Marie Antoinette

Queen of Lily and Emperor of Rose

Marie Antoinette:
All together!
Vive La France♪

Fou:
Fou, foou!

Dr. Roman:
Vive La Fra–nce!

Marie Antoinette:
Vive La France♪

Fou:
Fou, fou-foou♪

Dr. Roman:
Vive La Fra–nce!
Marie!


Fujimaru 1:
What is this?

Mash:
...Um, well.


Fujimaru 2:
Vive La France!

Mash:
...You too, Senpai...?


Mash:
When the Doctor said he wanted to summon Marie to Chaldea for something–important,

Mash:
I thought it might have something to dowith repairing the singularities, but...

Mash:
I never thought that "something important"
was telling her he's a big fan.

Mash:
But...

Marie Antoinette:
Ready, go♪
Vive La France♪

Fou:
Fou, fou-foou♪

Dr. Roman:
Vive La Fra–nce!
Marie, you're the greatest!

Mash:
They are having so much fun, so I'm going to leave them alone for a while.

Marie Antoinette:
Vive La France♪

Fou:
Fou, fou-foou♪

Dr. Roman:
Vive La Fra–nce!
Marie!

Mash:
...

Marie Antoinette:
Okay, now we're getting excited♪
But it would be better with more people.

Marie Antoinette:
Hey, Doctor.
Is there a place we can go with more energy and people?

Dr. Roman:
Of course!
The Second Singularity, the repairing Rome!

Dr. Roman:
There shouldn't be any enemy Servants, so I can guide you there safely!

Mash:
Huh?
S-Senpai, the Doctor's saying that–


Fujimaru 1:
Can't hurt, can it?

Mash:
R-Really?
...I guess you're right. It can't hurt.


Fujimaru 2:
MARIE!

Mash:
Senpai??


Fou:
Fooou!!

Dr. Roman:
Okay!
I'll get the Rayshift system ready right away!

Marie Antoinette:
My, what a wonderful place–

Marie Antoinette:
So this is the ancient Roman Empire, the land that all the nobles of Europe dreamed of.

Marie Antoinette:
The buildings are splendid, and there're so many people!
And look at all these smiles!

Marie Antoinette:
This is a great place!
Thank you for bringing me here, Doctor♪

Dr. Roman:
Not at all. Anything for you, Queen Marie.
But there was one mistake I made...

Dr. Roman:
You need an operator to perform the Rayshift, which means I have to stay behind...

Dr. Roman:
...This is the biggest mistake of my life.

Fou:
Fou, fou-fou♪

Mash:
The wars have ended and everyone's full of energy.
I'm glad–


Fujimaru 1:
I wonder if Nero's doing okay.

Mash:
I'm sure she is.
Not knowing history, just knowing her.

Mash:
That's how it seems to me.
But I know she's got a lot of trouble ahead...


Fujimaru 2:
Should we...not say hello?

Mash:
No. Rome's being restored, so Nero may have no memories of us.


Marie Antoinette:
Oh?

Fou:
Fou?

Marie Antoinette:
Oh? Oh?
I see a splendid palace over there.

Marie Antoinette:
It's different than the ones in my era.
The town and palace are both different.

Marie Antoinette:
I'd like to see what's inside.
Heheh, let's go take a look!

Fou:
Fooou♪

Marie Antoinette:
Come along, Fou.
Let's take a tour inside that palace♪

Mash:
Huh?

Mash:
...Um, um, Senpai? Marie is heading further and further away. Let's go after her!

Marie Antoinette:
Hmm, so this is how it looks.
It looks elegant, but it's also sturdy and strong.

Marie Antoinette:
I feel strength within the beauty. Perhaps it comes from the trust and pride toward this country's culture.

Mash:
W-We finally caught up...
I can't believe she just walked right inside the palace.


Fujimaru 1:
As expected of the French Queen.


Fujimaru 2:
Amazing, huh?


Mash:
Yes...
She passed by the palace guards with just a smile...

Mash:
She has a noble aura, you could say.
Like she belongs in any palace.

Mash:
Her words, her expression, even her smallest movements, they're all so noble that even I might...

Mash:
If I were a palace guard, I might let her in too.

Dr. Roman:
She truly is the last queen of France–
Amazing...just amazing...

Dr. Roman:
I wish I could have seen her walking through the real Versailles Palace, and smiling by the fountains...

Dr. Roman:
If one of the singularities turns out to be 18th century France, maybe I'll get the chance...

Dr. Roman:
But sadly, the Rayshift system won't let us travel to any location except the singularities.

