Has Schwan left?

Yes, Your Majesty.

It's cruel to do to that child,
but we have no choice.

I regret that this is the only way
to protect the kingdom.

The fault for spoiling him is ours,
mine and my daughter's.

You have served the house of Dōwā
to the best of your ability.

Thank you

for allowing me to meet Schnee's
children while I still live.

He is like me.

You will see them again, Your Majesty.

Here in Dōwā, in this room.

Due to ill health, Chief Officer Grossular,

who is spearheading the plan,

could not attend, so I shall coordinate.

This will be our final meeting
before we proceed.

I'd like to confirm we're on the same page
about what will happen tomorrow.

Today, we also have Prince Jean with us.

Now, the fate of ACCA

and the thirteen territories
rests upon this coup.

We cannot alter the plan,

but we can still cancel it.

No one here, sharing our goals,
wishes to do so, yes?

Very well, let us proceed
with final confirmation.

Your role, as patrolling beat cops,

is crowd control, in case of chaos.

We're really going ahead with this.

I think we'll succeed, though.

I hear the prince will only have
around fifteen guards.

They say the Privy Council knows of the
coup and doesn't support the prince.

But who'll become king instead?

If the replacement wants to
abolish ACCA, what then?

You have a point...

When will they announce that the
Otus family has royal blood?

I wonder if Lotta's doing okay.

When the press rushes over,
I'll protect her from them.

If I may?

The plan calls for the prince
to swear an oath to

concede his claim, right after
he's been taken into custody.

But couldn't that wait till later?

I mean,

I don't think I should force my way
to center stage tomorrow.

I feel that will make the prince stubborn.

I worry that things won't go smoothly.

You may be right.

It's His Highness, after all.

So when you speak to
the prince tomorrow,

I'll leave it up to you, Chief Officers.

Once we reach an agreement
with the prince,

please delay announcing my royal lineage

until a later date.

Then, let us do that.

Is everyone else in agreement?

I believe this will be a success.

That's tomorrow's schedule, isn't it?

Are you all right with this?

Please don't look at me like that.

What do you think would
be best for this nation?

I've always wanted to talk to you
about this, Chief Officer.

About ACCA and this nation.

Even if we talked until dawn,
it wouldn't be enough.

Yes, Commander. We are fine here.

The prince is sulking a bit,
but that is his fault.

You're rather harsh toward
your master, Magie.

But I do wonder whether
we have enough guards.

His Highness did not want them.

He said there was no need to
arrange theatrics for ACCA.

The Privy Council president approved it.

I thought you were going to serve
me sandwich bread, Magie.

Something's different...

I can sense the tension in the air,
even so early in the morning.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

At the least, I can protect
Lotta from the crowd.

Jean should be safe, as well.

He's under ACCA's protection.

I'm just not that worried
in general, I suppose.

I wonder why.

You should stop already, Nino.

You don't exist to serve the Dōwā family.

I'm doing this because I choose to.

Then stop saying things like,
"I'm not supposed to have fun."

I've always had fun.

Even now.

Maybe I'll get scolded for that, too.

Perhaps because it's about Jean...

Well, it's time.

Yes.

Huh?

Jean's all the way up there.

It's the prince!

What's the schedule?

After the anthem, the chief officers
and the director-general

will address the crowd,

followed by Your Highness's
speech and then—

I don't care what follows.

The only ones here

oblivious to the coup d'état are

the prince and his people.

What's the meaning of this?

How dare you treat me in this manner?!

It is to protect ACCA and the nation

from the heir who wishes
to disband ACCA.

We are not the only ones.

I doubt anyone wants you
to ascend to the throne,

not even the Dōwā family.

What's going on?

Disband ACCA?

The prince isn't thinking about the nation.

If one like that is king, there'll be war.

I'm against his ascension!

Not my king! Not my king!

It's the ACCA coup I've heard about.

They seek to ruin me,

and put another on the throne.

Someone who will protect ACCA.

Why are you over there?

Why will you not step forward?!

Jean...

Silence!

In this nation,

there is but one prince,
Your Highness Prince Schwan.

Please refrain from referencing
wild speculation.

ACCA will protect the nation.

