Nina Wang.
September seventh, lmmigration Era 325.
She was put under the protection of Major Sergay Wang...
...after being found in the base of a resistance cell.
Are you the ones seeking this Harmonium's power?
Your Highness.
I know.
Nina Wang.
In my name, I hereby free your powers.
Materialize!
Oh? Are you the player or the protector?
Either way, show me your powers!
Nothing is known about her birth...
...or what happened before she was placed under protection.
She likely became part of the insurgency...
...through kidnapping or human trafficking.
The player or the protector?
How interesting.
Very interesting!
It is just a coincidence? No.
What's wrong?
Your weak daggers can't defeat me!
I am not...
...weak!

When the White Princess Awakens
Attention everyone! Lunch is served!
Mashiro, you're fitting in nicely.
Don't compare me to yourself.
She's so great.
She's cool, isn't she?
A leader, huh?
Hey, Arika. From now on, what should we...
Arika! Mashiro!
Come. We have something to discuss.
Queen Mashiro?
Yes, in the Aswald village.
It seems she's with her Otome.
Our plan was to get rid of Aswald when they retaliated. However...
This is interesting.
Leak this information to that Artai brat in Fuka Palace.
Yes, Master.
What?!
That's ridiculous.
Attack Cardair?
We do not forgive traitors.
We need to make that point clear to them...
...so we will eliminate Argos XlV and his entire family.
How could you?
What is your answer from last night?
About lending you our powers?
Blood for blood and blade for blade.
That's the law of Aswald.
This isn't right!
Taking revenge for everything that's done to you solves nothing.
My Grandma said so.
That's the same thing she said.
We're not looking for solutions.
Revenge is for our own protection.
The Aswald are a cursed group of people who will never forgive.
That reputation has protected us.
But that's still not right!
Leader!
What's wrong?
Fortunately they haven't noticed us yet.
Eliminate them.
Roger!
Eliminate?
They're Wind City's refugees.
Please save them, Leader!
Our rules do not change.
Those who come near our village must die.
Cardair is already aware of this place.
Who can be sure this is not a trap?
But still, how can you?
Mashiro, tell her.
At this rate, those people will...
It's them.
Those people killed Aoi.
Even their own Queen has given up on them.
No, perhaps they gave up on you first.
Mashiro!
Looks like we won't have to get our hands dirty.
It's a monster.
Don't move.
Mashiro!
Come on, Mashiro!
Is that...?
Drink up.
You'll die if you get left behind.
This serves her right.
I always look at that castle and think...
...from way up there, there's no way the Queen can even see us.
Aoi.
It's all right. I believe in you.
Miss Mashiro, you will definitely become a great queen.
Arika!
Mashiro.
Materialize!
I'm counting on you, Arika!
That girl is pretty good.
The Blue Sky Sapphire.
Come on! Hang in there!
Mimi!!
Leader!
Let her go.
Go on.
Mashiro.
Mashiro?
No way.
Mimi!
Hang in there! You hang in there, Mimi!
These five are the applicants we have so far.
If things play out right, there should be more.
Can these girls be trusted?
You won't have to worry about that.
As soon as they wear the Gem they become our Otomes.
Valkyries aren't able to betray us.
You mean you used the same Gem design as that of a Slave?
Well...
Time is of the essence.
Have the Valkyrie Unit help us right away.
Yes, sir.
Informants tell me they located Mashiro.
But that report comes from Cardair, so it may not be true.
Apparently Arika is there too.
But the situation has changed.
We no longer need Arika.
In fact, at this point, she can only get in our way.
But, we still need Mashiro's song.
Can you catch her?
However, regarding the song...
I know.
But if that person never awakens, what do we do then?
W-Well...
Let me go!
I can't let you.
However...
No.
I, Sergay Wang...
...will complete this mission flawlessly.
Nina.
Don't worry.
I have been a part of Artai's military since birth.
But...
So you concentrate on fulfilling your duties.
Protect His Highness, the Grand Duke, as his Otome, Nina.
Yes.
We've gathered almost all the cards.
When we finally do obtain that last key, how should I use that thing?
The power of technology.
Will it lead us down a path of destruction, or toward a bright future?
But, that is not for you to decide.
Am I right, so-called Predecessor?
As I pray, I remember the words of that girl, Arika Yumemiya.
"lf Otomes are friends, then why must they kill each other? "
"l will never do such a thing and I won't allow that to happen."
That's something I've secretly been asking myself.
And something all Otomes desire.
But conflicts are inevitable as long as there are nations and people.
In order to deter this world from the path of destruction, Our Lady...
