As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World
In a land where nobles usually flex their swords, Ars Louvent flexes his Appraisal Skill! Join this not-so-brawny noble scion as he turns his small domain into a force to be reckoned with, all while navigating through a world of magical prowess. Spoiler alert: Ars’ Appraisal Skill is mightier than any sword, and his journey is as twisty as a wyvern in a maze.

This land was once controlled
by seven kingdoms:

He was an incredible man.

Good morning.

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.

Thank you.

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...

[05:35] Ars
He has high aptitude as an archer.
[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...

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.

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...

[12:38] Ars
I want you to become my retainer!

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...

[17:25] 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

You always feed us such
delicious food, after all.
[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

[02:46] Ars

[02:56] Bridget
So strong and so learned...
[02:57] Bridget
And a quick study, too.
[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

Raven Louvent
[07:05] Ars

[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

[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.

Well, we've only just started.
[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?

You're the amazing one.

in attempting to defraud this boy?
[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.
[13:11] Egg Seller

[13:13] Ars
I get it! I won't buy them!

No, no! I really appreciate
you saving me back there!

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...
[23:33] Ars
Let's get to Charlotte at once, Rietz!
[23:36] Rietz
My lord!

You've got some nerve busting

What if I am, sir?
[05:28] Ars
Release this girl at once.
[05:30] Albert
I'm afraid I don't follow, young man.
[05:34] Albert
She's a slave. She's merchandise.
[05:37] Albert
You nobles are the ones always buying
them in secret. Surely you understand.
[05:42] Ars
I do not.
[05:43] Charlotte
Are you stupid?!

[06:15] Ars
Your ambition is only 1.
[06:19] Albert
Huh? "Ambition"?
[06:21] Ars
It's 1!
[06:22] Albert
What are you talking about?
[06:24] Ars
Ambition refers to someone's
personal hopes for themselves.
[06:29] Ars
It can occasionally lead to them
being betrayed or threatened.
[06:33] Ars
But...
[06:34] Ars
It also represents a desire
to improve, tenacity,
[06:37] Ars
and hope for the future!
[06:41] Ars
And hers is just 1.
[06:44] Ars
She's given up on her future.
[06:46] Ars
Can you imagine anything sadder than that?
[06:50] Albert
Her future?
[06:53] Albert
That's because she's a slave, young man!
[06:55] Albert
What would a slave do with a future?
[06:58] Ars
What are you laughing about?!
[07:00] Ars
It's an adult's job to protect
the future of children.
[07:04] Ars
How can you steal hers away
and laugh about it?!
[07:07] Ars
It should be up to her to
decide what she becomes!
[07:10] Ars
Not you people!
[07:17] Charlotte
When was the last time I cried?
[07:20] Charlotte
I don't remember anymore.
[07:22] Charlotte
Crying doesn't get you anything.
[07:25] Charlotte
It doesn't help you survive.
[07:29] Charlotte
I gave up on dreams first.
[07:32] Charlotte
Because our destinies are decided
the moment we're born.
[07:44] Charlotte
Disgusted glares, verbal and physical abuse...
[07:47] Charlotte
Closing off my heart kept
them from hurting me.
[07:51] (Flashback) Man
Hey!
[07:53] Charlotte
Tears are for the weak.
[07:55] Charlotte
And weakness means death.
[07:57] Charlotte
I decided I'd focus solely

[08:03] Charlotte
So...
[08:05] Charlotte
Why am I crying now?
[08:09] Punk D
I don't like this brat's tone.
[08:13] Albert
Enough.
[08:15] Albert
Even if he's a child, he is a noble.
[08:17] Albert
So I've been more than considerate...
[08:19] Albert
But I'm quite done with this little farce.
[08:23] Charlotte
Hurry up and get out of here!

It's all right. Just hold on a little longer.

I'm aware of that. That's why...
[11:21] Ars
I'm going to pay.
[11:22] Ars
I'm going to buy her.
[11:26] Albert
Don't be ridiculous!
[11:27] Albert
That won't be the end of this.
[11:29] Rietz
Mr. Albert.
[11:32] Rietz
The slave trade is built on trust.
[11:35] Rietz
You know that better than anyone, don't you?
[11:37] Albert
Wh-What are you getting at?
[11:39] Rietz
We're fully capable of taking her
with us regardless of what you do.
[11:43] Rietz
But that would ruin your reputation.
[11:47] Rietz
You'll have allowed a slave
with a buyer to be stolen.
[11:52] Rietz
Wouldn't you prefer the pretext that someone
came along offering a better price?
[11:58] Rietz
If you refuse to accept our offer,
[12:01] Rietz
we'll be forced to do what's necessary
to ensure her safety.
[12:07] Albert
Fine. Take her.
[12:11] Rietz
I'm so glad you're willing to be reasonable.
[12:13] Rietz
We'll throw in a little extra.
[12:16] Ars
Rietz!
[12:17] Ars
Thank you so much!
[12:19] Ars
It all worked out just like you said it would.
[12:22] Rietz
I'm honored to be of service.
[12:26] Ars
It's morning already.
[12:29] Ars
Let's get you home. Your friends are waiting.
[12:35] Charlotte
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

[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.

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

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!

I'm told the family lives
in the woods outside town.
[03:27] Charlotte
Ars!

You heading out somewhere?
[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!
[04:43] Rietz
They appear to be hunters.
[04:46] Gatos
People?!
[04:47] Gatos
I'm sorry! We didn't see you!

[05:03] Rietz
As for aptitude, Gatos has
A-rank potential for infantry,
[05:06] Rietz
and Marcus is A-ranked for archery.
[05:09] Gatos
Er... what brings you to this forest?
[05:13] Ars
I have a request to make of you!
[05:21] Greg
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...
[05:33] Charlotte
That's good stuff! What kind of meat is this?
[05:36] Gatos
It's the suw we caught earlier.
[05:38] Gatos
They're fast little guys,
so they're difficult to hunt,
[05:42] Gatos
but they're absolutely delicious.
[05:44] Charlotte
So good!
[05:46] Rietz
Show some decorum.
[05:48] Rietz
Don't you have any shame as an escort?
[05:51] Greg
So, well... what business does the son
of His Lordship have with us?
[05:58] Ars
We'd like to have Gatos and Marcus
serve as soldiers for House Louvent.
[06:04] Greg
You mean it?!
[06:06] Ars
Yes! They clearly both have talent.
[06:09] Rietz
Lord Ars has an impeccable eye for people.
[06:12] Greg
Isn't that wonderful, my boys?
[06:14] Greg
You've always said you wanted to
make names for yourselves as soldiers!
[06:18] Gatos
Yes!

We'll do our best!

Rosell? You have another son?

Yes.

Oh, really? Where is he now?

A max of 109?
[07:21] Ars
He's a monster!
[07:22] Ars
I doubt I'd find a higher stat in
all the Summerforth Empire...
[07:27] Ars
His current stats are low
because he's only five years old,
[07:30] Ars
but with proper training,
he'd be a brilliant retainer for sure!
[07:34] Greg
I'm terribly sorry.
[07:36] Greg
Like I said, he's quite inept
compared to his brothers...
[07:39] Ars
Sir...
[07:40] Ars
I dearly want him as a retainer, too!

So will you come with me, Rosell?
[08:03] Rosell
Me, a retainer?
[08:05] Rosell
You mean... I have to fight?

Screw that! I'll die! No way!

Rosell! How dare you talk to him like—
[08:21] Rosell
No!
[08:22] Greg
Hey, you—
[08:24] Greg
He shut himself up in his room again.
[08:27] Ars
A-Another rejection...
[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.
[10:05] Ars
Rosell...
[10:07] Ars
Would you like to come visit our library?
[10:10] Rosell

Yep!

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.

he tired himself out and fell asleep.

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

[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.

We're going to do you proud as soldiers.

[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
Wait, Big Brothers!
[19:54] Rosell
I'm going, too!
[19:55] Ars
Rosell?
[20:04] Ars
Rosell...
[20:05] Ars
If you go, you won't see
your father for a while...
[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
So... So...
[20:49] Rosell
Can we live together when that day comes?!
[20:54] Greg
Yes!
[20:55] Greg
I'll be right here waiting!
[21:01] Rosell
I'm on my way!
[21:03] Greg
Yes! Have a good trip!
[21:04] Gatos
Lord Ars!
[21:05] Rosell
Dad!
[21:07] Gatos
You've enabled Rosell to come
serve your house with us.
[21:08] Greg
You can come back whenever you're lonely!
[21:13] Marcus
Thank you!
[21:15] Ars
I didn't care if he became my retainer.
[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
Seeing their bond restored
makes me truly happy.
[21:38] Gatos
Lord Ars...
[21:39] Gatos
We'll serve you with all we have!
[21:41] Marcus
We'll become fine soldiers and keep you safe!
[21:45] Ars
Thank you.
[21:49] Rosell
I'll try hard, too!
[21:51] Ars
Glad to have you.
[21:53] Rosell
Thank you!
[23:25] Ars
With Rosell and his brothers joining us,
recruiting is going well!
[23:29] Rietz
Don't let your guard down.

Ars Louvent Age 9
[00:17] Raven
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
has pressed its offensive.
[01:08] Ars
I'll need to take to the battlefield after all.
[01:18] Coachman
We'll arrive in Lamberg shortly.
[01:20] Coachman
But with this rain...
[01:23] Licia
No, no.
[01:24] Licia
I believe the heavens are on our side.
[01:29] Raven
Ars.
[01:30] Raven
There's a far more urgent matter
you should be thinking about.
[01:35] Raven
Why are you acting so confused?
[01:37] Raven
I'm talking about the betrothal, of course.
[01:39] Ars
B-Betrothal?
[01:41] Ars
Whose betrothal?! Mine*?!
[01:43] Raven
Yes.
[01:44] Ars
When was that arranged?!
[01:46] Raven
I don't remember exactly.
[01:48] Raven
Didn't I tell you about it?
[01:50] Ars
N-Never...
[01:52] Raven
This letter arrived the other day.

Welcome to our home, Lady Licia!

Oh, how lovely!

What a wonderful gesture!
[05:39] Licia
Thank you so much!
[05:41] Licia
My name is Licia Pleide.
[05:43] Licia
It's my utmost pleasure to meet you.
[05:45] Licia
Your mansion is astounding!
[05:47] Licia
I can see all the hard work you put into it!
[05:53] Licia
The meat here is positively delicious!
[05:56] Ars
Y-Yes, it is!
[05:58] Ars
It's suw we caught with a
method called "trapping"...
[06:01] Licia
Lord Ars, I'm afraid you have
some sauce on your mouth.
[06:06] Ars
Pardon me!
[06:07] Ars
My communication skills are nil,
but she's keeping the conversation going.
[06:12] Ars
She's great at communication, she's
quick-witted, and her etiquette is masterful.
[06:18] Ars
And above all, she's utterly beautiful!
[06:21] Ars
If not for my Appraisal skill,
I'd be head-over-heels by now!
[06:27] Licia
I passed through the city of
Lamberg on my way here.
[06:31] Licia
It's a wonderfully lively place, isn't it?
[06:34] Ars
Thank you for saying so.
[06:36] Ars
If the weather were better,
I'd show you around myself.
[06:39] Licia
I'm sure you'll still be able to.
[06:47] Ars
Licia...
[06:48] Ars
Can you control the weather?!
[06:52] Licia
Perish the thought, Lord Ars!
[06:53] Licia
I was watching the clouds'
movement from my carriage.
[06:56] Licia
I could tell it was merely a passing rain.
[06:59] Licia
Now that it's cleared up,
please show me around the town!
[07:03] Charlotte
Rosell, what do you make of the girl?
[07:05] Rosell
She's very beautiful and well-mannered.

But she kind of... scares me.

You've got good instincts, kiddo.

I feel the same way.
[07:16] Charlotte
That girl smells dangerous.
[07:19] Licia
Let us go!

Very dangerous.

[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

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.

Episode 6 The Face of a Warrior
[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?
[03:19] All
Yes, sir.
[03:20] Raven
Rietz, I anticipate a summons
from Lord Lumeire shortly.
[03:25] Raven
Have our forces ready to move at any minute.
[03:28] Rietz
Yes, my lord.
[03:30] Raven
I'll make my own prepara—
[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.

Looks like it's time.
[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

I-It's a pleasure to meet you!
[05:50] Ars
I'm Ars Louvent.

I've come on my father's behalf.
[05:55] Menas

I appreciate the offer, but I've sworn
loyalty for life to House Louvent.

That's a true shame.
[06:41] Menas

L-Lord Lumeire!

[10:18] Lumeire
Now, now. I heard about Raven.
[10:21] Lumeire
He certainly needs his rest for now.

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.

I-I'll do my best!
[10:46] Lumeire

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...
[23:34] Charlotte
What?

I was told the enemy outnumbered
the Canarre Army by 50%,

by Louvent's forces,

to take the fortress in the end.

[02:43] Wren
Mother...
[02:44] Kreiz
Is Father going to die?
[02:54] Ars
Welcome home, all.
[02:57] Ars
You did splendidly.
[02:58] Rietz
L-Lord Ars?
[03:00] Rietz
Did you injure yourself somehow?
[03:02] Ars
Just training.
[03:04] Ars
I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
[03:07] Ars
But... how's Father?
[03:11] Rietz
It's as I wrote in my letter.
[03:13] Rietz
He performed admirably in battle...
[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.

[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...

We're all in the same boat here,
so don't worry!
[23:32] Rietz
You've never been to the sea.
How'd you learn about boats?
[23:35] Charlotte
Rosell said it!

[00:08] Ars
It's been three months since you passed.
[00:12] Ars
I'm still not entirely
used to my lordly duties,
[00:15] Ars
but I'm managing, thanks to everyone's help.
[00:21] Rietz
Lord Ars.
[00:23] Rietz
Are you all right?
[00:25] Ars
Yes.
[00:27] Ars
I'll never measure up to you,
[00:29] Ars

as the head of House Louvent.
[02:34] Lumeire
Ars.
[02:35] Ars
Right.
[02:37] Ars
I am the new lord, Ars Louvent.
[02:40] Ars
Inexperienced though I may be,
I will do my best to fulfill my role.
[02:44] Krall
I certainly see more confidence
in your eyes now.
[02:48] Hammond
We'll be counting on you.
[02:50] Lumeire
You now stand on even footing
with the rest of us.
[02:53] Lumeire
We expect great things from you.
[02:56] Ars
Yes, my lord.
[03:00] Lumeire
Regarding the armistice between
Lord Couran and Lord Vasmarque...
[03:04] Lumeire
Lord Couran, whose side we've chosen,
has successfully raised an army.
[03:09] Ars
The war's really starting now...
[03:12] Lumeire
We'll lay out the situation for you.
[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.
[03:44] Menas
For this reason, Lord Couran is attempting
to secure the neighboring districts,

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...

Louvent Estate, Days Earlier
[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?
[06:37] Orphans
Charlotte!
[06:39] Orphans
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
...s?
[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.
[11:48] sign
Rietz turned him down flat
[11:50] Rosell
Hold on, darn it!
[12:04] Licia
Good morning, Lord Ars!
[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
Good morning, Lord Ars!
[12:20] Rietz
I've received a message from Shadow.
[12:22] Charlotte
Hey, nice work.

It was nothing.
[12:33] Governess
You're welcome anytime.
[12:35] Orphan Kid
You'll come back again, won't you?
[12:38] Ars
Of course.
[12:39] Orphan C
Thanks for everything, Charlotte.
[12:42] Orphan C
We might be gone by the
next time you're here,
[12:46] Orphan C
but we'll do our best.
[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!
[16:45] Ars
I-I'm going to use the facilities.
[16:56] Ars
What was that all about?
[17:01] sign
Rietz Muses 23 Male
[17:04] Ars
My Appraisal skill seems to be functioning.
[17:07] Ars
But...
[17:10] Ars
A Prowess of 92 and an Ingenuity of 90?
[17:13] Ars
Those stats are incredible!
[17:15] Ars
And... he's a 22-year-old man?!
[17:18] Pham
Ars Louvent.
[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

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.
[21:02] Ars
What?
[21:03] Ars
Of course. The boss must
have realized it then, too...
[21:06] Licia
I'd appreciate it if you'd
always remain so transparent.
[21:10] Ars
Thank you. You saved my life.
[21:13] Ars
Sh-She's so dependable!

[21:17] Pham
Oh? Find out why Perreina District

The investigation was a success.

[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

[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.

Please let me pay you extra

[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.

[07:36] 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

My Appraisal lets me see stats,

[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

Perreina, and all have been turned away.

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

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.

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?!

[20:54] Ars
S-Surely a rural lord like me is
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

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.
[03:17] Ars
Yes!

Haven't seen him before.
[03:39] Ars
They're all staring!
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...

[04:58] Ars
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?
[12:56] Ars
I want to live up to his expectations.

[14:13] Vasmarque

[14:16] Thomas

He apparently wants us to sit
in on his strategy meetings.
[14:45] Charlotte
That's pretty awesome.
[14:47] Ars
He also asked me to find
talented people for him, but...
[14:52] Ars
Rietz, do you know of a more
efficient way to look for talent?
[14:58] Rietz
Well, we could always ask Shadow...
[15:02] Ars
You mean Pham?
[15:03] Rietz
They might have pertinent intelligence.
[15:08] Pham
Talented people, eh?
[15:10] Pham
Well, I could probably go looking.

What's the penalty if I accidentally
introduce you to a real loser?

There's no penalty, of course!

I'll add twenty gold to your price!

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.
[21:38] Ars
Even if Pham brought her here,
could she possibly be...

Let's check her out first.

[23:29] Rosell
No, absolutely not! We can't hire her!
[23:32] Ars
Why not?
[23:33] Rosell
I don't want another intimidating
woman around here!
[23:36] Ars
That's your reasoning?!

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.
[11:42] Mireille

Rietz's Team
[12:03] Charlotte
Gotta say, these teams are super unbalanced.
[12:05] Charlotte
You sure this is okay?
[12:07] Rietz
The strength of House Louvent is its unity.
[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!

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?!

