    The continent of Summerforth.
[00:02] Narrator
    This land was once controlled
    by seven kingdoms:
[00:06] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Rofeille,
[00:08] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Ansel,
[00:09] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Paradille,
[00:10] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Canshiep,
[00:12] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Sheutz,
[00:13] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Seitz,
[00:15] Narrator
    and the Kingdom of Missian.
[00:17] Narrator
    Over time, Ansel absorbed the other six
[00:20] Narrator
    and changed its name to
    the Summerforth Empire.

[00:33] Ars
    Kreiz, Wren. Come here.
[00:40] Ars
    Say goodbye to our father.
[00:44] Ars
    He taught me so many things.
[00:47] Ars
    He was an incredible man.
[00:57] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[01:03] Ars
    As of today, I am the master of House Louvent!

    Legend of Nobunaga
[01:33] Sofia
    Good morning.
[01:34] Ars
    I hear something... What is it?
[01:37] Sofia
    Oh, you silly little boy.
[01:39] Ars
    Who's that?
[01:40] Sofia
    I'm surprised that man's son
    could have such a gentle face.
[01:43] Ars
    Am I... in the hospital?
[01:45] Ars
    Is this lady a nurse?
[01:48] Ars
    Looks like a pretty old hospital...
[01:53] Ars
    A flying dog?!
[01:55] Sofia
    Oh, my.
[01:56] Sofia
    I think he likes you, too.
[01:59] Alice
    I've set your tea over there, milady.
[02:01] Sofia
    Thank you.
[02:04] Alice
    Your son is truly adorable.
[02:07] Sofia
    You think so?
[02:07] Ars
    Wait, what?
[02:09] Ars
    Is that... me?

    Year 200 of the Summerforth Calendar
[02:11] Narrator
    In the 200th year of the
    Summerforth Calendar,
[02:13] Narrator
    Ars Louvent was born in Lamberg
    in the province of Missian.

    Ars Louvent, Age 3
[03:59] Ars
    Thank you so much!
[04:02] Ars
    It turns out I died and was reincarnated
    as someone named Ars Louvent.
[04:07] Ars
    I've since mastered reading and writing,
[04:09] Ars
    and I've become fairly knowledgeable
    about this new world.
[04:13] Ars
    I was born in the Summerforth Empire,
    which rules the continent of Summerforth.
[04:19] Ars
    I'd never seen a world map like this,
    so wherever I am now, I figure it's not Earth.
[04:24] Ars
    There's also a technique known as "magic"
    that lets you conjure mysterious phenomena.
[04:29] Ars
    It's like the world of a video game!
[04:31] Ars
    The Louvent family I was born
    into is a noble household.
[04:36] Ars
    We manage a small region of a few
    thousand people, called Lamberg.
[04:41] Ars
    Our house is so big and pretty
    that I thought it was a castle!
[04:45] Ars
    We've got lots of servants
    who always look after us.
[04:49] Ars
    We also have a live-in chef who cooks
    delicious food for us every day.
[04:53] Ars
    Getting reincarnated was great!
[04:56] Ars
    I also learned one other thing.
[04:59] Ars
    I appear to have a power
    that nobody else does.
[05:07] Ars
    Hello, everyone!
[05:08] Ars
    Is it all right if I watch from here?
[05:11] Gullar
    That's fine.
[05:12] Ben
    The young master sure comes here often, eh?
[05:14] Charlie
    And he's only three!
    He'll be a real hellraiser someday.
[05:18] Soldier E
    Hey, get it right!
[05:20] Millais
    Darn it... One more try!
[05:24] Ars
    The ability I have that no one else does...
[05:27] Ars
    It's called...

[05:37] Ars
    That means he'd be good with bows!
[05:45] Ars
    E-Excuse me, Millais?
[05:47] Millais
    Yes, young master?
[05:48] Millais
    And wait... you know my name?
[05:51] Ars
    Um, have you ever used a bow?
[05:54] Millais
    A bow?
[05:55] Millais
    I wouldn't be caught dead
    with a weapon like that.
[05:58] Millais
    A real man doesn't shoot at his
    enemies from a safe distance!
[06:02] Ars
    All right, but...
[06:04] Ars
    I think you'd handle a bow really well.
[06:08] Ars
    Would you be willing to try?
[06:10] Millais
    Huh?
[06:10] Millais
    But...
[06:12] Soldier E
    The young master's asking.
[06:14] Soldier E
    Give it a try.
[06:16] Millais
    I've never even shot a bow before, though.
[06:18] Freddie
    Millais, you should move closer
    if this is your first time.
[06:22] Ars
    No, please try it from right there.
[06:34] Freddie
    That was luck! Just dumb luck!
[06:36] Soldier G
    Hey, Millais, try that again.
[06:39] Millais
    S-Sure.
[06:44] Gullar
    You should be an archer, son!
[06:47] Gullar
    You stink with a spear anyway!
[06:49] Ben
    You're a natural, man!
[06:51] Millais
    I-I guess using a bow wouldn't be so bad!
[06:54] Millais
    All's fair in war, after all!
[06:56] Charlie
    But young master, how did you know
    Millais would have talent with a bow?
[07:01] Ars
    U-Um, well...
[07:06] Ars
    It was instinct!
[07:07] Charlie
    Instinct, huh?
[07:08] Soldier H
    That's really something!
[07:10] Ars
    If I said, "I can see numerical values
    representing his abilities and aptitudes,"
[07:15] Ars
    I doubt they'd believe me.
[07:17] Ars
    But this ability is definitely for real.
[07:21] Ars
    Thing is, I just can't use it
    on myself for some reason.
[07:25] Ars
    Which is kind of a shame,
    though I'm also afraid of what I'd see.
[07:31] Ars
    Another delicious-looking dinner!
[07:34] Raven
    Ars.
[07:34] Ars
    Y-Yes?
[07:36] Raven
    I'm told you discovered
     Millais's talent for archery.
[07:40] Ars
    Yes, Father...
[07:42] Ars
    This is my father in this world.
[07:45] Ars
    He always looks a little angry,
    so he honestly kind of scares me.

    Ars.
[08:04] Ars
    Yes, Father?!
[08:06] Raven
    I want you to hone that instinct of yours.
[08:09] Raven
    You'll be the lord of this land someday.
[08:11] Raven
    The ability to discern the gifts of others
    is an important talent for a lord.
[08:17] Ars
    Y-Yes, sir!
[08:19] Ars
    That's right.
    I'll be lord of this land one day.
[08:23] Raven
    Have mine, too.
[08:25] Raven
    I want you growing up fast.
[08:26] Sofia
    Here.
[08:27] Ars
    Yes, sir! I'll try!
[08:30] Ars
    Ever since that day, I've studied
    more and more about the empire.
[08:35] Ars
    And I realized something in the process.
[08:38] Ars
    The future ahead of me is not a bright one.
[08:42] Ars
    The rulers of the Summerforth
    Empire are corrupt,
[08:45] Ars
    and peasant revolts are erupting all over.
[08:49] Ars
    Various nobles are focusing on
    autonomy to quell the revolts,
[08:53] Ars
    but the nation remains in chaos.
[08:55] Ars
    If nothing changes, I fear the empire
    will fall, leading to widespread war.
[09:01] Ars
    If that happens, as lord,
    I'll have to lead our forces into battle.
[09:06] Ars
    Me... going to war?
[09:12] Ars
    Can someone like me... really
    keep the people of Lamberg safe?
[09:20] Ars
    They've all been so kind to me.
[09:23] Ars
    I want to protect them so badly!
[09:26] Raven
    The ability to discern the gifts of others
    is an important talent for a lord.
[09:45] Villager A
    Oh, Lord Ars!
[09:47] Villager A
    It's rare to see you in town all by yourself.
[09:51] Villager A
    Out shopping, are you?
[09:52] Ars

[10:18] Villager B
    Get out!
[10:20] Villager B
    I've got nothing to sell to the likes of you!
[10:27] Ars
    He doesn't look like the folks around here.
[10:30] Ars
    Who is he?
[10:31] Kid
    Hey, it's a Malkan!
[10:32] Villager C
    Don't get close.
[10:34] Villager D
    He's filthy.
[10:35] Villager D
    What's a Malkan doing here?
[10:38] Ars
    A Malkan.
[10:39] Ars
    They're a group of people who came
    to Summerforth from across the sea.
[10:44] Ars
    Most of them were brought as slaves...
[10:52] Ars
    Here.
[10:55] Ars
    You can have this if you'd like.
[10:57] Villager E

[12:15] sign

    I'll Use My Appraisal Skill

[12:15] Rietz
    Y-Your retainer?
[12:17] Ars
    Yes!
[12:18] Ars
    I want to use Appraisal to
    gather the best of the best
[12:20] Ars
    and make my domain stronger!
[12:23] Rietz
    Like... for pretend?
[12:25] Ars
    N-No!
[12:27] Ars
    I'm Ars Louvent.
[12:29] Ars
    I'm the son of the lord of this village.
[12:32] Ars
    Look! This is the Louvent family crest!
[12:35] Rietz
    The lord's son?
[12:36] Ars
    I can sense great talent in you!
[12:38] Ars
    I want you to become my retainer!
[12:41] Rietz
    You sense talent?
[12:42] Rietz
    But we only just met.
[12:44] Rietz
    How could you possibly sense that?
[12:46] Ars
    I just... know certain things!
[12:49] Rietz
    I'm grateful for your kindness.
    I don't want to cause you any trouble now.
[12:54] Rietz
    People wouldn't think well of you
    for taking in a Malkan like me.
[12:58] Ars
    D-Don't worry about that!
[12:59] Ars
    I'll figure something out!
[13:02] Rietz
    Sorry, no.
[13:03] Rietz
    But thanks for the bread.
[13:04] Ars
    H-Hey...
[13:06] Ars
    I might never meet anyone
    with such incredible stats again!
[13:11] Ars
    I can't let him leave!
[13:15] Ars
    Y-You need more than just bread, right?
[13:18] Ars
    Our family has an amazing chef who'll make
    you all the delicious food you can eat!
[13:23] Ars
    Steak, beef stew, meat pies, rolls!
[13:26] Ars
    We've got wine and cake, too!
[13:31] Rietz
    You really are the son of the local lord...
[13:36] Ars
    Go on! Eat all you—
[13:41] Alice
    I'm terribly sorry.
[13:43] Alice
    We simply can't serve you
    the same fare as Lord Ars.
[13:48] Krantz
    You've only been allowed into our
    home at Lord Ars's request.
[13:51] Krantz
    We ask that you leave immediately
    after you finish your meal.
[13:56] Ars
    The prejudice against Malkans runs deep.
[13:59] Ars
    I doubt I'll be able to talk them out of it.
[14:10] Ars
    Let's eat together!
[14:12] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[14:13] Alice
    Y-Young master!
[14:15] Ars
    This man is my honored guest!
[14:19] Alice
    Forgive us. We'll serve him the same fare.
[14:29] Ars
    What were you doing in that village, Rietz?
[14:33] Rietz
    I used to be part of a band of mercenaries.
[14:36] Rietz
    Lots of my comrades died in battle,
[14:39] Rietz
    and the group disbanded.
[14:41] Rietz
    I've been wandering aimlessly since,
     and then I wound up here.
[14:46] Ars
    You didn't join another mercenary group?
[14:49] Rietz
    I can't.
[14:50] Rietz
    No one will hire a child with no
    accomplishments to his name.
[14:54] Rietz
    I'd been with my previous
    group since I was little.
[14:59] Ars
    That must have been so hard...
[15:02] Krantz
    Lord Ars, shouldn't you be
    seeing your guest off soon?
[15:06] Ars
    I can't do that!
[15:08] Ars
    I brought this man here
    to make him my retainer.
[15:11] Krantz
    What?! O-Out of the question!
[15:14] Krantz
    Think of what Lord Raven would say!
[15:19] Raven
    I think I understand.
[15:22] Raven
    We're talking about this Malkan here, yes?
[15:30] Raven
    Unacceptable.
[15:31] Raven
    Taking a Malkan as a retainer
    is an outrageously foolish act.
[15:35] Raven
    Throw him out at once.
[15:36] Ars
    Rietz Muses has incredible talents.
[15:39] Ars
    We'll be missing out terribly if
    we don't make him a retainer!
[15:44] Raven
    Listen, Ars.
[15:45] Raven
    Malkans are overwhelmingly
    inferior to Summerforthians.
[15:51] Raven
    They cannot have "incredible talents."
[15:53] Ars
    Even Father believes the conventional
    wisdom about Malkans.
[15:58] Ars
    But...
[15:59] Ars
    I believe this man will be
    indispensable for Lamberg's future.
[16:04] Ars
    I don't know anything
    about Malkans as a whole,
[16:06] Ars
    but I'm positive that Rietz
    has god-given talents!
[16:11] Ars
    If you doubt me, why not
    test his abilities yourself?
[16:16] Raven
    What makes you so sure of his talent?
[16:19] Ars
    I just know certain things.
[16:21] Raven
    I'll admit you recognized
     Millais's talent for the bow.
[16:25] Ars
    Yes.
[16:26] Ars
    It's just like that.
[16:28] Ars
    My instinct is telling me that
    he has unprecedented talent.
[16:33] Raven
    If you insist, I'll test him.
[16:36] Raven
    If he proves talented,
    I'll employ him as a soldier.
[16:40] Ars
    Thank you, Father!
[16:42] Ars
    Even if he starts in the rank and file,
[16:44] Ars
    knowing Rietz, he'll quickly
    make a name for himself.
[16:46] Ars
    Then my father, who believes in meritocracy,
    will have to promote him!
[16:50] Raven
    The test will be simple.
[16:52] Raven
    He'll fight in a mock duel with me.
[16:55] Raven
    If he wins, he passes.
[16:58] Ars
    Um, but Father...
[17:00] Ars
    He's just fourteen years old.
[17:02] Ars
    And you're blessed with
    god-given skill in battle yourself.
[17:06] Ars
    I'm not sure he stands a chance against
    you under the current circumstances...
[17:13] Raven
    Did you not say he's talented?
[17:15] Ars
    He is...

[17:23] Raven
    I'll give him a handicap.
[17:25] Ars
    A handicap? This might work out, then.
[17:29] Ars
    Understood!
[17:30] Ars
    Do you agree to that, Rietz?
[17:33] Rietz
    Er... Y-Yes.
[17:36] Raven
    Let us proceed, then.
[17:41] Rietz
    Um, Lord Ars...
[17:44] Rietz
    Why are you fighting so hard
    to take a Malkan as a retainer?
[17:48] Rietz
    Is it pity?
[17:50] Ars
    Rietz...
[17:51] Ars
    Do you not want to be a
    retainer for House Louvent?
[17:54] Ars
    If you don't, I can tell my father
    to call this off right now...
[17:57] Rietz
    Not, that's not it.
[17:58] Rietz
    The offer to be your retainer makes me happy.
[18:01] Rietz
    It's the best offer I've ever had in my life.
[18:05] Rietz
    It just... feels sort of unbelievable, honestly.
[18:09] Rietz
    We Malkans are persecuted wherever we go.
[18:12] Ars
    I need you, Rietz!
[18:16] Ars
    I'm going to be lord of this land someday.
[18:19] Ars
    When that time comes, I want
    you by my side helping me!
[18:24] Rietz
    I'll do my best.
[18:28] Soldier H
    Who's that?
[18:30] Gullar
    Looks like a Malkan.
[18:32] Soldier I
    I hear the young master brought him here.
[18:34] Raven
    Millais, practice swords.
[18:36] Raven
    Gratz, bring an hourglass.
[18:38] Millais
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:41] Raven
    Take a sword.
[18:42] Rietz
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:46] Raven
    If you can land one blow against me
    before time runs out, you'll win.
[18:52] Ars
    Father's Prowess stat is surely
    the highest in the land...
[18:57] Ars
    But if he only needs to land one blow,
    Rietz might just have a chance!
[19:01] Raven
    By the way, you haven't told me your name.
[19:05] Raven
    We're about to duel. Identify yourself.
[19:08] Rietz
    Rietz Muses.
[19:10] Raven
    I am Raven Louvent, master of House Louvent.
[19:14] Raven
    Show me what you can do.
[19:21] Rietz
    That strike...
[19:22] Rietz
    Even with a practice sword,
    it'd have cut me in two if it hit me!
[19:27] Rietz
    H-He's fast!
[19:29] Rietz
    He swung again so quickly
    after such a powerful attack...
[19:40] Ars
    It's no use! Father's too strong!
[19:43] Gullar
    Who the hell is that Malkan?
[19:45] Ben
    Even when the lord goes easy on us,
[19:47] Ben
    we can barely hold on to our swords,
    let alone land a blow on him.
[19:51] Charlie
    But that Malkan is actually keeping pace!
[19:55] Gullar
    And Lord Raven is going all-out, I believe.
[20:05] Ars
    Rietz!
[20:05] Gullar
    Still, not even he can land a blow
    on the land's greatest swordsman.
[20:13] Raven
    What's the matter? You have little time left.
[20:21] Ars
    I want you by my side helping me!
[20:28] Rietz
    At your insistence, then...
    I'll give it my best.
[20:33] Ars
    Rietz... His expression has changed.
[20:37] Raven
    I know just what you're trying!
[20:41] Raven
    Not bad at all, but—
[20:56] Raven
    It's over.
[21:02] Ben
    It grazed him?!
[21:05] Dawson
    That guy just landed a blow on Lord Raven!
[21:07] Soldier G
    Just who is that Malkan?!
[21:11] Raven
    You've won.
[21:12] Raven
    As promised, I'll employ you as a soldier.
[21:16] Ars
    Amazing! Rietz really is gifted!
[21:22] Ars
    Congratulations!
[21:23] Ars
    That was a magnificent fight!
[21:25] Ars
    Father, thank you!
[21:28] Raven
    You were right.
[21:30] Raven
    I sensed true talent in Rietz there.
[21:33] Raven
    He may become a top-class
    swordsman in the future.
[21:37] Raven
    Your ability to see people's
    talents is the real thing.
[21:40] Raven
    You might have some exceptional
     power of your own.
[21:45] Raven
    I was worried about how you'd fare
     in the chaotic age to come...
[21:49] Raven
    But you may yet become a great man.
[21:52] Ars
    Me? A great man?
[21:54] Raven
    You could become a powerful noble...
[21:56] Raven
    Or perhaps even the emperor himself.
[21:59] Ars
    The emperor?!
[22:02] Raven
    I'm joking.
[22:03] Raven
    The throne is too lofty a goal for
    the lord of such a small domain.
[22:07] Raven
    If you simply carry on the Louvent name
    for another generation, that's enough for me.
[22:12] Soldier H
    Hey, you were pretty awesome!
[22:13] Dawson
    Where did you learn how to fence?
[22:14] Gratz
    Would you have a mock duel with me, too?
[22:16] Gratz
    I wanna know just how strong you are!
[22:17] Rietz
    Uh...
[22:18] Soldier I
    Me, too!
[22:22] Ars
    Rietz! How are you doing?
[22:27] Rietz
    I don't look strange?
[22:29] Rietz
    I've never worn anything like this before.
[22:31] Ars
    No, it looks great on you!
[22:34] Ars
    Really!
[22:35] Ars
    Rietz, I heard you were taking
    on servant duties, as well.
[22:40] Rietz
    I want to help as much as I can.
[22:43] Ars
    You don't have to go that far!
[22:46] Ars
    We're only a very small domain.
[22:49] Rietz
    Still... having a liege to
    serve is like a dream to me.
[22:57] Rietz
    If not for you, Lord Ars,
    I'd likely have died on the streets.
[23:03] Rietz
    I truly can't thank you enough.
[23:08] Rietz
    I will spend the rest of my
    life repaying this debt to you.
[23:15] Ars
    Okay!
[23:17] Ars
    Let's do great work together!
[23:19] Ars
    And so my quest to build
    the strongest domain began.
[23:25] Ars
    Rietz, if we want to protect Lamberg,
    we'll need more talented people!
[23:29] Rietz
    Yes, it would be best to have
    someone with magical talent...
[23:32] Ars
    Magic?!
[23:33] Ars
    Fantasy!
[23:34] Ars
    Yes!

[02:21] Rietz
    You always feed us such

[02:23] Ars
    Rietz has been a part of the
    household for a few months now.
[02:32] Ars
    So far, he's been staying with me
    rather than taking part in battle.
[02:37] Ars
    The tutoring he's receiving has
    drastically increased his Ingenuity,
[02:40] Ars
    and now he's one of the most knowledgeable
    people in all of House Louvent.
[02:43] sign

[02:56] Bridget

[02:58] Bridget
    It's wonderful to have him around!
[03:00] Alice
    And he's quite handsome when
    you really get a look at him.
[03:04] Ars
    And now...
[03:06] Rietz
    Lord Ars, shall we have our lesson today?
[03:09] Ars
    Yes, I'd love that.
[03:13] Rietz
    As I taught you previously,
[03:15] Rietz
    the continent of Summerforth
     originally comprised seven kingdoms,
[03:18] Rietz
    which have since been united into
    the Summerforth Empire, remember?
[03:22] Ars
    Yes.
[03:23] Rietz
    The Kingdom of Ansel sat across
    a strait from another continent,
[03:27] Rietz
    allowing it to conduct maritime
     trade with foreign nations.
[03:30] Rietz
    Thus it amassed power, which it used to
    invade and conquer the other six kingdoms.
[03:35] Rietz
    With the entire continent under his control,
[03:37] Rietz
    Ansel's King Anathas Bydoras
    declared himself emperor
[03:42] Rietz
    and renamed his realm the Summerforth Empire.
[03:46] Rietz
    This took place 203 years ago.
[03:49] Ars
    Yeah. I learned that much from my own reading.
[03:53] Rietz
    However, the Summerforth Empire
    is now in a dire situation.
[03:58] Rietz
    Our current sovereign, Bydoras XII,
     is an eight-year-old child.
[04:02] Rietz
    The real power is held by his retainers,
    who are embroiled in factional rivalries
[04:06] Rietz
    that corrode centralized authority.
[04:09] Rietz
    With the emperor's control on the wane,
    popular revolts are flaring up all over.
[04:15] Rietz
    It's caused provincial governers to defy the
    crown and bolster their local autonomy.
[04:23] Ars
    They're only minor skirmishes for now, but even
    Father's being dispatched to deal with them.
[04:27] Ars
    And there'll be a bigger conflict someday.
[04:30] Ars
    I need to prepare for that by using my power
    to get talented people on my side in advance.
[04:35] Ars
    Obviously, I'd rather it never came to that, but...
[04:39] Ars
    Rietz, if a bigger conflict were to happen,
     where do you think it would start?
[04:44] Rietz
    Here in Missian Province, I expect.
[04:47] Rietz
    Missian's current governor, Amador
    Salamakhia, is old and in poor health.
[04:53] Rietz
    There's a good chance he'll die
     within the next few years.
[04:59] Rietz
    Lord Salamakhia has two sons.
[05:02] Rietz
    Normally, the elder son would succeed him,
    but the younger son is more capable.
[05:06] Rietz
    The governor seems torn as
    to who should succeed him.
[05:10] Rietz
    If he were to pass before making the decision,
[05:13] Rietz
    it would undoubtedly lead to war.
[05:15] Rietz
    And even if he does choose before then,
[05:17] Rietz
    war will likely break out anyway.
[05:20] Rietz
    It appears both of the brothers
    want to inherit the position.
[05:26] Ars
    Oh, no...
[05:28] Ars
    If that were to happen,
    which side would Father take?
[05:32] Rietz
    He seems to believe it's the
    elder son's right to succeed,
[05:36] Rietz
    but it won't be Lord Raven
    who decides which side he takes.
[05:40] Ars
    I see.
[05:42] Ars
    Because Father doesn't serve
    the governor of Missian directly.
[05:47] Ars
    Each province is divided into districts.
[05:51] Ars
    Lamberg lies in the district of Canarre,
[05:52] sign
    Lamberg
[05:52] sign
    Canarre District
[05:52] sign
    Missian Province
[05:53] Ars
    and Father is in service below
    Canarre District's headman.
[05:57] Ars
    Though my Appraisal skill might come
    in handy when choosing who to back...
[06:03] Ars
    Writing out my address in modern times,
[06:04] Ars
    it'd probably go "Lamberg, Canarre District,
    Missian Province, Summerforth Empire."
[06:09] Ars
    I'm pretty nervous.
[06:11] Ars
    Father is still alive, but I'm just a kid.
[06:15] Ars
    Rietz is the only good
    prospect I've found so far,
[06:18] Ars
    and if Father were to be on the losing side...
[06:21] Rietz
    In a sense, this is an opportunity for us.
[06:25] Rietz
    A good showing in a major conflict
    can help a lord advance in the world.
[06:28] Ars
    That's right!
[06:30] Rietz
    Let's try to get stronger to
    make that outcome more likely.
[06:34] Rietz
    Don't worry. I'm with you.
[06:37] Rietz
    I will protect you, Lord Ars.
[06:39] Ars
    Rietz...
[06:40] Ars
    Thank you!
[06:42] Rietz
    The best way to keep you safe
    is to recruit the right people.
[06:45] Rietz
    Lord Ars, will you help me?
[06:48] Ars
    Yes!
[06:49] Ars
    Let's go search for more people right now!
[06:52] Rietz
    Yes, my lord! It'd be my pleasure.
[06:59] Ars
    Father...
[07:01] Ars
    He's spending more time training these days.
[07:01] sign
    Raven Louvent
[07:05] Ars
    I guess he knows war is on the horizon.
[07:08] Raven
    Ars, are you heading into town again?
[07:10] Ars
    Yes. I'll be scouting more fine new recruits.
[07:13] Raven
    I see.
[07:15] Raven
    I was hoping you might find us
    someone with a talent for magic.
[07:20] Ars
    Magic?
[07:22] Raven
    Yes.
[07:23] Raven
    Magic will be a crucial resource
    in the battles to come.
[07:27] Raven
    I can't wield magic properly,
[07:31] Raven
    and my few retainers who can
    aren't particularly blessed.
[07:36] Rietz
    It's true mages can turn the tide of battle.
[07:40] Rietz
    We'll certainly need them.
[07:42] Ars
    Magic...
[07:44] Ars
    I tried using it once at Father's request.
[07:47] Ars
    I attached beads filled with mysterious
    red fluid to a strange device
[07:51] Ars
    and recited a short phrase...
[07:53] (Flashback) Ars
    Forma Igni Erupt!
[08:01] Ars
    He hasn't asked me to try again since.
[08:04] Ars
    I guess the spell I used didn't
    suggest much aptitude for magic.
[08:08] Raven
    I'm counting on you.
[08:09] Ars
    I'll do my best!
[08:14] Ars
    You're so great, Rietz!
    You're even a talented equestrian!
[08:18] Rietz
    Having a mage would make us even
    better prepared for war, wouldn't it?
[08:22] Ars
    Yes!
[08:24] Ars
    That's right. A mage would
    really bolster our forces.
[08:28] Ars
    For the future of House Louvent and Lamberg,
[08:31] Ars
    I have to find the best possible candidate!
[08:34] sign
    Castle Town, Canarre
[08:40] Ars
    S-So many people!
[08:43] Rietz
    I've heard the population is about 50,000.
[08:46] Ars
    Fifty thousand?!
[08:47] Ars
    That's fifty times Lamberg's...
[08:49] Rietz
    This is the capital of Canarre District.
[08:52] Rietz
    That's Canarre Castle, home to House Pyres,
    the family that rules the district.
[08:56] Ars
    What an amazing castle!
[09:01] Ars
    The people here look so wealthy.
[09:06] Ars
    I want to provide this kind of life
    for the citizens of Lamberg someday.
[09:12] Rietz
    With so many people to choose from,
    I'm sure we'll find an excellent candidate.
[09:16] Rietz
    Let's give it our best.

