Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
One hundred years ago, a grave tradition was born in a land where demons live among people: a human must be sacrificed to the King of Beasts. But when Sariphi, the 99th sacrifice, is offered to the King, she isn’t afraid at all! Intrigued by her calm and cute nature, the King decides to spare her life with plans to make her his bride.

[00:02] Narrator
At the ends of the earth,
blanketed by miasma,
[00:05] Narrator
lay a forbidden kingdom to which
no human was allowed entry.
[00:11] Narrator
It was home to monstrous vassals who
once dominated and devoured mankind.
[00:18] Narrator
And over them reigned a king.

Get in.
[03:08] Anubis
I have brought her, Your Majesty.
[03:11] Anubis
This girl is the latest offering.
[03:14] Anubis
The 99th sacrifice.
[03:23] Leonhart
Raise your head.
[03:32] Anubis
Dear me.
[03:35] Anubis
Of all the sacrifices the humans have sent,
this girl is easily the scrawniest.
[03:41] Anubis
Devouring the likes of her
will not nourish you, sire.
[03:46] Anubis
Perhaps you should simply tear her
apart as a display for the nobility,
[03:51] Anubis
and demand the next sacrifice
be delivered at onc—
[03:55] Sariphi
Excuse me.
[03:56] Sariphi
Don't you think you're
being a bit rude, Mr. Dog?
[03:59] Anubis
D-Dog?
[04:01] Anubis
Surely you do not mean me,
the great Anubis?!
[04:04] Sariphi
There's at least enough of me to eat.
[04:07] Sariphi
Don't be wasteful.
[04:09] Anubis
H-How dare you?!
[04:11] Sariphi
Bleh!
[04:12] Anubis
Still your tongue in His Majesty's presence!
[04:15] Sariphi
But you said—
[04:16] Anubis
Be silent!
[04:17] Anubis
M-My most humble apologies, sire.
[04:20] Anubis
This human knows not her place.
[04:21] Leonhart
No matter. Leave us, Anubis.
[04:25] Anubis
B-But, sire, she—
[04:32] Leonhart
You dare talk back to your king?
[04:35] Leonhart
When I tell you to leave, you obey.
[04:37] Anubis
P-Please forgive me. By your leave.
[04:44] Sariphi
What a short-tempered king.
[04:47] Sariphi
You mustn't snap at people like that,
or someday you'll be all alone.
[04:52] Clops
His Majesty is terrifying!
Say you're sorry right away!
[04:55] Cy
Away!
[04:56] Sariphi
And who might you be?
[04:58] Cy
Cy.
[04:59] Clops
And I'm Clops.
[05:00] Clops
We're supposed to keep an eye on you.
[05:04] Leonhart
Impudent human girl.
[05:07] Leonhart
Your show of boldness fools no one.
[05:10] Leonhart
Every sacrifice before you has trembled
and wailed in terror in my presence.
[05:17] Leonhart
If you wish to make your
death less agonizing,
[05:20] Leonhart
prostrate yourself before me,
quake, and beg for your life.
[05:26] Sariphi
Aw, Your Majesty!
Your paw pads are so squishy!
[05:32] Leonhart
You dare?
[05:34] Sariphi
Even if I escape, I have no home
or family waiting for me.
[05:40] Sariphi
So you'll gobble me up,
and that will be that.
[05:43] Sariphi
I don't mind.
[05:48] Leonhart
What is your name, human girl?
[05:52] Sariphi
I'm Sari. Sariphi. And you?
[05:59] Leonhart
I have no personal name.
[06:01] Leonhart
If I have a name, it is the blood in
my veins which proves my royalty.
[06:09] Leonhart
The sacrificial ritual is on the next night
of revelation, when the miasma clears.
[06:16] Leonhart
Let us see how long your bravado lasts.
[06:19] Leonhart
Until that time, I will make an
exception and keep you at my side.
[06:26] Speaker A
Chancellor! Is Chancellor Anubis here?!
[06:29] Speaker B
What is the meaning of this?!
[06:32] Speaker A
The sacrificial girl is free
and roaming the palace!
[06:37] Anubis
Please calm yourselves, my lord speakers.
[06:40] Anubis
She is in chains, and thus hardly "free."
[06:43] Speaker A
Spare us your quibbling!
[06:45] Speaker A
Does His Majesty mean to keep a human pet?!
[06:48] Speaker B
Really, these royal whims are intolerable.
And the late king was just as bad.
[06:53] Speaker B
In the great war 100 years ago,
[06:56] Speaker B
His late Majesty arbitrarily
made peace with the humans.
[07:01] Speaker B
Rebels who refuse to abide by his decree
plague our land to this day.
[07:08] Speaker A
Indeed. And it is to quell such sentiments
[07:12] Speaker A
that the terms of the
truce demand a sacrifice.
[07:16] Speaker A
It symbolizes that the
humans are not our equals.
[07:21] Anubis
I am well aware of that, of course.
[07:24] Speaker B
Just advise His Majesty.
[07:26] Speaker B
Tell him this is no time for games
that might well leave him vulnerable.
[07:35] Sariphi
Your Majesty.
[07:37] Leonhart
Who gave you permission
to leave my chambers?
[07:40] Leonhart
Cy, Clops.
[07:42] Leonhart
What have you been watching her for?
[07:44] Clops
W-We beg Your Majesty's pardon!
[07:47] Cy
Pardon!
[07:48] Sariphi
Wait, sire, it was my idea to—
[07:51] Leonhart
Know your place and return to my chambers.
[07:55] Sariphi
Sire!
[07:57] Sariphi
But I was bored. Your chambers
are so bleak and empty.
[08:03] Leonhart
I am a king. I lack for nothing.
[08:07] Sariphi
But don't you think some flowers
would brighten things up?
[08:11] Leonhart
I have no interest in admiring flowers.
[08:15] Leonhart
Besides, flowers do not grow
in the miasma of this land,
[08:18] Leonhart
which lifts only when the moon
shines on the night of revelation.
[08:22] Sariphi
You're no fun.
[08:24] Leonhart
Be that as it may,
[08:25] Leonhart
a human like you will be minced meat the
moment you leave this room and my sight.
[08:31] Leonhart
If you wish to live to see the day
of the ritual, do as I say.
[08:35] Sariphi
Oh, I see.
[08:36] Sariphi
You were worried about me,
weren't you, sire?
[08:46] Leonhart
Curse your insolence.
[08:48] Leonhart
I needn't wait for the ritual, you know.
[08:52] Leonhart
I could tear out your fragile throat
on a whim here and now.
[08:56] Leonhart
Do you still not fear me?
[09:02] Sariphi
No. I know something much scarier.
[09:09] Sariphi
Once, when I was reading an old book
on an awful, stormy night,
[09:15] Sariphi
I learned that my name means
"sacrifice" in an ancient tongue.
[09:21] (Flashback) Sariphi
Maria.
[09:23] (Flashback) Sariphi
Maria, wake up.
[09:27] (Flashback) Maria
What is it, Sari?
[09:29] (Flashback) Maria
Did you have a nightmare?
[09:32] (Flashback) Maria
Go to Mom and Dad.
[09:37] (Flashback) Mother
I knew it. The next sacrifice
will be from our village.
[09:40] (Flashback) Father
Don't worry. Our girl will be safe.
[09:44] (Flashback) Mother
But...
[09:45] (Flashback) Father
This is why we have a substitute.
[09:48] (Flashback) Father
We took her in and raised her
to prepare for this.
[09:51] (Flashback) Father
Remember?
[09:56] Sariphi
I had just discovered I'd
been raised as a sacrifice,
[10:00] Sariphi
but the cold stares of the people who'd been
my parents were what really terrified me.
[10:09] Sariphi
But your eyes are nothing like that, sire.
[10:12] Sariphi
So you don't scare me at all.
[10:20] Sariphi
Do you force yourself to act angry?
[10:26] Leonhart
Sariphi, you are...
[10:30] Leonhart
a girl to be pitied.
[10:38] Clops
This is Daghtau, an old fortress city,
and the closest one to Yoana.
[10:43] Clops
So it saw the fiercest fighting
of the last great war.
[10:47] Sariphi
What is Yoana?
[10:49] Clops
It's what we call the human country.
[10:53] Clops
Even now, 100 years after the war,
the scars still run deep.
[10:56] Clops
So the king often comes
for inspections like this.
[11:00] Cy
This.
[11:01] Sariphi
Wow.
[11:02] Sariphi
Oh, what's that over there?
[11:05] Anubis
Ah! That girl is loose again!
[11:08] Leonhart
Let her do as she pleases.
[11:10] Anubis
But, sire...
[11:20] Sariphi
Ruins?
[11:21] Leonhart
Go no farther.
[11:23] Sariphi
Your Majesty?
[11:24] Leonhart
Cy, Clops, you've done enough. Leave us.
[11:29] Clops
Yes, sire!
[11:31] Leonhart
Unlike this place, the lower
town is a lawless zone.
[11:35] Leonhart
As the farthest city from the palace,
it is hotbed of rebellion.
[11:40] Leonhart
Even now, its people often
cause strife with humans.
[11:44] Sariphi
Is that why you come to inspect it?
[11:46] Leonhart
Someone must stop fools
from shedding needless blood.
[11:52] Leonhart
Through fear, the surest and
most reliable method of all.
[11:56] Leonhart
A king should wield his power to that end.
[12:02] Sariphi
It must be hard to be a king.
[12:08] Anubis
Where has His Majesty gone?
[12:09] Clops
Sir, he took the human girl
to a hill overlooking the ruins.
[12:13] Clops
I believe they will return soon.
[12:15] Cy
Soon.
[12:21] Sariphi
Hm? Something smells nice.
[12:30] Sariphi
Flowers grow here?!
[12:37] Leonhart
The miasma is particularly thin here.
[12:41] Leonhart
It is the only place in this
land where flowers bloom.
[12:44] Sariphi
Is that why you brought me here, sire?
[12:49] Leonhart
I can't have you wandering the palace
the next time I take my eyes off you.
[12:54] Sariphi
Thank you!
[12:56] Sariphi
Oh, sire, can I pick some
flowers to bring back?
[12:59] Leonhart
They would wilt at once in the palace.
[13:03] Sariphi
Please!
[13:06] Leonhart
Suit yourself.
[13:13] Leonhart
Hmph. Humans defy comprehension.
[13:17] Leonhart
Why care for something destined to die in—
[13:21] Sariphi
Here, sire. This is for you.
[13:27] Sariphi
You look adorable!
[13:29] Leonhart
You dare mock a king in his own kingdom?!
[13:32] Sariphi
But, sire...
[13:34] Sariphi
You're always making faces like this.
[13:37] Sariphi
Doesn't having pretty things
like this to look at
[13:41] Sariphi
make you feel a little better?
[13:52] Sariphi
Sire?
[13:54] Leonhart
A storm approaches.
[14:02] Leonhart
After a string of such wild nights,
[14:05] Leonhart
comes the clear night of revelation.
[14:08] Leonhart
On that night, I will sacrifice you at las—
[14:12] Sariphi
Lightning!
[14:15] Leonhart
You don't fear beasts, yet a
little thunder frightens you?
[14:22] Sariphi
I can't help it.
[14:33] Leonhart
I can't have you wailing
over every lightning flash.
[14:37] Leonhart
This should do something to
keep out the noise and light.
[14:41] Sariphi
Okay.
[14:44] Sariphi
Oh, you're so fluffy!
[14:47] Leonhart
How fickle. You were quaking
in terror mere moments ago.
[14:53] Sariphi
You're so warm that I'm not scared anymore.
[14:58] Sariphi
You know, sire,
[15:00] Sariphi
you don't have to act tough in front of me.
[15:16] Sariphi
Because it won't be long
[15:19] Sariphi
before my final night.
[15:25] Anubis
The miasma clouds have lifted.
[15:28] Anubis
'Tis the night of revelation.
The ritual is upon us at last.
[15:31] Anubis
Listen closely. The ritual
of sacrifice is a sacred thing.
[15:35] Anubis
Watch your tongue and
proceed carefully, lest—
[15:39] Sariphi
So sacrifices get to wear these
lovely clothes, Chancellor?!
[15:43] Anubis
Naturally! The sacrifice is to
become part of His Majesty.
[15:47] Anubis
No impurity may—
[15:48] Sariphi
It's like a wedding dress!
[15:50] Sariphi
Cy, Clops, how do I look?
[15:52] Clops
You look great, Sari!
[15:54] Cy
Sari!
[15:55] Anubis
I told you to listen!
[15:58] Sariphi
By the way, where's the king?
[16:00] Anubis
His Majesty does not show himself
to us on the night of the sacrifice.
[16:05] Sariphi
Why not? Is it a royal tradition?
[16:09] Anubis
None of our previous kings behaved thus.
[16:12] Anubis
But it is not for us to question
His Majesty's wisdom.
[16:18] Anubis
Regardless, you are to wait quietly
here in the altar chamber.
[16:25] Sariphi
It's so dark. I can't even tell right from left.
[16:30] Sariphi
Your Majesty?
[16:35] Sariphi
It's not the king?!
[16:37] Assassin
B-Be silent, sacrifice girl.
[16:41] Assassin
Tonight is a golden opportunity to
get the king away from his retainers.
[16:44] Assassin
I'll take your place and
lie in wait for him here.
[16:49] Sariphi
What are you going to do to the king?!
[16:51] Assassin
You have to ask?
[16:52] Assassin
A-An indecisive king who panders
to humans can't defend us.
[16:57] Assassin
Here, on this very night,
I'll topple him from his throne!
[17:01] Assassin
Y-You're about to die anyway.
[17:04] Assassin
I'll put your life to good use!
[17:14] Assassin
A-An agent of the king?!
[17:16] Assassin
O-Only a traitor would follow that coward!
[17:21] Sariphi
He's not a coward.
[17:24] Sariphi
The king tries to stop all the
needless bloodshed he can.
[17:28] Sariphi
He denies himself to keep his people safe.
[17:32] Sariphi
His Majesty is a great king!
[17:37] Assassin
E-Enough claptrap! You can die together!
[18:00] Sariphi
Wait!
[18:02] Sariphi
You're the king, aren't you?
[18:12] Sariphi
You're hurt.
[18:13] Leonhart
Do not touch me!
[18:17] Leonhart
I am no king.
[18:19] Sariphi
Yes, you are.
[18:23] Sariphi
I can tell.
[18:27] Leonhart
I am... no king.
[18:31] Leonhart
Though I was born a beast,
half my blood is human.
[18:36] Leonhart
I can never truly be either.
[18:40] Leonhart
When the moonlit night of revelation
exposes this other form,
[18:46] Leonhart
I merely hide in darkness and wait
for it to pass. I'm a coward.
[18:53] Leonhart
For all my empty bluster,
I can't fool even a single girl.
[19:00] Leonhart
How could such a pitiful weakling be a king?
[19:09] Sariphi
You're not weak.
[19:12] Sariphi
The chancellor told me.
[19:14] Sariphi
You always perform the ritual alone.
[19:18] Sariphi
No one's seen you eat any of the sacrifices.
[19:25] Sariphi
When dawn breaks, the sacrifice is gone,
and there's human blood everywhere.
[19:32] Sariphi
That's how everyone knows
you did the ritual.
[19:37] Sariphi
A weak person...
[19:39] Sariphi
A weak person couldn't
do something like that.
[19:45] Sariphi
You're the strongest there is, sire.
[19:49] Sariphi
I'm so glad I got to be your sacrifice.
[19:54] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[19:57] Sariphi
Even if you let me go,
I have no home to go back to.
[20:01] Sariphi
I can't go back to those cold stares.
[20:05] Sariphi
So I want my life to end
[20:08] Sariphi
with you eating me.
[20:12] Sariphi
I want to nourish someone strong and kind.
[20:31] Sariphi
I'm so glad the last eyes to look at me...
[20:34] Leonhart
Sari...
[20:36] Sariphi
...were full of warmth.
[20:39] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[20:41] Sariphi
Thank you, sire.
[20:45] Leonhart
Now you belong to me.
[20:54] Anubis
S-Sire...
[20:56] Anubis
I... I'm not sure I—
[20:58] Leonhart
Don't make me repeat myself.
[21:00] Leonhart
Henceforth, I will be taking
Sariphi as my queen.
[21:05] Speaker A
N-Nonsense! You would dilute
the royal line with human blood?!
[21:10] Speaker B
This is unprecedented!
[21:12] Leonhart
All who object, step forward if you dare!
[21:18] Sariphi
See? I told you they'd be upset.
[21:21] Leonhart
Oh, they won't complain. I won't let them.
[21:25] Clops
Sari!
[21:26] Cy
Ri!
[21:29] Sariphi
Oh, I almost forgot!
[21:30] Sariphi
I've been trying to come up with a name,
sire. Would you like to hear it?
[21:34] Leonhart
A name?
[21:35] Sariphi
Yes, a name for you.
[21:39] Sariphi
Leonhart.
[21:41] Sariphi
It means "brave-hearted" in the
ancient language of my country.
[21:46] Leonhart
Leonhart...
[21:50] Leonhart
Yes, I could live with that.
[23:25] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:27] Anubis
First you escape sacrifice,
and now you inveigle my king!
[23:30] Anubis
I shall soon expose your vile true nature!
[23:34] Sariphi
Despite what he says, I'm sure I can
make friends with the chancellor, too.

