"subbed by princeizzat :) Why are you slowing down?" "tired already?" "We've been riding since dawn." "We're worn out." "We'll never stop..." "I want a bathroom and to look in a mirror." "You are tired, count?" "No, general, but if you need it we can stop for a awhile." "Help!" "a bandit has captured to me, help!" ", count of Baldoca" "Stop weeping." "I'll put you down right now." "Fantaguirò, it's you." "Oh, Carolina." "Nobody captured you." "You only got caught in a branch, and Fantaguirò brought it down." "Who's this?" "It's you, dear." "Me?" "I'm the victim of a curse." "Who has transformed me?" "It's your fault!" "You've convinced our father." "Look at me." "I'm pityful." "Well, general, you were right, maybe it's better to stop, we'll set camp here." "No, you're dazzling me." "Leave it!" "It has a unique brightness... if you want you can be reflected in it." "Put it away, otherwise the eyes will be blinded by it." "What's wrong with you?" "you're weird..." "Having regrets over engaging in the duel?" "Good news, Romoaldo!" "Three horsemen are already on the way..." "We'll have one for each." "What's going on?" "are you worried?" "What you want to do?" "What passes through your mind?" "I will dictate a proclamation, a royal proclamation." "Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!" "Hear our master's proclamation." "King Romoaldo demads that all girls of deserving age come to the castle today." "They will have to go entirely covered in veils, not one bit of skin visible, all covered except the eyes." "Don't weep." "You'll make the soldiers discover us." "You want that they discover our identity?" "Don't talk to your sister that way, the armor damages her skin." "Poor dear." "It's nothing, Caterina." "Your skin is still delicate, scabs will comes after the sores and when they go away they'll be replaced by calluses, and then the armor will no longer hurt you. happy now?" "I've had it, I will not remain here one more minute." "I'm going back home!" "Oh, are you?" "How will you do it alone?" "It's better that two soldiers accompany her" "Alone, I?" "... with two men?" "No, can't trust it." "I'll ask the general to go with me" "Ah, good choice" "He sure is a trustworthy guy" "But he represents our father..." "Oh, very representative..." "He's been paying the fortune tellers to predict whatever suits him for a long time." "I cannot believe that." "If you wasted less time sewing and you stopped looking at yourself in the mirror for a while you would have noticed what was going on" "Then inform our father." "Snitching is not loyalty, so you will keep the secret, Promise or else..." "Don't spill the beans when you get to the castle" "Both?" "Yes, Caterina, it's better that you go back." "There's nothing you can do against King Romoaldo." "You could challenge him to a sewing duel and Carolina can confront him swinging a comb" "I've let you come with me because you wouldn't have let me come on my own, but now that you're here you're nothing but a burden" "I only hear complains and weeping." "You're totaly useless." "You're mean, disobedient and cruel." "Worse." "You're arrogant." "But you're right, it's better for us to leave." "Just be careful: you're arrogance will stop you from being loved by anyone." "So what?" "I don't want to be loved." "Now go." "Goodbye, Fantaguirò." "We'll leave now, it horrors me to think what our father will say." "They've given up at last." "Caterina and Carolina will go back to the castle." "Right." "Only little Fantaguirò remains." "We'll soon get rid of her and this stupid duel as well." "Ducky, are you hiding or have you also abandon me?" "Why does every one leave me and I always end up alone?" "Why does destiny want me to be always alone?" "Wait!" "Carolina!" "Caterina!" "forgive me!" "I've said horrible things to you, but I didn't mean them, or maybe I did, but not anymore." "I want to go home." "I'm coming with you." "Forgive me, Caterina, you're right, my arrogance works against me." "I was also harsh and didn't mean what I said." "It's not true that nobody loves you, I love you, Fantaguirò." "I love you too!" "Take me with you then, don't leave me alone." "But you're not alone, Fantaguirò, you have with you your courage, your stubborness, your will power, your anger..." "The time has finally come for you to show yourself what you are worth." "I'm afraid I'm not worthy." "The only way to find out is by trying." "We've never felt the need to try anything, but you have." "And it's only fair that you fulfill your wishes." "I trust you'll succed, Fantaguirò, our hearts are with you." "By staying we'll only be a nuisance, You'll fight for the three of us!" "Good luck, little