[00:09] KYLE/ID
He really is strong.
[00:11] KYLE/ID
Zentos Ordi isn't captain of the
second battalion for nothing.
[02:01] KYLE/ID
His physical abilities are
simply better than mine.
[02:21] ZENTOS
That kick was hardly chivalrous.
[02:23] KYLE
It's what my master taught me.
[02:29] KYLE
Seriously?
[02:44] ZENTOS
That's a fine blade.
[02:45] KYLE
Thanks.
[02:48] KYLE
Say, let me ask again. Will you surrender?
[02:52] KYLE
I don't want you to die.
[02:55] ZENTOS
If you're so desperate to save me,
I wish you'd let me kill you.
[03:00] KYLE
You're asking a little much.
[03:03] ZENTOS/ID
I can't let this drag on any longer.
[03:06] ZENTOS/ID
I have to make a play to finish things.
[03:13] KYLE/ID
Here he comes!
[03:18] ZENTOS
With my next attack, I'll kill you
and go after the princess.
[03:21] ZENTOS
I would ask your name first.
[03:24] KYLE
It's Kyle. Kyle Leonard.
[03:28] KYLE
I hope you'll remember it.
[03:32] ZENTOS
Indeed I shall...
[03:34] ZENTOS
Kyle Leonard!
[04:06] (Flashback) ZENTOS
Until now, I've wielded my sword
for my kingdom and the royal family.
[04:13] (Flashback) ZENTOS
That was my rightful role,
and I was proud to fulfill it.
[04:17] (Flashback) KYLE
Everything for the kingdom, huh?
[04:20] (Flashback) KYLE
Honestly, I didn't have a very
favorable impression of Zirgus's king.
[04:26] (Flashback) ZENTOS
Nevertheless, the nation
I swore my life to is gone.
[04:31] (Flashback) ZENTOS
Now I wield my sword for myself.
[04:35] (Flashback) KYLE
Is that hard for you?
[04:37] (Flashback) ZENTOS
No.
[04:39] (Flashback) ZENTOS
I feel as if I've been liberated.
[05:02] ZENTOS
Did you deliberately allow me
to deflect your blade?
[05:07] KYLE
No, that was for real.
[05:10] KYLE
You warded me off at my full strength.
[05:13] KYLE
But I did know you'd deflect the blow
and go for the kill.
[05:21] KYLE
Because that's the Zentos Ordi
I know and trust.
[05:30] ZENTOS
You're a strange man.
[05:35] ZENTOS
Forgive me...
[05:44] KYLE
I'm sorry.
[05:46] KYLE
There are things I want to protect,
no matter what it takes.
[05:54] KYLE
You were one of them, Zentos.
[06:07] KYLE
Farewell, my brother in arms.
[06:18] CARENAS
What's going on? What could be happening?!
[06:22] CARENAS
Zentos! You're late!
[06:23] CARENAS
What are you—
[06:24] KILREN
Excuse us, Your Highness.
[06:26] KILREN
Search every nook and cranny!
[06:28] KNIGHTS
Ma'am!
[06:29] CARENAS
Wh-Who are you?!
[06:31] CARENAS
On whose authority—
[06:32] MILENA
How do you do, brother?
[06:39] MILENA
Kilren, seize Prince Carenas
and interrogate him.
[06:43] MILENA
If need be, you may use force.
[06:46] KILREN
At once.
[06:49] CARENAS
Unhand me!
[06:50] CARENAS
Who do you think I am?!
[06:52] CARENAS
I am the eldest son of King Remonas—
[06:59] MILENA
I owe you all my deepest gratitude.
[07:03] KYLE
No, thank you for trusting us.
[07:08] THERON
Guess this settles your little family feud.
[07:11] MILENA
Yes, this will be the end of it.
[07:14] MILENA
Allow me to thank you formally
at the royal capital.
[07:27] LIESE
Castles are incredible!
[07:29] URZA
To be honest, I feel ill at ease here.
[07:37] SILDONIA
Delicious! This is truly delicious!
[07:40] THERON
Hey, missy. Let's get tea sometime.
[07:42] SILDONIA
More!
[07:43] KYLE
Sorry they all lack restraint.
[07:46] MILENA
You needn't be so tense.
[07:51] REMONAS
Milena!
[07:52] MILENA
Father!
[07:55] REMONAS
You're all right.
[07:56] MILENA
Yes. I apologize for worrying you.
