Raise your head.

3
00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:10,960
Welcome to today's showing of
<i>OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom</i>.

4
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:14,210
We offer our heartfelt
appreciation for your attendance.

5
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:19,380
Before we begin, please be aware

6
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:23,210
that <i>The Sacred Kingdom</i> contains
scenes that some may find disturbing.

7
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:25,350
But do not fear.

8
00:00:26,516 --> 00:00:29,960
If you follow the rules
we are about to explain,

9
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,670
we can guarantee your safety.

10
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:37,250
You have the word
of Ains Ooal Gown!

11
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:40,130
You have such
majesty, Lord Ains!

12
00:00:40,210 --> 00:00:42,670
Indeed! You are truly great!

13
00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:45,460
Is this how this is
supposed to work?

14
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,000
W-Well then, I'll
read the rules.

15
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:55,540
The use of mobile phones
during the movie is prohibited.

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,170
Switch them off or put
them in vibrate mode.

17
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:01,830
If you break this rule, we'll
be switching your life off.

18
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:06,181
Private conversations and loud noises
are prohibited during the movie.

19
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:10,040
That includes screaming
during the disturbing scenes.

20
00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:14,130
We know how to
silence, permanently.

21
00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:17,710
The use of open flames,
including lighters,

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,087
and other hazardous items are
prohibited in the theater.

23
00:01:20,170 --> 00:01:22,210
If you can tell how
high our levels are,

24
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:25,540
you also know how foolish
it would be to try.

25
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:28,000
This should be obvious,

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,580
but kicking the seat in front of you or
causing other disturbances is not allowed.

27
00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:34,080
You'll be sent to
a farm upstate.

28
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:36,290
Huh? What farm?

29
00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:40,040
Recording video or audio
during the movie is prohibited.

30
00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:41,500
That goes without saying.

31
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:46,420
Movies must be experienced with your
eyes, your mind, and your whole being.

32
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:51,580
Bear witness to Lord Ains' legend and
let it be engraved into your being.

33
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:53,250
Lastly,

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,460
we sincerely hope that
you enjoy the show.

PABEL: Orlando, it's
time to change shifts.

49
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:50,070
ORLANDO: Oh?

50
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:51,320
Where's your report?

51
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,700
My apologies, Sergeant Baraja,
my thoughts were elsewhere.

52
00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:58,160
But there are no
changes to report today.

53
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,330
I wish I could see as clearly
in the dark as you can.

54
00:04:01,410 --> 00:04:04,210
I'd love to join you on the
night watch someday, sir.

55
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:07,250
My sharp eyesight was earned
through training, you know.

56
00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:09,920
You can achieve the same
thing if you work hard enough.

57
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:13,470
I'd argue that it takes talent
to get results like that.

58
00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:16,010
A talent your daughter
inherited, it seems.

59
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:17,970
I'm so proud of her.

60
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,100
She is gifted, if
I do say so myself.

61
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:22,310
Although, it's unfortunate

62
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:24,850
that she's so dead-set
on becoming a paladin.

63
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:26,860
I'm sure that she
simply wants to follow

64
00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:29,610
in her mother's footsteps,
which I can hardly object to

65
00:04:29,690 --> 00:04:32,400
but she's no good when
it comes to swordplay.

66
00:04:32,490 --> 00:04:34,450
Her archery is
excellent, however.

67
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:36,030
So, if she needs a
career role model,

68
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:37,620
I sure wish she'd look to me.

69
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,620
Did you know she's still
afraid of caterpillars?

70
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:40,700
What a silly little girl.

What is it?

73
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,960
PABEL: Demi-humans.
There's no doubt.

74
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,130
Snake Men.

75
00:04:55,090 --> 00:04:59,260
How many, sir? It can't
be a big deal, right?

76
00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:03,310
PABEL: They just
keep piling up.

77
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:05,190
And it's not just
Snake Men, either.

78
00:05:05,890 --> 00:05:07,190
This is bad news.

79
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:09,110
There's Armats.

80
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,440
And Ogres.

81
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,780
And are those Cabens?

82
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:24,700
An invasion?

83
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:27,960
At this rate, we may need a
national mobilization order.

84
00:05:29,380 --> 00:05:31,920
I'll take your word for
it, but I can't see much.

85
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,210
Have you spotted
their leader yet?

86
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:35,550
PABEL: I don't think so.

87
00:05:35,630 --> 00:05:38,260
Surely a commander of a force
that size would stick out.

88
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:42,470
Take positions, men.
And be prepared to fire.

89
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,770
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

90
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,270
I think you should
return to your squad

91
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:47,440
and wait for an update.

92
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Good idea, I'll get on that
right now. You be careful.

93
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,820
Yeah, and you too.

94

SOLDIER: Should we shoot?

96
00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:14,300
PABEL: They're still too far.

97
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:16,800
But it won't be too long, so
listen close for my order.

98
00:06:17,630 --> 00:06:19,470
I think I've spotted
their leader.

99
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:26,430
GENERAL: Stop right there!

100
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,940
This is the territory of
the Roble Sacred Kingdom!

101
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:33,770
Demi-humans like you aren't
allowed to set foot here!

102
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:35,820
Disperse immediately!

103
00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:41,660
DEMIURGE: Greetings, citizens
of the Sacred Kingdom.

104
00:06:41,740 --> 00:06:46,200
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Jaldabaoth.

105
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,210
You mean the Great
Demon, Jaldabaoth?

106
00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:52,750
You know of me.
How flattering.

107
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:56,380
I am indeed the one who
orchestrated the grand feast

108
00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:57,550
in Re-Estize Kingdom

109
00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:59,800
that was met with such
rapturous applause.

110
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:04,260
However, if I must be given
such a grandiose title,

111
00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:08,850
I would prefer to be called
"Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth."

112
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,770
PABEL: I have a feeling
that's not just bravado.

113
00:07:13,770 --> 00:07:15,070
Getting to the point,

114
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:17,860
I've come here to make
your kingdom a living hell!

115
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,990
Wails, maledictions, and cries
of pain will echo without end!

116

It will become a
carnival of suffering.

GENERAL: You think we would
ever allow such a thing?

474
00:27:54,010 --> 00:27:55,010
Tomorrow morning.

475
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:58,560
-Excellent.
-Wait, no! Let's discuss this!

476
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:03,520
What in the world
are you thinking?

477
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,520
The fact that he's undead
aside, he's a king!

478
00:28:06,610 --> 00:28:08,780
You'd have him fight
Jaldabaoth to the death?

479
00:28:08,860 --> 00:28:10,280
What do you suggest?

480
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:12,070
Accepting his
undead army instead?

481
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:14,780
Our people would be terrified
and our land tainted!

482
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:16,370
He's not just a sorcerer,

483
00:28:16,450 --> 00:28:18,080
he's the ruler of
a foreign nation!

484
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,080
What if he gets injured,
or even worse, killed?

485
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,460
Too bad! King or not,
he's a monster, right?

486
00:28:23,540 --> 00:28:25,420
Whether he dies
or the demon dies,

487
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,090
it's hardly any concern to us.

488
00:28:27,710 --> 00:28:28,840
Wouldn't you say?

489
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:34,300
My point is, they're
both enemies of mankind.

490
00:28:34,390 --> 00:28:36,600
To be frank, if they
wipe each other out,

491
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,600
that would be the
best-case scenario.

492
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:44,400
You mean that? Does that
embody the spirit of justice?

493
00:28:44,770 --> 00:28:45,770
Of course!

494
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:47,900
Because it would save the
lives of the innocent.

495
00:28:49,150 --> 00:28:50,980
Squire Neia Baraja!

496
00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:52,110
Yes, ma'am?

497
00:28:52,190 --> 00:28:54,780
You will accompany
the Sorcerer King.

498
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:55,860
Huh?

499
00:28:55,950 --> 00:28:57,280
Stay by his side at all times

500
00:28:57,370 --> 00:29:00,080
and convince him to be
useful to us any way you can.

501
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,000
But don't provide too
much intel about our home.

502
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,540
Sweet talk him and make
sure he stays happy.

503
00:29:05,620 --> 00:29:07,140
Then we'll milk him
for all he's worth.

504
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:08,710

NEIA: <i>What should I do?</i>

506
00:29:28,690 --> 00:29:30,610
<i>I've never been</i> <i>the
attendant of a king,</i>

507
00:29:30,690 --> 00:29:32,440
<i>let alone an undead one.</i>

508
00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:35,320
<i>Perhaps I should</i> <i>start
up a conversation?</i>

509
00:29:35,860 --> 00:29:38,490

afraid he might kill me!</i>

510
00:29:42,290 --> 00:29:45,290
Is something on my face? You
seem to be glaring at it.

511
00:29:45,370 --> 00:29:48,750
Huh? No, please excuse my
rudeness, Your Majesty!

512
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:50,170
No offense taken,

513
00:29:50,250 --> 00:29:52,630
but are you uncomfortable
riding with an undead?

514
00:29:53,090 --> 00:29:54,550
Not at all, Your Majesty!

515
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:56,590
By the way, I, uh...
I wasn't glaring,

516
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,930
I inherited these fierce
eyes from my father!

517
00:29:59,470 --> 00:30:02,060
They are striking. Hmm...

518
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:05,520
I do wish there was something
we could talk about.

519
00:30:06,350 --> 00:30:08,980
Ah! I know your
visit was short,

520
00:30:09,060 --> 00:30:10,770
but what did you
think of my country?

521
00:30:11,270 --> 00:30:12,770
It may have felt
small in the eyes

522
00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:14,690
of someone from
the Sacred Kingdom.

523
00:30:15,150 --> 00:30:16,780
It seemed like a
wonderful place.

524
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:18,110
Peaceful and happy.

525
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,740
And it was the first
time I've ever seen

526
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:22,120
so many different
races living together.

527
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,490
Good. That's good.

528
00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:26,460
NEIA: Also, the statues of
you were very impressive.

529
00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:28,420
They certainly are big!

530
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,880
Uh, yes, that they are.

531
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,590
My subordinates insisted
upon making them.

532
00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:34,840
On top of that,

533
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,170
they're planning to build
more of them, elsewhere.

534
00:30:38,340 --> 00:30:39,550
That's so nice!

535
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,220
Then, people outside
of the capital

536
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,140
can witness your
greatness too, right?

