Here!
And here, and here!
Come on!
Right here, right here!
I said I'm right here!
Are you blind with those incredibly big eyes?
Imagine that I'm your mother's killer!
Mom's killer...
Who told you to stab a tree?
Here.
You'll never be able to avenge your mother like this.
Rosalie, a poor girl from the slums of Paris, became an orphan...
when her mother was run over by the carriage of a blond lady.
Thanks to Oscar's mercy, she is now adopted by the Jarjayes family...
and is training in swordsmanship.
Here it comes!
There!
Right, left, shoulder!
You're still wide open to attack!
You'll be skewered!
Watch out!
Stand your ground.
I said I'd teach you how to fight with a sword, not how to swim.
Come on.
Are you all right, Rosalie?
I'm angry!
You enjoy making a fool of me like this everyday!
You're making fun of my sincere feelings!
You'll catch a cold if you stay soaked.
You should change your clothes.
You've got it wrong.
I'm not making fun of you.
Lady Oscar...
I'm sorry
I...
The Rose of Versailles
Kusamurani namo shirezu
The flowers blooming in the wilderness

A gentle breeze

My destiny is of a rose

Born to live in glory and passion

Episode 16
"My Mother's Name is?"
Do you really think that you can find the woman who killed Rosalie's mother?
To be honest, I don't really have much confidence...
Rosalie is desperate.
If you can't find her, she'll be extremely disappointed.
I know.
André, I have a favor to ask you.
Favor?
For the next week, devote your time to Rosalie.
She's not here.
Excuse me.
It has Lady Oscar's smell...
How can such a person exist?
How can such a person exist in this world?
I'm so happy that I can be by Lady Oscar's side.
But I have to avenge my mother.
That's why Lady Oscar took pity me.
But I...
I feel strange.
What's wrong with me?
Why, Lady Oscar?
Why were you born as a woman?
Lady Oscar...
What are you doing in my room?
Excuse me!
Wait!
I'm sorry.
Nanny told me to put your shirt in the drawer.
Please excuse me.
Wait.
At the beginning of next week, there will be a ball at Mme. Elizabeth's.
I'll take you there.
I ain't learned how to dance
And, I ain't learned how to behave...
Don't say "ain't". Say "I haven't."
OK
How about this?
You're a distant relative of my elder sister's husband.
But...!
We'll teach you dancing and conversation starting today.
André will be your partner.
Most of the Court ladies are invited to that ball.
A ball that most of the Ladies go to...
Yes!
Perhaps that woman will come, too!
I'll never forget that face!
All right?
Yes.
A captain of the Royal Guard?!
Yes.
No kidding.
How can someone like me?
It's for real. Cardinal Rohan will take care of it.
Cardinal Rohan is that guy that Queen Antoinette hates?
I told him that you're a Count.
A Count?!
Right.
Listen. You're Count Nicolas de la Motte.
And I'm Countess Jeanne Valois de la Motte.
How can we!?
What'll happen if the military police learn that I'm calling myself a Count...
without paying the tax?
Yes, it'll be dangerous for us to stay here.
What are we going to do, then?!
I borrowed money and rented a big mansion in Nouveau Saint-Gil.
We'll move in there right away.
Jeanne, what a woman you are...
There'll be a ball at Madame Elizabeth's next week.
If you have a mansion and wear the proper uniform of the Royal Guard...
we can act out something interesting.
Presenting Lady Oscar François de Jarjayes!
Lady Oscar?! Really?!
The Lady Oscar who is known for detesting balls?
Why did she come to Madame Elizabeth's ball suddenly?
NO! This must be a dream!
It cannot be true!
Who is that mademoiselle?
I've never seen her before.
See? Just by escorting a woman, they all went nuts.
If you dance with her, they'll all have convulsions.
I'll leave the dancing to you.
Good evening, Oscar.
Good evening, Madame Elizabeth.
Who is this charming, angelic mademoiselle?
This is Rosalie Lamorlière...
a distant relative of my elder sister's husband.
Come, Rosalie, greet her.
Lady Oscar took the girl's hands again!
I can't stand it!
NO! Lady Oscar is ours!
She can't have her all to herself.
I'm Rosalie. How do you do.
Please have a good time tonight.
Can I go back home safely tonight?
I didn't expect Lady Oscar to be this popular...
How gorgeous!
She's wearing such a dazzling dress!
Who is she?
Is she also an admirer of Lady Oscar?
Mademoiselle Charlotte is here tonight.
Charlotte?
A daughter of a Count...
She's different from me.
She's a genuine noble.
Mademoiselle Rosalie, may I dance with you?
You seem to be watching Mademoiselle Charlotte.
She came alone since her mother, Mme. Polignac, has cold and stayed home.
Madame Polignac?
Queen Antoinette's favorite lady.
Well, she's the most powerful woman at Versailles except for the Queen now.
Oh, André, you sound as if you dislike Mme. Polignac.
Sort of.
But Charlotte is amazingly charming.
Madame! A lady has collapsed in the anteroom!
Please go on dancing, everyone.
It's probably nothing serious.
Please excuse me.
Are you all right?
I'm Nicolas de la Motte, a Royal Guard Regiment Captain.
My wife...
She has become weak like this after long years of malnutrition.
Just because my salary is so meager.
So...
My Poor Jeanne! Please forgive me!
Just because I'm good for nothing!
Oh... poor thing.
Don't feel so discouraged.
I'll have my carriage take her home.
And... it's not much... but I'll send you some money, too.
Oh... what merciful words!
