I came here to kill Meika.

However...

Please.

Please marry me.

It's just...

For once...

I want to experience love.

I have fallen in love with you.

I'm confused.

I'm wavering.

I want to take that next step.

I want to see everything I don't know about you.

Because I've been by Meika's side,

I've learned so many things about her.

God...

If you really exist...

Yuri!

Please bring me back to that moment

so I don't forget.

So my hatred can live on...

And so that...

I can forget these feelings.

Welcome.

Can I have some lilies?

Certainly.

How's the plan going?

When is the ceremony?

April.

Our goal...

to kill the princess whom everyone adores.

To take revenge for Yuri,

who was raped and impregnated by a Sanjo member, then she died.

I'm sure we can drag those culpable Sanjo scoundrels

straight down to Hell.

Don't you agree, Kou?

Yes.

However...

your marriage to the princess changes things a little.

A baby.

If you have a child with the princess,

the child will become the heir of Sanjo Empire.

Once we have that,

then we'll make wonderful work of killing the princess.

After that,

you can manipulate the child from behind the scenes

and take over the Sanjo Empire.

Kill the princess,

and you will secure the wealth and power of the Sanjo Empire.

Not a bad plan, you agree?

That's why...

you need to get her pregnant as soon as possible.

You can have the Sanjo Empire.

I love you.

I love you, Meika.

My name is Yuri.

His name is Haruka.

But...

I can't betray them.

Haruka.

Yuri.

What's wrong, Kou?

You're crying.

Did something happen?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sorry.

I can't afford...

to love her.

Kou.

I love you.

Haruka.

Sorry for calling so late.

Kou?

You need to tell me if there's a change of plans.

What?

Did you abandon the plan to have a child and takeover the Sanjo Empire?

Well, I get it. That way would take too long.

Haruka?

I knew it.

It's best to kill her immediately.

What are you saying?

I'm just kidding.

But one day, the princess might unexpectedly go missing...

Be careful not to let something like that happen, okay?

Talk to you soon, Kou.

Those two would definitely make a cute baby.

I've really been looking forward to it.

I was wondering if he'd do it soon.

But it's still going to take a while...

I wonder if he's going to double-cross us.

No.

He won't be able to do that.

You're right.

If there were no Sanjo Empire,

Yuri wouldn't have died.

Finally...

I'll be able to give a good report to Yuri.

Hey, did you guys hear?

Mr. Fujimiya has secured the contract with Tobu Tradings!

- No way! - They were holding out for years!

That's right. Isn't he amazing?

No wonder he's the Princess's husband!

He really is amazing!

Kou, you're incredible! Everyone's singing your praises.

Thank you.

The Sanjo Empire would be lost without you.

Well, that goes for me too.

Yes, yes.

Thank you for saying that.

I'm going out.

Ah, okay.

Have a good day.

What...

should I do now?

Kou!

Hey, Kou!

Kou.

Who do I choose?

You've done an excellent job

securing that contract.

Thank you, sir.

You've always done your best for the company and Meika.

No...

I should be thanking you.

I am very grateful to you

for taking me in

to work in Sanjo Empire.

You don't have to thank me.

It's been nine years, hasn't it?

Since that fateful day you and Meika met.

That's right.

Are you okay?

Do you remember it?

That day,

Meika came to tell me that you saved her.

She wouldn't let go of your hand.

Normally, she would never act that way with a stranger.

She must be really happy that you saved her.

Maybe she thought you were worthy of trust.

So that's why

I entrusted you to be her bodyguard.

Kou.

Looking ahead,

please continue to take care of Meika.

Sir...

I'm back.

Meika?

Isn't it best to kill her immediately?

Meika!

Meika!

Meika!

Meika!

What's wrong, Kou?

Meika.

Why do you look scared?

Where were you?

I popped out to the convenience store.

I saw a commercial for limited-time sweets-

Kou?

I can't lose her.

I want...

to protect Meika.

I love you.

I love you, Meika.

Kou.

Are you crying?

I love her.

I could never bring myself...

to lay a hand on her.

Kou!

What's up? Why did the unexpected visit?

Haruka.

I want you to back off from the Sanjo family.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't able to save Yuri.

I'm sorry...

I always wanted to apologize for that.

Kou.

What are you saying?

Let's end this.

I'll give you my life.

Kou?

Huh?

Where did he go?

I beg you.

Please stop this revenge on Sanjo Empire.

Never.

Even if you die, I'll never stop taking revenge.

So...

if you really want to protect the princess,

you need to kill me first.

If you really want to protect the princess,

that's fine with me.

But...

I will never be able to stop.

Kou.

It wasn't you.

I'm the one who left Yuri for death.

I should have...

kept a closer watch over her.

To entrust her to your care when you were still a child,

it was my mistake.

I'm sorry

to have put you through that pain.

I'm sorry, Kou.

That night,

Yuri was smiling.

No!

It was not a genuine smile!

She must have been really scared.

And she didn't have a choice.

I'm sure...

she must have smiled to make me feel better.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it...

I can't kill Haruka.

Haruka, who sacrified his own life

and even joined the underworld to pay for my school fees...

Haruka, who raised me...

I'm not...

going to abandon

you and Yuri.

Meika...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

Mr. Fujimiya quit his job?

Seems like it.

I have no idea what happened.

Lady Meika. What's going on?

I'll report the details at a future time.

I understand.

It's been a week

since Kou went missing.

I haven't heard anything from him.

- What? How has this happened? - What's wrong?

Private information of Sanjo's clients has been leaked!

Huh?!

This is bad! Sanjo's servers have been taken over!

It's true! My computer's not working!

What's with the security?

What about this?

Could you check this real quick?

­

This is the work of Kou.

Hello, everyone.

Your security has been stretched thin.

That's quite dangerous!

Kou.

We came to offer our greetings.

These will be the final greetings for the Sanjo Princess.

- Chairman! - Don't interrupt.

And don't let any outer guards come in.

So, is this revenge?

For what happened 14 years ago.

That's right.

The Sanjo principal abused the children in the orphanage,

and even impregnated Yuri in the end.

So then she jumped off the roof with the principal and died.

Did you know about this, Chairman?

I didn't know,

until after Kou first met Meika.

I did a background check on Kou,

and learned that 14 years ago,

a distant relation of the Sanjo family committed a crime.

It was covered up by his relatives,

and treated as an accident.

I had no way of knowing about it before then.

You didn't know?

Well, it doesn't really matter.

I'll be taking the princess's life either way.

Why the princess? She has nothing to do with it-

That's right.

She has nothing to do with it.

There's no reason why she should die.

But none of us

had any reason to be tormented either!

By that Sanjo bastard...

By other adults...

Children who had done nothing to deserve it

were tortured and mistreated.

There wasn't a single reason

for her to lose her life.

Accept that her death will have no reason.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that you were put through something so terrible

at such a young age.

Kou...

I knew all of this,

and I kept you by my side.

I knew it was safer

to keep you close than to send you far away.

However,

the whole time I observed you, I knew...

I knew that I could trust you.

I could entrust Meika to you.

Please...

spare her life for mine instead.

Grandpa!

Stop it, please!

Meika!

Let go, Meika!

Enough, I'm tired of this!

It still has to be the princess.

I don't love you.

You hated me, didn't you?

But you also loved me, didn't you?

Kou.

I love you.

Hereby,

I, Meika Sanjo,

confirm our divorce.
