Not only are you the princess of a foreign country,
you are a direct threat to us.
So I will have you disappear here.
How dare you!
Can't use the wind...
What a very...
...brave princess you are.
Sorry to say, but it's your life we're after.
Hold back! We'll strike each other!
Farewell, princess of rain.
I promised I'd make it back...
I promised I'd make it back safely!
No! In front of me, too?!
L... Livius!

In this huge world, I finally found it. The irreplaceable miracle called "you".

sagasou bokura no shinjitsu
探そう ぼくらの真実
Let's look for our truth.
She wasn't there!
She can't escape from here! Find her!
Sir!
And make sure you kill her!
It's only a matter of time if we stay.
One way or another, if we can make it out of the temple,
we can get outside.
What are you doing here?
At least thank me, first.
Hey! If you're here, I fail the test!
You're still on that? In this situation?
Or rather, what are you, an esper or something?
Or a wizard? An evil wizard?
Enough!
Let's check the statue again.
Right!
There's a route only the royal family knows.
I used that.
You've got something like that, too?
Why didn't you tell me that from the start?
It wouldn't have been much of a trial, then, would it? Boring.
You're mean!
You're just now realising that?
I'm surprised that Neil allowed it.
I didn't tell him.
Majesty!
I'm grateful that you saved me...
But I guess... you really didn't trust in me, then.
I'm a man of poor character, I guess.
I know how evil men think.
It's not that I didn't trust you.
I just...
No, nothing.
Right now, we need to focus on how to get out of here.
You...
It seems to me that this trial might be used for assassinations.
The priests only let the princesses they like get out safely.
That's inhuman.
I've found it! A way to get out of here...
Have you found her?
No! She's not in here.
All that's left is the waterway.
Hmm...
Hmm?
Where did this fog come from?
Incredible...
All this in the blink of an eye.
At a time like this, it feels so real...
...that you... really are...
...from a distant world...
That fog looks like it'll last a while.
That was incredible. I didn't know you could do that, too.
Haven't you learned anything?
That's the most basic of basics!
It's way easier than calling rain.
The principle is the same as making clouds.
Do it in the sky, they're clouds.
Do it on the ground, you've got fog.
Hey, are you listening?!
Of course I a-
But I think I really owe my safety to this little guy here.
Please, no!
Stop it!
That's enough! Enough already!
We're going!
Sir Randa...
Are you hurt?
Princess Nike went that w-
You don't have to follow her!
Are you certain?
It's fine.
First, tell Sir Aristes...
...about our foolish king's actions here.
They're not following us anymore!
He's acting
strangely
Hey! We have to- we have to go back there!
Your ring...
Like I care about that!
The truth is, I just...
...couldn't stay there.
Without even thinking, I grabbed my sword... and came here...
He's trembling
I was so scared.
So scared I couldn't stand it!
If you... if you disappear, too...
I don't know what I'd do!
I don't need some ring or throne!
If it means that I won't lose you...
...I'd throw everything away!
I'll happily throw it away!
This is
all
my fault
I'm sorry.
Because I was focused on something so meaningless,
you had to think about so many things.
Such frightening things...
...and then you saved me.
I... I've been completely wrong.
I wanted to protect you. It just slipped my mind.
I was blinded by your usual calm and that lucidity unsuited to your age.
But you've been all alone,
trembling in fear, just like this,
even though you were such a small existence.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know how else to stop your trembling,
but there's no reason for you to throw anything away.
We don't know what the future might bring,
so don't think about throwing things away before it's time.
Instead, let's visualise a brighter place,
and work towards getting there together, okay?
Don't worry.
I won't go anywhere until then.
You don't have to trust anything,
but trust in just that one thing.
Livi...
You never know what the future might bring.
It's true.
I never thought I'd be holding someone's hand like this,
feeling this warmth...
Besides...
If you weren't the Sun King, you'd have zero appeal, you know!