537
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,140
Ah, I see.

538
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,680
That's what my
subordinates think, too.

539
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,400
But I'm not certain
that I agree.

540
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,270
I think it might be
a bit short-sighted.

541
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:54,400
What do you mean by that?

542
00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:56,320
(CLEARS THROAT)

543
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:00,030
The true greatness of a king
cannot be shown in monuments,

544
00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:02,160
it must be shown
through their actions.

545
00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:07,040
I want to be known for
the peace and prosperity

546
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,910
created under my rule.

547
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
That is what I
want people to see.

548
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,210
How wise. You truly
are a fine king.

549
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:17,880
By the way, how long
will it take for us

550
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,880
to reach the Sacred
Kingdom by carriage?

551
00:31:19,970 --> 00:31:21,550
NEIA: About ten days, I think.

552
00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:24,970
AINS: A while,
then. In that case,

553
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:27,810
I would like to learn more
about you, Miss Baraja.

554
00:31:27,890 --> 00:31:29,640
Perhaps you could
begin by telling me

555
00:31:29,730 --> 00:31:31,770
why you decided to
become a paladin?

556
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:34,360
NEIA: Uh, I would be
honored to tell you!

557
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,070
Though you may find it boring.

558
00:31:45,580 --> 00:31:47,660
GUSTAV: Do accept my
most humble apologies,

559
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:49,000
Your Majesty.

560
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,710
I know this is
hardly a proper place

561
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:52,620
to welcome someone such as you,

562
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:54,087
but please join us
in the meeting room

563
00:31:54,170 --> 00:31:56,090
so that we may
discuss our plans.

564
00:31:56,550 --> 00:31:57,800
Of course.

565
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:03,890
REMEDIOS: Since our
situation has changed,

566
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:06,260
let's determine what our new
course of action should be.

567
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,720
Before that, since I've
agreed to help you,

568
00:32:08,810 --> 00:32:10,560
I think I should
know the full details

569
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,350
of what's happening
in your kingdom.

570
00:32:15,860 --> 00:32:17,730
Seeing as we're
meeting in a cave,

571
00:32:17,820 --> 00:32:20,610
things must be quite
dire for your army.

572
00:32:21,570 --> 00:32:23,030
It's clear that
your north and south

573
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:24,700
are separated geographically,

574
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:27,950
but I'm aware that a political
divide exists as well.

575
00:32:28,030 --> 00:32:30,370
Am I correct to assume that
you will receive no aid

576
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:31,830
from the Southern Territory?

577
00:32:32,290 --> 00:32:34,670
Also, Princess
Calca's absence today

578
00:32:34,750 --> 00:32:36,790
can only mean one thing, I fear.

579
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:41,300
I can't believe you deduced
so much at a mere glance.

580
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:42,380
Well, then?

581
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,550
Sacred Princess Calca
is missing, it's true.

582
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,560
Our High Priestess
Kelart, as well.

583
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,850
They faced Jaldabaoth,
but we were separated

584
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:53,890
when the battle took
a turn for the worse.

585
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:57,940
However, they use
high-tier priestly magic.

586
00:32:58,020 --> 00:33:00,030
So those two are
far from helpless!

587
00:33:00,110 --> 00:33:02,280
Although there's a good
chance they've been captured,

588
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,240
I have faith that
they're still alive.

589
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:07,570
Searching for them
is a major priority.

590
00:33:07,660 --> 00:33:09,830
As is the liberation
of our cities.

591
00:33:09,910 --> 00:33:11,830
Our hope is to free
our captured citizens

592
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:13,790
and bolster our
dwindling supplies.

593
00:33:14,250 --> 00:33:17,540
Not far from here, there is
a small city named Loyts.

594
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:19,380
We've obtained
information that people

595
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:21,760
of the royal family may
be imprisoned there.

596
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:24,170
If that news is true,

597
00:33:24,260 --> 00:33:26,430
we need to rescue
them right away.

598
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,390
This should be a simple task
with a powerful magic caster

599
00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:33,850
like Your Majesty on our side.
If you... or we, attack now,

600
00:33:33,930 --> 00:33:35,810
we'll make short
order of the enemy.

601
00:33:35,890 --> 00:33:38,150
You're worth 10,000
troops on your own!

602
00:33:38,610 --> 00:33:40,730
I cannot meet your expectations.

603
00:33:41,650 --> 00:33:43,150
You mean you won't fight?

604
00:33:43,490 --> 00:33:46,820
Correct. Or that is to say,
I will only fight Jaldabaoth.

605
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,410
That is the only reason
I have come after all.

606
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:52,790
He will be a formidable foe,
so I must conserve my magic

607
00:33:52,870 --> 00:33:54,160
if I hope to defeat him.

608
00:33:54,540 --> 00:33:56,210
Oh, I see.

609
00:33:56,290 --> 00:33:58,630
This is the Sacred
Kingdom's war to wage.

610
00:33:58,710 --> 00:34:00,540
I won't interfere
with your affairs,

611
00:34:00,630 --> 00:34:02,250
but I won't follow
your orders, either.

612
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:07,050
If you want me to stand at the
forefront of this operation,

613
00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:08,380
then I must lead.

614
00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:10,260
In which case, you
and your forces

615
00:34:10,350 --> 00:34:12,180
would be placed
under my command.

616
00:34:12,930 --> 00:34:14,930
Once that happened,
I could negotiate

617
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,850
with the nobles of
the Southern Territory

618
00:34:16,940 --> 00:34:19,520
and use the best possible
means to save this kingdom.

619
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:20,940
As far as we know,

620
00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:22,980
the Sacred Princess
is still our ruler.

621
00:34:23,070 --> 00:34:25,780
Regardless of the
situation, we cannot fall

622
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:27,820
under the command
of another kingdom.

(AINS GRUNTS SOFTLY)

625
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:46,380
Miss Baraja, your steps
are unusually quiet,

626
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:49,050
especially for someone
training to be a paladin.

627
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:52,470
My apologies. My
father was a ranger,

628
00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:54,350
so he taught me how
to use silent footwork

629

when I was just a child.

630
00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:58,060
If I recall correctly,
you did mention

631
00:34:58,140 --> 00:34:59,690
that he was skilled with a bow.

632
00:34:59,770 --> 00:35:02,150
Did he impart that
knowledge to you as well?

bit of experience.

But that doesn't serve me,

635
00:35:06,030 --> 00:35:09,660
since paladins only fight with
swords. Those are the rules.

you, Your Majesty.

643
00:35:29,010 --> 00:35:30,720
How about I lend you this?

00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,470
As I'm likely to cause you
trouble during this endeavor,

645
00:35:33,550 --> 00:35:36,140
you may consider it a
token of my gratitude.

646
00:35:36,220 --> 00:35:39,060
I can't accept such
a fine gift from you!

647
00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:41,650
And you don't owe a thing
to a commoner like me!

Whether it was an order or not,

you're taking care of me.
What station you have in life

650

does not affect my
appreciation of that.

00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,660
with such an elaborate name.

655
00:36:00,370 --> 00:36:02,750
Sounds like a weapon that
would appear in ancient myths.

far off the mark.

I may be of humble skill,

did any of the paladins
happen to take notice of it?

Or wished they had swords
engraved with runes?

687

No, nothing of the
sort! That is to say,

688
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,740
they took interest
in it, of course,

it wasn't something

you think I would use

course of action.

they will continue

will cause further harm.

00:51:05,820 --> 00:51:08,700
He is known as the Sorcerer
King, Ains Ooal Gown.

946
00:51:09,740 --> 00:51:10,990
Oh.

947
00:51:12,370 --> 00:51:14,370
It is truly a
pleasure to meet you.

948
00:51:14,450 --> 00:51:16,120
Welcome, Sorcerer King.

949
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,080
AINS: It's a pleasure to meet
you as well, Prince Caspond.

950
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,750
I'm glad you're safe.

951
00:51:20,830 --> 00:51:23,460
I apologize for meeting you
in such a terrible state.

952
00:51:23,540 --> 00:51:26,670
A noble's elegance isn't
a matter of appearance.

953
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,140
CASPOND: Thanks to
your generous aid,

954
00:51:33,220 --> 00:51:35,220
I was set free
from those demons.

955
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,770
I would like to sincerely
thank you for the charity

956
00:51:38,850 --> 00:51:40,770
that you have shown
to me and my people.

957
00:51:46,030 --> 00:51:48,820
I trust that the Sorcerer
King is gone for the night?

958
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:50,820
Yes, we have prepared
a room for him.

959
00:51:50,910 --> 00:51:52,620
He doesn't know
that we're meeting.

960
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:55,620
Good, then. Let us
discuss our future.

961
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,330
First of all, the
Sacred Princess.

962
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,920
I hear that my little sister
Calca is currently missing.

963
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,750
Have the Demi-humans taken her?

964
00:52:06,550 --> 00:52:08,550
We have suggested
such a possibility

965
00:52:08,630 --> 00:52:11,720
to the Sorcerer King, but
she is most likely dead.

966
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,840
We have seen no
evidence of that yet!

967
00:52:13,930 --> 00:52:15,300
Even if that's the case,

968
00:52:15,390 --> 00:52:16,760
we should be able
to resurrect her

969
00:52:16,850 --> 00:52:18,520
as long as we can find her body!

970
00:52:19,350 --> 00:52:21,520
My sister Kelart is
alive out there somewhere

971
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:22,810
and I know she could do it!

972
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:24,810
We should continue
searching for her as well!

973
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:27,480
I agree that recovering
Calca should be a priority.

974
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,780
So, to that end, I will
make this city our base.

975
00:52:31,860 --> 00:52:34,820
From here, we'll wage war
against Jaldabaoth's army.

976
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,160
That's far too reckless!
We may have high walls,

977
00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:40,580
but if the enemy surrounds us,

978
00:52:40,660 --> 00:52:42,540
it'll be over when
we run out of food.

979
00:52:42,620 --> 00:52:44,960
You don't plan to go to
the Southern Territory?

980
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,170
I'll send a messenger instead.

981
00:52:47,250 --> 00:52:49,880
In truth, those nobles
won't help us much.

982
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,670
They all want the Sacred Seat.

983
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,050
Which means they're hoping
for news of my sister's death.

