That's Princess Veronica's personal vehicle, the Magiship Sylvanus.
Princess Veronica has come into view!
So that's...
Veronica Lautreamont, First Princess.
sekai no domannaka de kimi to deatte
Meeting you smack in the middle of the world
kokyuu mo dekinai kurai ni natte
Leaves me breathless
chiisaku tokuntokun to hajimaru
The “something" between you and me
kimi to boku no nanika
Starts with small heartbeats
saa mou ikkai sora wo oshiete
Now teach me about the sky one more time
Seikoku no Dragonar
tori dake ga shiru habataku hane no omosa
Only birds know how heavy their flapping wings are
minna wa nani mo shirazu ni akogareteru
Everyone longs for wings without knowing it
kimi wa chotto setsunai kao de waratta
You smiled with a slightly sorrowful look
boku ni wa ne nani mo nai
I... I have nothing
demo kimi no namida ga hete
But if it makes you shed less tears
honki no kao de warau nara
And smile like you mean it
hero datte donnan datte
Then be it a hero or anything else
narikitte yaru kara sa
I'll become whatever you ask of me
zettai zettai zettai zettai hanasanai
I'll never, never, never, never let go
shindemo kimi dake no naito de iru
Even if I die, I'll be your knight
demo honki de naite kimi wa okotta
But you cried for real and got angry
tsumetaku nante sasenai
You said, “Don't be so cold to me"
to boku wa namida wo fuku
I wipe your tears
seiken nante nakutatte ii
I don't need a sacred blade
yuusha ja nakutatte kamawanai
I don't care if I'm not a hero
kimi hitori wo mamorikireru naraba
As long as I can protect you all the way
Ice Blue Princess
You show your loyalty by coming to greet me.
Is Silvia here?
Yes.
It's been a while, sister.
Four years, two months, and thirteen days.
Indeed. I see you're well.
How I've looked forward to this day.
Do you mean to deceive me?
That's the Veronica I know. There's no fooling you.
Cosette!
Out with it. Where is the real Silvia?
H-Here I am!
It's been too long.
Sister...
What is it, little sister?
Weak in the knees, I see.
N-No, I-
You've displayed such great ineptitude.
And you count yourself part of the House of Lautreamont?
You disappoint me.
Time for your punishment, Silvia.
It seems only your breasts and your behind have grown.
Will you be this ashamed on the battlefield?
That's you in a nutshell.
You act pretentious, but really, you're nothing but a little girl.
Never mind your Dragonar ambition.
It's far more appropriate for you to settle down!
Now just a moment!
You've humiliated your own family in public.
Is that any way for knight royalty to act?!
Ash!
He is merely a student, Glen.
Hey, hold it!
Don't talk to my dog like-
Ah, I see. So you're Ash Blake.
That simplifies things.
Glen, seize him.
As you wish.
Wh-What's the big idea?!
Dammit! Put me down! Why, you...
The Tantalos clan was in the midst of a horrible ethnic conflict.
Because Master Milgauss put a stop to it,
we can live the way we do today.
And that's why I'd do anything...
Shamara! This is real bad!
How many times do I have to tell you?
I'm Anya now, head of the Tantalos!
Don't use my old name ever again!
I-I'm sorry, Anya... ma'am.
So what is it?
Well, uh...
The Iron Blood Valkyrie has come to Ansullivan!
Once word got out, everyone headed into town,
bent on avenging their friends!
Rushing into the fray with no battle plan?
I've got to stop them.
My goodness!
That suits you just perfectly!
U-Um...
Why am I dressed like this again?
I have been charged with providing you guidance, Master Ash.
My name is Primrose Shelley,
but please, if you would, just call me Prim!
O-Okay.
But what exactly is going on here?
Princess Veronica's orders.
"Just a little diversion," she said.
D-Diversion?
Now, off we go, Master Ash!
There's much work to be done!
Wai- Prim, not that way!
Huh?
I-Is she okay?
I'm beat.
And despite all that, Prim still handles her servant duties.
"The Heavenly Dragonar"?
So this is where the Silver Knight thing started.
Will you be this ashamed on the battlefield?
No...
P-Prim?!
I-I'm so sorry for kneading-
I mean, for reading this book without asking!
I just... I'm sorry!
The Silver Knight is just the coolest!