[10:09] Rietz
    Let's take our time.
[10:10] Ars
    You're right.
[10:26] Rietz
    Looks like there's a market square up ahead.
[10:28] Rietz
    There should be lots of people there.
[10:31] Rietz
    Lord Ars? What's the matter?
[10:40] Rietz
    Wherever there are wealthy people,
    there are also people like this.
[10:44] Rietz
    It may be that prosperity itself
    breeds wealth inequality.
[10:49] Ars
    Um...
[10:50] Rietz
    I know what you want to say.
[10:53] Rietz
    You saved me, Lord Ars,
[10:56] Rietz
    so it pains me to say this, but...
[11:01] Rietz
    There's nothing we can do for them right now.
[11:05] Ars
    You're right.
[11:07] Ars
    I don't have the power to save them now.
[11:11] Ars
    Earlier, I only saw the superficial prosperity
     and thought this was a wonderful town.
[11:18] Ars
    But a truly good town would be a place
    where even the less fortunate
[11:23] Ars
    could make a life for themselves.
[11:27] Ars
    That's the kind of domain I want to create.
[11:31] Ars
    And... this might be naïve of me,
[11:35] Ars
    but I kind of wish we could find the talent
    we're looking for among people like them.
[11:40] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[11:42] Rietz
    I truly am proud to be in your service.
[11:46] Ars
    Huh?! Wh-Where'd that come from?
[11:49] Ars
    You're the amazing one.
[11:50] Rietz
    Well, it's just how I really feel.
[11:58] Rietz
    This is the largest market in Canarre.
[11:59] Ars
    Wow! Look at all the delicious food!
[12:02] Egg Seller
    You there, boy!
[12:04] Egg Seller
    Want a dragon for a pet?
[12:07] Egg Seller
    These are real dragon eggs,

[12:11] Ars
    Dragon... eggs?!
[12:13] Ars
    There are dragons in this world?!
[12:16] Ars
    And you can keep them as pets?!
[12:18] Ars
    I... I want one!
[12:19] Egg Seller
    They're pretty rare, but y'know what?
[12:21] Egg Seller
    Just for you, I'll make 'em one silver each!
[12:23] Egg Seller
    How's about a souvenir?
[12:25] Ars

[12:36] Ars
    H-Hey! Rietz?!
[12:37] Egg Seller
    What the hell are you—
[12:38] Rietz
    Listen to me.
[12:40] Rietz
    Trade with the northern continent
    was frozen last year.
[12:43] Rietz
    The only way to import goods
    would be smuggling.
[12:46] Rietz
    Plus, dragon eggs won't hatch unless
    stored at high temperatures,
[12:50] Rietz
    and the spots on these are
    far darker and larger
[12:54] Rietz
    than what I've seen in reference books.
[12:56] Rietz
    Moreover, no mere stall could have such
    a large collection of rare dragon eggs.
[13:02] Rietz
    These are giant lizard eggs
    from the Ansel region.
[13:05] Egg Seller
    Th-That's not—
[13:06] Rietz
    Quiet!
[13:08] Rietz
    The price for humiliating Lord Ars is death.

[13:51] Rietz
    Eat well, Lord Ars.
[13:57] Ars
    There's candy, too!
[14:04] Ars
    One, please!
[14:09] Rietz
    Lord Ars!
[14:10] Ars
    That startled me.
    They were sure in a hurry, huh?
[14:13] Rietz
    That person stole your purse!
[14:16] Ars
    Wh-What are we going to do, Rietz?!
[14:19] Rietz
    I'll catch them. Hold on!
[14:25] Ars
    Th-They're so fast!
[14:28] Woman
    Hey!
[14:49] Punk A
    Takes guts for garbage like you
    to try to give us the slip.
[14:54] Punk A
    Little brat. You really wasted our time.
[14:58] Ars
    Stop that!
[15:00] Ars
    You can't just hit a poor girl
    like that. It's not right!
[15:03] Punk A
    What was that, brat?!
[15:08] Rietz
    Keep your filthy hands off of Lord Ars.
[15:11] Punk A
    The hell did you say?!
[15:26] Rietz
    Well, that was sad.
[15:28] Ars
    Rietz, you're so cool!
[15:28] Ars
    Damn it...
[15:30] Punk A
    This ain't over.

[16:28] Rietz

[16:47] Ars

[16:49] Charlotte
    There are some things I just can't stand.
[16:52] Ars
    Y-You have an amazing talent for magic.
[16:55] Ars
    Is there any way I can
    convince you to join us?
[16:58] Charlotte
    Magic?
[16:59] Charlotte
    I've never used magic.
[17:01] Ars
    That's okay! I can just tell!
[17:04] Ars
    And, um...
[17:06] Ars
    If you're stealing purses, that means
    you've had a pretty hard life, right?
[17:12] Ars
    As my retainer, you'd have a salary
    and meals provided!
[17:16] Ars
    It would be a much better life!
[17:19] Ars
    So please—
[17:20] Charlotte
    You sound just like the
    spoiled noble brat you are.
[17:24] Charlotte
    What gives you nobles the right
    to look down on everyone else?
[17:31] Charlotte
    You live in the lap of luxury, so certain
    that you deserve your privileged status.
[17:37] Charlotte
    What have you ever even done?
[17:40] Charlotte
    Weren't you just dealt a lucky hand at birth?
[17:42] Charlotte
    Yet you act like we're so far beneath you...
[17:46] Charlotte
    I have no interest in becoming a
    tool to protect your lavish lifestyle.
[17:50] Ars
    I'm not like those people!
[17:51] Ars
    I want to create a town someday where
    people like you can live stable lives!
[17:56] Ars
    That's why I need your help!
[17:59] Charlotte
    "Someday"?
[18:01] Charlotte
    When's this "someday" coming?
[18:03] Charlotte
    You've always lived the high life,
    so you may not understand,
[18:07] Charlotte
    but people like us spend our days
    in these alleys, sweltering, freezing,
[18:12] Charlotte
    never knowing where our
    next meal is coming from.
[18:15] Charlotte
    We can't wait for "someday."
[18:18] Charlotte
    Be your retainer?
[18:20] Charlotte
    So you can show everyone what
    a great, kind person you are?
[18:23] Charlotte
    How stupid do you think I am?
[18:25] Charlotte
    I'm not here to help you
    feel better about yourself.
[18:30] Rietz
    I understand that you're suffering.
[18:32] Ars
    Rietz...
[18:33] Rietz
    But I still can't approve of theft.
[18:37] Rietz
    Return Lord Ars's purse.
[18:41] Charlotte
    Well, you did save me and all.
[18:43] Charlotte
    I don't want to owe you.
[18:48] Ars
    Um...
[18:49] Ars
    Just who were those people?
[18:55] Charlotte
    A slave trader's lackeys.
[18:57] Charlotte
    I got caught sneaking into a noble's larder
[19:00] Charlotte
    and was sold off to a slave trader.
[19:03] Charlotte
    I managed to give him the slip,
     but then his dumb lackeys came after me.
[19:07] Charlotte
    I'm sure they thought I'd fetch a high price.
[19:11] Charlotte
    I mean, I'm pretty good-looking, right?
[19:16] Ars
    But...
[19:17] Ars
    If you got away, why are you still in this town?
[19:20] Ars
    Shouldn't you try to get farther away?
[19:22] Charlotte
    I can't do that.
[19:24] Ars
    Why not?
[19:25] Orphans
    Charlotte!
[19:26] Charlotte
    Hey, you guys...
[19:26] Orphan A
    Where'd you go?
[19:27] Orphan A
    You were gone for two days! We were worried!
[19:27] Orphan A
    We're hungry!
[19:29] Orphan B
    I missed you!
[19:31] Orphan C
    I'm hungry! I wanna eat!
[19:32] Rietz
    Wh-Who are these children?
[19:34] Charlotte
    They're like me.
    Orphans with no family to turn to,
[19:37] Charlotte
    scraping together a living on the streets.
[19:41] Charlotte
    I can't just run off and leave them behind.
[19:49] Ars
    All right. I won't try to recruit you.
[19:53] Ars
    Rietz, my purse.
[19:55] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[19:57] Ars
    Please, take it.
[20:01] Charlotte
    Still trying to play the good guy?
[20:03] Charlotte
    You offered it willingly, okay?
    Don't expect anything in return.
[20:07] Ars
    I won't.
[20:11] Charlotte
    Weirdo.
[20:18] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[20:21] Ars
    I can't take her away from this.
[20:36] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[20:38] Rietz
    Even in the summer,
    it gets cold here at night.
[20:40] Rietz
    You should come inside.
[20:42] Ars
    Okay.
[20:48] Rietz
    I was in a situation similar to hers.
[20:51] Rietz
    I understand how she feels.
[20:54] Rietz
    This world isn't kind
    to people on the bottom.
[20:58] Rietz
    She's probably faced terrible treatment
    at the hands of nobles in the past.
[21:03] Rietz
    That's why she sees them all as bad people.
[21:08] Rietz
    But you aren't like that.
[21:10] Rietz
    I know that better than anyone.
[21:14] Ars
    At some point, I started taking my
    privileged lifestyle for granted.
[21:19] Ars
    It's no wonder she'd be angry with me.
[21:23] Ars
    I really do want to make a better city,
[21:27] Ars
    but maybe I didn't think it through.
[21:30] Ars
    She was right to say what she did.
[21:34] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[21:37] Orphans
    Charlotte?
[21:39] Orphan A
    Charlotte!
[21:40] Ars
    Is that...
[21:43] Ars
    What's going on?
[21:45] Orphan C
    You're that guy from before.
[21:46] Orphan C
    Charlotte...
[21:48] Orphan C
    They got Charlotte!
[23:25] Ars
    What do we do?
[23:26] Ars
    Charlotte's in real trouble!
[23:29] Rietz
    Don't worry.
[23:30] Rietz
    I know you'll be able to help her, Lord Ars.
[23:32] Ars
    Yes...

    Sure...
[12:47] Ars
    Charlotte?
[12:51] Charlotte
    There's a place I want to go first.
[13:01] Ars
    W-We're not there yet?
[13:03] Ars
    I... I can't take any more...
[13:15] Charlotte
    This is it.
[13:34] Charlotte
    Pretty cool, right?
[13:36] Charlotte
    It's my secret spot.
[13:38] Charlotte
    When I look at it from up here,
[13:40] Charlotte
    all the problems I face in
    that town seem so small.
[13:45] Charlotte
    That's why I come here and just
    take in the view from time to time.
[13:52] Charlotte
    I really like this place.
[13:56] Ars
    Why share it with me?
[14:01] Charlotte
    I've started wondering something.
[14:06] Charlotte
    You said you wanted to build a town where
    even people like me can live stable lives.
[14:13] Charlotte
    Why is that?
[14:18] Ars
    I...
[14:20] Ars
    I like children.
[14:24] Charlotte
    Aren't you a child?
[14:25] Ars
    W-Well, yes, but...
[14:33] Ars
    When you're feeling tired or run-down,
[14:37] Ars
    a child's smile can lift you right up.
[14:41] Ars
    I think it's because a child's
    smile is so full of hope.
[15:02] Sword Child
    Lemme think...
[15:05] Sword Child
    I wanna be a hero!
[15:06] Flower Child
    I wanna be a florist!
[15:08] Bow Child
    I wanna be a hunter!
[15:11] Ars
    Having hope means being excited
    for what the future may bring.
[15:17] Ars
    I believe that excitement holds great power.
[15:21] Ars
    And just like they lifted my spirits,
    I think their smiles are infectious.
[15:24] Ars
    They can get adults
    excited for the future, too.
[15:27] Ars
    "I want to live a better life."
[15:29] Ars
    "I want to try something totally new."
[15:32] Ars
    I think that enthusiasm is what
    makes a city a better place.
[15:41] Ars
    That's part of why I want to make a place
    where children can always have hope.
[15:47] Ars
    I think that's an adult's job.
[15:49] Ars
    It's the responsibility of
    someone who runs a city.
[15:52] Ars
    That's why I want to build a town where
    you can live hopeful, stable lives.
[16:05] Ars
    S-Sorry to sound like I'm lecturing you!
[16:08] Ars
    I just want everyone to
    be friends and have fun!
[16:11] Charlotte
    I'll go.
[16:14] Charlotte
    I'll be your retainer.
[16:16] Ars
    What? But what about those kids?
[16:19] Charlotte
    They're the reason.
[16:22] Charlotte
    I want them to have the kind of
    future you're talking about, too.
[16:28] Rietz
    First, let's confirm your talent.
[16:31] Ars
    Where'd you get that magic thingy?
[16:33] Rietz
    I found it on the floor of
    the house we were visiting,
[16:36] Rietz
    so I borrowed it.
[16:41] Rietz
    See if you can use magic.
[16:43] Ars
    Rietz...
[16:44] Rietz
    It's not that I doubt you, Lord Ars.
[16:47] Rietz
    But I want to see for myself
    if you truly have talent.
[16:52] Rietz
    I want to regard you as my comrade
    after seeing what you can do.
[16:55] Charlotte
    I guess that makes sense.
[16:57] Charlotte
    But this is seriously my first time, okay?
[17:00] Charlotte
    I don't even know how
    to cast spells and stuff.
[17:04] Rietz
    I'll teach you.
[17:06] Rietz
    First, take this...
[17:07] Ars
    I don't know a lot about magic, either.
[17:11] Ars
    I've never seen anyone
    with an S-rank aptitude for it.
[17:14] Ars
    I wonder how much power she really has...
[17:17] Rietz
    Lord Ars, she's about to begin.
[17:26] Charlotte
    Forma...
[17:29] Charlotte
    Igni Erupt.
[18:10] Charlotte
    Pretty good, eh?
[18:13] Ars
    A-Amazing!
[18:16] Ars
    You saw that, right, Rietz?!
[18:17] Rietz
    I-I am obliged to acknowledge your talents.
[18:22] Charlotte
    Can I ask just one question?
[18:23] Charlotte
    Being your retainer means I get
    food and a place to stay, right?
[18:27] Ars
    Yes!
[18:28] Ars
    You'll also get a monthly salary,
    though it won't be much.
[18:31] Charlotte
    Yeah?
[18:32] Charlotte
    Could you send all of it
    to help out those children?
[18:37] Charlotte
    They're gonna have trouble
    getting by without me.
[18:40] Charlotte
    All I need is food and a place to live.
[18:43] Ars
    All right, I will. You have my word.
[18:47] Ars
    And if I can say one thing...
[18:50] Ars
    I can't wait to see your future!
[19:00] Charlotte
    I'll do all I can to make
    your dream come true...
[19:04] Charlotte
    Lord Ars.
[19:09] Ars
    Stop that! You don't have to be so formal!
[19:11] Charlotte
    Yeah?
[19:12] Charlotte
    Then I'll just be my usual self.
[19:14] Charlotte
    I'm not good with the fancy talk anyway,
[19:17] Charlotte
    and I am older than you.
[19:19] Ars
    Great!
[19:20] Ars
    Well, we've done what we came here for,
[19:23] Ars
    so let's head home.
[19:24] Ars
    Both Rietz and I are out of money, anyway.
[19:29] Ars
    What's wrong?
[19:31] Charlotte
    Um...
[19:34] Charlotte
    Sorry I took your money.
[19:36] Charlotte
    And thanks for saving me.
[19:40] Ars
    Don't mention it.
[19:42] Ars
    Boy, all that talking made me hungry!
[19:45] Ars
    But I'll just have to deal until I'm home.
[19:48] Charlotte
    My future, huh?
[19:50] Charlotte
    Never thought I'd be playing retainer
    to someone younger than me.
[19:56] Charlotte
    His future's the one I really wanna see.
[20:02] Rietz
    Yes, indeed.
[20:09] Ars
    Rietz and now Charlotte...
[20:11] Ars
    I've found two dependable allies.
[20:15] Ars
    House Louvent is undoubtedly
    more powerful now,
[20:19] Ars
    but to be honest,
    I'm feeling a lot of pressure.
[20:23] Ars
    I'm surrounded by all these amazing people,
[20:26] Ars
    but as their leader,
    I'm completely ordinary.
[20:33] Ars
    Can I really do this?
[20:36] Ars
    If I screw up, will I be
    betraying their hopes for me?
[20:42] Ars
    Still, I made a promise.
[20:45] Ars
    I'll do all I can to build a great town!
[20:57] Rietz
    You'll have to start by learning
    basic manners and speech, I suppose.
[21:03] Charlotte
    Sounds boring. And impossible.
[21:04] Rietz
    Don't say it's impossible.
[21:07] Rietz
    You'll need to learn if you're
    to accompany Lord Ars at meals.
[21:11] Rietz
    If your deportment ends up
    disgracing the Louvent name...
[21:12] Charlotte
    Sheesh, I'm tired.
[21:15] Charlotte
    I'm taking a nap, Ars.
[21:16] Rietz
    That's Lord Ars!
[21:19] Ars
    L-Let's all do our best.
[21:26] Raven
    Unacceptable.
[21:27] Raven
    The battlefield is too dangerous for a woman.
[21:30] Ars
    Charlotte.
[21:32] Ars
    Show Father what you can do.
[21:37] Charlotte
    Forma Igni Erupt.
[21:44] Raven
    Glad to have you.
[21:46] Charlotte
    Uh...
[21:47] Charlotte
    Right.
[23:25] Ars
    Will Charlotte really fit in at our house?
[23:28] Rietz
    I'm more worried she'll
    make trouble for others.
[23:31] Ars
    At least the mansion's nice and lively now!
[23:33] Rietz
    And as the days go by, I think
    we'll find a new talented ally!

[03:31] Ars
    Charlotte!
[03:32] Ars
    Some excellent prospects
    have moved into the forest,
[03:35] Ars
    so we're going to meet them!
[03:38] Charlotte
    I'll come along as your escort.
[03:40] Charlotte
    I'm off duty today.
[03:44] Ars
    I said we could all go together...
[03:47] Ars
    But I wasn't expecting this.
[03:49] Charlotte
    Can't we go any faster?
[03:52] Rietz
    It's your own fault that you can't ride.
[03:54] Rietz
    You're weighing us down.
[03:56] Charlotte
    That's not true!
[03:58] Charlotte
    Me and Ars combined don't weigh
    what a single adult would!
[04:01] Charlotte
    Maybe you should get off and run.
[04:03] Rietz
    You get off. You're the one who
    insisted on coming. Shameless girl.
[04:07] Charlotte
    I'm escorting Ars.
[04:09] Rietz
    I told you I could handle that myself.
[04:11] Charlotte
    I'm way better suited to protecting him!
[04:13] Charlotte
    Unlike you, I have real
    battle accomplishments.
[04:15] Rietz
    I've been fighting on battlefields
    since I was younger than you are.
[04:19] Rietz
    I'd be more than your match out there.
[04:22] Rietz
    I will protect Lord Ars.
[04:23] Charlotte
    No, I'll protect him.
[04:25] Ars
    Why is looking for new comrades
    breaking up the ones I already have?
[04:38] Marcus
    That puts me back in the lead!
[04:40] Gatos
    Nice work. Now it's my turn!

    They appear to be hunters.

    A-rank potential for infantry,

[05:09] Gatos
    Er... what brings you to this forest?

    You came all the way out here,
     and this is all I have to offer...
[05:26] Greg
    I'm so sorry!
[05:27] Ars
    N-No, we're the ones who dropped in on you...

    That's good stuff! What kind of meat is this?

[08:29] Rietz
    I can't help but feel like I've seen this before.
[08:34] Greg
    I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid
    he's unlikely to accept.
[08:38] Greg
    Compared to Gatos and Marcus,
    he's quite frail and timid.
[08:42] Greg
    His mother passed two years ago,
[08:45] Greg
    and he's been so withdrawn ever since.
[08:49] Greg
    By his age, the son of a hunter should be
    chopping wood and training with a bow,
[08:55] Greg
    but he'd struggle just to survive,
    much less go to war.
[08:59] Greg
    He would only cause trouble for His Lordship.
[09:02] Ars
    Sir, Rosell's talents aren't for
    being a soldier like his brothers.
[09:08] Ars
    They're talents of the mind—of a strategist.
[09:11] Greg
    A strategist?
[09:13] Greg
    Well, he has always been rather
    clever and well-spoken...
[09:17] Ars
    I believe his incredible intelligence
    will be vital to our cause.
[09:22] Greg
    Really?
[09:23] Ars
    I'm going to ask him again.
[09:25] Greg
    Wait—
[09:28] Ars
    Excuse me.
[09:32] Ars
    S-Sorry!
[09:33] Ars
    I didn't mean to startle you.
[09:36] Ars
    I wanted to apologize for what I said...
[09:40] Ars
    Do you like books?
[09:42] Rosell
    Y-Yeah.
[09:45] Rosell
    Though this is the only one we have...
[09:47] Rosell
    My mom read it to me all the time.
[09:51] Ars
    Really?
[09:54] Rosell
    I'm awful at everything...
[09:57] Rosell
    But when I'm reading, I can forget
    all the bad things around me.