984
00:52:55,140 --> 00:52:56,800
Regardless of our circumstances,

985
00:52:56,890 --> 00:52:58,640
I cannot beg people
like that for help.

986
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,980
And as for the Sorcerer King,
he's here to fight Jaldabaoth.

987
00:53:04,060 --> 00:53:06,060
Once he acquires
his demon maids,

988
00:53:06,150 --> 00:53:08,150
he will leave the
kingdom, correct?

989
00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:10,740
But that would create
a problem for us.

990
00:53:10,820 --> 00:53:13,030
Even if their leader is
killed, there are plenty

991
00:53:13,110 --> 00:53:15,570
of Demi-humans we need
His Majesty to cull.

992
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:16,660
I know, sir,

993
00:53:16,740 --> 00:53:19,160
but that's not the arrangement
we agreed upon, unfortunately.

994
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,330
It would be easy for him
to thin their numbers

995
00:53:21,410 --> 00:53:23,830
with his magic. And the
more Demi-humans he kills,

996
00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:26,080
the less our innocent
citizens die.

997
00:53:26,750 --> 00:53:28,840
Tell me, which you
would rather choose.

998
00:53:29,290 --> 00:53:31,510
An agreement that you
made with an undead,

999
00:53:31,590 --> 00:53:33,670
or the lives of our
kingdom's people?

1000
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,390
The lives of our
citizens, obviously!

1001
00:53:37,010 --> 00:53:39,720
(LAUGHS) I'm so happy
you see it my way!

1002
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,020
We know what he's capable of,

1003
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:46,020
so let's see if we can put
the Sorcerer King to work!

1004
00:53:52,780 --> 00:53:54,700
(SOLDIERS GASP)

1005
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:56,320
(ALARM BELL DINGING)

1006
00:53:56,410 --> 00:53:57,740
(SOLDIER SHOUTING)
Enemy attack!

1007
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,160
Enemy attack!

1008
00:54:11,050 --> 00:54:12,760
Quite the force they've brought.

1009
00:54:14,380 --> 00:54:16,090
REMEDIOS: We have
about 10,000 soldiers.

1010
00:54:16,180 --> 00:54:18,470
The enemy must have
four times that.

1011
00:54:18,550 --> 00:54:20,720
Our only hope for
victory will be surviving

1012
00:54:20,810 --> 00:54:22,390
'til assistance
comes from the south.

1013
00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:24,270
Unless we can make
the enemy retreat.

1014
00:54:24,850 --> 00:54:26,980
Grandmaster. So, this
is where you've been.

1015
00:54:28,270 --> 00:54:30,730
Oh, it's you. Excellent
timing, Gustav.

1016
00:54:30,820 --> 00:54:32,440
I'd like to get your
take on this, too.

1017
00:54:32,980 --> 00:54:35,780
I'd love to discuss my ideas,
assuming I could come up

1018
00:54:35,860 --> 00:54:38,410
with any, but there's
a small complication

1019
00:54:38,490 --> 00:54:40,570
-we need to deal with first.
-What is it?

1020
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,740
The citizens are troubled.

1021
00:54:42,830 --> 00:54:44,490
They're worried about
the upcoming battle

1022
00:54:44,580 --> 00:54:46,580
and they keep asking
if the Sorcerer King

1023
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:47,920
will be lending his aid.

1024
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,370
You know what he told us.

1025
00:54:49,460 --> 00:54:51,210
If he doesn't conserve
his magic power,

1026
00:54:51,290 --> 00:54:54,380
he won't be able to defeat
Jaldabaoth. That's the deal.

1027
00:54:55,010 --> 00:54:57,550
So, until the demon lord shows
up, he won't lift a finger.

1028
00:54:57,630 --> 00:54:59,680
The issue is that
many people saw him

1029
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,470
when he recaptured the city.
They know he has abilities

1030
00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:04,100
that far exceed the paladins,

1031
00:55:04,180 --> 00:55:06,310
so they're looking to
him for protection.

1032
00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:08,060
If the citizens find
out that their hero

1033
00:55:08,140 --> 00:55:09,310
won't be standing with us,

1034
00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:11,190
I fear that their
morale will plummet!

1035
00:55:11,270 --> 00:55:13,860
He's their "hero"? You're
talking about an undead!

1036
00:55:13,940 --> 00:55:15,320
That doesn't matter to them!

1037
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,450
And besides, better they
think of him as a hero,

1038
00:55:18,530 --> 00:55:21,450
than a ruler. What if they
want... him as Sacred King?

1039
00:55:21,530 --> 00:55:24,160
We still have a
Sacred Princess, okay?

1040
00:55:24,830 --> 00:55:26,000
She can't be dead!

1041
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,917
The enemy must be holding
her hostage somewhere

1042
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,000
to keep an upper hand.

1043
00:55:29,620 --> 00:55:33,090
Yes, my apologies. But
it is a real concern.

1044
00:55:33,170 --> 00:55:35,840
I fear the seat of the Sacred
Princess may be at risk.

1045
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,170
Princess Calca is
a beloved ruler!

1046
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:39,970
Do you think his
concerns are valid?

1047
00:55:40,050 --> 00:55:42,890
Well, since we're paladins,
of course we don't consider

1048
00:55:42,970 --> 00:55:44,810
the Sorcerer King to be a hero.

1049
00:55:44,890 --> 00:55:48,140
But I do get the impression
around town that the citizens

1050
00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:49,770
are starting to think
of him that way.

1051
00:55:49,850 --> 00:55:53,360
He exhibited so much power.
I can hardly blame them.

1052
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,230
Just what are you saying? Do
you think it was a mistake

1053
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,280
to bring the Sorcerer
King here, Gustav?

1054
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,070
No, I wouldn't say that.

1055
00:56:00,150 --> 00:56:02,950
It was the best decision you
could have made at the time.

1056
00:56:03,780 --> 00:56:06,290
All right, then what
would you do now?

1057
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,750
Although the odds
are not in our favor,

1058
00:56:09,830 --> 00:56:12,250
we must drive off
the enemy on our own.

1059
00:56:12,330 --> 00:56:14,580
If we don't, the
fighting may not end,

1060
00:56:14,670 --> 00:56:16,210
even if Jaldabaoth dies.

1061
00:56:16,750 --> 00:56:19,260
We must protect our own Kingdom.

1062
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:27,470
Still we wait?

1063
00:56:28,810 --> 00:56:31,140
We've been sitting
here for three days!

1064
00:56:32,980 --> 00:56:35,400
I heard that city was
held by Grand King Buser.

1065
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:36,860
Is that the issue?

1066
00:56:36,940 --> 00:56:39,730
Are you afraid of the
enemy who killed him?

1067
00:56:39,820 --> 00:56:41,990
They must be quite
formidable indeed.

1068
00:56:42,070 --> 00:56:45,320
Sir Vijar, no need for
you to get so worked up!

1069
00:56:45,410 --> 00:56:46,870
You're such a child!

1070
00:56:46,950 --> 00:56:49,540
Why not learn a bit of
patience before you mouth off?

1071
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:52,250
If we wait much longer,
you'll die of old age!

1072
00:56:52,620 --> 00:56:54,620
-Oh.
-(LAUGHS)

1073
00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:56,500
That's enough from
the both of you.

1074
00:56:58,420 --> 00:57:00,590
We can't have any
dissent in our ranks.

1075
00:57:00,670 --> 00:57:02,130
I would have to
report the matter

1076
00:57:02,220 --> 00:57:04,010
to Lord Jaldabaoth if we did.

1077
00:57:05,260 --> 00:57:07,930
As for the reason why
we haven't attacked yet,

1078
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,680
Lord Jaldabaoth ordered us to
move our forces into place,

1079
00:57:11,770 --> 00:57:12,940
but to pause a few days,

1080
00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:14,770
so that the humans
could watch us.

1081
00:57:15,310 --> 00:57:17,860
He wanted their fear
to fester and grow.

1082
00:57:17,940 --> 00:57:20,860
I can't complain.
That's quite clever.

1083
00:57:20,940 --> 00:57:23,030
Now, keep in mind,
he didn't designate

1084
00:57:23,110 --> 00:57:24,740
an exact amount of time.

1085
00:57:24,820 --> 00:57:26,990
So, I say we attack
the day after tomorrow.

1086
00:57:27,780 --> 00:57:29,620
There was one additional order.

1087
00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:31,370
He said it's very important.

1088
00:57:31,450 --> 00:57:33,500
We need to leave
a few humans alive

1089
00:57:33,580 --> 00:57:35,500
and allow them to
escape from the city.

1090
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,040
Very well. And that means

1091
00:57:38,130 --> 00:57:40,460
we can massacre the
rest of them, yes?

1092
00:57:40,550 --> 00:57:42,340
NAGA DEMI-HUMAN:
If you so please.

1093
00:57:42,420 --> 00:57:46,550
Now, spend the next two days
replenishing your strength.

1094
00:57:54,430 --> 00:57:55,690
(KNOCK ON DOOR)

1095
00:57:57,730 --> 00:57:59,860
Squire Neia Baraja here.

1096
00:57:59,940 --> 00:58:01,190
AINS: You may enter.

1097
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,950
Your Majesty, I've been informed

1098
00:58:09,030 --> 00:58:10,530
I'm to be deployed
to the front lines

1099
00:58:10,620 --> 00:58:12,580
as a member of the
Sacred Paladin Order.

1100
00:58:12,660 --> 00:58:13,790
AINS: Hmm.

1101
00:58:14,830 --> 00:58:16,710
Therefore, I will be
unable to continue

1102
00:58:16,790 --> 00:58:18,250
my duty as your attendant.

1103
00:58:18,330 --> 00:58:20,790
I wanted to offer an
apology before I set off.

1104
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,590
I have used my magic
several times already.

1105
00:58:24,670 --> 00:58:25,970
Jaldabaoth may be aiming

1106
00:58:26,050 --> 00:58:28,050
to whittle it away
with his forces.

1107
00:58:28,140 --> 00:58:29,970
If he does not appear
in this battle,

1108
00:58:30,050 --> 00:58:32,510
do not expect me to
come to your aid.

1109
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,060
Yes, I understand.

1110
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,150
Even so, it is my duty
as part of this kingdom

1111
00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:41,520
to protect as many innocent
people as I possibly can.

