01x10 - Nobleman

[bunniefuu]

Feel no shame about shape.

Weather changes the phrase.

Even mother will show you another way.

So, put your glasses on.

Nothing will be wrong.

There's no blame, there's no fame.

It's up to you.

The first words should be found.

Whatever holds you back.

I can I can get it off.

Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you want.

I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why you are afraid.

Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you'd say.

I don't know why I don't know why Too late It's too late.

Yurius I'm in luck.

Who is that kid?

Stand up, Adonis!

How shameful you are!

Were you really born of royal blood?

Now stand up!

Do not rest!

Your enemy never lets you rest in battle!

Your Highness, kindly call it a day for now Do not disturb us, Hassan!

Adonis will someday become commander of the White Dragon Knights, the strongest troop in the kingdom!

And that is not all!

It is even possible that he will marry Lady Charlotte and rule all Midland!

Since he was born royal he must carry such great responsibilities on his shoulders!

As a son of royalty, such a burden is his destiny!

Fight on!

Challenge me and b*at me back at least once!

So much for today.

Keep yourself warm, and be ready for tomorrow's training.

Master Adonis you're quite injured, I will treat your wounds.

Your father is desperate.

All alone, he has tried to raise you to maturity as a man and knight.

You should not think ill of your father.

Sir Griffith, we have heard your story That you protected the Princess' life with your own body How courageous you are!

It is kind of you, but I am no greater than a coward.

Sir Griffith.

Oh, it's Lord Raban and Lord Owen.

That was a terrible affair that occurred during the Hunt.

Indeed, we nearly lost an important property of Midland's army.

My life is nothing.

It is only important that Princess Charlotte is safe from harm.

Oh, she has become even more charming.

She must be in love with someone.

Your Highness, please excuse my tongue.

However, your rough lessons have recently taken another turn in that direction.

I understand what you're going through but you should be a little softer on the Young Master.

I know.

Lately, I have had little success with my duties in the royal court.

Owing to such affairs, I have become quite irritated.

I earnestly beg you not to overextend yourself.

Is it the wind?

What?

A burglar?

l-I know you You are Griffith's Excuse me B-Burglar?

He saw H-Hey What was that noise?

What is happening, Your Highness?

M-Master Adonis!

Who are you?

Let's go!

Burglar!

Don't let him get away!

What happened?

What's all this noise?

A burglar trespassed upon His Highness' room!

I-It can't be!

Oh, no How merciless this is After all that, this child didn't see his father's affectionate smile once in his life.

Mr.

Hassan Find the burglar!

You must not let him get out of the courtyard alive!

Yes, sir!

A sewer Find him!

He fell through here!

That sound I hear the sound of swords in battle Gambino!

That's right I always desperately wanted you to appreciate me.

Stop it!

I bet Griffith is enjoying a succulent meal right about now.

There are a lot of perks that he can enjoy at the Princess' evening party.

He has nothing to worry about but the formalities!

By the way, where is Guts?

I haven't seen him since this morning.

I bet he is busy, practicing with his sword as always!

He is just slacking off!

Our two companies were supposed to do joint drills today!

Without giving me any notice, he never showed!

No need to get so furious Damn, she's scary!

Guts!

Guts, where have you been running around all day long?

Thanks to you, we've gotten in trouble!

Do you really care about the unity of our band?

Wait, is this an arrow wound?

Griffith where is he?

Griffith attends the Lady Charlotte's soiree in Promrose palace.

I see Hey!

I still have words for you What's wrong with Guts?

Griffith I am a little tired Please have a seat here.

Thank you.

Wait!

Are you going there in that shabby outfit?

Don't bring shame on Griffith.

You better wait until they finish talking if you want to see him!

I'm borrowing this.

H-Hey Truth be told, I do not like holding a soiree, it is only a clamorous imposition.

This soiree is being held to comfort those who have restlessly fought in battles.

