[00:00] Alice
    The Imperial army is...
[00:01] Alice
    Attacking the royal palace...?
[00:03] Millavair
    We were caught off guard. I've
    yet to fully grasp the situation.
[00:07] Millavair
    All I know for sure is that
    the palace is under fire.
[00:13] Alice
    Rin! Quickly get the car ready!
[00:17] Rin
    Of course!
[00:18] Millavair
    If they are the Imperial army,
    how did they cross the border?
[00:23] Alice
    Mother, I'm heading back
    to the palace immediately.
[00:26] Alice
    Please be safe!
[00:28] Millavair
    I have no other intentions.
[00:30] Alice
    And at a time like this...
    I'll be there soon, Mother!
[00:37] Alice
    Could it be that the reason the Imperial
    army knew of my absence was because...
[00:42] Iska
    What's going on? You seem to be in such a hurry.
[00:47] Alice
    Was it you?
[00:48] Alice
    Did you secretly send in the Imperial army?
[00:52] Iska
    Alice?
[00:53] Alice
    I'm heading back to the palace right now.
[00:56] Iska
    What?
[00:57] Alice
    Promise me one thing.
[00:58] Alice
    I want to believe you had
    nothing to do with this.
[01:01] Alice
    So I want you to stay and wait here.
[01:04] Alice
    Not one step outside this palace!
[01:08] Iska
    Alice, what's going on?
[01:11] Alice
    Don't go outside!
[01:13] Alice
    I won't forgive you if you show any inclination
    that you're working with the Imperial Army!
[01:16] Iska
    What does that mean? What happened?!
[01:20] Alice
    Promise me.
[02:55] Salinger
    How boring. A coup, plotting
    to assassinate the queen?
SIGN    Line of Descent: Beginning of the End of Paradise
[03:01] Salinger
    Hydra's handiwork, yet again.
[03:03] Ornake
    I never thought you would help Millavair!
[03:07] Salinger
    Only I get to call the queen by her name.
[03:11] Salinger
    Everything's the same as 30 years ago, huh?
[03:15] Millavair
    Salinger! You... Did you attack the queen?!
[03:22] Millavair
    I trusted you! I never thought you'd
    be the type to do such a thing!
[03:29] Salinger
    Milla... No, Queen Millavair...
[03:33] Salinger
    You're the queen of this nation.
[03:35] Salinger
    Defend the ideals you hold dear
    to your heart with your life.
[03:50] Mei
    Wow, this is pretty solid stuff, Names.
[03:55] Mei
    You're 65 seconds late to be in position.
[03:58] Nameless
    They're heat resistant.
    An attack like this won't do much.
[04:03] Nameless
    Which is why I used incendiary bombs.
[04:06] Nameless
    Hence the 65 seconds.
[04:10] Mei
    I guess.
[04:12] Mei
    By the way, where's Johaim?
[04:14] Risya
    He's already on his way to the queen's palace.
[04:19] Nameless
    The queen's palace will be full of monsters.
[04:23] Nameless
    Don't mess up.
[04:25] Mei
    You think I'll have my guard down? Think again!
[04:28] Mei
    I'm gonna give it my all in this witch hunt.
[04:30] Mei
    Let's see what kind of monsters these
    descendants of the Founder are.
[04:38] Sisbell
    The Imperial army? It can't be...
[04:43] Mismis
    H-Hold on! I don't believe this!
[04:46] Nene
    Me either!
[04:47] Mismis
    We didn't know anything. W-We swear...
[04:51] Sisbell
    Yes, I have been watching you the whole time.
[04:56] Sisbell
    Please remember what my
    sister Elletear had said.
[05:00] Elletear
    Don't worry, if you stay put,
    your servant will come back.
[05:04] Jhin
    In other words, she wants us to look the
    other way when the palace is being invaded.
[05:08] Sisbell
    Elletear!
[05:10] Sisbell
    I... I do not know where your heart lies!
[05:15] Sisbell
    Are you trying to betray your motherland?!
[05:18] Sisbell
    Huh?
[05:19] Jhin
    Get down.
[05:20] Sisbell
    W-What are you doing?!
[05:22] Jhin
    Stay away from the window!
[05:24] Nene
    I heard an electronic sound with the gunfire.
[05:27] Nene
    Assault rifle TH, Type 87, I think.
    That's an Imperial gun.
[05:33] Iska
    This palace is also under attack.
    It's not just the royal palace.
[05:37] Sisbell
    T-This can't be true!
[05:40] Jhin
    Stop yapping and be quiet.
[05:42] Jhin
    Boss.
[05:43] Mismis
    Yup!
