Jeez. They really overdid it...
Majesty.
I have brought her.
You drive me out, you bring me back.
You just do whatever you want, don't you?
If that's how you feel, why didn't you just go?
You still haven't shown me the beauty of this world personally.
But you still made the rain fall.
Didn't you?
Drops of water from the sky.
That was rain, right?
So? How did you like your first rain?
It wasn't pleasing at all.
My clothing and skin were soaked,
it tasted funny, and water is just water anyway.
However...
I enjoyed that bridge of light that showed up at the end.
You're happy, aren't you?
Did you want to show me the rain that badly?
What kind of thing is that to say?
Is that all you have to say to me?
I don't have time to play along with this.
Bye.
That's not it.
I'm saying, the more you act like that, the less I want to let you go.
You're going to make my life more amusing from now on, Nike.
What?!

With the light burning deep within my heart,

探そう ぼくらの真実
Let's look for our truth.
Chancellor's Declaration
A week has passed since that day.
I'm still here in the Sun Kingdom.
I'm still not used to it, I guess.
This intense morning sunlight and this soft bed...
What is it? You're too noisy.
You! How dare you climb into my bed without asking again!
And... naked!
I told you, my room was burnt up.
Besides, it's natural for married couples to sleep in the same bed, right?
You precocious little brat...
W-What?
This is a serious situation.
There's a sense of danger approaching from the neighbouring country.
You...
Have your breasts shrunk?
Listen, you...
Typically, striking me with a closed fist would...
...bring you the death penalty.
The death penalty!
Nike-sama.
I prepared this meal with ingredients...
...effective at increasing the bust line.
I told you, they haven't shrunk!
I still can't tell what this guy is thinking.
Oh right, Nike.
In the near future, I want to hold a welcoming party for you.
A party?
Its purpose would be to formally introduce you,
the Sun King's wife, to ambassadors from our allied countries.
In addition, I was hoping you could entertain them...
...with that Rain-Summoning of yours.
I refuse.
Really? You refuse?
Huh?!
I said, "I refuse."
Whom do you think you're talking to?
Even if you execute me, I won't back out on this.
The dignity of the sovereign daughter...
...of the Principality of Rain is at stake.
This is a sacred ritual you're talking about.
But before, you...
Yeah, I did make it rain.
That was an emergency.
But Rain-Summoning, usually,
is something the ruler does for the people.
To make it an attraction at a party... absurd.
I see! I see! I understand completely.
You stuck up moral absolutist.
Princess, please, stop! Guards!
The one thing I do know for certain is that...
...this is one arrogant little brat right here.
It's a serious thing what they've done!
But it was awfully reckless, wasn't it?
You didn't give any additional punishment to them.
Are you certain of this, Majesty?
If I do that,
I'll just sow more resentment and end up a target again.
Those are Princess Nike's words, are they not?
She should be acclimated to life here by now, shouldn't she?
Who knows?
I think she's supposed to be getting some strict "first lady"
training, for being the Sun King's wife, but...
Oh, in preparation for the party, eh?
How wonderful!
Morning to night, study, study, study!
How did I end up in this mess?
The Sun King's wife...
I'm still not used to being called that.
Are those flowers of this country?
They smell wonderful.
The Sun King... I wasn't interested in things like that.
Something we can communicate about...
Something deep inside his heart,
something precious that he'll only let me touch...
His Majesty? He's already at work!
No way! He starts this early?
Yes! Actually, this is later than he started yesterday.
I believe in the morning, it's the advisory council,
and in the afternoon there's a social gathering, with authorities in various fields,
and then he's scheduled for audiences with the common folk,
and at night he checks over official documents.
King Livi's so overworked. It's his only flaw!
That's the Sun King for you. A total workaholic.
He's not like a normal kid at all.
It is as you say.
Yet, he's still a child.
I would prefer that he take better care of himself, but...
"The more I have to do,
the less I'll be forced to remember unnecessary things",
is what he always says.
Unnecessary things? Does he mean...
Well, well!
Princess Nike, I pray that you are well.
Duke Ferrara is the Minister of State.
This is the Ocean Kingdom's ambassador.
He came here to attend your party.
Oh, thank you for coming.
Um, I'm Livius I's wife, and...
His Majesty's playmate in the playing house,
isn't that right?
I know all about you.
They say that you came from some unknown,
penniless backwater kingdom. A real hayseed princess.
What's with these guys?
Plus, you have a sinister talent of some sort.
Calling us all the way here just to present and humiliate someone like you.
That's His Majesty for you.
He goes so over the top in his entertainment.
Excuse me!
At least she's useful as entertainment.
M-Majesty!
Better than people who can do nothing but spew the most predictable of flattery.
Take care of how you use your words, Your Lordship.
That's my wife you're speaking to.
Thanks.
Don't get sentimental.
You're in a bad mood.
You're looking pale, too, did you know?
Yeah, I just haven't been sleeping.
I pulled an all-nighter last night.
An all-nighter?!
Keep your voice down.
Hey, take responsibility for all that commotion.
I see. Responsibility, huh?
Oh?
No, I just thought you'd ask for something more outlandish.
If I did, would you do it?
Idiot! Of course not!
There's a lot I want to do, but I don't have the time.
This never happened before, of course.
This is annoying in its own way.
Before?
It's so bright I can't stand it.
The sun's so obnoxious.
How can you say that?
You're the Sun King!
Hey. Make it rain, okay?
I told you, that's...
You want to see it?
I thought you didn't like it.
I don't really know myself.
But when I think about the rain, I feel my malice disappear.
I'm at peace.
Although when that happens,