sister." "Thank you, Carolina." "Thank you, Caterina." "Good bye." "Let us through, noble knight." "Let us pass." "Why me?" "you give way, or do you want to take the advantage of three against one?" "If that is what you believe, I'll fight you alone." "No, don't do it." "And now, let me through." "We are men of honor, and you take advantage of the fact that the three of us cannot accept your challenge at the same time." "I have not challenge you." "I have been asaulted." "Be still, Cataldo." "Men of royal blood like us should not mix with common knights." "I am not a common knight, and I'll show it to you." "Fight if you can!" "Leave it!" "I'll get rid of him in a moment." "Cataldo!" ", don't do it, wait!" "He's tripped." "I'll help you up, give me your hand." "I'll give you no hand." "I can get up on my owm." "Who are you?" "I am the count of Baldoca and I'm here to accept King Romoaldo's challenge." "If you happen to fing him tell him the count of Baldoca is here for him." "And I wish to meet him soon." "Wait!" "Knight!" "You just met him...count..." "I am King Romoaldo." "He wanted to humilliate me." "Arrogant, cowardly show-off." "He has not the courage to finish me." "Is that what you really think?" "Of course." "You bad-mouth him even though he saved your life when you tripped." "It was a generous and chivalrous gesture." "Shut up or you'll end up roasted!" "You can shut me up if you want, but you can't your conscience, dear." "You perfectly know inside you that Romoaldo is a valiant knight." "And why do others fight in his place?" "Of course, because he's loyal and generous." "He's a barbarian." "That may be, but a handsome barbarian." "Go away!" "Do you mind?" "and what does a duck know about men..." "handsome... some handsome." "He's not handsome at all." "No." "You are a lucky man." "The most beautiful woman in the kingdom is here for you." "She's all yours." "How can you reject her?" "She's splendid, look at that wavy neck." "And those eyes." "No, Romoaldo, you can reject wine, dishes, but a woman like that..." "She'll do anything you want, just ask her." "She's yours, Romoaldo." "You can ask her anything." "Of course it's true." "I can ask you anything?" "Yes my lord." "You won't hide anything?" "Nothing." "Come, tell me, what makes a woman most afraid?" "How stupid...how stupid, how did I not think of it before..." "You could make yourself announced, general." "Sorry, princess, but I have to treat you as one of my equals." "No one can suspect that you're not a knight." "A message arrived from the young King, our friend." "Ah, good, When's the duel?" "No talk of duels." "It's an invitation for a hunting contest." "Is he mad?" "it's ridiculous." "Tell him I decline and add on my behalf he needs to hurry up and set the duel date." "My sisters are gone and I'm alone." "I start to feel impacient." "Sensible decision, my lord." "You are cautious, praise to you." "That hunting challenge is a futile pretext to humilliate us." "What reasons could he have to want to humilliate me?" "this hunting challenge is to take place on Saint Elmo's cavern." "No one is brave enough to defeat the sacred beast on its own territory, much less a woman." "I'm not afraid of beasts, neither sacred ones." "Listen to me... follow your instinct... refuse it." "Not so good at hunting." "No, I'll accept the invitation." "And we'll see who comes out humilliated." "I can't understand you this time, Romoaldo." "Why here?" "on Saint Elmo's cavern?" "You will soon understand, Cataldo. have pacience." "But hunting is no good here, let's go into the forest." "I've not come to hunt animals." "What for then?" "mind telling me?" "Look." "Welcome, my lords." "But he's still a kid." "I've been defeated by a child." "No, Ivaldo, he's not a kid nor a child." "A welcome to you." "And welcome to our territory, count of Baldoca." "Just in time for the hunting challenge." "Oh...and what will you hunt in the sacred forest?" "where it's forbidden to hunt animals?" "Will you dress your companions as deer?" "What matters is the hunt, and if the prey reveals itself to be bear or woman, tell me, does it matter?" "It would greatly matter." "We hunt bears to eat, we don't hunt women." "They aren't animals." "No, you've misinterpreted me." "I spoke of love hunting, but maybe that is still not for your ears." "I've not come here to chat, Romoaldo, just tell me what I'm to hunt." "And let's be on our way." "What do you prefer?" "lizzards or butterflies?" "All the same." "You choose the prey." "There's nothing I'm afraid of." "neither the sacred beast?" "I'm not afraid of animals. be them real or legendary." "Where's the sacred beast?" "Guide me to it." "How