1
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,720
A long, long time ago...
2
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,840
... so long that
nobody remembers...
3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,080
... a king lived
here in the castle.
4
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:29,280
And his daughter, the
lovely Princess Miamaja.
5
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,400
Although it was a fairy
king, they were not fairy rich.
6
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,720
It was the fault of the war.
7
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,280
Father Magnum wanted to
help Astralius make gold, -
8
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,680
- but instead it became summer,
in the middle of December!
9
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,960
There were 5 more days
... until you know.
10
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,520
But you couldn't see that,
neither outside nor inside.
11
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,240
the night is dark
and far too long
12
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,360
but only lasts until sunrise
13
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,520
when the moon
man closes his eyes
14
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,320
and the stars go out,
then the night is over
15
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,960
good morning, the sun is rising
16
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
yawns stretching his body
17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,720
good morning,
now it goes loose, wake up from your slumber
18
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,880
the day is calling, it is dawn,
it is fresh and new
19
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,880
it is morning again.
20
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,880
TOURNAMENT TODAY
AT THE CASTLE.
21
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,920
RINGRIDING, ARCHERY, HIKING...
22
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,920
Aim!! And again. Fire!
23
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Better to hit the frame
than not to hit at all!
24
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Very majestically struck.
A real nose-stiffer.
25
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Let the old spectacle dance a little.
26
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,760
Then I'll practice shooting
at a moving target.
27
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:35,760
On the minute.
28
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,160
Oops!
There Sysmund became executed.
29
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,560
I am thankful that the king wants
to put a horn on my forehead.
30
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,600
- Happy summer, Valentin.
- Yes, it is pecular.
31
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,320
- What are you doing with that poor horse?
- Junker Juchs has demanded it.
32
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,080
It's his. The whole mane in small braids...
33
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,480
After all, it's going to look like a
blacksmith's madame for a dance ball!
34
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480
Or a fancy madame.
35
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,280
- What about the hunter's horse?
- It must not have braids.
36
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,280
- It must go as well as it can.
- I think it will work.
37
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,520
You should do well today.
38
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,680
In all. Especially in front of the simple hunter,
for whom the princess has a soft spot for.
39
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,840
As he is a hunter,
he can handle a bow...
40
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,720
There's advice for that...
Maybe I can deflect his arrow with my artwork.
41
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,280
If it behooved me to dueling him,
it had no worry.
42
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Nonsense! Dueling is out of the
question with such a simple person.
43
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,640
But you could make
him a laughingstock.
44
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,400
With my help. Furthermore...
45
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,520
If you were to talk
to the princess, about betrothels, -
46
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,920
- then you could let it be understood,
without saying clearly, -
47
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,520
- that we could probably
overcome obstacles such as dowry.
48
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Thanks to the 'fish' we
have at the bottom of the lake!
49
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Surely uncle, understandable. She'll be excited
when I say what we have hidden in the moat.
50
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,320
- Damn you!
- What we did with the grain money...
51
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Stop! Will that boy send
me to the fool's coffin with his talk?
52
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080
You said it yourself...
53
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,760
I haven't said anything!
54
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,640
You say even less. You spoil the whole
plan with your chit-chat!
55
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,720
I have on my honour, only the best of intentions.
Uncle's plans are a bit far-fetched...
56
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,880
- I will give you far-fetched!
- ... For an ordinary person.
57
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,920
- I'll do what you say.
- You do well to do that!
58
00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:17,120
Remember; better say too little, than too much!
59
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,120
The one who is silent may seem
preoccupied with... deep thoughts.
60
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Where the other on the contrary, the speaker often reveals
himself to be an ignorant scoundrel.
61
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,040
Don't take it.
62
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Messenger from Montania
with important letter to the royal majesty!
63
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,480
Yes, it's me.
64
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,400
Sysmouth! You read.
65
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,360
It's probably unpleasantries.
66
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,920
"There are now
f-i-v-e days until X-m-a-s."
67
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520
"Kind regards Montania."
68
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Uh...
69
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,760
The enemy does not like
our little Christmas games.
70
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,520
Who knows what can
happen... with that weather.
71
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,480
The weather! Everyone has been so
looking forward to today.
72
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,480
That joy, we must not deprive them.
The worries can easily wait until tomorrow!
73
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,960
- Dear count, a word...
- Always very happy.
74
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,520
"Anything can happen yet" you said...
How can you think that,
75
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,760
when it seems that only
a miracle can save us.
76
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,320
A miracle, yes. Or a grand plan.
77
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Don't worry. Just let them come and
demand the princess.
78
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,800
You know, I trust you, more than myself.
79
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,160
But how to prevent the supreme
power from taking its right?
80
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Simple. By making sure the princess
is betrothed before Christmas.
81
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:09,600
How? There's only five days.
With whom?
82
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:18,940
No! You must be crazy!
So young a maiden and this old... No, never!