I remember things I don't want to remember, too.
So it is...
Listen, why not lighten your workload a little bit?
Can't you leave the kingship to others a little more?
Doing things the way you do must be stressful.
It's not natural, either.
Nike.
Who do you think I am?
Don't tell me how I should do things.
It's none of your business.
Yeah. Thought so.
I'm leaving. You return as well.
How dare you! Not just once, but twice...
I can't see it.
Something we can communicate about...
What lies deep in his heart...
My Rain-Summoning teacher was my grandma.
Listen to me, Nike.
It is not merely the land that we enrich.
The place to which you should truly send the rain is the depths,
the very depths of someone's heart.
The place known as sacred ground.
Sacred ground?
The burdens that we carry, the people that cannot return...
we shut those things inside ourselves,
in a sanctuary of the heart, which is fragile and dries out easily.
How do you know if the rain has reached it?
You'll know. You can tell at a glance.
I don't know, Grandma.
We're sorry to interrupt while you're relaxing.
It's okay, don't worry about it.
Oh!
You're the ones who put these flowers here, right?
I just love things like this.
Thank you!
N-No, ma'am!
His Majesty collects those himself, every day.
What?
Well... he said it would be a help to you,
living in this unfamiliar country.
He actually told us not to tell you, but...
What kind of idiot is he?
If you have the time to do something like that,
you should take better care of yourself.
An evening encounter? How very bold.
Neil! No, no, no!
He didn't come to my room tonight, so...
He chose to back off, out of concern for how you acted this afternoon.
Do you know what this is?
Medicine?
It takes a toll on a child's body.
Since his mother died three years ago,
he's taken it every night.
However, he stopped taking it recently.
Do you know why?
Because he's capable of relaxing around you.
Having someone to protect by his side...
...sets His Majesty's mind at peace.
Someone to protect?
I'm the real idiot here.
The memories he thought he'd seal away have begun to stir.
Within his heart, within the sanctuary of his heart,
he's been trying the best he can,
but he never forgot how to sympathize with me, with other people.
He's a strong person.
It's beautiful.
Being protected all the time doesn't agree with me.
I'm going to protect him, too.
My, it's truly magnificent!
The ambassadors are all very pleased, as well.
I can't apologise enough for my rudeness...
...to Her Highness the other day.
Don't let it bother you. I went too far, as well.
Forget that and enjoy this day wholeheartedly.
I would be most pleased.
By the way, Majesty,
We haven't seen the day's leading lady, Princess Nike.
If she fails to attend her own party,
it would lead to a terrible scandal.
I know that.
Majesty!
For heaven's sake, what is she doing?
Don't worry.
Nike-sama is the princess you chose, isn't she?
Have a bit more faith in her.
A song playing, calling the wind
kaze wo yobu kanadete
What is that?
The windows aren't open, yet the wind is blowing?
I wish to protect you
anata wo mamoritai
I wish to be bound to you by destiny
unmei ni musubitai
My, how beautiful!
What splendid entertainment!
By the mirror over here dreams are reflected
koko no kagami de yume no kokomi wo
Did you arrange this, Your Majesty?
No...
I wish for happiness to overflow
yorokobi de midashitai no
Your Lordship,
this is the "sinister talent" of which you spoke.
My!
Beautiful!
Princess Nike!
Is that... her?!
She really is beautiful!
This is our hard work paying off, right?
No, she shines like that because of who she is!
Attention, everyone.
I cannot thank you enough for coming here today to see me.
This is a symbol of the gratefulness...
...I feel for you from the bottom of my heart.
It's a tender rain
Strain your ears and listen
mimi wo sumashite
It melts into the soft air around
yawaraka ga kuuki ni tokete
So quietly the drops come falling
shizukani shizukani maiyorite yuku
I'll always be here with you
itsudate sobani iru yo
What is this?!
Singing in the rain
Rain... It's rain!
It's like falling light!
I will sing
yatoshima uta wo
Putting my feelings with the rain
anarete ni omoi wo nosete
And in the endless eternity
dokomade mo tsuzuku toki no kanata ni
There is a brilliantly shining love
mabushii ai ga aru no
What you really need to send it to is a person's heart.
Here comes the tender rain
The deepest part of it.
How exquisite!
I've never seen such a beautiful princess before in my life!
Would you grant me the honour of a kiss upon your hand?
Oh?
Do you have interest in my "hayseed princess", Your Lordship?
You must be thirsty!
Come this way.
What? O-Oh no!
You don't need to seduce them all, you naughty princess.
It's his fault if he gets seduced.
You said Rain-Summoning wasn't to be used for self-interest or personal amusement.
Did you change your mind?
Amusement? It's not about that.
The others just happened to be here.
I was just...
I know.
I know. Thank you.
You'll know. You can tell it at a glance.
No... I should thank you.
I want to gaze at him.
It's like this, when your eyes get used to the strong light,
a lot of things come into view.
He sure is cute when he's sleeping, though.
Such long eyelashes...
Such smooth hair...
Maybe I'll touch it while he's still being cute...
Snap
What an unaccommodating woman.
This is supposed to be where you get carried away and kiss me.
You were awake?!
If you're going to get me while I'm sleeping, at least do that much.
You're so half-baked.
A kiss?! W-Why should I do that?!
Don't play dumb with me.
It won't make a difference if you do it once or twice.
Shut up! You did that without asking me!
Majesty. It's time to wake up.
Hey, someone's here to see you! Get up already!
I don't wanna!
I won't wake up until you do it.
W-What?!
Nike-sama.
Get it over with already.
Like he says.
anata wo omou
あなたを想う
I think of you.

I will promise that tomorrow connects us.
Next time
I won't let anyone hurt you, so just shut up and let me protect you!
I don't take orders.
I'm going to make you accept that.
You're completely lacking in charm, you know!
