OH, WE MUST HAVE ARRIVED ALREADY.
OH...
THANK YOU...
WHAT IS THIS FEELING...?
IT'S AS IF I'M LOOKING AT A PAINTING.
IF I WERE TO PRESERVE THIS SCENE IN A PICTURE...
...I WOULD NAME IT COMFORT AND LOVE.
I WOULD LIKE TO STEP INTO IT, IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT...
...YET I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO EVEN TAKE A SINGLE STEP FORWARD.
HEY, PEASANT!
PEASANT GIRL!
WHAT WOULD A GIRL DO AT SCHOOL?
YOU'RE JUST A COMMONER!
GRANDMA...
WHY DID I HAVE TO BE BORN AS BOTH A COMMONER AND A GIRL?
IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE...
...IF I WERE HIGHBORN, OR AT LEAST A BOY.
OLIVIA...
MY DARLING GRANDDAUGHTER...
OLIVIA...
YOU MUST REMEMBER.
LIFE IS UNFAIR.
YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT FACT, BUT NEVER, EVER GIVE INTO IT...
...WHAT A TERRIBLY SAD THING TO SAY.
WHY AM I THINKING OF THOSE BITTER WORDS LOOKING AT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SCENE?
MAYBE THE REASON I FEEL SO SMALL WHENEVER I STAND BEFORE HIM...
...IS BECAUSE I ENVY HIM.
I WONDER WHAT KIND OF LIFE HE'S HAD.
I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO DO HERE. IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
OFF TO PLAY POLO AGAIN, ARE YOU?
DO AS YOU WISH. YOU HAVE NO MORE APPOINTMENTS TODAY ANYHOW.
SHALL WE GO HOME, MY DARLING PRINCESS?
NOAH, YOU CAN GO ON NOW. TAKE CARE.
I WILL, MOTHER.
MS. LIBERTY, WE SHOULD GO TOO.
OH, YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!
YOU'RE LATE, YOUR HIGHNESS!
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES!
IF YOU'D BEEN WAITING FOR ME, YOU WOULD'VE HAD MY MALLET* READY.
GET YOUR PROTECTIVE GEAR ON TODAY.
DID SOMEONE MAKE OUR DEAR PRINCE ANGRY AGAIN?
HAA...
EVERYONE TO THE CENTER!
THE RELENTLESS GAZES THAT FOLLOWED ME SINCE CHILDHOOD...
...ARE WASHED AWAY IN MOMENTS LIKE THIS.
WHOA
NOAH! NO NEED TO BE SO AGGRESSIVE!
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO UNLEASH YOUR PENT-UP ANGER ON THE FIELD?
THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER OPTIONS TOO. TRY SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE!
UGH...!!
HOW MANY POINTS IN A ROW IS THAT?!
TAKE IT EASY, YOUR HIGHNESS!
I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I CAN BREATH...
NOW THAT I'M OUT OF THAT BLASTED PALACE.
YOUR HIGHNESS!
WHAT WAS MS. LIBERTY LIKE?
I HEARD THAT SHE WAS ATTENDING THE MAZE GARDEN PARTY TOO! IS THAT TRUE?
THEY'RE STILL GOING ON ABOUT HER?
THE WOMAN WHO KEPT AVOIDING MY GAZE EVERY TIME OUR EYES MET.
YES, SHE'S COMING.
As Olivia watches a peaceful scene like a painting, she cannot find the courage to step into it. She remembers being excluded in the past for being a peasant and a girl, and her grandmother's words about life's unfairness. She envies Noah, then watches from afar the prince venting his anger on the polo field.
