----------------------------------------
Lin Li is worrying about Li Ren about not eating anything. She heard about it from Zhao. She made a Thai soup that her mother made when she was sick. Li Ren said he doesn't want any, but she still prepares one while talking about Thai soup is the best comparing to Swiss one. She wants to take Li Ren to Thailand soon. Li Ren was about to say something more, Lin Li put it down strongly (she was trying to make him happy but he doesn't want it) and said sadly that it's ok if she's his sister for now. People change their feelings, her father said, so she's going to change his feeling. Li Ren still said sorry to her.
When Lin Li went out, Zhao brought Carl. Carl requested to talk to Li Ren privately. Zhao led him do so.
Carl went in and said what a terrible face color! He thought he lost to him and can entrust Kajika to him to make her happy, but he never thought of him using that way to make her sad/painful. Li Ren said even if however Carl said, he cannot do anything. Carl knows why it was happened to Li Ren, but why give up and not fight back? Carl then said that even though they are enemies in business and knows that Fang family is strong because of him, but why now getting weak by his own men. It's not like him at all, or is it his true self? If that's the case, he cannot entrust Kajika to him. Li Ren said why (does he say such thing/ does he "encourage" him)? Carl kind of laughed a bit and said he is surprised himself, too, but he feel friendship to Li Ren. He then told that Maharty is weak. For time like this, Kajika needs to be with Li Ren, right? Then he left.
The high priest is telling Lumati about Maharty. Lumati doesn't know why he wants to meet Kajika and others. Now they have arrived. Lumati met them and Kajika asked about Maharty. He said his body calms down but... then he showed a sad face. Kajika introduced Fred to Lumati. Lumati heard of him because Maharty also wanted to see him as well.
Lumati leads them to Maharty, while Toranosuke's waiting there. While walking there, Kajika's thinking about Maharty as Harry's real dad (the image showing Maharty and Catherine) who loved Catherine very much. Now is he going to die by himself, not being king?
Lumati stopped in front of the door and explained that normally those special people can enter, but today is special because Maharty wants it personally. Then they went in. Kajika, as the high priest instructed, went for Maharty first. Maharty showed his hand when he heard her voice. He touched her face and said she became such a pretty woman, my granddaughter. Lumati was shocked. The high priest said be quiet for now. He will explain later. Everyone knew about it except him. Maharty then called for Fred. He said he's here. It's been 55 years already. Both of them are old. Maharty said sorry for being unable to keep promise. Fred was able to keep promise. Maharty is happy to meet Fred again. Maharty then said that before meeting Catherine is a life like living dead, but he began to live after meeting her. He will be ending his life soon, but there's no regret. Cathrine died, but he already felt love from her. The love he got was both Harry and Kajika. There's no way they are not happy. He prayed for their happiness for a long time. He told them (especially to Kajika) not to be confused. You can love someone that use their own life like he did.
Toranosuke is waiting outside and they came out. Lumati said he still couldn't believe that Harry is his uncle and Kajika is his cousin. (I like his face, not very serious, but just too funny) Kajika said she also found out recently, Najayra's mother told her. He said "I see". Harry should be the king and Kajika should be the queen. Harry said they just want to look after Lumati, who became greater than Maharty. Kajika said Catherine loved both Fred and Maharty, she wants to tell Maharty that but he already knew. She's happy to meet him because he gave her courage.
Kajika, then with serious face, asked his father to leave within today to be just herself and not as a daughter of Harry. Everyone's shocked. Harry said ok, but the island is hers. Kajika hugged Harry and said she loves him. Then she left. Harry told Toranosuke that there's no more contract to be her bodyguard. He said oh, then he will protect Kajika with his own responsibility. Lumati, thinking, says that Harry knows that even after Kajika is set free, both Lumati and Toranosuke cannot leave her. (lol @ Harry's face when Lumati turned around to see Harry) Lumati told Harry that he's happy to know that he has the same blood flowing as him.
Back to Li Ren. He's remembering what Harry said when he found out the true identity to Kajika's marriage game. To think about it, Harry was testing him. In result, he gave up being as Fang leader and be with Kajika. There was no confusion, but now he's betraying Kajika in this form. (Zhao went to check on him from outside a bit) Then he remembered what Fred told him. Both Fred and Harry entrusted Kajika to him. He also remembered when he saved Kajika. He said such a fool himself is. The maid, Shaoyi, then came in and brought the tea. Li Ren asked her for help. He wants her to call the relative for him and said he wants to talk to them, and to keep Zhao secret. (He begins moving now) Also asked her for cinnamon roll with a smile. After she left, he said the game is not done yet, Harry.