If we catch Mireille, we win.
[02:38] Rietz
Let's take her with all we've got!
[02:41] Millais
Got you!
[02:43] Ars
They're here! They're here!
[02:47] Mireille
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?!
[03:01] Ars
A-Amazing!
[03:03] Ars
But...
[03:15] Rietz
Mireille!
[03:17] Ars
Those will never work on Rietz!
[03:19] Mireille
How vigorous!
[03:20] Henry
Follow after Rietz!
[03:23] Ars
Mireille!
[03:24] Mireille
Okay, kiddo! That's your cue!
[03:26] Ars
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
Almost there!
[04:09] Bridget
Now! You've got her!
[04:11] Licia
Look at her run, with Lord Ars
clinging to her back like that...
[04:16] Licia
Go, Rietz!
[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!

[10:59] Ars

[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.

[18:19] 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!

[00:00] Narrator
The authority of the
Summerforth Empire is waning,
[00:04] Narrator
giving rise to rebellion across the realm.
[00:06] Narrator
While noble rulers of various provinces
strengthened their autonomy,
[00:10] Narrator
Governor Amador Salamakhia
of Missian Province passed away.
[00:15] Narrator
Missian has thus been
divided into two factions
[00:18] Narrator
under the governor's eldest son,
Couran Salamakhia,
[00:21] Narrator
and his second son, Vasmarque Salamakhia.
[00:24] Narrator
Vasmarque occupies the provincial capital,
Arcantez, and has proclaimed himself the heir,
[00:29] Narrator
but Couran has mobilized forces to depose him.
[00:33] Narrator
Ars, lord of a small backwater
domain called Lamberg,
[00:38] Narrator
has set out by carriage
to take part in the war.

Mireille, Charlotte!
Please get down from there!

Let's discuss things in preparation
for the conference!
[01:00] Charlotte
You come join us, Ars!
[01:02] Charlotte
It feels great.
[01:03] Ars
Have you forgotten what we're doing?!
[01:05] Mireille
C'mon, you don't always see weather this nice.
[01:07] Mireille
Let's enjoy it while we can.
[01:11] Ars
What do you think, Rietz?
[01:13] Rietz
War councils can last for ages.
[01:16] Rietz
Mireille's right. Let's take it easy for now.
[01:20] Rietz
We'll be reaching Semplar soon...
[01:22] Rietz
Ah, you can see the sea now!
[01:24] Mireille
Gotta love that salt air!
[01:25] Rosell
It's the ocean!
[01:27] Charlotte
Wh-What's that?
[01:29] Charlotte
It's just water all the way to the horizon!
[01:31] Mireille
That's the ocean. You've never seen it before?
[01:33] Charlotte
Nope!
[01:34] Ars
Would you like to stop by for a look?
[01:36] Charlotte
Yeah!
[01:44] Charlotte
That's awesome.
[01:46] Charlotte
Is it really all water?
[01:48] Charlotte
Plenty to drink, at least...
[01:52] Charlotte
So salty!
[01:55] Mireille
The ocean's all it takes to surprise you, huh?
[01:56] Mireille
You're so adorable, Charlotte.
[01:59] Charlotte
You've been to other places
like this, Big Sis Mireille?
[02:03] Mireille
Well, I've done my share of travel.
[02:06] Mireille
I've gone to volcanic islands to
search for precious magistones.
[02:09] Mireille
Snowy mountains, too.
[02:12] Mireille
Been sightseeing at ancient
ruins a few times, even.
[02:15] Charlotte
That sounds so nice.
[02:18] Mireille
It's lots of fun.
[02:19] Mireille
Even makes your meals taste better.
[02:21] Ars
I know all about the joys
of seeing new worlds, too.
[02:26] Ars
Once the war is over and
our lands are at peace,
[02:29] Ars
let's go see all kinds of places together!
[02:32] Charlotte
That sounds pretty great.
[02:34] Charlotte
It's a promise.
[02:36] Rosell
Charlotte, look! There're so many fish!
[02:39] Charlotte
Fish? Where?
[02:43] Mireille
You sure have a talent
for winning people over.
[02:47] Ars
Where did that come from?
[02:50] Mireille
Hey, it's a good thing.
[02:53] Ars
Seeing my comrades smile makes me happy, too.
[02:56] Mireille
There you go again.
[03:04] Ars
Charlotte?!
[03:07] Charlotte
Just felt like firing one off.
[03:10] Rietz
Was that just...
[03:11] Rosell

You received Lord Couran's
invitation, as well?
[03:50] Ars
Yes.
[03:51] Lumeire
I'm pleased to see a domain
from Canarre District so honored.
[03:55] Ars
Thank you, my lord!
[03:56] Lords
Lord Couran...
[03:58] Couran
Ah, Ars! You made it.
[04:02] Couran
Is that you, Mireille?
[04:04] Mireille
Hiya.
[04:05] Ars
So they do know each other!
[04:07] Lords
Mireille?
[04:09] Lords
The old governor's former advisor?
[04:11] Couran
Nice to see you again.
[04:13] Couran
How long has it been since last we met?
[04:15] Couran
Since you rejected my offer, I believe.
[04:21] Couran
I thought you wanted out of politics.
[04:24] Couran
What are you doing with Ars?
[04:26] Mireille
Oh?
[04:27] Mireille
Thought I wouldn't mind giving it
one last go with the kid here.
[04:33] Mireille
Also, I thought he'd be
a more suitable master...
[04:37] Mireille
than you.
[04:38] Esteban
How dare you?!
[04:42] Couran
You still don't mince words, do you?
[04:45] Esteban
L-Lord Couran!
[04:47] Couran
Whatever your reasoning,
it's good to have you here.
[04:51] Couran
I'm counting on you.
[04:52] Esteban
B-But Lord Couran...
[04:54] Alman
She's kin to Vasmarque's right hand,
Thomas Grangeon.
[05:00] Alman
There's always a chance she could be a spy.
[05:03] Couran
Not a problem.
[05:04] Couran
Mireille is now in service to Ars,
whom I've petitioned for aid.
[05:09] Couran
Couldn't this also be a good chance
to get information on the enemy force?
[05:13] Alman
Lord Couran...
[05:14] Couran
Enough!
[05:16] Couran
I trust in Ars's capabilities,
and he's hired her.
[05:19] Couran
And I won't tolerate any further
rudeness to him or his retinue.
[05:26] Couran
Mireille served the last governor brilliantly.
[05:30] Couran
We need her abilities to win this.
[05:33] Couran
Work with us, won't you?
[05:37] Alman
Very well, my lord.
[05:38] Alman
If you're that determined to have her...
[05:41] Couran
I appreciate it.
[05:43] Couran
Now, let's start the council.
[05:47] sign
Ingenuity
[05:48] Barney
I'll report the current state of the war.
[05:51] Barney
Our forces number 110,000.
[05:53] Barney
The enemy outnumbers us by roughly 20,000.
[05:57] Barney
However, control of the trade city
of Semplar leaves us flush with capital.
[06:01] Barney
We'll be able to fund the
war effort for several years.
[06:04] Barney
We also have an advantage
in the quality of our troops.
[06:07] Couran
But they have more talented
commanding officers.
[06:12] Couran
I've received word that neutral
nobles are beginning
[06:15] Couran
to join Vasmarque's side,
drawn in by their talents.
[06:19] Couran
In other words, there's no guarantee
that we'll have the advantage,
[06:23] Couran
and at this rate, we'll
remain stuck in a deadlock.
[06:26] Couran
Defeating Vasmarque is step one to
establishing an independent nation.
[06:31] Couran
I don't want to waste time on this.
[06:33] Couran
I want ideas that will turn the tide quickly.
[06:38] Chad
Why not take the eastern city of Verzud?
[06:42] Chad
It's one of the three largest cities
alongside Semplar and Arcantez,
[06:46] Chad
but it won't be as well defended as Arcantez.
[06:50] Chad
With a show of strength from our side,
we can whittle down their forces
[06:55] Chad
and maybe win some nobles back!
[06:57] Chad
We could mount an attack on two fronts!
[06:59] Chad
To secure future victory, we should first
direct all our forces toward taking Verzud!
[07:05] Nobles
Yeah! That's right!
[07:19] Ars
Yeah, guess that wasn't a very good idea...
[07:23] Ars
Excuse me. Could you share what
you're thinking with everyone?
[07:28] Mireille
You first, Rietz.
[07:31] Rietz
I'd rather hear your opinion on the situation.
[07:34] Rietz
Just watch how you phrase it.
[07:36] Ars
No, everyone's fate is riding on this meeting.
[07:40] Ars
Please be forthright.
[07:45] Mireille
Okay, listen.
[07:46] Mireille
Are you guys being serious right now?
[07:49] Mireille
All these people here, and that's
the best you could come up with?
[07:52] Mireille
What a bunch of dopes.
[07:53] Alman
What was that?! Watch your—
[07:55] Couran
Continue.
[08:01] Mireille
To be blunt, at this rate,
you guys are guaranteed to lose.
[08:08] Chad
H-How could you say that?!
[08:10] Mireille
Everyone knows that no matter how good
your troops or how rich you are,
[08:14] Mireille
it means nothing if you lack worthwhile
commanders to use that efficiently.
[08:19] Mireille
There's no way you guys
can win as things stand.
[08:22] Chad
How dare you?! You'll pay for—
[08:24] Mireille
Let me tell you about Vasmarque.
[08:26] Mireille
He's a coward hiding behind
the guise of a perfectionist.
[08:29] Mireille
He won't move unless he knows he'll win.
[08:32] Mireille
So he's waiting until his odds are 100% certain.
[08:37] Mireille
In other words...
[08:39] Mireille
It's by pure chance that you
guys aren't already dead.
[08:43] Mireille
I'd reckon that in all-out war right now,
they'd win in seven out of ten cases.
[08:51] Mireille
What was your idea again? Invade Verzud?
[08:55] Mireille
You'd need a ton of troops to take it,
[08:58] Mireille
so what happens to Semplar in the meantime?
[09:01] Chad
W-Well...
[09:04] Mireille
If they take this place, we're done for.
[09:07] Mireille
If I were Vasmarque, I'd strike
the second you guys marched out.
[09:12] Mireille
Then you'd have to run right
back to defend Semplar,
[09:17] Mireille
with only your failure to
take Verzud to show for it.
[09:21] Mireille
Meanwhile, the enemy's mounted
a clever attack while you were away.
[09:25] Mireille
It's obvious how it would look.
[09:27] Mireille
More nobles will end up joining their side.
[09:33] Mireille
Your undoing will be your inability to
properly estimate your foe's abilities.
[09:38] Mireille
Basically... overconfidence, you know?
[09:43] Couran
Wait.
[09:44] Couran
We finally have an objective evaluation.
[09:47] Couran
And I agree with it.
[09:49] Chad
Lord Couran!
[09:50] Couran
But I still want to win this war at any cost.
[09:54] Couran
Mireille, do you have any ideas?
[09:56] Mireille
Well, let's see...
[09:59] Mireille
What do you think, Rosell?
[10:01] Rosell
What? Oh, right!
[10:02] Caeden
A child?
[10:03] Daphna
What's a child doing here?
[10:05] Ars
He's my domain's strategist.
[10:07] Chad
He's a strategist?
[10:09] Chad
Such a child could never
come up with a decent plan!
[10:12] Couran
Let's hear it.
[10:13] Chad
L-Lord Couran!
[10:16] Rosell
R-Right.
[10:17] Rosell
I've been thinking since before we got here.
[10:20] Rosell
Taking Verzud is a good plan.
[10:23] Rosell
But there is the chance they could
attack Semplar while we're doing it.
[10:28] Rosell
If we're worried about our defenses,
we need a way to keep our foe locked down.
[10:32] Couran
How?
[10:34] Rosell
Make them think that if they leave Arcantez,
they'll be attacked on both sides.
[10:39] Rosell
Could we lure the Province of Paradille
to the north into the fray?
[10:44] Rosell
We'll make them think Paradille is going
to attack Arcantez from the north.
[10:47] Nobles
Paradille?!
[10:48] Nobles
Impossible!
[10:49] Nobles
With our own province divided? Unthinkable!
[10:52] Dryst
Paradille has sworn loyalty
to the imperial family.
[10:56] Dryst
I'm sure they've heard word of
Missian's desire for independence.
[11:01] Dryst
They'll never help us.
[11:03] Rosell
True, which is why we'll request an
intermediary between us and Paradille.
[11:07] Nobles
An intermediary?
[11:08] Nobles
Who would do that?
[11:09] Rosell
The emperor of Summerforth!
[11:12] Couran
The emperor?
[11:14] Rosell
Let's bribe the emperor!
[11:21] Dryst
Even with their authority waning, I doubt the
imperial family will be swayed by money.
[11:27] Rietz
You think not?
[11:29] Rietz
The current emperor is
a mere boy of seventeen.
[11:31] Rietz
The retainers around him hold the real power.
[11:34] Rietz
As they are the source of the corruption,
it's very likely they can be bought.
[11:39] Mireille
Make use of our true strength
to minimize bloodshed?
[11:43] Mireille
I think it's a good plan, personally...
[11:46] Mireille
Couran?
[11:53] Couran
It's settled.
[11:54] Couran
We'll request the imperial family's intervention
to gain Paradille Province's cooperation.
[12:00] Couran
Ars.
[12:01] Ars
M-My lord?
[12:02] Couran
I leave the execution of this plan,
including personnel, to you.
[12:02] Sign
Great Commission
[12:08] Couran
This was your subordinate's idea.
[12:11] Couran
I'll prepare the funds you need.
[12:13] Couran
Lumeire, you assist him.
[12:16] Lumeire
My lord.
[12:18] Couran
Get to it.
[12:22] Chad
Lord Couran!
[12:31] Ars
Yes, my lord!
[12:35] Mireille
Nice work, Rosell!
[12:38] Mireille
If this works, we'll stand head and
shoulders above the other retainers.
[12:42] Ars
Oh, honestly...
[12:44] Ars
And what happens to us if we fail?
[12:46] Mireille
Hey, no worries there.
[12:48] Charlotte
But can we really just
ask the emperor for stuff?
[12:53] Charlotte
He's kind of a big deal, right?
[12:55] Ars
I'm sure if Rietz handles negotiations—
[12:57] Rietz
Discrimination is severe
in the empire's capital.
[13:01] Rietz
It would be better not to send me.
[13:03] Mireille
I agree on that point.
[13:05] Mireille
I'm not cut out for that stuff, either.
[13:08] Ars
Then what do I do?!
[13:10] Charlotte
How about that other one?
[13:13] Charlotte
Much as it ticks me off...
[13:14] Rosell
Yes, that might be best.

Hey.

Good to see you again, Ars.
[13:47] Ars
Lord Hammond!
[13:48] Ars
It's been too long.
[13:50] Ars
Thank you for allowing us to visit.
[13:53] Hammond
Not at all.
[13:53] Hammond
I've been wanting to see you, too.
[13:56] Hammond
I hear Lord Couran held a
military conference recently.
[13:59] Hammond
Any new movement to report?
[14:01] Ars
Yes.
[14:02] Ars
As I wrote in my letter,
[14:05] Ars
I've come today to consult
with Licia about the war—
[14:07] Licia
Lord Ars, before we talk...
[14:09] Hammond
Licia!
[14:12] Licia
Let me give you a proper welcome!
[14:18] Rietz
I'm sorry you had to feed me, too.
[14:21] Hammond
Don't be ridiculous.
You're also a welcome guest.
[14:25] Hammond
Both Ars and Licia seem
to respect you greatly.
[14:28] Rietz
As a Malkan, I'm sure I'm unworthy.
[14:32] Hammond
Don't worry about the
circumstances of your birth.
[14:34] Hammond
Not at the Lamberg and
Pleide estates, at least.
[14:38] Hammond
Now, that daughter of mine...
[14:40] Hammond
Ars came to discuss something important,
[14:43] Hammond
but the moment dinner's over,
she drags him off again.
[14:48] Ars
What a nice view of the town!
[14:50] Licia
I've been wanting to bring
you here if you ever came by.
[14:54] Licia
Until recently, I spent all my
time holed up in our estate,
[14:58] Licia
but I've begun interacting
with the townspeople little by little.
[15:03] Licia
I even made several friends!
[15:07] Licia
I've come to value our domain
even more than before.
[15:14] Licia
And it's made me appreciate you and the
valiant way you protect your town all the more.
[15:20] Licia
My father is always telling me about
the wonderful things you're doing.
[15:25] Licia
I fear he may be a bit jealous, even.
[15:29] Licia
I'm joking.
[15:31] Ars
I mean, my comrades are the
ones doing most of the work...
[15:35] Licia
I've admired that about you for so long.
[15:40] Ars
Huh?
[15:48] Licia
Oh, I completely forgot!
[15:51] Licia
There's one more thing I want to show you.
[15:54] Ars
That was a seriously dangerous moment!
[15:58] Ars
Wow, look at all the flowers!
[16:01] Licia
They're all from the ones you gave me.
[16:03] Licia
They were just so beautiful,
I couldn't help but grow more!
[16:08] Ars
It's nice to know she's treasured them so much.
[16:12] Licia
By the way, Lord Ars,
what did you want to ask me?
[16:17] Ars
It's actually quite serious, so I'll need
Lord Hammond's permission, as well.
[16:21] Licia
No.
[16:22] Licia
I decide what I do for myself.
[16:25] Licia
That's why we're walking around
without anyone to interrupt.
[16:28] Licia
My father is such a worrywart, after all.
[16:30] Ars
I-I see.
[16:32] Ars
Then...
[16:33] Ars
Actually...
[16:35] Sign
Promise
[16:38] Licia
Gracious! You want me to take
on such an important task?
[16:42] Ars
Yes.
[16:43] Ars
It's a negotiation,
but it's also in a foreign land,
[16:45] Ars
so I can't fully guarantee your safety.
[16:48] Licia
I'm so glad you asked me. I accept!
[16:50] Ars
Yes, I didn't think you'd—
[16:51] Ars
What?!
[16:53] Licia
I made up my mind to do
anything you asked me!
[16:56] Ars
B-But to decide so quickly...
[16:59] Licia
In exchange...
[17:01] Licia
Could I ask something of you, as well?
[17:04] Ars
Something of me?
[17:07] Ars
What could it be? Is something troubling her?
[17:10] Ars
It doesn't look that way...
[17:13] Ars
Still, Licia's asking for my help.
[17:16] Ars
I want to do whatever I can for her.
[17:19] Ars
Please, ask away.
[17:21] Licia
Then...
[17:24] Licia
Well...
[17:26] Licia
When the war is over, please marry me!
[17:29] Ars
What? Marry?
[17:31] Ars
M-M-M-Marry?!
[17:33] Ars
Th-This is so sudden!
[17:34] Licia
It's not sudden at all.
[17:36] Licia
I made up my mind to do
this the day we first met.
[17:41] Licia
I still remember our journey through Lamberg.
[17:50] Licia
I want a front-row seat to the
kind world that you create.
[17:58] Ars
She's telling me just how she feels.
[18:01] Ars
Licia genuinely loves me.
[18:06] Ars
Thinking back, she's truly
done so much for me...
[18:11] Ars
I told myself I'd say it outright
the next time we met.
[18:15] Ars
What am I thinking?
[18:20] Ars
I'm sorry!
[18:23] Ars
I'm a worthless man.
[18:25] Ars
I ended up making you say it...
[18:28] Ars
So please let me say this instead.
[18:32] Ars
Marry me right now!
[18:35] Ars
I've loved you since the day I first met you.
[18:39] Ars
And you've been a huge
help to me all this time.
[18:44] Ars
It's true that we could have a more relaxed
wedding if we wait until the war's over.
[18:49] Ars
But there's no telling when that might be,
[18:51] Ars
or what further dangers we may
encounter in the meantime.
[18:56] Ars
I really don't have much to offer, despite
being surrounded by amazing comrades...
[19:01] Ars
But even in the middle of a war,
I at least want you by my side to protect you.
[19:08] Ars
So let's get married immediately!
[19:16] Licia
I have no intention whatsoever
of letting you protect me.
[19:20] Licia
I intend to protect you!
[19:22] Licia
Please continue to walk the path
you've chosen, as you always have.
[19:28] Licia
You have so many wonderful,
reliable people around you.
[19:33] Licia
As one of them, and as your wife...
[19:37] Licia
I swear to give my entire life
to seeing your dreams come true!
[19:46] Ars
No!
[19:47] Ars
I'm going to protect you!
[20:09] Hammond
What?!
[20:10] Hammond
M-M-M-Marriage?!
[20:12] Hammond
What's the meaning of this?!
[20:13] Rietz
This is quite sudden...
[20:16] Ars
Please give me your
daughter's hand in marriage!
[20:19] Hammond
Hold it! Hold it!
[20:20] Hammond
It's far too soon for you to get married!
[20:23] Licia
I am determined, as well.
[20:26] Licia
I won't change my mind about the
wedding, no matter what anyone says...
[20:31] Licia
Even you, Father.
[20:36] Hammond
You'd look at me that way?
[20:38] Hammond
You, who's always been so obedient,
[20:40] Hammond
always conducting yourself as people want...
[20:49] Hammond
Very well. Do as you wish.
[20:52] Hammond
And see that you support Ars to the end.
[21:00] Licia
I promise that I will!
[21:05] Ars
Th-Thank you for—
[21:07] Hammond
Okay, a feast! Prepare a feast!
[21:11] Rietz
But we haven't discussed the negotiations...
[21:13] Hammond
We can do that after!
[21:29] Pham
I finished investigating the
imperial family per your request.
[21:33] Pham
The one currently wielding
the emperor's authority...
[21:37] Pham
is Minister Shakma.
[21:39] Pham
His youth belies his ambition,
[21:41] Pham
and he shamelessly forwards whatever
policies benefit him personally.
[21:46] Licia
So he's who I need to win over?
[21:49] Pham
He'll be a tough opponent.
[21:51] Pham
Be careful, Ars.
[21:53] Ars
I will!
[23:25] Ars
Licia, I'm sorry to entrust this
important role to you so suddenly.
[23:28] Licia
Not at all! I'm quite delighted
to be of use to you!
[23:32] Ars
I'm happy to have you!
[23:33] Ars
Do I smell trouble on the horizon?
[23:36] Licia
Just leave all of that to me!

