## Transcripts

[Alleyway]

**Zanto Kageyama** : Kageyama Zanto, from Class 2-B.

**King** : ......Kageyama-kun, then.

**Zanto** : What's your name?

**King** : King Rosenkreuz, from Class 2-A.

**Zanto** : Oh, if it isn't the rumoured prince!

**King** : Well, I-

**Zanto** : Why do you even bother saving a commoner like me?

**King** : Please.....Kageyama-kun.....I don't....

**Zanto** : Pardon?

**King** : Don't call me a Prince.....

**Zanto** : Hm. I see. Alright.

**Zanto** : A Prince......who doesn't want to be called a Prince.......Ironic.

**King** : (His attitude towards me changes the moment I said my name.....I wonder why.....)

**Zanto** : So......Rosenkreuz, was it? I'll ask again.....Why do you even bother rescuing me?

**Zanto** : Where's your butlers? Your maids? I see them at school most of the time.

**King** : They-

**Zanto** : .......They abandoned you, didn't they?

**King** : No, I was-

**Zanto** : Come on, my man. No need to hide it.

(Zanto taps King by the shoulder)

**Zanto** : In this world, you can only......trust yourself. There's no denying it.

**King** : Then.......How do you know about the little girl that died?

**Zanto** : ........You really wanna know?

**Zanto** : ......

(Zanto whispers to King's ear)

**Zanto** : 'Cause I can see them, that's why.

**King** : See what, exactly?

**Zanto** : Spirits. Dead People. Floating, Lifeless Spirits. Humans without a Body.

**King** : So......you met the little girl and talked to her?

**Zanto** : .........

**Zanto** : Well, this is unexpected.

**Zanto** : I expect you, my boy, to say something like.....

**Zanto** : "You're crazy!" or "Get away from me!"

**Zanto** : But.......it looks like you really believed me.

**King** : That's because I do.

**Zanto** : ........

**Zanto** : Ahahaha.....

**Zanto** : Your kindness will one day get you killed.

**King** : Never.

**Zanto** : ......How are you so sure?

**King** : Because I believe in everyone.

**Zanto** : ........Sounds like something an idiotic prince would say.

**Zanto** : Anyways.....

**Zanto** : Thanks for sharing my pain today. I'll be sure to return the favor one day.

**Zanto** : .....You'll make a good friend, alright.

**King** : Where do you live?

**Zanto** : .........

**Zanto** : Good question.

**Zanto** : "Where do I live?"

**King** : You're.....homeless?

**Zanto** : No, no.....not homeless.

**Zanto** : Well, I was........um....what's the exact word for that.......hmmmm

**Zanto** : "Abandoned".........is more like it.

**King** : ......I'm sorry to hear that.

**King** : Um....Is there anyway I can help you?

**Zanto** : Pfft.....You're giving me another favor? Please.....

**Zanto** : I have too much favor to deal with right now.

**King** : Then, would you-

**Zanto** : "-come to my humble home so I could offer you a place to live and a warm bed to sleep in?" Hell no.

**King** : .....I wasn't going to say that.

**Zanto** : Then what?

**King** : Would you.....

**King** : Come back home with me.......so I could treat your injuries, and then I'll send you home safely?

**Zanto** : ........

**Zanto** : Heh.....

**Zanto** : For a bratty prince, you're really one of a kind, aren't you?

**Zanto** : Fine then, I suppose I could. But.....

**Zanto** : I ain't offering you anything for this.

**King** : It's fine by me.

(King tries to stand up, but is unable to)

**Zanto** : And you even can't stand up.....a pitiful sight, really.

**Zanto** : ........Need a hand?

**King** : T-Thanks.....

[Tintagel Castle, Front Gate]

**Zanto** : HEY!!!!!

**Lancelot** : What do you w-ROSENKREUZ-SAMA??!!!

**King** : Hi, Lancelot.....

**Lancelot** : Hurry! Take him to the Medical Room!

(Several butlers takes King to the Medical Room)

**Zanto** : .......

(Zanto prepares to go back, until.....)

