[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.

[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. [12:39] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [12:40] Raven     Call in Ars. [12:43] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [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. [17:49] sign     Year 212 of the Summerforth Calendar [17:55] Ars     Kreiz, Wren. Come here. [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! [19:12] Citizen Man C     We'll protect you in Lord Raven's stead! [19:16] Citizen Kid A     One, two... [19:17] Citizen Kids     Give it your best, Lord Ars! [19:23] Charlotte     Pops... [19:28] (Flashback) Soldier     Are you all right? [19:29] (Flashback) Charlotte     It's no big deal. I can keep going. [19:33] (Flashback) Raven     Rest, Charlotte.

[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.

[20:39] 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. [21:08] Ars     As of today, I am the master of House Louvent! [21:20] Ars     The legend of House Louvent begins now.

[21:41] Man B     What a cruel world. [21:46] Mireille     I'd love to hear more about that. [21:49] Mireille     And maybe you'll treat me     to a drink on the side?
