<b>Your Majesty.</b>

00:34.900 --> 00:36.900

00:36.900 --> 00:38.280
<b>Your Majesty!</b>

00:39.690 --> 00:41.570
<b>Sheama.</b>

00:41.570 --> 00:46.480
<b>I'm sorry; I was lost in thought.</b>

00:46.480 --> 00:50.110
<b>You were... lost in thought?</b>

00:50.110 --> 00:51.320
<b>Yes.</b>

00:53.320 --> 00:54.530
<b>I see.</b>

00:54.530 --> 00:57.780
<b>I wonder, did the former
queen always look peaceful,</b>

00:57.780 --> 01:00.360
<b>or did she look like that sometimes, too?</b>

01:04.570 --> 01:08.190
<b>I am leaving to direct
the reconstruction of Metis.</b>

01:08.190 --> 01:10.230
<b>Please. I'm counting on you.</b>

01:10.230 --> 01:11.610
<b>Goodbye, then.</b>

03:08.900 --> 03:13.780
<b>Grant peace to all the people of White.</b>

03:14.820 --> 03:18.400
<b>Oh, were you praying?</b>

03:18.400 --> 03:22.150
<b>Yes, Sheama, I just finished.</b>

03:23.230 --> 03:26.190
<b>I see you're still an early bird.</b>

03:26.190 --> 03:28.480
<b>It's the one thing I'm good at.</b>

03:28.480 --> 03:29.940
<b>I wish I could do that.</b>

03:29.940 --> 03:35.820
<b>It doesn't matter. You have
Phious and Theo to look after.</b>

03:35.820 --> 03:39.820
<b>They certainly are a handful. Want them?</b>

03:39.820 --> 03:42.150
<b>You make them sound like things.</b>

03:42.150 --> 03:43.440
<b>Just kidding.</b>

03:43.440 --> 03:47.730
<b>Besides, you don't have time to
worry about things like that.</b>

03:47.730 --> 03:49.190
<b>True.</b>

03:49.190 --> 03:54.440
<b>Sheama, what is it that a Queen of Light needs?</b>

03:54.440 --> 03:58.190
<b>I'd like to know that myself.</b>

03:58.190 --> 03:59.610
<b>I have no idea.</b>

03:59.610 --> 04:04.440
<b>Still, one of us will succeed to the throne.</b>

04:04.440 --> 04:08.610
<b>Let's have no hard feelings,

04:08.610 --> 04:09.820
<b>Let's!</b>

04:15.780 --> 04:18.690
<b>I will show you the utmost devotion.</b>

04:18.690 --> 04:20.650
<b>Thank you very much.</b>

04:20.650 --> 04:23.360
<b>Now, please excuse us.</b>

04:25.440 --> 04:26.860
<b>How lovely.</b>

04:26.860 --> 04:30.860
<b>She deserves to be called the White Priestess.</b>

04:30.860 --> 04:33.190
<b>She really does.</b>

04:33.190 --> 04:36.070
<b>I think that succeeding her as queen</b>

04:36.070 --> 04:38.980
<b>will be a great responsibility.</b>

04:38.980 --> 04:40.570
<b>Were you scared?</b>

04:42.440 --> 04:45.320
<b>What do you think, Sheama?</b>

04:46.650 --> 04:49.070
<b>I was.</b>

04:50.230 --> 04:56.400
<b>"The White Priestess dwells in the heavens with
light, ever bearing one end of the balance."</b>

04:56.400 --> 04:59.230
<b>That means a life cooped up in the palace.</b>

04:59.230 --> 05:01.900
<b>I'd die of boredom.</b>

05:01.900 --> 05:04.780
<b>Oh, honestly, Sheama.</b>

05:04.780 --> 05:09.530
<b>Still, I'm sure that sitting properly
on the throne all the time isn't easy.</b>

05:09.530 --> 05:12.110
<b>It might not be as bad as you think.</b>

05:12.110 --> 05:13.230
<b>Huh?</b>

05:13.230 --> 05:14.610
<b>What do you mean?</b>

05:14.610 --> 05:18.940
<b>Maybe Her Majesty sneaks out of
the castle at night to have fun.</b>

