I guess I drank a little bit too much.
Come on, that's dangerous!
I'll hand them out, so stop with the mischief.
Who is it this time?
Me, Lydia.
Edgar!
It has a rather interesting taste.
Well, that's because...
...I baked them for the fairies.
I don't think you'll like it.
I added a lot of camomile.
You really won't wear the engagement ring?
I'm not your fiancée.
Hush. That horse will hear you if you say that.
Kelpie would surely have returned to Scotland...
Did you call me, Lydia?
If the Earl ever becomes too much trouble, I'll eat him for you any time.
Haven't you given up yet?
I said that I'd wait. I didn't say that I'd give up.
Dear me. Such terrible play on words.
Please refrain from talking to my fiancée in such a familiar manner.
Step away from Lydia, you villain!
Strange, isn't it?
I feel so calm whenever I look at this ring.
It seems to match you well.
It's shining more brilliantly now too. I'm relieved.
Are you a coblynau?
Yes, I'm the caretaker of the moonstone.
Oh, are you doing well?
It's a good thing the consort found you.
This moonstone was given to the Blue Knight Earl's consort by the Earl, himself.
The ring looks quite satisfied.
That must mean that you're the Earl's consort?
Does this moonstone have that kind of lore behind it?
Yes. This moonstone belonged to the first Blue Knight Earl's consort, Lady Gwendolen.
Umm, how should I put this?
I'm just taking care of this ring... And...
I'm not the consort.
It fits perfectly now.
It won't come off!
It's so that you won't lose it.
Hey! Take it off!
Only the Earl can take it off.
There's no need to take it off in front of other men, right?
What did you say?!
Lydia! You finally felt like putting on the ring.
Have you been listening?
Yes. A fairy known as a coblynau put it on, right?
And he said that only I can take it off?
A proper fairy indeed.
To not wear the engagement ring in front of other men would be inviting infidelity.
Our engagement was made as an excuse to get us back to the human world.
It's not valid.
Everything would be solved if you just accepted the engagement.
Don't make things up.
Is the Earl's consort dissatisfied with the Earl?
I told you that I'm not his consort!
It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Honour the Blue Knight Earl.
Let's see. You must be the caretaker of Gwendolen's ring?
I can hear your voice, but I can't see you.
How is this?
Your Honour, I don't mean to be rude...
...but I don't think you're treating her very well.
You should treat her like a fairy princess... just like the Blue Knight Earl did in the past.
I see.
She's... How should I put it... Too plain.
You have to treat her like she's special... Above all others.
I shall do that.
Thanks to that, I'll be able to present her as my fiancée.
Nico, can you dress up too?
Really?
Present?!
Master, most of the preparations are in place.
All that's left is for Miss Lydia to choose her dress.
Ah, that's good.
Come, Lydia.
The lady is well loved, isn't she?
Of course.
But, my fairy is already plenty beautiful as she is right now.
Okay, Milady, here we go!
No more!
What's wrong? Miss Lydia!
Got it, Raven?
Your job tonight is to protect Lydia from advancing men.
Understood, Milord.
It's okay. It looks good on you.
You're much prettier than me, Raven.
I think it'd be a good idea to voice your dissatisfaction once in a while.
He'd better be dissatisfied, Nico...
Don't you think it's a rather heavy sin for him to see Lydia in her undergarments before I do?
Welcome.
Paul is late, isn't he?
Jimmy, how about slowing down a little?
Okay.
Lydia, you're more beautiful than ever tonight.
You're too close, Edgar.
It's your scent. I wonder if it's the same as those cookies.
Is it the camomile?
Your scent is much tastier than any cookie.
Are you planning on getting on the good side of the fairies and then spreading word about her being your fiancée?
Lydia has been rather busy lately because fairies have been coming here for sightseeing, so it seems.
Since they're already here, why not invite them, I thought.
I've specially prepared food over there for you too.
You should have prepared raw meat.
Don't eat it! Have you forgotten?
You ***! Do you wish to be eaten?!
And you call yourself a man?
I've been waiting, Paul.
Sorry for calling so late.
Actually...
You're a pretty smooth operator...
How could you make this pretty lady cry?
It's not like that! Please believe me!
Get yourself together.
It's not like I think you brought her back when you were drunk.
How did you know I was drunk?
Very well then. Nothing bad will happen to you if you leave her to me.
It's okay. Paul is an earnest young man. Be at ease.
But, he says that he doesn't know me.
Why did you tell her that you didn't recognise her?
To fix this, it's best to quietly provide her with another man.
Do you always do such things?
Her tears are turning into amber?
Yes.
I thought of seeking advice from Lydia.
He is the Blue Knight Earl, entrusted with the fairy nation.
Earl Edgar Ashenbert.
He's not.
He's not the Blue Knight Earl.
I don't feel any power from him.
What a greeting.
Why is there a banshee here?
Banshee? So, she's really a fairy?
They are fairies associated with beautiful women.
It's said they are spirits of deceased young folk of their clan.
They watch over the household.
And they cry tears of amber when they foresee a death in the clan.
She was all alone on a street corner and ended up following me...
