Pandora Hearts

Oz Bezarius.

In the name of the Chain of Judgment, I shall bring judgment upon you.

Your sin is...

...your very existence!

Someone once said...

...that a darkness would appear that would swallow everything.

But...

that doesn't mean there was never any light.

Young Master!

Young Master! Where are you, Young Master Oz?

Young Master Oz, where are you?

Young Master Oz!

Young Master! Young Master Oz, where are you?

For goodness sake! Where could he have gone?

Young Master!

Gilbert!

Yes.

Since you're the Young Master's servant, you should know!

Gilbert! Where is Young Master Oz hiding?

What happened to the Young Master?

It's almost time for the banquet, but he's nowhere to be found!

yet he's nowhere to be found!

Don't tell me Young Master intends to boycott tonight's ceremony?!

W-Who knows? Actually, I haven't seen Young Master since lunch.

By the way, Gilbert... I heard from Young Master,

That you seem to have a phobia of cats!

The Lakeside! Young Master and Miss Ada have gone to the Lakeside!

The Lakeside, eh?

Alright, let's go catch the Young Master!

Young Master, you can come out now.

Thanks for the hard work, Gilbert!

Mrs. Kate's gonna scold me for sure!

That's too bad, Gilbert.

Alright, Ada. Let's go to the chapel!

Please wait for me, Young Master Oz!

Not so loud, Gilbert!

Mrs. Kate'll hear you.

S-Sorry!

They sure did a good job at renovating this place.

You can't even tell that it's an old building.

It was repainted especially for you, Young Master.

It feels kind of too gaudy.

Wow!

Pretty!

So the ceremony's being held here tonight?

Yep.

It's as if everything is wishing for your happiness, Young Master.

That's the Tranquil clock...

Yes, it's the Tranquil Clock, which has hibernated for a hundred years.

The prophecy says:

"The Fated will walk towards the Promised Place

and the Clock will sound and break the Silence."

Who's that?

So you're here, you bunch of naughty brats!

Uncle Oscar!

You're always worrying people.

You're such a bother.

Don't make Mrs. Kate worry too much.

But she's even more uptight than usual.

I just wanted to loosen her up.

I don't blame her for being uptight.

After all, this is the coming-of-age ceremony

for the next head of the House of Bezarius, one of the Four Duke Houses.

I'm talking about just that!

Why do they have to make it so complicated?

What a pain!

For a noble like you, who's turning 15, it's inevitable.

Just give it up.

Well, I am happy that I came to this place for it.

It's been two days and there are still places I haven't explored yet. I'm having fun!

This mansion is pretty amazing.

It's said that its history spans of over 200 years.

Nowadays it's only used for Coming-of-Age ceremonies.

So it's really that old.

Isn't it even older than "The Tragedy of Sabrie"--

Well, anyway, this isn't a place where you can come as you like.

Just consider it a party and have fun.

Alright.

Will you be hosting the ceremony?

Yeah. I'm sorry about that.

It should've been your father instead of a replacement like me.

What are you talking about?

To me, you're just like a father.

In fact, I think it's better this way.

Oh, right, Oz.

That favor you asked from me was finished in time.

Really? Great!

I hope it fits.

There won't be a problem.

Master Oscar! Is Young Master Oz in there?

Uncle, please! Can I play for a little longer?

You can't! You promised to stop by 3 pm!

Shut up! I already said I'm playing for a while more, didn't I?

Young Master!

Dinah

Now, now! Don't bully Gilbert too much!

You wanted to buy some time, right? Be back early.

Master Oscar!

Ah, I got it! Give me a minute!

I'll come too!

Listen up, Oz.

You're not allowed to fool around during tonight's ceremony.

I know.

If you were to create any trouble,

I'd call a Chain of the Abyss on you.

Sorry, but that threat died a long time ago.

Ada, let's go!

Wait, Young Master!

Master Oscar!

Coming, Mrs. Kate! Sorry for the wait.

Where are we going, Young Master?

A secret base! Nobody can find us there.

Pretty!

It's the Capital, Leverru.

Hey, Brother. What's the Abyss?

Ah, it's a prison for bad guys.

It's said that once you get locked in there, you'll never come back out.

Gil, isn't that the prison we read about in that book last time?

That's right. The Chains of Abyss will descend upon criminals,

and take them to a very scary place.

That's how the Legend goes.

You two, come here and take a look!

Hurry up, over here!

What is this?

Isn't this place great?

I found it this morning.

Pretty!

Indeed.

Gil, here.

This is... Isn't this a little small for Young Master Oz?

Idiot, that's not the point.

It's for you, Gil.

What?!

It's been decided that you have to participate in tonight's Coming-of-Age Ceremony too.

My clothes are too big for you.

So I got Uncle to tailor it for me.

What's this?! You never told me!

Of course! How could I tell you?