[02:46] Sariphi
I'm sorry, but...

I came here as a sacrifice to the king.

Really, he should already
have eaten me by now.

You're not weak.

The king has been hurting himself
to spare the sacrifices all this time.
[03:20] Sariphi
And he said he would keep me at his side,
[03:24] Sariphi
even though I was raised to be sacrificed
and have no home to go back to.
[03:29] Sariphi
He's so strong and kind.
[03:33] Sariphi
He only makes himself look scary to stop
rebellions and pointless fighting.
[03:40] Sariphi
He's really trying to protect everyone.
[03:44] Sariphi
I can't sit still while he argues about me
with important people every day!

[04:36] Leonhart
Royalty and nobility from throughout my
realm and its vassal states will attend.
[04:43] Leonhart
As will you.
[04:46] Sariphi
From the whole realm... You want
me at such an important event?
[04:50] Leonhart
The dotards in the senate proposed it.
[04:53] Leonhart
They seem to think that if I
present you to the peerage,
[04:57] Leonhart
the resulting backlash will change my mind.
[05:01] Sariphi
How should I behave?
[05:04] Leonhart
Don't dwell on it. Hold your head high.
[05:07] Leonhart
However,
[05:08] Leonhart
never call me "Leonhart" at the banquet
or in company from now on.
[05:14] Leonhart
It sets a bad example.
[05:16] Leonhart
Call me "sire," as you have been.
[05:18] Sariphi
Fine.
[05:26] Sariphi
I wonder if there's anything I can do.
[05:36] Retainers; Anubis
May you sleep well, sire.
[05:59] Leonhart
Don't shout in my ear.
[06:02] Leonhart
Beasts have far more
sensitive hearing than hu—
[06:04] Sariphi
Sorry, Your Majesty! How could I fall
asleep while you're still working?!
[06:09] Leonhart
Never mind. But what is this?
[06:12] Leonhart
Where did you get flowers?
[06:14] Sariphi
I made them. They're artificial.
[06:17] Sariphi
The real flowers I picked
before wilted in no time.
[06:23] Sariphi
These will stay pretty forever,
[06:25] Sariphi
so I hope they'll help you relax
whenever you return to your chambers.
[06:29] Sariphi
I know it's not much, but it's all I can do.

SIGN FANCY
[06:33] Sariphi
Look! I dressed up your bed, too!
[06:36] Leonhart
I thought I told you I take
no interest in such things.
[06:41] Leonhart
Still, perhaps false flowers suit me.
[06:47] Leonhart
I, too, am a sham—a beast with
human blood and a human form.
[06:53] Leonhart
A false king who hides his
timid heart behind a snarl.
[06:59] Leonhart
These flowers are practically my double.
[07:03] Sariphi
That's not true.
[07:05] Sariphi
They may be artificial,
[07:07] Sariphi
but if they can touch someone's heart,
I think they're as good as the real thing.
[07:15] Sariphi
Oh, but you're less like flowers and
more like the bees that land on them.
[07:21] Leonhart
Bees?
[07:22] Sariphi
Carpenter bees are big,
and they make a loud buzz,
[07:26] Sariphi
so they seem scary at first glance.
[07:29] (Flashback) Maria
Watch out, Sariphi! A bee!
[07:33] Sariphi
But they're really gentle and work hard
flying around for their friends.
[07:38] Sariphi
And they're also big and fluffy, just like you.
[07:42] Leonhart
But those creatures must
merely obey their instincts.
[07:47] Sariphi
That's true.
[07:49] Sariphi
But since I had no choice
about being a sacrifice...
[07:54] (Flashback) Sariphi
Come on. The nectar's this way.
[07:58] Sariphi
...their dedication to their role
seemed beautiful to me.
[08:05] Sariphi
So you're not a fake, sire.
[08:09] Sariphi
I hope that one day, I'll have
a purpose like that, too.
[08:33] Sariphi
Wow!
[08:35] Sariphi
Look at all the people!
[08:37] Clops
His Majesty isn't fond of
having guests in the castle,
[08:40] Clops
so we haven't seen it this busy in ages.
[08:43] Cy
Ages.
[08:44] Sariphi
This is amazing!
[08:45] Sariphi
I never knew there were so many
different kinds of beasts.
[08:50] Anubis
Human girl.
[08:52] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor.
[08:53] Anubis
Be on your best behavior
today. Is that clear?
[08:57] Anubis
Don't wander. Keep your mouth shut.
In fact, don't do anything.
[09:02] Sariphi
Huh? But I wanted to entertain the guests.
[09:05] Sariphi
And I thought so hard
about how to greet them.
[09:08] Anubis
Don't give yourself airs!
[09:10] Anubis
You are merely a sacrifice,
kept alive by His Majesty's whim.
[09:15] Anubis
The peerage is certain to object.
[09:18] Anubis
Even I categorically refuse to
accept you as my king's consort.
[09:23] Anubis
But since you are to stand
beside him at this banquet,
[09:27] Anubis
I will not permit you to sully his
royal dignity with your conduct.
[09:31] Anubis
Merely keeping company with a human is
already a great hindrance to His Majesty.
[09:35] Anubis
Never let that fact slip your mind.
[09:40] Horse A
I haven't been invited to the
palace in ages. Have you?
[09:45] Horse B
I hear His Majesty will be
presenting his new queen.
[09:48] Horse B
I can only imagine how
magnificent her fur must be.
[09:51] Chameleon A
He's always rebuffed our kingdom's
proposals. How fine can this girl be?
[09:58] Chameleon B
We'll have to see for ourselves.
[10:00] Horse A
Good heavens.
[10:01] Horse A
The king would never take a bride
from a backwater Reptilian kingdom.
[10:06] Horse B
Certainly not.
[10:08] Horse A
Such dismissive treatment is just
what you Reptilians deserve.
[10:13] Chameleon B
You dare?!
[10:14] Anubis
My lords and ladies,
His Majesty has arrived.
[10:17] Anubis
Pray be silent.
[10:25] Peers
His Majesty's coat is always beautiful.
[10:28] Peers
And what magnificent horns he has.
[10:31] Peers
Then, the girl beside him must be...
[10:35] Peers
H-Human!
[10:40] Peers
A human?!
[10:41] Peers
Surely she can't be the future queen?!
[10:44] Peers
A human?! Preposterous!
[10:46] Horse A
I can't believe it! Her face is flat!
Her limbs are like twigs!
[10:50] Horse B
And her skin is as bald as a Reptilian's!
[10:52] Horse B
How unsightly!
[10:53] Chameleon A
M-Mind your tongue! How dare
you compare us to humans?!
[10:56] Chameleon A
Your Majesty, what is the meaning
of this?! I demand an explanation!
[11:00] Leonhart
Silence!
[11:09] Sariphi
Sire...
[11:15] Sariphi
It's fine.
[11:19] Sariphi
I knew this would happen.
I've always been a fake.
[11:24] Sariphi
But at the very least,
[11:26] Sariphi
I need to hold my head
high like he told me to.
[11:30] Sariphi
I'm standing next to the
lord of this kingdom!
[11:34] Anubis
Now, my lords and ladies, please enjoy
yourselves at this evening's banquet.
[11:48] Sariphi
This is so awkward.
[11:51] Sariphi
Isn't there anything
I can do to help the king?
[12:02] Anubis
No! Don't rise without—
[12:11] Horse A
Oh, how dreadful. That wretched
human wasted no time.
[12:15] Horse B
We can hardly touch that dish now, can we?
[12:19] Sariphi
This is for you.
[12:23] Sariphi
The king arranged this feast for
tonight's banquet—for all of you.
[12:28] Sariphi
Please, eat your fill.
[12:33] Sariphi
Here, help yourselves.
[12:49] Sariphi
How do you find it?
[12:51] Horse A
Most... delicious.
[12:54] Sariphi
Thank goodness!
[13:03] Clops
We'll help, too!
[13:05] Cy
Help! Help!
[13:07] Peers
My, this is delectable.
[13:10] Peers
Truly, food fit for a king.
[13:12] Peers
And all in our honor.
[13:14] Peers
To His Majesty!
[13:16] Peers
Cheers!
[13:20] Anubis
Oh, that wayward girl...
[13:23] Leonhart
Never mind.
[13:24] Anubis
B-But, sire, after all my orders to stay put...
[13:29] Leonhart
Yes.
[13:30] Leonhart
She refuses to be governed
by me, let alone you.
[13:38] Sariphi
Oh, I'll help you with that.
[13:41] Maid
I couldn't possibly presume.
[13:44] Sariphi
There's still plenty of food, isn't there?
[13:47] Sariphi
Where are the kitchens?
[13:49] Clops
Right this way.
[13:50] Cy
Way.
[13:55] Todd
You think you can barge into
my kitchen, human girl?
[14:00] Sariphi
Y-You see...
[14:03] Chef A
Go away! The palace kitchens
are sacred ground!
[14:07] Chef A
If a human comes in here...
[14:08] Chef B
You'll spoil the dishes we
worked so hard to make!
[14:11] Clops
Sari is the future queen!
[14:15] Cy
Queen! Queen!
[14:16] Todd
Hmm? So you're the one who dumped
this last-minute banquet on us?
[14:23] Todd
And now you want to carry our cooking?!
[14:30] Todd
Okay. I'll allow it.
[14:31] Chefs
What?!
[14:33] Chef A
Are you sure, Head Chef Todd?!
[14:35] Chef B
What if the king finds out?
[14:37] Todd
She just came from the king, numbskulls!
[14:41] Todd
He must have something in mind.
[14:45] Todd
Hey, what're you standing around for?!
[14:47] Todd
Get carrying! Do you want
the food to get cold?
[14:52] Sariphi
Right!
[14:58] Sariphi
Um... Thank you very much
[15:00] Sariphi
for letting a human like me into your kitch—
[15:02] Todd
Get going! We're trying to work here!
[15:05] Sariphi
Y-Yessir!
[15:16] Chameleon A
Damn that filthy human. She won't fool me.
[15:23] Sariphi
Cy, Clops, what's this?
[15:26] Clops
This rare fruit wine was a gift
from the mayor of Amernia.
[15:31] Clops
Amernia is a trading city,
so it gets lots of unusual goods.
[15:35] Sariphi
Wow.
[15:36] Sariphi
I know!
[15:37] Sariphi
I'll bring this to the king!
[15:40] Clops
Wait! His Majesty doesn't
consume gifts from abroad!
[15:45] Chameleon A
Our princess will be crowned queen!*
[15:49] Chameleon A*
And then my people will be
thick as thieves with royalty!
[15:50] Sariphi
Sire, this is a rare wine from—
[16:05] Sariphi
Oh, sire, I'm so sorry! Are you all right?!
[16:09] Chameleon A
Wh-What impudence!
And what a graceless girl!
[16:13] Chameleon
Wretched human! I'd wager
you did that deliberately!
[16:22] Sariphi
Huh?
[16:31] Leonhart
Not a bad vintage. I appreciate it.
[16:35] Sariphi
Sire...
[16:36] Chameleon A
P-Pardon me, sire. Are you hurt?
[16:42] Leonhart
What a fine tail you have.
[16:45] Leonhart
No wonder it gets tangled
around others' feet.
[16:51] Chameleon A
F-Forgive me, sire! I didn't mean to—
[16:54] Leonhart
Sariphi is to be my queen.
[16:58] Leonhart
Discourtesy to her is disloyalty
to me, your king!
[17:20] Leonhart
You owe your life to the human girl
you insulted. Remember that.
[17:28] Leonhart
But I won't be so lenient again.
[17:41] Clops
Cheer up, Sari.
[17:43] Clops
His Majesty is always angry.
[17:45] Cy
Not your fault.
[17:47] Sariphi
Thanks, Cy, Clops.
[17:50] Sariphi
But it doesn't change what happened.
[17:54] (Flashback) Anubis
...a great hindrance to His Majesty.
[17:59] Sariphi
I'm on course to prove the chancellor right.
[18:05] Sariphi
Huh?
[18:06] Clops
What in the...
[18:14] Leonhart
Grab hold, Sariphi.
[18:16] Sariphi
Sire...
[18:20] Leonhart
Why would you grab me there?
[18:22] Sariphi
But...
[18:23] Leonhart
No matter. Just don't let go.
[18:28] Sariphi
Huh? What?!
[18:40] Sariphi
What's going on?!
[18:42] Leonhart
This is my holy beast, Gwiber.
[18:46] Sariphi
A holy beast?
[18:49] Sariphi
Wow! We're so high up!
[18:54] Leonhart
You're not afraid of heights?
[18:56] Sariphi
I love them!
[18:57] Leonhart
That's convenient.
[18:59] Leonhart
The gusty upper airs should
blow away your gloom.
[19:05] Sariphi
Thank you, sire.
[19:08] Sariphi
For a moment, I thought
you would get rid of me.
[19:13] Leonhart
What?
[19:14] Sariphi
I mean, no one wants a human queen.
[19:19] Sariphi
And today went just like the
senators hoped it would.
[19:24] Sariphi
And if I'm just a burden to you,
I'd rather you did get rid of me.
[19:43] Sariphi
Sire?
[19:45] Leonhart
You...
[19:47] Leonhart
little fool!

I've already devoured you once.
[19:54] Leonhart
Did I not say that you're a part of me now?
[19:58] Leonhart
Who would hack off his own hand
or foot because it got in his way?
[20:03] Sariphi
But at the banquet,
[20:07] Sariphi
you almost killed that beast
in front of everyone.
[20:11] Sariphi
You don't really want to hurt
your people like that, do you?
[20:16] Sariphi
If you keep me with you,
[20:19] Sariphi
you'll have to do something like that again.
[20:24] Leonhart
When that time comes, you'll stop me again.
[20:32] Leonhart
Behold, Sariphi.
[20:35] Leonhart
I am king of this realm.
[20:37] Leonhart
I have a duty to defend the
land and lead my brethren.
[20:42] Leonhart
For a false king such as I,
no burden could be heavier.
[20:47] Leonhart
But when I'm with you, and only then,
[20:50] Leonhart
I am freed from the shackles of kingship.
[20:54] Leonhart
I feel as though I could forget my duty
when you merely call my name.
[20:59] Leonhart
I've never felt this way before.
[21:02] Leonhart
And only with you can I someday become
[21:06] Leonhart
a truly mighty king.
[21:12] Leonhart
Stay by my side. That is your role.
[21:18] Sariphi
Sire...
[21:20] Leonhart
Now is the time to call me
by the name you gave to me.
[21:25] Sariphi
All right.
[21:26] Sariphi
Leo. Leonhart.
[21:32] Sariphi
That's right.
[21:34] Sariphi
That's what I can do now.
My reason to go on living.
[21:40] Sariphi
I'll give sweet nectar to a big bee
flying through the fields.
[21:45] Sariphi
One day,
[21:48] Sariphi
I'll be a real flower.
[23:25] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:27] Anubis
How dare you act out at the banquet?
[23:29] Anubis
I shall soon expose your vile—
[23:32] Anubis
Wait, where did she go?
[23:33] Clops
To Karanbul City, sir. With His Majesty.
[23:36] Cy
Date! Date!