could you do it?" "I'm sorry father, we could've never made it." "If we had fought, right now you'd be the laughing stock of the whole world." "Ah, I'm not angry that you rejected the duel, but because you left your sister alone, you should not have done that." "But Fantaguirò is capable of taking care of herself alone." "She's the only one of your daughters that can do it." "She's the youngest... she's a child..." "I want to know what has happened." "Fortune tellers!" "I'll consult the fortune tellers." "What a waste of time." "They're just traitors..." "We've promised Fantaguirò..." "What did you promise her?" "To keep the secret..." "What have you promised your sister?" "It's too late now to fix it." "Fantaguirò has discovered the general has paid our fortune tellers to say whatever he wanted." "I knew they were charlatans, but traitors I did not..." "Fortune tellers!" "Where are you?" "Where are you, traitors?" "Good day, my lord." "What can we do for you?" "Traitors, traitors!" "You've sold me to the general." "Now you'll pay with your heards for your lies." "Forgive us milord, we meant no harm." "The general, deep dowm, only wanted the war to continue." "What's peace for a soldier?" "And what are three charlatan fortune tellers for me?" "Who'll tell me what's going on with my daughter?" "How can I trust you now?" "It's true, milord, we may be charlatans, but they aren't... and if you won't believe our words, you'll believe your own eyes..." "Here, snake juice, garlic soul... onion... onion... mandrake seed... magic formulae..." "If Fantaguirò's image you seek, open wide your eyes and see..." "Does it boil?" "it boils?" "for how long?" "What do I know?" "what questions you make?" "Here it is!" "here it is at last!" "I don't understand... what's this?" "It looks like..." "like..." "like..." "looks like like... to me it looks like... a cavern." "Where is that sacred beast?" "In the cavern." "What are we waiting for?" "let's go!" "We can't enter." "It's part of our territory, but only foreigners can enter." "I'll go alone then." "But not on horse, you must go walking." "Step down!" "We will care for your horse while you visit the sacred beast..." "Do you want me to kill it?" "No man can kill it." "Bring us the golden rose it keeps." "Consider it yours." "What do you mean?" "it was a joke, wait, forgive me, knight, I don't want you to go in." "I thought you would've backed out." "And your rejection would've been the worst humilliation for you, but now that I see you like this, so decided, I admit you've won the test." "It's not my custom to win tests with shallow words." "I said I'll go... and I'll go!" "You are an insolent and stubborn fool." "Wait!" "Stop, knight, or it'll be your end." "Don't go in!" "I'll do whatever you want!" "I'll set an hour and place for the duel." "I beg you, wait!" "We'll battle fairly, but you don't have any hope like this, get out of there, I beg you!" "Too late for begging." "let's hope everything turns out fine." "It's done, as you wanted, the sacred beast has never forgiven a human's life." "Think it over." "But what has gone through your head?" "I want a test, a test." "The shown courage wasn't enough, or maybe you're afraid?" "I'm not afraid." "At least not of him." "Of his eyes... he has those eyes..." "Do you know what the dancer's answer was when I asked her what a woman fears the most?" "Yes." "The sacred beast. what has that got to do with anything?" "Here, tonino baby. we've also taken care of the third knight." "Are you sure, general?" "Do you know where they went to hunt?" "Saint Elmo's cavern." "And what's in that cavern?" "Oh... my God... the sacred beast's cavern." "And what does the beast eat, do you know?" "Women." "Only women." "Let's go back where we can." "No!" "the white knight has been my teacher, He not only taught me how to fight but talk with all kinds of animals as well." "Yes, but the sacred beast is not like other animals..." "And I'm not like other men." "He's a woman?" "Oh well..." "I've been defeated by a woman." "Those eyes." "Those are the eyes of a girl." "Are you sure?" "No, that's why I want a test." "He's a boy... you've been fooled by his young and smooth skin." "No. it's my heart who's cheated me." "Why does this doubt torment you?" "Don't you understand?" "if the count of Baldoca is a woman, I cannot fight her." "Wining over her would also be a humilliation." "If the knight had refused going into the cavern..." "no woman would have entered ever." "But now you've sent him to a sure death." "The beast will kill him and there'll be no duel." "You're right." "No, don't, don't go!" "I have to." "You'll see, I'll convince him." "That means you've no intention of killing him." "No, I don't kill animals." "To eat or any other reason..." "You're still alive." "See?" "If you're afraid, go back." "I'm not afraid of anything." "All right, all right, I'll stay this time." