"So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?" "They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?" "It's all to make us shine, I just know it..." "I loveyou, I loveyou," "I gaze atyou with my heart..." "I believe in you, I believe in you, even on the coldest ofnights." "I call out toyou with my tears, but I don't need any promises." "That's the precious strength you've given to me..." "Was it all just a dream?" "Or a vision?" "In Palas, the capital ofAsturia, I met Princess Millerna, and Van was reunited with his big brother." "But the horrible vision where I saw Van attacked still hasn't ended." "This is Palas, a beautiful citywhere sea air blows through the streets." "Fighting a kid, huh?" "This'll be easy money." "Remember, the first guy to nail him gets halfthe bounty!" "I'm gonna drink me some ofthe good stufftonight." "Lord Van..." "Sayyour prayers, kid!" "U-Unbelievable...!" "He won!" "Magnificent!" "Amazing, you only destroyed their Energists..." "Your Majesty!" "That was no test!" "That- -was really dirty." "A 3-on-1 fight is slightly outside the bounds ofchivalry." "I was merely showing my respect for Ispano Guymelefs." "How can you" "That's all right." "Uneven fights sometimes happen in a real battle." "Powerful words, as one would expect from a nation such as Fanellia, a country famed for her military prowess." "It's no wonder that Zaibach wants that Guymelef." "That Melefwould fetch a pretty penny." "So that's your appraisal?" "Typical." "Escaflowne is certainly a magnificent Guymelef." "Its beauty is enough to steal your heart away." "Ofcourse, it can't compare to Miladies Millerna and Eries." "Why, thankyou, Lord Meiden." "I beg your pardon, King Aston." "It's safe to assume that such beauty won't go unnoticed byZaibach." "What would you have us do?" "What ifwe disguised Escaflowne as one our country's Guymelefs?" "I see." "We hide a tree in the forest." "Arrangements have already been made." "What sayyou, Fanellia?" "I'll leave it up toyou." "Van..." "It's said that being too beautiful is a sin, Allen." "Yes, sire." "" Hitomi," was it?" "Yes, sir." "I've heard you're one ofAllen's companions, but where areyou from?" "Me?" "Well, I..." "I know where she's from." "She's from a distant land that has strange customs." "Thisstuffis great!" "Well, drinking down vino in one gulp is certainly unusual." "I'd like to hear more about this, Princess Millerna." "Princess, I'm not sure ifthis topic is appropriate for the dinner table." "Oh?" "And what topic might that be?" "It'sjust that..." "She is just a handmaiden, after all." "Then I'd like to talk to you, Allen." "You didn't come with me to the bazaar this morning." "My apologies." "Once I've gotten settled in, I'll stop by to talk." "I'll hold you to that, Allen." "Allen, Millerna has been betrothed to Lord Meiden's eldest son." "Really?" "Sister!" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Wasn't that whatyou were going to talk to him about?" "That's wonderful news!" "Congratulations, Princess!" "I haven't consented yet." "Father arranged it without asking me." "I onlywant the best foryou, Princess." "But I haven't even seen him in years!" "He's always offon his ship, so even we don't see him very often." "Perhaps he'll grace us with his presence on yourwedding day." "Allen'savailable!" "Folken!" "I hate it when people make me wait!" "We know where the dragon is." "There's no hurry." "We shouldjust go in there and take the thing!" "That'll make Emperor Dornkirk happy." "Excuse me, sir." "What is it?" "Sir, I have a message from General Adelphos." "General Adelphos?" "Read it!" "Yes, sir!" ""The Emperor has ordered the conquest of Freid."" ""I am en route to Asturia with our forces."" "The Four Generals are coming in person?" "They must've located the Power Spot." "So the Emperor has finally found what he's been searching for?" ""The Destiny Prognostication Engine has detected the dragon's shadow."" ""Capture it before the operation commences."" "Great!" "" P.S."" "" Don't get carried away."" "That's all, si" "That's all, sir." "Ifwe're going to invade Freid, that means we'll be using Asturia's harbor as a staging ground." "He's saying that he doesn't want you to do anything rash that will rub Asturia the wrong way." "We should occupy the stupid harbor, then." "I just want to pay that bastard back." "Ifit's revengeyou want, you can get it after you've captured him." "Oh, soyou're going to give meyour little brother?" "I'm a man who destroyed his homeland." "Allen." "Princess Eries?" "Can I helpyou, Princess?" "Stop leading Millerna on." "I know that Millerna is still infatuated with you." "Butyou..." "You'rejust replacing Marlene with her." "Millerna's