[00:01] Anubis
His Most August Majesty's kingdom of Ozmargo
[00:05] Anubis
consists of 32 key cities
and 15 vassal states.
[00:10] Anubis
The capital of Karanbul, where
this palace stands, is its heart.
[00:15] Anubis
Beasts of many species gather from far
and wide, fostering a rich culture of...
[00:21] Anubis
Are you listening?!
[00:23] Sariphi
H-Huh? What part were we reading, again?
[00:26] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[00:27] Clops
We managed to translate these
books into human writing.
[00:31] Cy
Writing.
[00:33] Sariphi
Thank you, Cy, Clops.
[00:38] Clops
But why did you start
studying out of the blue?
[00:42] Sariphi
Since I came here as a sacrifice, I don't
know the first thing about this kingdom.
[00:49] Sariphi
So I decided to learn,
[00:52] Sariphi
but it's too much for me
to take in all at once.
[00:56] Anubis
No mere human could appreciate
the lofty history of beastkind.
[01:02] Anubis
I reluctantly consented to teach you
because His Majesty ordered it,
[01:05] Anubis
but going further would be a waste of time.
[01:07] Anubis
I will return to my duties.
[01:10] Sariphi
What are your duties, Mr. Chancellor?
[01:12] Anubis
The same as any chancellor!
[01:14] Anubis
I assist the king in affairs of state,
of which he has many to manage.
[01:19] Anubis
He hasn't been able to rest in far too long.
SIGN Beasts and a Human Town
[03:00] Leonhart
What?
[03:02] Sariphi
I'd like to go outside the
palace with you. Can't we?
[03:06] Leonhart
Do you seriously believe I would permit it?
[03:11] Sariphi
I'd like to see how normal beasts live.
[03:15] Leonhart
No. I supply all your wants in the palace.
[03:20] Leonhart
There's no need.
[03:22] Sariphi
Are you sure, sire?
[03:23] Sariphi
Still, I think you need a
break every now and then.
[03:31] Sariphi
Pretty please?
[03:35] Leonhart
Once you start pestering, you never stop.
[03:37] Leonhart
Very we—
[03:38] Sariphi
Yay! Thank you, sire! I love you!
[03:42] Leonhart
But only on one condition.
[03:50] Sariphi
Oh, wow! It's so crowded!
[03:53] Sariphi
And there really are all
kinds of people here.
[03:57] Leonhart
This is a major street in
the heart of the capital.
[04:01] Leonhart
Traffic is especially heavy here.
[04:05] Leonhart
Hm? What's so amusing?
[04:07] Sariphi
I-It's just that...
[04:10] Sariphi
you look so suspicious, sire!
[04:12] Leonhart
I can't help that.
[04:14] Leonhart
More importantly, remember your promise.
[04:17] Sariphi
I won't cause trouble,
and I'll be home before dark.
[04:21] Anubis
Unacceptable! Unacceptable!
You mustn't do that, sire!
[04:21] Leonhart
I sent Anubis to a neighboring town.
We must return before him,
[04:25] Anubis
You mustn't do that, either! Nor this!
[04:26] Leonhart
or I'll be forced to hear
more of his griping.
[04:28] Anubis
Do you understand your own position, sire?!
[04:29] Sariphi
Even you're afraid of his lectures.
[04:31] Anubis
Unacceptable!
[04:33] Sariphi
Okay, then. Let's get going, sire!
[04:35] Leonhart
Also,
[04:37] Leonhart
stop addressing me as "sire."
[04:40] Sariphi
Oh, that's right.
[04:42] Sariphi
In that case...
[04:44] Sariphi
Let's go, Leo!
[04:47] Dyer
This fine cloth was dyed
by Granian craftsmen.
[04:50] Dyer
You'll never find this color again.
[04:53] Woman
My, what lovely gemstones.
[04:55] Jeweler
You have a good eye.
What would you say to this piece?
[05:02] Bear Woman
Oh, pardon me, miss. My, how little you are.
[05:08] Sariphi
It's so lively.
[05:09] Sariphi
But when I see it like this, it's not
much different from a human town.
[05:16] Sariphi
Hm? Something smells nice.
[05:19] Sariphi
Oh, a bakery!
[05:22] Mal
Welcome, miss. It's fresh out of the oven.
[05:25] Rog
So's this.
[05:27] Sariphi
So they have bread here, too.
[05:29] Sariphi
They didn't serve it in the
palace, so I never knew.
[05:33] Rog
The palace?
[05:34] Mal
Did you two come from the palace?
[05:37] El
You've got great horns. Like the king.
[05:42] Rog
Come, now, His Majesty would never
dress up like such a shady character.
[05:47] Rog
Word to the wise, they say the king
hates anything made from wheat.
[05:52] Rog
Although it's a luxury in these parts.
[05:56] Rog
Under the last king, royals and aristocrats
snapped up all the rarities.
[06:02] Rog
But the current king couldn't care less
about delicacies or fancy decorations.
[06:07] Mal
That's why we're in business.
[06:10] Rog
Indeed.
[06:11] Mal
These days, big-shot nobles
come into the city to shop,
[06:16] Mal
so his tastes are great for us.
[06:24] Sariphi
Here, Leo. This is yours.
[06:27] Leonhart
I don't need it. Those spongy
things won't satisfy my hunger.
[06:31] Sariphi
Really? Are you sure you don't want it?
[06:34] Sariphi
I'm full right now, so I'd love
it if you ate one for me.
[06:39] Leonhart
What fool buys food on a full stomach?
[06:43] Sariphi
I'm sorry, but...
[06:45] Sariphi
Come on. Say "ahh." Please?
[06:49] Sariphi
"Ahh."
[06:53] Sariphi
Well?
[06:55] Leonhart
It's like chewing on air, but...
well, it's not bad.
[07:00] Sariphi
I'm so glad!
[07:05] Sariphi
What's wrong?
[07:07] Bolas
Mommy's gone. Mommy's gone.
[07:10] Sariphi
You got separated from your mommy?
[07:12] Bolas
Yeah.
[07:13] Sariphi
What's your name?
[07:14] Bolas
Bolas.
[07:16] Sariphi
Okay, Bolas. Let's find your mommy together.
[07:20] Leonhart
The sun is soon to set.
We must return to the castle.
[07:24] Sariphi
I know. We need to find
her quickly, or we'll be late.
[07:31] Sariphi
Bolas's mom, are you there?
[07:35] Sariphi
Bolas's mom!
[07:38] Sariphi
Bolas's mo—
[07:40] Sariphi
Wh-What?
[07:43] Leonhart
Give the child here.
The mother can see it this way.
[07:48] Sariphi
Yes. Thank you, Leo.
[07:50] Leonhart
We'll find her, then hurry back.
[07:54] Sariphi
Why did I feel dizzy just now?
[07:56] Sariphi
Is it from carrying this heavy head around?
[07:59] Bolas
Mommy's gone. I can't find her.
[08:05] Sariphi
Sorry, Leo. Would you bend down a bit?
[08:11] Sariphi
It's all right. We'll find her.
[08:14] Sariphi
So don't cry,
[08:16] Sariphi
okay?
[08:19] Bolas
Okay.
[08:24] Bolas's Mother
Bolas!
[08:26] Bolas
Mommy!
[08:27] Bolas's Mother
Where have you been?! I was looking for you!
[08:30] Bolas's Mother
I'm so glad you're all right.
[08:32] Bolas's Mother
Thank you so much.
[08:35] Sariphi
No, we didn't do anything...
[08:38] Sariphi
Watch out!
[08:42] Bolas's Mother
A h-human!
[08:43] Beasts
A human?!
[08:44] Beasts
Did she say "human"?!
[08:46] Sariphi
I'm fine, Leo. So is the child.
[08:49] Bolas's Mother
Bolas!
[08:50] Sariphi
Here, ma'a—
[08:51] Bolas's Mother
Don't touch my child!
[08:55] Mal
She was in our shop earlier.
[08:57] Rog
Did she steal anything?
[08:59] Beast A
Someone, call the guards!
[09:01] Beast B
Get out of our land!
[09:02] Beast C
Filthy human!
[09:14] Beast D
Look! The human's gone!
[09:16] Beast E
Find her! She can't have gone far!
[09:20] Leonhart
We're going home before
this uproar gets any worse.
[09:25] Sariphi
Okay.
[09:30] Anubis
Your Majesty, where in
the world have you been?
[09:34] Anubis
A human was reportedly spotted in the city.
[09:38] Leonhart
Let us talk of this later.
[09:40] Speaker A
Oh, Your Majesty!
[09:41] Speaker B
These documents require your seal at once.
[09:44] Leonhart
Later, I said!
[09:47] Sariphi
I'm so sorry, sire!
[09:51] Sariphi
I ended up causing trouble.
[09:54] Sariphi
I got careless, and I scared
all the townspeople.
[09:59] Leonhart
You think those beasts feared a human?
[10:03] Sariphi
Yes. I mean...
[10:06] Sariphi
The way they looked at me
[10:10] Sariphi
was just how humans look
when they talk about beasts.
[10:15] Sariphi
It must be because they have
a history of war with us.
[10:20] Sariphi
Beasts may be a lot
stronger than humans are,
[10:26] Sariphi
but no one I met today seemed
like they wanted to fight humans.
[10:33] Sariphi
And we humans are the same way.
[10:37] Leonhart
Both beasts and humans
[10:39] Leonhart
seem alike in your eyes.
[10:42] Leonhart
I suppose your gaze can
penetrate any deception.
[10:47] Sariphi
Huh?
[10:49] Leonhart
I should be the one to apologize.
[10:52] Leonhart
I exposed you to danger
while we were together.
[10:55] Sariphi
It wasn't your fault.
[10:58] Leonhart
No, I let down my guard.
[11:01] Leonhart
I enjoyed this day of rest with you
from the bottom of my heart.
[11:09] Leonhart
Since the day I was born a king,
I've never before made such a blunder.
[11:17] Sariphi
You shouldn't bow to people, sire.
The chancellor will scold you.
[11:22] Sariphi
And besides...
[11:26] Sariphi
It wasn't a blunder. I had tons of fun!
[11:39] Leonhart
Sariphi?!
[11:42] Anubis
Then, this land's miasma is the cause?
[11:45] Anubis
Is that your diagnosis, my lord priest?
[11:48] Priest
It is. All humans are
susceptible to the miasma.
[11:53] Priest
And no human has ever dwelt
in our lands so long.
[11:58] Anubis
Meaning, if she stays...
[12:00] Priest
If she stays, it will erode her vitality
[12:04] Priest
until she ultimately expires.
[12:07] Leonhart
Are you in pain, Sariphi?
[12:11] Sariphi
Don't worry, sire. Go back to your work.
[12:17] Sariphi
I'll be fine.
[12:20] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[12:22] Leonhart
If you remain in my kingdom, you will...
[12:26] Sariphi
No matter what, I have...
[12:31] Leonhart
But I swear, I'll save you.
[12:39] Sariphi
The sky... It's blue.
[12:45] Wife
Oh!
[12:47] Wife
You're awake?
[12:54] Wife
You're awake?
[12:56] Sariphi
A human?
[12:58] Wife
Dear! Dear!
[13:01] Sariphi
Um... Where am I?
[13:03] Doctor
My clinic, on the outskirts of Turis.
[13:06] Doctor
You were brought here for miasma poisoning.
[13:09] Doctor
Don't you remember? You must
have come from the border.
[13:13] Wife
The wind blows miasma
over to our side sometimes.
[13:18] Sariphi
So this is human land?
[13:21] Wife
Oh, don't get up yet.
[13:24] Wife
Take your medicine first.
[13:26] Doctor
It's made from ambrosia, a fruit that grows
only in lands with the purest of waters.
[13:33] Doctor
It will purify the miasma
inside you in no time.
[13:36] Sariphi
Medicine?
[13:39] Sariphi
But I have no money.
[13:41] Wife
Don't worry. We've already been paid.
[13:46] Wife
Three days ago now,
[13:49] Wife
someone left you unconscious
in front of the clinic.
[13:55] Sariphi
So I was left here.
[13:56] Wife
We heard a knock in the night.
[13:59] Wife
By the time we got outside,
they were already gone,
[14:03] Wife
but they left more than enough money
for your treatment, as well as this note.
[14:12] Sariphi
Beast writing and the royal seal?
Is it from the king?
[14:17] Sariphi
I can't read it...
[14:20] (Flashback) Leonhart
If you remain in my kingdom, you will...
[14:24] Sariphi
...but I'm sure that's what it's about.
[14:27] Sariphi
The king...
[14:30] Sariphi
saved me.
[14:34] Roche
Good day to you, Doctor.
[14:36] Doctor
Why, hello, Roche.
[14:39] Doctor
How have you been feeling since then?
[14:41] Roche
Better, thanks to you.
[14:43] Roche
But tell me, have you hired a new assistant?
[14:47] Doctor
What?
[14:48] Roche
I haven't seen that girl
in your yard before.
[14:51] Doctor
Oh, her. She's...
[14:53] Doctor
a patient, actually.
[14:55] Roche
A patient?
[14:58] Sariphi
Come on in!
[14:59] Sariphi
Oh, wait, they don't say that at clinics.
[15:02] Sariphi
Hello, sir.
[15:05] Old Man B
You sure seem healthy.
[15:07] Wife
Sariphi, you're not well yet.
[15:11] Wife
Don't force yourself to help out.
[15:13] Sariphi
I'm fine.
[15:15] Wife
But we got paid handsomely to cure you.
[15:20] Sariphi
Yes, but that money wasn't mine.
[15:23] Sariphi
And when I stop moving,
[15:27] Sariphi
I can't help but start thinking.
[15:29] Sariphi
Is there anything else you need done?
[15:51] Wife
Goodness, I'm lucky you're
such a hard worker.
[15:55] Wife
The patients love you.
[15:57] Sariphi
I didn't do much.
[15:59] Wife
Listen, my husband and I were talking.
[16:03] Wife
We don't know anything about you
or whoever brought you to us.
[16:08] Wife
But if... if you've got nowhere else to go,
[16:14] Wife
you're welcome to stay here.
[16:17] Sariphi
Somewhere to go?
[16:20] Sariphi
I mustn't think about it.
I can't live in that kingdom.
[16:25] Sariphi
Even if I make my way back,
I'll just worry the king again.
[16:32] Wife
Well, you don't have to make
up your mind on the spot.
[16:36] Wife
Come on. Time for a breather.
[16:38] Sariphi
Right.
[16:39] Sariphi
I need to keep moving forward.
[16:43] Townsperson A
A new girl at the clinic
on the edge of town?
[16:47] Townsperson B
I hear she was brought in for a
sudden bout of miasma poisoning.
[16:51] Townsperson B
But rumor has it she's from
Noel Village, up north.
[16:54] Townsperson A
Noel? Aren't they the ones
who just sent a sacrifice?
[17:01] Sariphi
Hello! I'm here for the usual herbs and—
[17:05] Shopkeeper
H-Here! Take that and get out of here!
[17:08] Sariphi
Huh? But I haven't paid for—
[17:10] Shopkeeper
Just go!
[17:16] Sariphi
What's wrong?
[17:17] Sariphi
The townspeople seem different.
[17:46] Sariphi
Sir! Ma'am!
[17:48] Doctor
Would you please leave, Sariphi?
[17:51] Doctor
The whole town's whispering that you're
a sacrifice escaped from the beast realm.
[17:58] Wife
They worry the king of beasts
will come after you.
[18:02] Wife
That he'll raze the town for taking you in.
[18:06] Wife
You're right as rain now, aren't you?
[18:10] Wife
So please, just go somewhere else.
[18:19] Sariphi
I've got nowhere to go again.
[18:23] Sariphi
But I guess that's nothing new.
[18:26] (Flashback) Wife
...the king of beasts will come after you.
[18:29] Sariphi
If only he would.
[18:32] Sariphi
But I'll be fine.
[18:37] Sariphi
Because no matter what happens to me,
[18:41] Sariphi
His Majesty will still be there.
[18:47] Sariphi
I... won't be fine.
[18:51] Sariphi
I can't go back to life without him.
[19:04] Leonhart
I've been looking for you, Sariphi.
[19:11] Sariphi
Wh-What are you doing here, Your Majesty?
[19:15] Sariphi
And in human form, no less!
[19:17] Leonhart
In the human realm, free of miasma,
I lose my beastly form and magical power.
[19:23] Leonhart
That made tracking you down a challenge.
[19:26] Sariphi
Tracking me?
[19:28] Sariphi
But I thought you left me behind.
[19:31] Leonhart
What are you talking about?
I left you a letter.
[19:35] Sariphi
B-But I can't read beast writing yet.
[19:41] Sariphi
Wh-What did it say?
[19:46] Leonhart
I penned a promise to come back for you.
[19:53] Leonhart
Give me your hand.
[19:54] Sariphi
What's that?
[19:56] Leonhart
Ambrosia fruit purifies miasma.
I used my magic to crystallize it.
[20:02] Leonhart
The fruit is a rarity in Ozmargo,
so it took me some time to acquire.
[20:09] Leonhart
If you wear this at all times,
[20:11] Leonhart
the miasma will be purified
as soon as it enters your body.
[20:19] Sariphi
Then... I can stay with you, sire? Leo?
[20:28] Leonhart
Fool.
[20:31] Leonhart
Don't ask the obvious.
[20:33] Leonhart
You are my queen.
[20:42] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[20:43] Clops
Welcome back!
[20:45] Cy
Back!
[20:46] Sariphi
It's good to be home, Cy, Clops!
[20:49] Clops
You're not sick anymore?
[20:51] Sariphi
Nope. I've never been better!
[20:53] Clops
Thank goodness!
[20:55] Cy
Good! Good!
[20:56] Sariphi
Thanks, you two!
[20:58] Sariphi
Listen, sire.
[20:59] Sariphi
I want to learn more about
this land. About Ozmargo.
[21:04] Sariphi
I want to see its people with my own eyes.
[21:09] Leonhart
That may not be easy for a human like you.
[21:14] Sariphi
I'll be fine. It's the land I'm
going to live in with you, sire.
[21:19] Sariphi
And I have this now.
[21:22] Leonhart
If you use that ring and give
your body time to adjust,
[21:27] Leonhart
even a human should slowly develop
an immunity to the miasma.
[21:31] Leonhart
Once that happens,
you can remove that thing.
[21:34] Leonhart
Tolerate the inconvenience until—
[21:36] Sariphi
Sire,
[21:38] Sariphi
do you know what putting a ring on your
left ring finger means in human lands?
[21:47] Sariphi
Well, you see,
[21:49] Sariphi
it's a token of a promise
to stay together forever.
[23:25] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:27] Anubis
You leave me no choice but to summon
princesses from far and wide!
[23:30] Anubis
Once of them will be chosen
as our formal queen to—
[23:32] Sariphi
Princesses?!
[23:33] Sariphi
I bet they're all gorgeous! And lovely, too!
[23:36] Sariphi
I can't wait!
[23:37] Clops
It wouldn't hurt you to show some concern.