Episode 14 Negotiations
[00:00] Ars
Allow me to explain how these
negotiations are going to go.
[00:05] Ars
First, we'll go to Semplar
[00:06] Ars
and take a boat arranged by Lord
Couran to the imperial capital.
[00:15] Ars
Upon arrival, we'll ask Prime Minister Shakma
[00:17] Ars
to mediate a meeting
between us and Paradille.
[00:20] Ars
We will then embark on
negotiations with the province.
[00:26] Ars
Licia will be handling the negotiations.
[00:29] Ars
I have every confidence
in her diplomatic talents.
[00:32] Licia
Really, you flatter me!
[00:35] Mireille
Even so, you're kids and all...
[00:38] Licia
Please rest assured.
[00:39] Licia
Lord Lumeire will accompany
us on the negotiations.
[00:44] Ars
He will? What exactly will he be doing?
[00:48] Licia
He'll stand by our side.
[00:50] Ars
Is that all?
[00:52] Licia
Miss Mireille is correct
about us being children.
[00:56] Licia
Adults may find it difficult
to trust us upon first meeting.
[00:59] Licia
So having Lord Lumeire, who is both an adult
[01:02] Licia
and Lord Couran's trusted subordinate,
[01:05] Licia
by our side will lend gravitas to our words.
[01:09] Licia
Negotiation is not a mere
matter of words said.
[01:12] Licia
It begins before you ever
arrive at the table.
[01:15] Mireille
Huh. I can see why the kid chose to marry you.
[01:19] Charlotte
I haven't acknowledged that, by the way!
[01:21] Charlotte
I never even acknowledged your
engagement in the first place!
[01:25] Charlotte
Besides, is right before a war really
the time to be getting married?!
[01:29] Licia
Miss Charlotte, being able to share
a home with you is a dream come true.
[01:35] Licia
I hope you'll teach me all about
battle, magic, and more!
[01:39] Charlotte
Well, if you insist...
[01:41] Charlotte
Feel free to ask me for help with anything.
[01:44] Licia
I very much appreciate it!
[01:45] Rosell
Licia really is a diplomat.
[01:48] Ars
Charlotte, will you join us as our escort?
[01:52] Charlotte
You sure you want me?
[01:54] Ars
You're the most powerful combatant
we have, so you're perfect for the job.
[01:59] Ars
Plus, since we're taking a ship,
[02:01] Ars
I want you to experience
more of the great wide world.
[02:04] Charlotte
Oh, I see. That does sound fun.
[02:07] Charlotte
Okay, let's move out on the double!

A Wife's Duty
[03:44] Ars
She's already asleep.
[03:46] Ars
She's supposed to our guard.
Will we be okay?
[03:49] Licia
It's going to be a long journey.
[03:50] Licia
Best for her to rest while she can.
[04:03] Pham
Hey.
[04:04] Ars
Pham? What are you doing here?
[04:07] Pham
I received some intel you might
find useful before you depart.
[04:10] Pham
Vasmarque is working
with the Province of Seitz.
[04:14] Pham
I'll contact you when I know more.
[04:17] Pham
Later.
[04:18] Ars
Th-Thank you!
[04:24] Ars

another province, as well?

[04:27] Ars
At this rate, Couran's looking at a
two-front war with Seitz and Vasmarque.
[04:33] Ars
If Seitz were to invade Missian,
[04:36] Ars
Lamberg would be the first place affected!
[04:40] Licia
There's no need to worry.
[04:43] Licia
If we manage to get Paradille on our side,
[04:45] Licia
we will remain evenly matched.
[04:48] Licia
Seitz must think that partnering with
Vasmarque will mean an easy invasion,
[04:52] Licia
and that they possess an
overwhelming advantage.

But if Paradille sides with us,

[05:01] Licia
That will make them less eager
to violate our borders.
[05:05] Licia
Just one more reason we must ensure
these negotiations are a success.
[05:10] Licia
I swear we will get Paradille on our side.
[05:15] Licia
Please, put your faith in me.
[05:17] Ars
Licia...
[05:19] Ars
You've thought this all
through that thoroughly?
[05:21] Licia
Thinking ahead is a cornerstone of politics.
[05:28] Ars
Diplomacy textbooks?
[05:33] Licia
I-I've been studying many things!
[05:36] Ars
That's impressive.
[05:38] Ars
I could learn a lot from your ambition.
[05:40] Licia
I was just so happy to have you count on me.
[05:45] Licia
I am... your wife, after all.
[05:49] Licia
As the person closest to you,
I wish to be as useful as possible.
[05:56] Ars
Thank you.

Let's do all we can to make
these negotiations work!

Yes!

cozy back there, huh?

[06:12] Couran
Thank you all for coming here today.
[06:16] Couran
I'm afraid I have bad news
before you set out.
[06:20] Couran
Vasmarque has joined forces
with Seitz Province.
[06:22] Licia
We are aware.
[06:25] Licia
Therefore, after negotiating with Paradille,
[06:27] Licia
I was thinking we should negotiate
with Seitz to stave off their invasion.
[06:33] Couran
You seem to have an impressive
spy in your employ,
[06:36] Couran
and your wife also has a
fine head on her shoulders.
[06:38] Couran
Your judgment is as impeccable as ever.
[06:41] Couran
I'm sorry to saddle you
with this crucial task,
[06:44] Couran
but I'm assured with it in your hands.
[06:46] Couran

Sir!
[06:49] Couran
Still, I never expected you'd be married...
[06:53] Couran
I thought you were a child,
but you're quite a smooth operator!
[06:57] Ars
W-We only got married the other day.
[07:00] Ars
To be honest, she's incredible.
I'm hardly worthy of her.

Treasure the family you've got.

So you're the one being charged
with the negotiations?

Haven't seen you in a while, Lumeire!
[07:35] Rengue

[07:39] Rengue
Anyway, Father, are you sure you want
to entrust negotiations to these children?
[07:44] Couran
They may be our vassals,
but don't be rude, Rengue.
[07:46] Rengue
Yes, milord! Forgive me!
[07:49] Couran
I'm sorry, Ars. Ignore him.
[07:51] Ars
N-Not at all. It's fine.
[07:53] Rengue
Well, I was just passing by,
so I'll be on my way!

Could we have a word in private?
[08:07] Ars
Certainly.
[08:12] Couran
Did you see Rengue's abilities?
[08:15] Ars
Y-Yes.
[08:16] Couran
I've been racking my brain about him.
[08:20] Couran
He had little discipline growing up,
and now he's twenty years old.
[08:25] Couran
I want to bring out the best in him,
but I don't know how to do it.
[08:30] Couran
I want to know if he even has the talent.

Wait!
[12:35] Ars
What do you men do for a living?
[12:39] Rengue
What kind of question is that?
[12:41] Rengue
They're clearly dastardly pirates.
[12:43] Ars
That knife he was holding...
[12:45] Ars
It looked more like it was for
cleaning fish than a weapon.
[12:48] Ars
Are you not actually pirates?
[12:54] Pirate A
We were fishermen working out
of the imperial capital's harbor.
[12:59] Pirate A
We'd get loans from the empire to buy
what we needed to ply our trade,
[13:03] Pirate A
but the capital's ongoing money
troubles made that a lot tougher.
[13:07] Licia
I've heard about their
financial difficulties, but...
[13:11] Pirate A
We were forced to borrow
money from a merchant,
[13:14] Pirate A
but we couldn't get above
water with the interest.
[13:17] Pirate A
We have families, you know?
[13:19] Pirate A
We have to make money somehow,
even if we have to dirty our hands to do it.
[13:23] Rengue
Irrelevant!
[13:24] Rengue
That's no excuse for such wicked deeds!
[13:28] Ars
I understand.

Lord Ars?

What are you doing, Master Ais?!
[13:39] Rengue
These men attacked us!
[13:42] Pirate A
We're not so far gone
that we'd ask for your pity.
[13:46] Ars
No, this isn't pity or charity.
[13:51] Ars
It's a loan.
[13:53] Ars
Use this to get back to fishing,
and pay me back when you can.
[13:57] Ars
I won't ask for interest, of course.
[13:59] Rengue
You're lending them money?
[14:01] Rengue
You really trust these men?
[14:03] Ars
Can a lord who doesn't trust his people
expect to earn their trust back?
[14:08] Ars
Yes, it's possible they'll betray me.
[14:10] Ars
But our relationship won't change
unless one of us changes it.
[14:14] Ars
I think that if we trust our people,
someday, they'll trust us in return.
[14:23] Rengue
Honestly, you're a fool, Master Ais.
[14:25] Rengue
Do as you please!

Standing on a new shore is
absolutely thrilling, Master Ais!
[14:48] Ars
It's Ars.
[14:55] Licia
It seems poverty has become a
serious problem in the capital.
[15:01] Lumeire
I don't think it's just that.
[15:03] Lumeire
The nobles appear to enjoy luxury
greater than in any town I've seen.
[15:07] Ars
They live in the same city, yet they
don't even seem to see each other...
[15:13] Ars
Does wealth inequality really
create this kind of division?
[15:17] Rengue
I guess Minister Shakma is so blinded by
money that he can't even rule properly.
[15:22] Rengue
If he's that stupid, negotiating with
him should be easier than expected!
[15:27] Licia
Lord Ars.
[15:28] Ars
Y-Yes?
[15:29] Licia
I have a few preparations
to make for tomorrow.

Licia?! What's going on?
[15:52] Licia
I acquired all this here in the capital.
[15:55] Ars
But why did you buy such clothes and jewels?
[15:59] Licia
It will all become clear later.
[16:03] Retainer
Come right this way.

I'd love to offer you hospitality
after your long journey,
[16:30] Shakma
but as I bear sole responsibility for running
the empire, I have little time to spare.
[16:36] Shakma
I believe you wanted to request the emperor
[16:38] Shakma
serve as intermediary in
negotiations with Paradille.
[16:42] Shakma
Let's get right down to brass tacks.
[16:44] Shakma
Please, sit.
[16:46] Ars
We will. Thank you.
[16:48] Rengue
First, allow me to introduce myself!
[16:50] Rengue
I am Rengue Salamakhia,
the next governor of Missian!
[16:54] Shakma
Oh? The son of Couran Salamakhia?
[16:58] Rengue
I came along to ensure
successful negotiations.
[17:02] Shakma
Your presence here will
make little difference.
[17:06] Shakma
The only relevant matter
is how much you'll pay.
[17:11] Licia
Quite right.
[17:13] Licia
So let us make you an offer, then.
[17:17] Ars
It's started!
[17:20] sign
Two Nights Ago
[17:20] Licia
The most important thing is
a swift, decisive resolution.
[17:26] (Flashback) Ars
What do you mean?
[17:27] (Flashback) Licia
We have 2,000 gold to offer in negotiations.
[17:32] (Flashback) Licia
If he requests more than we have on hand,
[17:35] (Flashback) Licia
we'll have to return to Semplar
to secure more funds.
[17:39] (Flashback) Rengue
Right.
[17:40] (Flashback) Licia
That will forcibly drag out negotiations,
[17:42] (Flashback) Licia
and the tides of war may
turn further against us.
[17:46] (Flashback) Licia
What do you think makes for
the smoothest negotiations?
[17:51] (Flashback) Ars
I'm not sure.
[17:52] (Flashback) Licia
It's making the other party think
they're getting a bargain.
[17:56] Licia
Therefore, we must begin with
an offer that is far too low.
[18:01] Licia
Will 500 gold be sufficient?
[18:05] Shakma
Excuse me. I think I misheard.
[18:08] Shakma
That sounded off by an order of magnitude.
[18:10] Shakma
I speak on behalf of the emperor, as you know.
[18:14] Shakma
I will accept no less than 5,000 gold.
[18:21] Licia
Oh, how droll!
[18:22] Licia
I would think 5,000 exceeds the
empire's current yearly budget.
[18:28] Licia
Surely you only suggested
such an unrealistic sum in jest.
[18:33] Licia
We saw the city on the way in.
It's clear how you're suffering financially.
[18:38] Licia
Would 800 gold do?
[18:40] Shakma
Semplar is a trading hub.
[18:43] Shakma
I'm certain you can afford more than that.
[18:45] Licia
I've heard Minister Shakma is
quite obsessed with money,
[18:49] Licia
so he'll likely try to raise the amount.
[18:51] Licia
But that's part of our plan!
[18:55] Licia
You drive a painful bargain.
[18:56] Licia
Would you accept 900?
[18:58] Shakma
I'm afraid I have to turn you down.
[19:01] Licia
What? Please wait!
[19:06] Licia
I understand.
[19:07] Licia
We will pay you 1,000.
[19:09] Licia
I fear we can go no higher than that.
[19:15] Shakma
Very well.
[19:16] Licia
Thank you so much!
[19:21] Licia
If we make him think he's taken
us for everything we have,
[19:24] (Flashback) Licia
he'll be satisfied by what
he's gained and accept...
[19:28] (Flashback) Licia
whether or not it's an actual bargain.
[19:30] (Flashback) Licia
Right?
[19:31] Ars
Licia's amazing!
[19:34] Ars
The emperor will intervene
on our behalf, then?
[19:39] Rengue
Enough of this stingy, cheap talk!
[19:41] Rengue
We brought 2,000 gold, didn't we?
[19:44] Rengue
Pay the man the full amount!
[19:46] Rengue
We can't have him underestimating
Semplar's financial prowess!
[19:53] Shakma
Were you trying to deceive me?
[19:55] Ars
Not good!
[19:56] Shakma
This is all out of the question.
[19:58] Shakma
These negotiations are off.
[20:00] Ars
Please forgive us!
[20:02] Ars
We'll pay you the entirety of the 2,000 gold!
[20:05] Shakma
You have insulted the
emperor's prime minister.
[20:09] Shakma
But if you pay 2,000 to the empire,
[20:13] Shakma
plus a sufficient amount
directly to me in apology,
[20:16] Shakma
I could be convinced to overlook it.
[20:19] Ars
But to pay any more,
we'd have to go back to Semplar...
[20:23] Shakma
That is all.
[20:25] Ars
Wait, Minister Shakma!
[20:28] Ars
The negotiations failed!
[20:31] Ars
Our crucial negotiations...
[20:35] Rengue
He was a real jerk, wasn't he?
[20:37] Rengue
We'll just have to head back
to Semplar for more money.
[20:42] Ars
We were concealing our real budget
so we wouldn't have to do that!
[20:46] Ars
Why did you have to go and say that?!
[20:48] Rengue
It's your fault for lying in the first place.
[20:50] Rengue
If you'd admitted to the 2,000 up front,
things would have gone much more smoothly.
[20:55] Rengue
And if I hadn't said anything, people might
get the impression that Semplar is broke!
[20:59] Ars
If we'd offered the full amount up front,
[21:02] Ars
he would have asked for more
to take advantage of us!
[21:05] Licia
Calm yourselves, both of you.
[21:08] Licia
What's done cannot be undone.
[21:11] Ars
But...
[21:12] Ars
Licia?
[21:15] Licia
Minister Shakma!
[21:21] Shakma
What further business could
you possibly have with me?
[21:23] Licia
I wished to apologize...
for the rudeness we've shown you.
[21:28] Shakma
But you can't show it financially, can you?
[21:31] Shakma
You'll have to return to Semplar.
[21:33] Licia
No, I have something here!
[21:40] Ars
W-Wait!
[21:41] Ars
Licia, what are you doing?!
[21:54] Licia
I acquired these from the capital's
finest dressmaker and jeweler.
[21:58] Licia
They should fetch a fine price.
[22:05] Retainer
It's true.
[22:06] Retainer
Altogether, this could come to about 500 gold.
[22:10] Licia
Please, have mercy.
[22:12] Licia
Take them!
[22:14] Shakma
Your resolve is impressive.
[22:17] Shakma
Very well.
[22:18] Shakma
You shall pay 2,000 gold to the capital,
[22:21] Shakma
and I shall accept your jewelry and clothing.
[22:25] Ars
You mean...
[22:27] Shakma
We shall mediate with
Paradille on your behalf.
[22:30] Shakma
However, is Couran's faction
truly loyal to the emperor?
[22:36] Shakma
I've heard rumors of your desire
to form an independent nation.
[22:41] Rengue
Yes, the Province of Missian
plans to seek independence.
[22:46] Rengue
We hold no loyalty to the emperor.
[22:48] Ars
Lord Rengue!
[22:49] Shakma
How honest of you.
[22:51] Shakma
It doesn't matter to me, personally...
[22:54] Shakma
but I'd advise caution in
negotiations with Paradille.
[23:01] Ars
We did it!
[23:03] Ars
Thanks to you all, we managed to get
the emperor to intervene on our behalf.
[23:07] Ars
We had a little trouble back there,
but I'm glad it all worked out!
[23:11] Licia
Trouble?
[23:12] Licia
Hardly.
[23:13] Licia
It went just as I planned,
from beginning to end.
[23:18] Ars
What are you talking about?
[23:25] Ars
To protect everyone, can I become
strong like my father and Lord Couran?
[23:30] Licia
Lord Ars, military prowess is
not the only form of strength.
[23:34] Licia
I know you have your own unique prowess!

