
Serve your Lord with body and soul.
Forget yourself and give yourself to him.
I'm desperate.
I've lost our Lord's love forever.
He picked that common servant girl to have his fun with.
My dear...
Don't put yourself down. After all, you're a princess.
The Shogun won't leave you for someone like that.
You'll get his attention back soon enough. Trust me.
I wish you were right.
You're not alone. You have allies.
Do you really think Yoshioka will let you do this?
I eavesdropped earlier...
She has plans for Mizu.
What do you want from me? Where are you taking me?
What do you want from me? - I'll destroy your birthmark.
It's the only thing our Lord likes about you.
Help!
Hurry!
Don't rejoice too soon. Madam Koji is clever and won't just take this.
I'm sure she'll complain to the Shogun.
Let her do that.
I'll simply say that my jealous girls were the ones who did it.
A brilliant idea.
That way the problem is solved and we once again have a chance.
We didn't eat anything. Please help yourself.
Thank you.
Excuse me. Rika just went to the Shogun's sleeping quarters.
What?
Without my knowledge?
Rika, where is your birthmark? Show me.
My Lord. - Where is it?
I want to see it! You hear?
My beloved Lord.
I bet Rika will go to him every night from now on. You'll see.
Pretty girls have it easier.
I wouldn't say that.
Think about what happened to Mizu.
She had to leave the House of Women.
Yes, you're right.
How long will the birthmark check take?
We just started. It'll take until dawn, as usual.
If i think about what they're doing right now, i get all hot!
I heard she still has the Lord's interest.
He hasn't realized that her birthmark is, in fact, fake.
Madam Tokiwai whines all day about how her lover shuns her.
She even plans to return to her father.
The Lord!
Here i am, my Lord.
Chika?
I just want to take a look at your birthmark.
I know everything.
I'm begging you, my beloved! Forgive me! Have mercy!
That's a tattoo, isn't it?
Yes, i wanted to please you, Lord.
My love for you was just so great.
Chika, don't lie to me.
That was your mistress' idea, wasn't it?
No, i thought of it myself.
You're just afraid of punishment. Admit it!
No! Believe me!
My mistress doesn't know anything about this.
I wanted you to love me. I'm the only one you have to punish.
Alright.
I didn't say anything about punishment.
My beloved Lord... So you intend to forgive me?
If i punish the girl further, she'll kill herself.
It is the fate of the mighty to be lied to.
What's the matter, Lord? Why the bad mood?
It's nothing. I'm just tired.
You're not being nice to me.
I'm finally allowed to be with you again after such a long time...
...and you just ignore me.
Watch out! You're hurting me!
You've changed.
You never used to be tired when i came to visit you.
Do you only care for young girls nowadays?
Is there nothing you'd like to do to me?
You're talking too much, Oden.
We older ones are sweet and tasty, just like overripe fruit.
Stop that, i don't want to.
Madam Koji was right. You'd be different if i could offer you a birthmark.
I want that ridiculous talk to stop.
Alright. You may have forgotten...
i have something better than a birthmark.
Something that can give you much more pleasure.
Did you forget about it?
Please stop. I don't want to anymore.
No, leave me alone.
I still have feelings for you. - Stop it.
I can't anymore.
You like it, don't you?
Isn't this better than a birthmark?
It's much sweeter... sweet and juicy.
Oden!
I don't want to anymore.
I've had enough.
Alright. But it was good, wasn't it?
Now you're strong once again.
You can embrace me once again.
No, i don't want to. I've had enough.
Ready, go!
Yes!
You win, Kae!
Throw her down!
Good!
Go on!
Yes!
Alright!
I guess i can withdraw.
I don't appreciate these rough games.
I detest them.
I don't understand how you can enjoy them.
That's what i expected.
She doesn't feel well unless she can show us that she's superior.
She isn't wrong.
I'm going, too. It's boring.
Wait, my beloved.