[10:07] Ars
    Would you like to come visit our library?
[10:10] Rosell
    Are there... lots of books there?
[10:13] Ars
    Yep!
[10:14] Ars
    And you can take as many as you like.
[10:17] Rosell
    I know what you're after!
[10:18] Rosell
    Once I take the books, you're
    gonna force me to do what you say!
[10:22] Ars
    No, of course not!
[10:24] Ars
    I just thought you might enjoy it,
    since you love books so much.
[10:29] Rosell
    Well, if there's really no catch,
    then I guess I'll go.
[10:34] Ars
    Thank you!
[10:35] Rosell

[11:11] Both
    Great!
[11:12] Rosell
    You're leaving me here?! Come back!
[11:13] Ars
    Rosell, come join me in the library.
[11:20] Ars
    Incredible, right?
[11:22] Ars
    We have a copy of every book in Missian!
[11:31] Ars
    Go on. Read as much as you'd like.
[11:35] Ars
    I've got my daily lessons,
    so I'll leave you to it for a bit.
[11:38] Ars
    If you have any trouble, just ask Rietz!
[11:48] Ars

[11:52] Ars
    Rietz! Is Rosell still here?
[11:55] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[11:57] Rietz
    He was so frantically reading
    as many books as possible,
[12:00] Rietz
    he tired himself out and fell asleep.
[12:03] Rietz
    When I taught him words he didn't know,
     he grasped them instantly,
[12:06] Rietz
    and was able to reason from there
    to deepen his understanding further.

    Excuse us.
[12:22] Gatos
    Rosell, it's time to go—
[12:26] Gatos
    Wow, he's asleep?
[12:29] Gatos
    Sheesh, the kid can't even read.
    What about this does he enjoy?
[12:33] Ars
    Wait a minute. He can't read?
[12:36] Gatos
    Yeah. Our late mother read to him,
[12:39] Gatos
    but hunters like us don't need to read,
[12:42] Gatos
    so we never learned.
[12:46] Rosell
    Huh?
[12:48] Rosell
    What are you guys doing here?
[12:50] Ars
    Rosell, how did you learn to read?
[12:55] Rosell
    Um...
[12:56] Rosell
    I remembered Mom reading
    to me when I was little,
[13:02] Rosell
    and I tried matching what she
    said to the words on the page.
[13:05] Rosell
    Eventually, I was able to read it.
[13:07] Gatos
    "Eventually"?
[13:09] Gatos
    You were only three back then.
[13:11] Rosell
    I remember most of what's
    happened since I was born.
[13:16] Ars
    He learned how to read on his own?
[13:19] Ars
    I can't let a talent like this go to waste...
[13:24] Ars
    Rosell's gifts are the real deal.
[13:27] Ars
    How can I explain that to the Kischas?
[13:31] Rietz
    If we could show Greg and Rosell that
    there are ways to hunt without a bow,
[13:38] Rietz
    it may give him confidence.
[13:41] Ars
    Without a bow?
[13:44] Gatos
    A trap?
[13:45] Ars
    Yes.
[13:46] Ars
    I know that archery is the primary
    hunting method in this area,
[13:49] Ars
    but hunting with traps is
    popular on other continents.
[13:53] Rosell
    I-I read about that in a book!
[13:55] Gatos
    But suws are fast and smart animals.
[13:59] Marcus
    If it's so easy to trap them,
    we're better off catching them ourselves.
[14:04] Ars
    Are you sure about that?
[14:08] Ars
    Rosell, strength and stamina
    aren't a person's only weapons.
[14:12] Ars
    Yours is your brain!
[14:15] Ars
    If you use that to create a trap,
    I'm sure your father will acknowledge you.
[14:19] Ars
    Do you want to try with me?
[14:22] Rosell
    B-But... there's no way I could...
[14:27] Gatos
    Give it a try, Rosell.
[14:28] Marcus
    We'll help you in any way we can.
[14:31] Marcus
    Give Pops and us the shock of our lives.
[14:34] Rosell
    Big Brother...
[14:36] Rosell
    I'll try it.
[14:38] Rosell
    I want to be useful to you all.
[14:45] Greg
    What is this?
[14:48] Marcus
    Pops!
[14:49] Marcus
    Look inside!
[14:54] Gatos
    Incredible, right?
[14:56] Gatos
    It's a trap Rosell made.
[14:59] Marcus
    Rosell.
[15:00] Rosell
    I've been thinking for a while...
[15:03] Rosell
    If my brothers ever got their
    wish to become soldiers,
[15:07] Rosell
    you'd have to do the hunting all on your own.
[15:11] Rosell
    So...
[15:14] Rosell
    I read that suws have a tendency
    to charge anything yellow.
[15:18] Rosell
    So I used a fence painted
    yellow to lure them in.
[15:23] Rosell
    It's a trap no human would fall for,
[15:25] Rosell
    but one anybody could use
    to easily trap suws.
[15:28] Gatos
    And that's not all!
[15:30] Gatos
    Look!
[15:32] Greg
    Herbs?
[15:33] Rosell
    I-I read that in a book, too.
[15:36] Rosell
    Baby suws and nursing mothers
     hate the smell of herbs.
[15:42] Rosell
    So I strung herbs around outside
    to keep mothers and babies out.
[15:47] Rosell
    And I made little exits the babies
    can use if they do get stuck inside.
[15:53] Rosell
    Suws reproduce quickly,
[15:55] Rosell
    but if you target the young,
    they'll die out eventually.
[15:58] Rosell
    I figured you'd prefer to focus on
    preserving the balance with nature, so...
[16:06] Rosell
    Sorry! I guess I was out of line...
[16:12] Marcus
    Isn't Rosell amazing?
[16:14] Marcus
    He made such a brilliant trap!
[16:17] Gatos
    You have to admit he's got talent.
[16:21] Greg
    Gatos, Marcus.
[16:23] Greg
    You're setting out tomorrow, right?
[16:26] Gatos
    Well, yeah.
[16:28] Gatos
    Take Rosell with you.
[16:31] Rosell
    Dad...
[16:33] Rosell
    W-Wait! I—
[16:34] Greg
    Rosell, leave home.
[16:38] Greg
    Lord Ars.
[16:39] Greg
    Please look after Rosell.
[16:42] Gatos
    Pops!
[16:43] Marcus
    Where's this coming from?
[16:44] Greg
    I'm begging you.
[16:54] Rosell
    I knew it. My dad hates me.
[16:58] Ars
    Wait! Where are you going?
[17:00] Rosell
    He told me to leave home.
[17:02] Rosell
    I can't stay with him anymore.
[17:06] Rosell
    I'll stay with you from now on, Lord Ars.
[17:10] Ars
    No. You need to return home for now.
[17:13] Rosell
    But...
[17:14] Ars
    I'm sure your father has his reasons.
[17:20] Rosell
    Mom started getting sick after I was born.
[17:27] Rosell
    Dad hates me because I'm the reason she died.
[17:34] Rosell
    Mom died because of me.
[17:37] Rosell
    That's what they all think.
[17:40] Rosell
    That's why I shut myself in my room
    on the anniversary of her death.
[17:44] Rosell
    I killed my mom. I can't help my family.
[17:47] Rosell
    I wish I just hadn't been born.
[17:53] Gatos
    Hush. You're gonna wake Rosell.
[17:56] Marcus
    Don't worry. He won't wake up.
[18:00] Gatos
    Pops, thank you for raising us till now.
[18:04] Marcus
    We're going to do you proud as soldiers.
[18:07] Greg
    Say that to the mother who gave birth to you.
[18:11] Trio
    To Mom!
[18:15] Gatos
    Hey, Pops, why'd you talk that way to Rosell?
[18:21] Gatos
    His trap was amazing, wasn't it?
[18:23] Gatos
    And he worked so hard to help you...
[18:25] Greg
    I know that.
[18:29] Greg
    The boy should resent me.
[18:34] Greg
    I failed to see his talent.
[18:38] Greg
    In fact, I was only focused
    on what he couldn't do.
[18:42] Greg
    I was so hard on him.
[18:45] Greg
    Not seeing my own child's potential...
    I'm a failure as a father.
[18:50] Greg
    I want him to spend the rest of his life
    in a place where his talent can shine.
[18:56] Greg
    But he's kind, just like his mother was.
[19:00] Greg
    He's been more worried about me
    than about his own talents.
[19:04] Greg
    The only way to get him to leave is
    to make him hate and resent me.
[19:10] Greg
    It's the only way I can atone
    for what I've done to him!
[19:14] Gatos
    Pops...
[19:15] Greg
    Gatos, Marcus...
[19:17] Greg
    Please support Rosell, as I failed to do.
[19:24] Greg
    Because...
[19:26] Greg
    He's my precious son, just like you two are!
[19:36] Ars
    We've come to escort your sons.
[19:39] Greg
    Lord Ars, please look after my boys.
[19:43] Ars
    Thank you for everything.
[19:45] Marcus
    Pops!
[19:47] Marcus
    We're heading out.
[19:48] Greg
    Good. Give it your best.
[19:50] Rosell

[20:08] Rosell
    That's fine.
[20:25] Rosell
    I could never hate you, Dad!
[20:30] Rosell
    I'm weak, and I'm awful at hunting...
[20:34] Rosell
    I couldn't be of any use here at home...
[20:37] Rosell
    But I'm gonna go to Lord Ars's place,
    and study, and learn all kinds of things
[20:41] Rosell
    to become useful to the village!
[20:44] Rosell
    I'll work to make better traps, too!
[20:47] Rosell

[20:54] Greg

[21:13] Marcus

[21:21] Ars
    It's true that he has amazing talent.
[21:24] Ars
    I really would love to have him.
[21:27] Ars
    But all that aside, they matter
    to me as people of our domain.
[21:32] Ars

    Given the current state of things, I must.
[00:23] Ars
    A year ago, the governor of Missian
    collapsed from a terrible illness.
[00:28] Ars
    In his will, the governor named his
    younger son, Vasmarque, his successor.
[00:33] Ars
    But the elder brother, Couran, insisted
    his brother had forged the document.
[00:40] Ars
    Couran, long considered the lesser son,
[00:43] Ars
    had been making a name
    for himself in battle,
[00:46] Ars
    so quite a few retainers began to believe he
    should inherit the throne according to custom.
[00:52] Ars
    The province of Missian
    has thus been torn asunder,
[00:56] Ars
    split between those supporting the elder
    brother and those supporting the younger.
[01:01] Ars
    Taking advantage of the situation,
[01:03] Ars
    the neighboring Province of Seitz

[07:03] Charlotte
    Rosell, what do you make of the girl?
[07:05] Rosell
    She's very beautiful and well-mannered.
[07:09] Rosell
    But she kind of... scares me.
[07:12] Charlotte
    You've got good instincts, kiddo.
[07:15] Charlotte
    I feel the same way.
[07:16] Charlotte
    That girl smells dangerous.
[07:19] Licia
    Let us go!
[07:20] Ars
    R-Right!
[07:23] Charlotte
    Very dangerous.
[07:23] Rosell
    Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
[07:31] Child
    Hey, it's Lord Ars!
[07:33] Lady A
    Oh? And who might this be?
[07:34] Ars
    Good day to you!
[07:36] Ars
    And this is...
[07:37] Ars
    My betrothed, Licia.
[07:41] Lady A
    My, how delightful!
[07:44] Lady A
    We must tell the others!
[07:45] Lady B
    And throw a celebration!
[07:47] Ars
    I can't tell them she might
    be a threat to our domain...
[07:51] Wholesaler
    I told you, that's not what you said!
[07:53] Merchant
    I never ordered that crap!
[07:57] Ars
    What's going on here?
[07:59] Lady C
    It appears to be a dispute
    over a magistone order.
[08:03] Lady C
    The furniture maker
    ordered flame magistones,
[08:06] Lady C
    but the wholesaler brought sound magistones.
[08:10] Lady C
    That's what you get for only
     making a verbal agreement.
[08:14] Ars
    I-I see...
[08:16] Ars
    As the next lord of these lands,
    I should try to settle this.
[08:20] Ars
    But if I fail...
[08:21] Licia
    What an incompetent boob!
[08:24] Licia
    Lamberg is as good as mine!
[08:26] Ars
    I can't afford to fail!
[08:28] Charlotte
    Well, listen to that.
[08:31] Charlotte
    A fight, is it?
[08:32] Ars
    Charlotte?!
[08:34] Charlotte
    How 'bout I stop it for you?
[08:36] Charlotte
    One hit from my magic
    would clear things right up.
[08:40] Licia
    Oh, you mustn't!
[08:42] Charlotte
    Huh? What's your problem?
[08:44] Charlotte
    Butt out, kiddo.
[08:46] Licia
    Wait... Are you the famous
    mage called Charlotte?
[08:50] Charlotte
    And what if I am?
[08:52] Licia
    I'm such a fan of yours!
[08:54] Licia
    Your spells are absolutely divine!
[08:56] Licia
    May I please shake your hand?
[09:00] Charlotte
    W-Well, if you insist...
[09:04] Charlotte
    What's with that look?
[09:06] Rosell
    Oh, nothing.
[09:09] Licia
    Excuse me, Lord Ars.
[09:11] Licia
    Would you perhaps allow me
    to handle this situation?
[09:13] Ars
    What? But...
[09:15] Licia
    And if I do succeed in resolving it,
    would you do me a favor?
[09:20] Ars
    A-A favor?
[09:23] Wholesaler
    You've done it now!
[09:26] Licia
    Pardon me, you two.
[09:28] Licia
    Please don't be so angry. Such rage
    will only ruin your handsome faces.
[09:32] Merchant
    Who...
[09:33] Wholesaler
    Who the heck is this kid?
[09:35] Licia
    I am the betrothed of Lord Ars,
    the next lord of House Louvent.
[09:40] Licia
    My name is Licia Pleide.
[09:42] Licia
    It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[09:44] Both
    His betrothed?!
[09:46] Wholesaler
    Hey, good for him!
[09:47] Merchant
    Nice to see he's got such a pretty young gal.
[09:50] Wholesaler
    Our Lord Ars is growing up!
[09:52] Ars
    Th-Thank you...
[09:55] Licia
    I happened to hear of your plight.
[09:57] Licia
    Sound magistones, was it?
[09:58] Licia
    Would you be willing to
    sell them to House Pleide?
[10:01] Licia
    We're unable to mine sound
    magistones in our territory.
[10:05] Licia
    We consider them quite precious.
[10:06] Licia
    I'm willing to offer quite
    a high price for them.
[10:09] Licia
    Meanwhile, we have a volcano from which
     we mine many flame magistones.
[10:14] Licia
    We could sell you our excess
    for a very reasonable price.
[10:17] Licia
    Wouldn't that just solve everything?
[10:19] Licia
    At least...
[10:20] Licia
    That's what Lord Ars suggested.
[10:24] Merchant
    Lord Ars...
[10:26] Merchant
    You're willing to help us
    even with petty disputes?
[10:29] Merchant
    That's fantastic!
[10:30] Wholesaler
    Brilliant! That's our future lord!
[10:35] Ars
    I'd like to make one request to prevent
    such things from happening again.
[10:39] Ars
    Even when negotiating between friends,
    please write up a contract.
[10:43] Wholesaler
    Yeah, I'm so sorry.
    It's just such a pain sometimes...
[10:46] Ars
    I know.
[10:48] Ars
    But let's all do our best!
[10:50] Ars
    Thank you so much, Licia.
    You were a huge help.
[10:53] Licia
    I'm just glad to see everyone's settled down.
[10:57] Ars
    Her diplomacy is definitely next-level.
[11:04] Ars
    I'm sorry to make you walk around so much.
[11:07] Licia
    Not at all!
[11:08] Licia
    I learned so much, so it was time well spent!
[11:12] Charlotte
    I admit you did okay back there,
    but that doesn't mean I accept you.
[11:17] Charlotte
    What's this "betrothed" crap, anyway?
[11:20] Charlotte
    Must think you're pretty hot...
[11:25] Licia
    Lord Ars?
[11:27] Licia
    That favor I mentioned earlier...
    May I share it with you now?
[11:31] Ars
    Here it comes!
[11:32] Licia
    I'd like to ask you a question.
    Will you answer me truthfully?
[11:36] Ars
    Of course!
[11:38] Licia
    What sort of person do you like?
[11:43] Ars
    What kind of question is that?
[11:46] Ars
    I don't know...
[11:47] Ars
    I can't figure out what she's after!
[11:52] Ars
    No, she's too smart. I can't outthink her.
[11:59] Ars
    So I'll just have to meet her head-on!
[12:03] Ars
    I... I...
[12:05] Ars
    I like people who speak their minds
     and hide nothing from me!
[12:16] Licia
    Very well. I'll keep that in mind.

[12:28] Ars
    That evening, we ate an extravagant
    meal Rietz prepared for us,
[12:33] Ars
    and Charlotte put on an amazing magic
    display that everyone enjoyed.
[12:41] Ars
    I never did manage to find
    out what Licia was after...
[12:45] Ars
    She's staying the night, though,
    so I'll pick up again tomorrow.
[12:55] Licia
    Please keep quiet!
[12:58] Ars
    Er, are you aware this is my room?
[13:00] Ars
    If you got the wrong room...
[13:02] Licia
    I didn't.
[13:03] Licia
    I had someone show me the way to your room,
[13:05] Licia
    then I slipped out later.
[13:08] Ars
    But why?!
[13:09] Licia
    To see the look of shock upon your face!
[13:12] Ars
    She's totally messing with me.
[13:15] Licia
    On our way home today, did you not say
    you prefer girls who speak their minds?
[13:20] Ars
    I did.
[13:22] Licia
    So I came here hoping to have
     an honest conversation.
[13:30] Ars
    Alone in a room with a girl at night...
[13:33] Licia
    Thank you for the tea.
[13:33] Ars
    What should I do?
[13:36] Licia
    It's quite delicious.
[13:38] Ars
    S-So, what did you want to talk about?
[13:42] Licia
    I wish to know what you think of me.
[13:46] Ars
    Wh-What do you mean?
[13:49] Licia
    I have a special talent for telling how
    people feel just by looking at them,
[13:54] Licia
    even if they're trying to hide it.
[13:59] Licia
    The emotion you conveyed
    when you first saw me...
[14:02] Licia
    was suspicion.
[14:04] Licia
    Entirely understandable,
    as we'd only just met.
[14:08] Licia
    But I pride myself on my ability to put people
    at ease with a few minutes' conversation.
[14:15] Licia
    And yet everything I did only seemed
    to deepen your suspicions of me.
[14:19] Licia
    Then in the end, you said that you
    wished to know my true feelings.
[14:26] Licia
    What is it about me that you distrust?
[14:31] Ars
    Her observational skills
    are really something else.
[14:35] Ars
    Maybe that's been making her feel uneasy.
[14:38] Ars
    She probably never dreamed someone
    would be able to see her stats...
[14:42] Ars
    I could probably just dodge
    the question. But...
[14:46] Ars
    Licia.
[14:49] Ars
    I have the ability to see a person's
    abilities, aptitudes, and level of ambition.
[14:55] Ars
    You have an incredible talent for diplomacy
[14:56] sign
    Diplomacy 77/100
[14:58] Ars
    and far more ambition than most people.
[14:58] sign
    Ambition
[15:01] Ars
    It inclines me to think that your
    actions are entirely calculated,
[15:04] Ars
    and that you have some
    kind of ulterior motive.
[15:09] Ars
    I mean, I don't know if you'll
    believe me, of course...
[15:12] Licia
    A-Ambition for what?
[15:14] Licia
    I don't doubt you in the slightest.
[15:16] Licia
    In fact, that explains everything
    about your behavior.
[15:19] Ars
    You really believe me?
[15:21] Licia
    Yes.
[15:23] Licia
    It is true that I have ambition.
[15:27] Ars
    Wh-What is it you're after?
[15:31] Licia
    Must I say it?
[15:34] Licia
    The only ambition a woman might have
[15:37] Licia
    is for an amazing man to fall
    in love with her at first sight.
[15:47] Licia
    Please, say something!
[15:49] Ars
    Th-That's wonderful!
[15:51] Ars
    Oh, shoot!
[15:53] Ars
    Her statement and expression were
    both so cute, I ended up staring...
[15:57] Ars
    But she's right.
[15:59] Ars
    The best path to survival for a lord's
    daughter is to marry a powerful man.
[16:05] Ars
    Which means being betrothed to the lord of a
    weak domain, like me, must be less than ideal.
[16:12] Licia
    For the first time, I can tell
    exactly what you're thinking.
[16:17] Licia
    It's true that House Louvent's
    territory is quite small.
[16:21] Licia
    If you'd proven yourself to be an oaf,
[16:23] Licia
    I'd have done whatever was necessary
    to break off our engagement.
[16:28] Licia
    But spending time with you
    today changed my mind.
[16:33] Licia
    I believe I do wish to marry you, Lord Ars.
[16:38] Ars
    B-But why?
[16:39] Ars
    The fact remains my territory is small, so...
[16:43] Licia
    It's only small for now.
[16:45] Licia
    You have great promise, Lord Ars.
[16:48] Licia
    The events of today confirmed for me that
    House Louvent will prosper in the future.
[16:53] Ars
    I'm just surrounded by amazing people...
[16:56] Ars
    They're always doing so much for me.
[16:59] Licia
    That's precisely what I mean.
[17:03] Licia
    The people of Lamberg truly adore you.
[17:07] Licia
    When I introduced myself as your betrothed,
[17:10] Licia
    I could tell that they were as happy for you
    as they would be for their own family.
[17:15] Licia
    It made me realize...
[17:17] Licia
    You're loved for who you are,
    without even trying for it.
[17:21] Licia
    That may be the most important
    ability in a lord.
[17:27] Licia
    I've come to love you just as deeply
    as the people of Lamberg do.
[17:34] Ars
    Th-Thank you...
[17:38] Licia
    I should return to my room now.
[17:41] Licia
    Goodnight!
[17:51] Ars
    That was the stupidest response possible!
[17:54] Ars
    Who the heck says "thank you" to that?!
[17:56] Ars
    For the first time,
    a girl told me she loves me...
[18:00] Ars
    Who'd have thought her ambition
    would be something so charming?
[18:04] Ars
    And she did honestly speak her mind with me.
[18:08] Ars
    She didn't even question my Appraisal skill.
[18:13] Licia
    O-Oh, what a foolish thing I've done!
[18:18] Licia
    Sneaking into a gentleman's bedroom?
    How utterly disgraceful!
[18:21] Licia
    And then I fled in sheer embarrassment...
[18:25] Licia
    My face must have been as red as could be!
[18:29] Licia
    But...
[18:36] Licia
    This is the first time I've told
    someone how I truly feel.
[18:48] Licia
    The world of nobility is an awful place.
[18:51] Licia
    Everyone lies.
    No one says what they really think.
[18:54] Licia
    They don't hesitate to take others down
    to ensure their own position or power.
[18:59] Licia
    I always hated my ability to sense
    such sentiments among them.
[19:06] Licia
    Until one day...
[19:08] (Flashback) Madam A
    She used to be the lowliest of nobility.
[19:12] (Flashback) Madam B
    And now she's married her way above even us!
[19:17] Licia
    If a strong man with political power
    falls in love with you at first sight,
[19:21] Licia
    you can escape this awful world
    of scheming and plotting!
[19:25] Licia
    From the moment I realized that,
[19:27] Licia
    I started to treasure this ability
    I previously hated so much.
[19:33] Licia
    I'd already seen the worst,
[19:35] Licia
    so I learned to say things I didn't mean.
[19:38] Licia
    I initially had no interest in marrying
    into the minor House Louvent.
[19:45] Licia
    I needed to wed into one much stronger.
[19:48] Licia
    My intention was simply to make a good
    impression and form a favorable bond.
[19:54] Licia
    And yet... not only did I fail,
    I even made him suspicious.
[19:59] Licia
    Despite my best attempts at conversation,
[20:02] Licia
    despite repeated uses of my killer smile,
[20:05] Licia
    his suspicions only deepened.
[20:07] Licia
    I couldn't tell what he was thinking, either.
[20:11] Licia
    But...
[20:12] (Flashback) Ars
    Er...
[20:13] (Flashback) Ars
    The roads in Lamberg aren't the best.
[20:15] (Flashback) Ars
    It must be hard to walk in those shoes.
[20:17] (Flashback) Licia
    No, it's quite all right.
[20:19] (Flashback) Ars
    Hold on just a minute!
[20:23] (Flashback) Ars
    Take this.
[20:24] (Flashback) Ars
    This salve will help if you get any blisters.
[20:27] (Flashback) Ars
    You might not need it,
    but take it just in case you do.
[20:32] Licia
    Lord Ars is kind.
[20:35] Licia
    His kindness is boundless,
    not tied to anyone's rank or position.
[20:41] Licia
    The people of his domain treat him
    as they would their own families.
[20:46] Licia
    Ah... what a beautiful world that is!
[20:50] Licia
    I want to be a part of it!
[20:53] Licia
    I'm enchanted by him.
[20:59] Licia
    Then I told him how I really felt,
    and he accepted me just as I am...
[21:06] Licia
    Oh, God, I truly am grateful
    to you for giving me this power!
[21:11] Licia
    I finally know how to use it!
[21:14] Licia
    Lord Ars is strong and able.
[21:18] Licia
    But I'm sure his kindness
    will lead him into trouble.
[21:22] Licia
    That's why I want to stay right by his side,
[21:26] Licia
    and should anyone hinder the
    beautiful world he's building...
[21:29] Licia
    I'll crush every single one of them!
[21:33] Jean
    L-Lady Licia?
[21:38] Ars
    After Licia left, we
    began exchanging letters.
[21:43] Ars
    I've never had a pen pal,
    so I'm always so nervous when writing her.
[21:48] Ars
    Dear Licia. Have you been well?
[21:51] Ars
    I was glad to hear the flower
    seeds I gave you are growing.
[21:55] Ars
    I'm sure they'll blossom
    beautifully by next spring.
[22:00] (Flashback) Ars
    These are flowers that bloom here.
[22:03] (Flashback) Ars
    You said they were beautiful, so...
[22:05] (Flashback) Licia
    Why, thank you so much!
[22:08] (Flashback) Licia
    You truly are kind, Lord Ars.
[22:11] (Flashback) Ars
    No, not at all!
[22:13] (Flashback) Licia
    You still haven't responded
    to my declaration of love.
[22:17] (Flashback) Ars
    Oh, well, er...
[22:19] (Flashback) Licia
    You need not do so immediately.
[22:23] (Flashback) Licia
    I'll do my best so that you fall
    in love with me at first sight.
[22:26] (Flashback) Ars
    E-Er, I—
[22:28] (Flashback) Licia
    But I've made up my mind
    to marry you, Lord Ars.
[22:39] Ars
    There have been fewer skirmishes lately,
    and life has been quite peaceful.
[22:44] Ars
    The succession dispute over the Missian
    governorship has reached a lull for now.
[22:50] Ars
    Also, something wonderful has happened!
[22:53] Ars
    My father's illness has abated somewhat.
[22:57] Ars
    It could be because he's less
    worried about going to war.
[22:59] Ars
    He may be able to walk
    around the gardens soon.
[23:03] Ars
    I hope I can introduce you
    to him properly next time.
[23:05] Ars
    Perhaps over a meal...
[23:09] Ars
    The next time we meet, I will tell you.
[23:14] Ars
    I think I want to marry you, too, Licia.
[23:18] Ars
    I wish life could remain
    this peaceful forever.
[23:25] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[23:26] Ars
    Rietz... That's a rather unnerving expression.
[23:29] Rietz
    I'm afraid you'll be facing
     a rather difficult trial.
[23:33] Rietz
    But I have faith that you can overcome it.