[05:44] Jhin
    Iska.
[05:45] Iska
    Got it!
[05:48] Iska
    Wait! We're from the Imperial army, too!
[05:51] Jhin
    Move, Iska! They aren't Imperial soldiers.
[05:56] Sisbell
    No mercy, not even for your
    fellow soldiers, I see.
[05:59] Jhin
    I told you, they're not Imperial soldiers.
[06:02] Jhin
    Assault rifle TH, Type 87 is standard
    issue for Imperial soldiers,
[06:08] Jhin
    but the center of gravity is actually at
    the muzzle, making it tricky to shoot.
[06:12] Jhin
    These guys didn't know that. One look
    at the stance and it's clear as day.
[06:16] Nene
    Iska! Jhin! Look at this!
[06:20] Nene
    He has an astral crest on his cheek!
[06:22] Jhin
    That confirms it.
[06:24] Jhin
    These guys aren't Imperial soldiers.
    They're astral mages from your nation.
[06:30] Jhin
    Recognize any of them?
[06:32] Sisbell
    No, I don't...
[06:34] Iska
    So the real Imperial army attacks the
    royal palace, and a fake one attacks here?
[06:39] Iska
    What's going on?
[06:40] Mismis
    Everyone, gunshots from downstairs!
    They're already inside this palace!
[06:45] Iska
    Sisbell, where are the maids?!
[06:48] Sisbell
    Their rooms are in the back,
    so they should be safe for a while!
[06:51] Iska
    Then let's push through to the
    front door while we still can!
[06:55] All
    Right!
[06:56] Jhin
    If they open fire from a distance,
    I'll take care of them.
[07:00] Jhin
    Iska will handle all mid-ranged astral arts.
[07:02] Iska
    Roger that!
[07:03] Iska
    Whoever it may be, I'll cut them down!
[07:25] Talisman
    Hello, Lady Sisbell.
    I'm glad you made it out safely.
[07:29] Talisman
    I'm Hydra's family head, Talisman.
[07:32] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman?! Why are you here?
[07:35] Talisman
    You're safe now.
[07:37] Talisman
    The royal palace is in great danger,
    but I will keep you safe.
[07:43] Sisbell
    You're talking about the
    attack by the Imperial army.
[07:45] Talisman
    Yes. The Empire's goal is to take
    down the queen and her entourage.
[07:50] Talisman
    In fact, the queen said
    you're also in danger.
[07:54] Sisbell
    The queen said that?
[07:55] Talisman
    We must hurry. Please get in my car
    before more Imperial soldiers arrive.
[08:07] Jhin
    I have two questions for you.
[08:09] Jhin
    If you really are Hydra's family head,
[08:11] Jhin
    how do you explain Vichyssoise's attack on us?
[08:15] Talisman
    Already explained in the
    inquisition with the queen.
[08:20] Talisman
    I have no way of knowing
    why she did what she did.
[08:23] Talisman
    I also find the witness's accounts of
    her transformation hard to believe.
[08:27] Jhin
    Fine. One more question, then.
[08:31] Talisman
    We do need to hurry, but I shall answer
    any questions to prove my innocence.
[08:37] Jhin
    Idiot. Two people are behind the coup.
[08:41] Jhin
    That'd be you and Elletear.
[08:44] Sisbell
    What?! H-Hold on, what are you saying, Jhin?!
[08:47] Jhin
    The real Imperial army is attacking
    the royal palace right now.
[08:51] Jhin
    If that's the case, why would
    this palace be under attack
[08:54] Jhin
    by a fake Imperial army
    of disguised astral mages?
[08:57] Jhin
    Coup's a coup, but with Vichyssoise,
    it was done extremely openly.
[09:03] Jhin
    So why bother disguising themselves
    as the Imperial soldiers this time?
[09:07] Jhin
    Answer's simple. Under the
    current circumstances,
[09:11] Jhin
    everyone would assume the
    Imperial army kidnapped Sisbell.
[09:14] Jhin
    If that's not enough, the only one
    who'd target Sisbell relentlessly
[09:18] Jhin
    has to be the mastermind behind
    the queen's assassination.
[09:22] Jhin
    After all, if she returns to the royal palace,
    she can find out who did it.
[09:26] Talisman
    Hold on. Our family is not the most
    opposed to the current regime.
[09:33] Jhin
    So you wanna say it's the Zoas?
    I don't think so.
[09:35] Jhin
    The Masked Lord had nothing
    to do with this mess.
[09:38] Talisman
    How can you be so sure?
[09:40] Jhin
    Because we fought him in Alsamira.
[09:44] Jhin
    Apparently, Zoa's a radical faction
    just itching to destroy the Empire.