1112
00:58:41,610 --> 00:58:43,820
Those in pain, and
those who cannot

1113
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,070
protect themselves
must be cared for.

1114
00:58:48,740 --> 00:58:49,740
(GASPS)

1115
00:58:50,620 --> 00:58:52,660
I like that look in your eyes.

1116
00:58:55,410 --> 00:58:59,460
And so, Squire Baraja, I
will lend you a few items.

1117
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,300
What? No, wait!

1118
00:59:04,710 --> 00:59:06,510
You've already lent me this bow!

1119
00:59:06,590 --> 00:59:08,470
I wondered if it was
even appropriate for me

1120
00:59:08,550 --> 00:59:10,050
to use it in this battle.

1121
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:12,300
I only accepted it so I
could better serve you.

1122
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,560
This is the armor of
the Demi-human king

1123
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,180
I defeated a few days ago.

1124
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,600
I'm certain it
will keep you safe.

1125
00:59:18,980 --> 00:59:21,900
Uh, and this is known
as a Visor Mirror Shade.

1126
00:59:21,980 --> 00:59:23,480
It helps to keep
your vision clear,

1127
00:59:23,570 --> 00:59:25,320
-but it's also helpful...
-Your Majesty!

1128
00:59:25,940 --> 00:59:27,530
I appreciate it,

1129
00:59:27,610 --> 00:59:29,860
but I can't possibly
borrow all these.

1130
00:59:30,780 --> 00:59:32,030
And why not?

1131
00:59:34,950 --> 00:59:37,370
How about a promise in exchange?

1132
00:59:37,450 --> 00:59:39,250
When they're no longer needed,

1133
00:59:39,330 --> 00:59:41,750
you must come and
return them to me.

I hope I... I mean,

1137
00:59:55,260 --> 00:59:58,640
I'll definitely survive and
return these! (WHIMPERS)

SOLDIER: It's over.

1141
01:00:13,030 --> 01:00:14,990
There's no way we
can win against that!

1142
01:00:15,910 --> 01:00:17,080
If the Sorcerer King came

1143
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,250
and thinned their
numbers, maybe we could.

1144
01:00:19,330 --> 01:00:21,920
His Majesty isn't coming.
He will not be taking part

1145
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,630
-in this battle.
-SOLDIER: Huh?

1146
01:00:23,710 --> 01:00:26,250
Wait, aren't you the
Sorcerer King's attendant?

1147
01:00:26,340 --> 01:00:28,420
Or, I mean, you were, at least.

1148
01:00:28,510 --> 01:00:30,510
NEIA: Uh, yes. That's me.

1149
01:00:30,590 --> 01:00:32,930
SOLDIER: Then, do you
know why he won't help us?

1150
01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:35,550
His Majesty needs to
conserve his magic power

1151
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,220
for the fight
against Jaldabaoth.

1152
01:00:37,310 --> 01:00:40,680
He's the only one who can
kill that demon. That's all.

1153
01:00:40,770 --> 01:00:42,810
So, we must make do
on our own today.

1154
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:45,360
We're outnumbered!

1155
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,270
They'll tear right through us!

1156
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:48,820
Are you ordering us to die?

1157
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:53,780
NEIA: What do you mean?

1158
01:00:53,860 --> 01:00:56,200
This is our kingdom to protect.

1159
01:00:58,410 --> 01:01:02,000
In the end, this is on our
shoulders. It's our duty.

1160
01:01:02,410 --> 01:01:05,460
And the Sorcerer King? He's
not even from this place!

1161
01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:06,880
He's been generous enough!

1162
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,260
We can't use our weakness
as an excuse to rely on him!

1163
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,180
It's our kingdom and our war.

1164
01:01:14,260 --> 01:01:16,470
It's our people that
we must protect.

So, I'll fight! Because
that is justice!

The Demi-humans are strong.
We're not even knights.

We don't stand a chance!

1168
01:01:30,190 --> 01:01:32,190
But that doesn't change the fact

1169
01:01:32,690 --> 01:01:35,280
that someone has to
protect my wife and child.

01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,440
I'll take your head,
human. After doing so,

1254
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,900
I will inherit the title of
Demon Claw, at long last!

much of a fight.

Why would I want help?

It would seem we're free to do
as we please, Madam Nasrene.

1266
01:08:25,270 --> 01:08:27,400
Perhaps we should break
through that line of shields

1267
01:08:27,480 --> 01:08:28,780
and head further into the city?

Why didn't it work?

1278
01:08:59,020 --> 01:09:00,980
That certainly
looked impressive,

1279
01:09:01,060 --> 01:09:02,810
but it hardly stung at all.

1280
01:09:02,890 --> 01:09:04,310
Was it just to frighten me?

After all that suffering
you put us through,

your greatest attack
without flinching.

I'll kill you quickly.

You have your fun, Sir Vijar.
But we can't all afford

to waste our time on one woman,

1296
01:09:36,390 --> 01:09:37,550
so we're going to continue

but three generals against
one just isn't very sporting.

Who is that? An undead?

What do you think
you're doing here?

1322
01:10:48,170 --> 01:10:50,790
I believe that should
be rather obvious.

1323
01:10:56,130 --> 01:10:58,220
I came to save your lives.

1324

Is that so?

1325
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:01,430
Then, I'll leave this to you.

handle the front line!

Never in my life
have I been treated

1333

with such blatant disrespect.

1334
01:11:20,530 --> 01:11:22,740
I thought it would be useful
to have the Grandmaster

1335

of the Paladins owe me a
favor, but she's so rude!

She doesn't
appreciate me at all!

Why would an undead come
to the rescue of humans?

1338
01:11:31,130 --> 01:11:33,880
Are you being controlled
by a necromancer, perhaps?

in very high regard, does she?

Your Majesty, I'm
worried about you.

What about fighting Jaldabaoth?

What if he attacks and your

I will face that

In this case, I had no
choice. I had to save you.

I'm afraid you might
be a bit delirious.

1402

Justice takes
strength and courage.

1403
01:15:51,550 --> 01:15:54,140
Because if you're too
weak, you can't uphold it.

Even though we're
not your subjects,

you came here and

This is a victory for the

Don't you think?

1431
01:17:38,530 --> 01:17:41,870
It is a victory, but I would
not call it ours to claim.

1432
01:17:42,500 --> 01:17:44,580
The Sorcerer King
claimed the glory today,

1433
01:17:44,670 --> 01:17:46,080
and he did it alone.

REMEDIOS: You're wrong!

1435

All of us fought hard
to save this city.

1436
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:52,720
Some lost their lives.

1437
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,130
That they did, and you were
there on the front line.

1438
01:17:55,220 --> 01:17:56,720
You saw it firsthand.

1439
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:00,970
Our paladins, and our citizens
fought and died for this land.

1440
01:18:01,060 --> 01:18:03,350
No victory would be
possible without them.

1441
01:18:03,430 --> 01:18:05,230
That much I can accept.

1442
01:18:05,310 --> 01:18:08,650
But frankly, despite their
efforts, we would have lost

1443
01:18:08,730 --> 01:18:11,280
without the Sorcerer
King's aid. Am I wrong?

1444
01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:14,320
Let me remind you,

1445
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,530
he only joined us in
the middle of the fight!

1446

Think about all the brave
people who died before then!

Our citizens, our
paladins, our priests.

He was showing off just
to get people on his side!

1452
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,670
This war's nothing but
a game to him, I swear!

1453

Wait, that's it.

1454
01:18:38,590 --> 01:18:41,760
Jaldabaoth and the Sorcerer
King must be working together.

He's the only one

who really benefited
from this fight!

1457

It all makes sense now!
He weakens our kingdom,

1458
01:18:49,100 --> 01:18:50,900
but still plays the
hero. Then, in the end,

1459
01:18:50,980 --> 01:18:52,570
he'll conquer us,
I'm sure of it!

just to clarify,

1559
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:06,920
after the battle is won,

1560
01:24:07,010 --> 01:24:09,840
you're going to summon your
demon to attack the city?

1561
01:24:09,930 --> 01:24:11,720
DEMIURGE: That is
correct, my lord.

1562
01:24:12,390 --> 01:24:15,180
In that case, I
have two requests.

1563
01:24:15,260 --> 01:24:18,100
First, I'd like some support
on a personal project

1564
01:24:18,180 --> 01:24:21,190
that hasn't been going
well, nothing too fancy.

1565
01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:22,560
And secondly,

1566
01:24:23,230 --> 01:24:25,690
<i>I cannot let</i> <i>my combat
skills grow dull,</i>

1567
01:24:25,770 --> 01:24:27,650
<i>so I want you to order</i>
<i>your summoned demon</i>

1568
01:24:27,740 --> 01:24:29,320
<i>to fight me seriously.</i>

1569
01:24:29,780 --> 01:24:31,200
DEMIURGE: <i>But, my lord...</i>

1570
01:24:32,820 --> 01:24:34,910
ALBEDO: <i>We understand.</i>
DEMIURGE: <i>Albedo!</i>

1571
01:24:34,990 --> 01:24:36,660
ALBEDO: <i>However, </i> <i>the
Evil Lord of Wrath</i>

1572
01:24:36,740 --> 01:24:38,450

be</i> <i>enough to satisfy</i>

1573
01:24:38,540 --> 01:24:39,960
<i>someone of your prowess.</i>

1574
01:24:40,540 --> 01:24:42,370
<i>Why don't we have</i>
<i>the demon maids join</i>

1575
01:24:42,460 --> 01:24:44,540
<i>-the battle as well?</i>
-Maximize Magic, Reality...

1577
01:24:48,210 --> 01:24:50,880
<i>I fear I may accidentally</i>
<i>kill the Pleiades.</i>

1578
01:24:52,430 --> 01:24:54,097
ALBEDO: <i>Then, we'll use</i>
<i>Greater Doppelgängers</i>

1579
01:24:54,180 --> 01:24:55,600
<i>to fight you in their stead.</i>

1580
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,810

<i>No, I said it myself,

01:25:26,420 --> 01:25:28,340

strong</i> <i>as a demon lord,</i>

1585
01:25:28,420 --> 01:25:29,630

1586
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,470
<i>But His Majesty is different.</i>

1587

The Sorcerer King
is dead, by my hand!