But I think they should rather stop the w*r itself than hold a soiree like this one.

Why do most men commit themselves to the affair of bloodshed?

You asked me such on the hunting field, My Lady.

Oh, yes Indeed, a man may have a barbarous side as you indicate.

However, that is a double-edged sword that can be used as a tool for winning precious things as well as protecting them.

Precious things?

Such as family and lovers?

For some of men, such things are duly precious.

But I believe that a man can find another, more precious thing, before those Something one pursues for one's own sake, and not for the sake of any other.

A dream.

A dream A dream can hold supremacy over the world for one who dedicates his entire life to forging only a single sword.

While many dreams can be pursued in solitude some dreams are like storms, blowing apart hundreds or thousands of other dreams as they go.

A dream can support a man's life or make him suffer A dream can make a man feel alive, and k*ll him as well.

Even if a man is abandoned by that dream part of it will remain to smolder deep within his heart.

Every man should visualize his own life in this way, at least once.

Living as a martyr for God in the name of a dream Some say there's nothing more to life than to live long and die in vain.

I hate that sort of notion, I can't stand it.

I am sorry, I became carried away with my talk.

You must be getting bored.

O-Oh, no I have never talked with a man like this before I thought you were one of the aristocracy when first I laid my eyes upon you.

Young as you are, you have so much presence.

But when you taught me how to play a piece of reed in the hunting field you looked like a child.

And now, you are like a philosopher telling me your thoughts.

You are marvelous Your friends must be fascinated by your charm, too.

They are my able soldiers.

They are important comrades who devote themselves to my dream.

However, they are not necessarily my friends.

It is my perception that a true friend never relies on another's dream.

A person with the potential to be my true friend must be able to find his reason for life without my help.

And, he would have to put his heart and soul into protecting his dream.

He would never hesitate to fight for his dream, even against me.

For me, a true friend is one who stands equal on those terms.

You have great confidence in yourself.

I have attained everything with my faith.

And now I am allowed to talk with you, the Princess of the kingdom.

Will you tell me your dream?

Princess!

Something awful has happened!

What ever is the matter?

Your uncle, Count Yurius, has been k*lled!

That can not be!

He was assassinated!

A burglar stole into his study and even Young Master Adonis was k*lled The court has been thrown into an uproar.

What tremendous numbers Well, I've heard that the upcoming battles could end the w*r.

I hope such a thing becomes reality.

No need to worry!

Midland's army has a guardian angel!

Speak of the devil Are you setting out?

Yes, Minister Foss.

We no longer have General Yurius, only you are left.

You are now the guardian deity of Midland, I prey for your good fortune in battle.

That seems to be an exaggeration.

However, I shall exert myself to the utmost.

At any rate, I cannot bear this news of the assassinations.

It is cruel that Young Master Adonis was k*lled, he was only a child.

Only a devil would do that.

No, it was not a devil's doing.

It was a man's doing, Minister.

By the way Sir Griffith, I happened to hear of an odd rumor.

An odd rumor?

That the arrow aimed at Lady Charlotte in the hunting field could possibly have been aimed at you.

Could that be true?

Aiming at a humble unit commander?

According to the rumor the assassin did not hail from the Empire of Chuder, but our own court.

In the royal court, there is a cavern filled with evil spirits buried under its beautiful surface.

It is no surprise that many people are brewing up dark plots in the court.

My goodness It does not matter at all whether they k*ll a man within the sanctuary of the court or outside of it.

As far as such people are concerned That is an interesting theory.

Well, then I will strive to keep any unpleasantries as far outside the court as possible.

Excuse me.

He seems to have held himself far above our conversation.

Was it not his doing?

No, that cannot be true.

If it was an accident, it would be far too good to be true.

W-Wait, could it be that he knows about me?

No, no man could discover my intrigue, however keen he is.

Besides, there is no evidence left.

For me, a true friend is one who stands equal on those terms.
