01x10 - Why Raeliana Called Him Grandpa

[bunniefuu]

There he is!

I refuse to give up just because

he has a fiancée now!

If he'll just take this

handkerchief in his hands

Duke!

You're stepping on Lady Baylene's handkerchief!

Whoops. Dear me.

Lord Westernberg

Go apologize to the lady in my stead.

Tell her I'll make it up to her.

Very well.

It's been a while.

Yes.

What have you been looking at?

I was getting a lesson about never touching

things that belong to someone else.

To someone else?

Let's go.

Right

You seem to have lost some weight.

Yeah you could say I went

through some things.

Aren't those

the Holy Knights?

I had heard that I might or

might not see them once in my life,

but I thought it was incredibly rare

for them to leave the Holy Land.

Raeliana!

His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, Heika Demint.

The light's so bright

They didn't bring the Holy Knights

here just to do this, did they?

You didn't seem to understand

what a big deal I am,

so I opened the gate to the Holy Land

and brought the Holy Knights here.

What is with that disapproving look?

Just what is it she objects to?

You could try being

a bit more friendly, or

Friendly

But I've lived the past 150 years

with no family or friends.

Oh, I know!

There was one member

of the Holy Land's council

of elders who bragged

about his granddaughter!

Raeliana

Yes?

I will be your grandpa!

Go on, call me "Grandpa"!

I could never say something

so rude to Your Holiness.

I'm giving you permission to!

I really don't need

that kind of permission.

Wh-While that is truly a great honor

Y-Your Holiness, might I have a moment?

What is it?

Pardon us, my lady.

You boor!

How dare you take away my

precious time with my grandchild?!

What is the meaning of suddenly

calling yourself her "grandpa"?!

Well, there's a bit too much of an

age gap for me to be her father.

True

But considering your real age,

even "grandpa" is a bit

Wait, that's not the point!

I'm asking what you're trying to achieve

by suddenly taking her as your granddaughter!

You're the one who told me

to be more friendly!

I'm offering to be her grandfather!

What greater honor could there be?!

Honor?

H-He is so

What's the matter? Are you in pain?

Lord Westernberg, you seem tired.

Are you quite pleased with yourself

for sacrificing me to Lady Baylene?

Better than sacrificing you to a dragon, no?

Just stop getting in my way already!

I'm not getting in your way!

Raeliana

Uh Yes?

Just stay on the sidelines

and keep your mouth shut!

Where are you going?

Um The restroom.

I believe that would be

in the other direction.

Raeliana, what's that?

Huh?

Raeliana!

Don't move!

Stay still.

No way.

That thing was obviously about

to explode right on my head

Raeliana

How about it?

Will you call me your grandpa now?

Crystallite.

A mineral produced in the Holy Land.

Very few people have it due to

strict limitations on its import.

It looks beautiful,

but when exposed to light, it absorbs it

and explodes.

He has the look of a wild beast in his eyes.

I've learned in my 150 years

that those who don't plainly show

their emotions are the most underhanded.

How very disagreeable.

What is your relationship to my Raeliana?

Your Raeliana?

What? You have a problem

with me calling her that?

I am her fiancé.

It's difficult for women to exercise their

full abilities once they're married.

If she marries him and I lose access

to her talent with languages

I foresee you self-destructing

as a result of your dual personality.

Break up with my Raeliana.

This old fool

Your Holiness,

I give you my most heartfelt thanks

for saving my fiancée today.

I have heard that your organization's

financial situation has suffered of late.

I would like to offer it my support.

Because you saved my fiancée.

Your fiancée, you say?

Well, she's my granddaughter,

so you needn't worry about her. Ever.

You may advise me not to worry about her,

but it is my duty

to take care of my fiancée.

Your Grace, please allow me to explain

the financial support procedure.

Sir Adam

Your Grace.

Choose the most talented knights

and send them to Granger Castle.

If even a few more seconds had passed

No, if Heika hadn't been there

The moment it entered this dome,

it was fated to die.

