[00:44] Ars
    I was told the enemy outnumbered
    the Canarre Army by 50%,
[00:49] Ars
    yet an incredible performance
    by Louvent's forces,
[00:52] Ars
    led by my father, allowed us
    to take the fortress in the end.
[00:59] Ars
    The campaign lasted over a month,
[01:01] Ars
    and my father returned four days
    after my twelfth birthday.

    Episode 7 Succession
[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.
[12:37] Raven
    Thank you.

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

[18:02] Ars
    Say goodbye to our father.
[18:17] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[18:21] Ars
    My father taught me many things.
[18:25] Ars
    He was an incredible man.
[18:28] Ars
    I spoke with him at length
    last night, before he passed on.
[18:34] Ars
    He entrusted Lamberg—all of you—to my care.
[18:43] Ars
    I'm not as strong as my father.
[18:46] Ars
    But...
[18:48] Ars
    Just as he did, I swear to care
    about you more than anyone,
[18:52] Ars
    and to protect you!
[18:55] Ars
    So please, lend me your aid!
[19:04] Citizen Man A
    You know we will!
[19:05] Citizen Man A
    I'd do anything for you, Lord Ars!
[19:08] Citizen Man B
    Yeah!
[19:09] Citizen Woman A
    You'll do just fine, Lord Ars!

[19:29] (Flashback) Charlotte
    It's no big deal. I can keep going.
[19:33] (Flashback) Raven
    Rest, Charlotte.
[19:37] (Flashback) Raven
    Save that desperate effort for
    when it's Ars on the battlefield.
[19:41] (Flashback) Charlotte
    You got it, Pops.
[19:51] Rosell
    Lord Raven...
[19:56] (Flashback) Raven
    Staying up this late to study?
[19:58] (Flashback) Rosell
    Oh, I, um...
[20:00] (Flashback) Rosell
    I was hoping to be of use to
    Lord Ars as soon as possible.
[20:09] (Flashback) Raven
    You're still just a child.
[20:11] (Flashback) Raven
    You have plenty of time to grow and mature.
[20:14] (Flashback) Raven
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[20:16] (Flashback) Raven
    Take your time growing up alongside Ars.
[20:24] Licia
    Lord Raven...
[20:27] (Flashback) Licia
    I should be going now.
[20:30] (Flashback) Raven
    Licia.
[20:31] (Flashback) Raven
    Remain close by Ars's side and support him.
[20:38] Licia
    Lord Raven...
[20:39] Licia
    Forgive me if this feeling
    is inappropriate,
[20:44] Licia
    but I'm delighted to be here right now!
[20:52] Ars
    Thank you, everyone.
[20:58] Ars
    Father, please watch over us all.

    As of today, I am the master of House Louvent!
[21:20] Ars

    of Missian was assassinated.
[21:36] Man B
    Yeah.
[21:37] Man B
    Killed by his own son during
    a succession dispute, right?
[21:41] Man B
    What a cruel world.