I know that.
Yes, I understand that very well.
It is for that ideal we have sent out many of our students.
Yet, after all that, all I can do now is to stay here and pray.
Miss Maria, will you allow me to pray with you?
Praying won't solve anything, you know.
I know that. But still...
I will go now and find Queen Mashiro and Arika.
If I succeed in finding them...
...I will put in a request to His Highness about freeing the Headmistress.
I'll be waiting here.
You're embarrassing me, Big Sister.
Please forget what happened today.
For now, I'll let you do as you wish.
But...
Today was kind of fun.
Maki-maki, maki-maki, maki-maki, maki-maki...
Maki, maki.
Big Sister Shiho!
I've been having very strange dreams lately!
Let's stop doing this!
Shut up!
We can't give up now after coming this far!
Who's there?!
Hey, Shiho, still doing the maki-maki?
Oh my. If it isn't Chie.
I have something to ask of you.
What did you say?!
It seems this information was released by Cardair.
Are you positive Queen Mashiro is with the Aswald?!
Yes, this comes from a reliable source.
How is the conference going?
It will take us more time, but I assure you there will be a resolution.
I understand.
Nao!
We're going to Cardair.
Are we hitchhiking again?
Haruka.
Madame President, please lend us a car or a boat.
Headmistress.
Why don't you leave this with us?
Thank you so much for coming. Welcome, king Nguyen of Annam.
We don't have enough resources to accept outsiders.
We've already broken our rules by allowing you to treat your wounded.
Can't you make an exception?!
These people can't move anymore!
If you throw them back out into the desert now...
Why do you even care about them?
They rejected you and no longer recognize you as their Queen.
They also killed your maid, right?
It's all very confusing to me, but I can't leave them like this.
Can you bear the lives of all these people?
To save them, you must be responsible for all their lives.
Mashiro!
What's wrong?!
Mimi!
Am l...
...gonna die?
No, no, you won't die!
I'm being punished... for what we did to that woman.
No!
I'm the one to blame.
Because of me... I let Aoi... and you...
Before... everyone used to laugh...
So why...
Mimi.
Father.
I can be with you again...
Mimi!
It's my fault again.
Everyone, listen to me!
I...
I am the Queen of Windbloom...
...Mashiro Blan de Windbloom!
I wasn't a good Queen and because of that I caused everyone much pain.
I'm sure some of you still hate me.
I'm truly sorry!
But if you give me another chance, I'd like to remain as your Queen.
As Queen, I will right my previous wrongs.
I'll watch over you and listen to you.
I'll become a Queen who can properly lead my people.
I make this pledge to you right now!
I will use this life of mine to protect you all!
So please, entrust your lives to me!
Leader.
I beg you.
Please let these people stay here for a while.
Mashiro.
Is this a request from the Queen of Windbloom?
Then stand.
Once I take back my country...
...I will give you what you desire, Garderobe's technology.
Are you able to do this?
I can.
I'll do whatever it takes. Believe me!
Just remember one thing.
Anyone who betrays us...
I swear to you, leader of Aswald.
Then I will believe you.
Queen of Windbloom, Mashiro Blan de Windbloom.
Queen.
Queen Mashiro.
Her Highness, the Queen.
Mimi, I'm sorry.
If only I had done this sooner.
The one person most responsible for causing you all to suffer...
...is none other than me.
Arika, this is the last time.
So please, just for now, let me cry in your arms.
I will never cry again.
At least not until I take back my country, and bring smiles back to the people.
But, can I do this? Am I really the right one for this task?
Well, you might be the real princess.
No, I don't have what it takes to be a Queen.
Besides...
I want to become an Otome.
Even though there are still many things I don't understand.
I want to be able to protect the people important to me!
Then please lend me that power of yours.
As my Otome...
...no, as the Otome of the citizens of Windbloom.
No, I mean...
Yes, Master.
Arika.
You had asked me about the virtue of an Otome's powers.
That's something you decide for yourself.
With your Queen.
Let's go!
For our World of the Stars, we will carry out our promised revenge!
I see.
So they've already left.
Just as you predicted, Major.
It was more than obvious.
The information from Emperor Argos was to provoke us into fighting the Aswald.
But there's no need to do that.
You're too careful.
I wouldn't mind fighting them.
Then, let's begin our plan.

Song of Destruction
Rad. What happens to your horn when you're wearing your cape?
Touch it and see.
Wow, it's soft!
And it stretches too.
Stretchy! Stretchy! Stretchy! Peek-a-boo!
Rad's illness has finally reached his brain.
