See you all!
Hey there, what are you up to?
Did you see Banshee?
She passed by earlier.
She left with some unknown woman.
Thank you.
Wait.
You can't see fairy footprints, right?
I'll help you track her.
I'm not exactly asking you to return the favour, but would you please draw my portrait?
All gentlemen should have one, right?
Sure, that's a simple request.
Let's go then.
The footprints stop here.
Let's go in.
What? Hey, wait!
It isn't locked.
I guess I have no choice.
Banshee?
Are you all right, Banshee?
You're the Blue Knight Countess's...?
You would know, right?
You should be able to tell the ones who are blood related to the Earl's family.
Yes, I feel it.
I feel the same power from you as I did from The Lady Gladys.
How can that be...?

Wait, Banshee.
He's not the Blue Knight Earl. Edgar is...
Be silent, child of O'Neill!
Paul!
Ermine, please make our guests feel welcome.
Understood, Lord Ulysses.
Since we're at it, there's something I'd like to ask you.
Yes?
Are you relieved that it wasn't the Earl who came here in search of her?
Or are you more relieved that it wasn't your little brother?
Bad news, Edgar!
The banshee and Paul are gone!
I can't find Nico, either.
Lydia, I was just about to call for you.
Nico!
He was dumped here inside a trunk.
How could they...?
Why? Was it the Prince's men?
The reason that Paul and the banshee are missing is probably due to the Prince, also.
Hang in there, Nico. Don't die.
He doesn't look injured though.
Maybe he might wake up if he catches a whiff of some tea?
Go away.
I was just trying to make you feel better.
Then you can start by shutting up.
I beg your pardon. I'll keep quiet.
Not you. Please tell me anything you might have noticed.
You sure treat him differently.
Naturally.
Nico doesn't have his whiskers.
Nico, are you coming around?
My whiskers...?
Don't look!
He seems perfectly fine.
Don't look! Don't look at me!
Why not? Is it because you have no whiskers?
Don't look!
Nico, Paul and the banshee have disappeared.
The banshee was taken by some unknown woman and Paul went after them.
I followed him to help track her, but...
You got caught?
He took my precious whiskers!
So, Paul is with the banshee?
I was with them up by the water mill past the river, south of Chelsea.
Nico, it's quite unusual for you to get caught.
It's been a long time since I'd met a fairy doctor other than Lydia, so my guard was down.
He was called Lord Ulysses if I remember correctly.
He called himself the Blue Knight Earl.
Blue Knight Earl?
Did you find out anything else, Nico?
Who was the woman who took the banshee?
I fainted from the shock when they cut my whiskers, so I don't really remember.
But, she wasn't human.
She's a fairy?
Yeah, she's a selkie.
Why would there be a selkie in the middle of town?
Never mind that! Give me a mirror now!
Nico...
If he's a fairy doctor, then he would know what fairies hate.
I'm just glad you're safe.
Raven, get the Scarlet Moon to search for the water mill that Nico mentioned.
Who's Ulysses?
The name of one of the Prince's most trusted subordinates, if I'm not mistaken.
I saw him several times when I was working for the Prince.
By the way, Lydia, is there a maximum timespan in which a banshee can foresee someone's death?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
I guess it'd probably be within a week.
I see.
Well, I'll contact you if I find out anything about Paul and the banshee.
Paul, you're safe!
I'm sorry for making you worry.
They took Banshee.
What's most important is that you're safe, Paul.
Can you continue where you left off?
What Ulysses is after isn't just Banshee...
...but also the amber that can unlock her memory.
Using amber to unlock her memories?
It seems that Banshee's memory was sealed inside tears of amber when she foresaw The Lady Gladys's death.
So that's why you're still alive.
Yes. He asked me to find that amber stone.
He asked me whether I had any leads out of necessity, but I had no clue.
Because of that, he said that I should be able to find the sealed amber if I requested your help.
He couldn't even find it ransacking your place. It sounds like he's provoking me to take action.
Also, Paul, has the banshee been taken hostage?
Ah, no.
I don't think they'll harm her, but...
So you're saying the banshee acknowledges the Prince's man as one of the Blue Knight Earl family?
So, Ulysses is really part of the Blue Knight Earl's family?
Lydia, supposing he used his fairy doctor powers, would it be possible to get the banshee to acknowledge him as her master?
That would be impossible.
That answers one thing then.
We can say for sure that the blood of the Blue Knight Earl flows inside Ulysses.
You don't say...!
But, I was the one acknowledged as the Blue Knight Earl.
I'll find the amber stone before him and steal a march on him.
But why did the banshee appear before Paul?
Paul, does anything come to mind?
Come to think of it, she said that I had a reminiscent scent.
As I suspected.
I reckon that the amber is with someone close to you.
Why do you say that?
I'm sure the banshee must have sensed something.
Ulysses thought that your father possessed it too, didn't he?
Even in Slade's salon, the only works that were stolen or damaged were O'Neill's.
Lydia, would acquiring what the banshee is keeping...
...mean gaining powers equal to being the real Blue Knight Earl?
It might.
If Lady Gladys sealed the banshee's memory into amber...
...then it, in itself, might be an item of fairy magic or something similar.
So that's why the Prince wants it so badly.
And that's why the Prince fears it falling into someone else's hands.
Either way, we must find that amber.
Paul, you wouldn't mind us searching your boarding house, would you?
Not at all.
Raven, contact the Scarlet Moon as well.
Right away.
Pardon me, Your Honour.
But, may we speak in private?