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "put another stone in the caldron." "But it's the last one..." "Put it, I have to see what happens with my daughter!" "Give it, give it!" "But, where am I?" "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." "Shut up." "No, no, don't touch it!" "Count of Baldoca, where are you?" "you've proven your courage." "Don't touch it, don't touch it..." "don't touch the golden rose!" "Don't touch it, no, no!" "No, no it can't be touched, no!" "forbiden, forbiden!" "Isn't it wondeful?" "But, what's going on?" "Who are you that dares to touch me?" "Come on, continue to show me." "But we don't have more stones, milord." "It's imposible, imposible." "No!" "I'm the count of Baldoca." "I meant no harm, I just wanted to touch the rose." "Really?" "I've come here to talk with you." "Really?" "Is that the only word you know? "Really..."" "Lucky for you you're a man, if not..." "I would have eaten you entirely in one bite, nevertheless I'm happy just killing you." "You only eat women?" "Yes." "Why?" "do you hate them so much to eat them?" "I don't hate women." "On the contrary, I like them a lot." "That's why I eat them." "They're yummier than men." "I'm going!" "No, don't!" "It's the beast's cavern." "It's forbiden to our people." "Don't wrong like Romoaldo." "But we have to save him." "If it's possible, he'll do it on his own." "But haven't you heard those big rumblings?" "Forgive me, but Romoaldo wouldn't have let you." "There it is!" "I don't like talking to someone I don't see." "You're looking at me." "Where are you?" "All around you." "You understand anything?" "I told you..." "I told you we shouldn't have gone in." "Let's see if you understand this." "Do you begin to realize where you are, knight?" "In your cavern, your kingdom, in your in my mouth..." "So...what's so funny?" "Speak." "What has happened, father?" "My daughters..." "Fantaguirò, I'm afraid, is dead." "No, not true, milord." "There's still hope, and it lies within the sacred beast's leyend itself." "But no one has come out of the cavern alive." "The beast kills men and eats women." "It's terrible." "And why, I ask myself, he eats women and leaves no trace of them whatsoever?" "Because one day, and it was a prediction, a woman will destroy him." "And that woman could be..." "Fantaguirò." "She?" "No...yes." "320 No?" "yes!" "I have an idea!" "Take one of my feathers." "So?" "have you decided how I'm to die?" "Why have you not died of fear yet?" "Just the same I know you won't kill me..." "You still haven't told me what to do with the feather." "Why would I decide something like that?" "Because I'm a woman!" "A woman!" "Yes, those are teeth, and we're on the tongue." "The golden rose..." "What do you think is?" "Then you're right, sweet girl." "I won't kill you!" "Of course, it's the bell." "That's the bell." "A woman, worse for you." "I'll eat you then." "I don't think you'll eat me." "Wanna know why?" "Because you can't eat and laugh at the same time!" "But, what are you doing?" "Don't make me..." "We have to go in." "If we find the body that means he was a guy." "If we don't, he ate her." "I'm guilty just the same." "I didn't have to put him through such a cruel test." "I'm coming with you!" "But... he didn't eat you..." "I thought he would have." "Doesn't he only eat women?" "I don't need help." "First you expose me to danger then you want to help me." "Are you afraid to fight me?" "I didn't want you to go in..." "I just wanted to provoke you." "I wanted you to fear the sacred beast." "Why would I fear the beast?" "He was fun." "We laughed a lot." "I wait news from you." "Milords..." "No." "I cannot fight with a woman." "I can't, can't can't." "I can't fight a woman." "Foolishness." "The beast didn't eat him." "But didn't kill him either." "Then he's neither man nor woman." "Why don't you admit you're afraid to fight?" "Say that again and I promise you I won't fear of cutting your throat." "What do you want to know?" "if he's male or female?" "fight him and find out." "I have to know before." "I'll refuse the duel." "Because I love her." "I love her." "I love her and I can't stop thinking about her eyes." "About her." "And this doesn't prove she's male." "You need a way to be sure." "I've got it." "You trust me, right?" "I've a plan." "And don't make that face, everything will be fine." "Why do you think he sent me to a sure death?" "He's your enemy." "He hates me that much?" "Why?" "Do