[09:49] Jhin
    If so, there's no way he'd work
    with the Empire to stage a coup.
[09:53] Talisman
    This is all just your imagination.
[09:56] Talisman
    What if that was all just an act?
[10:00] Jhin
    If he's working with the Empire,
    he could've bribed us in Alsamira,
[10:05] Jhin
    and just taken care
    of Sisbell then and there.
[10:09] Jhin
    Zoa's innocent as far as this coup goes.
[10:12] Jhin
    That just leaves us with one descendant.
[10:16] Jhin
    The Hydra family is the one behind the coup.
[10:20] Talisman
    Such beautiful logic.
[10:22] Talisman
    I see, so you've met the Masked Lord.
[10:26] Talisman
    Well, no matter. I shall
    simply keep carrying on.
[10:30] Talisman
    The only thing that'll remain will be the
    Empire's gunpowder and bullet holes.
[10:34] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman?! So you
    really are the mastermind?!
[10:37] Talisman
    All of this is necessary.
[10:40] Talisman
    We need the Empire's help to
    reach the core of this planet.
[10:45] Talisman
    Let's work together, Lady Sisbell.
[10:47] Talisman
    Your astral spirit has the power to
    unlock the mysteries of this planet.
[10:54] Sisbell
    What are you talking about?!
[10:56] Talisman
    However, your bodyguards will not be so lucky.
[10:59] Talisman
    Having too many players in this
    game would be a turnoff, after all.
[11:03] Talisman
    I must ask for them to leave.
[11:08] Jhin
    What's the big surprise?
    These are the bombs you prepared.
[11:14] Jhin
    We're used to handling Imperial weapons.
[11:17] Iska
    Sisbell, run!
[11:20] Sisbell
    Please be careful!
[11:21] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman's astral art uses waves!
[11:27] Talisman
    Impressive. You dodged that.
[11:32] Iska
    You won't be able to blame
    the Empire after all this.
[11:36] Talisman
    No worries, I'll just burn everything
    down using Imperial explosives.
[11:41] Talisman
    Astral energy will dissipate soon enough,
[11:44] Talisman
    leaving nothing but the damage
    caused by the Imperial army.
[11:48] Talisman
    Secure Lady Sisbell.
[11:50] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[11:52] Talisman
    My, my. It isn't in my nature to
    engage in such a barbaric act...
[11:58] Iska
    I don't buy that.
[12:00] Talisman
    It's true. I dislike violence.
[12:05] Talisman
    However, "purification" is a different story.
[12:11] Talisman
    This is to purify this planet's spirit.
[12:17] Astral Power Forces
    Hurry!
[12:18] Astral Power Forces
    Put the fire out!
[12:19] Astral Power Forces
    We're under attack!
[12:24] Mei
    So this is the astral spirit's fortress?
[12:26] Mei
    So many mechanisms made with
    unknown materials and logic.
[12:30] Mei
    Looks like it's gonna be a pain
    to get to the queen's palace.
[12:34] Captain
    Miss Mei, the front door to
    the queen's palace is closed.
[12:39] Captain
    Our guns aren't working.
[12:41] Mei
    I know, Cappy.
[12:43] Mei
    That's why we're taking a detour.
[12:47] Mei
    Hm?
[12:48] Mei
    So that's how this is gonna go.
[12:52] Mei
    Disappearing objects? Must be space-time
    based if space itself disappeared.
[12:57] Mei
    Either way, it's vicious.
[13:00] Mei
    Nice to meet you, little miss.
[13:02] Kissing
    We've been expecting you,
    soldiers of the Empire.
[13:07] Kissing
    My name is Kissing Zoa Nebulis IX.
[13:12] Captain
    A-A purebred?!
[13:13] Imperial Soldier A
    They've finally appeared.
[13:16] Mei
    Well, it took you long enough.
[13:19] Kissing
    I was asleep.
[13:22] Mei
    Of course you were! Any child would
    be asleep this late at night.
[13:28] Kissing
    That's why you need to disappear.
[13:30] Kissing
    I haven't gotten enough sleep,
    so I must eliminate you.
[13:35] Masked Lord
    Look. The flames swelling above like
    a grand flower blooming in the night.
[13:42] Masked Lord
    A beautiful, yet cruel and fragile flower.
[13:46] Masked Lord
    Pity. I'm terribly disappointed.
[13:50] Risya
    Ah, because the Imperial soldiers
    who showed up are nobodies like us?
[13:56] Masked Lord
    I had planned for this crimson flower
    to bloom in the Empire,
[14:02] Masked Lord
    but you beat us to it.