growing to be more and more like Marlene." "It may be natural foryou to see her in Millerna, but she's not Marlene." "I don't want to see Millerna hurt." "It's always the woman who ends up being hurt!" "I'll never fall in love again." "Liar." "Van!" "I'll beyour sparring partner." "It'samazinghowmuchhe's improvedinsoshorta time." "But..." "He's taking toomanyrisks." "Ifhekeeps this up he'llgethimselfkilled." "Beautiful swordsmanship as always, Allen." "Princess!" "This is no hour for a lady to be out for a stroll." "And this is no hour to be out practicing with swords, either." "Allen..." "Princess." "You're an engaged woman." "Father decided that, not me!" "I..." "Allen, why can'tyou understand how I feel?" "Princess Millerna..." "Allen!" "Huh?" "Did you have too much to drink, too?" "You don't want to go up there." "I'm hot!" "I need some fresh air." "What's his problem?" "I can't figure that guy out." "Why doyou only call me " Princess"?" "I just want to be a regularwoman!" "Allen...!" "AndMillerna...?" "Allen..." "Allen?" "Princess?" "I'd throw away everything foryou." "My father." "Even my country." "Millerna..." "Hitomi!" "Allen, staywith me." "I'm so stupid!" "Of course Allen already has somebody!" "I haven't even known him forvery long..." "I'm so stupid..." "The city lights are so pretty..." "Nights in Fanelia were pretty, too." "There were so many stars, all shining so bright..." "It was pretty there..." "Hitomi?" "Hey, what's wrong?" "Wait a minute, areyou crying?" "Leave me alone!" "You are crying!" "C'mon!" "Why areyou crying?" "Tell me!" "Go away!" "What was that for?" "!" "Fine, cryyourselfdry!" "What?" "How come she has to be so hot-headed?" "King Aston's charging way too much for this one." "She's must be Meiden's type." "She got sold off?" "Aw, why should I care?" "I gotta tell him." "I gotta tell Lord Van." "Help me!" "Somebody help me!" "Nobody can hearyou!" "Not even a Guymelefcan touch us in the water!" "Allen..." "I guess there's no reason for him to come after me." "We're doing everything in our power to assist in the search." "But Asturia is a big country, and there's a limit to the number ofsoldiers we can spare to find a single Guymelef." "Then allow us to conduct the search ourselves." "We'll use our own troops to find Escaflowne." "Ifyou don't mind, I'd like to know why you're so interested in that Guymelef." "I see." "Enter." "Lord Folken!" "Our men report that the dragon is caught in our net!" "Come on, Lord Van!" "Hurry!" "I owe Hitomi." "I'm going to save her this time." "That way!" "This shadowgraph was taken by one ofour lookouts." "It would seem that we don't have to search for it, after all." "We didn't think that it would be disguised." "Send out the garrison at once." "Yes, sire!" "I had no idea it was already in Palas." "Folken, it's time foryou to keepyour end ofthe treaty." "My capital is in danger." "I request the dispatch ofZaibach soldiers." "You are a formidable king, Your Majesty." "Wake Dilandau." "Um..." "That won't be necessary." "Justyou wait, Van." "Ididn'tknowyou were suchalightsleeper." "Oh, I'mstill dreaming." "He'shere." "He's in my dream." "That's an urban area." "Don't involve the citizenry." "I'll see what I can do." "There they are!" "We're being followed!" "He followed us in the canals?" "!" "Dive!" "Dive!" "Allen!" "Merle!" "Swim to shore!" "Lord Van!" "That'll lose him!" "No Guymelef can follow us underwater!" "What the" "Lord Van!" "Allen!" "Van?" "Van came to rescue me?" "Areyou okay?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "What kind ofmoron would let herselfbe kidnapped by Geckos?" "Well, pardon me for being so stupid." "Found him!" "Van!" "What the" "Hey, wait for me!" "BURN!" "The city..." "The city's burning!" "You can't get away this time." "Stop it!" "We can't fight here!" "Hey, it's your fault." "The city's on fire because ofyou." "My cheek is throbbing because ofyou." "So DI E!" "What?" "!" "Dilandau!" "Ifyou try to do any more damage to this city, you'll answer to me!" "You again, Allen Schezar...?" "Areyou okay?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "Goodbye, Allen." "Blue searchlights meet beyond the Moon..." "Yeah, my angel who came flying down, who areyou?" "The doors ofdestiny are opening before us, solet'sjustfallin love." "I can't break free ofthis moment that's making my heart flutter..." "Don'tstop, baby!" "Your mystic eyes are settin' me on fire, your innocent smile breaking'me down..." "You're the only one with that look in your eye." "An endlessjourney is beginning with this unstoppable pounding in my heart, and I wanna swoop down and takeyou with me!" "Escaflowne..." "Come on, talk to me." "You're..." "You're an angel..."