[02:34] Raven
    I heard the governor of
    Missian was assassinated.
[02:38] Raven
    Rosell, what do you expect to happen next?
[02:43] Rosell
    A terrible war will occur very soon.
[02:49] Raven
    I see.
[02:50] Raven
    With the governor gone, the succession
    dispute will finally reach its boiling point.
[02:57] Raven
    The heads of each district in
    Missian will be forced to side
[03:01] Raven
    with either the elder brother, Couran,
    or the younger, Vasmarque.
[03:07] Raven
    The head of Canarre District, Lord Lumeire,
    will likely choose the elder brother, Couran.
[03:13] Raven
    When he does, Lamberg will follow.
[03:18] Raven
    Is that understood?

[03:33] Ars
    Father!
[03:37] Rietz
    A letter has arrived from Lord Lumeire.
[03:41] Ars
    He wants us to gather at
    Castle Canarre in three days' time.
[03:46] Rietz
    With Lord Raven indisposed,
[03:48] Rietz
    Charlotte and I will go—
[03:50] Ars
    No.
[03:51] Ars
    This time...
[03:52] Ars
    I'll be going.

[04:11] Ars
    Yes.
[04:12] Ars
    The head of the vast territory
    of Canarre District...
[04:17] Ars
    What kind of man is he?
[04:20] Ars
    Let's go.
[04:34] Ars
    I am Ars Louvent.
[04:36] Ars
    I've come on behalf of my father, Raven,
[04:38] Ars
    in response to Lord Lumeire's summons.
[04:41] Guard
    The invitation looks genuine.
[04:43] Guard
    But a child such as yourself...
    Are you really from House Louvent?
[04:47] Charlotte
    Got your doubts, do ya?
[04:48] Guard
    Wait, are you...
[04:51] Guard
    Louvent's Lady of Flames?!
[04:53] Charlotte
    Took you that long to realize, huh?
[04:55] Ars
    Wow, Charlotte... She really is famous!
[05:01] Guard
    And you're... the Reaper of Louvent?!
[05:04] Ars
    Wh-What's with that horrific nickname?
[05:06] Ars
    What's he done on the battlefield?!
[05:08] Rietz
    I care not for that name.
[05:10] Rietz
    It makes me sound terribly dangerous.
[05:15] Ars
    There's no denying that part...
[05:17] Ars
    Well, anyway...
[05:19] Ars
    This proves I'm from House Louvent, right?
[05:21] Guard
    Y-Yes!
[05:32] Charlotte
    Hey, don't go getting nervous on us now.
[05:34] Ars
    I'm sorry.
[05:36] Menas
    Welcome to Castle Canarre.
[05:38] Ars
    Who might you be?
[05:40] Menas
    Do pardon me.
[05:42] Menas
    I serve the headman of
    Canarre District, Lord Lumeire.
[05:46] Menas
    My name is Menas Renard.
[05:48] Ars
    I-It's a pleasure to meet you!
[05:50] Ars
    I'm Ars Louvent.
[05:52] Ars
    I've come on my father's behalf.
[05:55] Menas
    Lord Raven really has taken ill, then?
[05:58] Ars
    Yes.
[05:59] Menas
    I see.

[06:21] Menas
    We'd love to have them in our service.
[06:24] Menas
    We offer a good life here at the castle.

    I appreciate the offer, but I've sworn
    loyalty for life to House Louvent.
[06:36] Charlotte
    What he said.
[06:38] Menas
    That's a true shame.
[06:41] Menas

[09:11] Lumeire
    I was determined that you should
    hear this directly from me.
[09:16] Lumeire
    The governor's assassination
    will inevitably lead to war.
[09:21] Lumeire
    In the succession conflict, we of Canarre
    District will support the elder son, Couran.
[09:27] Lumeire
    My feelings on this remain unchanged.
[09:30] Ars
    Just as Father thought, then.
[09:34] Lumeire
    Are there any objections?
[09:35] Krall/Hammond
    No, sir.
[09:37] Ars
    I have no objections, either!
[09:39] Lumeire
    All right.
[09:41] Lumeire
    There are rumors that the
    province of Seitz intends
[09:43] Lumeire
    to capitalize on the situation
    and renew their assault.
[09:46] Lumeire
    Please ready your forces
    for the conflict to come.
[09:51] Trio

[09:52] Lumeire

    Increase troop drills starting tomorrow.
[10:01] Charlotte
    Ars?
[10:03] Rietz
    It's over now.
[10:07] Ars
    I was so nervous!
[10:11] Lumeire
    Ars.
[10:12] Ars
    Yes?!
[10:14] Ars
    L-Lord Lumeire!
[10:16] Ars
    P-P-Please forgive my poor manners!
[10:18] Lumeire
    Now, now. I heard about Raven.
[10:21] Lumeire
    He certainly needs his rest for now.
[10:24] Ars
    Yes... We appreciate your consideration.
[10:27] Lumeire
    Lamberg is a small domain,
    even within Canarre.
[10:31] Lumeire
    But lately, it has demonstrated
    strength that belies its size.
[10:36] Lumeire
    It's magnificent to see you acting as your
    father's proxy at the mere age of eleven.
[10:42] Lumeire
    I have high hopes for House Louvent.
[10:45] Ars
    I-I'll do my best!
[10:46] Lumeire
    The same goes for you two.
[10:48] Rietz
    Sir!
[10:49] Charlotte
    Leave it to us.
[10:53] Rietz
    We have a lot to live up to.
[10:56] Charlotte
    You said it.
[10:57] Ars
    That's true.
[10:59] Ars
    Let's prepare as best we can.
[11:01] Hammond
    Young Ars!
[11:02] Ars
    Yes?
[11:04] Ars
    I-It's the guy who was glaring at me earlier!
[11:06] Hammond
    This is the first time we've
    spoken. I am Hammond.
[11:10] Ars
    Hammond?
[11:11] Ars
    Hammond Pleide, lord of
    the domain of Torbequista!
[11:15] Ars

[11:16] sign
    Lord of Torbequista
    Hammond Pleide
[11:16] Ars
    Licia's father!
[11:18] Ars
    E-Er... can I help you?
[11:21] Hammond
    My daughter's been distraught of late.
[11:24] Hammond
    She seems dissatisfied
    with your correspondence.
[11:28] Ars
    Wh-What could I have done wrong?
[11:31] Ars
    I'll apologize at once!
[11:33] Hammond
    Young Ars...
[11:34] Hammond
    Have you been responding
    properly to Licia's letters?
[11:39] Ars
    Come to think of it,
    I was writing a reply to her
[11:42] Ars
    when my father collapsed and
    the governor was assassinated.
[11:46] Ars
    It might have been a few days...
[11:48] Ars
    I-I've been unable to write her back.
[11:50] Hammond
    That won't do at all.
[11:52] Ars
    Forgive me.
[11:53] Ars
    I'll write to her the moment I'm home.
[11:56] Hammond
    My daughter, usually so
    poised and self-possessed,
[12:00] Hammond
    has begun to express her feelings openly.
[12:03] Hammond
    She must care for you quite deeply.
[12:06] Ars
    W-Well, I...
[12:08] Hammond
    She's always kept a tight
    rein on her emotions.
[12:13] Hammond
    Licia is a very bright and obedient girl.
[12:18] Hammond
    I let myself take advantage of that.
[12:20] Hammond
    I left her to her own devices as I
    prioritized domestic and military affairs.
[12:24] Hammond
    Things must have been very lonely for her...
[12:28] Hammond
    My domain has been host to many
    ugly conflicts between nobles.
[12:32] Hammond
    My daughter's undoubtedly been aware of them,
    and I'm sure it's been hard for her.
[12:38] Hammond
    All the more reason I want
    her to find happiness.
[12:43] Hammond
    The fault is largely my own,
    yet I turned my anger on you.
[12:48] Hammond
    I'm the lord of a domain, yet I grow
    unforgiving when it comes to my daughter.
[12:52] Hammond
    Forgive me.
[12:54] Hammond
    Raven is a brave and powerful warrior.
[12:57] Hammond
    I thought that my daughter would
    be safe with any son of his,
[13:01] Hammond
    and so I agreed to the betrothal.
[13:05] Hammond
    Please, look after my daughter.
[13:07] Ars
    Oh, please, you needn't bow to me...
[13:13] Ars
    I understand.
[13:14] Ars
    I will do everything in my
    power to make her happy.
[13:18] Hammond
    I won't forget you said that.
[13:21] Hammond
    Make sure you say it to Licia, as well.
[13:26] Ars
    I thought he was kind of scary...
[13:29] Ars
    But I guess he really cares about Licia.
[13:34] Raven
    So Lord Lumeire is taking
    Lord Couran's side after all?
[13:38] Ars
    Yes.
[13:40] Raven
    Still, for you to answer his
    summons without telling me...
[13:45] Ars
    Wait, is he mad I ran off—
[13:51] Raven
    Well done.
[13:52] Raven
    I'd thought you were still too much
    of a child, but you did very well.
[13:57] Ars
    Thank you!
[14:01] Ars
    Dear Licia...
[14:04] Ars
    How are you doing?
[14:05] Ars
    Things have been so eventful lately
    that a reply slipped my mind.
[14:10] Ars
    I beg your forgiveness.
[14:12] Ars
    I met Lord Hammond for
    the first time the other day.
[14:17] Ars
    He's a fine man, and I can
    tell he cares about you.
[14:21] Ars
    Please give him my regards.
[14:26] Ars
    The situation is quite fraught,
    with war on the horizon.
[14:30] Ars
    I hope the houses of Louvent and Pleide
    can work together to overcome this.
[14:37] Ars
    I hope Licia's okay.
[14:40] Ars
    If even I'm nervous, she might be terrified...
[14:46] Ars
    I made a promise to Lord Hammond.
[14:48] Ars
    I've got to win this war and protect Licia!
[14:56] Rietz
    I-I'm sorry! Are you all right?
[14:59] Ars
    Don't be sorry. I need to be able to take
    at least that much if I'm to go into battle.
[15:03] Ars
    Please come at me harder.
[15:05] Rietz
    But we've been training all day.
[15:09] Rietz
    Shouldn't you take a break?
[15:11] Ars
    I'm fine.
[15:12] Ars
    Please!
[15:14] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[15:23] Rietz
    The others are training,
    getting stronger and stronger.
[15:26] Rietz
    I haven't improved at all.
[15:30] Rietz
    Earlier, I led our troops in a mock battle,
[15:35] Rietz
    and it was a total failure.
[15:38] Rietz
    I've read about warfare,
    but I have no real experience with it.
[15:43] Rietz
    And above all...
[15:46] Rietz
    When I have real soldiers
    charging at me, I always flinch.
[15:51] Rietz
    I'm sure on the battlefield, Rietz and
    Charlotte will be there to support me.
[15:56] Rietz
    But if I can't stand strong on the field,
    it will make everyone else uneasy.
[16:03] Rietz
    No matter how skilled they all might be,
    it means nothing without firm leadership.
[16:09] Rietz
    And yet I—
[16:10] Rosell
    L-Lord Ars!
[16:12] Rosell
    The province of Seitz is
    dispatching forces to Coumeire.
[16:18] Rosell
    Lord Lumeire sent a letter asking
    us to take the field at once.
[16:23] Ars
    Coumeire... That's Krall's domain.
[16:27] Rietz
    If the province of Seitz is invading Missian,
[16:30] Rietz
    we have few options in how we respond.
[16:33] Rietz
    Our proximity to Seitz will make
    it our problem soon enough.
[16:40] Rietz
    If Coumeire is invaded,
[16:43] Rietz
    the even smaller domain of Lamberg
    will be marched on in no time.
[16:48] Ars
    Father's in no condition to go to battle.
[16:52] Ars
    Which means I have to go myself.
[17:00] Ars
    Very well. We'll send our troops.
[17:03] Ars
    I will lead them.
[17:07] Ars
    Gather everyone here in the mansion.
[17:10] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[17:11] Rietz
    Your mere presence will give us courage.
[17:15] Rietz
    I'll be there.
[17:17] Rietz
    I swear I'll make your first
    engagement a victorious one.
[17:26] Ars
    I'll be leading you all into battle
    to protect Canarre District!
[17:30] Ars
    I—
[17:31] Raven
    Wait.
[17:36] Ars
    Father!
[17:38] Raven
    Ars, I cannot let you take
    the battlefield just yet.
[17:43] Raven
    I will lead them this time.
[17:46] Ars
    But Father, you're in no condition to go to war.
[17:50] Raven
    And I would not regret dying in the
    service of Canarre District—of Lamberg.
[17:58] Rietz
    Lord Raven. Lord Ars is—
[18:00] Raven
    Rietz.
[18:02] Raven
    Stay out of this.
[18:06] Rietz
    Forgive me, my lord.
[18:07] Ars
    Father.
[18:09] Ars
    It's true that I'm weak.
[18:11] Ars
    But Rietz and Charlotte will be with me.
[18:14] Ars
    I will return victorious!
[18:16] Raven
    That's not the issue.
[18:18] Raven
    Ars, you don't yet have the face of a warrior.
[18:27] Ars
    The face... of a warrior?
[18:30] Raven
    It seems you don't understand
    what that means, either.
[18:33] Raven
    Gullar.
[18:35] Raven
    Bring that man from the dungeon.
[18:37] Raven
    We'll do it now.
[18:38] Gullar
    S-Sir!
[18:46] Ars
    Who is that?
[18:47] Raven
    His name is Barramorda.
[18:52] Raven
    Murder, rape, theft...
[18:55] Raven
    He's a monster who's committed
    many heinous crimes.
[18:58] Raven
    My illness has delayed his execution,
[19:02] Raven
    but we shall carry it out now.
[19:04] Raven
    You stand there and watch.
[19:08] Raven
    If you can watch him die without losing
    your composure, I'll acknowledge you as a man
[19:14] Raven
    and allow you to take command in this battle.
[19:17] Ars
    Watch a man die without losing my composure?
[19:23] Ars
    I've never seen anyone killed before...
[19:28] Barramorda
    I've seen plenty of executions myself.
[19:32] Barramorda
    I liked killing little kids like you the best!
[19:37] Barramorda
    The moment that fear fills
    your innocent little eyes...
[19:42] Barramorda
    It's delectable.
[19:48] Raven
    Begin the execution of the criminal Barramorda,
     in the name of Raven Louvent!
[20:33] Raven
    It's nothing to be ashamed of.
[20:36] Raven
    Everyone reacts that way the first time.
[20:38] Raven
    Even I did.
[20:40] Raven
    On the battlefield, you will
    witness death constantly.
[20:45] Raven
    Someone shaken by a single death
     cannot handle command.
[20:51] Raven
    I'll go this time.
[20:54] Raven
    With me, men! To battle!
[21:05] Charlotte
    Ars!
[21:06] Raven
    You three.
[21:09] Raven
    We're moving out.
[21:37] Ars
    I didn't understand anything.
[21:39] Ars
    I wasn't ready to go to war at all.
[21:45] Ars
    I really am a child!
[23:26] Rosell
    I hope Lord Ars is okay.
[23:28] Charlotte
    I tend to forget, but he's
    just an eleven-year-old kid.
[23:32] Rietz
    That's right. Speaking of...

[03:18] Rietz
    But it caught up with him the moment
    the fighting was over, and he collapsed.
[03:22] Rietz
    The long campaign on top of his already
    failing health has taken its toll.
[03:29] Ars
    Then this is my fault for forcing him to go.
[03:32] Rosell
    O-Of course it isn't!
[03:34] Rietz
    He was already in poor health.
[03:37] Rietz
    You are not to blame, Lord Ars.
[03:39] Ars
    I appreciate your kind words.
[03:42] Ars
    If Father's condition changes,
    please let me know.
[03:44] Rietz
    Where are you going?
[03:46] Ars
    More training.
[03:47] Rietz
    Now?
[03:49] Rietz
    But it's already so late.
[03:50] Ars
    I don't mind.
[03:54] Rosell
    You think Lord Ars is okay?
[03:57] Charlotte
    The guys who stayed behind filled me in.
[03:59] Charlotte
    Apparently he's thrown himself
    headlong into daily training.
[04:06] Charlotte
    Hope he doesn't wind up bedridden, too.
[04:11] Charlotte
    Who could it be at this hour?
[04:13] Licia
    I'm terribly sorry to intrude like this.
[04:15] Licia
    Is Lord Ars at home?
[04:17] Jean
    Truly, please pardon the imposition.
[04:20] Rietz
    Lady Licia?
[04:21] Rietz
    What's the matter?
[04:22] Licia
    I can't apologize enough
    for arriving at this hour.
[04:24] Licia
    But I've grown terribly concerned
    about Lord Ars, and I...
[04:30] Licia
    He and I have been
    exchanging correspondence.
[04:35] Licia
    He's always written so warmly,
    conveying such honest emotion.
[04:40] Licia
    But I've sensed a change in his letters
    since the recent conflict started.
[04:45] Licia
    On the surface, they're no different, but...
[04:48] Licia
    How shall I put it?
    He seems almost... distant.
[04:52] Licia
    His letters lack the emotion
     they once expressed.
[04:56] Licia
    Has something happened to him?
[05:01] Rietz
    Lady Licia, I beg you not to take offense.
[05:04] Rietz
    He has his reasons—
[05:05] Licia
    I am not offended! I'm worried!
[05:09] Licia
    Please, tell me what's going on!
[05:13] Charlotte
    Go on, Rietz. Tell her.
[05:15] Rosell
    Rietz...
[05:17] Rietz
    Very well.
[05:20] Licia
    An execution?
[05:22] Charlotte
    Yeah.
[05:23] Rietz
    Lord Ars is struggling with feelings
    of inadequacy for staying home,
[05:28] Rietz
    and even more so, guilt that he may have
    exacerbated Lord Raven's condition.
[05:35] Licia
    How deplorable of me.
[05:37] Licia
    I call myself his betrothed, yet I was
    unable to help Lord Ars in his time of need.
[05:45] Licia
    May I ask where I could
    find Lord Ars right now?
[05:56] Millais
    Are you all right?!
[05:58] Ars
    I-I'm fine.
[06:06] Licia
    Lord A—
[06:09] Millais
    Lord Ars, you can't physically
    handle any more training.
[06:12] Millais
    Let's resume tomorrow.
[06:14] Ars
    No. Let's keep going.
[06:17] Ars
    My father fought bravely
    in even worse shape.
[06:22] Ars
    I want to be able to protect everyone, too!
[06:30] Rietz
    Lady Licia? Didn't you
    wish to speak with him?
[06:35] Licia
    Now is not the time for me to reach out.
[06:39] Alice
    Lord Raven has regained consciousness!
[06:42] Rietz
    Has he?
[06:44] Rosell
    I'm so glad!
[06:46] Rosell
    I'll let Lord Ars know at once!
[06:49] Alice
    Wait!
[06:50] Alice
    He wishes to speak with
    the three of you first.
[07:01] Raven
    You're here?
[07:04] Raven
    It seems I collapsed and
    caused you trouble again.
[07:06] Raven
    I am much obliged.
[07:11] Charlotte
    Sheesh, never seen the guy like this.
[07:13] Charlotte
    Did passing out send him off his rocker?
[07:15] Rosell
    Charlotte!
[07:16] Raven
    It's all right.
[07:17] Raven
    I'm not speaking to you
    as your lord right now.
[07:21] Rietz
    What do you mean by that?
[07:24] Raven
    How do you like your lives here?
[07:29] Rietz
    It's like heaven compared to my life before.
[07:33] Rosell
    I-I really enjoy mine!
[07:36] Charlotte
    This is pretty much home to me.
[07:38] Raven
    I see.
[07:40] Raven
    I called you here because there's
    something I must tell you.
[07:46] Raven
    I am not long for this world.
[07:49] Rietz
    That can't be—
[07:50] Raven
    I know my body better than anyone.
[07:54] Raven
    So please, let me say this while I still can.
[08:00] Raven
    I didn't know what to make of you
    when Ars first brought you here.
[08:05] Raven
    Rietz, you're a Malkan.
    Charlotte, you're a woman.
[08:08] Raven
    Rosell, you were only five years old.
[08:12] Raven
    Yet you've all become pillars
     upholding our domain.
[08:20] Raven
    I'm grateful you came to House Louvent.
[08:22] Raven
    I'm proud of all of you.
[08:28] Raven
    I have a favor to ask.
[08:30] Raven
    It concerns Ars, of course.
[08:34] Raven
    He is not yet strong enough
    for the battlefield.
[08:39] Raven
    Thrusting the lordship upon
    him now is a cruel thing.
[08:44] Raven
    Standing at death's doorstep makes a
    man realize how much he's left undone.
[08:49] Raven
    I should have taken him to the
    battlefield while I was still well,
[08:53] Raven
    and taught him the harsh realities of the world
    while I could still protect him from them.
[08:59] Raven
    But now it's too late.
[09:02] Raven
    I beg you. I want you three to support Ars.
[09:07] Raven
    I ask you not as a lord,
[09:10] Raven
    but as a father!
[09:13] Raven
    I know I'm far from objective, but he's
    a kind boy, beloved by our people.
[09:19] Raven
    And, as you've proven, he has the
    ability to see the potential in others.
[09:24] Raven
    I'm proud to call him my son!
[09:26] Raven
    Please!
[09:30] Rosell
    I-If not for Lord Ars,
[09:33] Rosell
    I would have been criticized forever
[09:35] Rosell
    and never reached an understanding
    with my family.
[09:39] Rosell
    I want to study more and more to help
    Lord Ars, who gave me confidence!
[09:47] Charlotte
    I don't know much about the domain stuff,
[09:50] Charlotte
    but I want the future he's trying to achieve.
[09:55] Charlotte
    Ars is the one who gave my life meaning.
[09:59] Charlotte
    You didn't even have to ask.
[10:01] Charlotte
    I wouldn't serve anyone else.
[10:04] Rietz
    I feel the same way.
[10:06] Rietz
    Should anyone stand in Lord Ars's way,
[10:08] Rietz
    I will fight until I'm the last man standing.
[10:12] Rietz
    I swear to fight for Lord Ars,
     even if it kills me.
[10:16] Raven
    None of that, now.
[10:18] Raven
    Stay alive and protect Ars.
[10:20] Rietz
    Lord Raven...
[10:24] Rietz
    For taking all of us in...
[10:27] Rietz/Rosell/Charlotte
    We thank you!
[10:32] Raven
    Indeed.
[10:34] Rietz
    Lord Raven, might I make one request?
[10:43] Rietz
    Lady Licia, Lord Raven
    wishes to speak with you.
[10:47] Rietz
    Go on in.
[10:50] Licia
    Thank you.
[10:55] Licia
    Pardon me.
[11:02] Licia
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Raven.
[11:04] Licia
    My name is Licia Pleide.
[11:07] Licia
    I'm sorry we had to meet in this manner.
[11:12] Raven
    No, I must apologize for
    seeing you in this condition.
[11:17] Raven
    Do you remember the first time we met?
[11:22] Licia
    We've met before?
[11:24] Raven
    Yes. You see, I was the one who
    requested your engagement to Ars.
[11:33] Raven
    When I first saw you, I thought
    you an overly precocious child.
[11:40] (Flashback) Boy
    I'm hungry!
[11:41] (Flashback) Licia
    You can eat later.
[11:43] (Flashback) Licia
    Be good for now, okay?
[11:48] Raven
    But I soon realized you had
    a deep kindness within you.
[11:53] Raven
    I remember thinking I wanted
    someone like you by Ars's side.
[12:00] Licia
    Lord Raven...
[12:02] Raven
    Licia, House Louvent's territory is small,
[12:06] Raven
    and my son may prove unreliable, but...
[12:08] Licia
    Not at all!
[12:10] Licia
    It's true that Lord Ars's kindness
    can make him vulnerable.
[12:14] Licia
    But...
[12:18] Licia
    He's trying desperately to overcome
    that! To become more like you!
[12:25] Raven
    I see. You've fallen in love with Ars, then?
[12:34] Licia
    Yes. With all my heart.
[12:37] Raven
    Thank you.

