[00:00] ---
    Hiling, I may look to you like
    your son, Daida, but I am Bosse.
[00:07] ---
    Huh? Daida, what are you talking about?
[00:50] ---
    It's me.
[00:52] ---
    That... That would mean...
[00:55] ---
    If you're King Bosse, what about Daida?
    Where did Daida go?
[01:01] ---
    I don't know.
    Huh?
[01:07] ---
    Queen Hiling!
[01:20] ---
    Face dewy with tears and sweat
[01:25] ---
    With your own unique beauty
[01:29] ---
    Smile for me
[01:32] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone
[01:39] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[01:46] ---
    You melted into these almost listless days
[01:50] ---
    Energy faded like soda gone flat
[01:55] ---
    As a duckling you spread your wings
[01:59] ---
    And dream of flying as a swan
[02:04] ---
    If you have to wander,
    then enjoy it as much as you can
[02:08] ---
    Nothing fun about
    just taking shortcuts, right?
[02:13] ---
    You took your time, took the hard road
[02:15] ---
    But you couldn't get there
[02:18] ---
    You keep chasing the sunset
    as many times as it takes
[02:23] ---
    Now run far
[02:26] ---
    Your dirty shoes and footprints
    will head steadily into the future
[02:35] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone

    "Episode 9: The Queen and the Shield"
    Daida... Daida...
[02:56] ---
    Daida...
[03:03] ---
    Daida...
[03:04] ---
    Do not let Queen Hiling go out
    under any circumstances. Understood?
[03:32] ---
    King Bosse...
[03:34] ---
    Dorshe?
[03:37] ---
    Why was I removed as Spear of the King
[03:39] ---
    and assigned to be
    the new queen's bodyguard?
[03:42] ---
    Further, what exactly am
    I protecting her from here,
[03:45] ---
    in this peaceful kingdom throughout
    which your influence extends?
[03:51] ---
    King Bosse!
[03:52] ---
    Look, just stay
    with the queen for a while.
[03:56] ---
    Then, if you decide that
    the queen is not worth protecting,
[04:00] ---
    I will reconsider.
[04:07] ---
    I have lost the king's trust in me...
[04:14] ---
    My bodyguard? You?
[04:17] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[04:18] ---
    You're awfully large
    and ratty, aren't you? Hmph.
[04:24] ---
    Well, if that is what King Bosse
    has ordered, then that's that.
[04:29] ---
    But please don't stand too close to me.
[04:33] ---
    But as your bodyguard,
    I'm afraid I must insist.
[04:36] ---
    I am the queen!
    Did you not hear my order?!
[04:39] ---
    I-I am terribly sorry!
[04:47] ---
    Look over there.
[04:55] ---
    Is something the matter with Prince Bojji?
[04:57] ---
    You know what?
    I'm going to be that boy's mother.
[05:02] ---
    However, it has been fairly difficult.
    He seems to be wary of me.
[05:07] ---
    Which is why, if you're
    there standing behind me,
[05:10] ---
    I believe he'll be even more wary.
[05:18] ---
    Prince, have some cake.
[05:25] ---
    Just a minute!
[05:27] ---
    Prince! Cake!
[05:30] ---
    I have... cake!
[05:33] ---
    Prince... Cake...
[05:45] ---
    How can he run away from me so quickly?
[06:20] ---
    This is "How are you?"
[06:24] ---
    Like this?
[06:26] ---
    Yes, that was right.
[06:34] ---
    Prince, how are you?
[06:40] ---
    Prince!
[06:43] ---
    I didn't get through
    to him at all, did I?!
[06:45] ---
    I-I am awfully sorry.
[06:50] ---
    Oh, no. I probably need to practice more.
[06:54] ---
    I'm sorry. Would you teach me some more?
[06:57] ---
    Y-Yes, Your Majesty.
[06:59] ---
    She seems so awkward.
[07:03] ---
    Do you think that you have lost my trust?
[07:07] ---
    Huh?