Dr. Roman:
If only all the other eras hadn't been incinerated...sob...

Marie Antoinette:
Huh?
What's this over here?

Marie Antoinette:
Is it a throne? An ancient Roman throne!
How wonderful!

Marie Antoinette:
Come here, Fou.
We'll look at it together!

Fou:
Fou, foou♪

Mash:
Oh.


Fujimaru 1:
She ran off again!


Fujimaru 2:
Let's follow her, Mash!


Mash:
Right, Senpai! We'll follow her!
Oh, she's surprisingly fast!

Nero:
...?

Marie Antoinette:
(Grin Grin)

Nero:
And you are...?

Marie Antoinette:
(Grin Grin)

Nero:
Umu. Are you a foreign royal? I sense an intense royal aura about you, though it does not rival my own.

Nero:
For you to come before my throne, you must be.
Umu, I shall allow it.

Nero:
But where are you from?
Seneca said nothing about an audience...

Marie Antoinette:
Nice to meet you, Emperor.
I am Marie.

Nero:
Umu.
I am Emperor Nero Claudius.

Mash:
(Oops! We ran into Nero!)

Dr. Roman:
(Marie the White Lily Queen, and Nero the Rose Emperor! What a picture! Save an image, Mash!)

Mash:
(R-Right now is not the time!)

Marie Antoinette:
Um, I have a favor to ask of you.
May I speak?

Nero:
What royal family are you from, again...?
Hmm? What do you wish to ask of me?

Marie Antoinette:
That throne–

Marie Antoinette:
I'd like to sit on the throne of the ancient Roman emperors!

Fou:
Fou♪

Nero:
Wha–

Nero:
Y-You say you want my throne?
Does that mean–you want to become Emperor?

Marie Antoinette:
?

Nero:
I don't know what family you're from, but you are indeed a bold rebel!

Nero:
Very well!
I see I must show you what I'm capable of!

Nero:
I shall allow it! Pick up your sword!
If you truly want the throne, seize it by force!

Nero:
We emperors have ruled Rome since the time of Romulus! You who oppose us, behold the might of the Emperor!

Mash:
W-Wait, Nero–
Um, we're not here to fight!

Mash:
(And Nero is a human from this time period!
There's no way she can fight a Servant!)

Nero:
Hmm? Have I met you–
somewhere before?

Dr. Roman:
Huh–Oh, right. The era is repairing itself, and she's started to forget about us, maybe.

Nero:
No, I remember your name at least.
Mash and Fujimaru, was it?

Dr. Roman:
Huh? She remembers and forgets?
Maybe she'll remember tomorrow?

Nero:
You're with Marie, then?
Very well! I'll fight you too!

Nero:
Oddly, the headache I've had all day is gone!
No one stands a chance against me at full power!

Mash:
Wait–
Huh? What...What's this...?


Fujimaru 1:
What's wrong?


Fujimaru 2:
Mash?


Mash:
I'm sensing powerful magical energy from Nero!
She wasn't a mage in life, though!

Dr. Roman:
H-Huh? I'm picking it up here too!
What is this? It's Servant-class!

Dr. Roman:
What's going on!?

Marie Antoinette:
Uh...? Huh?
What is it?

Dr. Roman:
Ah! Queen Marie has no idea what's happening!
We're about to start a duel with Emperor Nero!

Marie Antoinette:
Oh, I see–
Good luck and do your best, Fujimaru.

Mash:
You're just making us do it?

Nero:
Let's begin!
May the thunderous applause echo here!

Mash:
There's no stopping her now! Commencing battle–!

--BATTLE--:

Mash:
...S-She's strong.
How can the human Nero be so strong?

Dr. Roman:
Where is all this energy coming from?
Did something happen to Emperor Nero?

Nero:
I'm feeling great today!
I feel like I could expand our borders tomorrow!

Nero:
Marie, was it?
I can't give you the throne, but that was splendid.

Nero:
I love your beauty. You have the purity that's lacking in Rome. It would be a shame to pluck such a pretty flower.

Nero:
You can sit on the throne a little later when no one is here. Tonight, we'll have a banquet!

Marie Antoinette:
I'm honored, Emperor!
Right, Fou?

Fou:
Fou, fou♪

Mash:
Fou really likes her...
A-Anyway, I'm glad neither of them died.


Fujimaru 1:
...They're friends now, too.

Mash:
That's right.


Fujimaru 2:
We're gonna eat tonight!

Mash:
We did use a ton of magical energy.
I want you to fill yourself up, Senpai.