It is the same as protecting the Dōwā
family, the nation's symbol.

The nation has enjoyed constant
development and prosperity

under Dōwā family rule.

The Dōwā family's continued peace

assures peace for this nation, in turn.

I do not believe this was
a part of the schedule.

We would like you, the family heir,

to take better care of yourself.

We are honored that
ACCA has your trust.

However, we would still prefer
that you not attend functions

with such a small guard detail.

We understand, of course, that your
guards are highly trained elites.

But we wished for you to realize that,

as you just experienced, a gun may

be pointed at one any time.

To that end,

we incorporated a highly theatrical
exercise into the ceremony itself.

Please forgive our insolence.

Your thoughtfulness in avoiding
a brazen show of power will

surely be admired by the people.

The Dōwā family avoids conflict.

That is why we have peace.

Rulers who favor shows of power
will not bring peace to the nation.

That is why the Dōwā family
symbolizes peace.

Under the Dōwā family, ACCA will
continue to protect the nation.

We entrust the future
to you, Your Highness.

I would like ACCA

to safeguard the nation for posterity.

Your Highness, your hand.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Nino?

This is...

It seems that Furawau alone

was not informed of this farce.

Evidently, you relied on trickery too
much to win such a major wager.

Will Furawau continue the game?

You were involved, too.

Then, it was you?

Once Director-General Mauve

told me about my royal heritage,

we strategized in Kororē,
to prepare for today.

So that your game would
become ACCA's game.

And now, we've won.

In this game, a win for
Furawau would look

different than a win for ACCA.

For us, a win is to have ACCA's
continued existence assured.

But for you and Furawau,
that wasn't the case.

ACCA's preservation was mere
pretext and justification.

Your true win would be for you to
usurp the Dōwā family's position.

Fear that local autonomy
would fall with ACCA

bred self-preservation in each district.

If you could take advantage of it,

attainment of your goal
wouldn't be impossible.

But if ACCA won first,

Furawau's game would be
over, then and there.

You acted on speculation?

No, you didn't.

Director-General Mauve has

conducted a thorough investigation
of Furawau's internal affairs.

She has testimony from the
Furawau representative

in the central council.

I knew no one outside the Lilium
family could be trusted.

What will you do now?

Will you still play the game
with another strategy?

Furawau will leave the game.

The game called "Dōwā Kingdom."

This was your feat of strength,
Director-General Mauve.

The Five Chief Officers are
no longer needed in ACCA.

The five leaders, central to ACCA's
creation a century ago,

became its chief officers.

We are their remnants.

I believe we can abolish the position now.

You are the leader.

Last night, Otus briefed me on the plan.

Today, I was hesitant to stand here
as one of the Five Chief Officers.

To me, the thirteen different
uniforms look like

the symbol of solidarity now.

Thank you.

An exercise kept secret, even from us.

The director-general is quite the leader.

Jean!

Sorry to worry you, Lotta.

Nino was with me!

But when I looked for him, he was gone.

I see.

Um, thank you for telling
me about the danger

when my life was at risk.

I told her.

Then you should thank him.

Yes, His Highness was worried
about both of you

and ordered me to warn you.

You both should come to the castle.

I'm sure Grandfather would be pleased!

So, in the end, not even their
royal lineage was publicized.

That was well done.

Yeah.

So, though matters have been resolved,

tensions will remain high in
each branch for a while.

We return to our important work
of monitoring each district.

First, we have a staff dinner tonight.

I'll have your next assignments then.

Here it comes.

I'm so nervous!

Chief, what's in that envelope?

Jean's normal transfer request.

For ACCA, the ceremony marked
a transition to a new system.

The positions of the Five Chief
Officers were abolished,

and Director-General Mauve became
the highest-ranking official.

Question!

Yes, young man?

Why does ACCA's symbol
still have a thirteen,

even though there are twelve districts?

ACCA Headquarters Director-General
Mauve

It's what Chief Officer Grossular wanted.

I agreed wholeheartedly.

Grossular submitted his resignation,

but Mauve dissuaded him.

He remains a chief officer,
in an advisory capacity.

