(next episode preview)
I am Princess Francesca, heiress to the throne of Ikstova.
I object!
The sudden emergence of the princess...
shocked the people of Ikstova.
Coupled with House Member Nihito's remark...
I prayed from the bottom of my heart.
"Give Fiona strength!"
There are so many people.
To everyone who came here to listen to the speech...
I hereby extend my apologies on behalf of Major Ker.
Please forgive this woman's insensitive comments.
Ten years ago, the Royal Family ascended to Heaven.
To overcome such sorrow,
how many years did it take for the people of Ikstova?
Unfortunately, for this hero who hails from foreign soil,
sharing such thoughts is too much to ask of.
Major Ker, before you attempt to ridicule the people and the Royal Family of Ikstova any further...
...please leave the premises.
Yeah! Go home!
Sorry, but that goes for you as well.
In that case, all I have to do is show evidence, correct?
Evidence?
Yes, proof that I am truly Princess Francesca.
If you have such proof, show it to me.
Anyone from Ikstova would know of this.
Hurry!
This is the token of a Royal Family member.
Token?
It can't be!
Huh? Is it for real?
What's the meaning of this?
However, there is no proof that it's genuine.
It could be a pendant sold anywhere.
Give it to me...
The day I relinquish this is the day I die.
You should know that more than anyone.
It must be real!
Everybody, please quiet down.
Wouldn't you say a stunt like this is a waste of everybody's time?
How can anyone verify the authenticity of that pendant?
Excuse me...
May I take a look at it?
I am Rean Warren, who was a security officer for the Royal Palace ten years ago.
Princess Francesca, back when you were a child, there was one time when we played.
But, didn't all of the security officers perish in the fire that day?
No, not everyone died.
Are you saying that there were survivors?
I have never heard of such a thing.
Of course you haven't.
What kind of person would claim that he survived, when he couldn't even protect the Royal Family?
All of the security guards, including me, who didn't die that day...
never said a word and lived in obscurity.
Inspector Warren, thank you for your courageous testimony.
You're welcome.
Would you please show me the reverse side?
What's going on?
Inspector Warren, hurry up and tell us!
The engraving of the Royal Family's crest,
together with Princess Francesca's symbol of...
...the left wilting flower.
Left?
It is the same sight which Princess Francesca once showed me.
There is no doubt that it is real!
All right!
Wil, she did it!
Allison, that hurts.
Princess Francesca, you are still the same as back then.
Thank you, Inspector Warren.
Princess Francesca!
Fi, everyone's waiting for you.
I, Francesca, extend my gratitude to the people of Ikstova from the bottom of my heart.
Princess!
Wait, Owen Nihito!
You've forgotten something.
This is yours, isn't it?
A valuable item embellished with the Nihito family crest.
This came into my possession ten years ago, on the night of the fire.
This is the cuff link I pulled from your shirt's sleeve when I was held hostage.
Owen Nihito, I hereby prosecute you on the grounds of assaulting the Royal Palace.
Nihito, you better give up.
Fi!
Don't come any closer!
If you do, she'll die.
The vexation I felt for not being able to protect everyone ten years ago...
I'm not going to make the same mistake!
Don't, Inspector Warren!
Inspector Warren!
Inspector Warren...
I'm all right.
More importantly, Princess Francesca...
Hold it!
Wil, hurry! Fiona is in serious trouble!
Allison, where are you going? That's the wrong direction!
Let go of me!
Stop resisting!
Just like now, you took me hostage back then.
And proceeded to take out my mother and father.
That's right.
In order to rescue you, both the King and Queen were in pursuit.
That's why I fired without holding back.
How could you do such a thing?
Fi!
I'm coming to rescue you right away!
Allison, don't tell me you're...
Yes, I am.
After all, the villain has taken the princess hostage.
Don't you think I have to save her right away?
Princess!
Owen Nihito!
Resistance is futile.
Let the princess go!
Major Ker!
Prepare my means of escape immediately!
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen.
You have no place to run.
Give up!
Is that so?
Major Ker!
What?
This was pretty expensive... you know.
Fi, I promised you, didn't I?
That I'd punch him on your behalf.
You...
Um, Fiona...
Allison.
I mean, Princess Francesca.
Mr. Warren,
Yes?
Please excuse us for a while.
But, for security reasons, I must be at your side.
They are my saviors as well as my best friends.
Yes, Your Highness.
Thank you very much.
I wanted to properly express my gratitude.
You're welcome, Princess Francesca.
If it's all right with you, call me Fi, Allison.
Wil, did you already forget Fi's face after a week?
Fiona, you're not really Princess Francesca, are you?
Hey, what's wrong with you, Wil?
Although you actually are a princess.
Because you were twins.
Am I wrong?
Wil!
It's okay.
I was going to tell them the truth anyway.
Fi...
Huh? What? What is it?
Will you listen to my story?
A fire broke out at the palace!
Hurry up and bring her in!
Ten years ago, I met my older sister Francesca for the first and only time.
Who are you?
Fiona.
Everyone calls me Fi.
Fi, I'm glad to meet you.
Could you come closer?
Okay.
Who are you?
You'll know later, Fi.
Fi, I have a favor to ask you.
Until the time you learn the truth...
I want you to hold on to this all the time, and don't show it to anyone else.
Wow, it's very pretty!
But...
It's okay.
Huh?
What is mine is also yours, Fi.
I have to go.
Farewell.
Huh?
Fi, I am happy to have met you.
The time I realized the girl was Princess Francesca, and my older twin sister...
was long after that.
When my grandfather, who raised me, passed away, Nihito's cuff link...
was found among his belongings.
I didn't realize what it was until I saw the picture.
Thus, I came to the realization that bringing this man to justice...
was what I existed for.
Fi...
Wil, how did you know?
That I was a twin,
and that I wasn't Francesca, but her younger sister.
I saw the symbol of the Princess hung at the village assembly hall.
It was wilting towards the right.
However, the twin flower engraved on Princess Francesca's pendant was wilting towards the left.
Huh? Which means...
The symbol hung at the village was originally made for Fiona.
In the way the twin flower would blossom in symmetry.
That can't be...
I see, in order to protect Fiona, the people of the village...
were sent by the Royal Family from the beginning.
It can't be.
There are several obvious hints.
The fact that the age group distribution of the villagers is skewed...
That the men were military trained...
The Royal Family of Ikstova has a peculiar law where they allow only one child...
Therefore, that village was built especially for the purpose of protecting Fiona.
I just had to tell you.
So I was being taken care of for twenty years.
And they will take care of you as long as its necessary.
They will continue to wait until the day you return, Fi.
Can I go back to the village?
Yes, of course.
When you feel like returning, I want to be there with you.
You notice the secret behind the twin flowers, but you don't even realize my feelings.
Did you just say something?
Nothing.
What's the matter?
Allison?
One day, at Fiona's village,
there will come a day when the four of us can enjoy tea.
Those were my thoughts upon looking at the final snowfall of the year.
Wil, look at the wonderful train!
It might be too fancy for us.
Dinner must be something exquisite!
Translator & editor's note: Allison misspells バイキング (viking), which refers to a smörgåsbord.
Tomorrow's breakfast is going to be hiking!
Hiking? You mean viking!
Huh? Really?