A special act is coming up.
Sit back down.
I'm very curious what this special act is.
Someone with courage, step up!
If his Highness agrees, i'll declare the servant Kimo to be the winner.
One moment!
Don't rush things. I'll challenge Kimo.
Punish her for her arrogance, Kimo!
Careful! Watch out!
That was great.
And what's this girl's name?
Sayo, but please...
...don't you want to wait until the match is over?
Don't rejoice too soon!
Keep going!
Stop! Stop! Already beaten.
Yes, here comes the next one.
Well, is anybody else up for it?
I really enjoyed that. You're very skilled.
Sayo!
You'll become my teacher.
Not like this!
Grab me here.
My pleasure.
Now you have to throw your oppontent over your leg and backwards, so!
Forgive me, Lord.
No worries. Keep going.
Grab me as strongly as you can and throw me down.
For the moment you can forget who i am.
As you wish, my Lord.
All right, let's go.
As you wish. If i hurt you, remember that you wanted it that way.
If i don't watch it, she'll really throw me down again.
She totally forgot who i am.
This girl would love me for who i really am.
Our Lord is still very motivated... this girl is teaching him wrestling.
They do all 48 positions. Usually it takes until dawn.
What?
You mean they fight until dawn?
What do you mean by that? - Don't be so dense!
We're just curious if you don't mean that they're wrestling in bed.
Is that really so hard?
I see. No, no. It's real wrestling.
But you were mentioning 48 positions.
Yes, those are positions used to throw someone to the ground.
For now the girl is just a harmless plaything.
I know with certainty that he hasn't laid a finger on her.
Except it won't stay that way for long.
You're right. We need to watch out.
Strong girls like Sayo usually get pregnant the first time.
The thought that she may give birth to the successor is unbearable.
I think we'd better do something.
Maybe we should ask Daimyo Sasagawa for help.
But how?
We're not allowed to meet other men here.
It'd be too dangerous.
Let's take advantage of the March equinox.
What do you mean? - It's easy...
we vote for him as man of the year and that way he can enter the Harem.
It's up to us who we vote for.
We'll suggest Sasagawa as man of the year.
It'll be in four weeks time.
Good luck for this house for a whole year!
May evil flee from its gates!
I brought good luck to your house. As man of the year i have that power.
Go ahead, touch me! Me, the man who brings good fortune!
Not so rough!
You're crushing me!
Stop! Stop! Let me go!
Quiet! Leave now, girls!
Please come with me. Everything has been prepared.
You come with me.
Those old hags, how hard they try.
For that old guy?
I don't envy them.
Please take this sake, Lord.
I have no idea how this works, but i'll give it a try.
Enough, enough! It'll get spilled!
It's just once a year so, please, drink.
You deserve it.
You're a really great man. - Give him some more!
No, i can't drink anymore. - Drink! Drink!
Congratulations!
Take him to his sleeping quarters.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Carry the flag! Hold it high!
Carry the flag! Hold it high!
Who's there?
Tokiwai is my name.
Would you be so kind as to talk to me?
Why not? Come on in.
If i understand you correctly, you want me to arrange a girl of the nobility for him.
I think you'd be able to; you are well connected.
To find someone he likes around here isn't easy.
Our Lord usually gives his affections to common servant girls.
It can't keep on like this.
Help me. I'll reward you.
I didn't mean it like that.
What do you want?
Conspirators get along better after having been intimate.
What do you think you're doing?
As you wish, my dear.
Then make do without my help and go tell Madam Koji about your failure.
That's blackmail. - What an ugly word.
Why don't we go ahead with it? Each of us does the other a favor.
I think that sounds much better.
Well, come on then.
If you're nice to me, i promise i'll bring you a real princess.
She'll be of breathtaking beauty.
Almost as beautiful as you.
What good is my beauty if my Lord doesn't love me anymore?
Come here. You were his favorite for two months.