[00:01] Clops
Sariphi, why did you suddenly ask to see
portraits of the late king and queen?
[00:07] Sariphi
Huh? Oh, well...
[00:11] Sariphi
Leonhart is half human,
and his dad was king before him,
[00:17] Sariphi
so I thought he must have gotten
his human blood from his mom.
[00:21] Clops
Once you're queen, your picture
will be up there, too, Sari.
[00:24] Sariphi
Huh?
[00:26] Sariphi
Could I really be queen?
[00:34] Sariphi
Cy!
[00:35] Vivian
Goodness. Please excuse my discourtesy.
[00:38] Vivian
Lady Sariphi, I presume?
[00:40] Sariphi
Oh, y-yes.
[00:43] Vivian
I've heard so much about you.
[00:45] Vivian
I am Vivian, Princess of Bizond.
[00:49] Sariphi
N-Nice to meet you.
[00:51] Vivian
Be that as it may,
[00:53] Vivian
you're even more charming than
I expected of His Majesty's mistress.
[00:57] Vivian
I've begun to fear for my own chances.
[01:01] Sariphi
What for?
[01:02] Vivian
You see,
[01:05] Vivian
I've come to ask His Majesty's
hand in marriage.
SIGN The Feline and Reptile Princesses
[01:17] Speaker A
S-Sire, please...
[01:19] Speaker B
Please calm yourself.
[01:20] Leonhart
Silence!
[01:22] Leonhart
I am your king! Who approved
this without consulting me?!
[01:27] Anubis
I did, Your Majesty.
[01:29] Leonhart
Anubis...
[01:30] Anubis
Begging your pardon, but since
Lady Sariphi's debut banquet,
[01:35] Anubis
we have been inundated with protests
and questions from all quarters.
[01:39] Anubis
If you take a human queen as things stand,
[01:43] Anubis
mending relations with the slighted
peers may prove impossible.
[01:49] Anubis
Naturally, I am well aware that you have
always rejected all offers of marriage.
[01:57] Anubis
However,
[01:58] Anubis
if you would at least give your
potential brides an audience...
[02:01] Clops
We'll never stand for it!
[02:04] Clops
Sariphi will be His Majesty's queen!
[02:07] Cy
Queen!
[02:08] Vivian
I quite understand that, of course.
[02:10] Vivian
However...
[02:11] Kora
Why, Princess Vivian.
[02:13] Vivian
Princess Kora. And Princess Alba, too.
[02:16] Alba
It's been too long.
[02:19] Alba
Let us speak later.
[02:23] Vivian
Each of us was sent here with the
hopes of a nation on her shoulders.
[02:29] Vivian
How are we to face our countrymen unless
His Majesty at least makes us concubines?
[02:36] Vivian
Oh, I beg your pardon.
[02:38] Vivian
How could I discuss such things
before our future queen?
[02:42] Vivian
I'm so glad we had the pleasure of speaking.
[02:44] Vivian
Now, if you'll excuse me.
[02:53] Sariphi
You startled me!
[02:54] Sariphi
You don't need to shout so loud.
[02:57] Leonhart
I wouldn't shout if you weren't so baffling.
[03:00] Leonhart
What did you just say?
[03:01] Sariphi
I said, I want you to meet these
princesses and really talk with them.
[03:07] Leonhart
It's a waste of time.
[03:09] Leonhart
I'll never take a concubine, and I
won't meet with these princesses.
[03:14] Sariphi
That's awful.
[03:15] Sariphi
You can't send them home
without even seeing them.
[03:18] Leonhart
Anubis arranged this on his own initiative.
[03:22] Leonhart
I never asked for it.
[03:24] Sariphi
But I think the chancellor has a good point.
[03:30] Sariphi
You have so much trouble to deal with
because of a human—because of me.
[03:35] Sariphi
You shouldn't upset important people
more than you can help.
[03:39] Leonhart
Then... do you realize what it would mean
[03:43] Leonhart
if I were to humor the nobility
and take concubines?
[03:48] Sariphi
What it would mean?
[03:50] Sariphi
Even I know what a concubine is,
more or less.
[03:54] Leonhart
These are shrewd, ambitious women
who chose a direct approach.
[03:59] Leonhart
If I keep them close, they may eventually
threaten your place as queen.
[04:05] Sariphi
If one of them would be
more help to His Majesty...
[04:10] Sariphi
I wouldn't mi—
[04:14] Leonhart
Do you honestly mean that?
[04:18] Sariphi
Well, I don't want to hold you back.
[04:23] Leonhart
Are you implying that I'm too
weak a king to support you?
SIGN Hmph
[04:30] Sariphi
I'm saying no such thing!
[04:32] Sariphi
You're acting weird today, sire!
[04:33] Leonhart
You're the odd one!
[04:35] Leonhart
I'm done discussing this matter with you.
[04:38] Leonhart
Shut your mouth and go to sleep!
[04:42] Sariphi
I've had it!
[04:43] Clops
What were you thinking?!
[04:45] Sariphi
I mean, the king is just so stubborn!
[04:48] Clops
B-But he'll give us a real tongue-lashing
if he finds out we hid you.
[04:54] Cy
Tongue-lashing!
[04:56] Sariphi
Don't worry. His Majesty wouldn't
lose his temper for no...
[05:01] Sariphi
That's right. He wouldn't.
[05:03] Sariphi
So what was he so angry about earlier?
[05:06] Sariphi
I don't need to be queen.
I just want to stay with him.
[05:12] Sariphi
Is that not good enough?
[05:16] Sariphi
I think I'll have another talk
with the king after all.
[05:24] Leonhart
I trust you realize what it means
to set foot in my chamber.
[05:31] Vivian
But of course, Your Majesty.
[05:34] Vivian
I realize I'm being impertinent.
[05:36] Vivian
But while powerful wards
normally protect your chamber,
[05:41] Vivian
for some reason, it is defenseless tonight.
[05:44] Vivian
I believe I know exactly
what that signifies.
[05:49] Vivian
Please, don't look so fearsome.
[05:52] Vivian
I understand how deeply Your
Majesty cares for Lady Sariphi.
[05:57] Vivian
But after all,
[05:59] Vivian
Your Majesty is still a gentleman.
[06:01] Vivian
You must require a concubine or two.
[06:05] Vivian
I mean, you can hardly make love
like this with a human lady, can you?
[06:11] Leonhart
Do you realize what it would mean
if I were to take a concubine?
[06:16] Sariphi
I know. I don't mind.
[06:18] (Flashback) Vivian
...you can hardly make love like this...
[06:20] Sariphi
As long as I can stay with him, I don't...
[06:23] (Flashback) Vivian
...with a human lady...
[06:27] Sariphi
No!
[06:33] Sariphi
I... I'm sorry!
[06:35] Sariphi
I didn't mean to intrude!
[06:37] Vivian
My, how hasty Lady Sariphi is.
[06:40] Vivian
Now, sire, let us continue.
[06:42] Leonhart
Indeed.
[06:44] Leonhart
Due to an unwanted guest,
I missed the one I was truly expecting.
[06:48] Leonhart
Begone. Never show your unseemly
ambition in my presence again!
[06:54] Vivian
B-By your leave, sire!
[07:00] Sariphi
Cy, Clops.
[07:02] Sariphi
Let me sleep here tonight, after all.
[07:04] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[07:06] Sariphi
I'm sorry I woke you.
[07:07] Sariphi
Come on, go back to sleep.
[07:10] Sariphi
Why do I feel this way?
[07:11] Sariphi
It stings, like I got something
sharp caught in my throat.
[07:20] Kora
I never dreamed I'd one day
share breakfast with Your Majesty.
[07:23] Alba
Yes, it's an incredible honor.
SIGN AWKWARD SILENCE
[07:32] Sariphi
I couldn't look him in the eye.
[07:36] Sariphi
I ought to be thanking him for
meeting the princesses like this.
[07:41] Sariphi
And...
[07:42] Kora
Goodness, is Princess Vivian still abed?
[07:46] Sariphi
After yesterday...
[07:48] Kora
Sire, you simply must
visit my native kingdom.
[07:51] Kora
We have so many splendid works of art.
[07:54] Alba
Oh, if it's beauty you're after,
my homeland is rich in currant rubies.
[07:58] Leonhart
I am dining. Still your tongues.
[08:05] Amit
Oh, I beg your pardon!
[08:08] Kora
Goodness, who's she?
[08:10] Alba
Amit, the sixth princess of Murga.
[08:13] Kora
Even those unsightly Reptilians seek
the king's hand? How shameless.
[08:19] Sariphi
Are you all right?
[08:21] Sariphi
Did you hurt yourself?
[08:23] Sariphi
You should take in some air outside.
[08:25] Sariphi
Come on.
[08:26] Anubis
What?!
[08:27] Anubis
Leaving during a meal is
the height of discourtesy!
[08:29] Leonhart
Never mind.
[08:31] Leonhart
Let her do as she pleases.
[08:34] Sariphi
Are you all right, um... Amit?
[08:38] Amit
P-Please forgive me, Lady Sariphi.
I didn't mean to trouble you.
[08:43] Sariphi
Oh, I'm no one special.
[08:45] Amit
No, you're inspiring, Lady Sariphi!
[08:49] Amit
You stand your ground
in the king's presence.
[08:53] Amit
I'm overcome with terror at the
mere sight of His Majesty.
[08:58] Clops
Princess Amit looks a lot scarier.
[09:01] Sariphi
If you're so scared of the king,
why ask to marry him?
[09:05] Amit
My homeland, Murga, is the
foremost Reptilian kingdom.
[09:09] Amit
And until just 200 years ago,
we were at war with Ozmargo.
[09:14] Sariphi
Two hundred years?
[09:15] Clops
Considering how long beasts live,
that's not such ancient history.
[09:19] Amit
As a relatively new vassal state,
we Reptilians face persecution.
[09:24] Amit
We'd assumed the king wouldn't
even give us the time of day,
[09:28] Amit
but then it seemed he might have,
um, peculiar tastes, so...
SIGN Peculiar tastes
[09:33] Sariphi
Ah.
SIGN Ah
[09:36] Amit
But it turns out I don't fit in after all.
[09:39] Amit
Not that he would ever have chosen me.
All my sisters are prettier than I am.
[09:44] Amit
Yet I'm forbidden to return home
without winning the king's heart,
[09:50] Amit
so I've essentially been exiled.
[09:54] Sariphi
That's awful!
[09:56] Amit
It's just how things are.
[09:57] Amit
Royal women must give themselves
for their kingdoms.
[10:02] Amit
I was born into shackles
I can't hope to escape.
[10:06] Amit
This has always been my fate.
[10:10] Vassal A
Have you heard? Our troops have
returned from the campaign in Gael.
[10:15] Vassal B
Then the Royal Guard has returned!
[10:17] Vassal C
Look there!
[10:21] Vassal C
It's Guard Captain Jormungand!
[10:25] Anubis
You've served well in this campaign.
Once you've made yourself presentable—
[10:30] Jormungand
Where is the king? I must report
the outcome of the expedition.
[10:33] Anubis
You fool!
[10:34] Anubis
Would you face His Majesty in
those travel-stained clothes?!
[10:38] Jormungand
You're as uptight as ever, Abi.
[10:43] Jormungand
Hm?
[10:45] Jormungand
You must be the human princess.
[10:48] Jormungand
Your reputation precedes you.
[10:50] Jormungand
I am Jormungand, captain of
His Majesty's Royal Guard.
[10:54] Jormungand
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[10:56] Sariphi
Th-The pleasure is mine. I'm Sariphi.
[11:01] Jormungand
I have sworn loyalty to His Majesty.
[11:04] Jormungand
If he wishes you to be his consort,
I will abide by his decision.
[11:10] Jormungand
Still, I have my reservations
about a human queen.
[11:15] Jormungand
Please perform your duties well,
[11:18] Jormungand
and disappoint neither
myself nor His Majesty.
[11:24] Jormungand
Now, excuse me.
[11:29] Sariphi
I was so nervous!
[11:31] Clops
Captain Jormungand is a commoner
who rose through the ranks.
[11:32] Anubis
Wait, I refuse to accept this girl as queen!
[11:34] Clops
He's one of the few soldiers
to have His Majesty's trust!
[11:36] Anubis
Listen! Listen to me, Jor!
[11:37] Cy
So cool!
[11:41] Sariphi
What's wrong, Amit?
[11:43] Amit
Oh, nothing. Only...
[11:46] Amit
Whenever I see the captain,
w-well, my heart skips a beat.
[11:54] Sariphi
Are you sick?!
[11:55] Clops
I don't think so.
[11:57] Amit
You see, it all started
when I was a little girl,
[12:02] Amit
during the first royal visit to Murga
since we became a vassal state.
[12:08] Amit
Everyone in Murga was eager
for a glimpse of the young king.
[12:12] Amit
And I...
[12:13] (Flashback) Amit's Sister
Out of the way, Amit!
[12:15] (Flashback) Amit's Sister
I must get His Majesty
to see me in this dress!
[12:18] Amit
Just then...
[12:19] (Flashback) Jormungand
Use this.
[12:21] (Flashback) Amit
Th-This is a Royal Guard scarf!
[12:24] (Flashback) Amit
It has the royal seal to show you
take orders only from His Majesty!
[12:29] (Flashback) Amit
I can't accept something so precious!
[12:32] (Flashback) Jormungand
His Majesty wishes his Royal
Guard to defend his kingdom.
[12:37] (Flashback) Jormungand
Every scrap of cloth I wear and drop of
blood in my veins belongs to its people.
[12:44] Amit
That was Captain Jormungand, although
he was a common guardsman at the time.
[12:51] Clops
What a man!
[12:53] Amit
I only met him that one time,
[12:56] Amit
so I doubt he even remembers me.
[13:00] Amit
But I longed to see him again
and return his scarf.
[13:05] Sariphi
And that's why you came to woo the king?
[13:09] Amit
Even I think I'm a fool.
[13:12] Amit
But I don't care how miserable
I end up if I can go to his side.
[13:18] Amit
That's what love is.
[13:23] Sariphi
Love, huh? I guess I
don't really understand.
[13:26] Amit
Oh, don't worry. You'll know
when your time comes.
[13:32] Amit
It's like the ringing of a bell.
[13:34] Amit
Your heart starts racing to
tell you that he's the one.
[13:40] Amit
Do you not know such a person?
[13:42] Amit
Someone who makes your cheeks
hot upon merely seeing him,
[13:45] Amit
and whose voice makes you tingle?
[13:48] Amit
And the sight of him becoming intimate
with another woman makes your heart ache?
[13:56] Amit
I take it you've thought of someone?
[13:59] Sariphi
I'm not sure.
[14:00] Sariphi
We're kind of fighting right now.
[14:02] Amit
Oh, dear! That absolutely won't do!
[14:04] Amit
You need to make up as soon as you can!
[14:07] Amit
No matter how much your heart aches,
you mustn't ignore how you feel.
[14:12] Amit
Stand your ground, confront him,
and tell him frankly how you feel.
[14:18] Sariphi
Um...
[14:19] Amit
I understand! Your love is a
secret from the king, isn't it?!
[14:22] Amit
Have no fear! I'm on your side!
[14:25] Sariphi
Well...
[14:27] Amit
From this day forth, we are the
League of Maidens in Love!
[14:30] Clops
Sari's overwhelmed. I don't really
get it, but I'm impressed.
[14:31] Amit
Please say it with me! Ready?
[14:33] Amit
We are the League of Maidens in Love!
[14:34] Cy
Scary.
[14:34] Sariphi
...In love.
[14:36] Amit
Once more!
[14:36] Kora
What is that Reptilian princess thinking,
fawning over the human?
[14:37] Amit; Sariphi
We are the League of Maidens in Love!
[14:41] Alba
Since she can't win the king's affection,
[14:43] Alba
she must mean to curry favor
with the human instead.
[14:46] Kora
What base cunning.
She needs to learn her place.
[14:51] Sariphi
Cy, Clops, do I really need to attend, too?
[14:55] Clops
Of course you do!
[14:56] Clops
His Majesty is holding a banquet
to recognize Captain Jor tonight!
[15:01] Clops
And the festivities can't
start without our queen!
[15:04] Sariphi
Huh?
[15:05] Sariphi
What's wrong, Amit?
[15:07] Sariphi
The banquet's about to...
[15:10] Sariphi
Your dress is in shreds!
How did this happen?!
[15:14] Amit
W-Well, you see...
[15:17] Kora
My, Reptilian formal wear is quite daring.
[15:21] Sariphi
Don't tell me you did this!
[15:24] Amit
It's all right, Lady Sariphi.
[15:25] Sariphi
But tonight is...
[15:27] Amit
I know. Captain Jormungand
will attend this banquet.
[15:33] Amit
I had dreamed that I might
share a word with him.
[15:39] Amit
But the worlds we live in
are just too far apart.
[15:44] Amit
This is my punishment for
having ideas above my station.

