Congratulations on your engagement, Your Highness.

You have chosen quite the wonderful partner.

At the time, I was at my wit's end. Who I would marry was the problem.

That sly old tanuki! He's so shameless...

Uncle!

These teaching materials were very good.

Aren't they? Dr. Letzi's books are very popular.

If you'll excuse me...

Chris.

I think you're just angry.

The lady of Miseral would be an ideal princess, don't you think?

You should be stepping away from your childhood attachments now.

Uncle, I know that.

But… still…

The feelings that I have toward Eli aren't like what I have for other girls.

Chris…

A book market?

This is the place...

I want to go to a book market.

It's a market that sells books the Star of Sissel has, and it only opens once every three years.

That's where I encountered Dr. Letzi.

Nicola Letzi? Unbelievable, that's the same name as on the book...

Hmph. A naïve little chick, I see.

Your world is still far too small.

Because of that, the tanuki known as that girl's father will take advantage of you as well.

How do I win him over?

Hell if I know.

What are you going to do if you don't take back the two or three girls you like on your own?

You spineless, cowardly baby chick.

There are such things as stars crossing paths...

Stars crossing paths?

The time when you and that girl's stars cross paths may come someday.

Whether or not it'll happen I don't know, I'm no astrologer.

Hey…

Indeed, polishing your skills for when that time comes is what a naïve little chick should do.

At that moment, I felt my surging irritation go quiet.

I thought I would put my efforts towards when that day came.

The next time we met, I would make sure I wouldn't get torn apart.

Thanks, old man.

Yeah.

Now, one more drink.

After that, all of the money I had on hand was used for alcohol, in the name of the study of life.

That day, I was once again re-educated.

I don't believe grown-ups.

What do I owe you?

Don't tell me you forgot.

The Treasure of Hers and the Prince

Is this the young lady the chick tried to frantically take back from the tanuki?

Tanuki?

Hey.

Want to hear an old story about this young lad?

If you pay for the drinks, I'll tell you some things that may or may not be true!

I'm Elianna. It's an honor to meet you, Doctor.

That aside, I have something to say!

Hm?

Take me to the chief of the Star of Sissel.

The chief? For what? Is there going to be an attack by a knight of Sauslind?

I just want to talk.

Think of it as a service to someone you extorted out of money for alcohol and mediate.

Eh? You treated me only once, it's not worth it.

Rene. Go on and head home to your mother.

We'll be there later.

Lord Chris.

How did you come to know the people of the Star of Sissel in the past?

Uh… Er, I'll tell you later.

Let's head out now.

Well… I'm going to escort Rene.

Eli?

Though I should be dealing with the Bernstein family matter,

somehow I can't be by His Highness' side right now.

Since I got here, I've seen a different side of the prince than I normally do.

Though on one hand I am happy, the fact that there's a past that I'm unaware of also leads to anxiety.

But what causes me the most anxiety is that I can't remember a single thing from when I met His Highness.

Lady Elianna. Are you all right?

Lord Alan…

Don't suffer alone with your troubles, it's best you tell Lord Chris your grievances and anxieties.

If you don't, Glen will be the target of his anger and he'll be discouraged.

Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you.

Let's go, Miss!

Sure.

Rene! Paolo!

Hey guys!

You two are okay?

Yeah!

This lady and her friends helped us!

We thought you'd gotten caught.

We told him we're not listening to another word that mole noble says.

That's when he got upset.

Rene's mom is locked up in that mansion.

Huh?! What?!

She is?!

I'll be right back.

He said he's gonna burn all the books to get rid of the evidence too.

We came back because we want to talk to the chief.

Burn the books?

Huh?

Where is he?! Where is that noble?!

Not only is Rene's mother locked up, he'd resort to such a barbaric act as burning books!

He can't even be considered human any more!

I'll take you there!

This way!

Lady Elianna?!

You're the bad guys!

N-no!

Wait!

What a diaboloical thing to do!

I know you!

He's always around His Highness at social events. I believe his name is…

Baron Mole!

It's "Maudslay"!

Burning books is behavior lower than an animal's!

I cannot allow you to do this!

You are beneath ground beetles! You ought to be ashamed!

G-ground…

It's obvious that you used children to steal books and deceived others with my family name!

Admit to your crimes, and hand over Rene's mother.

Lady Elianna, what are you saying after such a sudden appearance?

Do you truly accept what these rootless wanderers say?

Well then, what do you have to say for those books over there?

These are books I have purchased.

Nu-uh! That man ordered us to go and steal books!

And you said you were a Bernstein!

Preposterous!

Now then, Lady Elianna, shall we make a deal?

A deal?

I will keep that you, the fiancé of the Crown Prince, are in cahoots with the rootless wanderers to myself.

In return for that, you will discontinue those ridiculous measures you are currently promoting.

Measures?

I refuse to belive that they would pass the budget on to something like that

and let business negotiations with the Bers Company slip away!

The Bers Company is currently attempting to undertake the manufacture of new weapons!

Our kingdom should take this opportunity as our own

before it is passed along to another country, by any means necessary.

This is for the future of our land!

When I consider the future of the country,

I think we should alott expenses towards the research of curing illnesses amongst our people

over developing weapons to hurt others.

As our predecessors said: A place that burns books will eventually become that who burns people as well.

The only thing I know is that we must not become a country like that.

I cannot accept your deal.

Though you are merely taking advantage of the Prince's prestige, how petty and devious of you.

Well then, you will hear me by force!

Miss...

Stop right there.

Your Highness...

Prince Christopher... What are you doing here?!

This is outrageous.

There is no possible way that I have caused Eli to face danger alone, is there, Baron Maudslay?

