She said to dig up the grave, but why?
What's this?
The head has been cut off.
Huh?
The hands...
It appears the body's been treated with preservatives.
She died from being stabbed in the chest.
I suppose the head was removed after preservative treatment.
Why is only the head rotting?
Go talk to the caretaker.
The caretaker of the cemetery is the culprit?!
I'm telling you to ask him who brought the body here!
F-Fine!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Namandabu... Namandabu... Namandabu...
It's an Oriental spell.
It's a prayer !

I thought so.
Let's return to the theater.
What's this about?
It's nearly show time.
Episode 21
The Bells of the Holy
Night Urge Time Forward
Coco!
In 1887, Coco Rose came from France to wed the King of Sauville, His Majesty Rupert de Gille.
This is the tale of her tumultuous life from that time to her mysterious death in 1914.
I hope he and Victorique are all right...
You're going to explain it here?
I'll put it in words while watching the performance from this box seat.
Isn't that why I was invited?
Now...{Given extra lead in since duration is short}
The curtain is rising.
I've been waiting for you, Coco!
Tomorrow, I go to Sauville to be wed.
I wonder if His Majesty will love me?
Whatever is the matter?
I'm so anxious that I can't sleep.
Kujō.
Do you remember the case of Leviathan?
Oh, dear!
Of course.
I know your face behind the mask!
I'm about to reveal...
one more story that wasn't set down in that memoir.
One more?
How lovely...
Queen Coco was a reserved, gentle lady.
She traveled with her maid to a faraway country.
She was lonely and helpless...
But, His Majesty, King Rupert, showered Queen Coco with lots of love.
Rupert has accepted me as I am...
And for you, I... I also...
There he is!
Leviathan the Alchemist!
The foul villain who tempted His Majesty and tried to pull apart the loving couple!
Devil!
Stay away from Queen Coco!
That's right! Go away!
In the memoir, it said that the queen called for Leviathan.
History isn't always the truth.
But their love wasn't vanquished!
After Leviathan was punished and it looked like she could become happy at last...
Poor Queen Coco...
The following year, she gave birth.
However, it was a difficult delivery, and the baby died right after.
Now.
What's now?
This was when the queen died.
The stillbirth was in 1900.
She was murdered in 1914.
My my, you can't afford to be making careless mistakes, my little sister.
Silence, Pointy Head.
Excuse me?!
This is where the story splits.
The false tale that you people and the citizens of Sauville know well...
and the story that is the hidden truth.
A lie and the truth?
At this point, Coco had already been murdered.
It was probably a crime committed on impulse.
However, the murder was covered up.
And then...
A search for someone who resembled the queen began.
Resembled the queen?
The secretary recruitment!{Extended since cutting at keyframe meant under 1s}
The requirements were blond hair and blue eyes...
Just like the queen!
That's right.
The missing Nicole Lulu was remade into a stand-in for the dead Coco Rose.
It's so refreshing here!
At the country house, Queen Coco became a changed person, with a cheerful, outgoing personality.
Palace life just didn't suit her.
Naturally, since that was a different person.
There were even rumors that she used the power of a magic stone to sneak into the city.
That sprung from Nicole's actions, no doubt.
To the people who knew the real Coco, it was like magic.
And to the people who knew Nicole, it seemed like she'd become the lover of a noble.
Then, in 1914...
her hour of destiny came at last.
An emissary from France came to visit the queen...
The palace...?
I can meet His Majesty!
Needless to say, the charade would have been exposed if an old acquaintance of Coco Rose met the queen.
Coco!
Don't go!
You mustn't go!
Stay away from there, Coco!
I can't look!
But...
What's being portrayed on this stage actually happened.
The second queen, Nicole Lulu, was decapitated.
What appeared in the country house...
was the head of the real Coco Rose, which had been preserved and saved just in case.
However, it would become clear that the head was not fresh if closely examined.
And so...
Nicole's severed head was placed inside Nicole's grave,
where Coco's body had already been laid to rest.
And enshrined in Queen Coco's grave are Nicole's corpse and Coco's charred head.
This is the truth about the murder of Coco Rose.
So who was the murderer?!
How was Nicole's severed head transported outside?!
Even I don't know that.
Wha...?!
Balderdash!
There's nothing the Gray Wolf can't understand!
There aren't enough fragments.
Too much time has passed.
I'll ask Father,
the Marquis, for his judgment.
You two, stay here.
I'm so glad I came.{I really found these next several lines incredibly annoying to time. Fuckin dumb bimbos, its like the beginning of the 20th century, no need for stupid whining like this.}
There you are!
