00:00I never imagined I'd see you again.
00:17Indeed.
00:18Emil, I've missed you so much.
00:23How long has it been since we last spoke?
00:26Since you left House Bartels, I was eight.
00:30And just look at you now, all grown up.
00:34I notice that you still indulge in sweets.
00:37It makes me happy to see that you're still the same in some ways.
00:44It has been some time since I've tasted such a thing.
00:48Well, of course.
00:50That's because this is a recipe only Mother and I know of.
00:55Oh no, you've gotten crumbs all over your face.
00:59Sit still while I wipe them off.
01:01Stop it.
01:02Oh come on, allow me to be your big sis.
01:07It won't hurt you to indulge me.
01:11Mercedes, the little brother you once loved, he is no longer here.
01:20It doesn't matter to me how you've changed.
01:23You will always be my baby brother.
01:25You are precious to both me and to Mother.
01:30Mother is well, I assume.
01:33She is very well.
01:35You should send her a letter, she'd be so thrilled.
01:38I suppose.
01:42Mother has always borne a deep regret over what happened.
01:46We should have brought you with us.
01:49We never intended to leave you alone with House Bartels.
01:53Perhaps not, but it was wise of Mother to have only taken you.
01:59As the heir, if she had taken me, Father would have searched relentlessly for us all.
02:06And had he found us, I feel certain he'd have killed you both.
02:13Yes, that's what Mother said too.
02:17He'd have done exactly that.
02:19You know, I've heard about what happened, about killing the family of House Bartels.
02:25And?
02:26Are you afraid of me?
02:29Or do you despise me?
02:32Neither of those.
02:34That isn't why I bring this up.
02:36I understand your reasons, but it's a terrible thing to take a life.
02:41You understood that even then.
02:43I've been waiting a very long time to ask you.
02:47Why did you do it?
02:49Why did you kill your father?
02:52Because I wanted to.
02:55I know you're avoiding my question.
02:58I can hear it in your voice.
03:00I won't ask any further if you don't want to tell me why.
03:05But just let me know if you ever feel ready to talk to me about it.
03:10Understood.
03:11The time may eventually come.
03:15Until then, I'll wait patiently.
03:19Hello, Emil.
03:31The war council is about to begin.
03:33Come on!
03:38What's the matter?
03:39You're so pale.
03:41Have you been injured?
03:45Emil?
03:55Must slay more.
03:59What?
04:02There is no pleasure to be had in these halls.
04:06My thirst is unbearable.
04:09Perhaps bathing in your blood will help satiate me.
04:14Emil?
04:16Wait.
04:17You...
04:18You're not Emil.
04:20You're the Death Knight.
04:22You may look like him, but you are not him.
04:25He would never say such a thing.
04:27What care I for names?
04:30I care only to kill or be killed.
04:33I see.
04:35So you want to kill me?
04:38Then do as you must.
04:39It is within your rights.
04:41My...rights?
04:44Mother and I must be the reason the Death Knight exists within you.
04:48A young boy left all alone in House Bartels without us?
04:53I can't imagine how lonely and terrible that must have been.
04:57To our half-siblings who bore no crests, we were nothing more than intruders.
05:03Their horrible words and violent actions were only bearable
05:08because the three of us supported one another through it.
05:12All alone in a place like that, it's little wonder that you broke down as you have.
05:18We should have rescued you.
05:20We should have offered ourselves to save you.
05:23Nonsense.
05:26However, we cannot turn back the hands of time.
05:30Atonement is all I have for you now.
05:35You don't understand anything.
05:38Emil?
05:41The day you left eighteen years ago, I told Mother to leave me there.
05:49What? But why did you do such a thing?
05:53I...wanted to protect you.
05:58I am glad that we are reunited.
06:02I am happy that you are alive.
06:06I...I am so sorry, my dear sister.
06:14Emil...
06:29You trust too much, allowing someone who has turned their blade on you to come near.
06:37Because there are two sides to you, you fear that I endanger myself?
06:42I am nothing more than a merciless killer.
06:46A demon whose only pleasure is found within death's shadow.
06:51Such a creature should not be allowed near you, dear sister.
06:57Just what are you implying, Emil?
07:02I have come to bid you farewell.
07:05Today, I will leave the monastery for good.
07:09If I stay, it is only a matter of time before I hurt you.
07:16Just like I did those in House Bartels.
07:20You can't leave!
07:23But...if it must be so, then answer me this before you depart.
07:29Why did you kill your father?
07:37On the day I took his life, Father had just discovered that you and Mother were hiding at a church in the kingdom.
07:45He was considering bringing both of you back home.
07:49But by then, Mother was past the age to bear children.
07:55And so, he proclaimed that he would take the only other female of the Lameen bloodline.
08:03That he would take you as his wife.
08:07What happened after that, I remember nothing of it.
08:13How I killed him, or what his final words were.
08:18You...you did it for me.
08:23To protect me.
08:25Regardless of reasons, a demon is a demon.
08:30I have said enough.
08:33Hold on! That isn't fair!
08:36Not...fair?
08:39No! You can't just tell me all of that and then vanish forever!
08:44Please stay. At least until this horrible war meets its end.
08:49I want you around just a while longer.
08:53But...all that I do results in harm to others.
08:58You saw it yourself.
09:01The demon that lives within bears his fangs indiscriminately.
09:06You...know all of this.
09:10And still you wish for me to remain?
09:13Even if I am hurt, or worse yet, killed.
09:18If it is by your hand, then I will find peace.
09:22I am, and will always be, your big sister, Emil.
09:28Mercedes, I...
09:31I love you, Emil. That never changes. Understand?
09:38I understand.
09:42Then I will remain here a while longer.
09:47Until we see this war through, I will remain by your side.