[15:48] Amit
L-L-Lady Sariphi?!
[15:50] Sariphi
It is not all right!
[15:52] Sariphi
You came all this way to see
the captain, didn't you?
[15:55] Sariphi
Then don't let a little
thing like this beat you.
[15:58] Sariphi
You want to be with him, no matter what.
[16:01] Sariphi
Isn't that what love is?
[16:05] Anubis
We honor the safe return and illustrious
achievements of Captain Jormungand.
[16:14] Anubis
Girl, what became of the formal
wear I had prepared for you?
[16:17] Sariphi
The hem caught on something and ripped.
[16:19] Anubis
What?! And you had the gall to come anyway?
[16:25] Kora
Say, I don't see Princess Amit.
[16:29] Alba
She's probably too busy
deciding what to wear.
[16:33] Amit
I... I'm so sorry for my lateness.
[16:39] Amit
U-Um...
[16:42] Amit
Oh, I can't!
[16:43] Amit
I'm hopeless.
[16:45] Sariphi
You can do it, Amit!
[16:47] (Flashback) Sariphi
I promise. If you can work up
your courage, then...
[16:54] Amit
For you.
[16:57] Jormungand
Is this...
[17:02] Jormungand
I hardly recognized you, my little lady.
[17:08] Sariphi
Way to go, Amit.
[17:10] Sariphi
I'll be brave, too.
[17:11] Maid
Here you are.
[17:12] Sariphi
Oh, thank you.
[17:13] Sariphi
I'll face these feelings I can't name.
[17:19] Sariphi
Vivian...
[17:21] Sariphi
I thought she looked at me just now.
Maybe I imagined it?
[17:26] Sariphi
I feel... dizzy...
[17:34] Sariphi
Huh? What am I doing here?
[17:38] Vivian
How do you feel?
[17:40] Vivian
It appears you were suddenly taken ill.
[17:45] Sariphi
I'm fine now.
[17:46] Vivian
Really? That's a shame.
[17:50] Vivian
Perhaps I should have
presented stronger liquor.
[17:55] Vivian
Say, would you kindly make way for me?
[17:59] Sariphi
Huh?
[18:00] Sariphi
Um... What do you—
[18:02] Vivian
Be quiet!
[18:03] Vivian
I've controlled all manner
of men with my body.
[18:07] Vivian
Yet the king refused to so much as touch me!
[18:13] Vivian
I've never been so humiliated!
[18:15] Vivian
Royal women are scorned as wastes of
space unless they're politically useful.
[18:21] Vivian
I won't stand for it!
[18:23] Vivian
The idiot king who fell for a human
is the truly worthless one!
[18:28] Vivian
What is he good for, except as my puppet?!
[18:31] Vivian
So... just disappear!
[18:36] Sariphi
Even if I weren't here,
[18:39] Sariphi
I know His Majesty would
never keep you by his side.
[18:45] Sariphi
The king just isn't that kind of person.
[18:49] Sariphi
You see, he suffers under the weight
of his authority more than anyone.
[18:54] Sariphi
But he tries to hide that from
everyone and be a strong king.
[18:58] Sariphi
He does it for all his people.
[19:01] Sariphi
And because His Majesty is like that,
[19:04] Sariphi
even if I can't be his queen,
I'll never stand aside for you!
[19:10] Vivian
Why, you...
[19:12] Amit
Run, Lady Sariphi! Hurry!
[19:16] Sariphi
Amit!
[19:20] Vivian
Even the Reptilian stands in my way?
[19:23] Vivian
You lesser races never know when to stop!
[19:33] Sariphi
Sire!
[19:36] Leonhart
Have you forgotten what I said last night?
[19:39] Vivian
P-Please forgive me!
[19:41] Vivian
B-But I had no other choice.
[19:45] Vivian
I can't survive without
Your Majesty's affection.
[19:49] Vivian
I beg you, please have mercy!
[19:51] Leonhart
Silence!
[19:52] Leonhart
This is your final warning!
[19:54] Leonhart
Never show your hideous self
in my presence again!
[20:03] Leonhart
Are you all right?
[20:06] Leonhart
That spoiled the evening.
[20:08] Leonhart
You needn't return to the banquet.
Rest in my chamber.
[20:12] Sariphi
Sire.
[20:15] Sariphi
Thank you for taking the
time to meet them all.
[20:19] Sariphi
And I'm sorry. This is all my fault.
[20:23] Leonhart
This banquet was my idea.
[20:26] Leonhart
Anubis insists I humor the nobility
occasionally. I merely saw his point.
[20:32] Leonhart
And... I spoke too harshly
last night. Forgive me.
[20:43] Anubis
So in the end, none of the princesses
managed to move the king's heart.
[20:48] Amit
Oh, my, Lord Chancellor.
What brings you to the palace outskirts?
[20:53] Anubis
Wh-Why, Princess Amit.
[20:56] Anubis
What are you still doing here?
[20:58] Amit
I received special permission
to stay on as Lady Sariphi's friend.
[21:06] Amit
His Majesty called it my
reward for defending her.
[21:09] Anubis
What?!
[21:11] Amit
I baked mandragora scones
for a late-night snack.
[21:14] Amit
Would you care for one?
[21:16] Anubis
N-No, thank you.
[21:18] Amit
I see. Then excuse me.
[21:22] Anubis
All I've done is give
the wench another ally!
[21:27] Leonhart
Sariphi, you needn't pity
or sympathize with her.
[21:33] Leonhart
Princesses Amit, Vivian, and the rest
all knew the risks of what they did.
[21:38] Sariphi
I know. I need to be more prepared, too.
[21:43] Sariphi
For what it means to stay by the king's side.
[21:47] Leonhart
Then remember this:
[21:50] Leonhart
I need neither concubines
nor any other women.
[21:54] Leonhart
The only woman I desire is you, Sariphi.
[22:00] Amit
A bell.
[22:01] Amit
It's like the ringing of a bell,
[22:03] Amit
telling you that he's the one.
[22:09] Sariphi
Huh?
[22:12] Leonhart
Sari, what's come over you?
[22:14] Sariphi
It's cold out today!
And you're so fluffy, sire!
[22:17] Leonhart
The weather seems ordinary to me.
[22:20] Sariphi
I don't get it.
[22:21] Leonhart
Well, no matter.
[22:24] Leonhart
Stay that way as long as you like.
[22:27] Sariphi
Maybe I'll figure it out someday,
[22:30] Sariphi
if I can stay beside this warmth.
[23:25] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:27] Anubis
You turn my every ploy against me!
[23:29] Anubis
If this continues, my position will—
[23:31] Anubis
What?! What is this strange menace I sense?!
[23:34] Amit
Would you care for a scone, Lord Chancellor?