ACCA Chief Officer
Grossular

I still hope that someday,

Furawau will return to Dōwā Kingdom.

No need to change it for now.

With Furawau's secession, there were

concerns about a resource shortage.

But the discovery of underground
resources in Pranetta

drastically changed the conversation.

Many flocked to Pranetta and

applied for residency,
to pursue their dreams.

In particular, a growing number of
young applicants from Yakkara.

Of course you bet on the winning horse.

Former ACCA Chief Officer
Spade

Anyway, I'm retired now...

Just an ordinary citizen,
so never mind me.

With ACCA's transition,

the other chief officers left for
their own destinations.

As Jumōku's district chief,
my goal is obvious.

Jumōku District Chief
Pine

To spread our specialty goods
throughout the nation.

Naturally, that includes Suitsu.

In Suitsu, for the first time,

residents will be able to elect
their next representative.

My reasons?

Just look at this beautiful scenery.

Suitsu District Chief
Pastis

I've realized that all residents love
this beautiful land of Suitsu.

That is all.

Who knew you'd be nominated
for the council?

Suitsu will change from being
a nation to a district!

Suitsu's development was

welcome news to citizens who were
shaken by Furawau's secession.

So ultimately,

where did the leak regarding
Jean Otus's bloodline originate?

Who knows?

It doesn't matter now.

Nothing to do with the Lilium family.

Or with Furawau Kingdom.

Your Highness, Miss Lotta
has arrived from Bādon.

This is a present, sandwich bread!

I accept.

This is for Magie, from Agent Rail!

You really care for your friends!

Oh, and this is for the first princess,

to thank her for telling me
so much about my mother.

She tried to have you killed.

"Because the first princess
apologized," she said.

And above all, because
she was her mother's older sister.

Grandfather is waiting.

Well done.

Everything was Privy Council
President Qualm's orders.

We had to eradicate

the Lilium family's plots before
Prince Schwan's ascension.

Even if that meant involving
the Otus siblings.

I would never have conceived
of such a thing.

But you supported his plan
by insisting that Jean

would never want the throne himself.

And for the past six months,
you guided Jean's actions.

In terms of orchestration,
an impressive feat.

It was nothing so grand.

You know that better than anyone.

His Majesty no longer needs photos.

You are released from your duties.

You are free.

Live as you see fit.

I will do so.

It's time...

I'm leaving.

In any case, we'll meet again.

After all, you and I will live as we want.

Where to?

To Beak Beauty Salon, in the east sector.

Can you make it quick?

Dyeing my hair blond is such a hassle.

Inspection Department

Welcome back, Deputy Chief.

You must be tired from your trip!

I'm not that tired, actually...

The schedule's relaxed this time of year.

Your previous rounds
were just too tough.

Is coffee all right?

Sure.

Hey, I saw them again in
the downstairs café,

Director-General Mauve and
Chief Officer Grossular!

Don't you think they're a great pair?

I do! They'd be wonderful together!

My parents died in the
Peshi-Rokkusu train accident.

Due to the accident, I once met Chief
Officer Grossular back then.

He came to meet with bereaved families.

He laid a hand on my shoulder,

and looked at me, without a word.

If I really do have royal blood,

I believe the chief officer may have
already known, even back then.

But if he did, he never
spoke of it to anyone.

I think that's the kind of man
Chief Officer Grossular is.

I became interested in ACCA

because I sensed how proud he was of it.

You really like him, don't you?

And in time, another who shared the
chief officer's perspective emerged

and became director-general.

I know my feelings will be unrequited.

You are the same way.

I have boundless respect for
the chief officer, as well.

Here.

There's enough for me?

Yes.

It was for Knot,

but he left early.

His wife contacted him.

He's going to the airport to pick her up!

By the way, Deputy Chief,
isn't Lotta traveling now?

Have you been eating okay?

We can all go out for dinner.

I'm fine.

Even if I were drinking by myself,

my partner in crime would just wander in.

Are you having fun, Jean?

Having fun at prom?

Well, it was all unfortunate...

In many ways.

And why are you ditching the queen?

You were voted prom king, right?

Isn't it hilarious?

It's more suited to you.

We really haven't changed, have we?
