I--
I JUST WANTED TO SEE THE OCEAN...
WELL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO MEET ANSGAR STETTER.
BUT SEEING HOW YOU JUMPED INTO THE OCEAN, THERE MUST BE MORE.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO SOAK MY FEET.
...RIGHT. I'M SURE.
SINCE YOU'RE SCARED OF A LOT OF THINGS.
DARKNESS, HEIGHTS, WATER...
DESPITE ALL THE TRIVIAL THINGS YOU FEAR...
...YOU DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU WHILE YOU'RE OUT THERE ALONE WITHOUT AN ATTENDANT.
LEAVING YOUR BAG ON THE SAND LIKE THAT...
...NOT REALIZING THAT SOMEONE COULD STEAL IT.
SINCE I'M SURE YOU NEVER HAD TO WATCH YOUR OWN THINGS.
OH...
I GUESS... YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOU FOR IT.
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, BUT YOU'RE THE SAME.
ALMOST TO THE POINT IT MAKES ME ANGRY.
YOU'RE STILL THE SAME DISGUSTING ARISTOCRATIC WOMAN YOU WERE BACK THEN.
HIS WORDS HURT ME.
HOW LONG HAS HE HARBORED THESE FEELINGS OF HATRED?
WAS IT FROM THE MOMENT WE FIRST MET?
...HEINER.
BUT MORE THAN THAT...
...YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT I WAS FOOLISH.
...WHAT DID HE THINK ABOUT MY LOVE FOR HIM?
Episode 8
WHAT?
THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU PLAYED A MAN IN LOVE...
TO A WOMAN WHO DISGUSTED YOU.
AND THAT WOMAN BLINDLY BELIEVED IT...
SAYING SHE LOVED YOU TOO.
WHAT A JOKE, RIGHT?
BUT IF THAT WAS THE CASE...
...WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THREE YEARS AGO?
AFTER THE KINGDOM FELL...
...AND MY PARENTS DIED...
...AND YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANTED...
YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME.
NOT EVEN KNOWING THAT...
...I LOVED YOU FOR THREE MORE YEARS.
I BELIEVED HE WOULD COME BACK.
I BELIEVED HE WOULD SMILE FOR ME AGAIN.
THAT HE WOULD CHANGE HIS MIND AND LOVE ME AGAIN.
HOW MANY MORE TIMES...
...MUST I PICK UP MY BROKEN PIECES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
DO YOU...
...STILL LOVE ME?
I'M NOT SURE.
WHAT GOOD IS IT NOW?
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
MY FEELINGS ARE USELESS ANYWAY.
THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
EVER.
HE HAD THE ATTENDANT BRING MY LUGGAGE TOO.
WAS HE PLANNING TO STAY THE NIGHT HERE?
ARE YOU STAYING IN THIS ROOM TOO?
IF I GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO RUN AWAY AGAIN?
...YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING.
UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DRAGGED BACK BY THE ATTENDANT.
IF HE’S SO BUSY THAT HE HAS HIS PAPERWORK WITH HIM...
...WHY DID HE COME TO GET ME IN PERSON?
AND WHY IS HE SO ANGRY?
IS IT THAT HE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE ME AT ALL...
...OR DOES HE WANT ME TO LIVE IN DESPAIR BY HIS SIDE FOREVER?
I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS ANYMORE.
WHAT...
WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?
...I CAN'T SLEEP.
?!
HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING THESE PILLS EVERY TIME YOU COULDN'T SLEEP?
THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR YOU.
...TRUST ME, I WOULDN'T IF I COULD.
STOP TAKING IT, THEN.
DO YOU WANT TO GET ADDICTED?
...STAY STILL.
THAT IRRITATED TONE AGAIN.
IT'S THE SAME EVERY TIME.
THE OLD HEINER WASN'T LIKE THIS.
WE ARGUED OCCASIONALLY, BUT IT WAS ALWAYS BRIEF.
AND HEINER ALWAYS APOLOGIZED FIRST...
...I'M SORRY.
HE WOULD HOLD ME TIGHT AND KISS ME.
ALTHOUGH IT MUST HAVE ALL BEEN A PRETENSE...
...TO GET TO MY FATHER.
I KNOW IT’S POINTLESS, BUT I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE PAST.
HERE.
DRINK IT.
IT WILLL HELP YOU SLEEP.
...WHAT IS IT?
CHAMOMILE.
...IT’S WARM.
I'M GOING TO LOOK THROUGH YOUR BAG.
WHAT?!
HE'S EVEN LOOKING THROUGH MY THINGS NOW?
WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY PILLS?
THIS LOOKS LIKE A SLEEPING PILL...
WHAT ARE ALL THESE?
PAINKILLERS AND DIGESTIVE MEDICINE.
WHAT DOES THE DOCTOR SAY?
...THAT I'M TOO SENSITIVE.
I SUPPOSE HE THINKS IT'S NO WONDER...
OH...
THAT'S ANSGAR'S...
...ABOUT ANSGAR.
IS THERE A RESTORATION FORCE IN FRANZE?
IS THAT WHAT HE TOLD YOU?
TO JOIN HIM SINCE THEY SEEK TO RESTORE THE MONARCHY?
NO, IT'S JUST SOMETHING I THOUGHT OF MYSELF.
I'M LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT HIDING ANYTHING,
AND THAT I'M NOT GOING TO FOLLOW ANSGAR.
IS THAT SO? BUT HE STILL HAS FEELINGS FOR YOU AND IS CURRENTLY UNMARRIED.
I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE, BUT THIS MEANS YOU HAVE A PLACE TO GO.
AND I DOUBT YOU'LL GET ANYTHING OUT OF TELLING ME THAT.
DIDN'T YOU WANT TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?
BECAUSE EVEN IF HE IS CRUEL TO ME, THE PEOPLE SAY THE WORLD IS NOW A BETTER PLACE...
...AND WHILE I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY, EVERYONE SAYS THINGS WILL BECOME EVEN BETTER...
WHICH IS WHY...
...I NEVER ASKED FOR YOUR USELESS PITY.
DON'T THINK AT ALL, ANNETTE.
YOU'VE DONE JUST FINE UNTIL NOW.
...I'M NOT GOING WITH ANSGAR, HEINER.
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT'S THE TRUTH.
I'M TIRED.
I'D LIKE TO GO TO BED.
Annette, who went out alone to see the ocean, is found by Heiner. Heiner first thinks she met with Ansgar Stetter, then scolds her for acting recklessly despite her fears. He tells her he has always hated her, that she is an unchanging spoiled aristocrat. Annette tells him that even after the kingdom fell and her family died, she loved him for three more years. They stay in the same room at night; he gives chamomile tea to Annette, who wants to take sleeping pills, questions the medicines in her bag, and they discuss Ansgar and the restoration.