Yes, darling, your Lord reported wonderful things about your art of love.
No, let me go!
No, no, i don't want this!
No! Don't!
Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?
I belong only to him!
How does the Shogun love you? Like this? Or any other way?
I loathe you.
Our Lord seems mesmerized.
Zome is a woman after his tastes.
Yakanisawa has done well.
I've heard rumors about noble ladies doing this out in the open...
...but this is the first time i've actuallYseen it.
Well, what does my beloved think of my humble art?
Very nice.
I was quite pleased.
And you?
What do you think of the 48 positions?
You're talking about wrestling... i don't have any experience with that.
You need to catch up right away.
This is one of them.
My Lord, not here in the garden...
Don't get excited, we're just sparring.
I already told you that i'm clueless.
I'll teach you.
I'll fall. - That can't be avoided.
Watch out now! - But my Lord...!
Zome is no wrestling girl.
She's from a very noble family.
These vulgar entertainments are bound to displease her.
You mustn't confuse us with your usual playgirls.
I prefer those to the lot of you.
How tasteless men can be...
it's immediately obvious that he's from the country.
Sayo...
i'll take care of today's instruction.
It'll be my pleasure. I may be a skilled wrestler, but i'm eager to improve.
I don't talk before a fight.
Are you ready, Sayo?
Yes, i am, Lord.
I'm glad to be of service.
I will do anything you require me to.
Sayo!
I'm scared.
No matter, my Lord. Order your servant and she will obey.
I don't ask anything, just a measure of honesty.
So my Lord doesn't love me?
But i do. Why?
I just should be honest?
This is all you ask of me?
Would you be prepared to give me more?
Anything, my Lord.
How do you like my leg?
Very much.
Do you think the other one is just as pretty?
I think so, yes. Do you want to see it?
They shine like a lotus blossom!
I'd like to know if the rest is just as much to your liking.
Tell me the truth.
It's blinding me.
Don't hesitate to look.
You won't go blind.
How pretty.
And you intended to hide all this from me.
Sayo!
Give me your hand.
How do you like this? Just as much?
My beloved mounds.
Two soft, small mounds.
Don't take your hand away.
Let it move downward from the mounds.
It'll end up in a misty forest.
Sayo!
And if you're tired, my Lord, here's a spring to refresh you.
Sayo!
My beloved Lord...
And if you're tired, my Lord, here's a spring to refresh You.
Shoin...
More.
Shoin, love me more!
More!
Dear Lord.
Sayo?
Who is Shoin? Tell me immediately.
I never heard the name before. I have no idea.
You're lying.
You just called out the name several times in your sleep.
I don't know anything about that.
Who is Shoin?
But i really don't know anything!
Belive me, Lord! I was just dreaming.
Sayo.
I wouldn't have been mad.
Not even jealous.
But that you'd lie to me and think i'd be stupid enough to fall for it...
You don't love me.
Why aren't you as open to me as you're required to be?
Tell me!
Maybe i'll forgive you after all.
Who were you speaking of? - I don't know.
Lord, please don't torture me.
Tell me the truth now! Do you have a lover?
No, my Lord! How could i?
So you don't have one?
You know that i belong to you.
True! I almost forgot.
What are you doing, my Lord?
I don't deserve you.
I will lose my position if i show my devotion in this way.
Quiet! - Have mercy, my Lord!
Oh, Lord!
So it's true.
When you visited the temple you met this man called Shoin.
And you did everything for him?
Yes. Please forgive me this misstep.
I wasb't able to bear my loveless existence anymore.
That's why i did it.
I understand that. But i can't forgive you.
You are reserved for the Shogun.
No other man is allowed to touch this body.
You were aware of that, Sayo.
It's the first rule of this house.
Listen well.
You must never confess what happened with Shoin.
You wouldn't be the first who'd pay for her weakness with her life.
You are right. I will deny everything.
Thank you. You are very merciful.
Speak! Tell us the truth!