    That's what is disappointing.
[14:07] Risya
    Aw, I guess we both think alike.
[14:12] Risya
    So, how do you want to do this?
[14:14] Risya
    It'd be easier to talk if
    we knew each other's names.
[14:17] Masked Lord
    Ah, apologies. My name is On.
[14:22] Masked Lord
    People call me the Masked Lord.
[14:24] Risya
    What a gentleman. I'm Risya.
[14:29] Masked Lord
    Yes, the Saint Disciple.
[14:31] Risya
    Oh, you already know.
[14:34] Masked Lord
    I have a message for you from our family head.
[14:39] Risya
    Yeah?
[14:41] Masked Lord
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[14:41] Growley
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[14:43] Masked Lord
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[14:43] Growley
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[14:49] Growley
    Forty years ago, my legs went bad.
[14:52] Growley
    When I realized my dream of fighting in
    the battlefield would never come true,
[14:57] Growley
    I was crushed by the greatest grief of my life.
[15:07] Growley
    So, thank you, for visiting our land, assassin.
[15:11] Growley
    Thank you for giving me the chance
    to destroy the Empire once again!
[15:22] Nameless
    Die, demon.
[15:25] Growley
    Your sin runs deep.
[15:29] Nameless
    What?
[15:30] Growley
    I'm Zoa's family head, Growley.
    Allow me to measure the depth of your sin.
[15:40] Sisbell
    There's an escape stairway!
    We can leave from here!
[15:44] Jhin
    A secret passage in case of emergency, huh?
[15:46] Sisbell
    Yes. I'll lead the way.
[15:56] Mismis
    Look, this is amazing, Nene.
    It's a literal loophole.
[15:59] Nene
    You don't see this kind of thing in the Empire.
[16:02] Jhin
    Stop being impressed and go in.
[16:06] Jhin
    Quit holding on so tight. It'll be
    hard for me to move when I need to.
[16:11] Sisbell
    W-What are you talking
    about?! I-I am not scared!
[16:16] Jhin
    Boss, Nene, how much ammo do you have left?
[16:19] Mismis
    Um, the battery for my taser is about half-full.
[16:23] Nene
    I have 12. I also picked up a grenade
    from those soldiers we just took down.
[16:27] Jhin
    So a war of attrition isn't an option.
[16:30] Jhin
    What?!
[16:31] Jhin
    Fall back!
[16:34] Jhin
    They even know about this secret passage!
[16:36] Sisbell
    But how?!
[16:37] Jhin
    Just keep running!
[16:39] Jhin
    An astral art of ice?
[16:41] Jhin
    Looks like they mean business.
[16:49] Sisbell
    This should buy us some time...
[16:52] Grugell
    Winter Scenery: the Great Snowy Ravine.
[16:57] Grugell
    Do you know the difference between snow and ice?
[17:01] Grugell
    If you don't, allow me to
    show you the world of snow.
[17:07] Grugell
    Nice to meet you, Lady Sisbell.
    I believe we've never met before.
[17:13] Sisbell
    W-Who are you?!
[17:15] Jhin
    The Midnight Sun Witch, Grugell.
[17:19] Grugell
    An Imperial soldier that knows me?
[17:22] Jhin
    I heard the whole troop from the Fifth
    Division were utterly crushed by you.
[17:27] Grugell
    Indeed.
[17:32] Grugell
    I rule the world of snow.
[17:35] Grugell
    In here, not even the descendants
    of the Founder can stop me.
[17:41] Alice
    Faster, Rin. Punch it to 300 mph.
[17:44] Rin
    That's absurd.
[17:46] Alice
    If the Imperial army is really invading,
    how much damage could they do?
[17:52] Rin
    Not much. At most, only a few dozen
    of them could have infiltrated us.
[17:57] Rin
    The only things that could've passed security
[17:59] Rin
    would've been handguns and
    disassembled assault rifles.
[18:03] Alice
    You're right.
[18:04] Rin
    However, even if the Sovereignty's
    damage may be small,
[18:07] Rin
    the same cannot be said for the royal family.
[18:10] Alice
    Even if none of our people get hurt,
[18:13] Alice
    if the queen falls, this nation will also fall.
[18:18] Rin
    How could this be?!
[18:20] Rin
    How many weapons was the Imperial
    army able to bring in?!
[18:26] Alice
    I can't believe it...
[18:29] Elletear
    Seems the Imperial army has
    crossed the Sovereignty's border.
[18:32] Talisman
    Everything is moving along.
    Now we just wait for the invasion.
[18:36] Talisman
    It must be at the hands of the
    Imperial army that we lose our queen.