[12:52] Licia
    All of you...
[12:54] Licia
    Lord Raven wishes to see Lord Ars.
[12:59] Rietz
    Very well.
[13:02] Licia
    Um... Rietz?
[13:06] Licia
    I am grateful for your kindness.
[13:08] Rietz
    It was nothing.
[13:49] Ars
    Father! I heard you'd regained consciousness.
[13:52] Ars
    What a relief! Are you feeling better?
[13:54] Raven
    Yes. I'm sorry to summon you at this hour.
[13:58] Ars
    Actually, while you were off fighting,
    I did all kinds of research on your illness.
[14:05] Ars
    There are herbal remedies I'd like to try.
[14:07] Ars
    I also heard tell of a skilled doctor
     in a neighboring province.
[14:11] Ars
    Once you recover—
[14:13] Raven
    You really have grown.
[14:17] Raven
    I must have been your age when I
    first decided to become a warrior.
[14:23] Raven
    I wasn't born in Lamberg, but a remote
    farming village in Missian Province.
[14:30] Raven
    The lord there was a tyrant
    who taxed us mercilessly.
[14:34] Raven
    The people were forced to live in poverty.
[14:39] Raven
    Unable to bear it, I ran away from home
    and fled to the city when I was ten.
[14:46] Raven
    The day I arrived, the governor
    of Missian happened to be visiting.
[14:52] Raven
    I'm not sure why. The local lord
    was holding a party, perhaps.
[14:57] Raven
    My memories of that time are vague,
    but there's one thing I recall clearly.
[15:03] Raven
    The bearing and grandeur of the
    governor sent my heart racing.
[15:09] Raven
    I resolved to become the kind of man
[15:12] Raven
    who could be governor and lead many soldiers.
[15:17] Raven
    I studied the sword on my own
     and became a soldier.
[15:22] Raven
    I fought with all my heart,
    was recognized for my deeds,
[15:26] Raven
    and was appointed by Lord Lumeire.
[15:29] Raven
    The next thing I knew, I had my own domain.
[15:33] Raven
    Time really does fly.
[15:36] Raven
    My retainers, my citizens, my family...
[15:39] Raven
    Everyone who lives in Lamberg
    is a treasure in my eyes.
[15:44] Raven
    I've devoted my life to protecting them.
[15:48] Ars
    Are you all right?!
[15:51] Raven
    Ars...
[15:53] Raven
    I understand you feel
    responsible for my condition.
[15:58] Raven
    You aren't.
[16:00] Raven
    This is how I chose to live!
[16:04] Raven
    You don't need to feel responsible.
    Not in the slightest.
[16:10] Ars
    Father...
[16:12] Ars
    I...
[16:14] Raven
    Ars.
[16:16] Raven
    Take care of them for me.
[16:18] Raven
    Please...
[16:33] Ars
    I will.
[16:35] Raven
    I see more readiness in your face now.
[16:38] Raven
    I suppose being my son has been
     a great burden for you.
[16:42] Ars
    Not at all.
[16:44] Ars
    I'm glad to be your son.
[16:49] Raven
    Listen to you, sounding like a man.
[16:53] Raven
    How are things going with Licia?
[16:57] Raven
    She's a force to be reckoned with.
[16:59] Raven
    That's her mother's blood in action,
     more than Hammond's.
[17:02] Ars
    Oh, that's right! Are you
    close with Lord Hammond?
[17:06] Raven
    Yes.
[17:07] Raven
    I was about sixteen when Lord Lumeire
    ordered the two of us to have a mock battle.
[17:14] Ars
    A mock battle?
[17:16] Raven
    He was a funny one.
[17:18] Raven
    During the battle, you see...
[17:22] Ars
    We ended up talking all through the night.

[18:21] Ars
    My father taught me many things.
[18:25] Ars
    He was an incredible man.
[18:28] Ars
    I spoke with him at length
    last night, before he passed on.
[18:34] Ars
    He entrusted Lamberg—all of you—to my care.
[18:43] Ars
    I'm not as strong as my father.
[18:46] Ars
    But...
[18:48] Ars
    Just as he did, I swear to care
    about you more than anyone,
[18:52] Ars

    You have plenty of time to grow and mature.

    Don't push yourself too hard.

[03:12] Lumeire

[03:14] Lumeire
    Menas, please elucidate.
[03:16] Menas
    My lord.
[03:18] Menas
    The capital of Missian Province, Arcantez,
[03:22] Menas
    is currently occupied by the
    younger brother, Lord Vasmarque.
[03:26] Menas
    He holds soldiers and resources
    in greater numbers than ours,
[03:29] Menas
    but his older brother controls
     the trading city of Semplar,
[03:33] Menas
    which gives us economic superiority.
[03:37] Menas
    The power of these cities is roughly even,
[03:39] Menas
    meaning the loyalties of the surrounding
    districts will be a major deciding factor.

    Perreina
[03:55] Menas
    Perreina is a minor domain
    with only a small military,
[03:59] Menas
    but the shortest route we can take
    to attack Arcantez runs through it.
[04:05] Lumeire
    In other words, without
    Perreina under our control,
[04:08] Lumeire
    we can't run efficient
    supply lines to the front,
[04:11] Lumeire
    increasing the likelihood
    that we'll lose the war.
[04:15] Lumeire
    We'd hoped to bring them to our
    side without pointless fighting,
[04:19] Lumeire
    but their refusal to yield
    has forced our hand.
[04:23] Lumeire
    We will subjugate Perreina.
[04:32] Ars
    Excuse me.
[04:33] Lumeire
    Yes?
[04:34] Ars
    Would you allow us to try our
    own measures in Perreina first?
[04:41] Lumeire
    What exactly do you mean?
[04:43] Ars
    Well...

[04:49] (Flashback) Rosell
    Something seems off.
[04:52] (Flashback) Charlotte
    What does?
[04:54] (Flashback) Rosell
    If they're so vulnerable to an attack from us,
[04:57] (Flashback) Rosell
    why are they digging their heels in like this?
[05:02] (Flashback) Rosell
    I think there's more to this
    than meets the eye.
[05:06] (Flashback) Rietz
    I feel the same way.
[05:09] (Flashback) Ars
    What do you think it is?
[05:10] (Flashback) Rosell
    I don't know.
[05:12] (Flashback) Rosell
    But attacking before we find out could
    leave us in for a rude awakening.
[05:18] (Flashback) Rosell
    I think we need to uncover
    the full situation first.
[05:22] (Flashback) Ars
    I see...
[05:24] (Flashback) Ars
    But how do we get that information?
[05:28] (Flashback) Rietz
    Why not hire mercenaries?
[05:30] (Flashback) Ars
    Mercenaries?
[05:32] (Flashback) Rietz
    There's a mercenary band called "Shadow"
    that excels in information gathering.
[05:37] (Flashback) Rietz
    The rumors say they're
    frighteningly good at it.
[05:41] (Flashback) Ars
    Can you get us in contact with them?
[05:45] (Flashback) Rietz
    I'll try.
[05:46] (Flashback) Rosell
    Er, if I may make a suggestion...
[05:49] (Flashback) Rosell
    If the topic of the council
    is the subjugation of Perreina,
[05:52] (Flashback) Rosell
    could you propose that
    we handle it ourselves?
[05:56] (Flashback) Ars
    All right. We'll try it!
[06:00] Ars
    It's strange that they refuse to yield
    despite being surrounded by enemies.
[06:06] Ars
    Finding the reason for their stance
    should illuminate a better approach.
[06:15] Lumeire
    Very well.
[06:16] Lumeire
    I'll give you time to investigate.
[06:19] Ars
    Thank you, my lord.
[06:26] Ars
    That was nerve-racking!
[06:28] Rietz
    It's over now, Lord Ars.
    You were magnificent.
[06:32] Charlotte
    Sheesh, why do these council
    things always take so long?

    Charlotte!
[06:41] Orphan C
    It's been forever!
[06:42] Orphan B
    How have you been?
[06:44] Charlotte
    Hey, look how big you guys have gotten!
[06:51] Orphan C
    You're still doing your job, right?
[06:53] Charlotte
    You bet I am.
[06:54] Charlotte
    Look, I brought some smoked suw.
[06:56] Charlotte
    You guys share it around, okay?
[06:58] Orphans
    I love this stuff!
[07:00] Governess
    Lord Ars.
[07:02] Governess
    It's been such a long time.
[07:05] Ars
    It's good to see you all again.
[07:09] Ars
    We arrived at the orphanage I had built.
[07:13] Ars
    Since I trust the ladies here,
[07:15] Ars
    I had asked them to take in the kids
    Charlotte was looking after.
[07:20] Ars
    I also asked them to give a home
    to as many orphaned children
[07:24] Ars
    they found in the alleys
    as they possibly could.
[07:26] Orphan
    Yeah, I'm way taller now!
[07:30] Ars
    Those kids are almost old enough
    to leave the nest themselves.
[07:33] Charlotte
    So what's new with you guys these days?
[07:38] Orphan C
    I'm gonna take the test to
    join Lord Lumeire's army!
[07:42] Orphan B
    I want to work as a maid in Castle Canarre!
[07:46] Orphan A
    I've got a job at the bakery
    on the main thoroughfare.
[07:50] Orphan D
    I love growing vegetables,
[07:53] Orphan D
    so I'd like to help on a farm in Lamberg.
[07:56] Charlotte
    Oh, yeah?
[07:58] Orphan C
    Thank you so much, Lord Ars.
[08:00] Orphan C
    You really changed our lives.
[08:03] Ars
    It wasn't just me.
[08:05] Ars
    Charlotte sends most of her salary
    to this place for you guys.
[08:14] Orphan C
    Thank you, Charlotte!
[08:20] Orphan C
    Well, later!
[08:21] Orphan B
    We'll work hard!
[08:22] Orphan A
    Thanks for the meat!
[08:24] Orphan D
    See you again!
[08:26] Charlotte
    I'd thought about taking 'em
    to Lamberg with me at first,
[08:31] Charlotte
    but letting 'em stay here
    was the right call.
[08:34] Ars
    Though Lamberg is beautiful
     and a great place to live,
[08:39] Ars
    I figured living in a big city would
    provide them with more opportunities.
[08:45] Ars
    Children should see lots of
    things, learn lots of things,
[08:48] Ars
    and choose their lives for themselves.
[08:53] Charlotte
    You said it.
[08:55] Licia
    Lord Ars!
[08:56] Licia
    It's been so long!
[08:58] Ars
    Licia?!
[08:59] Ars
    What are you doing here?
[09:01] Licia
    We accompanied my father to Castle Canarre,
[09:04] Licia
    and when I heard that you'd be here,
[09:07] Licia
    I decided to pay a visit!
[09:09] Ars
    I'm delighted to see you...
[09:13] Ars
    But you didn't have to come all this way.
[09:15] Ars
    Wh-What do I do? I'm not
    mentally prepared to face her...
[09:20] Licia
    Oh, my!
[09:24] Licia
    What a truly joyous place!
[09:27] Licia
    Happiness just follows you
    wherever you go, doesn't it?
[09:33] Ars
    Licia...
[09:39] Ars
    I-I'm sorry!
[09:40] Ars
    I'll buy you a new dress at once!
[09:43] Licia
    My, we're having fun, aren't we?
[09:51] Licia
    Would you mind terribly
    if I joined your game?
[09:56] Licia
    Here I come! I'm going to get you!
[09:58] Jean
    L-Lady Licia!
[10:00] Licia
    Come back here now!
[10:02] Ars
    She really is incredible.
[10:12] Licia
    Lord Ars.
[10:13] Licia
    What might your agenda for tomorrow be?
[10:16] Ars
    I've asked Rietz to put me in touch
    with a mercenary group called Shadow.
[10:21] Ars
    If they agree to meet me,
[10:22] Ars
    I'm going to negotiate with them about a job.
[10:26] Licia
    I see!
[10:27] Licia
    I'd be most interested in hearing more.
[10:30] Licia
    Would you mind if I accompanied you tomorrow?
[10:33] Ars
    N-No, you can't do that!
[10:36] Licia
    Whyever not?
[10:37] Ars
    I-It could be dangerous!
[10:39] Licia
    You'll have your retinue, won't you?
[10:41] Licia
    It's perfectly safe.
[10:42] Ars
    We don't even know if they'll meet with me!
[10:45] Licia
    I have absolute faith in Rietz.
[10:48] Ars
    Very well.
[10:50] Ars
    If they agree to meet, I'll come
    fetch you at your lodgings...
[10:54] Licia
    Oh, I'm staying right here.
[10:58] Rosell
    Is that why Jean had so much luggage?
[11:02] Licia
    I beg your indulgence, Lord Ars.
[11:04] Licia
    I have no means of leaving now.
[11:08] Ars
    Then I'll arrange a room for you.
[11:11] Licia
    Oh?
[11:13] Licia
    I would be more than pleased
    to stay in your room, Lord Ars.
[11:16] Ars
    O-Out of the question!
[11:21] Charlotte
    What's with all the flirting?
[11:23] Ars
    Oh, we're really not...
[11:25] Licia
    Honestly, Lord Ars!
[11:27] Licia
    There's no need to be shy!
[11:27] Rietz
    Lord Ar—
[11:28] Rietz

[11:29] Licia
    Join me in bed, won't you?
[11:31] Charlotte
    No way! You're sleeping with me, darn it!
[11:33] Licia
    Heavens, no! Lord Ars must stay with me!
[11:37] Charlotte
    Gimme a break!
[11:37] Rosell
    Are all women this pushy?
[11:41] Charlotte
    Hey! You're sleeping with us, too.
[11:43] Rosell
    No!
[11:46] Rosell
    Help me, Rietz!
[11:48] Rietz
    I'm sorry, Rosell.

[11:50] Rosell

[12:06] Charlotte
    Didja sleep good?
[12:09] Ars
    Good morning...
[12:14] Rosell
    I didn't sleep a wink.
[12:16] Ars
    Me, either.
[12:18] Rietz

[12:42] Orphan C
    We might be gone by the
    next time you're here,
[12:46] Orphan C

[12:48] Charlotte
    Sure thing. I can't wait to see it.
[12:50] Charlotte
    Later, guys!
[12:50] Orphans
    Bye-bye!
[12:52] Ars
    See you again!
[12:57] Ars
    Charlotte's in a great mood, huh?
[13:00] Rietz
    She certainly is.
[13:02] Ars
    Where are we meeting the members of Shadow?
[13:06] Rietz
    A bar on the outskirts of town.
[13:08] Ars
    I'm impressed you were able to reach them.
[13:11] Rietz
    A member of my old mercenary
    group had a contact.
[13:14] Rietz
    I wasn't at all confident,
    but I'm glad it worked out.
[13:19] Ars
    You mean mercenary organizations
    sometimes give work to other groups?
[13:24] Rietz
    It's because we all have
    different specialties.
[13:26] Rietz
    My group primarily did front-line combat.
[13:30] Rietz
    Shadow specializes more in covert work.
[13:35] Ars
    Covert work?
[13:37] Rietz
    Intelligence, espionage...
    sometimes even assassination.
[13:42] Ars
    A-Assassination?!
[13:44] Ars
    These people are scary as heck!
[13:47] Rietz
    There's just one thing that concerns me.
[13:50] Rietz
    I've heard Shadow's former leader stepped down
    and was replaced by someone rather young.
[13:56] Ars
    So you're worried they're not as good?
[14:00] Rietz
    The opposite.
[14:01] Rietz
    The new leader is extremely competent,
[14:04] Rietz
    and Shadow is far more capable
    than it's ever been.
[14:09] Licia
    A young and brilliant leader, then?
[14:12] Licia
    That's very admirable!
[14:13] Ars
    Y-Yes, it is!
[14:15] Ars
    But then what's the concern?
[14:18] Rietz
    Apparently the new leader only takes
    jobs that catch their interest.
[14:23] Ars
    What?
[14:24] Ars
    Th-Then we'd better make sure we pay well...
[14:27] Rietz
    Apparently that's not the issue.
[14:29] Rietz
    There's no way of knowing what
    kind of jobs they'll like.
[14:33] Ars
    I see...
[14:35] Ars
    I hope this works out.
[14:37] Ars
    But... Lord Lumeire is counting on me.
[14:40] Ars
    I've got to find a way to get
    Shadow to take the job!
[14:44] Rietz
    This is it.
[14:49] Staff (including Pham)
    Welcome!
[14:52] Hostess A
    Oh, what a little cutie!
[14:54] Hostess B
    We've got juice available.
[14:56] Ars
    R-Right...
[14:57] Owner
    Sorry, but we're full up today.
[15:00] Owner
    Scram.
[15:02] Ars
    What?
[15:02] Ars
    But we're here to meet with someone...
[15:05] Rietz
    No need to worry.
[15:07] Rietz
    Soon, the light will fade.
    The time of shadows is upon is.
[15:14] Owner
    Looks like a table just opened up.
[15:16] Owner
    Take the farthest one in the back.
[15:22] Rietz
    Isn't that great?
[15:25] Ars
    Was that like a code phrase?
[15:28] Ars
    So awesome!
[15:29] Licia
    Come along, Lord Ars.
[15:33] Charlotte
    Sheesh, I'm starvin'!
[15:39] Charlotte
    What's with these bozos?
[15:40] Charlotte
    Don't they know it's rude to stare?
[15:42] Charlotte
    You mind if I roast 'em?
[15:43] Rietz
    No roasting.
[15:45] Charlotte
    Fine.
[15:46] Charlotte
    Anyway, let's put in an order.
[15:48] Rietz
    Yes, let's.
[15:49] Charlotte
    'Scuse me!
[15:51] Rietz
    I wonder what their leader might be like.
[15:54] Ars
    Yeah...
[15:58] Ars
    Shadow specializes in gathering information.
[16:01] Ars
    They probably investigate not just
    their targets, but their clients, too.
[16:06] Ars
    Which means their leader might
    be here right now, watching us...
[16:10] Charlotte
    Ars!
[16:12] Charlotte
    Ars!
[16:13] Charlotte
    Don't keep the pretty lady waiting.
[16:16] Ars
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[16:18] Ars
    Um, let's see...
[16:20] Ars
    I'd like the fruit juice—
[16:30] Pham
    Is something the matter?
[16:35] Ars
    N-No, it's nothing...
[16:38] Ars
    I'd like a juice, please.
[16:40] Pham
    Coming right up!

[17:23] Pham
    How did you know I'm the leader of Shadow?
[17:29] Pham
    Talk.
[17:35] Ars
    Rietz!
[17:40] Rietz
    Do you realize what you're doing, and to whom?
[17:43] Pham
    What a surprise.
[17:45] Pham
    I thought he was just some spoiled rich kid,
     but he managed to call an ally?
[17:49] Pham
    I didn't see him do it.
    Was it some kind of magic?
[17:53] Ars
    Nope! I dunno how he's here, either!
[17:56] Licia
    You really mustn't underestimate Lord Ars.
[17:59] Ars
    L-Licia?!
[18:02] Licia
    Gracious me. Drawing a blade
    on Lord Ars like that...
[18:07] Licia
    After such a rude display,
    you're behooved to accept his request...
[18:13] Licia
    Aren't you, boss?
[18:16] Ars
    How did she know?
[18:17] Pham
    And if I refuse?
[18:19] Pham
    Kind of hard for me to do my
    job if my identity gets out.
[18:23] Pham
    I could pull out all my tricks,
    kill the rich boy, and flee.
[18:28] Ars
    K-Kill me?!
[18:31] Licia
    I'm afraid you wouldn't stand
     the slightest chance.
[18:34] Licia
    With Rietz here, you'd struggle
    just to escape with your life.
[18:41] Licia
    Though I'm sure you've already realized that.
[18:48] Ars
    They're totally negotiating without me...
[18:51] Pham
    And if I still refuse your job?
[18:53] Licia
    You see, boss, I am quite cross.
[18:57] Licia
    Earlier, you suggested you'd kill Lord Ars.
[19:01] Licia
    Were you to do such a thing...
[19:04] Licia
    I would pursue you to the furthest
    reaches of the world and end you.
[19:08] Ars
    She's terrifying!
[19:16] Pham
    Goodness me. What a scary little rich girl.
[19:19] Pham
    Okay, I apologize for my rudeness.
[19:22] Pham
    Sorry, kid.
[19:23] Licia
    You won't get a second chance.
[19:26] Pham
    But before we go further,
    answer the question I asked you.
[19:30] Pham
    How did you know who I am?
[19:32] Pham
    I thought my disguise was pretty perfect.
[19:36] Ars
    I have an Appraisal skill that allows me
    to perceive the abilities of others.
[19:42] Pham
    Hard to take you on your word there.
[19:44] Pham
    I'm gonna need a bit more than that.
[19:46] Ars
    I suppose you would.
[19:48] Ars
    What can I do to make you believe me, Mazak?
[19:53] Pham
    That's not my name.
[19:56] Pham
    I threw it away a long time ago.
[19:59] Pham
    I go by Pham now.
[20:01] Pham
    Still, if you can even tell my name,
    your power's about my worst nightmare.
[20:07] Pham
    Okay. I like you, kid.
[20:09] Pham
    I'll take your job.
[20:12] Pham
    I'd rather not die just yet, see?
[20:15] Ars
    I'm happy to hear that...
[20:17] Ars
    But are you sure?
     I haven't told you about it yet.
[20:20] Ars
    And you barely know anything about me...
[20:22] Pham
    No need for all that.
[20:24] Pham
    I can easily see one's caliber based on
    who they surround themselves with.
[20:28] Pham
    This Malkan's pretty darn tough,
[20:32] Pham
    and this girl, intimidating beyond her years,
    seems to admire the heck out of you.
[20:38] Licia
    Gracious!
[20:39] Pham
    Gotta bet on a winning horse.
[20:42] Pham
    We can talk in the back.
[20:45] Ars
    Th-Thank you very much!
[20:48] Rietz
    Lady Licia, thank you for
    what you did back there.
[20:50] Licia
    Not at all.
[20:51] Ars
    What did you do?
[20:53] Licia
    Your expression when you saw our "waitress"
    made it clear that was Shadow's boss.
[20:58] Licia
    I discussed it with Rietz,
    and he decided to follow you.

    What?
[21:03] Ars

    have realized it then, too...

    always remain so transparent.