Sayo...
Who is this Shoin you spoke of in your sleep?
What should i answer?
I simply don't know.
I'd have liked to spare you.
But since you force me to do it...
Bring the man here!
Remove the cloth.
Come out!
You will confess now. What's your name?
I'm Shoin, a monk from Boschu Temple.
Sayo, answer!
Do you still insist on not knowing this man?
I have never seen him before.
So, you don't know him?
Further denial is futile.
I'm already well aware that you slept with this man!
I really don't know him.
Sayo, you have one last chance.
Tell the truth right now!
Do it and i'll forgive you.
Not just you, but him as well.
Thank you for your mercy, Lord.
I beg of you, Sayo.
Why do you refuse to reveal our secret?
What do you want of me?
Did they bribe you to make you go along with them?
I don't know who you are.
I'm not going to lie to my Lord because of you.
Sayo, have you lost your mind?
What are you afraid of? He'll forgive you if you tell the truth!
Sayo!
I don't understand. What's the matter with this man?
Until now he's lived the life of glutton and pervert.
Yes, he was always chasing several women at once.
And now he's just attracted to Zome.
Supposedly she previously had a relationship with Yana Gisawa.
He brought her here to get rid of her.
That wouldn't surprise me.
But, Oden, you should inform our Lord of this.
Yes.
Zome? Are you alright?
I'm sorry. This is uncomfortable for me.
Tell me what's wrong with you.
You aren't sick, are you?
"Sick" is the wrong word...
...but i think i'm pregnant.
Are you sure?
Women know these things, Lord.
I've known for weeks.
I'm very pleased to be able to bear you a successor.
And it's my child?
How can you doubt it?
Watch out. She was Yana Gisawa's mistress before she came to the palace.
What is it? Lord? I thought you'd be pleased.
However, you seem bothered.
You do love me, right?
Is she telling the truth? Maybe it's just a ploy to please me.
It's true. She is pregnant.
But is it mine?
Yana Gisawa, thank you for being true.
But i don't want to merely thank you.
You shall be rewarded as well.
A special treasure...
What did you think of, my Lord?
You are getting Zome, the daughter of the Daimyo of Kioto.
Make her your second wife.
You must be joking, Lord.
I know who that lady is...
and i'm well aware how much you love her.
I can't accept such a precious gift.
I won't allow you to refuse.
Or are you displeased?
Your gift humbles me.
I thank you from all my heart.
What's wrong? Do you still refuse to talk to me?
You're the one who took me to bed.
You told me i was doing it for both of us.
Didn't you promise me that it'd be worth it for both of us?
You can't have forgotten that.
What a stupid thing to say!
Of course not.
Just that his love for you waned so quickly...
That thought makes me uneasy.
When did he dump you?
He's been cold towards me for a while.
It started the night i told him i was pregnant.
What do you say?
That's why he wants to get rid of you.
You know whose child it is.
Definitely not his!
None of his women ever got pregnant in all those years.
You're the father of my child.
Surely you don't doubt that?
That doesn't change the plan.
Our child will be the future ruler of this country.
Watch it! Quiet!
If anybody hears us...
i always thought only of you.
Even all those times he held me in his arms.
I never stopped loving you. - I believe you.
I will take care of changing his mind.
I'll just have to wait for the right moment.
The constant lies and intrigues of his women have made him suspicious.
You know, there was this thing with the birthmark...
The fake birthmark.
The story with Sayo also hit him pretty hard.
Since then he sees treachery and betrayal everywhere.
At the moment he doubts everyone and everything.
But that'll pass.
I hold the key to our success in my hands.
You mean i should have the child?
No, don't.
Wait and turn out the light.
I don't want you to see me this way.
No, no, i haven't seen you in a long time.
Come and lie down.
Turn out the light.
It's always the same. You never do what i want.
Zome, listen! It has to be a boy.
It will be a boy.
Zome gave birth to a boy. But is it mine?
