...WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
Episode 7
A FEW HOURS AGO.
COMMANDER, THE MADAM HAS GONE OUT ALONE.
WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CARRIAGE SHE'S IN IS HEADED FOR RONCHESTER STATION.
SHE HAS PURCHASED A TRAIN TICKET TO GLENFORD.
WHEN ANNETTE GOES ANYWHERE, ALL CHECKPOINTS AND TRAIN STATIONS ARE IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED...
...AND I'VE TAKEN STEPS TO HAVE A REPORT RAISED TO ME.
SO I CAN CATCH HER AT ANY TIME.
BUT... THAT UNFAMILIAR LOOK...
...IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'S DRESSED TO RUN AWAY.
I WONDER WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR IS.
IS SHE GOING TO MEET THAT PRICK ANSGAR?
WHY IS SHE HEADED TO GLENFORD ALONE?
I WANTED TO DRAG HER TO THE MANSION BUT CHANGED MY MIND.
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT FOLLOWING AFTER HER.
ECONOMY?
OF COURSE. SHE CAN'T EVEN BUY A PROPER TRAIN TICKET.
WHY DON'T YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR HUSBAND?
WELL, JUST...
MY HUSBAND AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM... THEY ALL HATE ME.
THEY WOULDN'T CARE IF I DIED.
SHE'S NOT WRONG.
I DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
EVEN IF ANNETTE DIES...
I WON’T CARE.
THAT’S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU...
HOW RIDICULOUS.
SHE HAS NO ONE LEFT.
EXCEPT FOR ME.
WE WILL BE TOGETHER UNTIL THE VERY END.
EVEN IF IT ISN'T LOVE...
IS THAT REALLY WHAT I’M DOING?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW THAT WOMAN SMILE?
HEINER--
HEINER!
HEINER.
THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME.
I SHOULD GRAB HER AND RETURN NOW.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER HAPPY.
I WON'T ALLOW HER TO BREATHE OR GIVE HER A SINGLE MOMENT OF FREEDOM.
I MUST WARN HER THAT IF SHE DOES THIS AGAIN, I'LL LOCK HER UP.
OH, REALLY? THANK YOU!
BUT WHY IS IT THAT HER SMILE...
...MAKES ME UNABLE TO TAKE A SINGLE STEP?
...YOU'RE LATE.
I THOUGHT YOU'D COME EARLIER.
PUT ON YOUR SHOES AND GATHER YOUR THINGS. NOW.
OUCH!
OH...
HAA...
TAKE THIS.
?!
AHH!
I CAN WALK!
IT'S NOT THAT BAD, HEINER!
I CAN WALK, PLEASE--
STAY STILL.
WHY...? IS HE MAD THAT I RAN AWAY...?
I THOUGHT HE’D JUST SEND AN ATTENDANT TO GET ME.
I NEVER IMAGINED HE’D COME ALL THE WAY HERE HIMSELF...
SO OPENLY...
IN A CROWDED PLACE...
GIVE ME A ROOM.
I CAN WASH MYSELF.
OH... THE CUT...
...IS MUCH DEEPER THAN I THOUGHT...
PADANIA'S NOBLES ARE NOT TO SHOW THEIR BARE FEET TO OTHERS.
ALTHOUGH WE'RE MARRIED, WE'VE NEVER PROPERLY SEEN EACH OTHER'S BODIES.
...HOW EMBARRASSING...
...WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
WAS IT SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAD TO LIE TO THE ATTENDANT?
COMING TO A PLACE LIKE THIS?
OR...
...DID YOU PERHAPS...
The Commander learns that Annette bought a ticket alone from Ronchester Station to Glenford. He alerts the checkpoints and goes after her, suspecting she is meeting Ansgar. Watching her from afar, he is shaken by her bitter words and her rare smile, then captures her while injured, carries her to a room in his arms, and questions why she came here.