[08:00] LIESE
Wait, if that's the princess's dad, then...
[08:04] URZA
He's the king!
[08:10] REMONAS
Milena, you're quite certain in your report?
[08:13] MILENA
Yes.
[08:14] MILENA
These are the people who rescued me.
[08:18] REMONAS
That's all right. This isn't a public display.
[08:22] REMONAS
I stand here to thank you
not as king, but as a father.
[08:27] KYLE
You're too kind.
[08:29] REMONAS
It's a shame about Carenas,
but why was Zentos helping him?
[08:37] MILENA
It could be the meddling of another nation,
or perhaps demons were involved.
[08:42] MILENA
We should investigate discreetly.
[08:45] REMONAS
I'm sure you were listening,
but you must tell no one of this.
[08:50] REMONAS
Is that understood?
[08:51] KYLE
Of course.
[08:53] KYLE
We'd never tell anyone anything
that would harm the kingdom of Zirgus.
[08:58] LIESE
Yeah!
[09:00] MILENA
We can trust these people.
[09:03] REMONAS
I see. If you say so, then I believe it.
[09:07] REMONAS
You have my word you'll be rewarded
appropriately for your deeds.
[09:17] SILDONIA/NA
The citizenry was immediately
informed of the incident.
[09:25] SILDONIA/NA
Princess Milena and Prince Carenas
were attacked by a horde of monsters
[09:30] SILDONIA/NA
while on their way to Sanes Village.
[09:32] SILDONIA/NA
Over half of the second battalion fell
in the attack, including Captain Zentos.
[09:39] SILDONIA/NA
Furthermore, Prince Carenas was badly wounded
and sent to Kourtim to recuperate.
[09:46] SILDONIA/NA
That was the official story.
Only a handful knew the truth.
[10:12] REMONAS
Kyle Leonard and companions,
[10:15] REMONAS
you most nobly rescued
Princess Milena from grave danger.
[10:20] REMONAS
For this great feat, I grant
you the Saint Randenaire Medal.
[10:26] KYLE
I humbly accept.
[10:35] NOBLES
Marvelous!
[10:38] NOBLES
He's a hero!
[10:40] NOBLES
A hero is born!
[10:43] SILDONIA/NA
"Hope of humanity."
[10:45] SILDONIA/NA
"Master of sword and magic."
[10:47] SILDONIA/NA
"The lecherous hero."
[10:49] SILDONIA/NA
This was the moment a great hero
who would come to be known
[10:54] SILDONIA/NA
by many names first made
his appearance in history.
[10:59] SILDONIA/NA
This is where Kyle the hero's new saga begins.
[11:18] REMONAS
Carenas and Zentos were both utterly useless.
[11:24] REMONAS
When I someday relinquish the throne,
Milena will be crowned queen.
[11:29] REMONAS
As extraordinary as she is,
she'll build a better Zirgus,
[11:33] REMONAS
leaving me to be remembered
not as king... but as her father!
[11:39] REMONAS
I will be second to her!
[11:42] REMONAS
I have to hurry! I have to come up
with a new plan soon!
[11:47] KYLE
Good evening, King Remonas.
[11:50] REMONAS
Wh-Who are you?
[11:53] REMONAS
How did you get in?!
[12:00] KYLE
During the Great Invasion,
I made a suggestion to you.
[12:04] KYLE
I asked you to aid the dwarves
in the next kingdom over.
[12:09] KYLE
However, wanting to have the upper hand
in diplomatic relations,
[12:13] KYLE
you insisted you'd only help
once they were in danger
[12:17] KYLE
and withheld aid until then.
[12:20] KYLE
The dwarves were destroyed as a result.
[12:23] KYLE
It was a defeat with lasting impact,
spelling Zirgus's downfall.
[12:30] KYLE
Of course, I wasn't going to hold something
you hadn't done yet against you.
[12:36] KYLE
But now...
[12:38] (Flashback) ZENTOS
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
[12:44] REMONAS
W-Wait.
[12:46] KYLE
Now that I think about it, it's simple.
[12:49] KYLE
The only one who could send
Zentos to kill the princess...
[12:55] KYLE
was you, Your Majesty.
[12:57] REMONAS
What of it?
[12:59] REMONAS
If he had succeeded, there'd be no problem!
[13:02] KYLE
If only he could've chosen
the nation he served...
[13:07] REMONAS
S-Stay back!