And I owe it all to
you selfish humans!

(ALL GASP)

1599
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,410
If the Sorcerer King
had been in proper form,

1600
01:26:39,490 --> 01:26:41,870
this victory surely
would have eluded me.

1601
01:26:42,540 --> 01:26:45,460
But he used his magic
power to help you worms

1602
01:26:45,540 --> 01:26:47,370
again and again!

1603
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:49,580
He was a fool of a king,

1604
01:26:49,670 --> 01:26:52,630
undone by his own misguided
sense of kindness!

1605
01:26:54,170 --> 01:26:57,800
But, as you can see, he has
dealt me terrible blows,

1606
01:26:57,890 --> 01:26:59,970
so I must depart and rest.

1607
01:27:00,050 --> 01:27:02,180
I will spare your lives for now,

1608
01:27:02,260 --> 01:27:05,600
but I will return in
time to strike you down.

1609
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,230
Until then, let your
despair grow thick.

1610

I don't believe you! You're
nothing but a damn liar!

1611
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,530
You think I'd trust the
words of a demon? Huh?

1612
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:26,450
Oh! Girl, that bow of yours
is truly a fine weapon!

1613
01:27:28,540 --> 01:27:31,920
It has been ages since
I've seen such workmanship!

1614
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,420
Why, you could have
finished me off!

1615
01:27:34,500 --> 01:27:36,300
A true demon-slayer, that.

1616
01:27:36,380 --> 01:27:39,430
Tell me more of this bow!
What is it made from?

1617
01:27:39,510 --> 01:27:42,260
-Go to hell!
-Hold on!

1618

Could it have been made
with rune technology,

thought to have been long-lost?

<i>go search for him myself!</i>

If justice takes strength,
then weakness must be evil.

MAN: Squire Neia Baraja!

1638
01:29:08,310 --> 01:29:10,390
Prince Caspond has
requested your presence.

1639
01:29:10,480 --> 01:29:14,150
All right. I'll see him now.
We can practice later, sorry.

1640
01:29:14,230 --> 01:29:15,520
No problem. I don't think

1641
01:29:15,610 --> 01:29:16,980
we'll be catching
up with you yet,

1642
01:29:17,070 --> 01:29:18,860
but I do appreciate the lessons.

1643
01:29:18,940 --> 01:29:20,320
We have to practice while we can

1644
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,150
for when the Demi-humans
come back, right?

1645
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,740
That's right! We'll
continue our training

1646
01:29:24,820 --> 01:29:26,620
and grow stronger
every single day!

1647
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,490
Weakness is a sin,
so never give up!

1648
01:29:30,830 --> 01:29:33,580
PRINCE CASPOND: In regards
to the Sorcerer King, well...

1649
01:29:33,670 --> 01:29:35,960
You've decided to send a
search and rescue team?

1650
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,090
As I've told you many times
before, that's not possible.

1651
01:29:39,170 --> 01:29:40,920
We think the Sorcerer
King must have landed

1652
01:29:41,010 --> 01:29:43,130
in the Abelion
Hills when he fell.

1653
01:29:43,220 --> 01:29:45,510
It's full of Demi-humans.
Completely unsafe.

1654
01:29:46,220 --> 01:29:48,680
Unless we prepared a sizable
force, we would just be

1655
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:50,970
sending soldiers there
to die senseless deaths.

1656
01:29:51,060 --> 01:29:52,940
That aside, we should at least

1657
01:29:53,020 --> 01:29:54,810
search near the city
in case he fell there!

1658
01:29:54,900 --> 01:29:56,100
There's no point.

1659
01:29:56,900 --> 01:30:00,440
You saw it yourself. No one
can survive a fall like that.

1660
01:30:00,530 --> 01:30:02,690
The Sorcerer King's
dead and gone!

1661
01:30:02,780 --> 01:30:04,320
His Majesty is still alive!

1662
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:05,530
Squire, stop!

1663
01:30:05,610 --> 01:30:08,450
You're the only one holding
onto this ridiculous idea!

1664
01:30:09,370 --> 01:30:12,080
If you two are done, I still
have something else to say.

1665
01:30:13,210 --> 01:30:16,500
But before I start, we have
a rather unusual new ally

1666
01:30:16,580 --> 01:30:18,250
that I need to introduce to you.

1667
01:30:18,710 --> 01:30:21,340
I'll call her in now.
Do not be alarmed.

1668
01:30:25,340 --> 01:30:27,260
This is Emissary Beebeebee.

1669
01:30:28,970 --> 01:30:29,970
A Zern?

1670
01:30:30,060 --> 01:30:32,390
Yes. That's
correct. Her people

1671
01:30:32,470 --> 01:30:34,980
are currently trying to
rebel against Jaldabaoth.

1672
01:30:35,810 --> 01:30:37,560
They've only been
following his orders

1673
01:30:37,650 --> 01:30:39,110
because a member of
their royal family

1674
01:30:39,190 --> 01:30:40,480
has been taken hostage.

1675
01:30:40,570 --> 01:30:42,780
We cooperated to ensure
our king's safety,

1676
01:30:42,860 --> 01:30:45,820
but when we left the hills,
the demons killed him anyway.

1677
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:48,620
Which means the prince is
our only remaining male.

1678
01:30:48,700 --> 01:30:50,830
He's currently locked
away in a tower in a city

1679
01:30:50,910 --> 01:30:52,790
about five days
southwest of here.

1680
01:30:53,250 --> 01:30:54,580
PRINCE CASPOND: They
want us to aid them

1681
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:56,000
in a rescue operation.

1682
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,420
The Zern prince is
being held in Kalinsha.

1683
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:01,040
It is an essential city
in our Northern Territory.

1684
01:31:01,590 --> 01:31:03,340
So, we'll form a small alliance,

1685
01:31:03,420 --> 01:31:04,800
rescue the Zern prince,

1686
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:06,880
then liberate Kalinsha together.

1687
01:31:06,970 --> 01:31:09,050
If you grant us
your cooperation,

1688
01:31:09,140 --> 01:31:12,430
we have 3,000 soldiers who can
help you take back the city.

1689
01:31:12,850 --> 01:31:14,770
And after that, we should
be able to send out

1690
01:31:14,850 --> 01:31:17,230
a rescue unit to search
for the Sorcerer King.

1691
01:31:17,690 --> 01:31:20,480
It's too dangerous to search
the Abelion Hills on our own,

1692
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,690
but we can do it with
the help of the Zerns.

1693
01:31:23,110 --> 01:31:26,490
What I'm getting at, squire,
is that I want you on the job.

1694
01:31:26,570 --> 01:31:28,910
Infiltrate the city
and rescue the prince.

1695
01:31:41,130 --> 01:31:44,840
NEIA: <i>So, who will be</i>
<i>joining me on this mission?</i>

1696
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,510
PRINCE CASPOND: <i>Well,
</i>t<i>hat is another surprise.</i>

1697
01:31:51,300 --> 01:31:53,810
<i>After the Sorcerer King</i>
<i>fought with Jaldabaoth,</i>

1698
01:31:53,890 --> 01:31:55,970
<i>one of the demon
maids</i> <i>came to the city</i>

1699
01:31:56,060 --> 01:31:57,270
<i>and surrendered to us.</i>

1700
01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,060
NEIA: <i>But why?</i>

1701
01:32:01,480 --> 01:32:03,190
PRINCE CASPOND: <i>Although
the Sorcerer King</i>

1702
01:32:03,270 --> 01:32:04,987
<i>did not triumph in battle,
</i>i<i>t seems that he was able</i>

1703
01:32:05,070 --> 01:32:07,110
<i>to seize control</i> <i>of
one of the maids.</i>

1704
01:32:07,190 --> 01:32:09,240
<i>She is now loyal</i> <i>to him instead.</i>

1705
01:32:37,350 --> 01:32:39,310
Neia Baraja here to see you.

1706
01:32:39,390 --> 01:32:40,980
Could you please show yourself?

1707
01:32:41,060 --> 01:32:43,020
-Hi.
-(GASPS)

1708
01:32:43,110 --> 01:32:45,230
Wow. What a great face.

1709
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,940
So, you're Jaldabaoth's maid?
They're holding you here?

1710
01:32:49,030 --> 01:32:51,400
Uh-huh. Though to
be more accurate,

1711
01:32:51,490 --> 01:32:54,240
I'd say I'm actually
Lord Ains' maid now.

1712
01:32:54,910 --> 01:32:56,830
You mean His Majesty, right?

1713
01:32:56,910 --> 01:32:59,620
Anyway, what do
you want with me?

1714
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,120
We need to talk.

1715
01:33:01,790 --> 01:33:04,460
I was hoping that you could
help me with a mission.

1716
01:33:10,050 --> 01:33:11,300
Here, drink.

1717
01:33:11,380 --> 01:33:12,470
What is that?

1718
01:33:12,550 --> 01:33:13,970
It's a chocolate drink.

1719
01:33:15,470 --> 01:33:18,470
A bit high in calories,
though. Like 2,000.

1720
01:33:19,850 --> 01:33:21,560
But I wouldn't worry about it.

1721
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:24,690
Getting fat from eating
delicious things isn't bad.

1722
01:33:24,770 --> 01:33:26,690
In fact, one of
the Supreme Beings

1723
01:33:26,770 --> 01:33:29,030
even said you could
call it "a life goal".

1724
01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,030
Well, guess I'll give it a try.

1725
01:33:33,780 --> 01:33:35,620
(GASPS) So sweet!

1726
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:37,490
Mmm...

1727
01:33:40,870 --> 01:33:42,370
Want another one?

1728
01:33:43,830 --> 01:33:45,710
May I? It's really delicious.

1729
01:33:54,220 --> 01:33:55,220
Thank you so much.

1730
01:33:55,300 --> 01:33:56,840
Mmm.

1731
01:33:57,550 --> 01:33:58,720
Never mind that!

1732
01:33:58,810 --> 01:34:00,770
I need to ask you some
questions, all right?

1733
01:34:00,850 --> 01:34:01,850
Mmm.

1734
01:34:01,930 --> 01:34:04,270
Well, first, I know
you're a demon maid,

1735
01:34:04,350 --> 01:34:06,060
but no one told me your name.

1736
01:34:06,150 --> 01:34:07,940
Maybe you heard, but I'm Neia.