Your Highness, I-I haven't done a thing...

I beg you, pay no mind to what the children of the Star of Sissel have said!

Those scamps are from a most foul people.

I am a noble devoted to my country,

and as an intelligent royal you should understand who is more worthy of your trust!

Whatever your point, the true issue here is that we are in a situation where a sword is pointed at my fiancé.

Oh, about that...

Moreover...

it seems you have an extreme derision for the people of the Star of Sissel,

I will listen to what they have to say, and I will do it properly and clearly.

Please wait, Prince Christopher!

Do you not understand what must be done for the sake of the country?!

There's one more thing I forgot to mention, Baron Maudslay.

The Bers Company, the weapons manufacturer that you glorified, has somehow been horribly scammed.

Eh?!

There was an old man involved in the field who professed

that no one could surpass him when it comes to weapon deveolopment.

When the weapons were finished, made according to the blueprints he had written, they were all defective.

Th-there's no way!

Now then, why is the Bers Company now in the throes of bankruptcy?

On top of that, I heard that he was swindled out of a large amount of money for alcohol and ran away.

Huh?!

There are some troubled old people in this world.

H-how absurd...

Arrest him!

What? It's over?

I don't get to have my moment?

You're late.

Aw, I went fast and everything...

Eli.

I-I'm so terribly sorry! I chose to take action all on my own and-

Good grief.

I can't take my eyes off of you for a second.

Y-Your Highn-

There aren't many princesses who will march into a scoundrel's lair without waiting for the prince.

P-please forgive me.

Um, are you angry with me?

Does it look like I am?

Mister! Miss!

They said my mom's inside! I'm going in there!

Shall we go too?

Yes.

Mom!

Rene...

Is it okay for you to get up?

Yes. And Paolo is here too.

Eli?

It's, well... she reminds me of my mother.

Mom, I met a knight of Sauslind who has the same blue eyes as me.

I thought he was my dad.

He told me a fairy tale.

It was about a blue-eyed boy and a princess,

and the princess told him magic words to break the evil spell his mother was under.

He said what's important is always invisible.

That was...

And the knight told me something.

You must not lose sight of what is important to you.

You know, I already knew it.

My dad isn't alive anymore.

Rene...

Mom, I'm not gonna run away from the truth anymore. After all,

I'm a member of the Star of Sissel, and we continue to seek the truth.

Rene.

In Sauslind, the country started running a charity hospital that brought together doctors and herbalists,

and an institution specializing in disease just about ten days ago.

It has?

It's a hospital that anyone can come to freely.

Even us, in the Star of Sissel?!

Of course.

Wow!

Awesome!

Miss, this is great!

Yes!

The country is running it, but the name of the person in charge is, Elianna Bernstein.

Huh?

Your Highness... why am I in charge?

Because you are the one who initiated it.

I-I am?

That's right.

Elianna, why do you like books so much?

Because I'm looking for my mom.

Your mom?

Yes. My mom died three years ago, so I hardly have any memories of her.

That's why I read the books my mom liked and think about what she liked about them.

When I do that, I feel I'm talking with my mom.

Also, I just need to find out if there was a way to cure my mom back then.

So, just like there are books in the library, I hope there will be a library of doctors that anyone can make use of.

A library of doctors...

If there's a library of doctors, there may be less people that grieve the loss of their mothers, like at my house.

It'd be nice to have a charity hospital where anyone can be seen.

Your Highness, you remember such an old conversation?

Even still, I...

What's going on, Miss?

You said that you're not sure if you are lovers, but it looks like you're super into him.

Eli, you said you weren't sure?

Er, I mean...

Why, Eli?

Don't suffer alone with your troubles, it's best you tell Lord Chris your grievances and anxieties.

I... It's been on my mind since the other day, but... I don't remember.

I don't remember when we met a long time ago.

Eli...

I'm so very sorry.

Your Highness has cherished all of these memories of me like this, and yet...

Eli! Elianna!

Y-Your Highness, we are in company!

Eli, I'm so happy. You're making an effort to remember, I can't believe it!

Um...

C'mon, Miss.

You can just kiss him, right?

Pardon?

I mean, you know that old saying. The spell cast on the princess can be broken by the prince's kiss.

Yes, he's right. Let's give that a shot.

No thank you!

Then what are the magic words?

Huh?

The spell on the princess can be broken by magic words, right?

Magic words... magic words...

What's important is always invisible.

The magic words you told me broke the spell.

Elianna. The next time we meet, I'll tell you some magic words that only you'll know.

What is it?

I remember it!

Thank you!

See ya!

Young man, remember, the Star of Sissel is always watching.

The Star Traveler was probably written by someone in the Star of Sissel.

Hm?

Eli, how did you remember that thing from so long ago?

Well... um, in the end, I wanted to remember.

Because there was something a long time ago that allowed me to be by your side right now.

As I can't remember, I feel like I'm not right for you.

So I thought I should remember.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll be honest with you. The truth is, at first, I was worried.

Huh?

People change.

And the situation with your mother... I thought you may have changed in the time I didn't see you.

Your Highness...

But nothing about you changed. You remained the bibliophile princess that I knew.

I see you unchanged in these past four years,

but I see you have grown to be a little different then you were long ago,

and I fall in love with you all over again, Elianna.

It's the same for me.

In these four years, I've come to think of Your Highness as more precious to me than books.

Eli...

What's important is always invisible.

The magic words you told me broke the spell.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Elianna. The next time we meet, I'll tell you some secret magic words that only you will know.

Your Highness, will you tell me those secret magic words you promised you would that day?

Eli.

You are my treasure.