05:18.940 --> 05:21.730
<b>No way could I believe that.</b>

05:21.730 --> 05:25.110
<b>But wouldn't it be funny if it were true?</b>

05:26.030 --> 05:28.980
<b>You've sure got some bold ideas.</b>

05:33.360 --> 05:36.860
<b>Speaking of which, you're coming over
for dinner tonight, right?</b>

05:36.860 --> 05:39.280
<b>Yes, I'm looking forward to it.</b>

05:39.280 --> 05:42.190
<b>Phious has been looking forward to it, too.</b>

05:42.190 --> 05:43.820
<b>I'm sure he has!</b>

05:43.820 --> 05:46.980
<b>It's been so long since we were all together.</b>

05:46.980 --> 05:50.190
<b>That's not quite what I meant.</b>

05:50.190 --> 05:51.530
<b>Hmm?</b>

05:51.530 --> 05:52.980
<b>Oh, forget it.</b>

05:54.230 --> 05:57.530
<b>I'll go pick some wild greens, then.</b>

05:57.530 --> 05:59.610
<b>Sure. Thanks.</b>

06:02.190 --> 06:04.690
<b>Oh, fuki buds.</b>

06:07.070 --> 06:09.530
<b>And angelica buds, too.</b>

06:12.480 --> 06:14.940
<b>They all look delicious.</b>

06:14.940 --> 06:17.230
<b>Oh! There are more over there.</b>

06:23.440 --> 06:25.230
<b>Thank you for the meal.</b>

06:25.230 --> 06:27.110
<b>It was delicious.</b>

06:27.110 --> 06:29.860
<b>Oh, it was nothing special.</b>

06:29.860 --> 06:31.650
<b>Come back anytime!</b>

06:31.650 --> 06:35.280
<b>Cooking for four isn't any more work

06:33.940 --> 06:35.280
<b>True, true.</b>

06:35.280 --> 06:37.030
<b>Thanks, I'd love to.</b>

06:37.030 --> 06:40.980
<b>Theo, you only get to say things like that
when you're the one who cooked!</b>

06:41.980 --> 06:44.190
<b>I was speaking on your behalf.</b>

06:44.190 --> 06:46.530
<b>Hey, don't get too full of yourself.</b>

06:48.940 --> 06:50.820
<b>Come again whenever you like.</b>

06:50.820 --> 06:52.150
<b>Thank you.</b>

06:53.360 --> 06:55.940
<b>Well then, I'll see Iris home.</b>

06:55.940 --> 06:56.940
<b>Get souvenirs.</b>

06:56.940 --> 06:58.110
<b>I will not!</b>

07:02.480 --> 07:08.570
<b>Good grief. Theo always gets more
annoying when we have company.</b>