1737
01:34:08,020 --> 01:34:09,520
I was serving as an attendant

1738
01:34:09,610 --> 01:34:11,360
for His Majesty,
the Sorcerer King.

1739
01:34:11,780 --> 01:34:15,110
I know, yeah. I was warned
about your scary-looking eyes.

1740
01:34:16,410 --> 01:34:19,450
You can call me CZ,
what's the mission?

1741
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:23,790
All right. I understand.

1742
01:34:23,870 --> 01:34:25,920
The two of us will
sneak into the castle

1743
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,040
and save the prince
from that tower.

1744
01:34:28,130 --> 01:34:31,090
When we're done, your
army and the Zerns

1745
01:34:31,170 --> 01:34:32,760
will take back Kalinsha.

1746
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,630
Correct. Also, the
Zerns gave me a warning.

1747
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,140
They said there may be a
great demon at the castle.

1748
01:34:38,220 --> 01:34:40,680
We might run into it on the
way to the prince's room.

1749
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:42,270
Do you know anything about it?

1750
01:34:43,100 --> 01:34:45,440
There are three,
but lucky for us,

1751
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,310
they take turns
watching the cities,

1752
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,520
so there shouldn't be
more than one around.

1753
01:34:50,270 --> 01:34:52,650
That's good, but how
strong are these things?

1754
01:34:53,030 --> 01:34:54,860
Mmm...

1755
01:34:54,940 --> 01:34:55,950
Well, all right,

1756
01:34:56,030 --> 01:34:58,070
then how strong are
they compared to you?

1757
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:01,370
Hard to say. I know they're
weaker than Lord Ains.

1758
01:35:01,450 --> 01:35:03,040
Call him "His Majesty."

1759
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,290
His Majesty the Sorcerer King!

1760
01:35:06,370 --> 01:35:09,040
I think that "Lord Ains"
is a little too casual,

1761
01:35:09,130 --> 01:35:10,257
especially coming from a maid!

1762
01:35:10,340 --> 01:35:11,710
Just what do you mean?

1763
01:35:11,790 --> 01:35:14,130
He told me I should
call him that himself.

1764
01:35:14,210 --> 01:35:16,260
-I think it's just fine.
-Huh?

1765
01:35:16,340 --> 01:35:19,260
He gave me specific
permission to use his name.

1766
01:35:19,340 --> 01:35:23,010
So, it's Lord Ains.
Understand me?

1767
01:35:23,100 --> 01:35:25,730
Hold on! But you just
met him. You're saying

1768
01:35:25,810 --> 01:35:27,357
he told you to do
that during the fight?

1769
01:35:27,440 --> 01:35:29,730
I'm afraid you have to
face the truth. I'm sorry.

1770
01:35:29,810 --> 01:35:32,060
I know this has come as
a great shock to you,

1771
01:35:32,150 --> 01:35:33,400
but I'm special.

1772
01:35:33,820 --> 01:35:36,900
It's all right. Not everyone
can start out at the top.

1773
01:35:36,990 --> 01:35:39,610
Someday, if you work hard
and you keep the faith,

1774
01:35:39,700 --> 01:35:41,450
I truly believe
that you can be part

1775
01:35:41,530 --> 01:35:44,830
of the "Lord Ains Club"
with me. You have potential.

1776
01:35:44,910 --> 01:35:46,330
NEIA: CZ.

1777
01:35:46,750 --> 01:35:48,960
It's an expert's job
to guide a trainee.

1778
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:50,830
I think that we'll
make a good team.

1779
01:35:51,250 --> 01:35:53,800
Well, thank you.
That's good at least.

1780
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:55,630
I know that I just met you,

1781
01:35:55,710 --> 01:35:57,970
but anyone who's able to
appreciate the greatness

1782
01:35:58,050 --> 01:36:00,300
of Lord Ains should
be given mercy.

1783
01:36:00,390 --> 01:36:02,300
Even though you're a
demon and even though

1784
01:36:02,390 --> 01:36:04,680
you're a little bit
confusing, I have to agree.

1785
01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:08,310
Our mutual love of His
Majesty will see us through.

1786
01:36:08,390 --> 01:36:09,600
I'm glad that I met you.

1787
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,900
You're a human, but those
bold eyes are very good.

1788
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:21,660
I admit, when you first
came here, I thought

1789
01:36:21,740 --> 01:36:23,780
it wouldn't matter if
you died on the mission.

1790
01:36:23,870 --> 01:36:26,580
-But now, I will protect you.
-Uh...

1791
01:36:26,660 --> 01:36:29,870
Lord Ains gave me one order
before the end of the battle.

1792
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,750
He told me to cooperate
with you and your allies.

1793
01:36:32,830 --> 01:36:36,130
No dying, but I'll do
anything else to help you out.

1794
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,130
-Works for me.
-Good.

1795
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:42,840
What did you just do?
What is this weird thing?

1796
01:36:42,930 --> 01:36:45,760
I put these on cute things,
or on you, in this case.

1797
01:36:45,850 --> 01:36:48,600
Okay, but what is it
and why's it on my head?

1798
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,980
Y'know, you're like
a little sister.

1799
01:36:51,060 --> 01:36:52,350
Huh?

1800
01:36:52,440 --> 01:36:54,440
-Okay, fine.
-(EXCLAIMS)

1801
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:59,610
Now take it. But stick
it someplace you can see.

1802
01:37:00,950 --> 01:37:02,030
Okay.

1803
01:37:02,570 --> 01:37:04,070
Are we done talking?

1804
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,120
No, wait, one more thing.

1805
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,870
Once we've rescued the
prince, I want to search

1806
01:37:08,950 --> 01:37:10,460
for His Majesty. I mean,

1807
01:37:10,540 --> 01:37:13,040
we still need to find out
where His Majesty fell down.

1808
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,460
Sounds good to me.
Yes, let's do that.

1809
01:37:15,540 --> 01:37:19,130
Really? Thing is, we
don't know if His Majesty

1810
01:37:19,210 --> 01:37:20,550
is all right or not yet.

1811
01:37:20,630 --> 01:37:22,760
He might be stuck
in enemy territory.

1812
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:24,840
I have faith that he'll
pull through somehow,

1813
01:37:24,930 --> 01:37:26,010
but I fear the worst.

1814

-What are you talking about?
-(GASPS)

1815
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:30,600
He's fine. He's not dead.

1816
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,900
The fact that Lord Ains has
me under his control is proof.

speak, can't you, prince?

1929

Of course. But who
are you? I assume

you ladies weren't sent
here to be part of my meal.

behalf of another Zern.

but if I leave this place,

1938
01:45:43,590 --> 01:45:46,550
I will surely invoke
Lord Jaldabaoth's wrath.

1939
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:48,010
That will put my people,

1940
01:45:48,100 --> 01:45:51,140
and, most importantly, our
king in terrible danger.

1941
01:45:51,770 --> 01:45:54,190
I don't know all the
details, but it seems

1942
01:45:54,270 --> 01:45:56,400
that your king was killed,
which is why the Zern

1943
01:45:56,480 --> 01:45:58,190
want to rescue you at any cost.

The Zern made an alliance
with our human army.

When they hear that you're safe,

they'll make their
move and attack.

1949

Very well.

1950
01:46:11,250 --> 01:46:13,540
I know you are heroes who
have risked your lives

1951
01:46:13,620 --> 01:46:15,710
to save me, but I'm
afraid I must ask

1952
01:46:15,790 --> 01:46:18,460
a shameless request.
As a safety precaution,

1953
01:46:18,540 --> 01:46:20,217
will you please act as
if you are taking me

1954
01:46:20,300 --> 01:46:22,010
from this place against my will?

1955

your people, aren't you?

What a fine prince.

1957

In that's the case,
consider us your kidnappers.

1958

I am grateful.

1959
01:46:31,020 --> 01:46:32,930
This isn't uncomfortable, is it?

1960
01:46:33,020 --> 01:46:35,140
I'm fine here on your shoulder,

1961
01:46:35,230 --> 01:46:37,810
but you smell so nice that
it whets my appetite a bit.

1962
01:46:37,900 --> 01:46:39,980
Do the Zern eat human flesh?

1963
01:46:40,070 --> 01:46:43,280
No, we eat bodily fluids.
From the living or dead.

1964
01:46:45,030 --> 01:46:47,700
Don't munch on her,
or I'll get real mad.

1965
01:46:47,780 --> 01:46:49,830

I'm voracious enough

1966
01:46:49,910 --> 01:46:52,240
to eat my own savior
during our escape?

1967

I hope not. Let's go.

1968
01:46:59,170 --> 01:47:01,460

people in this room.

1969
01:47:01,550 --> 01:47:02,550
(SOFTLY) I'll be ready.

Don't know who they are,

1971
01:47:07,050 --> 01:47:09,140
but they're Zerns.

It's Beebeebee!

1974
01:47:15,850 --> 01:47:18,100
I've been told that
my father has passed.

1975
01:47:18,190 --> 01:47:20,980
But what do you plan
to do? If we run away,

1976
01:47:21,070 --> 01:47:23,610
it will only set us on
the path to destruction.

1977
01:47:23,690 --> 01:47:25,820
I worry too. It's frightening.

1978
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:28,110
But we cannot stay
with Jaldabaoth

1979
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,780
when he only sees us as
slaves and livestock.

1980
01:47:30,870 --> 01:47:34,040
Even if he conquers this
land, we will not find peace,

1981
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:35,620
judging by how he has mistreated

1982
01:47:35,700 --> 01:47:37,210
dear Boobeebee already.

1983
01:47:40,500 --> 01:47:42,710

Also, as we feared, one of
Jaldabaoth's demon aides

1987
01:47:50,970 --> 01:47:53,680
is on site here at the castle.
It's the one with two heads.

A Circlet. I see.
It's a kind of demon

that wears the heads
of two magic casters.

1990
01:47:59,310 --> 01:48:00,980
Then it uses their spells.

1991

This is a good chance.
We should kill it.

and I believed her since
we're such good friends,

2168
01:57:40,020 --> 01:57:43,060
-but I'm just so overwhelmed!
-(AINS STUTTERS)

2169
01:57:45,230 --> 01:57:47,610
I see. I'm happy to hear that.

