WEBVTT 00:04.040 --> 00:06.650 There is no value in a country that has lost all its power. 00:06.980 --> 00:09.780 When a nation's collapse is only a matter of time, 00:09.780 --> 00:12.530 the only question is how to deal the final blow. 00:13.230 --> 00:15.660 I have a request to make of you, Prince Kyle. 00:17.190 --> 00:21.870 Won't you first form a modest alliance with me? 00:23.260 --> 00:25.860 In order to avoid a future in which Coyolles is destroyed, 00:25.860 --> 00:28.750 I've formed an alliance with Prince Kyle. 00:29.400 --> 00:30.260 However... 00:31.470 --> 00:35.760 If it were Arnold Hein, then I have the feeling that he'd use it quite effectively... 00:37.320 --> 00:39.140 this compound I've created, 00:39.800 --> 00:42.350 which I call black powder. 00:43.640 --> 00:45.640 Professor Michel's aim is to find out 00:45.640 --> 00:49.340 how large an effect black powder will have on the world. 00:49.810 --> 00:51.890 To achieve that end, the professor 00:51.890 --> 00:55.440 will surely point out black powder's power to Prince Arnold. 00:57.110 --> 01:00.160 I must find a way to stop the professor's experiment, no matter what it takes. 03:02.570 --> 03:04.580 These are leto fireflies. 03:04.580 --> 03:06.350 They're so beautiful! 03:34.440 --> 03:36.340 G-Good evening. 03:37.440 --> 03:38.180 Indeed. 03:46.720 --> 03:47.860 What are these? 03:48.300 --> 03:49.510 They're fireflies. 03:50.090 --> 03:50.930 Fireflies. 03:54.120 --> 03:58.250 If you wish for them to be exterminated, I'll give the order. 03:58.250 --> 03:59.750 What?

After all, you can jump down to the ground from a palace balcony. 06:03.360 --> 06:04.960 Then, why... 06:08.410 --> 06:13.390 Even though I know, I moved reflexively. I couldn't help it. 06:35.720 --> 06:37.610 Thank you. 06:38.620 --> 06:43.420 You do realize that you could have gone out into the hallway and come through the door? 06:44.950 --> 06:46.180 Through the door? 06:46.460 --> 06:47.540 Through the door. 06:49.200 --> 06:50.170 You're right! 06:51.650 --> 06:55.600 The way you cut across via the shortest route is just like that other time. 06:56.040 --> 06:57.890 Whatever could you mean? 07:01.110 --> 07:03.780 By the way, why do you have your sword? 07:05.560 --> 07:09.390 I mistook the light of the fireflies for torches. 07:12.040 --> 07:13.610 Now that he mentions it, 07:13.610 --> 07:16.420 their light does resemble the torches you see on a battlefield. 07:20.050 --> 07:24.860 Memories of the war are vividly, deeply embedded within him. 07:43.550 --> 07:44.900 They truly are... 07:45.360 --> 07:47.130 such beautiful eyes. 07:52.470 --> 07:55.000 These eyes are the same color as my father's. 07:55.590 --> 07:58.900 They serve as proof that I carry the same blood as my father, the emperor. 07:59.620 --> 08:04.480 When I was a child, I very much wanted to gouge both of my eyes out. 08:05.210 --> 08:06.230 Your Highness... 08:07.230 --> 08:12.340 They aren't something you should gaze at in that manner. 08:14.210 --> 08:19.520 There is a deep hostility between Prince Arnold and his father which seems boundless. 08:22.490 --> 08:27.620 The day you first came to this palace, you said you had an admiration for this country. 08:28.760 --> 08:33.940 I am unable to feel admiration in the same way that you do. 08:34.390 --> 08:36.760 The light of fireflies looks like the fires of war... 08:36.760 --> 08:39.280 and looking down from here, 08:39.280 --> 08:41.930 the view of the capital is infuriating to me. 08:41.930 --> 08:45.360 Perhaps it's because of these eyes I've inherited from my father, 08:45.360 --> 08:46.970 or perhaps it's because of my nature... 08:47.960 --> 08:51.540 Either way, it doesn't change the fact that it's repulsive to me. 08:55.400 --> 09:01.460 Lights seen from far away might look like wartime fires or like firefly lights. 09:01.460 --> 09:05.020 The values inherent to such a perception aren't inherited from one's parents, 09:05.020 --> 09:08.380 they are gained through all the things a person has experienced. 09:10.040 --> 09:12.270 In which case, you just need to learn. 09:12.690 --> 09:16.790 Learn about the beauty of this nation and the magnificent things that live in it. 09:17.570 --> 09:20.280 In the future yet to come, you can do that as much as you like. 09:21.380 --> 09:23.370 I have no need of such things. 09:23.820 --> 09:27.080 As long as there are things I can use to achieve my aims, that's enough. 09:27.080 --> 09:28.050 Your Highness... 09:28.590 --> 09:32.710 I've even killed people I held dear with my own hands. 09:33.210 --> 09:36.920 Even you.