07:08.570 --> 07:12.110
<b>It was an entertainingly lively meal.</b>

07:12.110 --> 07:14.150
<b>If you say so.</b>

07:14.150 --> 07:17.730
<b>I'm sorry I'm always imposing on you.</b>

07:17.730 --> 07:19.230
<b>Don't mention it.</b>

07:19.230 --> 07:21.980
<b>Not to parrot Theo, but it's no extra work.</b>

07:21.980 --> 07:24.400
<b>Besides, you always bring us wild greens.</b>

07:24.400 --> 07:26.570
<b>They grow all over in the mountains.</b>

07:26.570 --> 07:31.820
<b>No, the ones you pick for us... taste better.</b>

07:31.820 --> 07:33.230
<b>Do they?</b>

07:33.230 --> 07:34.820
<b>I think they taste the same no matter who--</b>

07:34.820 --> 07:35.730
<b>No!</b>

07:35.730 --> 07:36.570
<b>Huh?</b>

07:36.570 --> 07:38.610
<b>Oh, umm...</b>

07:38.610 --> 07:41.900
<b>Sorry. I shouldn't have shouted.</b>

07:41.900 --> 07:45.110
<b>But they really do taste better. I mean it.</b>

07:45.110 --> 07:47.780
<b>Do they really?</b>

07:47.780 --> 07:49.440
<b>I'm glad.</b>

07:49.440 --> 07:50.610
<b>Yes.</b>

07:50.610 --> 07:53.690
<b>I love... wild greens.</b>

07:57.980 --> 08:01.070
<b>Yes, I love them.</b>

08:01.070 --> 08:03.400
<b>So much that it can be a little bitter.</b>

08:05.940 --> 08:08.650
<b>Thank you for walking me home.</b>

08:08.650 --> 08:10.150
<b>I'll be fine from here.</b>

08:10.150 --> 08:13.110
<b>All right. Come back anytime.</b>

08:17.320 --> 08:18.780
<b>Phious!</b>

08:20.980 --> 08:25.530
<b>What does a Queen of Light need?</b>

08:25.530 --> 08:26.860
<b>Hmm...</b>

08:26.860 --> 08:30.070
<b>Th-That was a weird question. Forget it.</b>

08:30.070 --> 08:31.110
<b>No.</b>

08:31.110 --> 08:33.360
<b>I don't know the answer,</b>

08:33.360 --> 08:37.940
<b>but I think just thinking about
the queen's role is meaningful.</b>

08:39.030 --> 08:43.980
<b>I only think about what I should be doing
as a blade to protect the queen.</b>

08:46.110 --> 08:48.150
<b>Thank you very much.</b>

08:48.150 --> 08:52.360
<b>I'll think properly on my own</b>

08:52.360 --> 08:56.320
<b>about what matters most for a Queen of Light.</b>

08:59.530 --> 09:01.150
<b>What a nice breeze.</b>

09:02.320 --> 09:08.820
<b>But I'm sure that if I succeed
the Queen of Light, it will all change.</b>

09:08.820 --> 09:11.070
<b>Even the meaning of this view.</b>

09:15.980 --> 09:17.940
<b>I have to warn the knights!</b>

09:23.730 --> 09:26.440
<b>In that case, I'll just have to do it...</b>

09:26.440 --> 09:27.570
<b>...myself!</b>

09:28.440 --> 09:31.190
<b>Rune, lend me your power!</b>

09:33.690 --> 09:38.030
<b>Wicked darkness, vanish from these skies!</b>

09:54.070 --> 09:56.030
<b>I... did it?</b>

09:59.360 --> 10:02.360
<b>I dispelled the darkness!</b>

10:02.360 --> 10:03.530
<b>Huh?</b>

10:04.360 --> 10:08.190
<b>The White Priestess is the last bastion.</b>

10:08.190 --> 10:09.690
<b>This voice...</b>

10:09.690 --> 10:11.230
<b>Are you...?</b>

10:14.320 --> 10:18.900
<b>She must confront loneliness
and fight through it.</b>

10:19.900 --> 10:23.070
<b>Confront loneliness...</b>

10:23.070 --> 10:25.150
<b>...and fight through it.</b>

10:25.150 --> 10:29.150
<b>I will protect it, no matter
how lonely that duty is.</b>

10:29.150 --> 10:32.030
<b>I'll do it to maintain
the balance of black and white.</b>

10:32.030 --> 10:35.110
<b>That is my role.</b>

10:35.110 --> 10:38.570
<b>Even if I'm the only one who wishes for that,</b>

10:38.570 --> 10:41.190
<b>I will stand firm!</b>

10:44.030 --> 10:49.030
<b>"No. 03 Iris is an early riser"

10:53.650 --> 10:54.650
<b>Yes.</b>

10:54.650 --> 10:57.900
<b>It appears that you are fully prepared.</b>

11:00.190 --> 11:02.440
<b>Aren't you coming, Vallus?</b>

11:02.440 --> 11:04.440
<b>I must attend the king.</b>

11:06.860 --> 11:13.150
<b>You will participate in the ceremony
on the Skeers family's recommendation.</b>

11:13.150 --> 11:15.190
<b>Please have faith in yourself.</b>

11:15.190 --> 11:16.400
<b>Besides...</b>

11:17.690 --> 11:21.570
<b>...I can vouch for your ability.</b>

11:23.570 --> 11:24.900
<b>I'm going.</b>

11:27.400 --> 11:29.230
<b>Take care.</b>

11:31.320 --> 11:36.900
<b>We have gathered here today to determine
the ranks of the king's successors.</b>

11:36.900 --> 11:39.690
<b>Thank you for your participation!</b>

11:39.690 --> 11:42.940
<b>I will award the prime successor
who triumphs in this competition</b>