2170
01:57:48,150 --> 01:57:50,110
But wait... you're friends?

2171
01:57:50,610 --> 01:57:51,820
Please don't cry.

2172
01:57:54,070 --> 01:57:55,070
Hmm.

2173
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:58,660
I see you and CZ have grown
quite close, Miss Baraja.

2174
01:57:58,740 --> 01:58:00,450
What a pleasant surprise.

2175
01:58:00,540 --> 01:58:02,080
It's all thanks to your wisdom!

2176
01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:03,870
You left me with a
great partner! We bonded

2177
01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:05,670
-through our love for you!
-She got it all snotty again.

2178
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:07,170
-I can't believe this.
-Seems you did well

2179
01:58:07,250 --> 01:58:10,340
in my absence. Anything
else you'd like to report?

2180
01:58:10,420 --> 01:58:11,460
Hmm, CZ?

2181
01:58:11,550 --> 01:58:13,510
Neia is awesome.

2182
01:58:14,010 --> 01:58:16,720
-She has a unique face.
-Huh? What does that mean?

2183
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:21,390
Oh, wait. I'll save
all of my questions

2184
01:58:21,470 --> 01:58:24,020
until the battle is
over, but one thing...

2185
01:58:24,810 --> 01:58:27,690
Are you angry that we took
so long to go search for you?

2186
01:58:27,770 --> 01:58:30,400
If so, I will take
full responsibility.

2187
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,690
AINS: Why, the thought
never crossed my mind.

2188
01:58:32,780 --> 01:58:34,490
Everything has worked
out well enough,

2189
01:58:34,570 --> 01:58:37,030
so I have no reason to
be angry with anyone.

2190
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:39,030
Your Majesty.

2191
01:58:39,450 --> 01:58:42,160
Rather, I apologize
for making you wait.

2192
01:58:44,290 --> 01:58:46,460
After I was defeated
by Jaldabaoth,

2193
01:58:46,540 --> 01:58:48,630
I fell into the Abelion Hills.

2194
01:58:48,710 --> 01:58:50,420
It took a bit of
work on my part,

2195
01:58:50,500 --> 01:58:52,510
but that entire area
is now under the rule

2196
01:58:52,590 --> 01:58:55,510
of the Sorcerer
Kingdom. In other words,

2197
01:58:55,590 --> 01:58:58,430
all of the forces
here belong to me.

2198
01:59:00,470 --> 01:59:03,520
Now, I do believe I
have a bit of revenge

2199
01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:06,140
to take on our
nemesis, Jaldabaoth.

2200
01:59:12,900 --> 01:59:15,150
Hey, isn't that
the Sorcerer King?

2201
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:16,530
He's alive after all?

2202
01:59:16,860 --> 01:59:19,990
SOLDIER: His Majesty is
here! The Sorcerer King!

2203
01:59:20,700 --> 01:59:23,410
AINS: I can't help but notice
that they're calling my name.

2204
01:59:23,490 --> 01:59:25,370
Of course! They're celebrating

2205
01:59:25,460 --> 01:59:27,540
the return of their
hero after all!

2206
01:59:27,620 --> 01:59:29,330
These people owe
their lives to you!

2207
01:59:30,090 --> 01:59:32,300
Is that really how they feel?

2208
01:59:33,050 --> 01:59:35,420
The humans are thanking me?

2209
01:59:35,510 --> 01:59:37,300
That's right! They love you!

2210
01:59:38,050 --> 01:59:40,550
Courtesy of your
influence, no doubt.

2211
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:44,100
It seems you've grown stronger
in my absence, Miss Baraja.

2212
01:59:45,020 --> 01:59:46,020
Thank you, Your Majesty.

2213
01:59:46,100 --> 01:59:47,770
I'm so honored
that you think so!

2214
01:59:47,850 --> 01:59:49,770

-(CHEERING STOPS)

2216
01:59:53,860 --> 01:59:57,070
Last time, I was
taken by surprise.

2217
01:59:57,150 --> 01:59:58,400
I was outnumbered

2218
01:59:58,490 --> 02:00:00,870
and had consumed much
of my magic power,

2219
02:00:01,410 --> 02:00:05,450
but tonight, the
circumstances are different.

2220
02:00:05,540 --> 02:00:10,040
There is no one who can
defeat me at full strength!

2221
02:00:10,130 --> 02:00:13,540
Wait here, and I shall
return victorious!

2224
02:00:27,140 --> 02:00:28,640
For justice!

2225
02:00:29,190 --> 02:00:30,190

02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:36,030
I've kept you waiting.

2227
02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:43,037
EVIL LORD OF WRATH: I failed
to kill you last time.

2228
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:44,450
Not today.

2236
02:01:44,970 --> 02:01:46,890
I told you so, trainee.

2237
02:01:59,610 --> 02:02:01,610
SOLDIERS: Glory
to His Majesty!

2238
02:02:01,690 --> 02:02:04,320
Praise the Sorcerer King!

2239
02:02:14,580 --> 02:02:16,330
NEIA: And that is
how His Majesty

2240
02:02:16,420 --> 02:02:18,750
the Sorcerer King
defeated Jaldabaoth.

2241
02:02:19,550 --> 02:02:21,920
After Kalinsha,
the Liberation Army

2242
02:02:22,010 --> 02:02:24,260
pushed forward and
retook the city of Prart.

2243
02:02:24,340 --> 02:02:27,100
Then at long last, our
kingdom's capital, Hoburns,

2244
02:02:27,180 --> 02:02:28,680
was liberated as well.

2245
02:02:29,350 --> 02:02:32,230
His Majesty the Sorcerer
King is without equal.

2246
02:02:32,310 --> 02:02:33,940
He fought to bring us peace.

2247
02:02:34,020 --> 02:02:36,350
For the people of this
land and Demi-humans, too!

2248
02:02:36,440 --> 02:02:38,610
Demi-humans don't deserve peace!

2249
02:02:38,690 --> 02:02:41,610
Of course, I think it's fair
for you to feel that way.

2250
02:02:41,690 --> 02:02:44,610
They killed many people.
We can't just forget.

2251
02:02:44,700 --> 02:02:47,450
And yet, like us,
plenty of Demi-humans

2252
02:02:47,530 --> 02:02:49,530
were also victims of Jaldabaoth.

2253
02:02:49,950 --> 02:02:53,250
His Majesty dealt with them,
but he did so with kindness.

2254
02:02:53,330 --> 02:02:54,830
He delivered them
from our kingdom

2255
02:02:54,920 --> 02:02:57,080
and let them live
safely under his flag.

2256
02:02:57,170 --> 02:02:58,790
Thus, we are protected, too.

2257
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:00,880
And peace is preserved for all.

2258
02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:04,010
Now, I ask, have you
ever heard of a king

2259
02:03:04,090 --> 02:03:05,930
who ventures out alone
and puts his life

2260
02:03:06,010 --> 02:03:07,510
on the line for another kingdom,

2261
02:03:07,590 --> 02:03:09,510
just because its
people are suffering?

2262
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:12,310
Have you ever heard of a king
who shows kindness to all,

2263
02:03:12,390 --> 02:03:13,390
no matter their race?

2264
02:03:13,470 --> 02:03:15,310
Oh, uh... Actually,

2265
02:03:15,850 --> 02:03:17,560
when you put it that way, no.

2266
02:03:17,650 --> 02:03:19,940
And I agree! It's
just as you say!

2267
02:03:23,570 --> 02:03:25,990
There should be no borders
when it comes to kindness,

2268
02:03:26,070 --> 02:03:28,160
no borders when it
comes to bravery!

2269
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:29,950
His Majesty taught me this.

2270
02:03:30,030 --> 02:03:32,580
He showed me a new way
to look at the world.

2271
02:03:32,660 --> 02:03:35,000
And that's why there's
none other like him.

2272
02:03:35,080 --> 02:03:37,790
Why he is the one and
only king of justice!

2273
02:03:37,870 --> 02:03:40,340
For what could be more
just than wielding strength

2274
02:03:40,420 --> 02:03:42,130
in the name of kindness?

2275
02:03:42,210 --> 02:03:44,920
That is why this land,
and all of its people,

2276
02:03:45,380 --> 02:03:48,340
why all people in the
world, must seek peace

2277
02:03:48,430 --> 02:03:50,550
beneath the great wings
of the Sorcerer King!

2278
02:03:52,470 --> 02:03:54,020
Another fine speech.

2279
02:03:54,100 --> 02:03:55,850
You're spreading the good word.

2280
02:03:55,930 --> 02:03:57,850
NEIA: Well, my job is
easy when His Majesty

2281
02:03:57,940 --> 02:04:01,150
has accomplished so much.
I don't deserve credit.

2282
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:04,360
There's a matter I'd
like to discuss with you.

2283
02:04:05,900 --> 02:04:08,570
His Majesty's followers
have continued to grow.

2284
02:04:08,650 --> 02:04:10,320
We're now 50,000 strong.

2285
02:04:10,410 --> 02:04:12,620
Wow, that's so
uplifting to hear!

2286
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:15,080
Bit by bit, people are
starting to understand

2287
02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:16,750
His Majesty's greatness!

2288
02:04:17,540 --> 02:04:20,460
Although, that is
only natural. He saved

2289
02:04:20,540 --> 02:04:22,880
our kingdom from complete
destruction, after all.

2290
02:04:23,170 --> 02:04:25,300
Getting back to the matter
I mentioned earlier,

2291
02:04:25,380 --> 02:04:27,470
since our organization
has grown so much,

2292
02:04:27,550 --> 02:04:28,760
the supporters
would like to have

2293
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:30,640
some sort of symbol
of their faith.

2294
02:04:31,050 --> 02:04:34,260
Oh, I see. I must admit,
I hadn't thought of that.

2295
02:04:34,350 --> 02:04:36,060
Can I leave the matter to you?

2296
02:04:36,140 --> 02:04:37,140
It would be my pleasure.

2297
02:04:39,640 --> 02:04:41,060
I'll tell His Majesty.

2298
02:04:41,150 --> 02:04:43,310
I'm sure he'll be
as happy as we are.

2299
02:04:46,730 --> 02:04:48,400
Are you certain, Your Majesty?

2300
02:04:48,900 --> 02:04:52,870
Yes. That equipment is my gift
to you for all your hard work.