Especially when he used ice magic to freeze that mechanized dragon
and bring it to a stand-still!
An iced dragon?
Oh, that's right!
The princess has returned, and she's asking for you.
Huh?
There's no time to be shy!
You must undress right away.
For goodness sake, spare me!
Why do I have to?
This is the undressing room.
It's simply a place where you undress!
Come on, Master Ash!
That's not what I was asking!
Princess Veronica is waiting!
Fine, then I'll just strip you buck naked with my undressing technique!
Here I go!
P-Prim?!
I messed up!
Geez! You stay out of it, Prim!
Excuse me!
Now, Master Ash,
by our princess's orders...
W-Wait!
I'm not mentally or physically prepared yet!
This is non-negotiable.
We should go, Professor Angela.
Right. This is a rare opportunity to take a bath on the Sylvanus.
S-Stop it!
You two were affected by the Necromancia's attack.
What's your take on it?
It seems to me the perpetrator has Imperial ties.
A Necromancia is a fusion of magic and engineering,
a product of scientific study.
Engineering? That's Zepharos's forte.
But without any definite proof...
Um...
Why am I here in the bath with you?
What's wrong?
Does bathing with us displease you in some way?
l-It's not that.
This bath smells great.
Kinda makes me feel all soft an' fluffy...
I thought I'd try anthar-scented bath salts today.
Eco!
Who would think that a couple of novices like you
are the heroes who defeated the Necromancia?
So this is the young dragon Eco, who threw together Arch
from whatever she could find.
And Ash Blake, who can ride any dragon around.
Princess?
Her Highness the Fourth Princess is here to see you.
Begging your pardon... Sister.
P-Princess?!
A-Ash?! And Rebecca?!
Oh, Ash! Fancy seeing you here.
Is that you, Cosette?
Hi, Sis!
Sis?
As it happens, Silvia,
I come bearing a marriage proposal.
Ever since the rightful heir, our brother Julius,
was executed for the crime of dragon-killing,
the future of our royal line has remained uncertain.
You're already sixteen.
Bear a healthy child now, while you're still young.
We can’t let our bloodline end here, now can we?
B-But...
Aren't you the first princess, Veronica?
The only affairs that interest me are military.
Honestly. If only Julius were still here,
instead of losing his life to a foolish trifle.
I-I'm sure our brother had his reasons.
The way you talk...
You always did have a soft spot for Julius.
Good news, then.
Your marriage prospect is a friend of his.
You don't mean...
That's right. One of my knights, Glen McGuire.
You were equally attached to them both, once upon a time.
I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
B-But my dream is to become an Archdragonar with Lancelot.
If I get married a-and have children before that happens...
Considering your poor showing during this last attack,
that's indeed an interesting ambition.
It wasn't like that at all!
If she hadn't sent Lancelot, I could never have ridden the Necromancia!
In other words, Silvia served as little more than a courier.
No!
It only matters if she gets results.
Silvia.
With your dreams and ambitions, you're all talk and no action.
Are you kidding me?
The princess can be honest to a fault sometimes,
but she always does the absolute best she can!
You haven't even seen what she's capable of!
Well, then...
As it happens, there will be a match in my honor tomorrow.
Prove to me the value of your little dream.
I will.
Seikoku no Dragonar
Geez, I wanted to play too!
You mean you want to be out there with those dragons?
Why did I have to be born looking like this, anyway?
Dragons are an extremely intelligent species.
There must be a reason you were given human form.
You'll understand someday.
A-Amazing!
Princess!
Hey!
My room?
Are you all right, Princess?
Wh-What are you doing here?
Ash carried you here.
H-He did?
I was worried about you.
Lancelot's a great dragon,
but even he can't take a head-on collision
with the Academy's toughest, Cu Chulainn.
I had to show her.
To show my sister how I fight as a real life Dragonar.
But now even as Lancelot's master, I'm a failure.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Silence! I knew Lancelot should have been his...
Silvia, it's me.
Rebecca? C-Come in.
Pardon me. I need to speak with Ash.
And... I've brought a guest.
I've come to inquire about your condition, Princess Silvia.
I see. My apologies.
No. I'm here on Princess Veronica's orders.
As you can see, it's nothing serious.
I understand.
I also bring a message from Princess Veronica.
What is it?