[03:45] Pham

[03:47] Pham
    The investigation was a success.
[03:49] Ars
    Was it? Thank you so much!
[03:53] Pham
    Only natural, since I handled it personally.
[03:57] Ars
    But how did you finish so quickly?
[04:02] Pham
    That's a trade secret.
[04:05] Pham
    Now, let me explain to you why Perreina
    District won't side with Couran.
[04:11] Pham
    I got my hands on something interesting.
[04:13] Pham
    Have a look.
[04:20] Rietz
    It's a pact!
[04:23] Rietz
    It bears the signatures and seals of
    nobles who've sided with Lord Vasmarque.
[04:28] Rietz
    All the signatories would
    have a copy of this, then?
[04:31] Ars
    It includes Perreina's signature and seal.
[04:35] Ars
    But what does it—
[04:38] Rietz
    Is that the mark of Maasa District?
[04:40] Ars
    Where's Maasa District again?
[04:44] Rietz
    It's situated in the west, like us.
[04:47] Rietz
    Maasa District has a large population
[04:49] Rietz
    and one of the continent's
    biggest infantries,
[04:52] Rietz
    on par with that of Missian's
    capital, Arcantez.
[04:55] Rietz
    They'll be a powerful ally
    to whichever side they take.
[05:01] Rietz
    Luckily, Maasa District has chosen
    Lord Couran, as we have.
[05:06] Rietz
    Yet here is the mark of Maasa District
    on a pledge of support for Lord Vasmarque.
[05:12] Ars
    D-Do you think...
[05:14] Rietz
    If this pact is genuine, it means
    that Maasa District has betrayed us.
[05:20] Ars
    B-Betrayed us?
[05:23] Ars
    Why would they do that?
[05:24] Pham
    That I don't know.
[05:26] Rietz
    At this rate, even if we invade Perreina,
[05:26] sign
    Maasa
[05:26] sign
    Perreina
[05:30] Rietz
    Maasa could mobilize and
    undermine our encirclement.
[05:33] Rietz
    Or worse, they could attack
    from behind and take us out.
[05:38] Pham
    That would certainly tip the scale
    wildly in Vasmarque's favor.
[05:42] Pham
    Perreina District has likely determined
    that siding with Couran is a losing prospect.
[05:48] Pham
    Explains why they won't play along.
[05:52] Rietz
    Can you confirm that this pact is genuine?
[05:55] Rietz
    You said it was a trade secret,
[05:58] Rietz
    but it can't be so easy to obtain
    a document of this import.
[06:02] Pham
    I don't share my methods with anyone,
    even my most trusted colleagues.
[06:09] Pham
    But I assure you I found that in
    Castle Perreina, where the headman lives.
[06:21] Rietz
    Understood.
[06:26] Rietz
    Forgive me for doubting you.
[06:29] Pham
    No worries. It's all business.
[06:32] Pham
    That sums up my investigation.
[06:34] Pham
    You can take the pact with you.
[06:37] Ars
    Pham's so cool!
[06:39] Ars
    It must take unbelievable skill to acquire
    something so important in such a short time!
[06:44] Ars
    And he can disguise himself flawlessly
    as a woman! He's a real ninja!
[06:49] Ars
    He's like Hattori Hanzo!
[06:50] Ars
    Oh, let me settle your payment.
[06:53] Pham
    Save your money.
[06:56] Pham
    I was pretty rude to you before, after all.
[06:58] Ars
    But you got us exactly what we asked for.
[07:02] Pham
    Nah. Consider it an apology for the other day...
[07:05] Pham
    and an investment in the future.
[07:11] Ars
    Understood.
[07:12] Ars
    Please let me pay you extra
    for the next job, then.
[07:16] Ars
    I can't thank you enough for this.
[07:19] Pham
    Sure. See you again.
[07:22] Ars
    Rietz, we should inform Lord Lumeire
    of Maasa's betrayal at once.
[07:27] Rietz
    Right!
[07:30] Pham
    I hope it's that simple, anyway.
[07:35] sign
    Castle Canarre
[07:36] Lumeire
    Maasa District is siding
    with Lord Vasmarque?!
[07:40] Lumeire
    Is this pact genuine?
[07:42] Ars
    I have it on good authority that it came
    from the Perreina headman's residence.
[07:47] Lumeire
    I see.
[07:50] Lumeire
    Maasa's headman has always thought
    very highly of Lord Couran.
[07:54] Lumeire
    But if this document is authentic,
[07:57] Lumeire
    getting Perreina on our side
    will be no mean feat.
[08:01] Lumeire
    Menas, take this document to
    Torbequista and Coumeire at once.
[08:06] Menas
    My lord.
[08:07] Lumeire
    Ars, you've done well.
[08:09] Lumeire
    Without you, we'd have found ourselves
    in a grave state of affairs.
[08:16] Lumeire
    I thank you.
[08:17] Ars
    Well, a mercenary leader did all the work...
[08:21] Lumeire
    Still, Perreina is the least
     of our worries now.
[08:26] Lumeire
    I need to consult with Lord Couran.
[08:28] Lumeire
    Ars, I'd like your help, as well.
[08:30] Menas
    Wait a moment.
[08:33] Menas
    There's something amiss with this pact.
[08:37] Lumeire
    There is?
[08:38] Menas
    The signature and seal of
    Maasa District aren't quite right.
[08:43] Menas
    Follow me, please.
[08:46] Menas
    The seal of Maasa's headman
    is a circle inside a hexagon,
[08:49] Menas
    with a pentagram drawn inside that circle.
[08:54] Menas
    Compare these two seals.
[08:57] Menas
    At a glance, it looks correct, but...
[09:00] Ars
    Wait.
[09:02] Menas
    The circle's not as it should be, is it?
[09:06] Menas
    The hexagon looks a bit too small, as well.
[09:09] Menas
    The signature is also a close match,
[09:12] Menas
    but there are discrepancies
    in the handwriting.
[09:14] Menas
    That said, I believe the other
    seals and signatures are genuine.
[09:18] Ars
    Does that mean...
[09:20] Menas
    Maasa District's seal and signature
    on this pact may be a forgery.
[09:26] Lumeire
    I see.
[09:28] Lumeire
    So Perreina was deceived into believing
    that Maasa betrayed us,
[09:32] Lumeire
    thus they've sided with Lord Vasmarque?
[09:37] Lumeire
    Menas has a very discerning eye.
[09:39] Lumeire
    You can take him at his word.
[09:41] Ars
    Menas has a skill like that?

    My Appraisal lets me see stats,
    but it doesn't show me special skills.
[09:51] Ars
    I should try not to assume
    that I'm getting the full picture.
[09:56] Ars
    But why push a lie that
    would eventually come to light?
[10:00] Rietz
    To buy time, perhaps?
[10:02] Rosell
    Yes, that's what I think.
[10:06] Rosell
    We'll attack Perreina,
    and Perreina will fight back.
[10:12] Rosell
    But Perreina will inevitably fall
     to our superior forces.
[10:15] Rietz
    So all that matters to them is having
    Perreina on their side in the interim.
[10:22] Rietz
    If they regard Perreina as disposable,
    then their real goal must be...
[10:27] Lumeire
    Of course! The explosion magistones.
[10:31] Ars
    What are those?
[10:33] Lumeire
    Extremely valuable magistones that,
    within Missian, are only found in Perreina,
[10:38] Lumeire
    and in only three other districts across
    the entire continent of Summerforth.
[10:45] Lumeire
    When refined, explosion magistones
    allow for the use of powerful magic
[10:50] Lumeire
    and can be used to make
    even more powerful weapons.
[10:53] Ars
    I see.
[10:55] Ars
    So Lord Vasmarque is after Perreina to
    get as many of those magistones as he can.
[11:01] Rosell
    Which means that attacking Perreina
    is now out of the question.
[11:08] Lumeire
    Why say that?
[11:09] Rosell
    Under other circumstances,
    Perreina would have been our ally.
[11:13] Rosell
    If we whittle each other down by fighting,
[11:16] Rosell
    we'll be playing right into
    Lord Vasmarque's hands.
[11:20] Rosell
    I believe our only option is to tell
    Perreina the truth and win them over.
[11:26] Rietz
    I see.
[11:28] Lumeire
    But we've sent numerous messengers to
    Perreina, and all have been turned away.

[11:39] Perreina Headman
    I read your letter.
[11:41] Perreina Headman
    Setting aside the question of how you
    happened to get a copy of our pact...
[11:47] sign
    Headman of Perreina
[11:47] Perreina
    For now, I'll hear what you have to say.
[11:50] Ars
    Just as I said in my letter,
[11:52] Ars
    Lamberg also wishes to
    join Lord Vasmarque's side.
[11:59] Ars
    Maasa District changing sides
    was a huge shock to us.
[12:02] Perreina Headman
    As it was to me.
[12:05] Ars
    The loyalties of a force as large as Maasa's
[12:09] Ars
    will be a critical factor
    in the war's final outcome.
[12:13] Ars
    Having learned of this, Lord Lumeire
    intends to join Lord Vasmarque, as well.
[12:19] Perreina Headman
    What did you say?
[12:20] Perreina Headman
    You mean you're a messenger
    from Canarre District, then?
[12:24] Ars
    For a small territory like ours,
[12:27] Ars
    siding with the inevitable winner
    is all the more important.
[12:30] Perreina Headman
    I'd heard Lamberg had a new lord...
[12:34] Perreina Headman
    You seem competent beyond
    your meager years.
[12:37] Perreina Headman
    You were able to steal a
    tightly guarded pact, after all.
[12:45] Perreina Headman
    Very well.
[12:47] Perreina Headman
    There's no point in hiding now that it's out.
[12:50] Perreina Headman
    I'll speak to Lord Vasmarque myself.
[12:53] Perreina Headman
    We'll gladly accept Lamberg into our cadre.
[12:56] Perreina Headman
    I'll be counting on you in the future.
[12:58] Ars
    First, I'd like to confirm one last thing.
[13:03] Ars
    Is the pact document genuine?
[13:06] Perreina Headman
    I received it from Lord Vasmarque personally.
[13:10] Perreina Headman
    I can attest to its authenticity.
[13:13] Ars
    But hasn't Maasa's headman been loyal
     to Lord Couran all this time?
[13:17] Ars
    Why would he betray him now?
[13:19] Perreina Headman
    This is war.
[13:21] Perreina Headman
    It's not uncommon to betray former
    allies to secure a winning position.
[13:26] Ars
    But surely Maasa District knows that such
    a betrayal would leave them surrounded.
[13:31] Ars
    Do you know his specific reason for siding
    with Lord Vasmarque, despite the risk?
[13:36] Perreina Headman
    Well...
[13:38] Ars
    Isn't it a bit dangerous to buy into this
    without knowing why he did it?
[13:43] Perreina Headman
    I see now. This was all a ruse.
[13:45] Perreina Headman
    Your interest in joining us was merely
    pretext to get an audience with me.
[13:50] Perreina Headman
    Arrest them!
[13:59] Ars
    Please wait.
[14:00] Ars
    We didn't come here for a fight.
[14:04] Ars
    Headman of Perreina,
    I came to tell you something.
[14:07] Perreina Headman
    A-And what's that?
[14:15] Perreina Headman
    Y-You're...
[14:17] Perreina Headman

[14:38] sign
    Headman of Maasa

    Then, as we suspected...
[14:42] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    Indeed, I never signed this pact.
[14:45] (Flashback) Ars
    We believe it's a forgery by
     Lord Vasmarque to deceive Perreina.
[14:51] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    Disgusting. What a cheap trick!
[14:54] (Flashback) Ars
    We want to pretend to change allegiances
    to get Perreina to see the light.
[14:58] (Flashback) Ars
    Could you write us a letter condemning
    the pact as counterfeit, if you would?
[15:06] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    To forge the seal of Maasa District...
[15:10] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    This is an absolute disgrace!
[15:12] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    I cannot abide such underhanded tactics!
[15:16] (Flashback) Maasa Headman
    I'll visit Perreina's headman
    and reveal the truth myself!
[15:21] Ars
    Maasa's headman wants to come with us?!
[15:26] Maasa Headman
    Headman of Perreina.
[15:29] Maasa Headman
    I did not sign that pact.
[15:32] Maasa Headman
    That means it is a forgery.
[15:35] Maasa Headman
    I have served Lord Couran from the
     beginning, and I will until the end.
[15:40] Maasa Headman
    I am no turncoat!
[15:42] Maasa Headman
    Now, I wish to ask you a question.
[15:46] Maasa Headman
    Knowing what you do now,
[15:48] Maasa Headman
    will you pursue your own ruin by
    continuing to side with Lord Vasmarque?
[15:54] Perreina Headman
    Now that I know of this treachery,
    I wish to side with Lord Couran.
[15:59] Perreina Headman
    But... we still did turn on him, for a time.
[16:02] Perreina Headman
    Do you think Lord Couran
    will really take us back?
[16:07] Maasa Headman
    Indeed, that won't be easy to do.
[16:11] Maasa Headman
    Let me tell you one thing.
[16:14] Maasa Headman
    Maasa District is one of the
    most populous in all of Missian.
[16:19] Maasa Headman
    That makes us a powerful domain.
[16:22] Maasa Headman
    At the same time, it means
    I have more people to protect.
[16:28] Maasa Headman
    I feel that, for their sake,
    I must win this war at any cost.
[16:33] Maasa Headman
    I'm sure you felt the same way.
[16:38] Maasa Headman
    Nevertheless, had you investigated this,
     you'd have seen it was all a trap.
[16:43] Maasa Headman
    I cannot ignore how easily you were fooled!
[16:50] Ars
    He has such a commanding presence.
[16:52] Ars
    That's what it takes to lead a large domain.
[16:55] Ars
    I need to rise to that level.
[16:57] Maasa Headman
    Still, it was Ars who brought
    the matter to my attention.
[17:02] Maasa Headman
    Ars, I leave the decision to you.
[17:05] Ars
    M-Me?!
[17:12] Ars
    I agree that Perreina's
    headman acted incautiously.
[17:17] Ars
    But... everyone makes mistakes.
[17:20] Ars
    I don't want to cut anyone
    out for a single mistake.
[17:24] Ars
    Perhaps it's naïve of me,
[17:26] Ars
    but I'm just happy we could
    resolve this without fighting.
[17:30] Ars
    Maybe it was meant to be.
[17:32] Ars
    Let us become allies once more!
[17:38] Perreina Headman
    I'm deeply grateful for your compassion.
[17:41] Perreina Headman
    I promise to serve as best I can.
[17:52] Maasa Headman
    Well, I believe that's that.
[17:54] Maasa Headman
    There's nothing more to discuss.
[17:59] Maasa Headman
    Now go inform Lumeire of this.
[18:02] Ars
    I will!
[18:04] Ars
    Um...
[18:05] Ars
    Thank you so much for joining us today.
[18:09] Maasa Headman
    I'm the one who should thank you.
[18:11] Maasa Headman
    You saw through the enemy's plot and
    resolved the situation without bloodshed.
[18:16] Maasa Headman
    It seems Canarre has made a fine
    addition to its leadership.
[18:20] Maasa Headman
    I'll remember that.
[18:21] Ars
    Thank you so much!
[18:23] Maasa Headman
    Your acting was a bit on
    the wooden side, though.
[18:26] Ars
    I'll try to work on that...
[18:31] Ars
    That's the long and short of it.
[18:34] Ars
    Perreina's headman pledged to Lord Lumeire
    that he'd support him unilaterally from now on.
[18:42] Ars
    It also appears that Lord Vasmarque acquired
[18:45] Ars
    large numbers of explosion magistones
    from Perreina District.
[18:49] Ars
    He's frighteningly clever, isn't he?
[18:53] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[18:56] Rietz
    Are you all right?
[18:57] Rietz
    It's gotten quite chilly today.
[18:58] Rosell
    So cold!
[19:03] Ars
    That's right. Winter's coming, isn't it?
[19:08] Rietz
    Lord Ars?
[19:12] Ars
    Thanks to the two of you, we managed
    to resolve this without anyone getting hurt.
[19:17] Ars
    Again, you have my deepest thanks.
[19:20] Rosell
    Y-You think so?
[19:23] Rietz
    Is something weighing on your mind?
[19:25] Ars
    Ah, no, it's nothing serious.
[19:28] Ars
    I know what I have to do,
    but it's difficult to accomplish...
[19:32] Rietz
    Lord Ars?
[19:38] Ars
    The headmen of Perreina and Maasa were
    desperate to protect their domains and people.
[19:43] Ars
    I have to become a strong lord like them.
[19:49] Ars
    If I didn't have you, I would have been
     powerless to influence the situation.
[19:57] Rietz
    You do have us, Lord Ars.
[20:01] Rietz
    No matter what enemy we face,
    we'll do everything we can to protect you.
[20:07] Rietz
    You need only do what you feel is right, as
     you did when you forgave Perreina's headman.
[20:14] Ars
    Thank you for your support, Rietz, Rosell.
[20:17] Alice
    Lord Ars!
[20:21] Alice
    A carriage just arrived...
[20:27] Ars
    Lord Lumeire? What are you doing here?
[20:30] Lumeire
    I'm sorry it took me so long to visit, Raven.
[20:36] Ars
    Thank you for coming.
[20:38] Lumeire
    Raven, Lord Couran wishes to meet Ars.
[20:44] Ars
    Huh?
[20:45] Ars
    Lord Couran wants to meet me?!

     unworthy of meeting Lord Couran...
[20:59] Ars
    There's not something
    else going on, is there?
[21:02] Lumeire
    I told Lord Couran about the recent incident.
[21:06] Lumeire
    It seems he's taken quite an interest in you.
[21:06] sign
    Interest
[21:09] Ars
    I... I see. Very well.
[21:12] Ars
    I'll try to mentally prepare myself
     for when the day comes.
[21:15] Lumeire
    What do you mean?
[21:17] Lumeire
    We're going to see him now.
[21:19] Lumeire
    Come along!
[21:22] Ars
    Right now?!
[21:23] Lumeire
    Yes!
[21:24] Ars
    S-Surely this is all too sudden!
[21:27] Ars
    I haven't even prepared tribute!
[21:29] Rietz
    Why are you hesitating? It's your
    chance to move up in the world!
[21:33] Rietz
    You must go!
[21:34] Rosell
    It's a good chance to gather intel
     on our allies! You've got to go!
[21:42] Ars
    I shall gladly accompany you!
[21:46] Lumeire
    On we go, then!
[23:25] Ars
    Listen to this, Charlotte!
[23:27] Ars
    I'm about to meet Lord Couran,
    the possible next governor of Missian!
[23:30] Charlotte
    Meaning you're going to a party
    to eat delicious food?!
[23:33] Charlotte
    Okay, I'm gonna get ready!

[01:49] Rosell
    Are you sure it was okay
    to leave Charlotte behind?
[01:52] Rietz
    We couldn't exactly leave the house unguarded.
[01:54] Rosell
    Well, I suppose...
[01:57] Rietz
    I'll be sure to bring her back a gift.
[02:01] Rietz
    Lord Ars, are you all right?
[02:04] Ars
    Y-Yes!
[02:06] Ars
    I wasn't expecting an invitation
    from Lord Couran...
[02:10] Ars
    He could be the next governor
    of Missian Province.
[02:13] Ars
    What does he want with a
    common rural lord like me?!
[02:17] Ars
    M-May I ask the occasion of today's party?
[02:22] Rietz
    Lord Couran has apparently
    invited powerful nobles
[02:26] Rietz
    and lords from all around
    Lord Couran's city, Semplar.
[02:30] Rosell
    He probably wants to meet everyone
    before the war to raise morale.
[02:35] Ars
    In other words,
    it'll be a mess of elite city folk.
[02:39] Ars
    I've gotta be careful not to screw up!
[02:42] Rosell
    Hey, you can see Semplar from here!
[02:47] sign
    Trading City of Semplar
[02:47] Ars
    It's so big!
[02:52] Rietz
    And Castle Semplar sits atop that hill.
[02:56] Rosell
    The city truly looks the part
     of Missian's trade capital.
[03:01] Ars
    It's spectacular.
[03:04] Ars
    We'll have to work hard to
    get Lamberg to this level.
[03:10] Rietz
    Tonight's party is a rare opportunity
    to get your name out there.
[03:14] Rietz
    I hope we can take advantage of that.

    It's because I'm such a bumpkin!
[03:43] Lord A
    Lord Lumeire!
[03:44] Lord A
    It's been too long.
[03:46] Lord A
    Have you been doing well?
[03:48] Lumeire
    I have. You also seem well.
[03:51] Lord B
    Lumeire, I've heard tales of your fine deeds!
[03:55] Lord C
    Ah, Lumeire!
[03:58] Ars
    Lord Lumeire is just as
    influential as I thought.
[04:02] Lumeire
    Ars.
[04:03] Lumeire
    Come here.
[04:06] Lumeire
    You're a lord as well, remember?
[04:08] Lumeire
    Hold your head high.
[04:10] Lumeire
    Allow me to introduce the lord of Lamberg
    in my Canarre District, Ars Louvent.
[04:16] Ars
    I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
[04:19] Lord C
    My, what a fine greeting from one so young.
[04:24] Lumeire
    He's coming.
[04:42] Couran
    Arise.
[04:47] Ars
    That man is Lord Couran...

