1. In this world...
Copy !req
2. Is the destiny of mankind controlled
by some transcendental entity or law?
Copy !req
3. Is it like the hand
of God hovering above?
Copy !req
4. At least it is true...
Copy !req
5. that man has no control,
even over his own will.
Copy !req
6. I want to ask you to kill a man for me.
Copy !req
7. Kill a man?
Copy !req
8. Who?
Copy !req
9. The man who is next in line
to the throne of Midland...
Copy !req
10. Count Julius.
Copy !req
11. Feel no shame about shape.
Copy !req
12. Weather changes their phrase.
Copy !req
13. Even mother will show you another way.
Copy !req
14. So put your glasses on.
Copy !req
15. Nothing will be wrong.
Copy !req
16. There's no blame. There's no fame.
Copy !req
17. It's up to you.
Copy !req
18. The first words should be found.
Copy !req
19. Whatever holds you back.
Copy !req
20. I...
Copy !req
21. can...
Copy !req
22. I can get it off.
Copy !req
23. Tell me what...
Copy !req
24. Tell me what...
Copy !req
25. Tell me what you want.
Copy !req
26. I don't know why...
Copy !req
27. Don't know why...
Copy !req
28. Don't know why you're afraid.
Copy !req
29. Tell me what...
Copy !req
30. Tell me what...
Copy !req
31. Tell me what you'd say.
Copy !req
32. I don't know why...
Copy !req
33. Don't know why...
Copy !req
34. Too late...
Copy !req
35. It's too late.
Copy !req
36. Noble Man
Copy !req
37. Julius...
Copy !req
38. I'm in luck.
Copy !req
39. Who is that kid?
Copy !req
40. Stand up, Adonis!
Copy !req
41. How shameful you are!
Copy !req
42. Were you really born of royal blood?
Copy !req
43. Now stand up!
Copy !req
44. Do not rest!
Copy !req
45. Your enemies never
let you rest in battle!
Copy !req
46. Your Highness,
kindly call it a day for now...
Copy !req
47. Do not disturb us, Hassan!
Copy !req
48. Adonis will someday become...
Copy !req
49. commander of the White Dragon
Knights, the land's strongest troop!
Copy !req
50. And that is not all!
Copy !req
51. It is even possible that he will marry
Lady Charlotte and rule all Midland!
Copy !req
52. Those who were born into royalty...
Copy !req
53. must carry heavier burdens
than those who were not.
Copy !req
54. Such a burden is his destiny!
Copy !req
55. Fight on!
Copy !req
56. Let's see you try to take
at least one match from me!
Copy !req
57. So much for today.
Copy !req
58. Keep yourself warm and
be ready for tomorrow's training.
Copy !req
59. Master Adonis...
Copy !req
60. you're quite injured.
I will treat your wounds.
Copy !req
61. Your father is desperate.
Copy !req
62. As your only parent, he's just trying
to raise you into a full-fledged knight.
Copy !req
63. You should not think ill of your father.
Copy !req
64. Sir Griffith, we have heard your story...
Copy !req
65. You protected the princess's
life with your own body...
Copy !req
66. How courageous you are!
Copy !req
67. Your words are too kind.
I am really no more than a coward.
Copy !req
68. Sir Griffith.
Copy !req
69. Oh, it's Lord Raban and Lord Owen.
Copy !req
70. That was a terrible affair
that occurred during the hunt.
Copy !req
71. Indeed. We nearly lost
a vital asset of Midland's army.
Copy !req
72. My life is nothing.
Copy !req
73. It is only important that
Princess Charlotte is safe from harm.
Copy !req
74. Oh, she has become
even more charming.
Copy !req
75. She must be in love with someone.
Copy !req
76. Your Highness,
please excuse my tongue.
Copy !req
77. However, your rigorous lessons have
become even more demanding of late.
Copy !req
78. I understand
what you're going through...
Copy !req
79. but you should be a little
easier on the young master.
Copy !req
80. I know.
Copy !req
81. Lately, I have had little success
with my duties in the royal court.
Copy !req
82. Due to such affairs,
I have become quite irritated.
Copy !req
83. I earnestly beg you not
to overextend yourself.
Copy !req
84. Is it the wind?
Copy !req
85. What?
Copy !req
86. A burglar?
Copy !req
87. I-I know you...
Copy !req
88. You are...
Copy !req
89. Griffith's...
Copy !req
90. Excuse me...
Copy !req
91. B-Burglar?
Copy !req
92. He saw...
Copy !req
93. H-Hey...
Copy !req
94. What was that noise?
Copy !req
95. What is happening, Your Highness?
Copy !req
96. M-Master Adonis!
Copy !req
97. Who are you?
Copy !req
98. Let's go!
Copy !req
99. Burglar!
Copy !req
100. Don't let him get away!
Copy !req
101. What happened?
Copy !req
102. What's all this noise?
Copy !req
103. A burglar trespassed
upon His Highness's room!