The princess will be touring the town at noon tomorrow.
At that time...
I know. Don't make a scene as her escort, right?
No. It will not be necessary for you to accompany her.
What?
She commands you to visit St. Valeria tomorrow,
where you are to offer prayers of repentance.
Repentance?!
The princess is quite angry over your lack of ability.
Your simple tactics mistake recklessness for bravery,
revealing how shallow your dream really is.
And when you go to pray, take no servants with you.
You must do your soul-searching alone.
So says the princess.
If you will excuse me.
Wait, Glen.
Did... did my sister tell you about the marriage proposal?
Yes.
Would you really be willing to take me as your wife?
If Princess Veronica commands it.
I see.
That's all. Dismissed.
Hey, what's with the attitude?
Ash!
Getting married is a lifelong commitment,
and you'll do it at a single command?
My mistress's word is law.
And if she told you to drop dead, would you,
no questions asked?
Of course.
You're a puppet. Have you no will of your own?!
Ash Blake, was it?
Perhaps you are riding high after saving the town.
I applaud your luck and skill. However...
Remember your place.
Geez! What's with that coldhearted creep?!
He wasn't always like that.
But ten years ago,
when my brother was executed for dragon-killing,
he grew despondent and became a different person.
My sister proved to be his salvation.
She's of high enough caliber to manage a knight like Glen.
Princess...
Ash, I've got a message for you.
The Student Council is meeting tomorrow morning about the royal tour.
Don't be late.
B-But what about me?
We can't give you Student Council work when you're like this.
But-
If you don't like it, you'll have to surpass Princess Veronica.
S-Surpass my sister?
Excuse me!
Eco? Wh-What's going on?
Geez, you're late!
It's no use.
My body's so hot. I can't take it.
Is that anthar I smell?!
Hang on. What've you got in there?
In there?
You mean... in here?
No! Not your skirt! Your mouth!
Candy? So that's the culprit. Spit it out!
Did you just...
A rather unhealthy relationship you have there, no?
Though it made for a pretty good show.
Those are my undergarments she's wearing.
And did you give her this candy?
She gets that pleading look in her eyes. l just can't say no.
Now come on in.
Rebecca...
Our vice president and secretary are absent today.
It's a little lonely here with just us three,
but let's get this meeting underway.
We will be accompanying Princess Veronica on her tour through town.
However, intel indicates that this individual may have infiltrated Ansullivan.
Five years ago, this former mountain guerrilla terrorist...
attempted to assassinate Princess Veronica.
She's been undercover ever since.
Avdocha, She Who Condemns.
Oh, Princess Veronica!
How nice of you to come all this way!
Do not slow your hand! Keep working!
Yes, Your Highness!
Any one of them could be a terrorist.
Your nerves are showing, Ash.
But...
My favorite crepe shop...
Hey, Eco, I might wind up needing that Arch again, okay?
Hmph! You can have that patchwork pile of parts.
Just as soon as that place is rebuilt...
Yeah, sure. I'll buy you as many crepes as you want.
You will? Deal!
I hope the princess is okay.
O St. Valeria...
I pray before you with purest heart,
in punishment for my own arrogance.
Forgive me my imprudent behavior.
O St. Valeria...
May the Silver Knight impregnate me!
What kind of prayer is that, Jessica Valentine?!
Oh, Princess Silvia.
What do you mean, "Oh"?
How dare you talk about... g-getting impregnated in such a holy place!
Whatever do you mean?
I'm simply praying for a safe pregnancy!
St. Valeria is the patron of the law!
You're saying the wrong prayers!
Nobles don't concern ourselves with such trivialities.
Surely our dear saint is generous of heart.
What a convenient excuse.
With nobility comes great capacity.
Why, that's true of Princess Veronica, is it not?
What?
Though I suppose a fourth princess wouldn't be nearly as capable as her older sister.
Now listen here, you!
St. Valeria once said, "Hate the sin, but love the sinner."
What imbecility!
Indeed, the foolish heart is the very root of all evil!
Death to all sinners!
I am Avdocha, She Who Condemns!

Next Time
I hear you're a complete pervert, Ash Blake.
There's some real misinformation going around!
And that you really love it when a haughty woman berates you.
So it keeps getting better!
I'll vilify you until you wish you'd never been born.

I'll pass on that!
