Help!
Bakeries were looted and moneylenders were beaten.
Paris was in turmoil due to the corruption of the aristocratic control and heavy taxes imposed one after another.
It was clearly foreshadowing the new era.
But the youths who were impatient with the flow of time resorted to terrorism.
The French Guards Company B, assigned for a special patrolling in Paris, was pressed with demanding duties.
About a month had passed since Oscar gave up her position as a Royal Regiment Commander,
and became the French Guards Company Commander.
The Rose of Versailles
Kusamurani namo shirezu
The flowers blooming in the wilderness
Saiteiru hana naraba
they are without names
Tada kaze wo ukenagara
A gentle breeze
Soyoide ireba iikeredo
makes them sway
Watashi wa bara no sadame ni umareta
My destiny is of a rose
Hanayakani hageshiku ikiro to umareta
Born to live in glory and passion
Bara wa bara wa, Kedakaku saite
Roses, oh roses, blooming with dignity
Bara wa bara wa, Utsukushiku chiru
Roses, oh roses, withering with regret
Bara wa bara wa, Kedakaku saite
Roses, oh roses, blooming with dignity
Bara wa bara wa, Utsukushiku chiru
Roses, oh roses, withering with regret
Episode 31
A Lilac Blooming in the Barracks
Brother Alain! Here, I washed your shirts and underwear.
Thank you!
Here's another bunch.
Can you do it by the next visitors' day?
Okay.
This is a lot!
I'm a bit busy now, so I don't have time to wash them myself. Sorry.
I know.
Well, here. I got paid.
Thank you.
How is mom's sickness?
Same as always.
I see...
Hey, she's here, Diane is here!
Wow, really?!
That's right! Today is visitors' day!
She's cute as always!
How was it ever possible for that beefy man to have such a cute sister?
I'd definitely like someone like her for my wife.
Maybe I should ask her out for a date on my next day off.
Idiot! If you do, Alain will kill you!
No doubt about it.
She's our new Commander.
My brother owes a lot to you.
I'm Alain's sister, Diane.
I owe him, too. I'm Oscar François.
Your Excellency Bouille.
I apologize for being really rude the other day.
Never mind that.
Your father and I are old friends.
I'm not offended at all.
Thank you very much.
I came here to assign you a special mission today.
As you may already know, Duke Ardelos and his family from Spain are visiting our country now.
Yes. I heard it's a goodwill envoy to the Royal Family.
We were informed that terrorists are after them.
They are trying to attack Duke Ardelos and ruin the authority of our Royal Family.
To make the matter more complicated, the Duke is going to travel around the country.
So, I want you and your company to guard him.
Your Excellency, I don't mean to argue, but I'm not in the Royal Guards anymore.
I understand.
You want to say that this is a job for the Royal Guards.
But the Royal Guards is busy with other things.
Furthermore, nobody from other companies knows how to treat foreign dignitaries properly.
So, that's why I ask you in particular.
We'll depart early tomorrow morning.
Guard them from a distance in order not to disturb the family as much as possible.
Depending on the situation, we might camp outside.
All equip for expedition.
Where's your rifle?
Why aren't you lined up with your rifle?
I... I lost it.
Where? When?
I don't know.
I can't remember when and where I lost it.
What? Do you think you can get away with such an ambiguous answer after you lost your valuable rifle?
If a soldier loses a gun provided from the country without a proper reason,
he'll get a corporal punishment, or imprisonment in a worst case.
Try to recall when and where you lost it!
Right now!
That's OK. A corporal punishment or imprisonment or whatever. It's OK.
Your name?
LaSalle Dressel.
Colonel Dagout.
Ma'am?
Go to the armory and get a gun for LaSalle.
Tell them whatever reason you can come up with.
Yes, Ma'am!
That's Duke Ardelos and his entourage.
We'll split into two groups from here.
One group will guard Duke Ardelos.
The other is an assault squad.
The other is an scouting party, and will try to find the terrorists by all means possible by looking out ahead and back of the envoy.
Colonel Dagout,
Ma'am!
You instruct the guard group.
I'll lead the assault squad.
Please be extra careful.
Yeah.
This is Ardelos from Spain.
And his wife and daughter.
I'd say kill them all.
It's more shocking.
The more shocking it is, the more scared the nobles will get.
That's our aim.
Monsieur Robespierre's idea of creating a National Assembly is one way.
But it takes too long!
I don't like it.