Copy !req
104. I-It can't be!
Copy !req
105. Oh no...
Copy !req
106. How merciless this is...
Copy !req
107. After all he's been through, he never
once saw a father's smile of affection.
Copy !req
108. Mr. Hassan...
Copy !req
109. Find the burglar!
Copy !req
110. You must not let him
get out of the courtyard alive!
Copy !req
111. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
112. A sewer...
Copy !req
113. Find him!
Copy !req
114. He fell over here!
Copy !req
115. That sound...
Copy !req
116. I hear the sound of...
Copy !req
117. swords in battle...
Copy !req
118. Gambino!
Copy !req
119. That's right...
Copy !req
120. I always desperately wanted
you to appreciate me.
Copy !req
121. Stop it!
Copy !req
122. I bet Griffith is enjoying
a succulent meal right about now.
Copy !req
123. There are a lot of perks that he can
enjoy at the princess's evening party.
Copy !req
124. He has nothing to worry about
except for the formalities!
Copy !req
125. By the way, where is Guts?
Copy !req
126. I haven't seen him since this morning.
Copy !req
127. I bet he is busy practicing
with his sword as always!
Copy !req
128. He is just slacking off!
Copy !req
129. Our two companies were
supposed to do joint drills today!
Copy !req
130. Without giving me any notice,
he never showed!
Copy !req
131. No need to get so furious...
Copy !req
132. Damn, she's scary!
Copy !req
133. Guts!
Copy !req
134. Guts, where have you been
running around all day long?
Copy !req
135. You caused us a lot
of trouble I'll have you know!
Copy !req
136. Do you really care about group unity?
Copy !req
137. Wait, is this an arrow wound?
Copy !req
138. Griffith...
Copy !req
139. where is he?
Copy !req
140. Griffith is attending Lady Charlotte's
soirée in Promrose Palace.
Copy !req
141. I see...
Copy !req
142. Hey!
Copy !req
143. I'm not finished...
Copy !req
144. What's wrong with Guts?
Copy !req
145. Griffith...
Copy !req
146. I am a little tired...
Copy !req
147. Please have a seat here.
Copy !req
148. Thank you.
Copy !req
149. Wait!
Copy !req
150. Are you going there
in that shabby outfit?
Copy !req
151. Don't bring shame to Griffith.
Copy !req
152. You better wait until they finish
talking if you want to see him!
Copy !req
153. I'm borrowing this.
Copy !req
154. H-Hey...
Copy !req
155. In truth, I am not fond of soirées. They
are clamorous affairs, nothing more.
Copy !req
156. This one is being held to comfort
those who've fought tirelessly in battles.
Copy !req
157. But...
Copy !req
158. I think they should rather...
Copy !req
159. stop the war itself than
hold a soirée like this one.
Copy !req
160. Why do most men commit
themselves to the affair of bloodshed?
Copy !req
161. You asked me such on
the hunting field, my lady.
Copy !req
162. Oh, yes...
Copy !req
163. Indeed, men may have
a barbarous side as you indicate.
Copy !req
164. However, it is...
Copy !req
165. a tool to be used for both claiming
and protecting precious things.
Copy !req
166. It is a double-edged sword.
Copy !req
167. Precious things?
Copy !req
168. Such as family... or lovers?
Copy !req
169. For some men,
such things are duly cherished.
Copy !req
170. But there is one other thing more
precious to a man beyond all else...
Copy !req
171. Something one pursues for one's
own sake and not for that of any other.
Copy !req
172. A dream.
Copy !req
173. A dream...
Copy !req
174. Some dream of ruling the world...
Copy !req
175. dedicating their entire life...
Copy !req
176. to forging the perfect sword.
Copy !req
177. While some can be pursued
alone, some are like storms...
Copy !req
178. blowing apart hundreds or
thousands of other dreams as they go.
Copy !req
179. A dream can fortify a man's life,
or it can bring suffering upon it.
Copy !req
180. A dream can make a man
feel alive, or it can kill him instead.
Copy !req
181. Even if a man
is abandoned by that dream...
Copy !req
182. part of it will remain
smoldering in his heart.
Copy !req
183. Every man has envisioned
his life in this way, at least once.
Copy !req
184. A life as a martyr
to his dream, his God.
Copy !req
185. To simply exist just
because one's been born...
Copy !req
186. is the sort of notion
that I hate. I can't stand it.
Copy !req
187. I am sorry. I got carried away.
Copy !req
188. You must be getting bored.
Copy !req
189. O-Oh no...
Copy !req
190. I have never talked
with a man like this before...
Copy !req
191. I thought you were one of
the aristocracy when I first saw you.
Copy !req
192. You have so much command
for someone so young.
Copy !req
193. But on the hunting field, when you
taught me to whistle with a reed...
Copy !req
194. you looked...
Copy !req
195. like a child.
Copy !req
196. And now, you are like a philosopher,
enlightening me with your thoughts.
