「この首飾りを巡る数奇なる運命の渦に
　私は呑み込まれ、昏き監獄を味わいましたが……
　ご覧ください。この煌めく美しさ。
　己が運命と王家とのすれ違いを思いはすれど、何、
既にそれも過去のこと。語るべき言葉はない。
　今はただ、輝きを前に、目を細めるばかりですよ」

（カリオストロ伯爵、カルデアにて語る）

"I tasted the darkness of a prison cell by allowing myself to become entangled in this necklace's turbulent fate... But do look at its dazzling beauty. Its destiny may have led to some misunderstandings and disillusionment with the royal family, but what of it? All that, too is in the past. There is nothing to say about it now, and all I can do now is to squint at its brilliance."

(Count Cagliostro, statement at Chaldea)