Thanks to you all, we managed to get

[00:06] Ars
We had a little trouble back there,
but I'm glad it all worked out!
[00:10] Licia
Trouble?
[00:11] Licia
Hardly.
[00:12] Licia
It went just as I planned,
from beginning to end.
[00:17] Ars
What are you talking about?
[00:21] Licia
Our priority was not to keep
our price as low as possible,
[00:25] Licia
but to come to a swift, decisive resolution.
[00:29] Licia
If Lord Rengue hadn't revealed
our budget during negotiations,
[00:33] Licia
do you really think we could
have wrapped things up there?
[00:36] Ars
Yes.
[00:37] Licia
I disagree.
[00:40] Licia
I was aware of Minister Shakma's
disposition due to prior research,
[00:44] Licia
so I knew he would seek a pretense
by which to request a bribe.
[00:50] Licia
Lord Rengue's interjection
simply gave him that pretense.
[00:55] Licia
Our initial negotiations were but a prelude.
[00:58] Licia
The real challenge was the question of when
we would have to pay Lord Shakma's bribe.
[01:04] Licia
We wouldn't have had time
[01:06] Licia
to return to Semplar to secure
more funds at that time.
[01:10] Licia
Therefore, I had the clothing and
jewelry prepared from the start.
[01:15] Licia
If the bribe came as a
final act of desperation,
[01:17] Licia
I believed Minister Shakma would accept it.
[01:20] Ars
So that's what the clothing
and jewelry were for?
[01:23] Licia
Minister Shakma is not such a simpleton
that he would take us at our word so readily.
[01:30] Licia
But by exploiting our "mistake"
in revealing our true budget
[01:34] Licia
and using that to extort a bribe,
[01:36] Licia
he surely felt that we were beyond suspicion.
[01:39] Licia
And Minister Shakma seemed
satisfied indeed, did he not?
[01:43] Licia
He didn't know I'd arranged it all in advance.
[01:46] Licia
So it went just as I anticipated,
from beginning to end!
[01:51] Charlotte
I don't follow any of this,
but it sounds like a strategic win!
[01:54] Ars
I really am glad I entrusted this to you.

sent his letter to Paradille,

a messenger from Paradille
arrived in the imperial capital.
[05:30] Ars
Lord Rengue never returned
to our inn in the meantime.

seeking independence?
[06:05] Foreign Minister A
Missian is home to many nouveau riche nobles.
[06:08] Foreign Minister A

largely opportunistic and mercenary.
[06:14] Ars
Oh, well, actually...
[06:15] Foreign Minister A
To seek independence is high treason.
[06:19] Foreign Minister A
We require an answer of Lord Rengue.
[06:22] Rengue
Independence?
[06:25] Rengue
That's what Vasmarque's faction is after.
[06:32] Ars
What's gotten into Lord Rengue?!
[06:34] Ars
Anyway, it seems rumors of our desire
for independence are flying freely...
[06:40] Ars
Will they really believe him?
[06:43] Foreign Minister A
I see.
[06:45] Foreign Minister A
I had a feeling you'd say that.
[06:48] Foreign Minister A
I'm so relieved!
[06:50] Foreign Minister A
It's beneficial for us to cooperate
with another province, anyway.
[06:55] Foreign Minister A

You'll give me the benefit of your wisdom?

But of course!
[08:04] Licia
I was genuinely moved by
Lord Rengue's desperation.
[08:09] Rengue
You didn't have to tell him about that part!
[08:12] Lumeire
Truly, Lord Rengue entreated
you to instruct him?
[08:15] Ars
What advice did you give him?
[08:18] Licia
I told him to attend as many dinner parties
throughout the capital as possible.
[08:25] Ars
Dinner parties?
[08:27] Licia
I felt certain he'd been branded as
[08:29] Licia
the man who nearly sabotaged his
own negotiations with his honesty.
[08:33] Licia
Such talk would quickly spread
throughout the palace
[08:36] Licia
and become common knowledge
among the capital's nobility.
[08:39] Licia
So he spread the rumor that it's actually
Vasmarque plotting for independence,
[08:45] Licia
which was all the more convincing coming
from an honest man like Lord Rengue.
[08:49] Ars
Then you've spent this past
week attending dinner parties?
[08:54] Ars
No wonder they believed you so readily.
[08:57] Rengue
My foolishness made trouble
for the rest of you.
[09:00] Licia
That's not true at all.
[09:02] Licia
Your will to change is, in and
of itself, a wonderful thing.

Ars, it looks like you've
been a good example to him.
[11:22] Couran
As his father, I'm grateful.
[11:23] Ars
Oh, I hardly did anything...
[11:25] Couran
Allow me to present your reward.
[11:28] Couran
One hundred gold pieces each.
[11:31] Ars
That's far too much!
[11:33] Couran
I hear your talented wife saved us
a great deal of money on the bribe.
[11:38] Couran
You should be thanking her, if anyone.
[11:40] Licia
Isn't this wonderful, Lord Ars?
[11:42] Ars
This is enough to fix the village wells
and increase the soldiers' pay...
[11:50] Ars
Thank you so much.
[11:51] Ars
I'll use this money with utmost care.
[11:54] Couran
Good.
[11:55] Couran
Now, I'm sorry to ask
so soon after your return,
[11:58] Couran
but I'd like to discuss what comes next.
[12:01] Ars
Of course.
[12:02] Couran
This concerns the battle ahead.
[12:05] Couran
We intend to mount an invasion
of Alpharda District.
[12:09] Couran
In recognition of your talents,
I'm tasking you with an important mission.
[12:14] Couran
Lumeire, Ars.
[12:15] Couran
I appoint you two in command
of Canarre District's full forces.
[12:19] Couran
I want to strike hard, before our
opponent can expand their forces there.
[12:23] Couran
In one month's time,
muster all your troops in Semplar.
[12:28] Ars/Lumeire
Sir!
[12:38] Charlotte
You okay?
[12:46] Charlotte
Seems kinda harsh, making this
big battle your first deployment.
[12:50] Charlotte
You could leave the fighting to
us and hang back at the estate.
[12:57] Ars
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid.
[13:01] Ars
I'm honestly petrified.
[13:04] Ars
But if I were to lose my nerve,
[13:07] Ars
I could never face my father again.
[13:10] Ars
I'll be fine, Charlotte.
[13:13] Ars
I'm the lord of our domain now.

[20:09] Couran
First, let me thank you for leaving
your domains to answer my call.
[20:15] Couran
The capital of Missian Province, Arcantez,
[20:18] Couran
is currently under the control
of my brother, Vasmarque.
[20:21] Couran
In order to take it back,
we must first take Bertudo,
[20:25] Couran
the third largest city
after Arcantez and Semplar.
[20:28] Couran
To that end, we must go
through Alpharda and Samkh.
[20:33] Couran
Before, we could not have afforded
to attempt such a plan.
[20:37] Couran
But now, we have secured
the aid of Paradille Province.
[20:42] Couran
With their troops moved to the Missian
border to threaten Arcantez,
[20:48] Couran
we can send our full forces to seize Bertudo.
[20:52] Couran
And this was all made possible
thanks to the deeds of Ars Louvent!
[20:58] Couran
I've always believed that
we could win this war,
[21:01] Couran
but to be honest, the state of affairs
had given me the slightest of doubts.
[21:05] Couran
I'm sorry to have worried you all, too.
[21:08] Couran
But now, I feel victory is in sight.
[21:11] Couran
The wind is at our backs!
[21:13] Couran
Soldiers of Missian, the time has
come to put your training to use!
[21:19] Couran
Will you work with me to seize victory?!
[21:24] Ars
Father, I never understood it...
[21:28] Ars
Why would people march into a battle
where they might actually die?
[21:32] Ars
Why weren't they afraid?
[21:34] Ars
But now I see.
[21:36] Ars
When you have so many people by your side,
willing to risk their lives for the same goal...
[21:41] Ars
It's incredibly reassuring!
[21:46] Couran
Now, let's move out!
[21:51] Ars
Right!
[23:25] Rietz
Lord Ars will see battle at last.
[23:27] Rietz
Let's see that he's victorious!
[23:28] Charlotte
Calm down already.

[05:56] Rosell
W-Well...
[05:58] Rosell
What about something like this?
[06:02] Rosell
There are three fortresses
surrounding Castle Samkh.
[06:06] Rosell
Given the size of the enemy force,
[06:08] Rosell
there shouldn't be more
than a thousand men in each.
[06:12] Rosell
So what if we form three
detachments of 4,000 each
[06:17] Rosell
and have them all attack simultaneously?
[06:20] Rosell
With that kind of numerical advantage,
[06:22] Rosell
we should be able to take
each fortresses with ease.
[06:24] Rosell
Then Samkh District would be forced
to surrender, don't you think?
[06:30] Couran
I see.
[06:31] Couran
Then the main force I'm leading
will wait near Castle Samkh.
[06:36] Couran
The moment all three fortresses fall,
[06:38] Couran
we'll join back up with the
detachments and take the castle.
[06:42] Couran
Lumeire, Ars!
[06:44] Couran
Fort Vakmakro is the most geographically
important of the three fortresses,
[06:50] Couran

Rosell. Mireille.
[07:17] Ars
Do you have any ideas?
[07:19] Rosell
I think our first move should be to send a
scout to the summit where the fortress is.
[07:25] Rosell
Knowing their formations will
let us attack more efficiently.
[07:31] Mireille
Rosell, you're such a good,
by-the-book little boy, aren't you?
[07:37] Mireille
Obviously, it's the job of a strategist
to think about how to move his armies.
[07:42] Mireille
But doing no more than that is
the mark of a third-rate strategist.
[07:46] Mireille
A first-rate strategist puts
himself in his enemy's shoes
[07:50] Mireille
and imagines how he'd defeat his own armies.
[07:55] Mireille
Think about it.
[07:57] Mireille
No matter what formation they use,
[07:59] Mireille
they're way too outnumbered to win.
[08:02] Mireille
The only way to turn the tables
would be to catch us by surprise.
[08:06] Mireille
How would you do that, Rosell?
[08:08] Rosell
Um...
[08:11] Rosell
When the enemy tried to surround the fortress,
[08:15] Rosell
I'd pincer them in.
[08:19] Mireille
Right answer.
[08:20] Mireille
It's probably okay to send
forces to the summit,
[08:23] Mireille
but we should also set a lookout
at the base of the mountain
[08:27] Mireille
to watch for an additional attack from behind.
[08:30] Rosell

[10:24] Mireille
they must have a pretty
skilled mage themselves.
[10:28] Ars
Can we break through it?
[10:30] Charlotte
Ars.
[10:32] Charlotte
Who do you think I am?
[10:35] Charlotte
It might take time,
[10:37] Charlotte
but if we can attack faster
than they can keep up repairs,
[10:40] Charlotte
we can take them down!
[10:44] Charlotte
We're not gonna lose Ars's
first battle on my watch!
[10:47] Ars
Charlotte!
[10:49] Lumeire
All right. Bring all our aqua magia.
[10:51] Lumeire
It's a war of attrition
until the barrier falls!
[10:54] Soldiers
Sir!
[10:59] Korin
That was an incredible attack.
[11:01] Selena
It won't be a problem.
[11:03] Selena
A direct hit might take us down, to be sure...
[11:08] Selena
But for this particular battle,
we don't actually have to beat them.
[11:19] Jil
Report from the scouts at
the foot of the mountain!
[11:22] Jil
A thousand enemy troops are heading our way!
[11:26] Mireille
Just as Rosell thought, then.
[11:28] Rosell
In that case, please proceed with the plan.
[11:31] Lumeire
Right. There's only a thousand of them.
[11:34] Lumeire
Let's divide our force and send
two thousand to meet them!
[11:37] Canarre Soldiers
Sir!
[11:38] Ars
At this rate...
[11:39] Jil
N-No!
[11:41] Ars
Is something the matter?
[11:43] Jil
It seems their main force is behind them, and...
[11:46] Jil
The host headed at us
[11:47] Jil
is ten thousand strong!
[11:49] Ars
Ten thousand?!
[11:51] Mireille
Huh. So they sent their entire army
to defend this one little fort?
[11:57] Sign
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,
I'll Use My Appraisal Skill

[12:07] Sign
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,
I'll Use My Appraisal Skill

[12:08] Ars
What should we do?
[12:10] Rosell
Frankly speaking, it will be very
difficult to carry out our plan now.
[12:16] Rosell
If we go down the mountain, there's a good
chance we'll run into them, get attacked,
[12:20] Rosell
and ultimately wind up being pursued.
[12:24] Rosell
We discovered them soon enough that
we might avoid terrible losses, but...
[12:28] Rosell
I don't think there's any hope
of taking the fortress now.
[12:32] Rosell
But if we stay here and fail to seize it,
[12:34] Rosell
we'll get caught on two fronts,
and we'll be done for.
[12:38] Rosell
Though if we can take the
fortress before they arrive
[12:43] Rosell
and hold out until Lord Couran's
forces arrive to aid us,
[12:45] Rosell
they'll be the ones caught
in a two-front battle.
[12:48] Rosell
It's low risk, low return
or high risk, high return.
[12:53] Rosell
We have to choose between the two.
[12:55] Lumeire
Mages, how much time do you need
to break through that barrier?
[12:59] Jil
Half a day, at the least.
[13:02] Lumeire
Then we'll withdraw.
[13:04] Lumeire
If we withdraw now,
we can minimize casualties.
[13:09] Mireille
Hate to admit it, but they
cooked up a pretty decent plan.
[13:14] Mireille
However...
[13:15] sign
The Soldiers of Lamberg
[13:15] Ars
Wait a minute!
[13:17] Lumeire
Ars?
[13:19] Ars
If this were any ordinary force,
Lord Lumeire would be right.
[13:25] Ars
But...
[13:30] Ars
The people here are anything but ordinary.
[13:34] Ars
I trust in my judgment, and in all of you!
[13:38] Ars
Rietz, can you hold the
enemy off for half a day?
[13:42] Menas
Have you gone mad?
[13:44] Menas
Two thousand soldiers
can't hold off ten thousand!
[13:50] Ars
I need you, Rietz!
[13:53] Rietz
Half a day...
[13:57] Rietz
Is that all you need?
[14:00] Rietz
I could hold them off for
a whole day if you'd like.
[14:03] Rietz
In fact...
[14:04] Rietz
I could destroy them all if you want.
[14:07] Ars
Rietz...
[14:10] Charlotte
Ars!
[14:11] Charlotte
We won't need half a day here.
[14:13] Charlotte
I'll have that barrier down in an hour!
[14:16] Ars
Charlotte!
[14:18] Rietz
Bold words.
[14:20] Charlotte
Right back at you.
[14:22] Canarre Soldier B
It's too reckless!
[14:23] Canarre Soldier A
W-We won't do it!
[14:26] Lumeire
Are you serious?
[14:28] Ars
Yes. These two can do it.
[14:32] Ars
If we fail to take the fortress,
[14:34] Ars
we'll be at worse than square one.
[14:37] Ars
The enemy will have potentially bought
time to bolster their forces further.
[14:42] Ars
That could draw this battle out even longer.
[14:46] Ars
But if we can take the fortress now,
[14:48] Ars
we'll claim a priceless victory.
[14:52] Rosell
I-I agree!
[14:55] Mireille
Me, too.
[15:01] Lumeire
Very well.
[15:02] Lumeire
We'll throw the full weight
of our army at them!
[15:05] Soldiers
Yeah!
[15:07] Mireille
I knew you guys would be fun.
[15:09] Mireille
Both the kid and his retainers.
[15:11] Mireille
The enemy failed to take into account
[15:13] Mireille
that Lamberg is no ordinary army.

We're almost to Fort Vakmakro.
[15:21] Vasmarque Captain
Keep up the pace!
[15:23] Vasmarque Soldier A
Captain, I'll bet they're
scrambling right now!
[15:27] Vasmarque Captain
They couldn't have expected
a force ten thousand strong.
[15:31] Vasmarque Captain
We'll catch them off-guard and
overwhelm them with numbers.
[15:34] Vasmarque Captain
They don't stand a chance.
[15:36] Vasmarque Soldier A
Lord Thomas really is a brilliant planner!
[15:40] Krall
Loose your arrows!
[15:44] Vasmarque Captain
What's going on?
[15:47] Vasmarque Captain
What's the enemy doing here?!

