The Rose of Versailles Episode 25 "A Minuet of Unrequited Love"
That's about it for today.
I ran out of bottles for the targets.
Yeah.
I'll bring the horses.
OK!
Hey, Oscar! Want a bite?
I'll take it!
There!
Who is it?!
Sorry for that nice apple!
But I also wanted to show off my skill for both of you!
How're you doing, Oscar Francois?
You look fine as always, Andre!
Hans Axel von Fersen reports he's just returned from the American continent!
Fersen...
Fersen!
Fersen...
FERSEN!
The Rose of Versailles Episode 25 "A Minuet of Unrequited Love"
Episode 25 "A Minuet of Unrequited Love"
Merci, Andre.
You're welcome.
It's already been 2 years since the War of Independence ended.
Everyone came back right away.
What have you been doing?
I'm sorry for your worries about me.
Right before I started for home, I came down with a fever.
So I stayed alone in America, in and out of bed.
It took longer than I expected to recover.
I see.
Ah, delicious!
I haven't eaten real French food like this for such a long time.
It really makes me feel that I've come back to France.
Oscar, there's only one way that I should take:
to become a betrayer!
I'm going to run away. Run thousands of miles away!
Oscar, please take care of Lady Antoinette!
I'm really glad that you came back safe.
Mademoiselle Oscar, I've prepared a bed for Lord Fersen in the guestroom on the second floor.
No, Oscar, I'll go back to my estate.
I'll send a message to your estate tomorrow.
"The Jarjeyes guarantee to cure the Count's travel fatigue. "
for a week or month... make yourself at home.
Oscar...
Please do.
It's already been 7 years.
I'd like to hear your stories about America, too.
Thanks.
I'm surrounded by such wonderful friends... thanks!
I went to the battlefield, thinking I could abandon everything... even my life.
I'm really fortunate to be alive!
Let's toast again.
For the return of Count Fersen from the journey thousands of miles!
Yes, Cheers!
Cheers!
Thank you.
You woke up pretty early. Did you sleep well, Fersen?
Uh... yes, very well!
It's become my habit to wake up early from the battlefields.
I still haven't gotten over it.
I see. So that's it.
You should let her know you're back as soon as possible.
Her Majesty must be worried about you, too.
Sooner or later, I thought but...
I intend to go back to Sweden without seeing her.
Seven years ago, I ran away from Lady Antoinette.
Cowardly and selfishly.
And that was the end.
It was a romance that must better be ended.
I only stopped in France to confirm it to myself.
Not to burn with love, not to fan the flames again.
As you've suggested, I've decided to stay here for a week or two.
My return will be publicly known, if I return go back to my estate.
Please, Oscar. Don't tell Her Majesty that I'm back.
I understand.
Come on, Andre!
Get ahead of me, if you can!
I've never expected this.
But Lady Antoinette is no longer in Fersen's heart.
Can that be possible?
But if... if that's really the case,
Now, with Fersen right here in front of me,
I feel he is the only man I could allow myself to love.
Hans Axel von Fersen...
By the way, Oscar.
You've been promoted from Colonel to Brigadier for your marvelous job in the Necklace Affair,
Your Nanny told me this morning.
Uh, yes...
Congratulations!
I would definitely have promoted you all the way up to a General.
It's such a wonder that God created you as a woman.
Andre, are you all right?! Any injuries?
No, I'm all right.
How could they be so nasty?!
Who were they?
It's probably a harassment by the citizens in Paris.
Citizens? Why?
It happens quite often these days.
The estates of other nobles have also been targeted.
Ever since the Necklace Affair, more and more people have come to hate the nobles and the royal family.
Even among the nobles, some abandoned the royal family to join hands with the citizens.
I can't believe it.
I've heard about it in rumors, but...
During the seven years you were away, Paris, Versailles, and all of France have been gradually changing.
What has changed?! How?!
The Era of Nobles is coming to the end soon.
We no longer think that the royal family is everything in France.
If we're eating bad food, the Queen and her bunch should eat bad food, too!
Right! Only they get to eat good food!
And with our tax money!
That's right!
If they eat good food, so should we!
Yeah, that's right!
Yesterday, a child in Grandvillier died.
A child died because he couldn't buy a bread.
The day before yesterday, a woman in Temple died.
A woman died because she worked too much to feed milk to her child.
Die! The fat pigs should all die!
It has changed...
France definitely changed.
When I was still here, the royal family was loved although there were some slanders.
The people still loved Her Majesty.
Oscar, I've decided to go to Versailles after all.
The royal family is now facing a crisis.
The only thing that I can do at such time is...
for someone that I could not forget even if I tried.
For someone that I love...
is to be by her side.
No matter what anyone says,
I just can't watch the misfortune of the woman that I love!
I'm glad you're back safely.
Your Majesty seems well as always.