[07:08] ---
    You are too soft. Someone
    who can suppress their emotions
[07:13] ---
    and carry out their duties
    with a level head, such as Apeas,
[07:15] ---
    is more fit to be at the king's side.
[07:17] ---
    Mm. So, is Hiling worth protecting?
[07:22] ---
    Such an awful question
    to ask about the queen.
[07:25] ---
    Well, Dorshe?
[07:27] ---
    It is not for me to decide...
[07:32] ---
    but yes.
[07:35] ---
    Is that not true of everyone?
[07:38] ---
    This is the right man for the task.
[07:40] ---
    Yes.
[07:46] ---
    When did this happen?!
[07:53] ---
    It's all right. This is
    the man who will protect us.
[08:02] ---
    Well, I guess you're just going
    to have to gradually grow on him.
[08:05] ---
    It's all right.
    Just let me take care of this.
[08:09] ---
    Okay, run!
[08:19] ---
    That's it, that's it!
[08:26] ---
    You see? He's following us.
[08:34] ---
    Queen Hiling...
[08:35] ---
    I must say, you aren't very quick.
    Are you sure you can protect me?
[08:47] ---
    Of course...
[08:49] ---
    I can protect you.
[09:42] ---
    Oh, no!
[09:56] ---
    Simply defending her
    isn't getting me anywhere.
[09:59] ---
    If that's how it's going to be...
[10:17] ---
    Come on!
[10:32] ---
    These creatures, which are both nimble
    and have superior offensive power,
[10:37] ---
    are said to be able to defeat
    even the great Gigantes in packs.
[10:51] ---
    "Witch's Enchantment."
[10:54] ---
    Those monsters can't compete
    with Dorshe's brute force.
[10:58] ---
    That being said, if he removes his armor,
[11:01] ---
    he will be fodder for
    their sharp claws and fangs.
[11:04] ---
    Dorshe will be unable to protect Hiling.
[11:40] ---
    Monsters have been set loose to go
    after Hiling. I allowed it to happen.
[11:46] ---
    Hiling or myself... which
    side will you choose?
[11:51] ---
    First he orders me
    to protect her, but now...
[11:55] ---
    King Bosse, what are you thinking?
[12:30] ---
    Not yet... Don't let
    your guard down yet...
[12:41] ---
    It can't be!
[12:42] ---
    What is it?
[12:43] ---
    I'm not sensing the monsters anymore.
    The assassination has failed.
[12:48] ---
    I see.
[13:04] ---
    Miranjo, why don't we enjoy this moment?
[13:08] ---
    King Bosse...
[13:27] ---
    Ah, King Bosse, I am very happy right now.
[13:31] ---
    At last... At last...
[13:45] ---
    I can't keep my magic up anymore...
    I'm powerless...
[13:53] ---
    That isn't true.
[13:55] ---
    King Bosse, I'm going
    to go to the underworld now
[13:59] ---
    to gather more monsters.
    Excuse me for a bit.
[14:03] ---
    Miranjo, what is it that drives you so?
[14:08] ---
    Well...
[14:10] ---
    Forgive me.
[14:12] ---
    I want to make what you desire come true.
[14:18] ---
    I'm such a graceless person.
[14:21] ---
    As am I. So twisted...
[14:24] ---
    and ugly.
[14:26] ---
    No. Miranjo, you are pure
    and most beautiful.
[14:39] ---
    It's all right. It's all right.
    I'm right here.
[14:46] ---
    Am I dead?
[14:49] ---
    No, of course you're not dead.
[14:51] ---
    Not while I'm here.
[14:54] ---
    I-I am terribly sorry! I promise,
    I will repay this kindness!
[14:58] ---
    It's all right.
    You protected me, didn't you?
[15:03] ---
    All done.
[15:04] ---
    Thanks.
[15:11] ---
    I'm going to fight, too...
    against King Bosse.
[15:16] ---
    I'm going to get Daida back!
[15:24] ---
    It's no use.
[15:26] ---
    I walk... and I walk...
[15:30] ---
    but I can't get out.
[15:42] ---
    Will I be trapped inside this prison
    of darkness for the rest of my life?