Thank you very much!!
I, Captain Nicolas de la Motte, will never forget your kindness!!
Captain la Motte, please don't worry.
I'll ask Her Majesty to raise your salary.
Thank you very much again!
Nicolas' acting is pretty impressive.
Noble ladies are all so naive that they can be tricked so easily.
How do you do.
We were all just talking about you.
Are you living in the same house with Lady Oscar?
Yes.
I envy you.
Is Lady Oscar always with you?
Do you dine together?
What does Lady Oscar's hand feel like?
Please be our friend, Mademoiselle Rosalie.
Except for Her Majesty, she never...
The lady who killed my mom isn't here!
Ma's killer...
Wow, it seems Rosalie has become really popular.
Yes.
She said she is an orphan born in the slums of Paris.
Yet she's an interesting girl.
She is timid, but observing her now...
she sometimes shows an amazingly dignified expression.
Yeah.
Nobody will doubt it, if told that she's an aristocrat.
Ladies!
How long are you going to make a fuss?
Mademoiselle Charlotte...
A Minuet is next.
Mademoiselle Rosalie, aren't you going to dance?
Uh..."Minuet"?
Oh, you don't even know what a Minuet is?
Astounding!
Rosalie, don't be elated even if everyone flatters you.
Everyone isjust curious about your embarrassing rusticity and Lady Oscar!
Come, let's go!
How unpleasant!
She's the one who's most excited about Lady Oscar!
Miss Rosalie. Don't mind her.
By the way, what is your mother like?
My Ma?
"Ma"?
You said "MA"?!
How vulgar!
I'll tell my mother!
Lady Oscar has brought a peasant girl to a ball of nobles!!
Are you really a distant relative of Lady Oscar?
Now, Miss Rosalie, answer me!
How dare you!!
I'm a noble!
The name of my mother is...
Her name is...
I'm a noble...
Martine Gabrielle...
Your mother's name is Martine Gabrielle...
Mom!
Who is Martine Gabrielle?!
Tell me, Ma!
Who's child am I?!
Where can I meet her, Mom?!
Tell me!
Rosalie!
André...
We did it!
Nicolas, wasn't it a piece of cake?
You're a sly fox!
The next step, Nicolas...
What?
Is to approach the Queen at the Palace.
I'm sorr...
You!
My sister, Jeanne!!
Hey, what's wrong?
Uh... nothing, Nicolas.
She just resembled someone I once knew. But I was wrong.
Let's go.
Jeanne!
Aren't you mistaken?
I've never seen you before.
What are you doing?!
Listen, Jeanne.
Mom is dead.
She was run over by the carriage of a noble.
Jeanne, how can you look so cold?
Is my sister of the past really dead?
Nicolas, hurry up!
Uh-huh
Rosalie, are you all right?
Hey, that girl...
Haven't I seen her somewhere before?
Shut up!
There should be no one that we know in a place like this!
Jeanne... I missed you.
I missed you so much that my heart was almost torn apart.
No matter how you treated me, you're my only sister.
Ma is dead...
Mom...
But why is Rosalie here?
I don't understand at all.
She looks beautiful, wearing much better clothes than I do...
I don't understand...
Rosalie, you did very well at Mme. Elizabeth's ball
Do you really think so?
But I...
If you didn't claim that you were a noble...
everyone around you would have figured out that you're from the slums.
Yes.
If they did figure it out...
you'd have lost the opportunity to find your mother's killer forever.
Yes.
Lady Oscar, don't stare at me like that.
I feel as if the mirror broke into million pieces and pierced me through!
Are you cold, Rosalie?
No...
Your hand is trembling.
I'll do the rest myself.
OK
Please prepare my uniform. Today is the day to visit the Court.
Oscar, I've quit the gambling that you worried about.
So, please feel at ease.
I feel glad with all my heart, Your Majesty.
Oscar, too bad that you couldn't trap me in.
By the way, Oscar, I heard that you have a very charming lady at your house.
It's quite a famous.
With all due respect, she is my distant relative.
I see.
Please bring her to the Court next time!
Oh...
Your Majesty, not her.
I heard that at the last ball, while I was sick and absent...
that girl was very rude to my daughter.
"Rude"?
She threw a fan.
That was Mademoiselle Charlotte's fault, Mme. Polignac.
What?! My daughter's fault?!
That's right.
Your daughter insulted Rosalie first.
Next time they meet, I hope Mademoiselle Charlotte will apologize.
How dare you...!
To me...!
Oscar is dangerous.
Like in the case of gambling, I thought she wasjust an ordinary Royal Guard.
If I don't take care of her right now, it'll be fatal for me.
I'll be able to do anything I want now.
I can!
I'll do whatever I want!
Concentrate harder!
Thrust!
What's wrong, Rosalie? Can't you concentrate if your partner isn't Oscar?!
You'll never be able to avenge your mother like that.
Avenge my Mom...!
Ai ga kurushimi nara
lf to love is to suffer
Ikurademo kurushi mou
I will take any suffering
Sore ga kimino kokoro ni
Until my love reaches
Itsuka todoku made
To your heart someday
Kimi wa hikari, Boku wa kage
You are the light while I am the shadow
Hanre rarenai futari no kizuna
We share a bond that can never be broken
Kurushimeba kurushimu hodo
The more pain I suffer
Ai wa, ai wafukamaru
the deeper is my love
Not reciprocated is the love I have for you
my eyes, they can no longer see you
Ah, Oscar?
Oscar!
Rosalie finally meets the woman who killed her mother beneath her carriage wheels.
She was proud and arrogant among the waves of people at a ball.
Holding a knife with all her anger and hatred...
Rosalie stepped forward.