[16:01] Krall
I see.
[16:02] Krall
Even if they outnumber us,
[16:05] (Flashback) Krall
as long as we strike on
a narrow mountain road,
[16:09] (Flashback) Krall
they won't be able to overwhelm us.
[16:12] (Flashback) Rietz
Yes.
[16:13] (Flashback) Rietz
So please have your archers
attack from the roadside
[16:16] (Flashback) Rietz
to prevent the enemy from fanning out.
[16:21] Rietz
The rest...
[16:23] Rietz
you can leave to me.
[16:34] Charlotte
You little...
[16:36] Ars
We keep breaking the barrier,
and they keep repairing it.
[16:39] Rosell
It'll come down to whose
aqua magia lasts longer.
[16:43] Rosell
Each cast of a spell uses up aqua magia.
[16:47] Rosell
We're deadlocked for now, but...
[16:50] Rosell
Whoever burns through their
aqua magia first will lose.
[16:53] Ars
But then...
[16:55] Rosell
Plus, we're in enemy territory.
[16:58] Rosell
They've probably prepared for this,
[17:00] Rosell
while we won't have enough.
[17:02] Ars
Isn't there some way to break through?
[17:05] Rosell
If we could break off their aqua magia
supply to stop the restoration spells...
[17:10] Ars
But how do we do that?
[17:12] Rosell
If we can keep attacking the barrier
faster than they can repair it,
[17:16] Rosell
it should strain their equipment
beyond the breaking point.
[17:22] Ars
But we're already attacking
with everything we have.
[17:25] Ars
How can their magic be stronger?
[17:29] Korin
They should be running out
of aqua magia any minute now.
[17:33] Korin
I'm impressed you had this
much in reserve, though.
[17:38] Selena
I had my father prepare it just in case.
[17:45] Selena
He's an absolute fool.
[17:48] Korin
Nothing beats being prepared.
[17:50] Korin
Lord Fraedor is very wise indeed.
[17:52] Selena
I've basically been tasked with protecting
this fortress entirely on my own!
[17:58] Korin
Lady Selena?
[18:00] Selena
I'll show you my power!
[18:12] Vasmarque Soldier D
Don't lose heart!
[18:14] Vasmarque Soldier D
We still have them vastly outnumbered!
[18:32] Mireille
After all that, they're
actually making it stronger?
[18:35] Rosell
That's not good.
[18:36] Rosell
We only have a little aqua magia left...
[18:39] Mireille
Only a matter of time until
we can't cast anymore.
[18:44] Ars
Charlotte!
[18:50] Charlotte
Guess I'll have to use that.
[18:53] Charlotte
Give me all your aqua magia!
[18:57] Ars
What are you going to do?
[18:58] Jil
I think Charlotte is going to
use an extramassive spell.
[19:02] Ars
An extramassive spell?
[19:04] Ars
Will that take out the barrier?
[19:05] Jil
It's too dangerous!
[19:07] Jil
Burning all that aqua magia at once puts
a huge burden on the caster, as well.
[19:13] Rosell
She's already thrown so many spells at them...
[19:17] Rosell
There's no telling if she can take it.
[19:19] Ars
That's awful!
[19:21] Charlotte
No need to worry.
[19:23] Charlotte
You discovered my power, Ars.
[19:27] Charlotte
I'll use as much of it as you need me to.
[19:29] Charlotte
In exchange...
[19:31] Charlotte
If this knocks me out, look after me, okay?

Execute them all.
[00:35] Ars
What?!
[00:37] Lumeire
Keeping them as hostages

[00:41] Lumeire
would consume a lot of our supplies.

[02:50] Ars
Nevertheless, I...
[02:53] Couran
Take them outside!
[02:55] Ars
Please wait!
[02:57] Ars
They surrendered!
Ordering their execution is too cruel!
[03:02] Couran
I understand how you feel,
[03:04] Couran
but it's too risky to leave them alive.
[03:07] Ars
No!
[03:08] Ars
Killing them is the real risk.
[03:10] Ars
Lord Couran, what is the purpose of this war?
[03:15] Ars
I...
[03:16] Ars
I believe it's a war to unite Missian.
[03:20] Ars
These people may be our enemies,
but they're also fellow Missians.
[03:25] Ars
If we kill them, it will spark resentment
that we'll never fully smother.
[03:30] Ars
Even if we win, we'll never
be able to unite the country.
[03:35] Ars
Isn't it worth considering,
for the sake of Missian's ideal future?
[03:44] Rosell
In that case, how about this?
[03:46] Rosell
Lord Ars will appraise the Samkh troops
[03:50] Rosell
and scout the most promising among them.
[03:52] Rosell
The rest, along with any who
refuse to swear loyalty to us,
[03:56] Rosell
will be stripped of their equipment and
sent to Castle Samkh in a hostage exchange.
[04:01] Rosell
That will benefit both sides,
and no one has to die.
[04:05] Ars
What a good idea!
[04:07] Couran
It's a fine one, indeed.
[04:12] Ars
And you, Selena... Don't seek out death.
[04:16] Ars
As long as your people still live,
[04:17] Ars
you mustn't abandon your
responsibility as their lord.
[04:20] Ars
You have an obligation to take
your soldiers back to the castle.
[04:25] Ars
Besides, a lord's duty is not finished
just because they've lost.
[04:30] Ars
Restoring your lands is also a lord's duty.
[04:35] Ars
We may be enemies right now,
[04:37] Ars
but someday, when the war is over...
[04:41] Ars
I hope we can build a good nation together.
[04:48] Selena
I'm grateful that you'll release my soldiers.
[04:52] Selena
However...
[04:54] Selena
An honorable death is
preferable to a life of shame.
[04:57] Selena
My stance as lord has not changed.

Hey, so it was you?
[05:04] Charlotte
The one who cast that barrier over the fort.
[05:06] Ars
Charlotte! Are you sure you
should be up and about?
[05:09] Charlotte
Yeah, I'm all better now.
[05:11] Charlotte
Boy, that barrier was a tough nut to crack!
[05:15] Charlotte
But as it turns out, I was way stronger.
[05:19] Selena
You're the one who cast those fireballs?
[05:21] Charlotte
Still...
[05:22] Charlotte
I'm kinda jealous now.
[05:25] Charlotte
My magic is all attack magic.
[05:28] Charlotte
All I can do is break stuff.

Pham!
[06:27] Pham
Hey. I've got some juicy news for you.
[06:31] Pham
Two bits of info.
[06:34] Pham
Here's the first.
[06:35] Pham
Your next target, Castle Samkh,
is pretty confident in their defenses.
[06:42] Pham
Unless you can break through
what they call the Impregnable Gate,
[06:46] Pham
it'll be difficult to get inside.
[06:49] Ars
Then there's a chance they'll hole up
and fight rather than surrender?
[06:55] Pham
Yeah, most likely.
[06:58] Pham
Apparently Thomas Grangeon is aiding
Samkh's headman in commanding their forces.
[07:04] Rietz
Thomas Grangeon?!
[07:07] Mireille
My little bro, huh?
[07:08] Mireille
That explains the pincer attack.
[07:11] Mireille
That's just the kind of plan he'd think up.
[07:14] Pham
Be careful. Your enemy has some
smart people in their ranks.
[07:18] Pham
They won't let you advance easily.
[07:22] Ars
I understand.
[07:23] Ars
I'll report to Lord Couran at once.

Father...
[08:05] Selena
Please, reproach me!
[08:08] Selena

you gave me this pendant
[08:12] Selena
would have chastised me
for such incompetence!
[08:16] Selena
What's happened to change you so?
[08:28] Couran
Ars's recon man was right.
[08:30] Couran
They appear quite determined to resist.
[08:33] Ars
So we're going to have to fight?
[08:36] Couran
Yes.
[08:37] Couran
We have no choice.
[08:39] Couran
All forces...
[08:41] Couran
Charge!
[08:45] Samkh Soldier A
Captain, the enemy's started their advance.
[08:49] Samkh Captain
What a bunch of fools.
[08:51] Samkh Captain
No one's ever broken through
the Impregnable Gate.
[08:56] Samkh Captain
And there's a moat on
either side of the bridge.
[08:59] Samkh Captain
There's nowhere to run.

[09:31] Pham
Sorry, but I can't do that.
[09:33] Pham
Orders from my employer.
[09:36] Samkh Soldier B
Wh-Who are you?!
[09:44] (Flashback) Rosell
It'll be difficult to break through
the Samkh Castle gate by force.
[09:50] (Flashback) Rosell
Could we send Pham in and have
him open the gate from within?
[09:55] (Flashback) Pham
I'd love to take the job,
[09:57] (Flashback) Pham
but the enemy'll be on high alert
during an active engagement.
[10:00] (Flashback) Pham
It won't be easy to sneak in.
[10:02] (Flashback) Rosell
No, now is the best time to do it.
[10:05] (Flashback) Rosell
Infiltrate the prisoner exchange!
[10:08] (Flashback) Rosell
Given the numbers, it shouldn't
be too hard to sneak in.
[10:16] Samkh Soldier C
Lady Selena!
[10:17] Samkh Soldier C

Welcome home!

How did your campaign go?

Sit back. Let me tell you
all about my great deeds!

Selena Vandol, Age 13
[10:54] Selena
My father was a powerful lord
who made his fortune in battle.
[10:58] Selena
As a child, there was
nothing I loved more than
[11:02] Selena
hearing his tales of death-defying adventure.
[11:07] (Flashback) Fraedor
This is for you.
[11:13] (Flashback) Selena
It's beautiful!
[11:15] (Flashback) Selena
But are you sure?
[11:17] (Flashback) Selena
This is your pendant, Father.
[11:20] (Flashback) Fraedor
Listen to me, Selena.
[11:21] (Flashback) Fraedor
The most important thing
in battle is courage.
[11:25] (Flashback) Fraedor
This pendant is a symbol of courage.
[11:30] Selena
But after the succession
dispute began in Missian...
[11:35] Selena
Father changed.
[11:39] Selena
When he learned war was upon us,
he suddenly grew timid.
[11:45] Selena
I felt betrayed.
[11:48] Selena
My strong, self-sufficient
father is gone now.
[11:53] Selena
Father!
[11:54] Fraedor
Selena!
[11:56] Fraedor
It's not safe here.
[11:57] Fraedor
Take the others and run—
[12:00] Selena
No!
[12:02] Selena
You're just going to give up without a fight?
[12:05] Selena
Is that the way a lord should be?
[12:08] Selena
I don't want to turn out like you.
[12:12] Selena
I will fight and die here!
[12:18] Thomas
Such admirable spirit.
[12:20] Fraedor
Lord Thomas!
[12:22] Thomas
You did well at Fort Vakmakro.
[12:26] Thomas
You bought us a great deal of time.
[12:29] Thomas
However...
[12:31] Thomas
This castle is finished now.
[12:34] Fraedor
I apologize for failing to
meet your expectations.
[12:37] Thomas
No...

Thomas's Plan
[12:53] Fraedor
That's...
[12:54] Thomas
A catalyzer for explosion magic.
[12:57] Selena
Explosion magic?!
[12:59] Thomas
I've set up explosion spells in
various places throughout the castle,
[13:03] Thomas
all connected to this catalyzer.
[13:07] Thomas
I want you to pretend to surrender,
lure Lord Couran inside,
[13:10] Thomas
and blow him up along with the castle.
[13:13] Thomas
Then my plan will be complete.
[13:17] Fraedor
Very well.
[13:18] Fraedor
We'll start by evacuati—
[13:20] Thomas
What are you talking about?
[13:22] Thomas
You're all going to stay
here and blow up with it.
[13:28] Thomas
If they find the castle abandoned,
[13:30] Thomas
they'll suspect something
and refuse to come in.
[13:34] Thomas
I can always activate this from outside,
[13:36] Thomas
but activating it in Lord Couran's
presence will be much more reliable.
[13:42] Thomas
One final blaze of glory for your family.
[13:45] Selena
Lord Thomas! I'd be happy
to die in a fair fight,
[13:49] Selena
but isn't this a bit cowardly?
[13:54] Thomas
The platitudes of the weak.
[13:58] Thomas
You lost the fortress,
and you've lost here, as well.
[14:02] Thomas
Losers have no right to lecture me about war!
[14:05] Thomas
Right, Fraedor?
[14:07] Thomas
You know very well, don't you?
[14:10] Thomas
Lord Vasmarque does not accept defeat.
[14:15] Thomas
Besides...
[14:16] Thomas
If your little rural fiefdom
takes out an enemy commander,
[14:19] Thomas
Samkh's name will go down in history.
[14:22] Thomas
It would be an honor, don't you think?
[14:26] Thomas
Rather than live a life of shame,
[14:28] Thomas
you can die with honor as a warrior.
[14:32] Selena
An honorable death is
preferable to a life of shame.
[14:36] Ars
Isn't it worth considering,
for the sake of Missian's ideal future?
[14:45] Maid
I'm scared...
[14:46] Ars
As long as your people still live,
[14:48] Ars
you mustn't abandon your
responsibility as their lord.

I'm the daughter of a lord.
[14:56] Fraedor
I understand, Lord Thomas.
[14:59] Thomas
How very noble of you.
[15:01] Thomas
Lord Vasmarque will be most pleased indeed.
[15:05] Selena
If we don't protect them...
[15:08] Selena
What good are we?!
[15:12] Selena
Father, you mustn't!
[15:18] Fraedor
I understand that I can no longer
serve you, Lord Thomas.
[15:23] Fraedor
I have followed your orders all
this time for the sake of my lands.
[15:27] Fraedor
But this is entirely backward!
[15:30] Fraedor
I care little for honor or
for Lord Vasmarque's favor.
[15:37] Fraedor
However...
[15:38] Fraedor
I cannot allow harm to befall my people!
[15:46] Thomas
I truly do despise the weak.
[15:51] Thomas
You'll regret betraying Lord Vasmarque.

You'll pay for defying Lord Thomas!
[16:07] Selena

I'm not so far gone that
I need you to protect me.
[16:28] Selena

[16:35] Fraedor
Samkh District surrenders unconditionally.
[16:39] Fraedor

[16:47] Fraedor
They were only following my orders.
[16:49] Fraedor
The responsibility lies entirely with me.
[16:53] Couran
I'm grateful that you surrendered
without resistance.
[16:56] Couran
It limited casualties on our end.

I'd like to have the skill of such
a fine general and all his men.

That is my responsibility as lord.

Right!

Forging a peace treaty just like that...
[17:36] Thomas
What a bunch of fools.

I never said I only had one catalyzer.

What was that explosion?
[17:57] Pham
This job was a real pain in the neck.
[18:01] Ars
Pham!
[18:02] Rosell
It was a success, then?!
[18:04] Pham
Yeah. Just as you asked.
[18:07] Ars
As we asked?
[18:08] Rosell
I had Pham move all the explosive
devices set up inside the castle.
[18:12] Ars
Explosive devices?!
[18:14] Ars
The castle was booby trapped?
[18:17] Couran
I see.
[18:18] Couran
Sounds like the kind of thing
Thomas would cook up.
[18:20] Fraedor
But I destroyed the catalyzer
to trigger the explosion!
[18:26] Pham
Looks like he had more than one.
[18:30] Selena
How did you know he'd booby
trap the castle like that?
[18:34] Selena
We only just learned about it hours ago.
[18:38] Rosell
When we were working on our plan
to take the castle in Fort Vakmakro,
[18:42] Rosell
something about it felt off.
[18:44] Selena
What do you mean?
[18:46] Rosell
Given the difference
in the size of our forces,
[18:48] Rosell
the most logical move for the enemy
would've been to simply surrender the fort.
[18:53] Rosell
That's when it occurred to me.
[18:55] Rosell
Maybe he needed to stall us for some reason.
[18:59] Ars
So the battle for the fort
was his way of buying time?
[19:04] Rosell
Yes.
[19:05] Rosell
We're talking about Thomas,
Lord Vasmarque's right hand.
[19:09] Rosell
He was bound to come up with a plan to
ensure victory under any circumstances.
[19:13] Rosell
I realized that even if he lost,
if he could blow up the castle,
[19:17] Rosell
he could kill all of us in one fell swoop.
[19:21] Rosell
That's why I had Pham investigate
and move all the explosive devices.
[19:28] Rosell
I'm sorry.
[19:29] Rosell
The job I requested put you in great danger.
[19:32] Pham
Don't sweat it.
[19:34] Pham
As long as you up my payment accordingly.
[19:38] Ars
Of course we will! You saved our lives!
[19:42] Ars
But why didn't you tell me about all of this?
[19:46] Rosell
I-I'm sorry...
[19:50] Mireille
He didn't want to sidetrack our assault
by distracting you with speculation.
[19:57] Mireille
You're way too nice,
so I'm sure you were worried.
[20:01] Mireille
You put yourself in the enemy's shoes,
[20:05] Mireille
but that's a plan you would never use
[20:07] Mireille
or even want to come up with, right?
[20:11] Mireille
But it didn't take you long at all to learn
to see things from your enemy's perspective.
[20:19] Mireille
You've grown a lot in this battle.
[20:24] Rosell
Thank you so much!
[20:26] Ars

When war broke out in Missian,
[20:38] Fraedor
I deferred to my superiors in the hopes of
improving our position in any way I could.
[20:46] Fraedor
I disappointed you, didn't I?
[20:51] Selena
Before, I never wanted to see
you bow your head to anyone.
[20:57] Selena
But that young lord taught me something.
[21:02] Selena
Real courage isn't throwing your life away.
[21:05] Selena
Courage can also mean sheathing your sword.
[21:10] Selena
I failed to see the truth.
[21:13] Selena
Forgive me.
[21:15] Fraedor

overjoyed you were to see me.

on how to take Verzud.
[06:27] Couran
As you know, it's one of the largest cities,
right alongside Arcantez and Semplar.
[06:33] Couran
At the moment, we hold Semplar,
[06:35] Couran
while our enemy, Vasmarque's faction,
holds Arcantez and Verzud.
[06:40] Couran
Verzud has a lot of people,
[06:43] Couran
and they're undoubtedly preparing
in anticipation of an attack.
[06:47] Couran
This is going to be our hardest battle yet.
[06:51] Couran
A moment's lapse in judgment could be fatal.
[06:55] Couran
However, if we can take Verzud,
[06:58] Couran
it will completely shift the balance of power.
[07:00] Couran
This battle is crucial to
the outcome of the war.
[07:03] Lumeire
Lord Couran.
[07:04] Lumeire
Verzud lies in a snowy region.
[07:06] Lumeire

limit our movements and prove dangerous.
[07:11] Lumeire
I feel we should speed our advance
to take Verzud before winter.
[07:16] Couran
Yes, which is why I was thinking
of dividing our forces.
[07:19] Couran
We'll send one force to Castle Staatz,
the largest castle defending Verzud.
[07:24] Couran
The other will attack Castle Rolto
to the northwest.

important location.

