The medicine...
It's done.
Ellen...
You're burning up!
To think you pushed yourself to this point...
I can't believe she managed to make this kind of medicine.
It's worse than I thought.
Ellen's strength and growth are out of balance.
Huh?
If I'm being honest, we should have anticipated this...
But you would have stopped her if you'd known, wouldn't you?
What do you mean by that?
I wanted to know Ellen's limits.
I'm sorry for not telling you.
I must discuss matters with my older sisters.
Was Ori testing Ellen?
MELANCHOLY OF RAFILIA
Miss Ellen.
We need to talk.
Yes, sir...
Not eating, not sleeping, and holing up in your room!
You had everyone fretting!
Gosh, I was so worried about you that I thought I was going to lose it!
- Lose it, I tell you! - That's, uh... I'm sorry.
From now on, no more pushing yourself like that!
If you do, I'll never take you to the Vankreift mansion ever again!
What?!
Ellen, you don't understand just how worried I was, do you?
Father?
Oh, Rovel. This was really hard on you, wasn't it?
Mother...
Next time you use your powers, don't lock yourself away, okay?
Do it where we can keep an eye on you.
Huh? How come?
Your father's so beside himself because he couldn't keep you from collapsing.
Father...
You haven't yet mastered control of your powers.
You still need to practice a bit more, okay?
Y-Yes, ma'am...
That said, I am impressed you were able to make something like this.
That's my girl.
Thank you!
Ellen doesn't care to fully understand my feelings...
If anything could stop my beating heart, it's Ellen.
I would never!
You totally would! Ellen, you dummy!
Dummy, dummy, dummy! I was really worried, you know?!
As an apology, let Rovel hug you all day today, okay?
The medicine is done?
Yes. With this, I can fulfill the promise I made to everyone at the mine.
Is that right? Ellen, you truly are amazing.
Isn't she? Our little Ellen is incredible.
Now, the next thing I need to do is...
Huh? There's more?
Yes.
After that, Father, Uncle, and I made frequent visits to the mine together.
Gold and diamonds...
And silver too!
I made it seem like the minerals had always been there.
We were able to reopen thanks to Ellen.
Yeah.
Then, as promised, I began the pneumoconiosis treatment for everyone.
Furthermore, I produced painkillers, antibiotics, cold medicines,
and allergy medications for them all to ensure their good health.
Seeing the miners so full of vim and vigor lifts my spirits as well.
Truly, nothing beats being healthy!
Concerning that, Father, Uncle, I would like to discuss something with both of you.
Now then, Ellen, what have you come up with this time?
I heard the church in town is also used as a treatment center.
I was thinking I'd like them to manage the medicine I produce.
You'd leave your medicines in someone else's hands?
Eventually, anyway.
Brother, what do you think?
Well, as long as it doesn't become a burden for Ellen...
It'll be fine.
I'm never going to do anything to worry you ever again, Father!
I see. Then it's fine.
Thank you so much, Father!
I'll get that arranged for you right away.
Please do, Uncle.
All right.
What is the matter?
Listen carefully, Lady Rafilia.
I've told you many times, haven't I?
These are very important rules that a noblewoman must follow.
You must learn them properly and—
I've had enough already!
Day after day, all I do is study! And I'm sick of it!
I didn't come here to be a noblewoman!
Lady Rafilia?
Wait! Wherever are you going?
Just leave me alone!
You mustn't run! It's improper!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Going to live with Father is like a dream come true!
Yes, it is.
You won't have to work anymore, right, Mother?
That's right.
Then we can be together all the time!
I can't wait!
Wow! It's like a castle!
My, how uncouth! Get down here this instant!
You are a member of the Vankreift family.
You must learn to become a proper lady worthy of the name.
If you do not conduct yourself accordingly, you will cause problems for the duke.
This isn't what I imagined.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. And...
I want to see the prince.
Rafilia.
The next time I come by, I'll be sure to bring you something.
I wish he'd come already.
Oh, that's right! The other day, Lady Ellen...
Hey! Just what is Ellen's deal, anyway?
Oh, please, don't mind us.
If you'll excuse us, Lady Rafilia...
Everyone keeps going on and on about Ellen!
Just what exactly is she?
Father!
Rafilia? I'm always telling you, aren't I?
A lady shouldn't be running like that.
Oh, I'm so sick of hearing that!
I came here to ask you something!
Sorry, but I'm busy at the moment.
Please go ask your mother.
Why are you always like this?! I can't believe you!
Sauvel.
Don't you think your daughter had something important to talk about?
Huh?
If you're her father, hear her out.
I hang on every word my daughter has to say!
Almost to the point of annoying her, you know?
Mother!
Lady Rafilia, whatever is the matter?
Listen to this, Mother!
Rafilia... What is it?
Father is being horrible!
Just shut up already.
Mother...
I'm not feeling well. Can't you tell?
