Oscar!
What did I do wrong!?
Tell me, Oscar!
I don't want to see your face ever again!
Get lost!
Oscar...
How can you?!
Wait!
Oscar!!
OSCAR!
OSCAR!!!
A dream?
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 8
"Oscar in My Heart"
Don't worry. I only had a dream.
I rarely see Oscar anymore, since she is by Lady Antoinette all the time these days.
So I felt that I was neglected as if I was not wanted.
Strange.
I know that Oscar is a noble and a commander of the Royal Guard.
Her rank will keep going up, but I'm nothing but a stable hand.
It might be wrong to assume that a childhood friendship would last forever.
Oscar?
You spent the night here?
Don't blame me if you get sick as a result.
Oscar, you don't need me anymore?
Oh, how beautiful!
Look, Fersen.
See how it really shines with the morning dew.
Oh, really wonderful!
No wonder it attracts Her Highness's attention.
How beautiful...
Ah, Your Highness, what are you doing?!
What if you are injured?!
Your fingers will...
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Really, how beautiful...
Now, let's go to the Garden of Amour next, Count Fersen.
OK
Count Fersen is surely Lady Antoinette's favorite.
I'm worried that Her Highness cannot hide her feelings.
I hope nothing happens.
When it comes to Lady Antoinette...
You're like a nanny, worried about things before they happens, Oscar.
What's wrong?
You're acting strange today.
It's nothing.
It's not even manly to sigh.
Is Lady Antoinette the only thing that Oscar thinks of?
A horse?!
A good horse?!
What are you?
Of course not!
What if something happens?!
Please behave yourself!
Why can't I ride on a horse?
How come I'm the only one who is told that "you can't do that?"
Please think more about yourself.
If something happened to the future Queen, even by a one in a million chance, what would happen to France?
The Crown Prince would never, never allow this either!
It's forming into shape slowly...
Crown Prince!
Countess Noailles, I'll present one to you sometime.
Please! Crown Prince! Please tell her clearly what she can and cannot do!
Otherwise, the Princess will become even more capricious...
and nobody will know what she'll say next!
Well, well, it's all right, Countess Noailles.
Crown Prince!
Oscar will be with her, and André will be there, too.
So, if it's only a little bit...
Ah, the Crown Prince is spoiling Lady Antoinette!
Th, that's...
well...
Oh, what a beautiful horse!
It's a gift from the Crown Prince.
Her Highness gets everything beautiful in the world, right in her hands.
She's really fortunate!
Will the untamed Princess be able to ride a horse?
I'd bet 5000 on it.
Then I'll bet 5000 she falls from the horse.
Oh, she's getting on now!
Wow, it's high!
Wonderful!
Please hold the reigns!
Please hold on tight.
Oh! Crown Prince, Count Mercy, and Oscar...
Everybody looks so small!
Princess! Please don't move around like that!
It's OK.
Oh, it moved!
Princess, please stay still!
Please hold the reigns low, and pull hard when stopping.
Thank you, Oscar.
And, never kick his sides, please!
Thank you, André.
Princess, don't let go of the reigns!
Watch out!
Oh no!
Your Highness!
Someone...!
Your Highness!
André! The reigns go!
You'll be killed!
I mustn't let go.
LAD Y ANTOI NETTE!
Help!
Your Highness, please don't let the reigns go!
If it goes on, Her Highness will head into the canal!
Oscar!
Help me!
Your Highness, please keep your body away from the horse's neck!
No, I can't!
Your Highness, please have courage! Please!
Please!
It's impossible.
Please trust me!
You Highness, please hurry!
Now!
Your Highness... hang on!
Please hang on!
Your Highness...
Is the doctor here yet?
What a disaster!
She's still unconscious like this...!
Your Highness, please regain consciousness!
Who was the stable hand who caused this accident?!
Arrest him immediately!
What?! André was arrested?!
Don't lie to me!
It's true, Commander! He was taken away just now!
André was arrested!
That's... that's absurd!
The responsibility for causing this scandal is serious!
Are you prepared for the consequences?
You've allowed the Crown Princess to be injured.
Even if it was an accident, you won't escape the death penalty.