Dr. Roman:
I'm so jealous... You guys get to join a banquet,
and all I get to do is watch...

Marie Antoinette:
Hehe, we'll bring back presents, so don't be sad Doctor.

Dr. Roman:
Queen Marie!
Oh, Vive La France!

Marie Antoinette:
Vive La France♪

Fou:
Fou fou-foou♪

Dr. Roman:
Vive La Fra–nce!
Marie!

Nero:
Hmm? What's this?
I don't know, but I'll join in! Vive La Rome!

Fou:
Fou fou-foou♪

Mash:
...

The Fragile Lily

Mash:
Where...?

Mash:
Where is this place?
I think I was resting at Chaldea...

Mash:
I was trying to...
sleep in my room, I think...

Marie Antoinette:
–That's right.
You were all asleep.

Mash:
What...?


Fujimaru 1:
So sleepy...


Fujimaru 2:
Huh? Marie?


Marie Antoinette:
You're both awake, then.
Good morning♪

Marie Antoinette:
However, you both are actually still asleep.
So am I, more precisely.

Marie Antoinette:
Your bodies are dreaming, but your minds are with me.

Marie Antoinette:
So you can't hear the Doctor here.
You can't contact Chaldea.

Marie Antoinette:
You understand what I'm saying now, don't you?

Mash:
We're dreaming...?

Mash:
The records say that a Servant and Master can share memories in their dreams.

Mash:
But this...
For us to recognize each other–

Marie Antoinette:
It's because Chaldea's summoning system is slightly different than normal summons.

Marie Antoinette:
That's what happened.
Or perhaps,

Marie Antoinette:
"You" are the only one dreaming, and the others are just characters in your dreams.


Fujimaru 1:
Which means–


Fujimaru 2:
???


Mash:
The dream of the butterfly, right?

Marie Antoinette:
I wonder.
Who's the dreamer, and who's the dream?

Marie Antoinette:
But there's one thing I do know.
Especially for me.

Marie Antoinette:
This is...
The place I must walk.

Mash:
The place you must walk...

Marie Antoinette:
This is my Temple.
Not the real one, of course.

Mash:
The Tour du Temple–
The place where Marie Antoinette awaited execution.

Mash:
Then this is your mental landscape?
This space, no, this place.

Marie Antoinette:
That's what it looks like to me.
How does it look to you?

Marie Antoinette:
If my memories are reaching you, then it must look the same to you. Otherwise, perhaps you're seeing

Marie Antoinette:
the closest place to it in your own memories.
Heheh, don't get scared, okay?

Marie Antoinette:
It's all right.
I'll be sure to lead you to the exit.

Mash:
That means we need to find a way to escape, doesn't it?

Marie Antoinette:
Yes. –I'm sorry.

Marie Antoinette:
These are my memories. What was once in my heart.
A world where I waited for death, with no escape.

Marie Antoinette:
But you two are different.
And so I can get you out.


Fujimaru 1:
Let's escape.


Fujimaru 2:
Let's go together.


Marie Antoinette:
...Yes.

Marie Antoinette:
Come, let's go.
To the outside. To your real world.

Mash:
...It's a labyrinth, isn't it?

Mash:
But I don't really feel lost.
Is this your doing?

Marie Antoinette:
Yes.
Because you two are here.

Marie Antoinette:
I don't know if I could escape on my own.
These are my memories of sorrow and misery.

Marie Antoinette:
But you are here for me.
I'm connected to you as a Heroic Spirit.

Marie Antoinette:
And so I won't lose my way.
I'll make it to the exit–

Mash:
...Wait.
Multiple presences detected ahead.

Mash:
Magical energy responses?
Wait, these aren't from living creatures.

Mash:
...Though I don't know if you can feel magical energy in a dream.

Marie Antoinette:
This is what I once felt.
It's fear, death, and of course, sadness.

Marie Antoinette:
...It's all right.
We can win.


Fujimaru 1:
Get ready, Mash.


Fujimaru 2:
Let's break through.


Mash:
Yes, Master.
–Moving to engage enemies!

--BATTLE--:

Mash:
...We defeated them!

Mash:
Good thing the summoning system was working.
It must be because it's linked to your existence.

Marie Antoinette:
Whew! We made it.
There's no way that we'll lose.

Marie Antoinette:
I was sad when I was here, but I never gave in to despair.

Marie Antoinette:
Even if I died, even if my husband the King died, even if my beloved children died...

Mash:
Marie–

Marie Antoinette:
Even if the people forget the royal family's white lilies, France will be eternal.