83
00:08:19,580 --> 00:08:25,080
You are doing me unjust! My hat
does not stand for any child bride!
84
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,520
It goes in a completely
different direction...
85
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,440
Who are you thinking of?
... For the princess.
86
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,320
It may be clearer when
the day's sports are over.
87
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,560
Shall we?
88
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Look how they swing and prance, dance around!
89
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,180
I would rather they were dancing
around something else in the sweet Christmas time…
90
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,400
If the weather wasn't bewitched,
if it isn't asking too much.
91
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Reasonably demanded...
Shouldn't Magnum out, so he can see the stuff?
92
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,680
He doesn't care, I told him.
Until he figured out to make the weather fit the season!
93
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,720
Well...
94
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,280
Dare I suggest a
heart strengthening?
95
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,520
- Before the final ring.
- An excellent idea!
96
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:39,440
Just let the two combatants get nervous,
while we get something for the throat.
97
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,720
A toast to our king, the
gentle ruler of justice!
98
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Thanks... Let the best
man win in a fair and honest fight.
99
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,720
Long live the king! Hooray!
100
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Uh!
101
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,160
It was the Juncker! The Junker won!
102
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,840
And the healthy hunter
fell flat on his bum. The nice man.
103
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Ah yes, high to
fly, deep to fall...
104
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,360
- See. now they have to shoot to the target.
- All the way to the Target?
105
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,040
It's not easy, but it can be done.
Just to keep it straight and focussed.
106
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,000
Perhaps you should
demonstrate it, dear brother.
107
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,160
No one can match
you as a shooter.
108
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:04,960
Now let the young people.
I have a good eye for the hunter.
109
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,600
Better look at the junker.
It's a cavalier.
110
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,600
It's not always the toughest plum,
that grows in the neighbours herb garden.
111
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,560
NO!
112
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,640
The Council threw the face into the sun
of the hunter.
113
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,800
Rice and dish, he threw the sun
in the hunter's face. I saw it just as circa.
114
00:15:36,940 --> 00:15:43,640
- Humans can also tease.
- You know better than anyone, it was cheating!
115
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,120
People cheat.
116
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:53,040
- I could hit that target well.
- Better hit the junker on the ear.
117
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,320
Ha-ha!
118
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,760
It's time I made myself useful.
119
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:20,400
You are whimsy. If your father had
seen how you can hit!
120
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,680
Thanks, I saw every word.
121
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,680
It had almost cost me
my best and only hat. See, yourself!
122
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:38,560
If I don't get peace soon, summer
will last until... summer.
123
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,440
TRUMPETS.
124
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,080
Now they have to 'jump mountains'.
125
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Who dares put a specie-coin on
the little hunter against the king?
126
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,720
- The king's mouthpiece.
- You? What do you have to put in?
127
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,520
- My summer salary.
- All that? How much did you get?
128
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,360
- Not a white one.
- Nothing at all? You deserve at least the double!
129
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:42,600
How are you with heat, junkers?
130
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,480
There is coolness behind you.
131
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,040
POOH!
132
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,520
Uncle!
133
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,680
Take the cane, junker.
You are far my superior, -
134
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,420
- when it comes to
the right handling...
135
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,920
- ... of a silver cane. Here you go.
- Can I really? Thank you very much.
136
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,320
- You wanted to talk to me, Sire?
- Yes, we have had a lovely day...
137
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,480
But this letter has hung over
me like a cloud before the sun.
138
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,680
The enemy has the upper hand.
Might is right!
139
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,520
I dare not tell Miamaja,
she will probably have to give in.
140
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,920
And then?
141
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Then, I tell you, if Miamaja must marry
and leave the country, -
142
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,560
- then I travel with her.
143
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,720
But the kingdom? Who will... rule?
144
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,680
- I'm a tired, old man.
- But... the country?
145
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,000
- You must rule the country, Councilor.
- Me?
146
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:59,320
Yes. I trust you like I
trust myself.
147
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,720
You're going to be Lord Chancellor,
governor or what do I know...
148
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,920
How about... Deputy King?
149
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:16,480
Isn't that a bit...
No, titles don't matter.
150
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,080
No, nothing at all.
151
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,680
If only I had known... uh...
152
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,720
It's terribly boring, -
153
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:39,880
- but if it can't be anything
else, I have to... sacrifice myself.
154
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,320
VALENTIN SOUNDS LIKE A FOX.
155
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,200
Valentin!
156
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:16,680
- Are you clucking like a hen?
- It should otherwise be a fox.
157
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,480
FOX ANSWERS VALENTIN.
158
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
It answers you? Is it a fox?
159
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,520
- I think it's with cubs.
- At this time a year?
160
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Nothing is as usual.
161
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,960
It used to be so boring
here... before you came.
162
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:46,120
- Do you want to see the kids?
- Yes! How?
163
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,840
- We leave when the sun rises.
- When the sun rises?
164
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,840
