Capulet's daughter, is it?
She was alive, after all.
The rumors say she ran off with Montague's son, don't they?
That is nothing for us to be concerned about, though.
So then, what shall we do?
Y-You?
I do not object to seizing the moment and dashing out to save her...
...but we would be captured rather quickly, I'm afraid.
Then, what would you have us do?
Fortunately...
...in this uproar, they have neglected to search for us.
Now that we have the opportunity, let's return to the safe house and contrive a plan of attack.
We will bring you to safety.
Never fear.
We have brought the Capulet girl.
Proceed.
I have long awaited this day...
...Juliet, daughter of the Capulets.
You have done well to survive this long.
Montague...
The murderer of Father and Mother...
And also... Romeo's-
It seems you were discovered together with Romeo.
To what place did you entice my son?
Did you plot to abduct Romeo and cause the downfall of my House?
Juliet Fiammata Asto Capulet!
On the day after tomorrow...
...you will be publicly executed!
Take her away.
Sir.
If I die...
If I die, will you spare the other survivors of the Capulet household?!
I am not afraid to die!
I cannot forgive any who are connected to the Capulets!
Atone for your sins with your life.
How filthy!
Deceiving the Grand Duke's own son...
What an appalling witch.
Who could have guessed that Romeo would run off with the Capulet girl?
Someone who would seduce Lord Romeo...
What sort of person could she be?
I wish to ask her what intentions she had, so that I may inform him.
Does the Capulet girl bother you that much?
All right.
I will ask the Duke if he may allow you to meet with her.
Romeo...
Excuse my intrusion.
Romeo.
You were tricked.
That woman approached you in order to overthrow me.
She only wished to reclaim Neo Verona and this Keep.
That is not true.
You were tricked.
I was not!
Fool.
As you say, Father, I may be a fool.
But I love Juliet!
We love each other deeply from the very bottom of our hearts!
Where are the girl's followers, the remnants of the Capulets?
I do not know.
Who sheltered the girl all of this time?
I do not know.
Who is in league with her?
I do not know.
Well, no matter.
Sooner or later, they will be found.
Once that girl is executed.
Of what sin do you accuse Juliet of being guilty?
Sin?
Her sin is being born a Capulet.
No matter how much you may love that girl, you are the son of the Montagues.
How that girl must have suffered...
...her days filled with bitterness and hatred in an inexorable fate.
You may leave.
Use this time to calm your emotions.
Either way, the Capulet girl will die.
Please proceed.
This one.
I brought a change of clothing for you.
When I saw you earlier, you were so ragged that I was moved to pity.
Who are you?
I am Hermione de Borromeo.
Lord Romeo's fiancée.
Thank you for giving him the handkerchief.
Lord Romeo was quite pleased by it.
As his fiancée, I must warn you.
Please do not dally with his feelings!
He is terribly ingenuous.
I love Romeo with all my heart.
If you desire anything for your cell, please ask.
In return for the handkerchief, I will...
Thank you.
But I desire nothing.
I see.
Then I shall take my leave.
I am sorry...
Are you all right?
I will not be deceived.
Her face so trim and lovely; that embroidered handkerchief...
And her embroidery, so faltering and unsteady...
It is no wonder that Lord Romeo was taken in by her wiles.
The Capulet girl is to be publicly executed.
Terrible news.
I don't understand.
Why would Juliet run away with Montague's son?
The execution is set for the day after tomorrow...
That is sooner than we thought.
Juliet was in love with Montague's son?
I would never have guessed that Romeo would choose Juliet...
I should have pressed her to tell me more...
How painful it must have been...
Sworn to kill the father of the one you love!
Cordelia...
We will rescue her.
Antonio.
Show us Sir Conrad's map.
Yes.
This...?
This is a sketch of Sir Conrad's that details the route to the Keep's dungeons.
The dungeons are...
...here.
Yes.
Getting there will not be easy.
If you enter at the racecourse, it is but a short distance to the dungeons.
You are sure?
Yes.
We will approach from the air.
Unlike the main gatehouse...
...the east wing near the racecourse should only be lightly guarded.
We will ride pegasi and cut through them in one swoop.
Antonio, ready the pegasi.
Wait for us, Juliet.
You riders there!
Flight is forbidden in this area!
Intruders!
Curio, go on ahead.
I will cover you.
Understood.
Antonio, here.
Okay.
They have appeared sooner than I thought.
You are so loud!
What has occurred?
Intruders, sir!
We believe their objective is to recover the Capulet girl!
Hurry up and kill them.
Sir!
Go, quickly!
Escalus.
Juliet!
Curio!
Damn you!
Curio.
We are getting you out of here.
If I run, they will hunt me down again.
And someone will be injured trying to protect me again!
Shut up!
Do you believe you will find peace in death?
Think of the people you will leave behind instead!
For these past fourteen years, we have all survived by placing our hopes in you!
Weren't you going to change this city?
If you give up, Lancelot's transformation into the Red Whirlwind and his death will be for naught!
All of this time, I have placed my life on the line to protect you.
What will you risk your life for?
Love?
You may; it is all the same to me, but...
Nothing will come of it if you die here.
Francisco is holding the line for us up above.
Quickly!
Excuse the intrusion.
Mercutio.
You could light a lamp, you know.
Has something happened?
It seems that some Capulet survivors have broken into the Keep in an attempt to rescue that girl.
What did you say?
All the Keep's guards are being used as reinforcements.
The guards on your door have left as well.
My thanks, Mercutio.
Not at all.
What's wrong, Juliet?!
This feeling...
It's the same as...
A magnificent tree...
The goddess's smile...
...is the source of restful sleep.
The motion of the wings...
...draws arcs of light.
The sound of a baby yet unborn...
...and a new morning.
Now, the fresh buds shall sprout from these.
What are you doing?
What is the meaning of this?
Why is the Capulet girl here?
What?
What is the meaning of this?
The one that grants the breath of life...
...will again return, without fail, to Escalus.
Where are you, Juliet?
Damn it!
Where are you, Juliet?
Not good. It's the Duke's Guards!
Hold on tight!
Where are you, Juliet?
Where am I?
There she is!
This way!
Honestly, this girl causes us so much trouble.
There is nowhere left for her to run.
Take her!
Juliet!
Lord Romeo!
If you even consider laying a hand on Juliet, you will have to face me first!
Those soldiers are acting strangely.
What are they doing?
Curio! Francisco!
I saw Juliet!
Where, Antonio?
This way!
Go, quickly!
Romeo!
It's all right. Go!
No. Come with me...
Juliet. If I run, I will only be caught again.
So, I will find a way to be with you without running away!
Go on.
Romeo!
It's all right.
Even when we are apart, we are together.
Our hearts will never be apart.
We both vowed...
...to be eternally together, in life and in death.
In The Next Episode
Young one, know gratitude; know shame.
Know thy mother; know thy father.
Know thy friends.
And also...
...know thine own powerlessness.