11:42.940 --> 11:44.320
<b>with this:</b>

11:45.570 --> 11:48.280
<b>the Greatsword of Black!</b>

11:50.280 --> 11:54.150
<b>So, whoever gets that

11:56.730 --> 11:57.820
<b>And?</b>

11:57.820 --> 12:00.780
<b>How are you going to rank us?</b>

12:00.780 --> 12:01.730
<b>First,</b>

12:01.730 --> 12:03.610
<b>you will battle monsters.</b>

12:03.610 --> 12:08.440
<b>The remaining two contenders
will then settle the matter in a duel.</b>

12:09.570 --> 12:10.980
<b>I see.</b>

12:10.980 --> 12:12.780
<b>I won't hold back.</b>

12:12.780 --> 12:16.940
<b>I hope you don't mind if someone
gets worse than just hurt.</b>

12:16.940 --> 12:18.860
<b>Please do not worry.</b>

12:18.860 --> 12:21.860
<b>We are prepared to provide aid.</b>

<b>Please feel free to withdraw

12:36.230 --> 12:39.570
<b>Now, are you all prepared?</b>

12:39.570 --> 12:41.440
<b>Yes!</b>

12:41.440 --> 12:45.440
<b>In that case, the competition will now begin!</b>

13:02.440 --> 13:04.530
<b>Is this all?</b>

13:15.320 --> 13:17.230
<b>What, over already?</b>

13:21.820 --> 13:23.070
<b>Huh?</b>

13:35.280 --> 13:36.940
<b>Well now.</b>

13:49.150 --> 13:51.900
<b>I knew they'd all be strong.</b>

13:54.280 --> 13:55.570
<b>What?!</b>

14:00.150 --> 14:01.730
<b>She's done for.</b>

14:04.980 --> 14:05.860
<b>Move!</b>

14:05.860 --> 14:07.320
<b>What?!</b>

14:14.730 --> 14:16.780
<b>Prince?!</b>

14:16.780 --> 14:18.230
<b>I don't need your mercy!</b>

14:18.230 --> 14:20.190
<b>Hey, you!</b>

14:20.190 --> 14:21.900
<b>What's the big idea?</b>

14:21.900 --> 14:25.150
<b>I helped someone. That's all.</b>

14:25.150 --> 14:26.530
<b>Hang on,</b>

14:26.530 --> 14:28.650
<b>are you kidding?</b>

14:29.530 --> 14:32.110
<b>Why did you save her?! Tell me!</b>

14:40.780 --> 14:43.150
<b>I wonder how many will survive this one.</b>

14:44.070 --> 14:45.400
<b>Too slow!</b>

14:59.730 --> 15:01.360
<b>At this distance...!</b>

15:08.030 --> 15:11.480
<b>Looks like I can't afford to
take this one lightly!</b>

15:22.150 --> 15:23.480
<b>Damn!</b>

15:24.900 --> 15:26.900
<b>You can burn together!</b>

15:43.070 --> 15:45.400
<b>Damn it... all...!</b>

15:46.940 --> 15:49.940
<b>What a bunch of clowns.</b>

15:49.940 --> 15:51.650
<b>Treat the wounded!</b>

15:51.650 --> 15:52.860
<b>Yes, ma'am!</b>

15:55.730 --> 15:58.780
<b>I'd expect no less from
the Skeers family's choice.</b>

15:58.780 --> 16:01.230
<b>We're the only ones left.</b>

16:04.150 --> 16:05.530
<b>Watch out!</b>

16:12.190 --> 16:13.980
<b>Want some more?</b>

16:15.320 --> 16:16.570
<b>N-No!</b>

16:16.570 --> 16:18.940
<b>I-I give up!</b>

16:18.940 --> 16:20.280
<b>Why?</b>

16:21.980 --> 16:25.150
<b>Because there's no point
going at it with small fry like him.</b>

16:29.570 --> 16:31.030
<b>That's enough!</b>

16:31.030 --> 16:35.360
<b>Once preparations are complete,
you two will duel!</b>