2301
02:04:52,950 --> 02:04:55,290
You've made good use of
it already, after all.

2302
02:04:56,330 --> 02:04:59,540
Now, I shall return to
the Sorcerer Kingdom.

2303
02:04:59,620 --> 02:05:01,170
My business here has concluded.

2304
02:05:01,580 --> 02:05:03,170
There's nothing more I can say.

2305
02:05:03,790 --> 02:05:06,130
Though I'm still sad you
can't get a proper farewell.

2306
02:05:06,210 --> 02:05:07,210
Since you saved us,

2307
02:05:07,300 --> 02:05:09,420
you deserve to be
seen off like a hero.

2308
02:05:09,930 --> 02:05:12,050
I assure you, that's no concern.

2309
02:05:12,140 --> 02:05:14,850
In fact, I specifically
asked Prince Caspond

2310
02:05:14,930 --> 02:05:17,770
not to make a big affair
of this. And yet...

2311
02:05:17,850 --> 02:05:18,980
NEIA: You're their savior.

2312
02:05:19,060 --> 02:05:20,940
They wanted to
express their thanks.

2313
02:05:23,100 --> 02:05:24,610
Well, no need to linger.

2314
02:05:25,150 --> 02:05:29,190
CZ, do you have anything you'd
like to say to Miss Baraja?

2315
02:05:30,030 --> 02:05:31,030
See you.

2316
02:05:31,110 --> 02:05:32,860
All right! See you.

2317
02:05:33,910 --> 02:05:35,330
I know your kingdom still has

2318
02:05:35,410 --> 02:05:37,410
many challenges
left to overcome.

2319
02:05:38,950 --> 02:05:41,620
However, I'm confident
that you have the strength

2320
02:05:41,710 --> 02:05:44,790
to succeed. Let us
meet again someday.

2321
02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:45,960
Sure!

2322
02:05:47,050 --> 02:05:49,130
I do have one last question.

2323
02:05:49,260 --> 02:05:50,380
Hmm?

2324
02:05:50,470 --> 02:05:52,430
Well, it's just...

2325
02:05:53,470 --> 02:05:54,640
If you don't mind,

2326
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:56,930
would it be all right if
I call you "Lord Ains"?

2327
02:05:57,470 --> 02:06:01,680
Ah. Yes. If that would
please you, I will allow it.

2328
02:06:01,770 --> 02:06:04,020
NEIA: Thank you
very much! And CZ,

2329
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:05,980
come back soon.

2330
02:06:06,060 --> 02:06:07,070
Mmm.

2331
02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:15,950
Farewell, our hero!

2332
02:06:16,450 --> 02:06:19,200
His Majesty, the Sorcerer King!

2333
02:06:19,700 --> 02:06:21,500
(SCREAMS) Hurray!

2334
02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:27,210
(ALL CHEERING) Hurray!
Hurray! Hurray!

2335
02:06:36,260 --> 02:06:37,350
(WHIMPERS)

2336
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:42,100
Lord Ains, your kindness
changed my life.

2337
02:06:48,150 --> 02:06:51,820
From now on, with every
ounce of my power,

2338
02:06:51,900 --> 02:06:54,360
I'll spread your justice
through the whole kingdom!

2339
02:06:59,780 --> 02:07:01,330
PRINCE CASPOND: Despite
the fact that my leadership

2340
02:07:01,410 --> 02:07:03,950
steered us through the war,
I'm sure plenty of nobles

2341
02:07:04,040 --> 02:07:06,370
will be quite unhappy
once I become Sacred King.

2342
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:09,290
Especially those in
the Southern Territory,

2343
02:07:09,380 --> 02:07:12,090
who were far away from most
of the death and violence.

2344
02:07:12,170 --> 02:07:14,880
As time goes on,
discontent will grow,

2345
02:07:14,970 --> 02:07:17,550
sparking a great rift
between the north and south.

2346
02:07:18,050 --> 02:07:19,470
Then, inevitably,

2347
02:07:19,550 --> 02:07:21,600
the Sacred Kingdom
will be split into two.

2348
02:07:23,720 --> 02:07:25,850
You honor me with your
presence, my lord.

2349
02:07:26,190 --> 02:07:27,690
How may I serve you?

2350
02:07:28,310 --> 02:07:30,650
Just checking in, since
I was already here

2351
02:07:30,730 --> 02:07:31,900
to seize some treasure.

2352
02:07:32,690 --> 02:07:34,820
Have you encountered
any problems thus far?

2353
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:36,950
Not at all, my lord.

2354
02:07:37,030 --> 02:07:38,660
Everything has been proceeding

2355
02:07:38,740 --> 02:07:40,740
exactly according to your plans.

2356
02:07:40,830 --> 02:07:43,660
Splendid. Then onto
the next phase.

2357
02:07:43,740 --> 02:07:46,040
Let us further aggravate
the relationship between

2358
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:49,170
the north and the south,
'til we incite a civil war.

2359
02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:52,500
Searching for hope or
searching for asylum,

2360
02:07:52,590 --> 02:07:55,800
the people of this land will
naturally turn to Lord Ains.

2361
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:58,300
Then, willfully, they
shall give themselves fully

2362
02:07:58,380 --> 02:07:59,680
to the Sorcerer Kingdom.

2363
02:08:00,350 --> 02:08:02,010
I do have one question.

2364
02:08:02,100 --> 02:08:03,810
Is it safe to let Neia Baraja

2365
02:08:03,890 --> 02:08:05,560
continue with what she's doing?

2366
02:08:06,180 --> 02:08:08,270
<i>Even if she spreads</i>
<i>support for His Majesty,</i>

2367
02:08:08,350 --> 02:08:10,060
<i>I fear her popularity</i>
<i>may outweigh</i>

2368
02:08:10,150 --> 02:08:11,560
<i>the Sacred King's in time.</i>

2369
02:08:12,110 --> 02:08:14,190
Leave her be.
Lord Ains' actions

2370
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:16,940
may seem inscrutable at first,
but that is only because

2371
02:08:17,030 --> 02:08:19,110
his true genius
is beyond our ken.

2372
02:08:19,610 --> 02:08:21,700
He has prepared a splendid pawn!

2373
02:08:21,780 --> 02:08:23,410
I see that now that the pieces

2374
02:08:23,490 --> 02:08:25,080
have fallen so
neatly into place!

2375
02:08:25,540 --> 02:08:27,660
This is a land
mired in religion,

2376
02:08:27,750 --> 02:08:30,580
reliant on their Sacred
King, and yet Lord Ains

2377
02:08:30,670 --> 02:08:34,420
has effortlessly forged the
perfect, loyal, mouthpiece.

2378
02:08:34,500 --> 02:08:36,800
One that will expedite
my plan by years!

2379
02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:39,720
To that end, he even
staged his own death,

2380
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:41,550
fooling the whole
Sacred Kingdom.

2381
02:08:42,140 --> 02:08:44,470
His genius is
terrifying! Even amongst

2382
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,810
the Supreme Beings, he
stands atop the highest peak!

2383
02:08:47,890 --> 02:08:48,930
Ah!

2384
02:08:49,020 --> 02:08:51,230
Lord Ains, I shall not rest

2385
02:08:51,310 --> 02:08:53,400
'til this whole world
is in your grasp!

2386
02:08:54,610 --> 02:08:57,940
Now, any other questions
before I'm on my way?

2387
02:08:58,030 --> 02:09:00,410
Yes. Remedios Custodio.

2388
02:09:00,490 --> 02:09:02,410
She's no longer
of any use to us.

2389
02:09:02,490 --> 02:09:04,160
<i>Would it not be safer</i>
<i>just to kill her</i>

2390
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:05,990
<i>before she causes</i> <i>more trouble?</i>

2391
02:09:06,450 --> 02:09:09,870
DEMIURGE: <i>Well, I wouldn't
say</i> <i>she's completely useless.</i>

2392
02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:11,790
<i>For now, she'll serve</i>
<i>as a fine target</i>

2393
02:09:11,870 --> 02:09:13,460
<i>for the discontent</i>
<i>of the nobles.</i>

2394
02:09:13,540 --> 02:09:15,340
<i>We'll dispose of her</i>
<i>once both sides have</i>

2395
02:09:15,420 --> 02:09:17,170
<i>thoroughly turned</i>
<i>against one another.</i>

2396
02:09:18,050 --> 02:09:19,340
Very well, my lord.

2397
02:09:19,800 --> 02:09:22,300
Good then. I'll
leave you to it.

2398
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:29,600
PRINCE CASPOND: Enjoy your
happiness while you can,

2399
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:33,230
my dear subjects. You may
find it is quite fleeting.

2400
02:09:33,310 --> 02:09:35,690
(UPBEAT ROCK SONG PLAYING)

2401
02:13:54,950 --> 02:13:56,620
(SONG ENDS)

2402
02:14:01,120 --> 02:14:05,170
CZ, this was your first time
doing a mission on your own.

2403
02:14:05,250 --> 02:14:08,170
Tell me, how did you feel
about the experience?

2404
02:14:08,250 --> 02:14:11,010
I tried hard. I did my best.

2405
02:14:12,050 --> 02:14:14,890
That said, I didn't have orders,

2406
02:14:14,970 --> 02:14:18,180
and making decisions
on my own was... hard.

2407
02:14:18,470 --> 02:14:20,020
Yes, I see.

2408
02:14:20,810 --> 02:14:22,850
Oh, what about Miss Baraja?

2409
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:26,560
She's a human, but it
seems you got along well.

2410
02:14:26,650 --> 02:14:28,690
I like her lots. She's great.

2411
02:14:29,190 --> 02:14:30,990
AINS: I'm happy to hear it.

2412
02:14:31,070 --> 02:14:33,990
Uh, speaking of things
I'd be happy to hear,

2413
02:14:34,070 --> 02:14:36,450
how did it go with the
whole runes operation?

2414
02:14:36,530 --> 02:14:38,200
Were people interested
in getting their hands

2415
02:14:38,280 --> 02:14:40,200
on some rune weapons?

2416
02:14:40,290 --> 02:14:41,450
CZ: I tried hard.

2417
02:14:42,370 --> 02:14:45,920
AINS: I see. So,
I assume, uh...

2418
02:14:46,670 --> 02:14:47,840
CZ: I did my best.