If you strip away the whole kingship thing,
you're just a perverted, sneaky little brat!
Perverted brat
Sneaky brat
Perverted brat
Sneaky brat
Perverted brat
Sneaky brat
Perverted brat
Sneaky brat
Hey! I take back what I said!
I'm going to cling to my throne with an iron grip!
The paragon of a man in power
That's good!
The paragon of a man in power
Hang onto the throne for my sake, too, okay?
Yeah, right.
The real problem is the ceremony today.
There's your ring, but...
Mine, too, I guess.
We'll have to cover for it somehow.
I have an idea for how to do that.
An idea?
Livius I's ultimate gamble.
We're going to win, I promise you.
When we're together, no one can beat us.
The voices of the four gods?
God of Tactics, Lord Graham Wodan.
He's famous for the Zeus Island invasion...
...that resulted in zero casualties.
God of Weapons, Lord Alan Catesby.
Other countries still can't replicate his blasting powder formula.
Lord Vincent Ratcliff is the man with contacts all over the world.
Good or bad, all organisations show respect to Lord Ratcliff.
Three such amazing men, and...
Yes.
With King Livi they are called "The Four Gods".
The decisions made in that room...
...are known as Word of God, and no man can turn against it.
But even they can't do anything about the ceremony?
It was in that room that, long ago, it was decided...
...to turn festivals over to the Ministry of the Priesthood.
The matter cannot be overturned.
You've got to have big boobs!
Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better!
That's why I said it earlier!
Only if all other factors are equal-
No two sets of boobs are exactly alike, though!
You need to consider size, shape and the balance between the two!
But the really enormous ones are pretty great, aren't they?
Not everyone feels that way!
Anyway, youth is most important-
Can we talk about the ceremony already?
Be quiet!
Hurry!
Yes, sir!
It's getting hard to breathe!
I thought you said you lost five kilograms!
I did! Half of it, anyway.
Princess Nike! Suck in your stomach!
I'm doing it!
Hold it in!
That roar you just heard was no demon.
It is the sign that Princess Nike's preparations are complete.
That's what I thought. The only one who could scream like that...
...is me, right?
If they ever force you in something like this, you'd understand.
R-Right...
"I guess you can dress up anything!", right?
No... you're beautiful.
Huh?
As the sky is blue, as the ocean is vast, Nike,
you are beautiful.
Hey, is he sick?
No... King Livi is simply speaking from his heart.
Get out of here.
Don't cry!
How's it looking?
The big match... you think we can win?
Who do you think you're talking to?
Losing is the one thing I hate the most.
Right?
Hey, say that line again, would you?
I'll kill you.
Because the high priest has been long indisposed,
I, Rani Learte, will conduct the Exchanging of the Suns today.
First, let us give praise for the fine weather...
...that greets us on this sacred day.
Your Majesty.
Princess Nike.
There's no reason to call out the High Priest for this.
An Exchanging of Suns without rings is unprecedented.
We know that His Majesty was in the underground temple, as well...
I can't reveal that publicly,
but that must be what has him looking so rattled.
Right now, we have a hand around King Livius's heart.
Before we begin the ritual,
please show us all the fruits of your Rite of Illumination.
What is the meaning of this?
Forgive me.
I was unable to acquire the ring from the temple.
But... does this mean you're giving up on the engagement?
No... I am not giving up!
Rani Learte.
What my princess is saying is that some musty old ring...
...from the underground is unworthy of a man who is now king of the world.
Then... what would be worthy of you?
Have you prepared a golden ring, perhaps?
Something far greater.
Listen well, everyone!
Princess Nike is saying that, for a ring worthy of the Sun King,
she will place a giant ring on the sun itself!
Don't you want to see that?!
What is he plotting?
Rani Learte, do you mean to allow this?
Why not?
Do you mean to say you're not also interested,
in seeing what His Majesty produces?
Then, please watch...
...my Princess...
...and her miraculous talent!
Air above,
and the prisms that abound within you,
please, respond to my voice.