16:38.980 --> 16:40.820
<b>I want to ask you something.</b>

16:42.650 --> 16:45.440
<b>Why did you help a stranger?</b>

16:45.440 --> 16:47.690
<b>Didn't you do the same thing?</b>

16:47.690 --> 16:50.820
<b>I told you, there's no point fighting small fry!</b>

16:50.820 --> 16:55.360
<b>In that case, I helped someone
because they were about to be killed.</b>

16:56.480 --> 16:58.900
<b>Isn't that reason enough?</b>

16:58.900 --> 17:00.230
<b>No, it's not!</b>

17:00.230 --> 17:04.690
<b>If you want to be the King of Darkness,
you don't need to help people!</b>

17:04.690 --> 17:06.030
<b>What?!</b>

17:12.400 --> 17:14.860
<b>Other people won't help you.</b>

17:14.860 --> 17:17.900
<b>That's why you need power.</b>

17:19.610 --> 17:22.230
<b>If it will help you become king,</b>

17:22.230 --> 17:25.110
<b>you should just let other people die.</b>

17:25.110 --> 17:29.610
<b>If abandoning and killing people
is the only way to become king,</b>

17:29.610 --> 17:33.230
<b>then I'll find another way.</b>

17:33.230 --> 17:37.610
<b>You're going to end up regretting those words.</b>

17:59.360 --> 18:01.820
<b>Are you both ready?</b>

18:01.820 --> 18:03.030
<b>We are.</b>

18:04.150 --> 18:06.320
<b>Then begin!</b>

18:29.280 --> 18:32.230
<b>They seem evenly matched in skill.</b>

18:32.230 --> 18:33.780
<b>But...</b>

18:33.780 --> 18:35.150
<b>What's wrong?!</b>

18:35.150 --> 18:37.070
<b>Is that all you've got?!</b>

18:53.070 --> 18:54.360
<b>Why?</b>

18:54.360 --> 18:56.940
<b>Why won't you kill me?!</b>

18:56.940 --> 18:59.570
<b>I glimpsed an ideal,</b>

18:59.570 --> 19:03.860
<b>so I have a duty to devote my life to it!</b>

19:03.860 --> 19:05.650
<b>What?!</b>

19:05.650 --> 19:08.530
<b>I will change this world</b>

19:08.530 --> 19:11.650
<b>so that people can be happy!</b>

19:16.570 --> 19:19.570
<b>Spare me the platitudes!</b>

19:32.980 --> 19:36.360
<b>I... lose.</b>

19:36.360 --> 19:39.860
<b>You'll be the next king.</b>

19:43.530 --> 19:46.360
<b>The prime successor to the throne,</b>

19:46.360 --> 19:49.650
<b>the Prince of Darkness, has been born!</b>

19:53.900 --> 19:56.360
<b>Now, as proof,</b>

19:56.360 --> 19:58.480
<b>take the Greatsword of Black!</b>

20:09.150 --> 20:11.320
<b>Prove to me</b>

20:11.320 --> 20:14.320
<b>that you're not all talk.</b>

20:14.320 --> 20:15.530
<b>I will!</b>

20:19.030 --> 20:22.730
<b>So, anyway, what's your name?</b>

20:22.730 --> 20:26.730
<b>Huh? Talk about unfriendly.</b>

20:26.730 --> 20:27.820
<b>Oh well.</b>

20:27.820 --> 20:29.440
<b>I'm Adel.</b>

20:29.440 --> 20:33.110
<b>Pleased to meet you, Your Highness.</b>

20:38.690 --> 20:40.070
<b>Vallus.</b>

20:42.110 --> 20:45.650
<b>I see I need not ask how it went.</b>

20:46.980 --> 20:51.320
<b>So, what does the great
dark knight want with us?</b>

20:51.320 --> 20:54.400
<b>Deliver this... to the Kingdom of White.</b>

20:55.280 --> 21:03.480
<b>The first and second in line to the throne

21:03.480 --> 21:07.610
<b>The Kingdom... of White.</b>

21:34.610 --> 21:36.480
<b>Something wrong?</b>

21:36.480 --> 21:37.980
<b>I was just thinking.</b>

21:37.980 --> 21:39.230
<b>What about?</b>

21:40.650 --> 21:42.820
<b>About what a king needs...</b>

21:43.980 --> 21:45.820
<b>...and how they should be.</b>

23:22.280 --> 23:23.690
<b>Your Majesty!</b>