[00:03] Sariphi
Sweet goodness!
[00:05] Amit
Sugary treats make the best
breaks from studying.
[00:09] Amit
I hope you enjoy my Dionaea mille-feuille.
[00:13] Sariphi
It's sweet and delicious!
[00:15] Sariphi
I never knew you were so
good at making desserts.
[00:18] Amit
I lack magical power, but at the very least,
I've been able to perfect my favorite treats.
[00:24] Amit
When I bake with love,
even I can make people smile.
[00:29] Amit
It makes me so glad.
[00:31] Sariphi
Really?
[00:33] Sariphi
Then these pastries must be your magic.
[00:36] Sariphi
That's why they're so good.
[00:39] Amit
My! And your words are like
magic to me, Lady Sariphi!
[00:45] Sariphi
Would you teach me to bake today?
[00:48] Amit
But of course!
[00:50] Amit
Is there a gentleman for whom
you'd like to make a treat?
[00:58] Amit
Oh, Lady Sariphi! You're simply charming!
[01:01] Amit
I could just gobble you up!
[01:03] Amit
Munch, munch!
[01:05] Amit
Munch, munch, munch!
[01:05] Jormungand
Something smells pleasant.
[01:08] Cy; Clops
Captain Jormungand!
[01:11] Amit
C-Captain Jormungand! U-Um...
[01:16] Amit
Would you care for one?
[01:18] Jormungand
Why, Princess Amit.
[01:20] Jormungand
While I am honored, I must train soon.
[01:24] Jormungand
Human lady, I have business with you.
SIGN The Holy Beast of Immortality and Rebirth
[03:06] Sariphi
A royal council?
[03:08] Jormungand
Yes. The king and his chief vassals
have convened in the council chamber.
[03:14] Jormungand
Chancellor Anubis requested
that I escort you to join them.
[03:20] Sariphi
The chancellor asked for me?
[03:22] Jormungand
About Abi...
[03:24] Jormungand
I know he has a sharp tongue.
[03:27] Jormungand
I can't blame you for resenting him.
[03:30] Jormungand
But all he does, he does to defend the king.
[03:35] Jormungand
The line of Anubis has existed to serve
the royal family for generations.
[03:40] Jormungand
He would do anything to
protect the king's throne.
[03:46] Jormungand
Even if that meant defying the king's will.
[03:51] Anubis
I wish to receive the Lady
Sariphi as our formal queen.
[03:56] Leonhart
What are you playing at, Anubis?
[04:00] Anubis
Sire, I merely considered your
strong feelings on this matter.
[04:04] Anubis
However, I do wish to impose
certain conditions.
[04:09] Leonhart
What?
[04:10] Anubis
I realize that we should not presume
to test our future queen.
[04:15] Anubis
That said,
[04:17] Anubis
to present the people with a human,
a former sacrifice of no noble rank,
[04:22] Anubis
would sow disorder in the realm.
[04:25] Anubis
Lady Sariphi must make herself the most
accomplished consort in our history.
[04:31] Anubis
Hence the conditions I propose.
[04:35] Anubis
The first of these
[04:38] Anubis
is that Lady Sariphi must learn
to command a holy beast.
[04:45] Anubis
Queens traditionally forge a pact
with a holy beast when they marry.
[04:52] Anubis
Commanding one of these divine messengers
is a symbol of royal authority.
[04:59] Leonhart
But Sariphi has no magical power.
If she were to do such a thing,
[05:04] Leonhart
it would consume her life instead.
[05:08] Leonhart
You must know that.
[05:11] Leonhart
And that isn't all.
[05:14] Leonhart
If she mistakenly summons a wicked demon,
[05:19] Leonhart
then it will claim her,
since she lacks the power to resist,
[05:23] Leonhart
and she'll wander hell for eternity,
unable even to die.
[05:31] Anubis
For that reason, we will
not force the issue.
[05:35] Anubis
Lady Sariphi is free to decide.
[05:38] Anubis
Will you accept these trials or not?
[05:40] Anubis
The choice is yours.
[05:45] Leonhart
Out of the question!
[05:46] Leonhart
I need not entertain such base proposals.
[05:50] Leonhart
My queen is mine to choose!
[05:54] Sariphi
Your Majesty.
[05:55] Leonhart
Strike today's council from your memory.
[05:58] Leonhart
I swear that I'll make them accept you.
[06:01] Leonhart
I'll let no one stand between us.
[06:05] Sariphi
But...
[06:07] (Flashback) Anubis
...would sow disorder in the realm.
[06:09] (Flashback) Jormungand
But all he does, he does to defend the king.
[06:14] Leonhart
Don't dwell on matters
that don't concern you.
[06:17] Leonhart
I will keep you safe.
[06:24] Clops
Don't worry, Sariphi!
[06:26] Clops
You don't need to endanger yourself!
His Majesty will sort it out!
[06:30] Clops
And we'll protect you, too!
[06:33] Cy
Protect!
[06:34] Sariphi
Thank you.
[06:35] Sariphi
Why are the two of you so good to me?
[06:39] Clops
His Majesty rescued us.
[06:42] Clops
We're the runts of the Cyclopian Clan.
[06:45] Clops
It takes two of us to do one beast's job.
[06:47] Clops
But the king gave us honest work
doing odd jobs around the palace.
[06:52] Clops
What matters to His Majesty
matters to us, too!
[06:57] Clops
Besides...
[06:59] Clops
You're nice to us, Sari,
so we c-care about you!
[07:06] Cy
Care about Sari!
[07:11] Jormungand
Don't relax just because this is
training! Watch your opponent!
[07:15] Jormungand
Wild sword strokes will
never strike the foe!
[07:18] Sariphi
Everyone is choosing to do their parts.
[07:23] Sariphi
They all care about the king
in their own ways.
[07:28] Sariphi
So...
[07:30] Sariphi
So what do I do?
[07:32] Sariphi
His Majesty might get in trouble
and lose a lot because of me.
[07:42] Sariphi
That makes me the only one being protected.
[07:46] Sariphi
The only one.
[07:48] (Flashback) Anubis
This girl is the latest offering.
[07:51] (Flashback) Anubis
The 99th sacrifice.
[07:55] (Flashback) Leonhart
I've eaten you.
[07:57] (Flashback) Leonhart
Now you belong to me.
[08:00] Sariphi
I need to be more prepared, too.
[08:03] Sariphi
For what it means to stay
by the king's side.
[08:13] Anubis
I hereby witness that you have
sealed this pledge in blood.
[08:18] Leonhart
Sariphi! What is the meaning of this?!
[08:22] Sariphi
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
[08:24] Sariphi
But I've made up my mind.
[08:27] Sariphi
I've been doing my best to think
of ways I can help you,
[08:32] Sariphi
and I've finally found one.
[08:34] Sariphi
This is the right thing for me to do now.
[08:38] Sariphi
I need to win everyone's acceptance.
[08:42] Sariphi
That will protect the king.
[08:46] Sariphi
So...
[08:48] Sariphi
I offer you my life.
[08:55] Amit
She'll give her life force in place of magic?
[08:58] Amit
W-Will that really be safe for Lady Sariphi?
[09:03] Clops
That's not the only risk.
[09:05] Clops
If she slips up and summons a wicked demon,
[09:08] Clops
it'll possess her, and awful things will happen.
[09:11] Cy
Awful!
[09:19] Sariphi
Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
tekitelemau, uyuriti,
[09:25] Sariphi
niyono, kogashtawa, izansono,
[09:30] Sariphi
tanagaleso, itoutla...
[09:32] Sariphi
All my strength is... draining away.
[09:33] Sariphi
...kadata, nahwatanar.
[09:42] Amit
Lady Sariphi!
[09:43] Amit
Wh-What just happened?
[09:45] Clops
She stopped before finishing the incantation.
[09:48] Clops
When the spell fails,
it rebounds on the caster.
[09:54] Sariphi
So this is what happens when I mess up.
[09:58] Sariphi
I feel so exhausted,
[10:00] Sariphi
like I really did have
the life sucked out of me.
[10:05] Sariphi
But this is no time to lose heart.
[10:09] Sariphi
I've only just started.
[10:11] Sariphi
I'll do it this time.
[10:13] Sariphi
Telek, tekitelemau, uyuriti...
[10:17] Clops
Sariphi!
[10:20] Sariphi
I can't move.
[10:23] Sariphi
Maybe the king was right,
and I really can't do this.
[10:28] Leonhart
You can't complete that trial.
[10:31] (Flashback) Leonhart
I swore that I would make you my queen.
[10:34] (Flashback) Leonhart
Why did you do this without consulting me?!
[10:37] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'm sorry, but I'm the only one
who you just protect.
[10:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'm the only one who can't do anything,
[10:44] (Flashback) Sariphi
and I'm sick of it.
[10:47] Sariphi
I made up my mind
[10:50] Sariphi
that I'd do whatever I could, too.
[10:55] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[10:56] Amit
Should she really be doing this
after she collapsed yesterday?
[11:02] Clops
A human can't perform the rite of
summoning more than twice a day.
[11:08] Clops
If she keeps failing, she'll be in danger.
[11:12] Sariphi
I drew the magic circle right.
[11:15] Sariphi
Now I just need to be careful
with the incantation.
[11:19] Sariphi
Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
tekitelemau, uyuriti...
[11:27] Cy
Sari!
[11:30] Jormungand
If you wish to visit the human lady,
I cannot let you pass.
[11:36] Amit
B-But I truly fear for Lady Sariphi's safety!
[11:40] Jormungand
If she has accepted the risks,
[11:43] Jormungand
then those who watch over her must, as well.
[11:49] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[11:52] Sariphi
I have to keep trying.
[11:56] Sariphi
I've accepted the risks.
[11:58] Sariphi
No matter how reckless this is
or how it turns out,
[12:03] Sariphi
I won't let that stop me!
[12:04] Sariphi
Niyono, kogashtawa, izansono, tanagaleso...
[12:09] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[12:17] Sariphi
Sire?
[12:19] Anubis
What are you doing, sire?
[12:22] Anubis
The pledge states that she will not
seek aid under any circumstances.
[12:28] Anubis
And even you, sire, are no exception.
[12:32] Leonhart
I'm not aiding her. I'm merely
granting her a brief rest.
[12:36] Anubis
Unacceptable.
[12:37] Anubis
If you insist on such tortured logic,
[12:40] Anubis
I must consider that she has
abandoned this trial and...
[12:46] Leonhart
I have not broken the terms,
so I will not have my actions questioned.
[12:52] Leonhart
Today's attempt is at an end.
[12:57] Sariphi
Wait, sire.
[13:00] Sariphi
I'm fine.
[13:02] Leonhart
You've done all you can.
[13:05] Leonhart
If you continue, you truly will die.
[13:10] Sariphi
My life was always meant to be sacrificed.
[13:16] Sariphi
I'm not the least bit scared of dying.
[13:20] Leonhart
Fool!
[13:22] Leonhart
Do not forget.
[13:24] Leonhart
Your life was offered up to me.
[13:29] Leonhart
It is my property.
[13:31] Leonhart
Don't make me lose you!
[13:42] Sariphi
Sire...
[13:47] Anubis
Why, Lady Sariphi.
[13:49] Anubis
I didn't see you for a whole day,
so I assumed you had fled from...
[14:02] Sariphi
What have I been doing all this time?
[14:07] Sariphi
Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
tekitelemau, uyuriti,
[14:12] Sariphi
niyono, kogashtawa, izansono...
[14:19] Amit
Could this be... success?!
[14:21] Clops
She hadn't finished the incantation!
[14:24] Jormungand
But it's clearly different
from her previous failures.
[14:28] Anubis
She and her garments aren't burning.
These fell flames consume her within.
[14:34] Anubis
Has the wench summoned
a wicked demon at last?!
[14:38] Sariphi
When I gave up my life for the king,
[14:44] Sariphi
did I want to make him look
like that from now on?
[14:50] Sariphi
No.
[14:57] Sariphi
...tanagaleso, itoutla, kadata, nahwatanar!
[15:02] Anubis
What?!
[15:04] Leonhart
Yes!
[15:06] Leonhart
A holy beast bonds with its master's soul.
[15:10] Leonhart
Those whose hearts are wicked or weak
[15:15] Leonhart
and those who deny the future
cannot behold them.
[15:18] Leonhart
Have hope!
[15:20] Sariphi
I need to live! With His Majesty—with Leo!
[15:34] Sariphi
C-Could this be...
[15:39] Sariphi
...a holy beast?
[15:42] Sariphi
It's smaller than I expected.
[15:50] Leonhart
Well done, Sariphi.
[15:53] Sariphi
Thanks.
[15:59] Bennu
What're you staring at me for?
You wanna throw down?
[16:02] Bennu
I'll beat your stupid,
ugly mugs black and blue.
[16:05] Clops
I can't make out a word you're saying.
[16:08] Clops
This meal was supposed to help
get Sari's strength back!
[16:12] Cy
No eat!
[16:13] Sariphi
It's all right, Cy, Clops.
[16:16] Sariphi
He came all the way here for me.
[16:20] Sariphi
Although...
[16:22] Bennu
You think this cheap grub is good
enough for me, lunkheads?
[16:26] Sariphi
...he's awfully rude.
[16:28] Bennu
I ain't just any holy beast.
[16:33] Bennu
Only I have the powers
of immortality and rebirth.
[16:38] Bennu
You can call me Bennu the Great,
the one and only phoenix.
[16:42] Sariphi
Phoenix?
[16:43] Bennu
I may not be much to look at now,
[16:46] Bennu
but I was once a sacred bird
with gold and scarlet plumage.
[16:50] Bennu
People called me the most beautiful
and sublime holy beast out there.
[16:55] Sariphi
Wow, Mr. Phoenix! That's amazing!
[16:59] Bennu
You bet. A big shot like me is wasted
on a little human girlie like you.
[17:04] Bennu
Now that you know, show me some
reverence, you brainless dolt.
[17:08] Anubis
That is the fabled phoenix?
[17:10] Cy; Clops
Lord Anubis!
[17:12] Anubis
I beg your pardon, Lady Sariphi,
but that scrawny, vulgar creature
[17:17] Bennu
Hey! Watch it!
[17:17] Anubis
can hardly be the phoenix,
a divine messenger.
[17:19] Bennu
Who're you calling a
"scrawny, vulgar creature"?!
[17:21] Sariphi
But that's what he says he is.
[17:21] Bennu
Say that again! I dare you!
[17:23] Bennu
Hey, dog-breath! You making fun of me?!
[17:26] Bennu
I'm the phoenix! I've lived a
hundred times longer than you!
[17:30] Bennu
I'll knock your block off, jackass!
[17:30] Amit
Lady Sariphi, can you understand
what the holy beast is saying?
[17:33] Bennu
Don't look down your nose
at me from way up there!
[17:34] Sariphi
Yup. He's been talking this whole time.
[17:36] Bennu
I want grub!
[17:39] Anubis
Admittedly, holy beasts can be
understood only by their summoners,
[17:44] Anubis
but my issue is not with
the truth of the matter.
[17:47] Anubis
I want to know if the people will accept...
that as the holy beast of their queen.
[17:54] Anubis
That beast could not possibly
appear less phoenix-like.
[17:57] Anubis
It won't do, unless by some miracle
it were to assume a more regal form.
[18:05] Anubis
But that hardly seems likely.
[18:07] Anubis
That sorry excuse for a bird can't even fly.
[18:14] Speaker A
Chancellor! Was it wise to say that?
If by some chance...
[18:18] Anubis
Have no fear.
[18:20] Anubis
That holy beast appears to have long
since exhausted its sacred power.
[18:24] Anubis
It is but a shell of its former self.
[18:26] Speaker B
B-But even so...
[18:29] Anubis
If you are so concerned, why not devise
a plan of your own on occasion?
[18:37] Sariphi
Okay, Mr. Phoenix,
[18:39] Sariphi
follow my lead.
[18:41] Bennu
What's that fancy getup for, girlie?
[18:45] Sariphi
I just made it in a hurry.
[18:48] Sariphi
Baby birds learn to fly by
watching their parents, right?
[18:53] Bennu
Who're you calling a baby?!
[18:55] Sariphi
All right, watch closely!
[18:58] Bennu
Hold it, featherbrain!
[19:02] Sariphi
N-Now you try.
[19:05] Bennu
Like hell I will!
[19:07] Sariphi
Okay, I'll fan you, so ride the breeze!
[19:11] Bennu
I'm just getting blown around, you moron!
[19:16] Amit
I hope Lady Sariphi will be all right.
[19:19] Amit
She's hasn't even fully recovered yet.
[19:24] Bennu
Time out! I quit!
[19:27] Sariphi
Mr. Phoenix...
[19:28] Bennu
I'm fed up with this crap!
[19:31] Bennu
I know better than anybody.
[19:33] Bennu
I used up all my power.
I'm just a chicken carcass now.
[19:40] (Flashback) Beast Soldier A
Is that it for your power of rebirth?!
[19:42] (Flashback) Beast Soldier B
The battlefield's still littered
with wounded soldiers!
[19:45] (Flashback) Beast Soldier C
Shield me!
[19:47] (Flashback) Beast Soldier D
You're immortal, right?!
[19:50] Bennu
I'll never be able to fly again.
[19:53] Bennu
But so what?! Being grounded won't kill me!
[19:58] Sariphi
I'm sorry, Mr. Phoenix.
[20:01] Sariphi
I shouldn't have pushed you.
[20:04] Sariphi
I thought that, in truth, you wanted
to fly more than anyone else.
[20:10] Sariphi
But please don't put yourself
down as you are now.
[20:14] Sariphi
I had nothing,
[20:17] Sariphi
but still, you came to me.
[20:20] (Flashback) Leonhart
Well done.
[20:21] Sariphi
You gave me so much confidence.
[20:25] Sariphi
Even if you're a bit small,
even if you can't fly,
[20:29] Sariphi
to me, you're a magnificent holy beast.
[20:36] Sariphi
Mr. Phoenix, it's breakfast time!
[20:41] Sariphi
Is that...
[20:48] Sariphi
Mr. Phoenix?
[20:52] Assassin A
C-Can we really get away with this, boss?
[20:56] Assassin A
Sneaking into the royal palace and...
[20:59] Assassin B
Just shut up and keep watch!
[21:01] Assassin B
Killing this one lousy bird pays enough
for us to live on for half a year.
[21:05] Assassin B
Easiest money I ever heard of.
[21:09] Bennu
Why the hell am I doing this?
[21:12] Bennu
Who cares if I can't fly?
[21:15] Bennu
Who needs to look good?
[21:18] Bennu
This way, no one'll overwork me.
[21:22] Bennu
No one'll need me anymore.
[21:26] (Flashback) Beast Soldiers
This is the phoenix? What a joke.
[21:30] (Flashback) Beast Soldiers
We don't need this thing.
[21:34] Bennu
Now, no one...
[21:37] Bennu
No one...
[21:44] Sariphi
Mr. Phoenix!
[21:47] Sariphi
Hang in there!
[21:48] Sariphi
I know you can fly!
[21:55] Sariphi
Yes!
[21:59] Bennu
Wha?
[22:04] Bennu
I-Is she brain-dead?!
[22:07] Bennu
Who jumps to save a bird that can't die?!
[22:10] Bennu
You've gotta be the biggest idiot alive, you...
[22:14] Bennu
halfwit numbskull!
[22:24] Sariphi
M-Mr. Phoenix! You got your power back?!
[22:28] Sariphi
But how?
[22:29] Bennu
Moron. Immortality and rebirth
are mine to command.
[22:35] Bennu
As long as you believe in me,
I'll always come back.
[22:42] Guard
Wh-What's that?!
[22:43] Speaker A
I-It can't be!
[22:48] El
Mommy, a holy beast.
[22:50] Mal
Don't be silly. Holy beasts
only appear at festivals.
[22:55] Rog
El! We've got a customer.
[22:57] El
O-Okay.
[23:01] Bennu
Man, I haven't flown in ages.
Even you're heavy for me, girlie.
[23:06] Bennu
So get off, nincompoop!
[23:09] Sariphi
Huh?!
[23:10] Sariphi
As long as someone believes in me,
[23:17] Sariphi
I can be strong...
[23:21] Sariphi
as many times as it takes.
[23:30] Sariphi
I'll translate: "Bennu just
loves the chancellor!"
[23:34] Bennu
When did I say that, numbskull?!
Don't put words in my mouth!