I believe Lupa is the commander there.

You know him?

No, but he's a renowned general that Lord
Couran tried hard to bring over to his side.
[08:47] Lumeire
He's sharp and well-liked as a commander.

In terms of skill alone,
he could easily lead a district.

No.

There's no way I could
convince him of anything.

[10:05] Ars
Are they gonna kill us the
minute we drop our weapons?
[10:09] Ars
Rietz, let's withdraw for now.
[10:11] Mireille
No, I think we can negotiate here.
[10:15] Rietz
You want us to drop our weapons?
[10:17] Rietz
They could attack Lord Ars the minute we do!
[10:21] Mireille
But that'd be bad for them, don't you think?
[10:25] Mireille
If they killed us, Lumeire would attack
with everything he's got in retaliation.
[10:31] Mireille
His forces would bring down
this little fortress in an instant.
[10:35] Ars
T-True.
[10:37] Mireille
Besides, killing a negotiator is taboo.
[10:41] Mireille
Unthinkable, really,
for an officer esteemed by his peers.
[10:46] Rietz
This negotiation itself could
be a trap to get at Lord Ars.
[10:50] Mireille
Of the lot, this fortress
is the closest to our forces.
[10:56] Mireille
Yet they were the last to send their missive.
[11:00] Mireille
I'll bet there was a reason they
couldn't make up their mind.
[11:03] Mireille
Besides...
[11:04] Mireille
They're pretty openly hostile
for this to be a trap.
[11:07] Mireille
I can't say for sure, but I'll bet
there's more to this whole thing.
[11:13] Mireille
Remember this, Ars.
[11:15] Mireille
The greatest asset in a negotiation is
a grasp of the other side's motivations.
[11:20] Mireille
That said, it probably is a bit
dangerous to walk in unarmed.
[11:26] Mireille
What's your call, Ars?
[11:34] Ars
I am frightened.
[11:36] Ars
But if there's even the smallest hope,
I want to put my money on that.
[11:44] Rietz
Lord Ars?!
[11:50] Ars
Can you hear me, Lupa?!
[11:52] Ars
I am Ars Louvent!
[11:54] Ars
I've come to speak with you!
[11:56] Ars
I want to work with you to
resolve this without fighting!
[12:00] Ars
Please give me a moment of your time!
[12:26] Ars
Let's go.
[12:30] Dawson
Lord Ars!
[12:32] Ars
It's all right.
[12:33] Ars
You all should wait here.
[12:51] Mireille
What's wrong?
[12:53] Ars
It's nothing.
[12:55] Rietz
Lord Ars, your eyes seemed to be
giving you trouble in Samkh, as well.
[12:58] Rietz
Are you all right?
[13:02] Lupa
Are you the negotiators
from Lord Couran's army?
[13:05] Lupa
I am Lupa Luzton, assigned to
this fortress by Lord Vasmarque.
[13:11] Ars
I'm Ars Louvent!
[13:13] Ars
Thank you for agreeing to meet with us.
[13:17] Lupa
I'll take you to the conference room.
[13:20] Lupa
Follow me.
[13:29] Rietz
If anything happens,
I'll at least get you to safety.
[13:36] Rietz
Lord Ars?!
[13:38] Ars
Ow, ow, ow...
[13:40] Mireille
Hey, are you okay?
[13:42] Rietz
Are you hurt?
[13:43] Ars
I was so nervous, I missed the step...
[13:46] Ars
I'm all right.
[14:26] Lupa
What is this?
[14:28] Ars
I-It's a mechanical creature
I bought in Samkh.
[14:31] Ars
A child's toy.
[14:34] Lupa
They make things like this these days?
[14:40] Ars
You can have it, if you'd like.
[14:43] Lupa
No, I don't need it.
[14:46] Lupa
Take it back.
[14:48] Ars
R-Right...
[14:50] Ars
Appraise!
[14:54] Rietz
Lord Ars?
[14:56] Ars
I-I'm fine.
[15:07] Ars
It worked!
[15:08] Ars
But... what is this?
[15:10] Ars
I've never seen information like this before.
[15:13] Ars
"Born the eldest son of
House Luzton in Verzud
[15:16] Ars
on the ninth day of the fourth month,
year 180 of the Imperial Calendar."
[15:21] Ars
"A caring personality."
[15:24] Ars
"Married."
[15:29] Ars
What's all this? It's his background!
[15:33] Ars
This says he's married, but...
[15:37] Ars
I don't see any signs of a woman's
presence here in the fortress.
[15:44] Guard B
You there! What are you looking at?!
[15:47] Ars
N-Nothing! Just admiring the construction!
[15:52] Lupa
Please wait in this room for now.
[16:01] Rietz
Lord Ars.
[16:02] Rietz
Did you get a read on Lord Lupa's abilities?
[16:04] Ars
Yes. They were universally strong,
as befitting such a renowned general.
[16:10] Rietz
I see. I was hoping he might
have a weakness to exploit...
[16:15] Mierille
Well, we won't know until we talk to him.
[16:17] Mierille
Let's just chill for now.
[16:20] Ars
Oh, and by the way, my Appraisal
skill has acquired a new—
[16:26] Ars
Is that...
[16:28] Ars
A caring personality... Married...
[16:31] Mireille
They sent us their missive last of all.
[16:36] Ars
Could it be...
[16:38] Rietz
Lord Ars?
[16:41] Mireille
The greatest asset in a negotiation is
a grasp of the other side's motivations.
[16:46] (Flashback) Licia
Negotiations begin before you
ever arrive at the table.
[16:50] Guard
Everything's ready. Come right this way.
[16:54] Rietz
This is nerve-racking.
[16:56] Ars
It'll be all right.
[16:58] Ars
I think things are going to go just fine.
[17:02] Lupa
Now, let us begin the negotiations.
[17:05] Lupa
A word of warning:
[17:06] Lupa
I won't accept anything that
puts us on the back foot.
[17:10] Ars
First...
[17:12] Ars
How is your wife in Castle Rolto doing?
[17:16] Ars
Your baby will be arriving soon, won't it?
[17:19] Rietz
Lord Ars?
[17:21] sign
Deduction
[17:23] Ars
When is it due?
[17:26] Lupa
You! How do you know about that?!
[17:29] Rietz
Lord Ars!
[17:33] Ars
Lord Lupa.
[17:34] Ars
Did you invite us here to kill us
under the pretense of negotiations?
[17:41] Guard B
H-How dare you?! He would never—
[17:43] Ars
I thought it was strange.
[17:45] Ars
You're married, but there's no sign
of a woman living in this fortress.
[17:51] Ars
So where could she be?
[17:53] Ars
She's being held hostage
at Castle Rolto, isn't she?
[18:01] Rietz
Why take a hostage from your own ally?
[18:03] Mireille
I get it.
[18:05] Mireille
To make sure he protects
this fort with his life.
[18:09] Ars
That's right.
[18:10] Ars
If he abandons the fort and joins us,
they'll kill his wife.
[18:15] Ars
So regardless of what we discussed,
[18:17] Ars
you'd have no choice but to fight us here.
[18:20] Ars
Is it possible the same is true
for the other forts?
[18:25] Ars
Our scouts reported that Castle Rolto
has sent no reinforcements here.
[18:31] Ars
The lord of Castle Rolto told you
[18:33] Ars
to hold the line with your life,
but doesn't believe you can do it.
[18:37] Ars
In other words, you've been
abandoned, haven't you?
[18:42] Mireille
You're under no obligation
to serve bastards like them,
[18:45] Mireille
but you can't turn on them, either,
given the hostage situation.
[18:49] Mireille
Tough stuff.
[18:50] Ars
But with no hope of reinforcements,
[18:52] Ars
you can't win even if you fight.
[18:55] Ars
So you were hoping to take out at least one
enemy general to prove you'd done something.
[19:01] Ars
If you lured me here under the guise of
negotiation and killed me, you'd get the credit.
[19:05] Ars
We'd destroy your fortress in retaliation,
[19:08] Ars
but you'd protect your reputation,
and they'd spare your wife.
[19:12] Ars
Is that why you said you'd only negotiate
with someone of considerable standing?
[19:18] Rietz
But in that case,
why not just kill us immediately?
[19:22] Ars
Because he was having doubts.
[19:32] Ars
Your wife is pregnant, isn't she?
[19:38] Ars
Betray your lord, and your wife dies.
[19:41] Ars
Fight us here, and you die
without ever seeing your child.
[19:46] Ars
You have to choose one or the other,
but you can't commit to either.
[19:50] Ars
That hesitation was the reason
for your slow reply, wasn't it?
[20:04] Lupa
I've seen many battles in my time.
[20:07] Lupa
My instinct, based on that,
[20:09] Lupa
tells me we've been abandoned here.
[20:12] Lupa
We will surely die in this battle.
[20:16] Lupa
Nevertheless, we will fight with all we have.
[20:19] Lupa
I'm prepared to die for that.
[20:23] Lupa
But I want just once...
[20:25] Lupa
Just once, as a father,
I want to hold my child.
[20:35] Ars
Lord Lupa, I've heard that Lord Couran
wanted you to serve him.
[20:41] Ars
I would like your aid, as well.
[20:44] Ars
Therefore...
[20:45] Ars
I will infiltrate Castle Rolto
and save your wife!
[20:52] Ars
We'll bring your wife to safety,
and you'll be able to meet your child!
[20:55] Lupa
That's not possible!
[20:57] Ars
If we fail to save her, you can have my head.
[21:01] Ars
But if we do save her...
[21:05] Ars
I want you to join us.
[21:09] Ars
Will you give us this chance?
[21:26] Lupa
Please...
[21:28] Lupa
Please, save my wife!

[00:02] Lumiere
I see. So for now, we can say
the negotiations went well.
[00:06] Lumiere
Well done!
[00:07] Mireille
I mean, it was kinda touch-and-go for a bit,
[00:10] Mireille
but we got it together in the end.
[00:12] Ars
They've taken Lord Lupa's wife hostage.
[00:15] Ars
If he surrenders or betrays
them, they'll kill her.
[00:17] Ars
But if he dies in battle,
he'll never meet his child.
[00:21] Ars
It's a painful situation for him.
[00:23] Ars
So we offered him a chance to save
his wife and get to see his baby.
[00:29] Ars
Thanks to my renewed Appraisal skill,
[00:31] Ars
I was able to realize what was eating at him.
[00:35] Ars
Now that we know the situation,
I'd like to help him.
[00:40] Mireille
I can't believe you offered
to save the hostage.

brainstorm that together...

The Maitraw Company?!
[02:58] Ars
You know of them, Rietz?
[03:00] Rietz
They're a combat-oriented
band of mercenaries
[03:03] Rietz
said to never fail any job they're hired for.
[03:05] Rietz
I hear they're in great demand
all over the empire.
[03:08] Clamant
Lumeire, who is this child?
[03:11] Ars
I-I'm Ars Louvent of Lamberg Domain!
[03:14] Ars
Thank you for joining our side!
[03:18] Clamant
Your side?
[03:21] Clamant
Don't get the wrong idea.
[03:22] Clamant
I work only to earn my pay.
[03:26] Clamant
I'm not on your side.
[03:28] Rietz
You dare speak that way to Lord Ars?!
[03:31] Ars
R-Rietz!
[03:33] Clamant
You're Rietz, are you?
[03:35] Clamant
I hear you command these troops.
[03:38] Clamant
It's good to have camaraderie among your men.
[03:41] Clamant
But they're all naïve when
it comes to real battle.
[03:45] Clamant
Not one of them is truly prepared to die.
[03:48] Ars
Prepared... to die?
[03:51] Clamant
You've never faced the possibility
of annihilation, have you?
[03:54] Clamant
You seem to have a talented strategist.
[03:57] Clamant
In battle, to avoid complete annihilation,
[04:01] Clamant
you can always retreat or surrender.
[04:05] Clamant
But it's not the same for mercenaries.
[04:07] Clamant
If ordered to do so,
we'll fight to the last man.
[04:11] Clamant
We live side by side with death every day.
[04:14] Clamant
An organization always straddling
the line between life and death...
[04:17] Clamant
That's the Maitraw Company.
[04:20] Clamant
Let us handle your dangerous mission.
[04:23] Clamant
You'll get far more than your money's worth.
[04:25] Clamant
The child can rest on the back lines.
[04:29] Lumeire
Don't be so cold, Clamant.
[04:32] Lumeire
Ars may be young, but he's
done fine work as a general.
[04:37] Lumeire
Now, let us begin the meeting
regarding the hostage rescue.
[04:42] Menas
The hostages are the families of the
commanders around Rolto Castle,
[04:46] Menas
including Lupa's wife.
[04:48] Menas
They're being held somewhere
within Rolto Castle,
[04:51] Menas
but we don't know the exact location.
[04:54] Ars
Could we ask the members
of Shadow to save them?
[04:58] Mireille
The scouts report that there are over
ten thousand soldiers in Rolto Castle.
[05:02] Mireille
Shadow could probably get in and out
on their own, but with hostages?
[05:06] Mireille
That's not likely if it's full of soldiers.
[05:09] Lumeire
So we need to lure the soldiers
out of the castle, then?
[05:14] Mireille
Yep.
[05:15] Rietz
That won't be easy.
[05:17] Rietz
With ten thousand troops,
our forces are roughly equal,
[05:20] Rietz
but defenders always have
an advantage over attackers.
[05:25] Rietz
The enemy will be more inclined
to hole up in the castle.
[05:28] Menas
If we wait too long, winter will be upon us.
[05:31] Menas
That will make invading Verzud difficult.
[05:35] Mireille
In other words,
[05:36] Mireille
we want to create a situation that will
draw all the soldiers out of Rolto Castle,
[05:41] Mireille
then we rescue the hostages
and blitz the castle itself.
[05:47] Mireille
That's a pretty tall order...
[05:49] Mireille
What's your take, Rosell?
[05:55] Rosell
I think this might just work!

It appears Lumeire of Canarre
sent an envoy to Fort Vardosen.
[06:06] Soldier A
Yes!
[06:07] Soldier A
They most likely requested a surrender,
[06:11] Soldier A
but Lupa turned them down.
[06:13] Soldier A

fort surrounded in a stalemate.

Lord of Castle Rolto

[06:37] Soldier B
Reporting!
[06:40] Soldier B
A message from Lupa!
[06:44] Lupa
Lord Jean, the enemy numbers
roughly ten thousand.
[06:48] Lupa
In hopes of a quick battle,
[06:51] Lupa
they're employing a powerful mage
[06:53] Lupa
and sending a force of five thousand,
[06:56] Lupa
led by their general, to attack Rolto Castle.
[06:59] Jean
What? They're going to attack us?
[07:02] Lupa
The enemy is watching closely,
[07:04] Lupa
and getting you this missive was not easy.
[07:07] Lupa
I pray that it finds you well.
[07:11] Lupa
From Lupa, Fort Vardosen.
[07:13] Soldier B
We found the letter on a wounded
soldier from Fort Vardosen
[07:16] Soldier B
who'd collapsed in front of the gate.
[07:20] Soldier B
He must have been pursued by
the enemy while delivering it.
[07:23] Jean
And the handwriting is Lupa's?
[07:26] Soldier B
A penmanship analysis confirmed it.
[07:29] Dan
The powerful mage must be
[07:31] Dan
the woman who broke through the barrier
at Fort Vakmakro all by herself.
[07:39] Jean
So even if we hole up here,
they could still break in.
[07:45] Jean
If there's only five thousand of them,
[07:47] Jean
let's fight them on the field.
[07:49] Jean
Mages are a pesky bunch,
but close combat isn't their forte.
[07:52] Jean
And they'll find it difficult to keep
their aqua magia supply up.
[07:58] Jean
Can you handle it?
[07:59] Dan
My cavalry does its best work in the field.
[08:03] Dan
I'll bring you the enemy general's head.

I've also informed the other forts of the plan
[08:20] Lupa
and instructed their forces not to interfere.
[08:23] Ars
Thank you.
[08:25] Lupa
Let us take the field, then.
[08:27] Ars

you've betrayed Castle Rolto.

operation is finished.

extremely effective in the field.

If we lose, continue to fight as part of
Lord Vasmarque's forces as you've been doing.

we'll have Shadow infiltrate

[09:35] Ars
I see! Two birds with one stone.
[09:38] Rosell
There's just one thing that worries me...
[09:41] Rietz
To fake a retreat means evading enemy attacks
[09:45] Rietz
and staying safe while fleeing.
[09:47] Rietz
It's harder than it may seem.
[09:50] Rietz
And against an enemy force twice our size,
[09:52] Rietz
they may well destroy us before we get away.
[09:55] Clamant
I understand.
[09:57] Clamant
The Maitraw Company will act
as the decoy force, then.
[10:02] Rosell
We can't have that.
[10:03] Clamant
What?
[10:04] Rosell
Our opponent will only deploy against us if
it's our main force led by our head general.
[10:10] Rosell
We can't let them think it's a detachment.
[10:14] Mireille

Wh-Who is that man?
[11:41] Ars
The leader of that cavalry has
stats on par with Rietz's!
[11:47] Ars
No, it's not just him...
[11:50] Ars
Everyone in the cavalry has really high stats!
[11:53] Rosell
About half of their force is cavalry.
[11:55] Rosell
This may prove a very difficult battle.
[11:59] Rietz
Stay strong, men!
[12:02] Rietz
The cavalry will use their mobility
to come at us from all angles!
[12:06] Rietz
Take formations that
allow for no blind spots!
[12:09] Rietz
Their high mobility compromises
their defenses!
[12:12] Rietz
A single hit will take them down!