you care for him?" "Silly ducky." "He fears me and I don't fear him." "I ask for nothing more than sticking my sword through his chest." "Then we won't accept any kind of duel." "Exactly." "May I come in?" "The duel will have to take place right now." "Another message from King Romoaldo." "This time though, you'll have to truly refuse." "Water, hurry!" "bring water!" "What news?" "The count of Baldoca..." "Is dead?" "Is alive." "He survived the beast." "It was a landslide." "The cavern is destroyed forever." "The Gods be praised." "This means the duel will take place today." "No, no milord." "King Romoaldo has challenged the count of Baldoca to a swimming match." "What?" "a swimming match?" "..." "Oh, I imagine he refused it." "No, your majesty." "He accepted." "We have to stop it, father." "If she undresses..." "If she undresses they could discover..." "Oh, no...make haste, come on..." "Wait." "It's useless, your majesty..." "You'll never get there on time." "I've ridden all night." "I've changed two horses." "Before you get there it will all be over." "No..." "You waste your time." "You'll have to undress anyway." "I can say I got hurt in the cavern and leave my bandages on." "Yeah, sure, right; they won't believe you." "If Romoaldo has come up with this match is because he suspects you're a woman and wants to see you naked." "He'll shame you in front of all the people." "Yes, but a refusal from me would have been worse." "What are you going to do then?" "Why can't you do your magic?" "No, I cannot." "I can only do magic on myself, not on others." "Then I've no hope." "Whe he figures out I'm a woman he'll refuse to battle and the war'll last forever." "Unless I..." "I want the fastest knight." "Where can I find him?" "Right here, sir." "What do you like the most?" "Wine, sir, what else?" "If you do as I say you'll have all the vineyards of the castle as reward." "Look at the banner." "Yes." "When that rock is covered by its shadow, ride your horse to the river, where you'll find me ready to fight in the match with King Romoaldo." "You'll have to look destroyed, desperate, your heart broken." "You'll say our King is very ill, and that I have to go back inmediately." "Am I clear?" "Sure." "Swear you won't make a mistake and nothing will stop you." "Could I wish for something more than serving milord and his vineyards?" "Nothing will stop me." "I swear." "Upon my honor." "I want you to swear for something else." "If you fail you'll never drink even one drop of wine again." "So be it..." "Our people are happy because you don't have to fight." "All wars should be resolved with uncruel duels:" "King against King." "What will you do if you find out the count is a woman?" "I will marry her." "And if it's a man?" "I'll challenge him to a duel." "To the death." "No weapon limits." "I'll kill him with no mercy." "Then I'll kill myself." "You couldn't survive the shame of loving him?" "I couldn't survive the pain of losing her." "I salute you, King Romoaldo." "Welcome, count of Baldoca." "You've accepted the match with no problems." "There was no reason to refuse." "My wise friend Cataldo will be my right hand." "The general will be mine." "The flags indicate the endline." "If it's too much for you we'll put them closer..." "If it was up to me put them over there, farther if it pleases you." "Very well, the only thing left is strip." "Count, I said strip." "What are you doing?" "Before a moment this important, we must give thanks to the Gods." "Sir, sir." "I have here a special oriental spiced wine." "You fame as tasting expert has no limits." "Please try it, I beg you." "I'll be happy too..." "Drink." "On my return." "Now or never, my knight." "My lord before anything." "I salute you." "How long are these prayers going to last?" "Do not hurry me, sir." "I'm almost done." "Why won't you look at me?" "Don't tell me looking at naked men embarrasses you." "Embarrased?" "It's just that I... thought you'd be stronger." "You are slender!" "Oh, really?" "I cannot wait to admire your muscles." "Need any help?" "Here." "How many shirts do you wear?" "It's just that it's colder here compared to where I come from." "I'm not used to it." "I didn't believe you so delicate, come, take another layer off." "Help, help, help!" "What has happened to you, good woman?" "I've been asaulted by bandits." "Help me, I'm dying of pain..." "You are a good man, your fame knows no limits." "When I get to the river I'll send for help." "No, now or never, my knight." "I've a mission to accomplish." "My lord is before my generosity." "I salute you." "I'm ready." "Let's dive in." "You still have clothes left." "Where I come from, we swimm with our