Kajika stopped her running because she saw Najayra, whose first word is to get out since she already met Maharty. Kajika said sorry about Kwinza. Najayra said she heard about Li Ren's marriage and there's no chance to cry over it now. Kajika said she doesn't want to cry over it, that's why she's getting him back. Najayra is a bit shocked. She said such stupid thing for now, or is she going to use Barnsworth's power to get him back? Kajika said there's no relation with Barnsworth and she todl her what happened then. Najayra is shocked. She hold Najayra's hand and said wait for her to bring Li Ren.
Kajika left Najayra and is at the port, Toranosuke ran to her and said he's going to accompany her till the end. He doesn't know what Kajika do without his support. Toranosuke (he saw Kajika met Najayra) asked what Najayra said. She said she's such a cutie for coming out to say hateful thing. She can become friend with her. Then she asked Toranosuke's fee to taxi and ticket to Singapore! She has no money and Toranosuke is furious. Eugene said want to go to airport with his car? If she's willing to, he can even drive her to Singapore. Eugene knows about what happened to Li Ren through news. He asked what she wants to do, so he can give her whatever she wants. She said she wants Li Ren. Eugene said, ok, he will give her. He hugged her. He thought she would be crying when he heard the news. He doesn't want her to be sad. So he's going to give Li Ren to her. He's now thinking about what Kajika gave, a life after 20 years old and a name called Mustafa. He said it's ok if she likes someone else because he wants her to be happy and he can bear his painfulness. That's what he wants, to be in eternal painfulness just to see someone who he love to be happy.

I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
All we got was the "chase after who you love" speech with Li-Ren picking up some balls. Nothing else really...oh yeah, Rumati finds out about his relationship. Too slow. Very boring.
Eh, it was an all right episode. I feel the series is just sorta wasting time with these last few episodes since everything with Lumati is all taken care of. I can't seem to care about Carl or Eugene and their oh woe love for Kajika any longer.
This angst with Li Ren seems unnecessary too. But I suppose its to sorta to mirror how both Kajika and Li Ren's need to give up something to be with each other, unlike Kathleen and Mahaty.
First off, thanks to tsubasalover for the summary. The subs for this episode were particularly awful.
Lumati finally finds out he's related to Kajika. About time! And my prediction that Kajika would get courage from Mahaty came true. During the bedside scene, did anyone else think it was weird that Mahaty didn't say anything directly to Harry?
Toranosuke, you are useless. What have you done during this series? GTFO of this anime. I am filled with needless hate for you.
@noteDhero: because of you, during the short scene with Zao and Carl, I kept thinking something was gonna happen between them. Thanks. :P
Looks like Carl finally gained some backbone, while Li Ren lost his. And it's about freaking time someone told Rumaty about Kajika's family background!
Honestly, this show is so ridiculously slow, and that's just one of the many flaws it displays. Probably the most boring shoujo I've seen yet, apart from maybe Hakuouki 2...
Toranosuke is a freaking joke, so annoying and useless.
Damn you Eugene and your rich ass.
They won't show Mahaty's face because he's essentially Rumarty and that will be how Rumarty will look when he's old.
We don't want to crush bishie/shoujo dreams here so might as well not show you Rumarty's future self.
This really should have ended like 4 episodes ago blah.
All seriousness they made him very alluring can see how the ladies keep falling for him.
Has Ono D done another role like this?
stand said: Toranosuke is a freaking joke, so annoying and useless.

Everything you said was truly especially about Machaty and it would ruin Rumaty for me lol
Completely forget Kajika hasn't told Rumati she's her niece.
So why couldn't Machaty follow through on his promise? Thought we'd learn, but guess not. Bit rich giving that advice when he didn't go back for Kathleen.
I was wondering what incredibly stupid thing that'll somehow work out Kajika would come up with this time.
I was touched when I heard Machaty's conversation with Fred :') sorry for being weak.
And Kajika! I didn't think she would cut ties with Burnsworth.. it was a big decision. Moreover, it turned out that the situation was that she had no money and had to borrow Toranosuke's money xD (well Toranosuke finally useful~) but what surprised me even more was that Harry agreed without thinking.. even though we know that Kajika is Harry's only daughter after all, even though she left the name Burnsworth but she is still his daughter. At least Harry left Givolli Island for her~ there was Maria and the others who would look after Kajika, and they all (some people in Givolli) still being paid by Harry and the other men are rich and loves her to death so yeah.
And Li-Ren! My boy! He finally realized that Harry had challenged him back then. I was so happy that he came back to his senses. It really hurted my eyes to see Li-Ren became someone so helpless.
I guess they will live in Givolli and become ordinary citizens eventually :D
Ooohh and Eugene ♡ although it felt weird that he could suddenly appear but since I miss him so it's okay, I'll overlook it this time :p