    I can see why Lord Lumeire
    chose to side with him.
[05:03] Ars
    But... they say his younger brother,
    Vasmarque, is even more impressive...
[05:07] Ars
    Just how amazing must he be?
[05:10] Ars
    It might not be purely about stats.
[05:13] Ars
    There may be some other reason they're
    pushing the younger Lord Vasmarque.
[05:18] Ars
    Could someone be trying
    to undermine Lord Couran?
[05:23] Ars
    If so, there must be a great darkness in play...
[05:27] Couran
    Thank you all for coming
    from your various territories.
[05:31] Couran
    There's something I wish to tell you today.
[05:35] Couran
    The death of my father has plunged
    the province of Missian into great danger.
[05:41] Couran
    The root of that danger is my
    younger brother, Vasmarque,
[05:46] Couran
    who seeks war to overturn the rightful
    heir to the governorship—myself.
[05:52] Couran
    Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Summerforth
     will step in to stave off disaster.
[06:00] Couran
    Its power has waned in its two
    hundred years of existence,
[06:03] Couran
    and it no longer functions
    as an empire should.
[06:08] Couran
    There can be no restoring
    such a degenerate reign.
[06:14] Couran
    It is a universal truth that new eras are
    forged through destruction and rebirth.
[06:20] Couran
    A nation that has become a relic of the past
[06:22] Couran
    must be destroyed and remade anew!
[06:27] Couran
    I intend to defeat Vasmarque,
[06:31] Couran
    unite Missian Province,
[06:33] Couran
    and create the nation of Missian!
[06:36] Ars
    The nation of Missian?
[06:38] Ars
    So... he wants to declare independence?
[06:40] Ars
    I had no idea.
[06:43] Couran
    Win the war and forge a nation...
[06:46] Couran
    Sadly, such things are easier said than done.
[06:50] Couran
    Yet this room is full of talented
    people of whom I can be proud.
[06:55] Couran
    I know that if we work together,
    there is nothing we cannot achieve.
[07:01] Couran
    Will you join me in seizing victory?!
[07:04] Lords
    Yes!
[07:10] Couran
    I'd like to introduce someone who
    recently performed a magnificent deed.
[07:15] Couran
    Lord of Lamberg, Ars Louvent. Step forward.
[07:19] Ars
    M-Me?!
[07:20] Rosell
    Lord Ars!
[07:21] Rietz
    Take the stage!
[07:25] Ars
    I-It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[07:27] Ars
    I am Ars Louvent!
[07:29] Couran
    I am Couran Salamakhia.
[07:32] Couran
    Come stand beside me
    and let everyone see you.
[07:37] Ars
    Yes, my lord!
[07:41] Couran
    In an act of true cowardice,
[07:44] Couran
    Vasmarque created a counterfeit pact
    to bring Perreina District into his fold.
[07:49] Couran
    However, Ars here saw
    through Vasmarque's trick
[07:54] Couran
    and brought Perreina back to us bloodlessly.
[07:59] Lord E
    That child did?
[08:01] Couran
    Age is of no consequence!
[08:03] Couran
    What matters is accomplishments.
[08:07] Couran
    Ars has done more than anyone here.
[08:11] Couran
    I'd like you all to give him
     a round of applause!
[08:22] Ars
    Th-Thank you so much!
[08:31] Rosell
    This is delicious!
[08:33] Rosell
    I wish Charlotte could have had some...
[08:37] Rietz
    I'll bring some to Lord Ars.
[08:40] Rosell
    You're taking that much?
[08:43] Rietz
    He's spent so much time meeting people,
     he hasn't eaten anything.
[08:49] Rietz
    Lord Ars!
[08:50] Rietz
    Perhaps it's time for you to eat?
[08:54] Rietz
    A-Are you all right?
[08:56] Ars
    I'm going to get some fresh air.
[09:07] Ars
    A lord can't just protect his own territory.
[09:10] Ars
    He also has to socialize.
[09:12] Ars
    It's rough.
[09:14] Couran
    What's the matter?
[09:15] Couran
    You look down.
[09:16] Ars
    L-Lord Couran! Wh-What are you doing here?
[09:20] Couran
    I wanted to talk to you, man to man.
[09:22] Ars
    To me?
[09:24] Couran
    I hear you're bringing together talented
    retainers and doing great things.
[09:29] Couran
    I rarely hear Lumeire
    speak so highly of anyone.
[09:33] Couran
    You're a gifted man with a good eye, aren't you?
[09:36] Ars
    No, it's my subordinates
    who are amazing, not me.
[09:41] Couran
    That's exactly why I wanted to ask you this.
[09:44] Couran
    You spoke with my subordinates earlier.
[09:47] Couran
    What did you think of
    the men I'm so proud of?
[09:54] Ars
    I appraised them all earlier...
[09:59] Ars
    To be honest, there was
    no one who caught my eye.
[10:04] Ars
    Wh-What do I say?
[10:08] Ars
    I'm sorry!
[10:10] Ars
    I didn't see anyone particularly talented.
[10:14] Couran
    So you're saying...
[10:18] Couran
    your subordinates are
    more talented than mine?
[10:25] Ars
    I am!
[10:34] Couran
    I like your honesty.
[10:36] Couran
    You're right.
[10:39] Couran
    They're all good men,
    loyal and highly motivated.
[10:43] Couran
    Yet they seem to be lacking
    in the area of raw talent.
[10:48] Couran
    Hearing it from you just confirms it for me.
[10:51] Couran
    Indeed, with these men alone,
    the battle ahead may be hard to win.
[10:56] Ars
    What do you mean?
[10:58] Couran
    The other side has no shortage of clever men.
[11:02] Couran
    We have the stronger military
     and greater funds,
[11:06] Couran
    but that means little in the hands
    of mediocre leaders.
[11:09] Ars
    Th-That's awful...
[11:12] Couran
    That's why I was all the more pleased
    to hear of your recent triumph.
[11:20] Couran
    I'm happy to have a new outstanding talent.
[11:23] Couran
    I've got high hopes for you.
[11:26] Ars
    Y-Yes, my lord...
[11:28] Couran
    If you perform well and
    we win the upcoming war...
[11:33] Couran
    Let me see...
[11:36] Couran
    I'll make you the headman of Canarre.
[11:39] Ars
    Huh? What did you say?
[11:41] Couran
    I'll promote you to Canarre's headman.
[11:45] Couran
    It's only natural you be rewarded
    for your accomplishments.
[11:47] Ars
    M-M-Me? Headman of Canarre?!
[11:52] Ars
    What are you talking about?
    Wh-What about Lord Lumeire?
[11:55] Couran
    I've been planning on giving him
    a larger territory for a while.
[12:00] Couran
    He's one of the few retainers
    I can really put my faith in.
[12:04] Ars
    B-But...
[12:05] Couran
    I'm counting on you, Ars.
[12:08] Ars
    Lord Couran...
[12:13] Couran
    Oh, right.
[12:15] Couran
    Could I have your retainers?
[12:17] Ars
    C-C-Certainly not!
    They're very important to me!
[12:21] Ars
    I can't give them away,
     not even to you, Lord Couran!
[12:24] Couran
    I thought you'd say that.
[12:26] Couran
    Join my next war council, would you?
[12:29] Ars
    War council?
[12:30] Couran
    I want you to be there
    with your subordinates.
[12:33] Couran
    I want to hear your opinions.
[12:36] Couran
    And...
[12:39] Couran
    I want you to use that eye of yours
    to help me find talented people.
[12:44] Couran
    Well, see you later.
[12:50] Ars
    Lord Couran is counting on me?

    That's pretty awesome.

    talented people for him, but...

    efficient way to look for talent?

[16:02] Rietz
    Bumping into Lord Ars...
[16:05] Rietz
    Utterly unforgivable.
[16:12] Pham
    I'm sorry! We're not open just yet!
[16:17] Mireille
    Oh, I'm not here to eat.
[16:20] Mireille
    I want me a job here, little boy.
[16:30] Owner
    Hey, Mireille!
[16:31] Owner
    What are you doing here?
[16:34] Mireille
    And... who are you again?
[16:36] Pham
    You know each other?
[16:38] Owner
    We saw a lot of each other at the bar
    when I lived out in the sticks.
[16:43] Mireille
    Oh, so we're drinkin' buddies?
[16:44] Mireille
    Give a girl a break, then.
[16:46] Mireille
    I'm kinda homeless and broke right now.
[16:49] Mireille
    Mind if I work here for room and board?
[16:52] Owner
    Yeah, right!
[16:53] Owner
    How many drinks do you already owe me?!
[16:58] Mireille
    Aw, don't be mean.
[17:00] Mireille
    Don't wanna see me drop dead
     in the streets, do ya?
[17:02] Owner
    Just get out now!
[17:04] Pham
    I think it's just fine!
[17:06] Pham
    She's a very interesting person,
[17:08] Pham
    and I'd love to have more help on the floor!
[17:10] Owner
    What?!
[17:12] Owner
    The hell are you thinking?
[17:14] Owner
    Nothing good will come
    from hiring this lush!
[17:18] Pham
    No worries. Leave it to me.
[17:21] Pham
    My name's Lynn!
[17:23] Pham
    I look forward to working with you!
[17:26] Mireille
    Hey, you mean it? Yeah!
[17:30] Mireille
    There ya go!
[17:33] Customer A
    Hey, that's not what I ordered!
[17:36] Mireille
    Huh? That so?
[17:37] Customer B
    I got the wrong thing, too!
[17:40] Owner
    Don't drink on the job!
[17:44] Mireille
    Boy, what a day!
[17:46] Owner
    You did nothing but screw up!
[17:48] Pham
    Now, now...
[17:49] Mireille
    C'mon, it's my first day.
[17:51] Mireille
    Now, where's my free meal?
    I'm starvin' here.
[17:55] Owner
    You get your free meals after
    you do your job properly!
[17:59] Mireille
    Stingy.
[17:59] Pham
    Owner, I'm also hungry!
[18:02] Owner
    Lynn, don't indulge this slob.
[18:06] Owner
    Fine.
[18:07] Owner
    I'll whip something up.
[18:09] Lynn
    Thanks so much!
[18:14] Pham
    How did you make a living
    before now, Mireille?
[18:19] Mireille
    I'm something of a wanderer.
[18:21] Mireille
    I travel, take odd jobs,
    and look for good booze.
[18:24] Pham
    Really? Then what did you do before that?
[18:28] Mireille
    It's not smart to go prying
    into a lady's past, y'know,
[18:32] Mireille
    little boy.
[18:33] Pham
    You keep calling me "little boy."
[18:36] Pham
    Do I really look like a guy to you?
[18:38] Mireille
    Yeah, for sure.
[18:41] Mireille
    Not that it matters or anything.
[18:44] Mireille
    Ah, well.
[18:46] Mireille
    Since you're such a cute little fella,
     I'll spill a few beans.
[18:51] Mireille
    I've got a real jerk
    for a little brother, y'see?
[18:56] Mireille
    He and I used to serve this old guy together.
[19:00] Mireille
    But I heard recently that
    he kicked the bucket.
[19:05] Mireille
    It's kinda sad.
[19:07] Pham
    What was the man you served like?
[19:10] Mireille
    Kinda absent-minded, but fun to be around.
[19:14] Mireille
    We were poor as heck, but he believed in us.
[19:19] Mireille
    Um...
[19:20] Mireille
    I think his name was Amador Salamakhia.
[19:24] Owner
    Amador Salamakhia was the governor of Missian.
[19:29] Owner
    What a lousy lie.
[19:33] Mireille
    But who wants to stay
    in the same place forever?
[19:37] Mireille
    I always end up getting bored and quitting.
[19:41] Mireille
    I've been a penniless wanderer ever since,
[19:45] Mireille
    but I get to enjoy all kinds
    of local cuisines, so it's fun.
[19:49] Mireille
    Anyway, that's all of my story you get!
[19:52] Pham
    Mireille!
[19:54] Pham
    What would you say if I told you
    I know of an even better job for you?
[20:01] Ars
    What?!
[20:02] Ars
    Pham says he already found a good candidate!
[20:05] Rietz
    It hasn't even been a full day!
[20:07] Ars
    He's going to bring them today...
[20:10] Alice
    Lord Ars.
[20:11] Alice
    You have a visitor inquiring
    about a job with House Louvent.
[20:16] Ars
    They're here!
[20:18] Rosell
    Just a day later?
    This seems a little too fast...
[20:22] Charlotte
    You can't find a great talent that quick.
[20:25] Ars
    Let's just meet them and see.
[20:33] Pham
    Hello there!
[20:34] Pham
    This is who I wanted you to meet!
[20:40] Mireille
    Heya!
[20:41] Ars
    Haven't I seen her somewhere?
[20:45] Ars
    The lady from yesterday!
[20:47] Pham
    You know her?
[20:49] Ars
    We bumped into each other in town!
[20:55] Mireille
    Sorry, I don't remember you at all!
[20:57] Rosell
    She's drunk!
[20:59] Rietz
    You're drinking again?
[21:04] Rietz
    You're not just foisting a
    troublemaker on us, are you?
[21:07] Pham
    Nah.
[21:09] Pham
    I think she's entirely on your level.
[21:14] Mireille
    Hey, so you're the lord of Lamberg?
[21:16] Ars
    Yes, I'm Ars Louvent.
[21:18] Mireille
    I was wondering what you'd be like!
[21:21] Mireille
    So you're just a little guy, huh?
[21:23] Ars
    I'm sorry to disappoint.
[21:25] Mireille
    Nah, it's totally cool if you're a kid.
[21:28] Mireille
    Seems like a pretty fun household, even.
[21:31] Mireille
    Well? You wanna hire me?
[21:35] Ars
    What's your name?
[21:36] Mireille
    Mireille.

    Episode 11 Mireille Grangeon
[02:03] Ars
    Um... You're Mireille Grangeon, right?
[02:07] Mireille
    Wow, you've heard of me?
[02:09] Rietz
    Mireille Grangeon? It can't be...
[02:12] Pham
    Yeah.
[02:13] Pham
    The name of the former advisor to the late
    governor of Missian, Amador Salamakhia.
[02:20] Mireille
    Yeah, that's right!
    I lived with that old guy.
[02:23] Charlotte
    Wow, she seems awesome.
[02:26] Ars
    Advisor to the late governor of Missian?
[02:28] Ars
    What's someone that important doing here?
[02:34] Ars
    Rosell? What's the matter?
[02:36] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[02:38] Rietz
    You must not hire this woman.
[02:41] Rietz
    Her name is infamous.
[02:43] Rietz
    Though she was once served the late governor,
[02:47] Rietz
    they say she was driven from the castle.
[02:50] Mireille
    Oh, yeah? Is that what they say about me?
[02:54] Rietz
    Most importantly, she has a younger brother...
[02:57] Rietz
    Thomas Grangeon, right hand
    to our enemy, Lord Vasmarque.
[03:04] Rietz
    He's said to be a great general,
     with skills that surpass his elder sister's.
[03:09] Rietz
    Mireille, his own flesh and blood,
    might well be passing information to him.
[03:14] Ars
    S-So she might be a spy?
[03:17] Mireille
    What, give his stupid ass intel?
[03:19] Mireille
    No way! We don't get along at all.
[03:22] Mireille
    So, wait, my brother's with that dude now?
[03:25] Rietz
    That's enough out of you.
[03:27] Mireille
    Ooh, scary guy.
[03:30] Mireille
    Hey, Lynn. I'm not really
    feeling a warm welcome here.
[03:34] Mireille
    I dunno if these guys are gonna hire me.
[03:38] Pham
    What'll it be?
[03:44] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[03:45] Rietz
    I'm sorry, but please turn her away.
[03:47] Rosell
    Yes.
[03:48] Ars
    All right.
[03:50] Ars
    I'll hire you!
[03:53] Rietz
    L-Lord Ars?
[03:55] Rietz
    Did you just say you would hire her?
[03:57] Rosell
    It's far too dangerous!
[03:59] Ars
    Nevertheless, she has genuine skill!
[04:02] Ars
    I guarantee it!
[04:06] Ars
    Like with Licia, I don't know exactly
    what her Ambition stat represents.
[04:11] Ars
    I can't be sure it means
    she's likely to betray.
[04:15] Ars
    And as for her other stats...
[04:17] Ars
    Having her on our side is worth the risk!
[04:20] Ars
    She's just that talented!
[04:22] Mireille
    Aw, I'm not that good.
[04:24] Mireille
    Shucks, I'm blushin' here.
[04:27] Ars
    We need good people right now.
[04:30] Ars
    Please!
[04:32] Charlotte
    You heard him.
[04:33] Rietz
    If Lord Ars insists...
[04:38] Ars
    Thank you, everyone!
[04:39] Mireille
    Does that mean I got the job?
[04:44] Mireille
    Pleasure to work with ya!
[04:49] Rietz
    Lord Ars! Lord Ars!
[04:52] Rietz
    I can't take this any longer!
[04:56] Rietz
    I realize that my saying so is
    the height of impropriety...
[05:00] Rietz
    But I do not believe Mireille
    is fit to be your retainer.
[05:04] Rietz
    I caught her neglecting her duties
    to sleep the day away yet again!
[05:08] Rietz
    There are multiple complaints
    from the training hall
[05:11] Rietz
    that she has no interest
    in giving instructions!
[05:14] Rietz
    And when I advised her to straighten up...
[05:17] (Flashback) Mireille
    Sometimes you just don't feel like it!
[05:19] Rietz
    She had the nerve to say that to me!
[05:23] Rietz
    She's a blemish on House Louvent
    in absolutely every respect!
[05:27] Ars
    Not this again...
[05:30] Rosell
    I don't want Mireille tutoring me anymore!
[05:34] Ars
    What now?!
[05:36] Rosell
    She said something like, "No more books,"
    then took me outside and made me run!
[05:41] (Flashback) Rosell
    Is there any point to this?!
[05:44] (Flashback) Mireille
    That's for you to figure out!
[05:47] Rosell
    What is that even supposed to mean?!
[05:50] Rosell
    I think she's just picking on me!
[05:52] Rosell
    I'm no good at running!
[05:55] Rosell
    What does a strategist even need to run for?!
[05:59] Rosell
    I'm exhausted!
[06:00] Ars
    I-I'm sure there's a method to her
    madness, but I'll talk to her just in—
[06:07] Ars
    Wh-What's that sound?!
[06:09] Gatos
    What was that?
[06:10] Marcus
    Are we under attack?!
[06:12] Millais
    Prepare for combat!
[06:15] Mireille
    Say, you've got a real talent for magic!
[06:19] Mireille
    Color me surprised.
[06:20] Charlotte
    When I really let loose, I can do way better.
[06:23] Mireille
    Wow, I wanna see!
[06:25] Ars
    Hold it right there. What are you two doing?
[06:28] Charlotte
    Big Sis Mireille said she wanted
    to see my spells, so I cast one.
[06:32] Ars
    Could you at least try to restrain yourself?!
[06:35] Mireille
    Aw, it's no fun if she holds back.
[06:38] Ars
    Then at least warn us
    before you start casting!
[06:41] Mireille
    Yeah, shoulda done that. My bad.
[06:45] Ars
    I'm just glad it wasn't an enemy attack.
[06:48] Ars
    Honestly, please be more careful—
[06:53] Gullar
    You're not taking this seriously enough.
[06:55] Gullar
    Can't you try to straighten up?
[06:58] Alice
    You're making more work for us!
     We can't take it!
[07:00] Maids
    That's right!
[07:02] Mireille
    Huh? I'm just doing what comes natural.
[07:06] Mireille
    I mean, it's kinda hard to change
    once you reach a certain age...
[07:11] Mireille
    What do you think, kiddo?
[07:12] Ars
    U-Um...
[07:16] Ars
    I-I want us all to work together!
[07:19] Ars
    If this keeps up,
    I might have to do something!
[07:22] Mireille
    Aw, really? That's tough.
[07:26] Mireille
    I really don't wanna leave this place...
[07:28] Ars
    She doesn't want to leave?
[07:30] Ars
    Despite the hostile environment
    with all the complaints?
[07:35] Ars
    Why not?
[07:37] Mireille
    No one's taken me in with as much
    gusto as you did since the old guy.
[07:46] Mireille
    I mean, there's lots more to it,
[07:48] Mireille
    but I guess I gotta prove myself
     if I wanna stay here.
[07:54] Mireille
    So, how's about a mock battle?
[07:57] Mireille
    It's kinda hard for me to show
    my stuff outside a proper fight.
[08:02] Mireille
    If I impress you in a mock battle,
    I want your stamp of approval as a retainer.
[08:05] Ars
    This is all a bit sudden...
[08:08] Rietz
    I like it.
[08:10] Ars
    No, please, Rietz...
[08:12] Rietz
    Let's see what a one-time advisor to
    the governor of Missian has to offer.
[08:22] Ars
    Wh-What should I do?
    This is really getting out of hand!
[08:29] Ars
    Well...
[08:32] Ars
    Why are you here again, Licia?
[08:35] Licia
    Your most recent letter said you
    were going to hold a mock battle,
[08:39] Licia
    so I dropped by to cheer you on!
[08:42] Ars
    Y-You just "dropped by"?
[08:44] Mireille
    Hey, so you're the legendary fiancée?
[08:47] Mireille
    I've heard tons about you.
[08:50] Licia
    Oh, and Lord Ars has told me
    all about you in his letters!
[08:55] Licia
    "A strategist who eats our food and
    does no work in exchange," I believe.
[08:58] Mireille
    Aw, Ars, that's mean!
[09:01] Ars
    I didn't say that! I didn't!
[09:03] Ars
    Though I did say I was struggling with
    all the complaints from everyone...
[09:07] Mireille
    'Course not!
[09:09] Mireille
    You're the only one who
    really wanted me here.
[09:12] Mireille
    How's about we get married?
[09:14] Ars
    N-No, Mireille, please! You're drunk!
[09:21] Ars
    What was that noise she just made?!
[09:23] Rosell
    L-Lord Ars, we should probably get started.
[09:25] Ars
    I-I will now explain the rules!
[09:30] Ars
    The mock battle will be held
    between two teams of fifty each.
[09:35] Ars
    The location will be a region
    of the eastern forest.
[09:38] Ars
    It will last until sunset.
[09:40] Ars
    Whichever side "slays" more soldiers wins.
[09:44] Ars
    That said, taking out the enemy general
[09:47] Ars
    or wiping out the entire unit
    will mean instant victory.
[09:51] Ars
    We'll be using blunt wooden
    swords for our weapons.
[09:55] Ars
    You're "slain" if struck in the head or chest,
     so kindly retire from the game after that.
[10:01] Ars
    That should cover it. Any questions?
[10:04] Charlotte
    Can we use magic?
[10:06] Ars
    Flame spells are not allowed.
[10:09] Ars
    That would end the battle instantly.
[10:11] Charlotte
    Aw, then what'm I supposed to do?
[10:14] Ars
    Instead, I'm handing out a few vials
    of aqua magia for you to make use of.
[10:20] Charlotte
    Sound-type and light-type aqua magia, huh?
[10:25] Rosell
    These are safer, since you can't attack
    people directly with them, but...
[10:32] Rosell
    Don't just go and use them!
[10:34] Charlotte
    I didn't. I just held it a little
    too tight, and it went off.
[10:40] Ars
    Now, how shall we divide the teams?
[10:43] Ars
    I want to see what Mireille can do,
    so I'd prefer to be on her side, but...
[10:53] Ars
    Why are the rest of you siding with him?!
[10:55] Rietz
    The outcome was inevitable.
[10:57] Rosell
    Uh-huh!
[10:58] Licia
    One must drive out an unwanted presence!
[11:02] Licia
    Correct?
[11:02] Rietz/Rosell
    Uh-huh!
[11:03] Charlotte
    I wanna try going up against Big Sis!
[11:06] Eis
    If Lord Ars loses, Mireille gets fired.
[11:10] Eis
    So you newbies can join his team.
[11:13] New Soldier
    That's not fair!
[11:14] Veteran Soldier
    Shut up!
[11:16] Ars
    Hang on...
[11:17] Ars
    Mireille, please, say something.
[11:20] Mireille
    Eh, sounds fine to me.
[11:22] Ars
    You're drinking again!
[11:24] Ars
    Where did you even get that?!
[11:26] Eis
    Sheesh. Is she even taking this seriously?
[11:30] Mireille
    Can I get me a refill?
[11:33] Ars
    The point of this mock battle was
    to get everyone to accept her...
[11:36] Ars
    But I think she's just driving
    an even bigger wedge!
[11:40] Ars
    Well, let's take our positions.