[13:11] KYLE
That princess is a bit of a schemer,
but she's smart.
[13:14] KYLE
She's far better than the likes of you,
only concerned with self-preservation.
[13:23] KYLE
Goodbye, Your Majesty.
[13:32] GUARD A
Wh-What was that?
[13:35] GUARD B
There's someone on the ground!
[13:37] GUARD A
Y-Your Majesty!
[13:39] GUARD A
Call for help! And fast! Hurry!
[13:41] GUARD B
Got it!
[13:43] SILDONIA/NA
King Remonas fell to his death.
[13:46] SILDONIA/NA
It was thought that he drunkenly
slipped from the balcony,
[13:51] SILDONIA/NA
but so as not to tarnish his image,
[13:53] SILDONIA/NA
the people were told he suffered
a sudden heart malady.
[13:56] LIESE
I can't believe the king is dead.
[14:00] URZA
Right after our award ceremony, no less.
[14:03] URZA
He seemed in good health to me.
[14:05] THERON
If he'd died a day sooner,
we would've had to wait for the medal.
[14:11] THERON
I hate to say it,
but I'm grateful he held out.
[14:14] THERON
But Princess Milena will be crowned soon,
so there's nothing to worry about.
[14:22] KYLE
You're engaged?
[14:24] MILENA
Yes. Apparently I have a fiancé.
[14:28] MILENA
I'm engaged to Third Prince Maiser
Leng Gargan of the Gargan Empire.
[14:34] KYLE
The Gargan Empire?
[14:36] MILENA
Zirgus once quarreled with the Gargan Empire
for control over the territory of Karan.
[14:43] MILENA
Ultimately, Karan went to Zirgus,
but in exchange,
[14:48] MILENA
I was secretly promised to Prince Maiser.
[14:52] KYLE
So this is a strategic marriage to effectively
force an alliance between the nations.
[15:01] MILENA
However, I'm thinking of formally
turning down the engagement.
[15:07] KYLE
But then what will happen to Karan?
[15:11] MILENA
Karan will remain a vassal
city-state of Zirgus.
[15:19] MILENA
Ostensibly, the engagement
and Karan are unrelated.
[15:24] MILENA
No official documents were
exchanged regarding the proposal.
[15:28] MILENA
I can simply say the situation has changed.
[15:32] MILENA
I'd like you to inform Karan's governor
that the engagement is being called off
[15:38] MILENA
and obtain his approval.
[15:50] SILDONIA
What is it? Something on your mind?
[15:53] KYLE
Yeah. I don't know how
the Gargan Empire will respond.
[15:57] KYLE
It's hard to come up with a plan.
[15:59] SILDONIA
Well, this is just speculation,
[16:02] SILDONIA
but it's possible Karan is experiencing
problems other than with the empire.
[16:09] KYLE
What do you mean?
[16:10] SILDONIA
The king of their neighboring
suzerain nation died,
[16:13] SILDONIA
but the governor of the vassal city-state
didn't bother to show.
[16:18] SILDONIA
Don't you find that odd?
[16:20] KYLE
You're right.
[16:22] SILDONIA
I'd say the princess's silence
on the matter proves it.
[16:27] SILDONIA
Something's afoot in Karan,
and she's hoping you'll look into it.
[16:32] SILDONIA
Maybe even resolve it.
[16:36] KYLE
So she's testing us.
[16:39] SILDONIA
Does that displease you?
[16:41] KYLE
Not at all.
[16:43] KYLE
I get to meet the governor of Karan.
This is a good opportunity.
[16:48] KYLE/ID
I also want to keep as much distance
between me and the princess as possible.
[16:55] SILDONIA
Well, just take it as meaning
she has high hopes for you.
[16:59] KYLE
Yeah, you're right.
[17:06] (Flashback) MILENA
You must think me cold, Sir Kyle.
[17:10] (Flashback) KYLE
Huh?
[17:11] (Flashback) MILENA
To be so unaffected
in spite of just losing my father.
[17:17] (Flashback) KYLE
I don't think that.
[17:18] (Flashback) MILENA
Naturally, I am sad.
[17:22] (Flashback) MILENA
My father was equally kind to both
of his children, and I loved him.
[17:29] (Flashback) MILENA
But I fear my father did not reciprocate.
[17:34] (Flashback) KYLE
Princess Milena...
[17:36] (Flashback) MILENA
Anyway, Sir Kyle,
[17:39] (Flashback) MILENA
would you like to join the royal guard?