André!
I won't let you die!
I won't let them execute you!
Take him to the prison immediately!
Please wait!
Oscar!
Your Majesty! Please, please wait!
The Crown Prince...
Countess Noailles...
Count Mercy...
Count Fersen...
and others all saw it.
It was a careless mistake. But André was not at fault!
Oscar!
If André is still to be blamed...
in the name of the Jarjeyes family...
I request a formal trial!
Otherwise...
André's quilt is also his master's - my - responsibility.
Please take Oscar François's life here first!
Oscar...
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, I, Axel von Fersen, would also like to make a request.
Count Fersen!
Your Majesty, it was not André's fault.
If you insist, please take my life, as well!
What a man, Axel von Fersen!
A man with a sense ofjustice!
Your Majesty!
Please, please don't blame anyone!
It's all my fault!
It's all from my selfishness!
Lady Antoinette!
André, Oscar, Fersen, it's all right.
His Majesty is a very merciful man.
Not one of you will die for me!
Nobody is guilty. Withdraw now, hurry!
Very well. If the Crown Princess tells me so...
I won't blame anyone this time.
André, you have a very good master.
Your Majesty!
Count Fersen, I thank you with my heart
I will never forget your help, never!
Oscar!
Bleeding...!
Lord, please save Lady Oscar's life!
Please show and give us mercy, Lord!
This way, please.
Doctor... please...
Please save her!
Oscar will be OK, won't she?
Oscar will recover, right?!
Well, I have to examine her first.
If I had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened...
I'm the one who put Oscar in this situation.
It's all my fault!
Calm down, André.
Oscar, I'm the one who should have been injured!
André, CALM DOWN!
I know how you feel, but now, we have to see to Oscar's injury.
Could you please open her shirt?
André, please go outside with Sir Fersen.
Ah, right.
Why do you have to be so proper at a time like this?
You can't show your skin even among men?
We're not a royal family.
What?
How dare you say that about our Mademoiselle!
Mademoiselle?
Hurry up and go out now!
Oscar is a woman!
Oscar is not a woman, but a man.
What? Butjust now...
Oscar grew up as a man and lived as a man.
And she still will...
No wonder her shoulders are so slender.
Her figure is too fragile...
But, what a woman!
Oscar, you're more manly than a man.
Oscar!
Oscar...
How is Oscar's condition?
Y-yes, well...
There's a lot of bleeding from the wound...
And the bruises are quite serious.
Of course, she fell from the horse carrying Lady Antoinette!
Will she be all right?!
Yes, General.
There will be no danger once she regains consciousness.
But at this point...
Tonight is crucial.
Tonight...
Oscar, I heard people all praising you.
I'm very proud!
Oscar...
You are my excellent son.
Oscar, please wake up!
Oscar, please open your eyes!
I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed of myself for doubting your feelings even for a moment.
Oscar...
You haven't changed a bit.
You're the same Oscar from the days of our youth.
André, this is yours.
This is the sword that the master used when he was young!
A family treasure handed down for generations!
Father gave me two.
So, one is for me and one is for you.
Oscar!
Let's go! Come on!
Great!
Hey, let's go!
Oscar!
Oscar...
Oscar... You're awake!
André?
Oscar, how fortunate!
Lady Oscar! Thank god!
I was dreaming of my youth.
I heard André's voice calling to me, almost crying.
Oscar...
Fersen, thanks for coming so early in the morning.
Well, well, I'm relieved now.
For a while, I was really worried.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
You're a lucky one.
By the way, where's my Mother?
Madame is caring for Lady Antoinette.
Lady Antoinette has gotten well.
She even went out for a walk this morning.
I see. That's good.
I also troubled you in many ways, André.
But it was fortunate.
You may be the only person ever to injure royalty and not be beheaded for it, André.
Oscar, you're such a...
Someday, I'll give my life for you.
Like you offered yours for me yesterday!
Someday... someday, for you...
I'll give my life!
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!
Madame duBarry in her prime.
Her figure was like a sunflower in full bloom...
reflecting the light of the Sun, King Louis XV.
The summer sunlight that burns all will wane someday.