[12:10] Rietz
    We're better off without a
    disruptive force like her.
[12:13] Soldiers
    Uh-huh!
[12:14] Charlotte
    You think so?
[12:16] Charlotte
    I think Big Sis Mireille is
    pretty awesome, personally.
[12:22] sign
    General Rosell
[12:22] Rosell
    Charlotte and Licia are
    domineering enough as it is...
[12:27] Rosell
    If Mireille joins them, our female
    faction is gonna be way too scary!
[12:34] Rosell
    Rietz! Let's do our best!
[12:37] sign
    Mireille's Team
[12:39] sign
    General Ars
[12:40] Ars
    All right, everyone! Let's give this our all!
[12:43] Mireille
    Sure!
[12:47] Ars
    Do you really think we'll be okay?
[12:49] Ars
    The other team has Rietz...
[12:51] Mireille
    Oh, that kid?
[12:54] Mireille
    I saw him in training.
    That Rietz kid is a real monster!
[12:58] Mireille
    Gotta wonder what he's doing
    out here in the sticks.
[13:01] Mireille
    Oh, and Charlotte's really
    something else, too.
[13:05] Mireille
    I bet she could take out
    a whole squad in a second.
[13:08] Mireille
    How'd you score talent like them?
[13:11] Ars
    I just asked them to become my retainers.
[13:14] Mireille
    Oh? Nice work!
[13:18] Ars
    Anyway, we're at quite a disadvantage
    against them, aren't we?
[13:24] Mireille
    And we've got a team full of greenhorns.
[13:28] Mireille
    There's no way we'd win
    under normal circumstances.
[13:33] New Soldier A
    You didn't have to come out and say it!
[13:35] New Soldier B
    We know we're at a disadvantage!
[13:37] New Soldier C
    We're doing our best!
[13:39] New Soldiers
    Yeah! Yeah!
[13:41] Mireille
    Aw, sorry.
[13:43] Mireille
    It's just the truth, though, you know?
[13:48] Ars
    Mireille.
[13:49] Ars
    You shouldn't talk like that.
[13:52] Ars
    It's true that we have our weaknesses...
[13:55] Mireille
    Oh, yeah, we got nothing but weaknesses.
[13:58] Mireille
    But we're also gonna win.
[14:01] Mireille
    We can't change our army,
    but we've got infinite strategy.
[14:06] Mireille
    We're up against a strong opponent
    and have no sense of teamwork.
[14:10] Mireille
    At a glance, everything's against us, but...
[14:13] Mireille
    In another sense,
    we've been dealt a lucky hand.
[14:18] Mireille
    I don't care that you guys hate me.
[14:20] Mireille
    It's not a strategist's job be loved,
    but to get you that win.
[14:30] Wren
    It's starting!
[14:32] Licia
    It appears Lord Ars's army
     has signaled combat first.
[14:39] Rietz
    Is it all set up?
[14:40] Rosell
    Just as you asked.
[14:42] Veteran Mage
    We'll know the second the enemy
    enters our route of advance.
[14:49] Rietz
    Then let's go over the plan once more.
[14:52] Rietz
    In normal combat, our opponent
    stands no chance of victory.
[14:55] Rietz
    So there's a strong chance they'll try
    to use projectiles and ambush tactics.
[15:01] Rietz
    Which is why we'll follow standard combat
    theory and attack their weak force directly.
[15:06] Soldiers
    Sir!
[15:07] Rietz
    We'll divide into two units.
    My unit will march first.
[15:12] Rietz
    The other unit, led by Rosell, will follow
    behind us, maintaining a certain distance.
[15:19] Rietz
    If Mireille mounts an ambush on you,
    use sound magic to call us back.
[15:24] Rietz
    We'll be faster than they are,
[15:26] Rietz
    so we'll catch up before you're
    wiped out and defeat them.
[15:33] Rietz
    That's our plan.
[15:35] Rietz
    Anything to add?
[15:37] Rosell
    Nothing.
[15:40] Rietz
    We've survived many battles together.
[15:43] Rietz
    If we fight as we always do,
     we'll be just fine.
[15:46] Rietz
    And, as we always do...
[15:48] Rietz
    Let us seize victory!
[15:51] Veteran Soldiers
    Yes!
[15:53] Kreiz
    They're moving out!
[15:55] Jean
    They're splitting in two?
[15:58] Jean
    That's quite cautious of them.
[16:00] Licia
    That caution has surely led House
    Louvent to victory many times before.
[16:07] Licia
    What will Mireille do in response?
[16:13] Rietz
    First, let's ascertain the enemy's
    formation and position.
[16:15] Ben
    Yes, sir!
[16:23] Ben
    They triggered it already.
[16:25] Rietz
    That was quick.
[16:35] Jil
    Ah, R-Rietz!
[16:38] Rietz
    You're from Mireille's team...
[16:41] Jil
    E-Er...
[16:42] Jil
    Do you think I could join your side?
[16:46] Ben
    Join our side? This has gotta be a trap.
[16:50] Jil
    I can tell you Mireille's strategy.
[16:53] Rietz
    I'll hear you out, for now.
[16:56] Jil
    Yes, sir!
[16:58] Jil
    Here's her plan.
[17:00] Jil
    Mireille predicted you'd split
    your troops into two units.
[17:04] Jil
    She was going to make her soldiers call out
    that a real enemy attack was happening,
[17:10] Jil
    to get you right where she wants you...
[17:16] Ars
    Grin!
[17:17] Jil
    ...then ambush the other unit
    when they rushed in to help,
[17:21] Jil
    and use all she's got to take out your general.
[17:27] Jil
    That's her entire plan.
[17:30] Henry
    Lord Ars really went for that?
[17:31] Dawson
    He didn't object to it?
[17:34] Jil
    He didn't.
[17:36] Jil
    Please, let me join your team!
[17:43] Rietz
    That's not possible.
[17:44] Rietz
    As persuasive as Mireille may be,
[17:47] Rietz
    Lord Ars would never accept such a plan.
[17:51] Rietz
    Do you think so little of him?
[17:55] Jil
    Of course not! I was totally lying just now.
[18:00] Jil
    You're absolutely right, Rietz.
[18:02] Jil
    Mireille just asked me to pretend to betray
    her to get you where she wants you.
[18:06] Rietz
    Why admit that to us, your enemy?
[18:10] Jil
    I hate Mireille.
[18:12] Jil
    She comes late to training
    and pushes her busywork on us!
[18:17] Jil
    I've never once seen her do any decent work!
[18:20] Rietz
    I sympathize.
[18:23] Jil
    I know it's not good to hate your allies.
[18:26] Jil
    But I've sworn my loyalty to Lord Ars.
[18:31] Jil
    That's all the more reason I can't
    abide her slovenly attitude.
[18:35] Jil
    I want to betray Mireille.
[18:38] Jil
    So I'll tell you her real plan.
[18:44] Rietz
    I see.
[18:45] Rietz
    She wants to lure us here and attack us on
    both sides with her unit and Lord Ars's.
[18:51] Jil
    Please pretend to fall for the plan.
[18:54] Jil
    I'm supposed to use sound magic
    to signal the attack.
[18:57] Jil
    If I don't, her plan will fail.
[19:01] Jil
    Please make wise decisions,
    for Lord Ars's sake.
[19:07] Rietz
    All right.
[19:08] Rietz
    Let me hold your catalyzer just to be safe.
[19:12] Jil
    Take it.
[19:16] Rietz
    Detain him.
[19:21] Jil
    Hey! What's this all about?!
[19:24] Rietz
    The conspicuousness of your catalyzer
    makes me suspect ulterior motives.
[19:30] Henry
    He's got another catalyzer!
[19:34] Rietz
    You were planning to lure us there,
[19:37] Rietz
    then use your hidden catalyzer to trigger
    the sound magic when we arrived.
[19:41] Jil
    N-No! I wasn't—
[19:48] Jil
    Yes. You're right.
[19:50] Freddie
    He almost had us fooled.
[19:52] Rietz
    But he's also simplified things for us.
[19:55] Rietz
    They won't send their soldiers here
    without the sound magic signal.
[20:00] Rietz
    Let's get around behind them and strike.
[20:03] Veteran Soldiers
    Sir!
[20:07] Alice
    They're on the move!
[20:09] Wren
    They're so fast!
[20:20] Ben
    Are Rosell and his men keeping up?
[20:23] Rietz
    We're moving swiftly, but I'm sure they are.
[20:37] Rietz
    If we take out Lord Ars here, we win.
[20:43] Rietz
    Now!
[20:52] Mireille
    Hey, nice work!
[20:54] Mireille
    Just like I expected.
[20:57] Mireille
    Great performance, kid.
[20:59] Gullar
    Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
[21:01] Ben
    Where are the other soldiers?!
[21:05] Mireille
    You're so loyal and talented.
[21:06] Mireille
    And extremely predictable.
[21:08] Rietz
    What are you smiling about?
[21:11] Rietz
    I don't know what your plan was here...
[21:14] Rietz
    But this still ends when
    I take out your general.
[21:18] Rietz
    Did you really think you could escape me?
[21:22] Ars
    He's angry! Rietz is out
    of his mind with rage!
[21:25] Mireille
    Oh, how scary.
[21:27] Mireille
    But I've got faith in my speed and stamina.
[21:32] Rietz
    Interesting. We've got that in common.
[21:35] Mireille
    Okay, then...
[21:38] Mireille
    Time to start a game of tag!
[21:41] Rietz
    All men... charge!
[21:45] Ars
    I really feel like you're driving
     that wedge deeper!
[23:25] Ars
    W-We're playing tag with Rietz?!
[23:27] Ars
    There's no way we're gonna win!
[23:29] Mireille
    Aw, what's wrong, Ars?
[23:31] Ars
    Mireille! Are you sure this
    plan is going to work?!
[23:34] Mireille
    Yeah, no idea.
[23:36] Ars
    So it might not?!

    Won't be that easy!
[02:53] Ars
    They really fell right for it!
[02:56] Ars
    I haven't seen a real trap since Rosell's.
[02:59] Ars
    And she used them on people?!

    A-Amazing!

[03:24] Mireille
    Okay, kiddo! That's your cue!

    R-Right!
[03:29] Rietz
    Get back here!
[03:40] Veteran Soldier 20
    M-My ears!
[03:42] Henry
    Crap, we lost her!
[03:43] Henry
    Where'd she go?!
[03:48] Rietz
    There you are!
[03:50] Rietz
    You won't escape!
[03:51] Ars
    T-Terrifying!
[03:53] Ars
    Rietz hasn't stopped!
     He's actually gotten angrier!
[03:57] Mireille
    Shucks, he's still on our tail after all that?
[04:01] Mireille
    We haven't gotten the
    newbies' signal yet, though...
[04:08] Alice

[04:09] Bridget

[04:18] Licia
    Beat the crap outta Mireille!
[04:21] Jean
    Lady Licia?!
[04:24] Licia
    Don't you agree, Jean?
[04:27] Kreiz
    Hey, Wren.
[04:28] Wren
    What is it, Kreiz?
[04:30] Kreiz
    Where'd our brother's soldiers go?
[04:34] Licia
    That's a good question...
[04:41] Charlotte
    Hey, we're getting further
    separated than we meant to.
[04:44] Charlotte
    Shouldn't we hurry and catch up with 'em?
[04:47] Rosell
    No...
[04:48] Rosell
    Their reason for rushing ahead could
    be due to an emergency situation.
[04:53] Rosell
    Which means we should actually keep our
    distance from Rietz's unit right now.
[05:01] Newbie Soldier 1
    There he is! It's Rosell!
[05:03] Newbie Soldier 2
    Launch the signal!
[05:07] Rosell
    Huh?
[05:08] Rosell
    That's only half of them...
[05:10] Rosell
    Are the others dealing with Rietz?
[05:13] Rosell
    If so, there's no chance of
    reinforcements showing up.
[05:18] Rosell
    With equal numbers,
    we should have the advantage!
[05:21] Rosell
    Fight back now!
[05:23] Eis
    You got it.
[05:25] Veteran Soldier
    We'll take these newbies out in no time!
[05:32] Newbie Soldier 1
    It's true that we can't beat you one-on-one.
[05:35] Newbie Soldier 1
    Mireille said as much.
[05:37] (Flashback) Mireille
    Hey, newbies.
[05:39] (Flashback) Mireille
    Those other guys made a point
    of saying how weak you were.
[05:44] (Flashback) Newbie Soldier 1
    Well...
[05:45] (Flashback) Newbie Soldier 2
    That's understandable.
[05:47] (Flashback) Mireille
    They are stronger, it's true.
[05:51] (Flashback) Mireille
    But doesn't it tick you off?
[05:56] (Flashback) Mireille
    Don't you want to make those big, tough
    veterans eat their words for once?
[06:04] (Flashback) Mireille
    So...
[06:06] Newbie Soldier 1
    It's two...
[06:07] Newbie Soldier 2
    ...against one!
[06:12] Newbie Soldier 1
    Get them!
[06:18] Rosell
    Almost all of them are here?!
[06:20] Rosell
    That means Rietz's unit must be...
[06:23] Licia
    ...facing Mireille all by herself?
[06:31] (Flashback) Mireille
    Knowing Rietz and Rosell,
    they'll probably split up.
[06:37] (Flashback) Mireille
    I'll lure Rietz and his men away.
[06:39] (Flashback) Mireille
    While I do, all of you
    go after Rosell together!
[06:43] Rosell
    We're outnumbered...
[06:46] Rosell
    They're beating us!
[06:48] Charlotte
    Rosell...
[06:49] Charlotte
    We gotta run!
[06:52] Newbie Soldier 2
    They're getting away! After them!
[06:54] Charlotte
    We'll meet up with Rietz!
[06:55] Newbie Soldiers
    Get them!
[06:56] Newbie Soldiers
    Come back here!
[06:57] Charlotte
    Let's trust that Rietz will
    take down Big Sis Mireille
[07:00] Charlotte
    and buy him some time!
[07:02] Charlotte
    Rosell, cover your ears!
[07:10] Mireille
    That'll be Charlotte. Nice!
[07:12] Mireille
    Now we know exactly where Rosell is.
[07:14] Ars
    Surely that's hardly relevant right now!
[07:17] Ars
    Rietz is gaining on us!
[07:20] Mireille
    No way!
[07:21] Rietz
    That sound just now must
    have been Rosell's unit.
[07:25] Rietz
    I thought we'd put considerable
    distance between us.
[07:28] Rietz
    What are they doing so close by?
[07:30] Rietz
    Don't tell me...
[07:31] Rosell
    W-Wow, that was loud!
[07:33] Rosell
    Nice work, Charlotte.
[07:35] Charlotte
    Good luck, everyone...
[07:36] Rosell
    Charlotte!
[07:38] Newbie Soldier 1
    There he is!
[07:39] Newbie Soldier 2
    Right there!
[07:41] Rosell
    Don't make me run so much!
[07:44] (Flashback) Mireille
    You don't have to take
    their general just yet.
[07:47] (Flashback) Mireille
    What matters is getting Rosell
    moving in the right direction!
[07:50] Rosell
    Rietz!
[07:54] Licia
    Mireille was after Rosell from the start!
[07:58] Licia
    Her objective wasn't to provoke Rietz
    and split up the veteran soldiers.
[08:04] Licia
    Her real goal was...
[08:08] Licia
    This battle is all but won.
[08:10] Licia
    Let us see its conclusion for ourselves.
[08:14] Rietz
    I won't let you make it to Rosell!
[08:17] Mireille
    Looks like he's caught on.
[08:20] Mireille
    Ars, hold on tight!
[08:22] Mireille
    Time for the last dash!
[08:27] Ars
    Mireille, you can still run this fast?!
[08:32] Ars
    He's coming.
[08:36] Mireille
    Wow! I've never met anyone
    faster than me before!
[08:40] Ars
    Rietz...
[08:41] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[08:44] Rietz
    Since that day, I have remained by
    your side to repay your faith in me.
[08:49] (Flashback) Ars
    I need you, Rietz!
[08:52] Rietz
    You didn't care about my race or origin.
[08:54] Rietz
    You just needed me.
[08:57] Rietz
    I've wielded my sword to
    make your dreams come true.
[09:00] Rietz
    In order to remain your
    most trusted guardian...
[09:04] Rietz
    I cannot lose to someone like her!
[09:07] Rietz
    I will catch you!
[09:09] Mireille
    Well, darn.
[09:14] Ars
    Th-They're both way too fast!
[09:17] Ars
    I'm getting dizzy!
[09:19] Mireille
    Hey, found ya!
[09:24] Ars
    Rosell!
[09:29] Rietz
    Rosell, don't stop!
[09:31] Rietz
    I'm about to take Mireille down!
[09:41] Mireille
    Ars!
[09:42] Ars
    I'm sorry, Rietz!
[09:45] Mireille
    No escape for you!
[09:50] Ars
    He didn't stop!
[09:52] Rietz
    Forgive me, Lord Ars!
[10:16] Mireille
    And that's the win.
[10:24] Mireille
    There we go.
[10:25] Mireille
    Whew, heavy kid!
[10:27] Ars
    Despite our disadvantage,
    she's this calm about winning...
[10:35] Mireille
    Really worked me up a sweat.
[10:37] Mireille
    I'd love a beer right now!
[10:39] Ars
    No wonder she was advisor
    to the late Governor of Missian.
[10:42] Ars
    She's incredible!
[10:44] Rosell
    I'm sorry.
[10:46] Rietz
    No, it's my fault for failing to stop her.
[10:49] Newbie Soldiers
    Yeah! We won!

    As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,
    
    I'll Use My Appraisal Skill
     to Rise in the World
[10:53] Jean
    It's over, then?
[10:54] Licia
    Yes.
[10:57] sign
    As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,
    
    I'll Use My Appraisal Skill
     to Rise in the World
[10:57] Ars
    I will now announce the results!
[10:59] Ars
    The victor is... Mireille's team!
[11:02] Newbie Soldier A
    Yeah! We won!
[11:04] Newbie Soldier B
    I can't believe it!
[11:06] Veteran Soldier 2
    It was all dirty tricks.
[11:08] Veteran Soldier 3
    We'd have won in a fair fight.
[11:12] Rietz
    What are you talking about?
[11:14] Rietz
    In battle, "dirty" and "fair" are irrelevant.
[11:17] Rietz
    Besides, we had the superior force.
[11:21] Rietz
    We have no right whatsoever to complain.
[11:25] Rietz
    We must simply accept the result.
[11:28] Rosell
    Yes, I agree.
[11:35] Rietz
    I do find Mireille's attitude hard to swallow.
[11:39] Rietz
    But she also led them to victory.
[11:43] Rietz
    That's not something just anyone could do.
[11:49] Rietz
    I'm sorry I wasn't able
    to lead you to victory.
[11:53] Rietz
    I intend to learn more from Mireille.
[11:56] Veteran Soldier
    Rietz...
[12:00] Rietz
    Mireille.
[12:04] Rietz
    Regrettably, we must accept defeat.
[12:09] Rietz
    You truly are brilliant.
[12:11] Rietz
    I apologize for my rudeness.
[12:13] Rosell
    I now understand why you made me run, too.
[12:16] Rosell
    I'll do my best, so please
    continue to tutor me.
[12:19] Veteran Soldier A
    Please help us from now on, as well.
[12:23] Charlotte
    See? It's just like I told you!
[12:26] Charlotte
    She's awesome!
[12:30] Ars
    The way this is going... Will Mireille
    say something to ruin the moment?
[12:35] Mireille
    Man...
[12:36] Mireille
    You guys were freaking awesome!
[12:40] Mireille
    First, Rietz!
[12:42] Mireille
    I knew you were pretty incredible,
[12:44] Mireille
    but I didn't expect you to come
    that close to catching me.
[12:47] Mireille
    And if Charlotte had gone all-out,
[12:50] Mireille
    we wouldn't have stood
    a chance to begin with.
[12:53] Mireille
    And...
[12:54] Rosell
    I-I'm sorry.
[12:56] Rosell
    All I did was run around...
[12:59] Mierille
    Was it your call to keep distance
    from Rietz's unit on the move?
[13:03] Rosell
    Y-Yes.
[13:05] Mireille
    Of course it was! I knew you had
    a good head on your shoulders.
[13:09] Mireille
    You're why that was kinda
    skin-of-my-teeth at the end.
[13:12] Mireille
    Boy, I bet we're in for
    some interesting times.
[13:17] Mireille
    And...
[13:18] Mireille
    Ars! You're the most amazing of all
    for having such awesome retainers.
[13:23] Ars
    M-Me?!
[13:25] Mireille
    Yep.
[13:26] Mireille
    Some lord of a backwater domain bringing
    together all these strong kids...
[13:31] Mireille
    Just what are you plotting, anyway?
[13:35] Ars
    Huh? Plotting?
[13:37] Ars
    Um, well...
[13:40] Ars
    At first, I wanted to build a strong
    domain that could survive a war.
[13:44] Ars
    But now I just want to build a domain
    where children can live happily.
[13:52] Mireille
    Okay, got it.
[13:54] Mireille
    So you'd rather go without war, is that it?
[13:58] Ars
    Yes.
[13:59] Mireille
    In that case...
[14:02] Mireille
    I guess you'd better become king, huh?
[14:11] Ars
    Wait, king? You mean the emperor?!
[14:15] Mireille
    Well, wanna get started?
[14:17] Mireille
    I think you could pull it off.
[14:25] Ars
    Me? Emperor?
[14:28] (Flashback) Raven
    I was worried about how you'd fare
     in the chaotic age to come...
[14:33] (Flashback) Raven
    But you may yet become a great man.
[14:35] (Flashback) Ars
    Me? A great man?
[14:37] (Flashback) Raven
    You could become a powerful noble...
[14:40] (Flashback) Raven
    Or perhaps even the emperor himself.
[14:43] (Flashback) Ars
    The emperor?!
[14:48] Mireille
    Well, the best thing to follow
    up a good sweat is booze!
[14:51] Mireille
    Let's get this party rolling, everyone!
[14:54] Ars
    Licia...
[14:55] Licia
    Well done!
[14:57] Ars
    Thanks.
[15:00] Ars
    Um... So, everyone...
[15:03] Ars
    Well done in the mock battle!
[15:06] All
    Cheers to that!
[15:22] Ben
    Mireille won again!
[15:24] Erik
    How many times does that make?!
[15:25] Henry
    Sh-She's tough!
[15:28] Mireille
    You guys have a lot to learn.
[15:33] Marcus
    How much can she drink?
[15:35] Gatos
    Sh-She's a monster!
[15:37] Newbie Soldier 8
    We've seen what you can do.
[15:40] Newbie Soldier 8
    Can you teach us, too?
[15:42] Newbie Soldier D
    Yeah, yeah!
[15:43] Newbie Soldier D
    We wanna be strong!
[15:45] Mireille
    What? But there's not much to teach...
[15:51] Mireille
    I checked out your training.
[15:53] Mireille
    Rietz's instruction and
    training regimen are so good,
[15:57] Mireille
    I kinda have nothing to add.
[16:01] Mireille
    Besides, you guys are already way
    stronger than the average soldier.
[16:08] Newbie Soldier 8
    B-But then why didn't you
    say that to begin with?
[16:11] Mireille
    Point is, I'm nothing compared to Rietz!
[16:16] Rosell
    I...
[16:18] Rosell
    I finally understand why you made me run.
[16:23] Rosell
    If I had more stamina...
    If I could go faster...
[16:28] Rosell
    Maybe we would've won the mock battle.
[16:32] Rosell
    I thought that thinking up good
    tactics was all a strategist needed,
[16:37] Rosell
    but I suppose the battlefield
    demands more of you.
[16:41] Mireille
    That's right.
[16:43] Mireille
    You dying on the battlefield
    means even more soldiers die.
[16:48] Mireille
    That's how important a strategist is.
[16:51] Mireille
    You don't need to be able to fight yourself.
[16:54] Mireille
    But you can't use this if you're dead.
[17:01] Rosell
    I'll run!
[17:06] Charlotte
    Sorry 'bout that.
[17:07] Mireille
    That's right, Charlotte!
[17:10] Mireille
    I want you firing off spells
    behind Rosell as he's running.
[17:15] Mireille
    Then he'll really have to be fast.
[17:18] Charlotte
    No prob.
[17:21] Rosell
    Terrifying... Our women are terrifying!
[17:28] Licia
    I'm terribly sorry.
[17:30] Ars
    Huh? What are you apologizing for?
[17:33] Licia
    Mireille is clearly an impressive talent,
[17:36] Licia
    yet I succumbed to jealousy
    and acted shamefully before you.
[17:43] Licia
    Still...
[17:45] Licia
    You need not have worried.
[17:48] Licia
    She's carved out her own place here.
[17:53] Ars
    Yes. I'm glad.
[17:59] Ars
    Although...
[18:00] (Flashback) Mireille
    I think you could pull it off.
[18:07] Rietz
    Good evening.
[18:08] Ars
    Rietz!
[18:10] Ars
    Good evening.
[18:13] Ars
    Rietz?
[18:15] Ars
    Licia?
[18:16] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[18:19] Rietz
    Though it was merely a
    mock battle, I still lost.
[18:22] Rietz
    I failed to meet your expectations.
     Forgive me!
[18:25] Ars
    What? N-Not at all. You did fine!
[18:28] Ars
    I'm not even remotely concerned.
[18:30] Rietz
    It absolutely was not fine!
[18:34] Rietz
    That night, I swore an oath to Lord Raven.
[18:39] (Flashback) Raven
    Remain close by Ars's side and support him.
[18:44] Rietz
    Yet it turned out like this.
[18:47] Rietz
    I am ashamed.
[18:54] Ars
    This hasn't diminished my faith in you.
[18:59] Ars
    I look forward to continuing
    to work with you.
[19:02] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[19:04] Rietz
    I will devote myself to training twice over.
[19:12] Ars
    Still... this shows just
    how amazing Mireille is.
[19:16] Rietz
    Loath as I am to admit it, it does.
[19:20] Ars
    What do you think of what Mireille said?
[19:24] Ars
    About... me becoming emperor.
[19:28] Rietz
    I think it's quite a statement.
[19:31] Rietz
    But it didn't surprise me.
[19:34] Ars
    She said emperor, though.
[19:36] Ars
    I could never go that far.
[19:39] Ars
    She was joking, surely.
[19:42] Rietz
    Do you think so?
[19:43] Rietz
    I feel the same way Mireille does.
[19:56] Ars
    If I said I wanted a world without war...
[20:01] Ars
    And that I wanted to become lord
    of these lands to make that happen...
[20:07] Ars
    How would you react?
[20:12] Rietz
    I would accompany you all the way there.
[20:15] Rietz
    I will clear the path for you, Lord Ars.
[20:27] Ars
    Thank you.
[20:31] Wren/Kreiz
    See you, Big Sis!
[20:34] Licia
    Well, I should be going.
[20:37] Ars
    All right. I'll write you again.
[20:39] Licia
    Of course. I'll be waiting.
[20:42] Soldier C
    Mireille!
[20:44] Soldier C
    Don't sleep in!
[20:45] Soldier D
    Get to training already!
[20:47] Mireille
    What, again?
[20:52] Reitz
    Next! You there!
[20:54] Soldiers
    Rietz!
[20:55] Soldiers
    I think he's more terrifying than before!
[20:57] Rosell
    Stop it! I'm already running!
[20:57] Charlotte
    I'm gonna catch up!
[21:00] Charlotte
    C'mon!
[21:06] Alice
    Lord Ars, there's a letter for you.
[21:11] Ars
    It's from Lord Couran. Another summons.
[21:15] Ars
    He wants us to take part in his war council.
[21:19] Ars
    Mireille, please come along
    and lend us your wisdom.
[21:22] Mireille
    Sure, sure.
[21:24] Mireille
    Can we take Rosell, too?
[21:26] Ars
    Of course!
[21:27] Ars
    I'm counting on you, Rosell.
[21:29] Rosell
    I-I'll do my best!
[21:31] Charlotte
    And I'll be there this time, too!
[21:34] Rietz
    Remember, it's a meeting and not a party.
[21:37] Charlotte
    I know that!
[21:39] Ars
    Well, let's prepare to set out!