**King** : Lancelot.....

**Lancelot** : Yes, my prince?

**King** : Can you.....please....take him to the Medical Room too?

**Lancelot** : But-

**King** : He saved my life.

**Lancelot** : .......Alright, then.

**Lancelot** : Hey. You're coming in too.

**Zanto** : Hah......If you say so.

[Platina Hall, Tintagel Castle]

**Tintagel Messenger** : Report!!!! \*gasp gasp\*

**Eiasviel** : What's wrong, Messenger? You seem out of breath.

**Messenger** : I came from Aurum Hall, sir. Eldest Prince Rosenkreuz has returned, but he is badly injured.

**Queen** : My brother is-WHAT?!

**Eiasviel** : WHAT?! Where is he right now?

**Messenger** : They're taking him to the Medical Room as we speak, Milord!

**Queen** : Father! We must make haste! We have to make sure Big Brother is safe!

**Jack** : ..........

(Mordred whispers to Jack)

**Mordred** : (Serves him right, huh?)

**Agravain** : Mordred!

**Mordred** : Crap!

**Agravain** : D-Did you just call me "Crap"!?

**Mordred** : Oh, shit! I mean- I didn't mean to-

**Agravain** : Enough! Men!

**Tintagel Guard** : Yes, Sir!

**Agravain** : Pull Mordred out, and give him 20 lashes!

**Eiasviel** : Agravain, hold!

**Agravain** : But, Sir.....

**Eiasviel** : My son is more important than a few slip-ups. We shall go and see King right away.

**Agravain** : Yes, Sir.

**Mordred** : (Safe.)

**Eiasviel** : .....And Mordred.

**Mordred** : (Gulp)

**Eiasviel** : I will personally deal with you later.

**Mordred** : Y-Yes, Sir!

(Eiasviel, Jack, and Queen leaves the hall)

**Jack** : .......

(Jack stares at Mordred)

**Mordred** : ......

**Jack** : Be more careful next time.

(Jack leaves)

[Aurum Hall Medical Room, Tintagel Castle]

**Palamedes** : Rosenkreuz-sama, what happened?

**King** : Well, it was a long story......ow...

**Palamedes** : A-Ah, I'm sorry....!!

(Butlers and Maids loyal to King appear not long after)

**Bedivere** : Rosenkreuz-sama! What happened?!

**Bors** : Please tell us! Who did this to you?!

**Galahad** : Rosenkreuz-sama!

**Head Maid** : Silence, all of you!

**Lancelot** : Lamora.......

**Lamora** : Rosenkreuz-sama is on the state of recovery. What is the use of you butlers and maids if you can't even stay calm for even a second?

**King** : Lamora........Don't be too hard on them.....You know how worried they are....

**Lamora** : But, Rosenkreuz-sama.....Your recovery is the most important thing now.

**King** : Thank you, I'll surely recover with all of your support. Please, help Kag-

**Zanto** : Hey.

(Zanto, who is bandaged all over, walks up to King)

**King** : Kageyama-kun.....

**Zanto** : ......

**Zanto** : So, these are all your butlers and maids, huh? Talk about some collection.

**Bors** : What was that, punk?

**King** : Bors.

**Zanto** : If you all could actually do your JOB for once, this wouldn't have happened to your Prince, ain't it?

**Bors** : Insolent scum! What do you know?!

**Zanto** : You're shedding tears when he has a chance to live? But what if he has no chance to live?! Will you still remain loyal to him?!

(Zanto takes a scalpel, and places it on King's neck)

**King** : .....!!

**Bors** : Bastard! And after Rosenkreuz-sama's hospitality, you would still-

**Zanto** : Silence!

**Zanto** : Rosenkreuz-sama this, Rosenkreuz-sama that.......Why are you still blindly following him like you're all playing house?