The retreat is a ruse.

Those aren't the faces of a frightened force.

[13:55] Cavalry A
What do we do?

I'll join in the fight.

Dan, get around ahead of them

Don't pursue them too far.

Sir!
[14:06] Cavalry A
Are you sure about leaving Lord Jean to lead?
[14:10] Cavalry A
He doesn't look like a fighter to me.
[14:12] Dan
Don't be ridiculous.

Lord Jean's even more fearsome than me.
[14:19] Dan
He and I were born into the house
of the leader of a band of horsemen.
[14:24] Dan
We attacked villages,
sparing neither women nor children.
[14:28] Dan
Even the governor of Missian
was terrified of us.

I won't let you do that.

I can see in your eyes that it's a lie.

However...

I won't simply let you have your way.

They can't make use of their
speed with all that heavy armor.

[17:12] Lumeire
They're going to eradicate us
before we reach the forest!
[17:15] Ars
Even if we call for aid,
[17:17] Ars
we can't beat their cavalry on open terrain!
[17:20] Ars
And some of our soldiers
are still holding on to hope.
[17:25] Ars
As their leader, if even one of
them still believes we can win,
[17:30] Ars
I don't want to give up until I have to!
[17:35] Ars
Everyone! This is going
to be a difficult battle.
[17:38] Ars
But if we can hold out here,
we will claim victory!

[20:00] Lupa
That's exactly what did it.
[20:04] Lupa
Missian is currently at war.
These are dangerous times.
[20:08] Lupa
Danger drives men to desperation,
[20:10] Lupa
narrows their perspective,
[20:12] Lupa
makes them unable to care about others.
[20:15] Lupa
But you're risking your life to save my wife.

I could not stand idle in
the face of such mettle.

I might lose everything.

will chase us into the woods.
[03:33] Rietz
Lord Ars, I believe the enemy commander
realized the retreat was a ruse.
[03:38] Rietz
They may not pursue any farther.
[03:41] Rosell
No, they will.
[03:43] Rosell
The plan Mireille and I worked out
should be springing into action now!
[03:52] Cavalry A
After chasing them this far,
you want to go back to the castle?
[03:56] Jean
Yes. This is a trap.
[03:59] Jean
If we enter the forest now,
they'll have us right where they want us.
[04:02] Cavalry B
But we've taken out a third of their forces!
[04:06] Cavalry B
Even if they've set a trap,
surely we can power through it.
[04:09] Cavalry A
Yes! We almost have them!
[04:12] Jean
We've done a fair amount
of damage to their forces.
[04:15] Jean
Better to return to the castle
and prepare for siege
[04:18] Jean
than to press the attack
and take losses of our own.
[04:20] Cavalry A

[04:27] Cavalry B
Hey, stop! Didn't you

[05:05] Mireille
Looks like the plan worked.
[05:07] Rosell
Mireille and I cooked up a plan
before the battle began.
[05:11] Rosell
Once soldiers get a taste of victory,
it's very hard to hold them back.
[05:18] Rosell
If the pursuit succeeds,
they'll distinguish themselves
[05:21] Rosell
and earn the spoils that are
essential to a soldier's livelihood.
[05:25] Rosell
Even if their general tries to stop them,
they'll blind themselves to the risk.
[05:31] Rosell
I had Mireille and a few others steal
enemy armor in the chaos, put it on,
[05:36] Rosell
and infiltrate their ranks
while they were regrouping.
[05:39] Rosell
If they dash out at just the right time,
[05:42] Rosell
it'll provoke the others into pursuit!
[05:45] Ars
That's an amazing plan! Nice work, you two!
[05:49] Lumeire

seen Mireille in a while.

I don't really know what I'm doing myself.
[13:00] Jean
When you ran after the enemy,
I could have simply let you go.
[13:06] Jean
Normally, that's what I would have done.
[13:09] Jean
But for some reason, I remembered...
[13:13] Jean
the taste of that soup you gave me.
[13:18] Jean
Dan, I think...
I'm relieved that you're alive.

Don't cry, Jean. That's not like you.

Lord Lupa!
[13:44] Lupa
Lord Ars. You're taking the enemy general
and soldiers prisoner instead of killing them?
[13:48] Ars
Yes. We're going to send them to Semplar.
[13:51] Ars
Thank you for all your help.
[13:54] Ars
If you hadn't saved us, we'd be...
[13:57] Lupa
Your skill is the reason
I decided to help you.
[14:01] Lupa
I'm glad I could be of service.
[14:03] Ars
Now you'll get to see your wife, won't you?
[14:07] Ars
I'm sure Pham saved her...
[14:10] Ars
Lord Lupa? Are you all right?!
[14:13] Ars
We need a doctor!
[14:15] Ars
So much blood...
[14:20] Ars
You said it wasn't that bad...
[14:22] Ars
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
[14:28] Lupa
It was a hard battle with
our side at a disadvantage.
[14:31] Lupa
I didn't want to collapse and lower morale.
[14:36] Ars
Lord Lupa...
[14:38] Doctor
Lord Ars.
[14:39] Doctor
I've stopped the bleeding,
but he's lost a lot of blood.
[14:44] Doctor
If he loses consciousness,
he may never regain it.
[14:48] Ars
Lord Lupa, he says it's just a flesh wound!
[14:50] Ars
I'm sure you'll recover!
[14:53] Lupa
If I die now, I will have no regrets.
[14:58] Ars
Don't talk that way!
[14:59] Ars
This can't be...
[15:04] Lupa
Lord Ars, do you have a dream?
[15:08] Lupa
I have one.
[15:10] Lupa
That someday... someday,
when the fighting is over
[15:14] Lupa
and peace returns to the land,
[15:17] Lupa
I'd live in a small house.
[15:20] Lupa
My child would play in
the garden with our dog.
[15:23] Lupa
And my wife would be smiling beside me.
[15:27] Lupa
That is my dream.
[15:29] Lupa
It's what I fought for...
so I regret nothing.
[15:34] Ars
I'm going to create that peaceful world!
[15:36] Ars
So you can't give up yet!
[15:38] Ars
Lord Lupa!
[15:42] Lupa
Thinking back, my life has
been nothing but fighting.
[15:46] Lupa
I'd gotten it into my head that
that's all it would ever be.
[15:52] Lupa
And yet...
[15:56] Lupa
Maria opened my eyes to a whole new world.
[16:01] Lupa
When I was with her, the smallest
things would bring me happiness.
[16:07] Lupa
As long as I had her by my side,
I didn't need anything else.
[16:21] Lupa
Of course... you'll guide me off
here at the end, as well?
[16:34] Maria
Dear! Come back to me!
[16:38] Lupa
Is that you, Maria?
[16:39] Maria
Yes, it's me!

[18:06] Ars
I believe that bearing up
to the imminent danger
[18:09] Ars
has made us stronger than ever before.
[18:14] Ars
But so many soldiers died to end this war.
[18:21] Ars
It's natural to see casualties in war.
Expected, even.
[18:27] Ars
But everyone who fell on our side,
and the enemy's, as well...
[18:32] Ars
They had families they loved and things
they were fighting to protect, too.
[18:38] Ars
That's why...
[18:40] Ars
To make sure these sacrifices aren't in vain,
[18:43] Ars
we must create a better future.
[18:52] Ars
Even if we're on different sides,
[18:54] Ars
I know we share a desire to
protect what we care about
[18:58] Ars

we can forge a future

I'm writing letters.
[19:49] Rietz
Letters?
[19:50] Rietz
So many... to whom?
[19:52] Ars
The families of the fallen soldiers.
[19:58] Ars
They all have people awaiting their return.
[20:03] Ars
People who'll never see them again.
[20:06] Ars
So at the very least...
[20:08] Ars
I wanted to tell their
families what they did,
[20:11] Ars
how they met their end,
[20:14] Ars
and how they lived as warriors.
[20:21] Ars
This one is for Carl, the son of a baker.
[20:25] Ars
He was a generous man who always
gave me more bread than I could eat.
[20:30] Ars
This is Baron, who served at our estate.
[20:34] Ars
When he passed, he...
[20:38] Ars
He was... protecting me.
[20:49] Ars
When times were good, we laughed together.
[20:53] Ars
When times were hard,
we came together to get through.
[20:56] Ars
They were all a part of my family.
[21:03] Ars
I'm sorry. I tried to put on a
good showing for everyone.
[21:08] Ars
I'm sure my father would be
disappointed to see me like this.

It wasn't easy.
[04:32] Thomas
Lord Couran was quite cautious,
[04:34] Thomas
setting up multiple supply camps like that...
[04:38] Thomas
But we managed to take most of them out.
[04:42] Canses
Still, Castle Staatz is well defended,
with tens of thousands of troops within.
[04:48] Canses
Was it really necessary to
target their aqua magia?
[04:52] Thomas
Lord Canses.
[04:54] Thomas
Magic is the heart of modern warfare.
[04:57] Thomas
Even the most stalwart of
castles may fall before it.
[05:00] Thomas
Couran's army in particular was carrying
a great deal of explosion aqua magia.
[05:05] Canses
I see.
[05:07] Thomas
But we'll be safe for a while yet.
[05:11] Thomas
Now that they've lost their
aqua magia and supplies,
[05:14] Thomas
we've drawn out this campaign.
[05:17] Thomas
If we can hold out until winter,
we'll have won.
[05:22] Canses
Then we can just sit back and wait?
[05:25] Thomas
No, we're dealing with Couran's army.
[05:27] Thomas
They're sure to plan a countermeasure.
[05:30] Thomas
So we need to strike their
weakness before then
[05:33] Thomas
and clinch our victory.
[05:36] Canses
Their weakness?
[05:37] Thomas
Lord Couran himself.
[05:40] Canses
Lord Couran?!
[05:42] Canses
But... loath as I am to admit it,
[05:44] Canses
Couran excels in combat.
[05:47] Thomas
And that excellence is his weakness.
[05:51] Thomas
Lord Couran should remain
in the safety of Semplar
[05:54] Thomas
and leave command of the
front line to his retainers.
[05:57] Thomas
But rather than delegate that duty,
his excellence compels him
[06:01] Thomas
to take the battlefield himself.
[06:05] Thomas
Which simultaneously leaves
him vulnerable to attack.
[06:09] Canses
I'd like to exploit that,
but he'll surely be well defended.
[06:15] Canses
Is it even possible?
[06:16] Thomas
Leave everything to me.
[06:19] Thomas
I've lost to them once already.
[06:23] Thomas
My pride demands that I put
an end to them this time.

a large catalyzer to Mount Thorey.

Mount Thorey?
[07:38] Ars
Lord Couran's forces are camped here, so...
[07:41] Rietz
They'd certainly be visible from the mountain.

Without their aqua magia,
Lord Couran's men can't use magic.

Meanwhile, the enemy is redirecting their mages from defense to attack.
[07:54] Rosell
Do they intend to launch a magic
attack from the mountain?
[07:59] Lumeire
No. The distance between
the two points is too great.
[08:02] Lumeire
A magic attack wouldn't reach them.
[08:05] Rosell

it's going to start raining.
[08:55] (Flashback) Mireille
Yeah, mages are a precious resource.
[08:58] (Flashback) Mireille
No point in sending them
somewhere they can't attack from.
[09:01] (Flashback) Mireille
But one thing you could have
them do is use a spell called Rain.
[09:07] (Flashback) Mireille
If you create storm clouds from a high enough
altitude, the rain will reach Couran's unit.
[09:12] (Flashback) Mireille
And Verzud mines a lot of
water magistones, right?
[09:16] (Flashback) Ars
What threat does that pose to Lord Couran?
[09:19] (Flashback) Mireille
The spell doesn't just make it rain.
[09:21] (Flashback) Mireille
It can create a massive downpour
for a very brief time.
[09:26] (Flashback) Mireille
In the land where Couran's camped,
[09:28] (Flashback) Mireille
the roads are poorly maintained,
[09:31] (Flashback) Mireille
and the ground easily turns to mud.
[09:33] (Flashback) Mireille
It'll make them slow to maneuver.
[09:37] (Flashback) Mireille
It can make things more
chaotic than you'd expect.
[09:40] (Flashback) Mireille
The rain impedes vision.
[09:42] (Flashback) Mireille
You can't see more than a few meters,
[09:44] (Flashback) Mireille

[15:05] Couran
I think this should be satisfactory
compensation for all you've done.
[15:10] Couran
But if it's not...
[15:13] Couran
I'd love to bring you
into my personal retinue.
[15:19] Pham
Oh?
[15:20] Pham
Retainers to the next
governor of Missian, eh?
[15:23] Couran
I'll need a behind-the-scenes unit like yours
to ensure victory in these turbulent times.
[15:29] Couran
I can guarantee you a most exciting future.
[15:33] Pham
No.
[15:34] Pham
I don't need your money.
[15:36] Couran
It's not enough?
[15:38] Pham
It's not that.
[15:39] Pham
But you're not the one who hired us.
[15:43] Pham
The kid did.
[15:45] Pham
He'll give us more than enough.
[15:50] Pham
Those were the terms of our contract.
[15:54] Couran
Rejected, eh?
[15:57] Couran
Inform Ars that he saved my life...
[16:01] Couran
and that Shadow will probably be
seeking significant compensation.
[16:13] Pham
It wasn't a bad offer, was it?

Sure.

A-Also, he mentioned that you might
ask for significant compensation, so...

Yeah, that's right.

[17:53] Ars
Do you need a fresh bandage?
[17:56] Ars
Pham?
[17:59] Pham
We of Shadow have lived
our lives as mercenaries.
[18:04] Pham
My men and I are a ragtag bunch
of wanderers and former criminals.
[18:10] Pham
We'll take any job, no matter how dirty,
if it keeps food on the table.
[18:16] Pham
Even if that job is murder.
[18:20] Ars
Understood.
[18:23] Pham
Ars... Do I frighten you?
[18:29] Ars
Frighten me? Why would you ask that?
[18:31] Ars
You never have. Ever.
[18:35] Ars
You always do all I ask and more.
[18:37] Ars
You've earned every fiber of my trust.
[18:42] Ars
I mean, we'd certainly have lost
this campaign without you!
[18:46] Ars
I'm always extremely grateful to you.
[18:49] Ars
Oh, though you do charge
rather steep prices...
[18:59] Glenn
Th-The boss is laughing.
[19:04] Pham
I see. In that case, for my reward...
[19:09] Pham
Why not make me a retainer?
[19:16] Ars
Wh-Wh-What do you mean by that?
[19:19] Pham
Just what I said.
[19:20] Pham
The Shadow Company will
work for you from now on.
[19:23] Glenn
What are you saying, Boss?
[19:26] Pham
I always place my bets earlier than anyone.
[19:29] Pham
I do it before anyone's looking,
and I win big.
[19:34] Pham
Right now he's only the lord of a domain,
[19:37] Pham
but I think that, someday,
[19:39] Pham
he'll be the greatest man in Summerforth.
[19:45] Pham
And...
[19:52] Pham
Well? Do you accept?
[19:54] Ars
O-Of course I do!
[19:56] Ars
I can't imagine anything I'd like better!
[19:59] Glenn
If the boss says so, he must be right.

[00:01] Narrator
The authority of the
Summerforth Empire is waning,
[00:04] Narrator
giving rise to rebellion across the realm.
[00:07] Narrator
While noble rulers of various provinces
strengthened their autonomy,
[00:11] Narrator
Governor Amador Salamakhia
of Missian Province passed away.
[00:16] Narrator
Missian has thus been
divided into two factions
[00:20] Narrator
under the governor's eldest son,
Couran Salamakhia,
[00:23] Narrator
and his second son, Vasmarque Salamakhia.
[00:26] Narrator
Vasmarque occupies the provincial capital,
Arcantez, and has proclaimed himself the heir,
[00:32] Narrator
but Couran has mobilized to depose him.
[00:35] Narrator
Ars, Lord of Lamberg, has retained
the mercenary company Shadow,
[00:41] Narrator
and now heads forth to take Castle Staatz.

[00:56] Ars
Contact Lord Couran!
[00:58] Ars
Let's initiate the plan!
[01:01] Narrator
The strategy for Ars and his camp was thus.
[01:04] Narrator
First, Couran's army of fifty thousand
laid siege to the castle
[01:08] Narrator
while Ars took five thousand
of his men to the north.
[01:12] Narrator
This forced the enemy general,
the headman of Verzud,
[01:17] Narrator
to focus his mages in the south
to deal with Couran's larger force.
[01:21] Narrator
Naturally, they left some mages on the north
side to deal with five thousand troops.
[01:26] Narrator
But that is where...
[01:30] Narrator
they miscalculated.

might be after my throne.

Of course, I don't believe that's the case.
[16:53] Ars
O-Of course not!

put my nervous retainers at ease.

I had to acknowledge that.

Thomas came after me himself.

It's a sign of their desperation.

I expect the Verzud forces to
throw everything they have at us.

I'll be relying on all of you.

Yes, sir!

We're finally going to face Thomas directly.
[05:50] Ars
Will Mireille really...
[05:55] Guard A
Excuse me.
[05:56] Guard A
A messenger from Verzud's headman
requests an audience with Lord Couran.
[06:02] Messenger
I'm here on behalf of Canses Vandol,
headman of Verzud.
[06:08] Couran
What is his message?
[06:10] Messenger
Regarding the upcoming battle...
[06:13] Messenger
Would you perhaps accept a truce?
[06:18] Couran
A truce? Now?
[06:21] Messenger
Lord Canses seeks to avoid needless death.
[06:26] Couran
He knows he's losing and
doesn't want to surrender,
[06:29] Couran
so he's asking for a truce?
[06:31] Messenger
Not at all.
[06:33] Messenger
The needless death will be
on your side, Lord Couran.
[06:37] Couran
What does that mean?
[06:39] Messenger
We've successfully developed
a large-scale weapon...
[06:44] Messenger
A massive catalyzer and spell capable
of wiping a city off the map in one strike.
[06:51] Messenger
If we wish, we could turn this entire
area into a barren wasteland.
[06:57] Couran
If you have such a device,
why haven't you used it already?
[07:02] Messenger
If possible, we'd prefer not to destroy our
own lands and kill our brethren en masse.
[07:11] Messenger
But should your aggression continue,
we will be left with no other recourse.
[07:16] Messenger
Therefore, I came to request a truce.
[07:20] Couran
I find this difficult to believe.
[07:23] Couran
Give us some time.
[07:25] Mireille
It's totally a bluff, you guys!
[07:28] Ars
Yes, I suppose...
[07:31] Ars
Have you heard anything
about this large-scale weapon?
[07:34] Couran
Nothing from the previous governor.
[07:36] Couran
I doubt that Verzud alone could
create such a powerful weapon.
[07:42] Charlotte
They expect us to believe this crap?
[07:44] Rietz
It does feel rather pointless
to even humor the idea.
[07:48] Ars
You're right.
[07:50] Couran
Well, I feel like we should
reject their offer, at least.
[07:53] Couran
Send the messenger away.
[07:55] Guard A
My lord!
[08:00] Ars
What's the matter, Rosell?
[08:02] Rosell
It's just... It seems awfully
crude to be a bluff.
[08:07] Rosell
Surely they knew we wouldn't accept.
[08:10] Rosell
Thomas is on their side, isn't he?
[08:13] Rosell
He must have something else
in mind, don't you think?
[08:17] Mireille
Not sure.