Marie Antoinette:
That's what I believed.
I believed that this was necessary for France.

Marie Antoinette:
That's why "giving up" is the one thing I didn't do.

Marie Antoinette:
It may change form, but France is eternal.
The white lilies of glory shall never fade.

Marie Antoinette:
Vive La France!
Glory to our nation, France!

Marie Antoinette?:
...What a joke.

Marie Antoinette?:
That's nothing but self-deception. The foolish lies of a foolish queen, killed by her foolish people.

Marie Antoinette?:
The man you loved was killed. Your children were killed.
And yet, Vive La France? Really?

Marie Antoinette?:
You're a liar.
Tell them what you really think, why don't you?

Marie Antoinette?:
You want France, and its foolish people who trampled on your royal white lilies, to die.

Mash:
This is...
A Servant? No–


Fujimaru 1:
Another Marie?


Fujimaru 2:
A Shadow Servant?


Mash:
The presence is almost identical.
If this is really a dream, then...

Marie Antoinette:
Yes, Mash is right.

Marie Antoinette:
Both of us are real.
Both of us are me.

Marie Antoinette:
I am the "Marie" who never gave up.
She is the "Marie" that did.

Marie Antoinette:
I am the "Marie" who decided to regret nothing.
She is the "Marie" who sorrows, rages, and curses.

Marie Antoinette:
Both of us...are me.
Neither is a fake.

Marie Antoinette?:
No, no.
You're a fake, Marie.

Marie Antoinette?:
I'm the real Marie Antoinette. A foolish queen who broke her heart trying to save her people, and was betrayed!

Marie Antoinette?:
My curse upon France!
May it suffer a millennia of starvation and war!

Marie Antoinette?:
May it be crushed–
Under the wheels of endless revolution!

Mash:
...Maybe it's because this place is special, but I can feel her rage.

Mash:
It's a burning torrent of emotion, as sharp as a knife.

Mash:
She carried this inside of her...
And she still always smiled at us–

Marie Antoinette:
Pathetic, aren't "I?"
How could I forget smiles and love?

Marie Antoinette:
No matter how much I am hurt, or hated, I can never stop smiling.

Marie Antoinette:
Shouldn't that be the duty of a Queen?
No matter what my end was–

Marie Antoinette:
Say, why don't we stay dazzling?
Let's smile at everyone, every nation, and the world.

Marie Antoinette:
That is the "Marie" who decided to leave her mother and become the White Lily of France.

Marie Antoinette:
That's why...
I will not accept you.

Marie Antoinette?:
How dare you, Marie Antoinette! In that case,
I will make you succumb to me, and I shall rise!

Marie Antoinette?:
They want to incinerate the world?
Fine! Let them!

Marie Antoinette?:
The people, the country, the world that stole my life and the lives of the people I loved!

Marie Antoinette?:
Let it all be destroyed, with no records or memories left!
The guillotine is too good for it!

Marie Antoinette:
–I can't bear to listen to this anymore.

Marie Antoinette:
Your cries are my cries, but I don't want to hear them.

Marie Antoinette:
...Come Fujimaru.
Tell me what to do, my "Master."


Fujimaru 1:
We're leaving this place!


Fujimaru 2:
...Defeat her and press on!


Marie Antoinette:
Oui. –Let's do this, Mash.

Mash:
Right, Marie!
Master, let's go–Commencing anti-Servant combat!

--BATTLE--:

Marie Antoinette?:
...Hmm, I see.

Marie Antoinette?:
So you're fine with this.
After the way you were betrayed.

Marie Antoinette?:
And you're still smiling?
I see...

Marie Antoinette?:
...That's really who I am, isn't it?

Marie Antoinette?:
Vive La France.
The exit is just up ahead...

Mash:
...The enemy Servant has vanished.
The battle has ended.

Marie Antoinette:
Thank you, both of you.
Sorry to get you caught up in this.

Marie Antoinette:
But I feel just a little better. You got the chance to see me do something besides smile.

Marie Antoinette:
Now I have nothing left to keep from you.
And I can go back to smiling and loving.


Fujimaru 1:
...Vive La France, my Queen.


Marie Antoinette:
Yes, Vive La France!
Come on, let's go.

Marie Antoinette:
If you happen to remember this dream–
After you wake up.

Marie Antoinette:
Please don't tell the Doctor or Fou, all right?
Promise me?

Marie Antoinette:
If at all possible, I only want those two to see me smiling.

Mash:
...Of course, Marie.

Marie Antoinette:
Heheh♪ I'm counting on you!