You were the selkie who was wandering around on my turf before, weren't you?
Your turf?
You're going to let the woman you like get taken away from you by a human?
What did you say?
Take the fairy doctor and return to your homeland at once.
You don't want to let her to die, do you?
Who are you?
Looks like a death has been foreseen.
That's a tear from that banshee who's living in your house, right?
Why are you here?
Say, Blue Knight Earl. You still don't plan to annul your engagement with Lydia?
You sure don't give up. It won't happen.
You're going to die soon anyway. Why don't you just annul it?
It'll be too late once something happens to Lydia.
There's a chance she could get swept up along with you in the death prophecy.
Lord Edgar, pardon me.
Looks like you're off the hook.
Your servant is quite troublesome.
Good timing, Raven.
Was someone here?
Yes. Cain.
Raven, what's wrong?
Nothing.
I thought my sister was there.
Ermine?
Yes, I felt her presence once before too.
Dead men don't come back to life.
Isn't that correct, Raven?
Yes.
That would mean... she's no longer human.
Nico, don't you want dinner?
Come on, Nico. Even without your whiskers, you're still a gentleman.
In spite of being cold-hearted because of your fickle mood, I know you have your good points.
And, I found something really nice on the way back, so I bought it.
It's a mask for a masquerade.
It's a miniature ornament, so I'm sure it'd be perfect for you.
It'll hide your whiskers too.
Lydia, be careful.
Ulysses isn't your average fairy doctor.
I've never seen one like him.
He even has the power to control spectral hounds.
Spectral hounds?
Isn't that an Unseelie Court?
So, the spectral hound that appeared before...?
That's why you should stop involving yourself.
That's even more reason not to leave Edgar and the others.
No, don't!
I told you that a selkie was the one who took the banshee, right?
Ulysses called her Ermine.
Ermine, you say? It couldn't possibly be...
Wasn't she one of the Earl's old friends who died at sea?
If that's the case, then...
But that's...
Paul heard it too. So I'm sure the Earl got word of it too.
Your Honour, I don't remember ever receiving amber items from O'Neill.
Are these all of O'Neill's works?
Yes. I'm going to look deeper into this hereafter.
Slade, if you have any important messages regarding this matter...
...I'd like you to give them to me directly, bypassing Paul.
Did Jimmy mess up or something?
No. It's just a precaution.
I can't put him in harm's way.
News of the information leak came from you, right?
The Prince's men may already be hidden in our ranks.
There are already so many victims to his name.
Yes, there are.
Nothing.
I thought my sister was there.
Ermine?
Lord Edgar...
Excuse me.
Can you bring me some gin, please?
Yes, Milord.
I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.
Ah, that's right.
She looks like Lydia, doesn't she?
I feel like my worries would be dispelled if I could just see Lydia.
I guess I'm really spoiled by you.
Lydia, I want to see you.
Very much.
Why am I going to Edgar's place?
Am I going to tell him to cheer up if he's feeling down?
I don't even know if he's at home...
Good evening, Raven.
Good evening. What's the matter, Miss Lydia?
Well, I kind of forgot something here.
Is that so?
Um, is Edgar out?
He returned a little while ago.
Is he doing well?
Like he normally is.
Is he alone?
It's all right if he has guests.
It's not like I need to see him.
Miss Lydia, since you're already here, please go see Lord Edgar.
But...
I'll take you to him.
Lord Edgar, I've brought Miss Lydia.
Lydia! I'm so happy to see you!
I didn't think you'd come visit at this hour.
I'm not properly dressed right now, but please overlook that.
Sure. Um, I...
...just came to get something I forgot here!
I'm going soon actually.
Don't say that, since you're here already.
It's okay. I...
I was just thinking about you.
Did my feelings reach you?
What, so you were perfectly fine.
There was nothing to be worried about.
This is a labourer's drink.
I often drank this with my friends in America.
By the way Lydia, what was it that you forgot here?
Just a little something.
More importantly, Edgar, are you drunk?
I haven't drunk much, yet I feel kinda good.
How did you know that I wanted to see you?
It wasn't like that...
I bet you heard something from Nico, and got worried, right?
Well, there was a little something that was on my mind.
He said that Ermine was with Ulysses.
Ermine is your... err...
...the name of someone you know very well, right? I just found it hard to believe.
Please don't speak to anyone about this, okay?
Yes, of course.
But, what are you going to do?
I don't know yet.
I guess not.
We still don't have any concrete evidence.
I'm so glad you came here to tell me that.
Please don't go back yet.
But, it's getting late.
I'm not going to return your coat.
Then, I'll go home with what I have on right now.
Wait.
Are you okay? Don't push yourself.
You're really too kind-hearted.
I want you to stay with me. Please.
You came here because you were worried about me, didn't you?
As lovers, it's all right to think that you want to support me, right?
Edgar...
...I came because I'm your friend.
I want to spend the night together.
What are you saying?! That's out of the question!
How could I even think of giving up?!
I need you! Please be mine!
I don't plan on being anyone's...
You saved me, didn't you?
If you abandon me, I don't think I can survive.
Don't, Edgar.
Hey! Put me down!
I love you.
But... like this...
I may be a pathetic man, yet you still accept me as I am.
You'll forgive me, won't you?
Ermine...
I shouldn't have worried about him.

Yes?
Do you need something delivered to the Earl's place?
No. About that...
It's become too dangerous to ask a child to this work.
But...
You've done well all this time.
You can go home once you've finished with that.
Well done.