[00:01] Anubis
The first requirement for queenship,
commanding a holy beast,
[00:07] Anubis
has been achieved with flying colors.
[00:09] Anubis
Lady Sariphi may attempt the next task at—
[00:12] Leonhart
Sariphi only just finished your ordeal.
[00:16] Leonhart
There is no need to rush her.
[00:19] Anubis
If you say so, sire.
[00:21] Anubis
I merely thought that Lady Sariphi would
wish to wed you as soon as possible.
[00:27] Leonhart
More importantly, Anubis, what have you
learned about the intruders in my palace?
[00:33] Anubis
Justice Set is putting them
to the question as we speak.
[00:38] Anubis
Such petty criminals could not
have entered without inside help.
[00:45] Anubis
We cannot overlook any
threat to Your Majesty.
[00:50] Set
Forgive me for interrupting this council,
but I have a report on that matter.
[00:55] Anubis
What is it, Set?
[00:56] Set
I put the scoundrels to the question,
as His Majesty commanded,
[01:01] Set
but both of them have just
taken their own lives.
[01:06] Anubis
This is unacceptable, Set!
[01:09] Set
My most humble apologies.
[01:11] Set
But please, have no fear.
[01:13] Set
I found no indication of any
mastermind behind their crimes.
[01:17] Set
We may safely assume that they
snuck in to burgle the palace.
[01:22] Set
They claimed—truly, I believe—to have
fired impulsively upon seeing a human.
[01:30] Set
Regrettably, the people hold humans
to be the most abominable of creatures.
[01:35] Set
Nevertheless, the lady is our future queen.
[01:38] Set
So, as a loyal servant of the royal family,
[01:41] Set
I may have been too harsh in my questioning
of such treasonous individuals.
[01:47] Leonhart
Remember this:
[01:49] Leonhart
I will not condone rash killing,
even of heinous criminals.
[01:55] Leonhart
Make your sentences worse than death,
[01:58] Leonhart
so that offenders never think
of defying me a second time.
[02:03] Set
Yes, sire.
SIGN A Boy and the King of Beasts
[03:43] Gatekeeper B
Hey! We're on duty!
[03:45] Gatekeeper A
Sorry. I couldn't help it.
[03:47] Gatekeeper B
Damn it. If any more scoundrels get in,
[03:52] Gatekeeper B
the watch captain's demotion to the border
will look lenient by comparison.
[03:55] Gatekeeper B
So look sharp!
[03:57] Gatekeeper A
I know, I know.
[03:58] Gatekeeper A
We gatekeepers bar the way
into the royal... palace...
[04:07] Ilya
Bring out your king.
I have business with him.
[04:15] Amit
I made these to celebrate Lady Sariphi
overcoming her first ordeal.
[04:21] Sariphi
So crispy and flaky!
[04:23] Clops
They're delicious!
[04:24] Cy
Delicious!
[04:26] Amit
I'm so glad you like them.
[04:29] Sariphi
I'd love to bake something, too.
For the king.
[04:32] Amit
Oh!
[04:34] Amit
Lady Sariphi worked herself ragged so
that she can become queen, didn't she?
[04:39] Clops
That she did!
[04:41] Amit
Th-Then... that terrifying king is the
gentleman she has feelings for?!
[04:46] Clops
You only just figured that out?
[04:52] Amit
Goodness, what a commotion.
[04:56] Anubis
Please be careful, sire.
[04:58] Anubis
This man just fought the whole palace watch,
[05:02] Anubis
and he remains most unruly.
[05:06] Anubis
In any case, this is an
unprecedented occurrence.
[05:09] Anubis
Not only did he violate the treaty
of mutual noninterference,
[05:13] Anubis
but he assaulted the palace alone and
threatened violence to Your Majesty.
[05:18] Anubis
He's like an animal.
[05:23] Ilya
So you're the king of beasts?
[05:25] Ilya
Did you kill Sariphi?!
[05:29] Sariphi
Your Majesty!
[05:31] Sariphi
I heard that someone broke into the palace.
[05:33] Sariphi
May I have a word with—
[05:38] Sariphi
Ilya?
[05:40] Ilya
Sariphi...
[05:42] Ilya
Sariphi, is that you?!
[05:44] Sariphi
Ilya, what are you doing here?!
[05:46] Anubis
Do you know this person, Lady Sariphi?
[05:49] Sariphi
Yes! Ilya is my...
[05:52] Ilya
Oh, okay.
[05:54] Ilya
You're still... alive.
[06:00] Sariphi
Ilya...
[06:04] Sariphi
Please!
[06:06] Sariphi
Please pardon Ilya.
[06:08] Speaker B
It wouldn't do, sire!
[06:10] Speaker B
Not even beasts may trespass
in the royal palace!
[06:14] Speaker B
Custom demands that he be severely punished!
[06:18] Sariphi
In that case,
[06:19] Sariphi
I'll accept his punishment instead.
[06:22] Sariphi
Punish me.
[06:24] Leonhart
Anubis.
[06:25] Anubis
Sire!
[06:26] Leonhart
What did that man say when
he appeared before my gates?
[06:30] Anubis
According to the gatekeepers,
[06:32] Anubis
he said, "Bring out your king.
I have business with him."
[06:37] Sariphi
Sire?
[06:39] Leonhart
In other words, that man is my guest.
[06:42] Leonhart
He merely didn't know to ring the doorbell.
[06:47] Speaker B
Y-You cannot mean...
[06:50] Leonhart
Do you object to my ruling?
[06:54] Sariphi
Thank you, sire.
[06:57] Sariphi
Sire?
[06:59] Leonhart
Why would you go to such
lengths to save him?
[07:03] Leonhart
What is that man to you?
[07:08] Sariphi
We knew each other as kids.
[07:10] Sariphi
When he was little, evil beasts
attacked his hometown.
[07:15] Sariphi
So he went traveling, training
under the warrior who saved him.
[07:20] Sariphi
Then, one day...
[07:22] (Flashback) Sariphi
Ow!
[07:27] (Flashback) Ilya
What are you looking at?
[07:29] (Flashback) Ilya
You're always sneaking around.
[07:34] (Flashback) Ilya
Hey, that hurt!
[07:41] (Flashback) Ilya
Medicinal herbs?
[07:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
Because... you're always hurt.
[07:47] (Flashback) Ilya
This is nothing.
[07:49] (Flashback) Ilya
You can't train without taking a few bumps.
[07:52] (Flashback) Sariphi
Train for what?
[07:54] (Flashback) Ilya
To become a big, strong man
who can beat anyone.
[07:58] (Flashback) Ilya
So if you're ever in trouble,
just come to me.
[08:03] (Flashback) Ilya
I'll keep you safe, even from the beasts.
[08:10] (Flashback) Ilya
Sariphi! I brought you a neat souvenir!
[08:14] Sariphi
Ilya didn't know I was
going to be a sacrifice,
[08:18] Sariphi
so he must have thought
that he failed to protect me.
[08:25] Sariphi
Since it's my fault he took this risk,
[08:30] Sariphi
I felt I had to help him.
[08:32] Leonhart
Is that really all?
[08:37] Sariphi
What do you mean?
[08:41] Leonhart
If you don't know, it doesn't matter.
[08:43] Leonhart
Go see him at once.
[08:46] Sariphi
Oh, of course!
[08:50] Sariphi
Thank you, sire!
[08:58] Leonhart
How petty I am.
[09:03] Anubis
This is a most exceptional circumstance.
[09:07] Anubis
His Majesty will release you
under one condition:
[09:10] Anubis
that you never set foot in his realm again.
[09:14] Anubis
Be grateful for his royal magnanimity.
[09:19] Soldier A
Lord Chancellor!
[09:21] Soldier B
How dare you, scoundrel?!
[09:22] Ilya
Do you ever shut up?
[09:24] Ilya
You oughta be thanking Sariphi.
[09:26] Ilya
If anything had happened to her,
I'd have lopped off all your heads by now.
[09:33] Sariphi
Ilya!
[09:34] Ilya
Sariphi.
[09:35] Sariphi
Thank goodness they let you out.
[09:38] Sariphi
Huh?
[09:39] Sariphi
W-Wait! What are you doing, Ilya?
[09:42] Ilya
Huh? What does it look like?
[09:44] Ilya
I'm bringing you home.
[09:47] Ilya
If you're all right, they must not
need you as a sacrifice.
[09:51] Ilya
So they've got no right to complain.
[09:54] Clops
Hold it right there!
[09:56] Clops
Sariphi is living here with us.
[10:00] Clops
You can't take her away!
[10:02] Cy
Can't!
[10:08] Sariphi
Cy! Clops!
[10:10] Ilya
Let's go.
[10:16] Sariphi
Sire!
[10:17] Ilya
You!
[10:18] Leonhart
I can't have you walking off with this girl.
[10:21] Leonhart
She is to be my queen.
[10:28] Leonhart
I'll overlook your actions just this once.
[10:31] Leonhart
Leave while you still live.
[10:34] Leonhart
Guards! Take him away!
[10:37] Soldier
At once, sire!
[10:38] Ilya
Wait!
[10:42] Ilya
You'll pay.
[10:44] Ilya
I swear, I'll make you...
[10:50] Sariphi
Ilya!
[10:52] Sariphi
Ilya!
[10:54] Sariphi
Ilya!
[11:02] Anubis
I believe that he is merely fatigued.
[11:05] Sariphi
Thank goodness.
[11:06] Anubis
That said, Lady Sariphi must have concerns
about sending him home in this state.
[11:12] Anubis
Would you consider nursing him here
overnight before expelling him?
[11:19] Sariphi
What? Can we really, Mr. Chancellor?
[11:21] Anubis
Only if His Majesty approves, of course.
[11:27] Leonhart
I don't object. Let it be so.
[11:30] Sariphi
Thank you, sire!
[11:32] Anubis
Then I shall make the necessary
arrangements at once.
[11:37] Sariphi
Ilya, you really should eat something.
[11:41] Ilya
I don't need food.
[11:42] Sariphi
But you must be hungry.
[11:44] Ilya
I'm not.
[11:53] Sariphi
See? Listen to your tummy growl!
[11:56] Sariphi
You haven't changed, Ilya.
[12:00] Sariphi
Always trying to act tough.
[12:02] (Flashback) Ilya
It's training.
[12:04] Sariphi
This really takes me back.
I never thought I'd see you again, Ilya.
[12:10] Sariphi
Thank you for coming all this way for me.
[12:15] Ilya
It's fine. I'd do anything for you.
[12:20] Ilya
Anyway, Sariphi, is what he said true?
[12:24] Ilya
That nonsense about you
marrying the king of beasts?
[12:27] Sariphi
Oh... Yes, actually.
[12:30] Ilya
So that's it.
[12:32] Ilya
But don't worry. I promise
I'll get you out of here.
[12:37] Sariphi
What?
[12:39] Ilya
Escaping this place with you
will be no problem for me.
[12:43] Sariphi
Wait a second.
[12:44] Ilya
Don't worry about finding a place to live.
[12:47] Ilya
I'm in good with plenty of villages.
[12:50] Ilya
So...
[12:51] Ilya
Come live with me.
[12:56] Sariphi
Ilya, I...
[12:57] Amit
Excuse me.
[13:00] Sariphi
Amit!
[13:01] Amit
Lady Sariphi told me about you.
[13:04] Amit
Um... How do you feel?
[13:07] Amit
I think desserts are the
best thing for exhaustion,
[13:11] Amit
so I baked muffins with some
nuts I picked this morning.
[13:15] Amit
Please enjoy them together...
[13:21] Ilya
Get out. Now.
[13:24] Ilya
Monster.
[13:28] Amit
I... I beg your pardon!
[13:31] Sariphi
Amit!
[13:34] Sariphi
What's wrong with you, Ilya?!
[13:36] Sariphi
Amit went out of her way to—
[13:40] Ilya
No, what's wrong with you?
[13:42] Ilya
Why are you acting buddy-buddy with beasts?
[13:46] Ilya
Don't tell me you think their king
will actually keep you alive?
[13:52] Sariphi
What do you mean?
[13:54] Ilya
He's lying about making you his queen.
[13:57] Ilya
Beasts would never treat humans as equals.
[14:01] Ilya
You're no more than an exotic pet to him.
[14:06] Ilya
When he gets bored of you,
he'll toss you out like trash.
[14:11] Ilya
They only think of us as either prey or toys.
[14:19] Sariphi
I know that beasts attacked your hometown.
[14:23] Sariphi
I can't tell him not to
hold a grudge, but still...
[14:28] Sariphi
But at least try to understand one thing.
[14:31] Sariphi
The king isn't like that.
[14:35] Sariphi
Take the way he treated you.
[14:37] Sariphi
Favoring a human might harm his position,
[14:42] Sariphi
but he still made an exception.
[14:45] Sariphi
He sacrifices his health and peace of mind.
[14:50] Sariphi
He stood up for me the same way.
[14:54] Sariphi
I believe in him, and I'm going to
spend the rest of my life with him.
[15:02] Sariphi
So I can't go with you, Ilya.
[15:16] Sariphi
I'll be back with more food.
[15:35] Amit
Lady Sariphi.
[15:38] Sariphi
Amit...
[15:41] Amit
Whatever is the matter? You look pale.
[15:45] Sariphi
Don't worry. It's nothing.
[15:48] Sariphi
More importantly, I'm sorry
for how Ilya treated you.
[15:51] Amit
Don't be. I was too forward.
[15:55] Sariphi
You're so kind, Amit.
[15:57] Sariphi
You know, Ilya is kind, too, deep down.
[16:01] Sariphi
When I was little,
I tried to avoid making friends,
[16:05] Sariphi
because I knew I'd be a sacrifice.
[16:08] Sariphi
But Ilya was...
[16:14] (Flashback) Ilya
Listen, Sariphi. If anybody
makes you cry, you tell me.
[16:18] (Flashback) Ilya
No matter who they are, I'll protect you.
[16:22] Sariphi
I suppose beasts are just...
a bit of a sore spot for him.
[16:27] Sariphi
Even though he was strong,
he wasn't violent for no reason.
[16:32] Sariphi
But...
[16:36] Amit
Lady Sariphi?
[16:38] Sariphi
The way Ilya acted earlier...
[16:43] Sariphi
That look in his eyes...
[16:46] Sariphi
...scared me a little.
[16:52] Anubis
That concludes the report from Goya.
[16:55] Anubis
The royal guard should return from
Gamakas the day after tomorrow.
[17:01] Anubis
Well, now.
[17:02] Anubis
She must be taking food to that man.
What admirable devotion.
[17:08] Anubis
Although she forsook her homeland,
[17:11] Anubis
Lady Sariphi must feel a special
affection for old friends.
[17:15] Anubis
And above all, she must find comfort
[17:19] Anubis
in spending time with a fellow human.
[17:25] Sariphi
Cy, Clops, wait here.
[17:28] Sariphi
Ilya might snap at you.
[17:30] Clops
We understand. We don't
want to get kicked again.
[17:33] Cy
Don't want.
[17:34] Sariphi
I'm sorry.
[17:39] Sariphi
Am I frightened of Ilya?
What's gotten into me?
[17:45] Sariphi
If I try speaking calmly to him again,
I'm sure he'll be the Ilya I know.
[17:52] Sariphi
Ilya.
[17:54] Sariphi
I brought you dinner.
[17:56] Sariphi
Try to eat something this time.
[18:00] Sariphi
Listen, Ilya, can we try
again to have a proper talk?
[18:04] Sariphi
We'll have to say goodbye
to each other tomorrow.
[18:08] Sariphi
I don't know when we'll see each other
again. We might never be able to.
[18:14] Sariphi
I don't want to end things on a sour note.
[18:17] Ilya
Yeah.
[18:19] Sariphi
Ilya...
[18:20] Ilya
You're right. I've been
thinking the same thing.
[18:30] Ilya
Sorry, Sariphi.
[18:33] Ilya
I'm taking you with me. To somewhere
that monster can't get you.
[18:40] Leonhart
What?! Sariphi is gone?!
[18:43] Clops
Sari never left the room,
but she's not inside it, either!
[18:46] Clops
Th-That man carried her off!
[18:49] Cy
Kidnapped!
[18:50] Guard
B-Begging Your Majesty's pardon!
[18:52] Guard
The human has taken back
his weapons and fled!
[18:58] Leonhart
Dispatch a force in pursuit!
[19:01] Leonhart
No, I'll go myself.
[19:04] Anubis
Please wait, sire! You are a king.
[19:08] Anubis
You must not act rashly.
[19:10] Leonhart
Silence! Unless I act swiftly,
Sariphi will suffer!
[19:12] Anubis
Do you truly believe that Lady
Sariphi was taken against her will?
[19:20] Leonhart
What are you implying?
[19:23] Anubis
Lady Sariphi is human.
[19:25] Anubis
Under these circumstances, she might
quite naturally choose a human man.
[19:32] Anubis
And even if she did not,
this is the realm of beasts.
[19:37] Anubis
She will find life here difficult.
[19:42] Anubis
Would she not be happier returning to
live in human lands with a human man?
[19:51] Cy
Sire!
[19:52] Clops
Sari's running out of time!
[19:55] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[19:57] Leonhart
If that's where your happiness lies...
[20:00] Leonhart
If I would be an obstacle to it, then...
[20:05] Amit
Your Majesty!
[20:08] Amit
P-Please, set out after
Lady Sariphi at once.
[20:13] Clops
Princess Amit?!
[20:16] Anubis
What now?
[20:17] Amit
I cannot believe that Lady Sariphi would
choose to leave with that gentleman.
[20:24] Amit
She risked her own life
to attempt the ordeals
[20:29] Amit
because she longs to be
with you with all her heart.
[20:34] Amit
Is that not so, sire?
[20:38] Anubis
Princess Amit, kindly refrain from
such outbursts in the royal presence.
[20:44] Anubis
The palace is already in disarray.
[20:47] Anubis
If His Majesty were to leave now...
[20:50] Jormungand
In that case,
[20:52] Jormungand
allow me to take charge of matters here.
[20:55] Clops
Captain Jormungand!
[20:58] Anubis
Jor!
[20:59] Anubis
But you weren't due back for two days!
[21:02] Jormungand
I managed to complete my
mission ahead of schedule.
[21:06] Jormungand
Sire, I am your loyal servant.
[21:10] Jormungand
Command me, and I shall perform
[21:13] Jormungand
any task Your Majesty desires.
[21:28] Clops
His Majesty's holy beast...
[21:30] Leonhart
Take charge in my absence, Jormungand.
[21:34] Jormungand
Yes, sire.
[21:35] Anubis
Please wait! Sire!
[23:25] Clops
T-Terrible news, Chancellor Anubis!
That human man kidnapped Lady Sariphi!
[23:30] Cy
Terrible! Terrible!
[23:36] Clops
Chancellor Anubis just...