armours on." "The clothes will be a nuisance for you." "I cannot accept such advantage." "Either you strip entirely or there's no match." "If you decide not to strip because of the cold..." "I'll start to think you hide something." "Help, help, help me I beg of you!" "I don't know how to swimm, save me sir." "Don't move." "I'll finish my mission and come back." "No, now or never, my knight!" "You fame as lover knows no boundaries." "Show me you deserve it." "What do you wait for?" "Dive in!" "The water is hot." "Take off your shirt, otherwise you'll make me think you..." "What?" "You don't know how to swimm." "I'm not a good swimmer." "What's wrong?" "you wait for someone?" "No, nobody." "If you fear anything it's better to confess honestly." "I only fear what I don't understand." "I've come to battle in duel, but instead you invite me to hunt and then you challenge me to a ridiculous swimming match." "Are you trying to entertain the people or win this war?" "Are you afraid to fight me...?" "I'm not afraid on anything." "Show me, en garde!" "Take that!" "At last in the water!" "Have you drowned?" "It was true then." "You don't know how to swimm." "Oh, dear God...!" "I'm sorry." "What's wrong?" "Cannot take the sight of blood?" "I'm sorry I didn't kill you!" "Well, try again, you can do it." "With more conviction!" "Not so close... you could get blood stains." "Your blood does not impress me." "Finally!" "At least the legs are naked now." "They are slim... with no thighs." "What did you say, Romoaldo?" "You've beaten me... finish me off." "Kill him!" "What do you wait for?" "Kill him!" "You can't let him live without honor." "You've won." "Finish me now!" "I cannot kill him..." "Coward, traitor!" "You behavior shames our people." "It's my duty to let your majesty the King know about this." "Take my word, count of Baldoca." "Sister... stop... are you mad?" "My dear champion." "We've been told you were on the verge of wining the duel, but instead refused to win." "Why?" "I don't know, your majesty." "I hadn't the courage, and any kind of punishment you wish to throw upon me will never be enough to erase the shame I bear." "Forgive me, father." "Forgive me, father." "Forgive me, I ask your forgiveness." "In consideration of your courage we abstain from the death penalty." "But you will respond with a lifetime confinement in the tower." "Take her away!" "But father  to eliminate the count is the only way to get Fantaghiró back." "General, stop." "I have something to tell you." "Stop!" "Who's there?" "let yourself be known." "I wish to speak with your King." "I am King Romoaldo." "Go in." "Wait, wait, I'm the King's daughter." "I order you to step aside so that I can talk for a moment with the prisioner." "Do not try to save me, Caterina." "It's what I deserve." "When you're alone take this potion." "It'll put you in a deep sleep..." "so deep no one will wake you for a month." "The people will say the count of Baldoca is dead, and Fantaghiró has come back from a long trip." "But it was Fantaghiró who wronged, not the count of Baldoca." "He behaved honorably." "You've deceived us in a million ways." "By corrupting the royal fortune tellers, you've let our people suffer a long and hurtful war." "All because of wild ambition and power thirst." "We condemn you for that." "It is not me who has deceived the people, but you, sir." "It was not my idea to send your daughter..." "King Romoaldo, baron Ivaldo and count Cataldo." "Carolina, everything is fixed." "Sir." "I am here to give you what is rightfully yours." "Your champion has defeated me." "I surrender myself and my people to you." "I only ask for one thing." "That you be merciful with them." "They don't deserve pillage and prision." "As for me, my life is of no value now." "Your champion has humilliated me by letting me live." "If you wish, finish his duty." "The count of Baldoca has already paid for not doing his duty." "However, when it comes to you my decision will be made as it's convenient for a just and impartial King." "Don't look at him that way, he's our enemy." "Oh, and you're looking at is what?" "our friend?" "In consideration of the courage shown by you, not only in battle," "We want you, King Romoaldo, to grant you not only my forgiveness but that you continue to rein over your people." "But in order to ensure a lasting peace between our people, I ask of you... that you marry one of my daughters... as long as they want to." "Of course." "This is my decision." "You ae free to accept or declare a new war." "Thank you milord." "You are more generous than could be expected." "But I've no motivation to declare a new war." "Of course you have." "You don't know