Oscar! It's time for shooting practice.
Are you going?
Yeah, I'm coming.
Wait for me downstairs.
OK!
There!
New movements can rise with the power of a blazing fire.
I learned that through my own experience in America.
Some small fires are beginning to light up in France as well.
They must be put out before the sparks fall onto the royal family.
If you would allow me,
I am ready to serve by Your Majesty's side for the rest of my life.
I learned after 7 years.
How ignorant I was to let my heart burn passionately.
How dangerous it was!
I'll never let it flare up again.
Instead, I will keep my feelings for you quietly lit in my bosom forever, like the flow of the River Seine.
Like the flow of the River Seine...
Yes.
Look, Oscar. Migrating birds.
They are heading back south.
No matter how freely they fly in the sky, they eventually go back to their destined land.
Nobody can stop it. Nobody...
Your Majesty!
I must offer my opinion as your loyal servant.
Please leave this villa and come back to Versailles Palace!
I heard many nobles' hearts broke away from the royal family since Your Majesty moved in here.
Please come back to Versailles promptly and call back those nobles!
It's necessary to keep at least the nobles on your side.
And please cut your ties with Mme. Polignac and her group.
It causes discord with the People as well as with the Court
to have the nation's queen listening to the opinions of only one clique.
I, Hans Axel von Fersen, will abandon my homeland Sweden instead!
I will dedicate all of myself to France for Your Majesty's sake!
Have you heard about it, Madam?
Yes, about Her Majesty.
She's coming back from the villa to Versailles, I heard.
Did she have a change of mind all of the sudden?
I don't know.
And, did you hear about Mme. Polignac?
Oh, what could it be?
There's a post available for the Finance Minister right now.
Yes.
So, Mme. Polignac asked Her Majesty to have her relative for the Minister.
Oh, like she always does.
Yes, but Her Majesty said,
"I've decided I shouldn't decide such matters only with my judgment. Ask His Majesty through a proper channel. "
My!
The influence of Mme. Polignac and her entourage is getting weaker everyday.
Anyway, it is a felicitous occasion.
Lady Antoinette is finally coming back to Versailles from the Villa today.
and will resume the audience with the nobles and other duties.
She probably took the suggestions from Count Fersen.
The count is now officially a colonel of the army regiment
and visits Versailles Palace everyday.
Have a nice day, Mademoiselle.
All, march 3 steps forward!
The Royal Guards will guard Her Majesty from the Trianon to Versailles Palace.
If you find any abnormalities, report immediately.
Stand by until I give out orders.
All right, take positions!
Die, nobles!
Emergency positions!
One escaped!
Capture him!
Vive la France!
Don't give in, Oscar!
What are you thinking at a time like this?!
Oscar, what's wrong?
Are you wounded?
Andre, tell Gerodere to take charge.
I'm going home.
Oscar...
Fersen...
Ah, Fersen...
You went back to someone who needs you more than anyone else,
and who loves you more than anyone else.
After the 7 years of separation and 7 years of suffering, you still went back to her.
I think that's wonderful.
I think you're wonderful...
With all of my heart,
as a woman for the first time.
A corset...
Ah, pannier, pannier!
And... stockings...
What are you doing, Grandma?
It was worth the wait and the effort to make a dress after all!
A dress?
Mademoiselle Oscar said she's going to wear it for the ball tonight.
What?! Oscar is wearing a dress?!
Don't make it so tight, my waist will tear.
Please stay still!
Ouch!
Are you trying to rip off my scalp.
It's a hairdo!
There are styles in hair!
Are you serious, Oscar?
Are you serious, Oscar?
My Oscar wears a showy dress and dances with other men?!
Hmph, Oscar wearing a dress?
It's like putting a cloth on a tall scarecrow!
It would be unbearable to see!
Andre! Come here!
OK, OK!
Andre!
All right, all right!
Take a look at Mademoiselle in a dress!
All right, all right!
Oh, look, Madam.
Oh...
Who is she?
She looks as if she's come alive from a Greek statue.
She's a countess from a foreign country.
Her rank is too high so her name will be kept secret.
Oh, a foreigner?
I've seen her somewhere...
Madam!
May I dance with you once, please!
Oh, what lithe movements!
A slender figure!
Even Lord Fersen is enchanted.
Countess, where are you from?
I know someone who resembles you very much.
She's beautiful, and her hair is also blonde.
Kind hearted and well educated.
She's not afraid of risking her life for her ideologies!
Normally, she wraps up her fragrant skin in a gold braided military uniform,
Rejecting men's looks as if she's an icy flower.
She's my most precious and beautiful friend.
Please pardon me.
Could you possibly be...
Could you possibly be...?!
Fersen's arms embraced me.
Fersen's eyes engulfed me.
His lips spoke words about me.
I can give up now.
Now I can give it all up!