Do newborns already look like their fathers?
Should i? Yes, i will take a look at the child.
Thank you for honoring us with your visit.
Can my first wife welcome you as well?
Sure, why not? I have nothing against it.
A beautiful woman.
I'm sure she's very proud of you.
She'd probably be an excellent means to determine how faithful Yana Gisawa is.
I'm sure she'd make a fine wife.
Actually a man like you doesn't deserve her.
I'd like a conversation under four eyes.
Send her away. - Yes.
Well, how do you like Zome?
She's beautiful, Lord.
I'd have liked to give her my love.
But i didn't say anything out of loyalty.
Why is that? You'll have to explain.
At the beginning l didn't know that she'd be the mother of your child.
But she informed me on the second day.
Now i ask you... Would it have been proper to touch a thusly blessed body?
You never touched her?
You make me sad.
Why do you doubt my sincerity?
What if i were to test your loyalty?
Would you be prepared to fulfill any of my wishes?
I will do whatever you ask.
Are you sure?
What if i were to request the services of your first wife?
I would feel honored.
You will despise me.
You'd be justified in being disgusted by me.
I'd never dare, Lord.
It's a real honor for me.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. It's impossible!
I'm sorry, Lord. I didn't intend to make you angry.
My only wish is to please you.
And yet you are dishonest.
Scream in my face. Show me your contempt!
Why do you hesitate?
No, i really don't despise you.
You're doing me wrong.
I came with every intention to please you.
No more talking. Shut up!
Lord.
My Lord.
Stop! Quit it!
No, Lord. Forgive me.
Sadako.
Sadako.
My Lord.
Do you still believe i despise you?
Surely not.
Take me.
Nothing better could happen.
This will make him feel secure.
He'll do it. I'll just have to be skillfull.
Then he'll take my child in as his own.
Yana Gisawa sends me his wife.
He puts her in my bed and claims it's an honor for him.
I no longer understand people.
Yana Gisawa has a bad reputation.
And my Lord trusts this man.
Your followers are worried.
What do you women understand about politics?
Not much. I'll freely admit it.
But i'm bothered that you've ignored me for years.
I don't trust anybody anymore.
Think about it! Sayo lied and cheated me to her death!
But Lord, you're insulting me... by comparing me to that bitch.
And that fake birthmark?
That was Oden's work.
Before that she branded that poor Mizu with the birthmark.
How that girl suffered for you.
She honestly loved you.
Tokiwai.
Do you know this for certain?
Please have mercy on me.
Welcome her once more.
Tokiwai...
You beg for her even though you claim to still love me?
Is this another attempt to get power over me?
No.
But you're possessed.
The only one you always loved was yourself.
All you demanded was love.
And yet you sent away everybody who ever genuinely loved you.
I don't talk about myself.
I don't deserve your love.
Not anymore.
What?
How do you mean?
Forget it, Lord.
I beg you. Talk to that poor Mizu.
Even if it's just a few words.
It'll comfort her in her grief.
There she is.
You are Mizu, right?
Yes, Lord.
At your service.
I don't dare to look you in the face...
and yet i look after you with yearning.
That sounds very nice.
But didn't you want to get power and reputation as the mother of my son?
You do me wrong, Lord.
Power and reputation don't interest me.
I don't know such ambition.
Are you sure?
Yes, Lord.
I love you for your mercy.
I never forgot how you have shown me forgiveness.
Back then, when you forgave my mistake.
When i was careless and accidentally pulled the rope that sounded the bell.
How can i be sure you are really the girl from back then?
Maybe Tokiwai told you to say that.
Why do you distrust me, Lord?
How do i deserve that?
If you are really that girl you should have a scar from being branded.
Mizu.
You told me that you love me, right?
Prove it.
Would you be prepared to never again look at another man?
Yes.
If that is what you wish me to do.
You don't know what you're talking about.
However, if you can do that you will win my heart forever.