how much the King has humilliated you." "In truth the count of Baldoca is his..." "Goodbye, general..." "When it's necessary, it's necessary!" "General?" "General, general, general!" "General!" "He's turned into stone!" "Take him outside." "Stop, don't drink it!" "I don't take orders from a rat." "Conceited." "I'm a friend of yours." "Let's see if you recognize me now..." "And from me, will you accept an advise?" "Conceited!" "I don't know why I waste so much time with you." "Why did you not go to the river with me?" "With you by my side I wouldn't have failed." "But you haven't failed." "You just followed the human heart's impulse." "What do you know of the human heart?" "Eh... more than you imagine." "Goodbye, Fantaghiró." "Yes, yes, for real, seriously." "You!" "Did you really believe I'd abandon you?" "She's my first, Caterina." "She looks made for me." "My good friend Cataldo has confessed that just by looking at your daughter Caterina he's been hit by her inteligent and beautiful expression." "Therefore, on his behalf I ask her hand in marriage." "Say yes, father." "Father?" "Eh, yes, I only want your happiness, Caterina." "I accept." "And this is my second, the beautiful Carolina." "So, do you want to marry King Romoaldo?" "Intercede for me also, I beg you." "Wait." "No father, with your permission, I'll marry baron Ivaldo." "Ah, beh... there's not much to do, I'm afraid." "Dear Romoaldo, what do you think of this?" "I agree." "I'll leave my throne to you both." "These marriages will unite our people in peace." "And now I beg you..." "He can marry Fantaghiró!" "Right... he could, yes." "No milord, I'll never marry, ever." "My heart is lost forever." "But you don't know Fantaghiró." "She's beautiful, inteligent, lively... and... oh my God!" "the potion!" "Hurry, hurry, come with me!" "No, I wish to meet no one." "But no, you don't have to meet her, you have to save her." "Let's go." "Only you can decide your destiny now." "They're about to come." "If you don't love Romoaldo, drink the potion." "But I love him..." "Repite what you just said." "I love him, I love him, I love him, unfortunately." "Then don't dispare." "He's about to arrive." "But look the condition I'm in." "I'll take care of that, better, not exactly me..." "The Witch of the Forest!" "Yes, and ducky and the frog... it was always me." "Also the white knight." "But let us not think of this now, we've a task at hand." "Right, you've ended looking like a rag." "I've understood, we'll do a complete treatment." "Yes!" "Wait, if you really want to save someone count me in." "But I won't marry any girl, I couldn't love her, my heart belongs to..." "Wait till you see her..." "It's too late, she should have just gone to sleep." "Not dissapear." "I haven't dessapeared." "Why do you blush?" "I've never kissed a knight until now." "Me neither." "From now on there will be no one King no govern you; the throne will be divided between my three daughters and their courageous husbands." "The two kingdoms that have lived in war for so many centuries will merge into one and between both castles cities will prosper, and everyone will have jobs" "and food for you and your children, and your children's children." "I've been a war King." "This is my reason for giving up the throne and go." "To cross the world telling of this tale as a message of peace." "This throne will not be empty." "Queen Carolina and King Ivaldo." "Today you are more beautiful than yesterday, my dear." "You'll say the same thing tomorrow." "Queen Caterina and King Cataldo." "Will we be worthy of the task that awaits us, dear?" "If we doubt, we'll ask the people." "They will decide if we're worthy of this throne." "And now she who's courage and love have defeated war itself." "Queen Fantaghiró." "The Queen is outside defending the ducks." "Come look!" "Excuse me, let me pass!" "I've told you a million times not to cook the ducks, I even made a law prohibiting it, a law that makes ducks animals not for consumption." "Woe to you if I catch you again hunting one of them with the intention of eating it." "Romoaldo, all of you are here!" "You haven't started again, have you?" "I thought you changed, but now..." "I've only revised my defects, not my values." "And I was explaining to them that they have to respect the Law." "Isn't that part of governing?" "But today to govern means taking part of the investiture." "Oh, yes, but, what's the advantage of being many rulers if we always have to be together?" "Yes, maybe you're right." "In any case your presence today is fundamental." "There is only one crown, and I believe the people will want to see it on your head." "Listen, the ducks are also happy."