She has no recollection of why she was there.
The only thing she remembers is that her mistress's name is Gladys.
Gladys?
Did you just say Lady Gladys?
Coblynau, do you know something about this?
She was the Blue Knight Countess in the past.
I believe it was about a hundred years ago.
So you're saying the Earl's family had a Blue Knight Countess a hundred years ago?
The banshee of Earl Ashenbert's family...
Lydia, is your father still absent due to his latest excursion?
Yes.
There's the matter with the banshee too. I think you should stay here in the meantime.
I suppose...
Wait a minute!
It'll be fine.
I plan on restraining myself from sneaking into your room.
But, will you allow me a goodnight kiss?
If you won't allow me a kiss, then a hug will do.
No.
Just for one minute.
That's awfully long.
Thirty seconds then.
If you count to ten...
Good night, my fairy.
Good night.
This is terrible!
They went for nothing but O'Neill's works.
They messed this place up too?
They destroyed all my father's works, even right down to his notes.
O'Neill's works at the club Mr Slade manages were also ransacked and plundered.
And also...
...there was a report of one of Prince's men entering England.
The Prince's?
Looks like things are going to get rough.
There's no avoiding the battle.
But, there's no need to worry.
Lydia, I will protect you.
Paul, since you're O'Neill's son, there's a chance they'd go after you too.
Please take refuge here.
The banshee will be happier, too.
She seems to have opened her heart to you, so it'd be good if you stayed by her side.
I will, Your Honour.
Excuse me.
What should we do with these?
Perhaps we can turn it into a necklace?
Don't do that.
Those are tears of sadness, so it's not a good think to keep them.
When the banshee weeps, she foresees a death in the clan?
Not necessarily...
Try burning the amber.
Once you burn it, the fairy magic will dissipate, and it will become normal amber.
Edgar, I'll solve the mystery of the Banshee's memory.
So please, just concentrate on how you plan on protecting everyone.
Edgar?
Whether I can really continue being the Blue Knight Earl...
...will depend on my abilities. That's how I feel.
It'll be meaningless if I can't solve the mystery of the banshee's memory myself.
You're the one who made me the fairy doctor for the Earl's family.
Wasn't it through your ability that you got me to assist you?
Do you plan to join me together in my destiny?
Will you forever stay by my side...
...as I can't reach out to fairies without your help.
I believe I can continue working for the Earl's family as a partner as I have until now.
Is my help meaningless if I don't marry you?
Whatever it is, I cannot lay such a heavy burden on a mere employee such as yourself.
If we're not joined together in matrimony in my future...
Lydia, I'm the only one who can remove the ring, right?
Since you're reluctant at the present moment, I'll take it off.
Edgar...
But, you will keep it, won't you?
You look rather depressed.
Kelpie.
It's nothing.
Lydia, stop involving yourself with the affairs of others.
You'll be happier if you marry me.
Kelpie...
Please let go of Miss Lydia.
Raven!
Hey, kid.
I don't remember you having authority over me.
Miss Lydia is Lord Edgar's fiancée.
Just for show, right?
Give it up.
You can't suppress your own powers, can you?
If you insist, then are you willing to fight to your death?
Stop it, Kelpie!
If you want to stop this, then stop him.
If that sprite following him senses my power and goes out of control, he'll fight until he dies.
Raven, calm down.
Kelpie, please go.
Are you telling me to leave?
Please.
Hey, kid!
Tell this to the Earl. If he hurts Lydia, I won't show him any mercy.
Miss Lydia, please do not betray Lord Edgar.
Betray? How could you say such...?
While you are his fiancée, holding feelings for Kelpie is betrayal.
What do you mean by holding feelings?
Besides, I never said that I loved Edgar.
And you're already aware that the engagement was merely a makeshift measure, right?
An engagement is an engagement no matter how it happened.
Then what about Edgar?
Tell it to that womaniser instead of telling me.
Lord Edgar is not with any other woman.
Edgar doesn't need me.
I'm sorry. Could you please let me be alone?
What's wrong, Raven?
I think we should be more wary of Kelpie.
Did something happen?
I saw him courting Lydia.
Raven.
Yes?
Did you protect Lydia?
Yes, because she's your fiancée.
It shouldn't be like that.
Whether I'm here or not, I want you to protect Lydia as her friend.
Is he really related to Lady Gladys?
The human world has changed drastically recently.
The number of people who can see fairies has dropped tremendously too, hasn't it?
No one noticed me while I was squatting down on the roadside those past few days.
I was so relieved when you approached me.
Also, you have a strange but nice scent.
Is it the smell of oil and varnish?
Girls seem to dislike it though.
That's not true.
Really? Thank you.
Well, and also...
The Earl is working hard to fulfil his obligation as your Lord.
Miss Lydia, the fairy doctor, is with you too.
You really confide in them, don't you?
I have an idea! May I draw your portrait?
I'm somewhat of a fairy painter after all.
Yes, please!
I'll fetch my sketchbook.
Come, banshee.
I'll take you to your real master.
So it won't burn?
Lydia, I don't think there's any way I can protect you other than to let you go.