**Lancelot** : Zanto Kageyama......I would appreciate it if you would lower the scalpel down-

**Zanto** : And what? And then you'll capture me for trying to assassinate the Prince?

**Lancelot** : ....!

**Zanto** : You think I don't know? While I was on the way here......

**Zanto** : I heard whispers of disdain....all over the Castle.

**King** : ......!!

**King** : What do you mean by......disdain?

**Zanto** : I heard you.

(Zanto points at Bors)

**Bors** : M-Me?

**Zanto** : The spirits are telling me.......that he has been speaking behind Prince Rosenkreuz's back for a while now!

**Bors** : I-Impossible! Then, what did I say?

**Zanto** : Heh. I'll gladly repeat it for you.

**Zanto** : "With my current task, I might as well have served Prince Jack, or maybe even Lord Eiasviel himself! I have no time to be guarding some dumb entrance".

**Bors** : .....!!

**Bors** : Y-You!! How did you know about the other Prince and the King's name!?

**Zanto** : Then, I was right. Isn't that right, "Rosenkreuz-sama"?

**King** : ........

**Bors** : Rosenkreuz-sama! Please tell me you're not believing this madman!

**King** : ........Bors.

**King** : I want to believe you.....But.....

**Bors** : But what?

**King** : I have never told Kageyama-kun.....Jack's name or Father's Name.

**Bors** : .......!!

(Everyone looks at Bors)

**Lancelot** : Bors! Does that mean-

**Bors** : .........LIES! LIES! He's saying LIES!

**Zanto** : Now do you see, Rosenkreuz.....

**Zanto** : When I told you to only trust yourself....?

**King** : .......Bors.

(Bors started crying)

**Bors** : Rosenkreuz-sama. Please believe me. I have been loyal by the time you picked me to become one of your butlers. Please. Believe me.

**King** : .......

**Zanto** : Is that how a butler acts? How about you stand up, and confess already?

**Bors** : You shut up! You.....You, You DISGUSTING COMMONER, You!

**Zanto** : I think.....he's losing it.

**King** : Bors, please.

**Bors** : No, no, no, no, no.....I will never....I will never....

(Bors starts breaking down)

**Lamora** : .......Men.

**Tintagel Guard** : Yes!

**Lamora** : Take Bors to the dungeon.

**Bors** : Hah! Cousin! Cousin!

(Bors clings into Lancelot)

**Bors** : I've been loyal, right? I've been good, right? Please, save meeeeee!

(Lancelot then slaps him away)

**Bors** : Aah.....

**Lancelot** : You disappoint me greatly, Bors.....And I had such high hopes for you....Take him away, and give him 30 lashes.

**Bors** : AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(Bors gets dragged away)

**Zanto** : Well, I suppose that does it, for now.....

(Zanto swings the scalpel into King's neck)

**Lancelot** : NOOOOO!!!

(However, Palamedes grabs the scalpel in time)

**Palamedes** : Ggh!!

**Zanto** : Hm?!

(Palamedes grabs into the scalpel, and holds it tight, causing the blade to hurt her arm more)

**Lancelot** : Palamedes!

**Zanto** : Why are you in the way, Maid?

**Palamedes** : .........

(Palamedes bit her lip while trying to endure the pain)

**Palamedes** : B-By the.......Holy Cross's Command.....

**King** : ......!

**Palamedes** : "Eiasviel-sama......established all his knights, and gave them an order......."

**Palamedes** : "I bestow upon thee, three new members of royalty, whom you shall serve......is up to thy's choice."

**Lancelot** : She's.....She's reciting the Oath of the Holy Cross....!

**Palamedes** : "And so.......I, Maid Palamedes, who has chosen to serve under my lord, King Rosenkreuz, has vowed to stand by his side......until death!"

**King** : Palamedes.....

**Zanto** : .......

(Zanto drops the scalpel)

**Zanto** : Impressive. Magnificent. No, Perfect!

**Zanto** : I must say, Rosenkreuz. You sure earned yourself a truly loyal maid.

**Palamedes** : Ngh.....

(Palamedes presses her wound on her hand, and quickly stops her bleeding)

**Palamedes** : Rosenkreuz-sama, are you alright?

**King** : Palamedes......

**Voice** : So, that is what happened.....

(Eiasviel and Agravain enters the room)

**Lancelot** : Eiasviel-sama!

**Eiasviel** : There is no need to bow. I'm here to see my son.

**King** : Father.....

**Zanto** : So, the man has shown himself at last.