[18:42] Elletear
    Yes.
[18:43] Talisman
    But your little sister,
    Alice, will be in our way.
[18:48] Elletear
    As far as strength goes,
    she's the most powerful of the Lou.
[18:52] Elletear
    If Alice focuses on protecting the queen,
[18:55] Elletear
    the Imperial army won't stand a chance.
[18:58] Talisman
    Then we must find a way to pull
    Lady Alice away from the queen.
[19:03] Elletear
    I'm thinking of going on a little getaway.
[19:07] Elletear
    To Lou's vacation house.
[19:09] Talisman
    For what purpose?
[19:12] Elletear
    If Sisbell returns to the palace,
    she'll know who exploded the queen's Hall.
[19:17] Elletear
    The house of Hydra will be exiled.
[19:19] Elletear
    I'll intercept Sisbell and take
    her to Lou's vacation house.
[19:24] Elletear
    Basically, a way to prevent her
    from returning to the palace.
[19:27] Talisman
    I see, and your self-indulgent action
    will force Lady Alice to come get you,
[19:32] Talisman
    following you to the vacation house,
    pulling her away from the queen.
[19:36] Elletear
    Exactly right! This way, only
    Lou VIII will be at the palace.
[19:42] Talisman
    Lure Lady Alice and Lady Sisbell
    to the vacation house,
[19:46] Talisman
    so the Imperial army can seize
    this chance to attack the queen.
[19:49] Talisman
    Very good. Two birds with one stone.
[19:52] Elletear
    Oh, come now! It's four birds with one stone.
[19:57] Elletear
    One move. That's all it'll take
    to bring down the current regime.
[20:02] Talisman
    That'll kick off the election
    for the next queen.
[20:06] Talisman
    I suppose you'll be running for Lou, Elletear?
[20:10] Elletear
    I've grown tired of this nation.
[20:13] Elletear
    I don't care what happens
    as long as it's destroyed.
[20:17] Elletear
    I shall leave the future to you.
[20:18] Talisman
    It'll be my pleasure. Allow me to take
    you to the Tower of Stars, at least.
[20:25] Talisman
    Captain Ornake.
[20:27] Ornake
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Elletear.
[20:30] Elletear
    Who is this?
[20:31] Talisman
    The captain of the intelligence corps
    that the house of Hydra had hired.
[20:35] Talisman
    A top-notch assassin.
[20:38] Elletear
    My, how dependable!
[20:39] Talisman
    Escort her with the utmost care.
[20:43] Ornake
    Of course.
[20:44] Elletear
    Well, then, I'll be on my way
    to my vacation, as planned.
[20:48] Talisman
    All right. Now we just wait for them.
[20:57] Elletear
    Alice, Sisbell, Mother...
[21:01] Elletear
    You've all been blessed with great astral spirits,
    recognized just for that.
[21:07] Elletear
    You'll never understand the feelings
    of someone who was born weak.
[21:13] Elletear
    You probably think that this nation
    will never fall as long as you're here.
[21:20] Elletear
    But you're largely mistaken.
[21:24] Elletear
    Your misfortune is that your
    astral spirits were too powerful.
[21:28] Elletear
    Nothing can be changed with that.
[21:31] Elletear
    Astral mages' paradise is
    nothing more than an illusion.
[21:36] Elletear
    Tonight, this palace will go down in flames.
[21:39] Elletear
    And I will be the witch of catastrophe
    that ignites those flames.
[21:45] Elletear
    That is what is necessary
    to aim for a true paradise.
[21:50] Millavair
    Keep the fire extinguishing to a minimum.
[21:52] Millavair
    Use the extra manpower to guard the tower.
[21:56] Millavair
    I'm counting on you.
[21:57] Soldiers
    Yes, my queen!
[22:02] Millavair
    This is just a ripple.
    My kingdom will not be shaken.
[22:06] Millavair
    This is a paradise for all astral mages.
[22:10] Millavair
    No one shall trample...
[22:11] Johaim
    "For all" astral mages? Is that really true?
[22:19] Johaim
    Queen Nebulis, I presume.
[22:25] Johaim
    I'm Johaim, the first seat
    of the Saint Disciples.
[22:30] Millavair
    You are?
[22:33] Johaim
    Do you wish to seek forgiveness?
[22:35] Millavair
    Silence, low-life. Who do you think I am?
[22:40] Millavair
    I am Queen Nebulis. As the leader
    of this nation, I will vanquish you.
[22:47] Johaim
    You speak of a dream, queen.
[22:50] Johaim
    This nation is no paradise.
[22:53] Johaim
    The dream of deception ends here,
    and a new world shall be reborn.