Copy !req
197. You are marvelous...
Copy !req
198. Your friends must be
fascinated by your charm too.
Copy !req
199. They are my able soldiers.
Copy !req
200. They are important comrades who
devote themselves to my dream.
Copy !req
201. However, they are not
necessarily my friends.
Copy !req
202. In my eyes, a true friend is someone
who never clings to another's dream.
Copy !req
203. Someone independent...
Copy !req
204. who can find his own reason to live
and follow that path without guidance.
Copy !req
205. And if anyone tries to crush his
dream, protect it heart and soul.
Copy !req
206. Even if that person
happened to be me.
Copy !req
207. For me, a true friend...
Copy !req
208. is someone
whom I consider my equal.
Copy !req
209. You have great confidence in yourself.
Copy !req
210. That is exactly
how I attained everything.
Copy !req
211. And now...
Copy !req
212. I am allowed to talk with you,
the princess of the kingdom.
Copy !req
213. Will you tell me your dream?
Copy !req
214. Princess!
Copy !req
215. Something awful has happened!
Copy !req
216. What ever is the matter?
Copy !req
217. Your uncle,
Count Julius, has been killed!
Copy !req
218. That cannot be!
Copy !req
219. He was assassinated!
Copy !req
220. A burglar broke into his study and
even killed young Master Adonis...
Copy !req
221. The court has been
thrown into an uproar.
Copy !req
222. What tremendous numbers...
Copy !req
223. Well, I've heard that the upcoming
battles could end the war.
Copy !req
224. I hope such a thing becomes reality.
Copy !req
225. No need to worry!
Copy !req
226. Midland's army has a guardian angel!
Copy !req
227. Speak of the devil...
Copy !req
228. Are you setting out?
Copy !req
229. Yes, Minister Foss.
Copy !req
230. We no longer have
General Julius. Only you are left.
Copy !req
231. You are now the guardian deity of
Midland. I pray for your good fortune...
Copy !req
232. in battle.
Copy !req
233. That seems to be an exaggeration.
Copy !req
234. However, I shall exert
myself to the utmost.
Copy !req
235. At any rate, I cannot bear
the news of the assassinations.
Copy !req
236. It is cruel that young Master Adonis
was killed. He was only a child.
Copy !req
237. Only a devil would do that.
Copy !req
238. No, it was not a devil's doing.
Copy !req
239. It was a man's doing, Minister.
Copy !req
240. By the way, Sir Griffith,
I happened to hear an odd rumor.
Copy !req
241. An odd rumor?
Copy !req
242. That the arrow aimed at
Lady Charlotte on the hunting field...
Copy !req
243. could possibly
have been aimed at you.
Copy !req
244. Could that be true?
Copy !req
245. Aiming at a humble unit commander?
Copy !req
246. According to the rumor...
Copy !req
247. the assassin did not hail from
the Tudor Empire, but our own court.
Copy !req
248. A royal court, you see...
Copy !req
249. is like a viper's nest
underneath its graceful facade.
Copy !req
250. It is no surprise that many people
are brewing up dark plots in the court.
Copy !req
251. My goodness...
Copy !req
252. For these people...
Copy !req
253. It is only a matter of killing a man
inside or outside the castle...
Copy !req
254. That is the only difference.
Copy !req
255. That is an interesting theory.
Copy !req
256. Well, then I will...
Copy !req
257. strive to keep any unpleasantries
as far outside the court as possible.
Copy !req
258. Excuse me.
Copy !req
259. He did not even bat an eyelash!
Copy !req
260. Does that mean it was not his doing?
Copy !req
261. No, that cannot be.
Copy !req
262. If it were an accident,
it would be far too good to be true.
Copy !req
263. W-Wait, could it be that
he knows about me?
Copy !req
264. No, no man could discover my
intrigue, however keen he is.
Copy !req
265. Besides, there is no evidence left.
Copy !req
266. For me, a true friend...
Copy !req
267. is someone
whom I consider my equal.
Copy !req
268. Looking back, the morning comes.
Copy !req
269. Don't find your face in your glass.
Copy !req
270. Take the moonlight by the tail.
Copy !req
271. It's a rainy sight. You're shading.
Copy !req
272. What is that?
Copy !req
273. It's just the same.
Copy !req
274. What is trying your crown?
Copy !req
275. I'm spending my glass, walking back.
Copy !req
276. So wear my glass. You're fading.
Copy !req
277. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
278. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
279. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
280. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
281. I'm waiting so long.
Copy !req
282. I'm waiting...
Copy !req
283. Next Episode
Copy !req
284. In this world, nothing is more
variable than the human heart.
Copy !req
285. No man can escape
the feeling of love...
Copy !req
286. and no man can suppress
what the heart desires.
Copy !req
287. If growing closer
to someone will bring a man joy...
Copy !req
288. even if it ultimately leads
to his own destruction...
Copy !req
289. Is it also true that
man is fascinated with ruin?