Since Raeliana McMillan

is just a side character

Maybe she really is destined

to die in the end?

As Beatrice's reason for returning home

I have to stop this!

They say negative thoughts

will bring negative outcomes.

Before I get all disheartened,

I have to find out who was behind this.

When did it get darker in here?

Who's there?!

Raeliana?

You startled me!

You were genuinely in grave danger today!

Noah

I don't think it's very considerate of you

to come here without notice.

Francis Brooks and Jake Langston

are dead, and yet

So he lied about them being

sent to Saint Bell Prison?

Who is it?

I don't know what you're asking me.

Someone is trying to k*ll you.

Someone other than Francis Brooks.

Who is it?

I don't know!

Does it have something to do

with the royal seal?

Or is there something else going on?

Tell me the truth!

I'll tell you tomorrow.

No! Right now!

I don't want you getting into any

more situations that I can't control!

You're hurting me!

Tell me right now!

Take some time to cool

your head, Duke Wynknight.

Do you know what this place is?

The purification chamber, into which

only those with permission may enter.

Why am I so unable to stop myself?

Are you serious about Miss McMillan?

Why are you so angry?

Because I won't tell you the truth?

It's only natural that

Noah wouldn't believe me.

We're only together

because of our contract, after all.

So why is he so agitated?

Raeliana

I'm sorry.

It's just

when I thought that I might lose you

I nearly lost my mind.

What does that mean?

Please rest well.

What did he mean?

This way, please.

I nearly lost my mind.

The moment I start

thinking about it, I lose.

I've got this all wrong!

Yeah! It's all a mistake!

Normally, His Holiness refrains

from presiding over

the lighting of the sacred flame

in the interest of fairness.

He must have really taken

a liking to Miss McMillan.

Raeliana, I am your grandpa.

Your Holiness,

my rudeness toward you the other day

was by no means intentional.

Go on. Call me that.

I was just treating it

as a casual exchange

It's true that I had never been spoken

to in such a barbaric way before.

It was the first time I'd lost sleep

over something in all my 150 years.

Raeliana's real grandfather,

wherever you are

This isn't what I want at all,

so please forgive me.

I am grateful Grandpa.

Absolutely not!

What do you mean, you're going

with Miss McMillan?!

I am the supreme pontiff!

If I say I'm going, I'm going!

What is the issue?!

It is a tremendous issue!

It is unheard of for a supreme pontiff

to walk around anywhere he pleases!

Get out of my way!

I absolutely will not allow this!

Would you give it a rest already?!

Of all the times for you to use

that damn brute strength

Thank you, Head Priest.

From the bottom of my heart.

Justin, you are the eldest son

of the Shamal household.

You have a duty to succeed me

in leading this family.

Hey! Are you listening to me?

I hear you quite well.

Are you ever going to

stop fixating on that woman?

I have been planning

this trip for some time.

It has nothing to do with her.

You think I know nothing?

This is why I told you

to stay away from her.

Justin, wait!

Well, then

Your ungrateful son will now take his leave.

Go check in on Vivian.

She always listens to you.

Has something happened?

Apparently, the young McMillan lady

was involved in an accident

on the day of the lighting ceremony.

An accident?

There are rumors that it was all set up,

but the Wynknight household

is keeping strictly silent about that.

And what does that have to do with Vivian?

Well, only that she's probably asking

herself, "What if it had been me?"

In any case, Vivian is

to become queen one day.

I need you to convince her

to visit the king frequently.

He's desperate to get royal blood

into his family line.

Very well.

I'm counting on you.

I know Vivian.

This is most likely about

Duke Wynknight's fiancée.

How should I convince her?

This is all your fault!

What are you going to do about it?!

No, not mine.

This was your choice, my lady.

Vivian?!

Brother? When did you return?

What is going on here?

Nothing.

Ah, forgive me!

It was rude of me to behave

that way in front of a guest!

Please, think nothing of it.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Beatrice.