Could you tell me more about
your relationship with him?

Kill your children?!
[09:44] (Flashback) Edouard
Unlike their father, they're both brilliant.

But that brilliance also
makes them dangerous.
[09:51] (Flashback) Edouard
If they're stripped of their noble standing

they may become a threat to Missian someday!

[10:28] (Flashback) Young Thomas
They might kill us, too!
[10:30] (Flashback) Young Mireille
C'mon, think about it.
[10:32] (Flashback) Young Mireille
The governor ignored all of our father's
pleas when deciding to execute him.
[10:36] (Flashback) Young Mireille
Why would he believe him about
the need to have us killed?
[10:47] Mireille
Our father was then executed,
[10:49] Mireille
and we became commoners.
[10:54] (Flashback) Noble A
No need to go any further.
[10:56] (Flashback) Noble B
They may be the children of a traitor,

I see.

Wait, but that doesn't add up, either...
[15:24] Ars
What is it, Rosell?
[15:26] Rosell
Why bother buying time?
[15:28] Rosell
There's no way to get backup
to Castle Verzud anyway.

All it would do is give us
more time for reinforcements.
[15:35] Rosell
They're putting themselves
at a greater disadvantage.
[15:38] Ars
You're right.
[15:39] Rosell
Also, did they really expect us to believe
them about the large-scale weapon?
[15:44] Rosell
Surely Thomas is smarter than that...
[15:47] Couran
I have heard that they're strengthening
Castle Verzud's defenses.

[16:58] Mireille
so he can hit us hard while our guard's down.
[17:01] Couran
I see.
[17:03] Couran
He was taking your
intelligence into account.
[17:07] Rosell
Which means they'll have an ambush
waiting for us when we march.
[17:11] Rosell
As for spots along the path to Castle Verzud
where we'd be vulnerable to ambush...
[17:18] Rosell
Here! The Forest of Kai!
[17:21] Rosell
The enemy might be hiding in here!
[17:25] Couran
Good. Well done, Ars.
[17:28] Couran
We can use this to outwit the enemy.
[17:30] Ars
Not at all! Thank you, sir!
[17:32] Couran
Let's move out!
[17:34] Couran
We'll burn the forest with their troops in it!
[17:37] Retainers
Sir!
[17:39] Mireille
Turning an old plan of mine back on me...
[17:43] Mireille
You've still got a long way to go.
[17:46] Mireille
Looks like I win again.
[17:51] Narrator
The most important element of strategy is
gauging the depth of your enemy's thinking.
[17:57] Narrator
Whoever correctly estimates
their enemy's intelligence
[18:01] Narrator
and deciphers their thinking
will control the flow of battle.
[18:04] sign
Forest of Kai
[18:04] Narrator
The enemy force led by Thomas was,
as Mireille's side predicted,
[18:08] Narrator
indeed in the Forest of Kai near Verzud.
[18:12] Narrator
But this time,
[18:13] Narrator
the one with greater understanding
of their opponent was not Mireille...
[18:17] Narrator
but rather Thomas.
[18:20] Thomas
Just you wait, Mireille.
[18:22] Thomas
You'll realize we've set an ambush in the
forest and try to burn it down with us inside.
[18:27] Thomas
You'll be certain of your victory.
[18:30] Thomas
But we've rigged up the forest with magical
devices that detonate in contact with flames.
[18:37] Thomas
They'll blow the moment
you unleash your fire
[18:40] Thomas
and deal significant damage to your forces.
[18:43] Anton
It's an amazing plan,
predicting what the enemy will think.
[18:46] Anton
Lord Thomas is as incredible as ever.
[18:50] Bent
The devices are all in place!
[18:52] Thomas
Good.
[18:53] Thomas
Now I'll tell you the real plan.
[18:58] Thomas
The enemy outnumbers us many times over.
[19:00] Thomas
Even if we take a portion
of them out with explosives,
[19:03] Thomas
it won't be enough to stop their advance.
[19:06] Bent
Then this was all pointless?
[19:08] Thomas
No.
[19:09] Thomas
The explosions will tell them they made
the wrong call and throw them into disarray.
[19:13] Bent
You're going to break their line
while the bombs are going off?!
[19:17] Thomas
Yes.
[19:19] Thomas
We're vastly outnumbered in this situation.
[19:22] Thomas
To overcome that,
we must be willing to risk death.
[19:27] Thomas
The battle ahead is do-or-die!
[19:30] Thomas
We may not survive it.
[19:34] Thomas
If you're not prepared to face that,
then leave before I turn around.
[19:44] Thomas
It's a dangerous plan.
[19:46] Thomas
If we fail to take the enemy
general's head, we may die in vain.
[19:51] Thomas
But...
[19:53] (Flashback) Vasmarque
I see.
[19:54] (Flashback) Vasmarque
You're Edouard Grangeon's son?
[20:01] (Flashback) Vasmarque
He gave his heart and soul for our province.
[20:06] (Flashback) Vasmarque
I believe that he was wrongly accused.
[20:10] (Flashback) Vasmarque
We lost a good man.
[20:13] Thomas
In that moment, I swore
allegiance to Lord Vasmarque.
[20:18] Thomas
I've done absolutely everything
I could to bring him victory.
[20:23] Thomas
That includes the plot at Castle Samkh.
[20:26] Thomas
If I die, so be it.
[20:29] Thomas
I've been prepared for death at every turn.
[20:36] Thomas
All I do, I do for Lord Vasmarque.
[20:39] Thomas
My loyalty is my affirmation
of the way my father lived,
[20:44] Thomas
and it will bring me victory over Mireille!
[20:48] Thomas
Even if none of them stay with me...
[20:51] Thomas
I'll do it myself!
[20:59] Thomas
You all...
[21:04] Bent
Lord Thomas.
[21:06] Bent
Just as you swear allegiance
to Lord Vasmarque,
[21:10] Bent
we swear allegiance to you.
[21:18] Thomas
Some of you may not survive this.
[21:23] Thomas
But more than being a mere
ragtag band of soldiers,
[21:26] Thomas
a force that comes together in the
name of a cause is truly strong.
[21:32] Thomas
I'm proud of all of you.
[21:38] Thomas
Take your positions!
[21:42] Thomas
We charge at the first explosion!
[21:45] All
Sir!
[21:50] Couran
The Forest of Kai is just ahead!
[23:25] Rietz
Thanks to Rosell, we know what
the enemy's after, right?
[23:28] Ars
Yes.
[23:29] Ars
But they may have a plan to circumvent ours.
[23:33] Rietz
We can't let our guard down, but I
know you can handle this, Lord Ars.

What's wrong? They're not going off.

Their forces did deploy, didn't they?

S-S-S-Sorry!
[06:39] Rietz
Why did you rush out like that?
[06:42] Ars
I'm not sure.
[06:44] Ars
I knew Lord Couran was far
more capable than me, but...
[06:49] Ars
When I thought about what might
happen, I couldn't stop myself.
[06:55] Charlotte
That's just who Ars is.
[06:57] Rietz
Don't you forget that I've known
him longer than you have.
[07:02] Charlotte
What, trying to play the seniority card?
[07:04] Ars
Now, now, now!
[07:06] Ars
Anyway, I hope they're all right...
[07:12] Mireille
Haven't seen you in a while,
man. You look awful.
[07:16] Thomas
Be quiet!
[07:17] Thomas
I lost to you again.
[07:19] Thomas
Just kill me now!
[07:20] Mireille
Sheesh, still such a drama queen.
[07:23] Mireille
I think you've got it wrong, though.
[07:25] Mireille
I'm not the one who saw through your plan.
[07:29] Thomas
This child did?
[07:31] Mireille
But man, talk about a close call!
[07:33] Mireille
If it'd just been me, we'd be dead by now.
[07:37] Mireille
Thanks, Rosell.
[07:39] Rosell
N-Not at all!
[07:40] Thomas
How did you see through my plan?!
[07:43] Thomas
The success of a plan is determined by how
well you can anticipate your opponent!
[07:48] Thomas
I know Mireille through and through,
[07:50] Thomas
but you know nothing about me!
[07:51] Rosell
Y-Yes, that's very true!
[07:54] Rosell
But I've spent a lot of time
thinking about Mireille, too...
[07:59] Rosell
T-To defeat your enemy, it's important to
think about how you'd defeat your own side.
[08:05] Rosell
So I had to think about how I'd beat Mireille!
[08:10] (Flashback) Couran
Prepare to fire!
[08:11] (Flashback) Rosell
W-Wait a minute!
[08:12] (Flashback) Rosell
I think there might be bombs in the forest!
[08:15] Mireille
And Rosell was right on the money.
[08:17] Mireille
He's my pupil, but I've gotta hand it to him.
[08:20] Mireille
All you could think about was beating me.
[08:24] Mireille
You never thought someone else might
come up with the exact same ideas you did.
[08:29] Mireille
You really are a dunce of a brother.
[08:34] Charlotte
They're siblings, but there must be
bad blood, given that they're enemies.
[08:41] Charlotte
Ars?
[08:44] sign
Tends to hide her true feelings.
[08:49] Mireille
I mean, ever since you were a kid—
[08:51] Ars
M-Mireille!
[08:53] Ars
Um, you really should say
what you're really thinking!
[08:58] Mireille
Huh? What in the world are you...
[09:10] Mireille
I guess so.
[09:12] Mireille
You seriously whooped me this time!
[09:15] Mireille
But my pupil saved my skin,
so I guess it amounts to a draw.
[09:23] Mireille
I'm just tryin' to say, y'know...
[09:29] Mireille
You've gotten good at this.
[09:36] (Flashback) Young Mireille
But we've still got our brains and our mouths.
[09:38] (Flashback) Young Mireille
With weapons like these,
we can keep on living.
[09:54] Thomas
In the end, maybe...
[10:07] Thomas
In the end, maybe I just wanted
Mireille to acknowledge me.
[10:15] Mireille
What's so funny?
[10:17] Thomas
Nothing.
[10:19] Thomas
I admit defeat.
[10:24] Couran
Thomas.
[10:26] Thomas
Lord Couran...
[10:28] Couran
Serve me, and you have my word
you'll be treated well.

I've sworn allegiance to Lord Vasmarque.
[10:36] Thomas
Even if I've lost, I cannot
compromise on that.
[10:41] Couran
I see. A shame.
[10:44] Couran

[10:48] Ars
We can breathe easy now.
[10:50] Rosell

Hey, kid!
[10:55] Thomas
Nice work.
[10:57] Rosell
W-Well, if Lord Ars hadn't encouraged me...

Don't let Mireille influence you too much.
[11:07] Rosell

Headman
[11:43] Couran
With this, our army controls two of the three
great cities of Semplar, Arcantez, and Verzud.
[11:50] Couran
All thanks to your hard work.
[11:53] Couran
I will now award honors.
[11:58] Couran
First, I wish to appoint new headmen
to the districts of Verzud and Samkh.
[12:04] Couran
Frador.
[12:05] Couran
I fear I must ask you to step
down as the headman of Samkh.
[12:09] Fraedor
As you will, my lord.
[12:11] Ars
Both districts will be extremely
important in the battle ahead.
[12:16] Ars
Who is Lord Couran going
to put in charge of them?
[12:20] Couran
For headman of Verzud,
I appoint Lumeire Pyres.
[12:28] Ars
Lord Lumeire... That's great!
[12:32] Rietz
Canarre's forces did accomplish
the most, after all.
[12:39] Couran
For headman of Samkh, I appoint Lupa Luzton.
[12:44] Chad
L-Lupa?!
[12:48] Mireille
Instating the surrendered enemy, Lupa, eh?
[12:50] Mireille
Not a bad management strategy
to encourage more enemy defectors,
[12:55] Mireille
but it'll make waves for sure.
[12:58] Ars
Still, I know Lord Lupa can handle the job.
[13:06] Lupa
I humbly accept.
[13:10] Ars
It's an excellent choice.
[13:13] Charlotte
But what happens to Canarre now?
[13:20] Couran
Lumeire is currently the headman of Canarre,
[13:23] Couran
but Canarre and Verzud
are quite far from each other.
[13:25] Couran
It would be difficult to manage both at once.
[13:28] Couran
Therefore...
[13:31] Couran
I'll leave the rule of Canarre
[13:32] Couran
to Ars Louvent.
[13:41] Rietz
L-Lord Ars!
[13:42] Rosell
Calm down!
[13:43] Ars
I-I-I'm not just leading Lamberg,
but Canarre District now?!
[13:49] Couran
I told you about this before.
[13:51] Couran
It just happened a bit earlier than expected.
[13:55] Couran
If we win the upcoming war...
[13:58] Couran
I'll make you the headman of Canarre.
[14:01] Ars
What he said back then... He meant it?
[14:06] Alman
Wait a minute!
[14:08] Alman
You want to promote him to our level?
[14:11] Alman
Don't you think he's a bit young for the job?
[14:14] Alman
It's too hasty! I won't accept it!
[14:20] Ars
Ruling a district means having
so many people relying on you...
[14:25] Ars
Maybe it is too soon for me.
[14:28] Caeden
Just because you have
a few skilled retainers—
[14:31] Krall
That's unbecoming of you.
[14:33] Krall
We know Ars very well.
[14:37] Krall
It's true that he has skilled retainers,
[14:39] Krall
but his retainers serve Ars
because of his own excellence.
[14:44] Hammond
We can't imagine anyone better to
serve as Canarre's headman above us!
[14:48] Ars
Lord Krall... Lord Hammond...
[14:50] Perreina
I might have defected to the
enemy if not for Ars, as well!
[14:56] Alman
The headmen of Perreina and Maasa...
[14:59] Maasa
I heard that Lord Fraedor's and Lord Lupa's
defections were also inspired by Ars.
[15:05] Maasa
He truly has the power
to spur others to action.
[15:08] Charlotte
Yeah, what they said!
[15:11] Charlotte
Ars did the most out of anyone here!
[15:14] Mireille
Agreed!
[15:16] Rosell
I-I think so, too!
[15:18] Pham
I wouldn't have done as much as I did
if Ars hadn't been the one asking.

as headman of Canarre.

I'm not actually pleased.
[16:34] Lumerie
I just couldn't say it there,
with everyone celebrating.
[16:38] Ars
But why?
[16:40] Lumeire
I don't feel ready to lead Verzud...
[16:43] Lumeire
Rather, I don't want to let go of Canarre.
[16:47] Lumeire
Verzud's cities are far larger, and its
natural resources far greater than Canarre's.
[16:54] Lumeire
Though I know I should be honored...
[16:58] Lumeire
I grew up in Canarre,
[17:02] Lumeire
on land handed down through
my family for generations.
[17:05] Lumeire
I worked hard to help as many
of my people as I could.
[17:10] Lumeire
My efforts weren't enough,
but I intended to keep trying.
[17:15] Lumeire
In truth, I'd rather keep watching over my
homeland than the strange land of Verzud.
[17:22] Ars
Lord Lumeire...
[17:24] Lumeire
But there's one person I feel
comfortable leaving my domain to.
[17:30] Lumeire
That's you, Ars.
[17:34] Lumeire
I've seen the successes of you and
Lamberg through the process of this war.
[17:40] Lumeire
I've seen your growth through the
trust you place in your people,
[17:44] Lumeire

for Canarre in Lamberg.

Ars, can you make Canarre an
even better place than before?
[18:09] Ars
I can, Lord Lumeire.

You read my letter, didn't you?
[20:13] Licia
Yes... Yes...
[20:15] Ars
I saw so many incredible things.
[20:18] Licia
Lord Ars...
[20:21] Licia
Let's stay like this for just a little while.
[20:25] Ars
All right, Licia.
[20:32] Kreiz
Big Brother!
[20:33] Wren
Big Brother! Hug me, too!
[20:36] Kreiz
Me, too!
[20:38] Ars
Kreiz! Wren!
[20:41] Alice
Lady Sofia, Lord Ars has returned.
[20:46] Sofia
Yes.
[20:49] Sofia
Welcome home, Ars.
[20:52] Alice
Now, everyone, we can catch up later!
[20:55] Alice
Come right this way!
[20:57] Townsman
That's right! Let's go!
[21:01] Ars
Wh-Where are they going?
[21:03] Alice
And you two, this way!
[21:07] Charlotte
What are they gonna do?
[21:15] Mireille
Oh, right, they haven't had one yet.
[21:19] Mireille
Let's join them.
[21:20] Mireille
Bet we'll get good booze.
[21:23] Rosell
Wh-What?
[21:24] Rietz
It is a perfect day for a celebration.
[21:34] Kreiz
Big Brother, this way!
[21:41] Ars
This is...
[21:44] Hammond
On my request.
[21:48] Hammond
It's your wedding.
[21:50] Hammond
You haven't had it yet,
with all the fervor of the war.
[21:54] Wren
Big Sister, look!
[22:07] Licia
Lord Ars...
[22:09] Ars
Y-You look wonderful, Licia...
[22:15] Licia
So do you, Lord Ars.
[22:19] Fishermen
Hey!
[22:26] Rengue
I came for the celebration too, Ars!
[22:42] Ars
Father...
[22:44] Ars
I faced a lot of hardships during this war.
[22:48] Ars
But...
[22:51] Ars
I can overcome any hardship
to see them smiling.
[22:56] Ars
As a warrior. As a lord.
[23:06] Ars
Licia, I'm going to do my best.
[23:09] Licia
And I'll be there to support you, Lord Ars!