Cecil, why are you here?
As for you, why didn't you invite me?!
You're here anyway!
That's not the point!
Didn't you come here by motorbike?
I came here in a suitcase! A suitcase !
Huh? A suitcase?
You traitor!
So there are mysteries that even you can't solve.
Ouch!{A loli kicked you. It did not hurt at all}
What was that for?!
I realized you were listening in on us...
Jupiter Roger.
Jupiter Roger?
So this man is the head of the Science Academy?!
And he's also a Gray Wolf...
How did you know?
The Ministry of the Occult put this performance together to show him .
He would be sure to come.
And naturally, you would be right next to him.
I see. Your reasoning is sound.
And...
To verify the existence of the item, I knew you would make contact with me.
The item?
So you figured out what it is?
What is this thing you're talking about?
His Achilles heel was in that memento box.
Achilles heel?
In that box...
I still hold the trump card.
Don't you also want to hear about the Coco Rose murder?
Are you saying that you've solved all of the mysteries?
I obtained a certain something at Nicole Lulu's grave.
It's Coco Rose's will.
You mean that paper?!
I've already hidden it somewhere.
For our own safety, you understand.
Her last written words are:
My beloved sorcerer...
God has sent down lightning to strike our mutual sin.
I have given birth to a demon child.
And I'm sure that I will pay for it with my life in the near future.
What does this mean?
Coco Rose birthed the child of the Alchemist Leviathan.
Leviathan was African.{Paul Mooney: Once you go black, you don't come back. You go white, you go running back to black.}
So naturally, the child was...
The culprit saw that.
And in a fit of rage...
W-Wait a moment!
The person who saw the queen's baby was...
You don't mean...
However...
Someone who offered a helping hand appeared, and promised to sweep the grisly crime under the rug.
Then, a Coco double was found, ultimately leading to the fabrication of this stupid scenario.
The problem was, there was only one entrance to her room.
He was seen going in and out of it...
But, it's said that he didn't have anything with him.
He was wearing something like a large hat.
Very large...
But all he did was play his part.
The scenario writer who cast him into the fool's role was...
If the truth came out, the country would fall into disarray.
Having made that assessment, that someone hid the truth behind a veil of secrecy.
It seems you've got a quick mind.
True to your reputation.
Oh, Roger, you were over here?
I was looking for you.
My apologies, sir.
Did something happen?
No, nothing. Let's go home.
Okay.
Wait.
What is it?
Did you enjoy the performance?
Coco...
The queen...
really did love His Majesty.
Through her death, their pure love has been preserved forever.
Give your father my regards.
She said she doesn't know who the murderer is?
Take her back to the academy.
I don't care.
The ceremony is over.
Where are His Majesty and Jupiter Roger?
They've returned home.
The Gray Wolf...
The Charming Monster...
It was a good ending!
I just remembered, Ms.Cecil... {I just remembered, Ms Cecil...} {lm - puncuation error}
I hope she's all right.
By the way, why were you in Saubreme?
You said that you came with Sophie.
That was... I mean, er... I was...
Ouch!
What was that for?!
I'm awfully sorry about this.
Not at all.
Did you have an outing in town?
"The Blue Rose of Sauville."
We went to see the Coco Rose play.
I see...
Are you students at the Marguerite Academy?
Yes.
I can see you're close friends.
Marguerite Academy...
So the clock tower isn't there anymore.
Does it make you feel sad?
Why?
After all, wasn't that a special place for you and Father?
You always looked up at the clock tower and thought about him.
I have plenty of memories here.
Besides, I have you.
Our life now is more dear to me than anything.
There are two people who have disappeared from this case.
The child that was born and the maid that accompanied Coco from France.
Apparently, she bore a resemblance to Coco.
I don't know if she was a double or if they were just close...
But right before the murder, they switched places.
The one killed in the first murder was the maid, who had switched places with the queen.
Coco and her son survived.
That's one more tale...
that isn't documented in the memoir.{Bitch my mom got kidnapped and raped by some guy with a funny voice cause of your hidden ass. Thanks a lot you twat}
The quiet remainder of Coco Rose's life.
We're home.
Yes. Back to days of reading books.
You say that it's boring, and yet...
Of course it's boring.
However...
It's much better than putting you in danger.
Cordelia, what are you thinking about?
Your dear Victorique?
Or... my hateful Victorique?{That must be one hell of a threesome}
What's wrong?
Maman...{So if her mom get raped by someone like this instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-m6Ua9Iqkg , wtf would come out? A magical Gary Coleman?}