[15:47] ---
    No... No... No...!
[15:55] ---
    Once again, to the underworld!
    I'll bring the mighty under my control,
[16:00] ---
    and start a new era
    together with King Bosse!
[16:14] ---
    Queen Hiling, please wait!
[16:16] ---
    We can't say for certain that King Bosse
    is the one who targeted you!
[16:20] ---
    Queen Hiling!
[16:22] ---
    I'm certain he's involved in this somehow.
[16:25] ---
    I'm going to go and ask him to his face!
[16:35] ---
    Queen Hiling...
[16:38] ---
    King Bosse, what is your objective?
[16:42] ---
    A trivial matter.
[16:43] ---
    A trivial matter?
    What exactly might that be?
[16:47] ---
    What would make you go
    so far as to possess Daida?
[16:50] ---
    Our own son, Daida!
[16:53] ---
    Yes, you're quite right about that.
[16:56] ---
    How can you be so calm about this?!
[16:59] ---
    It's as though you're not even involved!
[17:03] ---
    You died! Give me back Daida!
    Right this instant!
[17:11] ---
    There's still time. Please...
    Please show me you have some pride!
[17:16] ---
    As the king... no, even worse,
    as a father, have you no shame?
[17:23] ---
    King Bosse!
[17:25] ---
    Where is Daida?! Answer me!
    A voice! I hear a voice...
[17:28] ---
    The voice of...
[17:31] ---
    Mother! Mother!
[17:36] ---
    What is it?
[17:39] ---
    Just now, I'm sure I heard...
[17:43] ---
    Mother!
[17:45] ---
    Daida!
[17:46] ---
    Huh?
[17:47] ---
    Where are you? Where are you, Daida?!
[17:50] ---
    Daida!
    Mother!
[17:52] ---
    Daida! Daida!
[17:54] ---
    Mother!
[17:56] ---
    Daida!
[18:19] ---
    Mother! Mother!
[18:24] ---
    Mother!
[18:31] ---
    Daida! That's where you are!
[18:38] ---
    Daida! Daida! I'm right here!
[18:41] ---
    Ah, Mother!
[18:44] ---
    You're safe, aren't you, Daida?
    It's all right.
[18:47] ---
    Your mother will rescue you,
    no matter what it takes.
[18:51] ---
    Dorshe, Daida is right here!
    He's calling for help!
[18:56] ---
    Dorshe, go save Daida!
[18:59] ---
    What are you waiting for?!
    He's right here!
[19:02] ---
    Can't you hear his voice?!
[19:05] ---
    Queen Hiling, I can't hear a thing.
[19:15] ---
    Wah! Queen Hiling!
[19:21] ---
    Why did you stop me?!
    Daida is right there!
[19:25] ---
    But that is also King Daida's body!
[19:36] ---
    Dorshe!
[19:39] ---
    I am awfully sorry
    about this, Queen Hiling.
[19:42] ---
    Dorshe, I don't think there will be
    any attacks on Hiling for a while...
[19:47] ---
    but I'm certain
    she'll be killed by the next one.
[19:51] ---
    If you don't want her to die,
    get out of the country. And then...
[19:55] ---
    bide your time.
[19:57] ---
    What will happen if we wait?
[20:06] ---
    I am only going with the flow myself.
[20:10] ---
    Go on!
    Yes, sire.
[20:17] ---
    I can't hear anything anymore.
[20:21] ---
    It can't be... It can't be...
[20:23] ---
    No! No! No!
[20:28] ---
    No!
[20:38] ---
    Help me... Help me...!
[20:46] ---
    It's her! This is all her doing!
    I swear I'll make her pay!
[20:51] ---
    I'll kill you! I'll kill you,
[20:53] ---
    Mirror!
[20:56] ---
    But how am I going to get out of here?
[21:03] ---
    I can't see anything.
    I can't hear anything.
[21:06] ---
    I'm fighting this deluge of anxiety
    that keeps coming at me.
[21:14] ---
    Could this be what it's
    like in Brother's world?