Ardelos and his envoy have departed from Versailles heading north.
OK, comrades, let's go!
Wait a minute, St. Just.
Today is not the day. The French Guards are guarding closely.
Don't worry.
We also have a comrade in the French Guards.
Alain, André, we'll search the chateau, come with me.
Yes, Ma'am.
The rest of you stay here until I give a signal.
Yes, Ma'am!
We'll attack Ardelos in the village of Agincourt.
I've told our comrade in the French Guards to kill the commander before the envoy arrives there!
Hey, where are you going?
We were ordered to stay here. Yeah, I have something to report to the Commander.
André, how is it?
All clear!
I don't see anything here either!
OK, good. Check the cellar then. I'll go up more and check.
Yes!
I told you one is enough for here!
What did you come here for?
Did you forget my order?
Wait in the forest. Go back now!
Don't be so strict, Miss Commander.
I've come to help you out.
Go back.
I can court-martial you for disobeying my order.
If you die, the French Guards won't be able to focus on guarding Duke Ardelos!
You were a part of the terrorists' group?!
Bye, a generous woman commander!
What was that gunshot now?
OSCAR!
Who is your leader?
If you tell me, I'll put some consideration to your punishment.
Don't! You won't be able to kill me with only one arm!
You should take care of your wound instead.
You'll die before you kill me!
He told me to be sure to kill you!
For the sake of the new era, I don't care what happens to me!
DON'T SHOOT!
He seems to have failed.
What do we do now?
What do we do?
The plans are not there for changes.
We can only carry it out, Comrade!
Commander!
A message from Colonel Dagout:
Duke Ardelos has arrived safely at tonight's accommodation in the village of Agincourt!
Leave the village to Colonel Dagout
and we'll guard the gateways of the village.
Foot squad, find a camping site with where we can have a view of the village!
Yes, ma'am!
I'm so sleepy! Hey, André, don't get involved with that woman.
She's quite capable at taking commands of the company.
But, it looks like she's trying to get away from something.
So, she can't take things easy.
It's fatal to fall in love with such a woman.
A man gets embroiled and won't have enough lives to spare.
Here!
Here.
Thank you.
You don't care about your life for that woman?
Don't become recklessjust because you might turn blind!
It's pretty serious, isn't it?
Well, we all live together. So I can tell.
Does that woman know about your eyes?
No
Alain, don't tell anyone... please!
OK.
Everyone, calm down!
Stay where you are!
Put the fire out!
Don't let it spread to the building!
Put the fire out!
Colonel! Where's Duke Ardelos?
In his bedroom, Ma'am.
Is Duke Ardelos in this room?!
Damn!
Hey, André, that's...!
Oscar!
André!
How many are after us?
Three of them!
Three...
OK, you guys take care of them!
I'm going ahead, back to Paris.
OK!
Whoa!
André, go for it!
1,2,1,2...
It was unfortunate that the terrorists escaped.
But thanks to you, Duke Ardelos could go back safely to Spain.
Good work.
Thank you.
By the way, there's something I want you to see.
Show it.
Yes, Your Excellency.
This is...!
The Military Police found it sold at a pawn shop.
From the serial number on the gun, it's been confirmed that this is from the Company B.
Please find out who the owner is, and report to the Military Police right away.
If the owner did sell it, he should be shot for a treason.
Where's your rifle? Why aren't you lined up with a rifle?
I lost it.
This is Military Police!
Is there a man named LaSalle Dressel?
I... it's me...
Come in!
What is it, both of you?
Would you mind answering a question?
Why do you sound so formal?
What if André says he wants to marry my sister?
Hey, Alain!
Shut up! Don't say a word!
Answer, Miss Commander.
I don't know what you're talking about,
but it's all up to André to feel that way and to do so.
Ha! I knew you'd say that.
Hey, André, she doesn't care anything about you.
You don't have to stand up for her.
But Alain! I can't imagine that Oscar would do such a thing!
Come outside, Miss Commander!
What are you talking about?! If you want to say something, say it straight out!
LaSalle was arrested by the Military Police!
What?!
What a fabulous Commander. You sold out your own man!
I said come outside!
You Bitch!
You've disappointed me.
I'd almost come to think better of you.
Believe me!
I didn't sell LaSalle out to the Military Police!
Believe you? Believe in what you say?!
LaSalle will be shot.
No matter how it turns out, I can't forgive you!
I heard that you're good at swordfighting.
Go ahead, draw!
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