The sadness born today
Take each others' hands and gather the light.
Soars high into the sky
Make a shining ring, and place it...
...on the great sun above.
The sky awakens and stirs the wind
A ring on the sun?
I read about the phenomenon in some old documents.
My chest trembles
Though they treated it like a bad omen.
You mean a halo, right?
I want to protect you
anata wo mamoritai
It's a sign of rain about to fall.
It's also called a "white rainbow".
It's the water crystals that make up clouds, bending the light of the sun.
I want to touch destiny
unmei ni musubitai
You want me to make one?
The tears you have shed... the hole in your chest
koko no kagami de yume no kokomi wo
Can you do it?
I don't know.
Even if I did make one,
I don't think that would convince them.
I want to fill it with happiness
yorokobi de midashitai no
Probably not.
But that's not what I'm after.
It's a tender rain
May this song that I sing
anata no motoe kono uta ga
T-This is...
Amazing!
A ring...
Wonderful...
Reach you wherever you are
todokimasu youni
There really is...
A ring on the sun...
That's not what I'm after.
No matter how far apart we may be
Dounani toukuni hanarete ite mo
I just want to shake them up.
I believe that it'll reach you
shinjiteru tsutawaru koto
Be quiet!
Wake up, all of you!
Singing in the rain
Randa...
This engagement was a sham from the start!
The drops of the rain
ame no shizuku ga
Stop it...
Because before the Rite of Illumination was over,
Those are
Will shine beautifully
utsukoshiko kagayaite yuku
King Livius entered the underground temple...
the words
...and gave aid to Princess Nike!
I've been waiting for.
We saw i-
And when...
kanashimi...
What is the meaning of this?
The law of the Rite is that after Princess Nike enters the temple,
no one else may enter.
I broke that law and entered the temple.
With reason, I presume?
It was my only option, to stop the assassination of Princess Nike.
Assassination?
Aristes, did you know about this?
Majesty, we planned this all by ourselves.
It has nothing to do with the Ministry of the Priesthood.
What are you saying?
What did His Majesty and you-
It doesn't matter now.
If you match the scar on his face to His Majesty's sword...
Are you acknowledging that it's true?
Why... why would you...
Why?
Have you forgotten the restriction the king forced upon us?
Have you, Rani Learte?
He belittled the Sun God, the source of our authority,
struck down our authority and respect...
I just wanted to pay back some of that disgrace!
Are you going to reject that all as foolishness?!
Aristes.
I cannot cover for you.
I cannot forgive those who turn against King Livius.
Aristes.
I will give the verdict.
I have His Majesty's permission to do it.
Are you going to take my head with the power of the wind?
Princess...
My own power's quite enough!
She hit him!
Yes, she hit him.
Is this the end?
It can't be.
Not possible.
A king capable of forgiveness...
He's certainly grown.
Yes, he has.
Rani Aristes.
As your future queen, I'll give you one degree less than death.
In exchange, I want you to approve our engagement!
Even now... you want my approval?
Are you trying to show pity for me?
I don't want any resentment to remain over this engagement.
You said that clouds and rain were ill-omened things.
Is that really true?
The sun may be wonderful, but can you live on that alone?
We all live because of the wind, the clouds, and the rain.
They're not things you can throw out just because...
...they're temporarily inconvenient, right?
It's the same for this country,
and for you... You're a part of this country, right?
Impossible...
Too soft?
Do you accept this?
I don't care what you all do.
If you're going to die out, die out.
And if you want to regain that authority and respect or whatever,
you can do that, too.
It's up to you.
You've grown.
Take him away!
In the end, we weren't able to get a set of rings.
Do you remember?
That bridge of light you showed me at the start...
For a ring that will bind us together,
if we bring that bridge together with this,
just one is more than enough.
Isn't it strange?
What is?
We only have half a ring,
but the feelings contained within it are so much more.
Yeah...
Why don't we make more memories together... from now on?