No, i don't believe a word! Lt's women's talk!
I could go to my old teacher Makino...
he's the only honest man i know.
Would he be able to help me in my doubt?
I envy you.
You have a marvellous garden, Makino.
I'm glad you like it, my Lord.
Unfortunately it ends over that hill.
What's over there isn't worth being looked at.
Nature rules there, in all her wildness.
Untamed nature can also be beautiful.
I must ask you to excuse me.
Just for a bit. L need to prepare the meal.
It's gotten cold.
Aguri, come and warm me.
What tender skin you have.
Those velvet cusps.
Aguri!
What do you feel?
What kind of woman is that? No anger, no despair, no desire.
Very well, i'll set her ablaze.
I want her to burn! Burn!
Aguri... look at me.
Don't you hear? Open your eyes.
Excuse me, Lord, for delaying you.
I've wanted to speak to you for a long time.
Don't think that what i'm about to tell you has anything to do with you desiring my wife.
However, i'd like to know what demon makes you live such an excessive life.
Have you ever considered how you are destrying the reputation of your family?
Do you think the people don't know about your excesses?
The palace walls aren't that high...
They can't keep everything secret.
Why look over them in the first place?
I'll ask you once more.
Which wicked demon has taken hold of you?
You don't reply because you know that i'm justly condemning you.
Or are you so far gone that you can't even hear me?
Answer me!
Makino...
Don't say anymore. I wanted your advice and you aim to break my face!
Let me warn you!
You will push it so far that people will cry tears of joy when you die!
Everybody who ever loved you will despise you because you caused them only pain.
Now you have to silently endure as your old teacher tells you the truth.
Lord, tell me to my face that i'm wrong.
Quiet, Makino!
Your words are cruel!
I didn't know that the truth can be so terrible.
Give it to me.
A day and two nights have passed since your visit.
I haven't been able to rest since then.
I was tortured by doubts. Was i justified in being so harsh to you?
Then i realized something: I was wrong to damn you.
The one who is really to blame is me, your old teacher.
I failed to prepare You for Your important duty.
This crushing debt will be paid by the death of me and mY wife.
Makino...
i already know.
No matter how you try to justify it...
Makino died because of you.
Makino.
Makino, forgive me.
Aguri, forgive me.
Forgive me!
Mizu.
Is that you, Lord?
Yes, i've been looking for you.
Forgive me.
Oh, my Lord.
Forgive me!
It's really you?
You've come to me.
My blind eyes can see you.
Mizu.
I can see you.
I can see you clearly.
I'll never forget this scene.
Mizu.
Even if i'm now surrounded by darkness,
...my heart is filled with light...
...for you have returned to me.
Mizu.
I was so evil. Evil and dumb.
Don't say that, Lord.
I will always love you.
You'll stay with me forever.
Even if i can't ever see you again.
Our paths separate forever.
Mizu.
Mizu.
I've always longed for real love.
And now that i've finally found it, i've already lost it again.
Is what i heard true?
You intend to acknowldge Zome's child as your own?
That's right.
How stupid of you.
Why do you get naive now?
I no longer understand you.
Nobody can say if it's your child.
You don't even think so yourself.
After all, that was the reason you sent Zome to Yana Gisawa.
I had doubts. That's true.
But i have to trust somebody sometime.
If i understand you correctly, you intend to have Zome's son as your successor?
Yes. My doubts and paranoia have an end now.
I have tortured enough people with them.
True enough.
But that's hardly a good reason to acknowldge that bastard.
I will do my best to love that child.
You should do the same.
Lord, i knew that you'd be the victim of a devilish plot.
I had to do it. Forgive me!
I'll come with you.
You won't have to go this way on your own.
It's good the way it is.
This woman, too, loved me in her own waY.
I realized it too late.
The other one, the one who still loves me, will pray for me.
You are the light on my dark path.
You will never again leave me, my love.