[17:43] (Flashback) MILENA
I'd like you to serve me
formally as my knight.
[17:49] (Flashback) KYLE
I-Is that because you want
to keep an eye on me?
[17:54] (Flashback) MILENA
It's because I want you at my side.
[17:59] (Flashback) KYLE
Th-There's something I have to do.
[18:03] (Flashback) KYLE
But if anything happens to you,
I'll come running.
[18:09] (Flashback) MILENA
I'm only joking.
[18:10] (Flashback) MILENA
But I'm glad I got to see you flustered.
[18:15] (Flashback) MILENA
Take care on your travels.
[18:18] (Flashback) KYLE
Huh?
[18:20] KYLE/ID
She was messing with me?!
[18:23] LIESE
What's that about?
[18:24] THERON
He's always been weird.
[18:29] NINOS
Princess Milena.
[18:30] MILENA
Oh, Ninos.
[18:32] NINOS
Have you wrapped the hero around your finger?
[18:36] MILENA
You make me sound so wicked.
[18:40] MILENA
I'm sure such tactics may be
necessary down the road.
[18:44] MILENA
But regardless, I believe we should
keep Sir Kyle on our side.
[18:50] NINOS
I'm opposed to the idea.
[18:52] NINOS
We know nothing about him.
[18:55] MILENA
Ninos, I hope you'll continue to assist me.
[18:58] NINOS
Yes, of course.
[19:04] MILENA
From now on, I'll be in control of Zirgus.
[19:09] MILENA
I must do my best.
[19:21] KYLE
Thanks for waiting.
[19:22] THERON
Hey.
[19:23] FESBA
Belated though it may be,
congratulations on your medal.
[19:28] KYLE
Thanks. Not many people are
talking about it, though.
[19:32] FESBA
I'm sure you'll accomplish
even more before long.
[19:37] THERON
So, where's my sword?
[19:40] FESBA
Right here.
[19:42] FESBA
The craftsman who repaired it said
it looked as if it had seen years of use.
[19:49] THERON
Maybe I was a little rough with it.
[19:52] THERON
This sword isn't bad,
but do you have anything better?
[19:56] FESBA
I'm terribly sorry.
[19:58] FESBA
That is the highest quality
blade we offer at our shop.
[20:04] THERON
I see. Then I guess I'll manage
with this for the time being.
[20:08] FESBA
Thank you.
[20:10] FESBA
I can't promise anything, but we'll try to use
our connections to find you a worthy blade.
[20:18] THERON
I'll try not to get my hopes up.
[20:20] KYLE
We're on our way to Karan.
[20:23] KYLE
Do you know anything about it?
[20:25] FESBA
You're going to Karan?
[20:28] FESBA
It is a challenging place.
[20:31] FESBA
It's effectively run
by the blacksmith's guild.
[20:34] FESBA
Their leader practically owns the city.
[20:38] FESBA
How should I put this? They've...
caused quite a few problems.
[20:44] FESBA
It's made trade with them difficult.
[20:46] FESBA
But now that they're a vassal city-state,
we've had much more interaction.
[20:53] KYLE
I see.
[20:54] KYLE
Thanks.
[20:56] KYLE
I'm sure we'll be back, so see you then.
[20:59] FESBA
I look forward to it.
[21:01] FESBA
Also, given Karan's long history and culture,
their armaments are highly regarded.
[21:08] FESBA
You may be able to find a worthy blade there.
[21:15] THERON
The first thing I usually do
in a new town is look for cute girls,
[21:20] THERON
but maybe I'll switch things up
and look for a sword.
[21:24] THERON
But are you sure you don't mind
me finding a sword elsewhere?
[21:29] FESBA
We'll find another way
to make money off of you.
[21:34] FESBA
I pray you'll have good luck in Karan.
[21:38] KYLE
Thanks.
[21:44] LIESE
Karan's a mining town, right?
[21:47] THERON
I hope there are lots of cute girls.
[21:50] URZA
I doubt they'll pay you any mind.
[21:52] THERON
Hey!
[21:54] THERON
That's not true!
[21:56] THERON
Just the other day, I got some attention.
[21:58] LIESE
Yeah? In what town?
[23:34] SIGN
Next Time
[23:34] SIGN
To the Blacksmith's Nation
[23:35] NA
Next time: "To the Blacksmith's Nation."