[00:01] Leonhart
Can you track them, Gwiber?
[00:04] Gwiber
Yes, but human presences are weak.
[00:08] Gwiber
It may take time to locate—
[00:10] Bennu
What? You're a sorry excuse
for a white dragon, Gwiber.
[00:15] Bennu
Leave it...
[00:17] Bennu
to me.
[00:18] Gwiber
C-Can it be...
[00:20] Gwiber
Bennu, the great phoenix?!
[00:22] Bennu
Yup. Long time no see.
[00:24] Gwiber
Did you not retire from the world?
[00:26] Bennu
It's a long story, but the girl you're
looking for is my new master.
[00:31] Bennu
Our souls are paired.
[00:34] Bennu
So I could find her anywhere.
[00:37] Leonhart
Sariphi's holy beast? What is it saying?
[00:41] Bennu
I'm saying I'll help out, King All-Shaken-Up-
'Cause-Somebody-Swiped-Your-Woman.
[00:47] Bennu
So show some gratitude, numbskull.
[00:50] Gwiber
H-He promises to find the
human lady for you, sire.
[00:55] Leonhart
I see.
[00:57] Bennu
You really toned that down, huh?
[00:59] Leonhart
I thank you, Phoenix Bennu.
[01:02] Bennu
I ain't doing this for you.
I just feel like it.
[01:07] Bennu
What's the point of my coming out of
retirement if that girl ain't around?
[01:12] Bennu
Oh, keep heading straight north.
[01:16] Leonhart
Forgive me, Sariphi.
[01:19] Leonhart
Even if you wish to live happily with him,
[01:23] Leonhart
I can no longer resist my longing for you.
SIGN A Boy of Love and Hate
[03:09] Ilya
We've come pretty far from the palace.
Is this area deserted?
[03:14] Hyena A
Oh?
[03:18] Hyena A
I wondered who was suicidal enough
to traipse into Hyenian turf.
[03:23] Hyena B
What have we here?
[03:25] Hyena B
I smell human.
[03:27] Hyena A
And that one's...
[03:29] Hyena B
A female! Don't see those every day.
[03:33] Hyena A
We lower classes haven't had
many humans since the truce.
[03:39] Hyena B
We're nice, so we'll let you go, male.
[03:42] Hyena B
But leave the female behind.
We'll gnaw her down to the bones!
[03:57] Sariphi
Ilya?
[04:01] Hyena A
D-Damn it! He's no pushover!
[04:03] Hyena A
Come on! Run for it!
[04:05] Hyena Child
Dad!
[04:11] Hyena Child
S-Stop it, human!
[04:13] Hyena Child
Don't kill my dad!
[04:23] Sariphi
Run away! Hurry!
[04:31] Sariphi
Why, Ilya?
[04:32] Sariphi
Why would you attack a little child?
[04:35] Ilya
It may be small now, but it'll
kill humans when it's grown.
[04:39] Ilya
That's just how they are.
[04:43] Sariphi
But you said...
[04:45] Sariphi
that you would get stronger
to protect the weak
[04:51] Sariphi
by fighting off bad beasts who cross
the border to raid human towns.
[04:56] Sariphi
That's the Ilya I know.
[05:00] Ilya
I said that, but now I know those
half measures can't save anyone.
[05:06] Ilya
The beasts have charmed you, Sariphi.
[05:10] Ilya
I'll kill every last one,
[05:12] Ilya
if that's what it takes to open your eyes.
[05:16] Sariphi
Why?
[05:18] Sariphi
Why would you go so far for me?
[05:24] Sariphi
Ilya?
[05:33] Sariphi
Ilya? What...
[05:36] Ilya
Because...
[05:38] Ilya
Because I love you, Sariphi!
I have since we were kids!
[05:46] Leonhart
Where are you, Sariphi?
[05:48] Leonhart
If you've crossed the border and
hidden in Yoana, I cannot follow.
[05:52] Bennu
Oh, chill out. For a big guy,
you sure are high-strung.
[05:58] Bennu
If you're a king, show some confidence.
Lie back all cocky-like.
[06:02] Leonhart
What did he say, Gwiber?
[06:04] Gwiber
That he is devoting all his energies
to tracking the human.
[06:09] Bennu
Guess you've got it rough, too.
[06:11] Gwiber
If you think so, please choose
your words more carefully.
[06:15] Bennu
Yeah, yeah.
[06:16] Bennu
Anyway,
[06:18] Bennu
they're moving awful fast for humans
on foot. Maybe they found horses?
[06:23] Bennu
We might wanna hurry up.
[06:31] Sariphi
Ilya...
[06:33] Sariphi
I'm sorry. Right now,
[06:36] Sariphi
I can't accept your feelings.
[06:40] Sariphi
You aren't seeing me at all right now.
[06:43] Sariphi
The only thing in your eyes is hate.
[06:47] Sariphi
So much that it scares me.
[06:49] Sariphi
And saddens me.
[06:59] Sariphi
I can't blame you for hating the beasts
who attacked your home.
[07:03] Sariphi
More fighting between humans and beasts
might be going on even as we speak.
[07:09] Sariphi
A lot of people might
be hurting because of it.
[07:13] Sariphi
But not all beasts want that.
[07:18] Sariphi
There are all kinds of beasts.
Some are nice, and some are scared.
[07:23] Sariphi
Just like humans.
[07:26] Sariphi
Making a world where humans and beasts
don't fight might be unrealistic,
[07:32] Sariphi
but His Majesty is trying
to get as close as he can.
[07:37] Sariphi
He hides his kind heart behind
strength and intimidation
[07:41] Sariphi
because he wants to protect
beasts and humans alike.
[07:45] Sariphi
That's why I want to do all I can at his side.
[07:52] Sariphi
Even if you still hate beasts,
please have at least a little faith.
[07:58] Sariphi
Trust my judgment of His Majesty.
[08:04] Ilya
Beasts are just like humans?
[08:06] Ilya
You know nothing. That's the only reason
you can spout that nonsense.
[08:11] Ilya
Sure, plenty of humans are scum
who'd be better off dead.
[08:16] Ilya
But beasts are fundamentally different.
[08:20] Ilya
You know how kids tear wings
and legs off of bugs for fun?
[08:24] Ilya
Or how we eat meat
and fish without thinking?
[08:27] Ilya
Have you ever imagined what it's like
to be on the other side of that?
[08:32] Ilya
That's how everything I cared
about was taken from me.
[08:37] Ilya
On that day, thirteen years ago...
[08:40] (Flashback) Child A
Crap, it's Ilya! Run for it!
[08:43] (Flashback) Child B
Ow!
[08:44] (Flashback) Ilya
I'll do a whole lot worse if you
ever make my sister cry again!
[08:49] (Flashback) Ilya
Are you okay, Misha? What'd they say to you?
[08:53] (Flashback) Misha
They said I'm adopted, because my hair's
not like yours and Mom's.
[09:00] (Flashback) Misha
And that someone will come from
the beast realm to take me away.
[09:05] (Flashback) Ilya
That's a pack of lies. Our late dad
had red hair just like yours.
[09:11] (Flashback) Ilya
And even if beasts did come,
[09:14] (Flashback) Ilya
I wouldn't let 'em lay a paw on you.
[09:17] (Flashback) Ilya
So don't worry, Misha.
[09:19] (Flashback) Misha
Okay! It's a promise!
[09:22] (Flashback) Misha
No take-backs!
[09:25] (Flashback) Misha
Mom sure is late. Is it snack time yet?
[09:29] (Flashback) Mother
Ilya! Misha! Come here!
[09:32] (Flashback) Misha
Are we playing hide and seek?
[09:34] (Flashback) Mother
Shush. Stay right here, and whatever
you do, don't make a sound.
[09:39] (Flashback) Mother
Ilya, take care of Misha. Understand?
[09:54] Ilya
What? What's going on outside?
[10:02] (Flashback) Reptilian A
Look.
[10:03] (Flashback) Reptilian A
I thought I smelled something.
[10:04] Ilya
Beasts?!
[10:05] (Flashback) Reptilian B
So that woman was hiding brats.
[10:07] (Flashback) Misha
Ilya... I'm scared, Ilya.
[10:09] (Flashback) Ilya
Then Mom must be...
[10:11] (Flashback) Reptilian B
This one'll be perfect for dessert. C'mere.
[10:16] (Flashback) Ilya
Misha!
[10:18] (Flashback) Ilya
Stop! Let go of her!
[10:19] (Flashback) Misha
Ily—
[10:27] (Flashback) Reptilian A
What about this one?
[10:29] (Flashback) Reptilian A
The males taste too gamey,
even when they're young.
[10:32] (Flashback) Reptilian B
Hey, I know.
[10:33] (Flashback) Reptilian B
Let's bet on how long he can
run before we catch him.
[10:36] (Flashback) Reptilian A
Good idea. If I win, give me half
the females you caught earlier.
[10:42] (Flashback) Reptilian A
Hey, brat! On your feet!
[10:44] (Flashback) Reptilian B
Go on.
[10:46] (Flashback) Reptilian B
Get running.
[10:59] (Flashback) Reptilian A
Go on. Hurry up.
[11:01] (Flashback) Reptilian B
We're gonna catch you!
[11:04] Ilya
They took my family,
my home, and my dignity.
[11:08] Ilya
If my teacher hadn't found me on the way,
they would've killed me like a bug.
[11:14] Ilya
And then, after I'd lost everything...
[11:18] Ilya
I glimpsed a new hope.
[11:22] Ilya
But they stole even that from me.
[11:26] Ilya
I should have realized sooner.
[11:28] Ilya
As long as beasts exist,
we'll never be able to live in peace.
[11:35] Ilya
So I'll kill them.
[11:37] Ilya
Kids, kings... I don't care!
[11:40] Ilya
That's the reason I became stronger!
[11:43] Sariphi
Ilya...
[11:45] Sariphi
Ilya's hatred and sadness are
so much deeper than I realized.
[11:51] Sariphi
I can't stop him.
[11:54] Sariphi
It's too much for me.
[11:57] Ilya
Looks like we spent too long chatting.
[11:59] Ilya
But this is perfect.
[12:03] Sariphi
Ilya?
[12:06] Sariphi
Ow!
[12:07] Ilya
Stay there and watch.
[12:09] Sariphi
Ilya?
[12:19] Ilya
I'll open your eyes in no time.
[12:28] Sariphi
Sire...
[12:30] Leonhart
You haven't mistreated her, I trust?
[12:34] Leonhart
Return my queen!
[12:37] Ilya
Don't get confused.
[12:39] Ilya
Sariphi's human, and I'm the one
who's taking her back from you.
[12:44] Ilya
You want her back that bad?
Then fight me here.
[12:48] Ilya
If you want Sariphi, take her by force!
[13:00] Sariphi
Ilya! Ilya, stop!
[13:01] Sariphi
Ilya!
[13:02] Bennu
Yo. You okay?
[13:05] Sariphi
Bennu!
[13:06] Bennu
Hey.
[13:07] Sariphi
Please, untie me!
[13:09] Bennu
And what if I do? Are you gonna stop 'em?
[13:12] Bennu
Well, don't. Leave 'em to it.
[13:15] Bennu
Sometimes, men need to settle
things with their fists.
[13:19] Sariphi
But then, Ilya will...
[13:21] Bennu
Of course he will.
[13:23] Bennu
How's one human supposed
to fight the king of beasts?
[13:28] Bennu
That punk's gotta know that
better than anyone.
[13:32] Bennu
But so what?
[13:40] Ilya
He's not just strong.
He sees right through me.
[13:44] Ilya
I don't stand a chance.
[13:46] Ilya
But so what?
[13:48] Ilya
I can't back down!
[13:49] Ilya
If I do, it'll be like that day all over again.
[13:53] Ilya
I'll have nothing...
[13:55] Ilya
Nothing...
[14:01] Ilya
He's only open for a moment!
[14:03] Ilya
I've got y—
[14:20] Ilya
So this is the best the devil king can do?
[14:25] Ilya
Your little tricks won't stop me.
[14:29] Ilya
Rend me with your claws!
Bite me with your fangs! Kill me!
[14:35] Ilya
Come on.
[14:37] Ilya
Show that you're a cruel monster at heart,
no matter how you try to hide it.
[14:42] Ilya
Show Sariphi what you are!
[14:45] Ilya
If that'll wake you up, Sariphi,
[14:47] Ilya
then I'll gladly let him kill me!
[15:01] Ilya
Why...
[15:03] Leonhart
Harming you would sadden Sariphi.
That is my only reason.
[15:10] Leonhart
But I cannot retreat, either.
[15:13] Leonhart
I need Sariphi.
[15:23] Sariphi
Sire!
[15:24] Sariphi
Sire! Be strong, sire!
[15:27] Sariphi
Please, answer me!
[15:29] Sariphi
No! Don't die!
[15:29] Ilya
Sariphi?
[15:32] Ilya
Who was it?
[15:34] Ilya
Who made you cry?
[15:37] (Flashback) Ilya
Listen, Sariphi. If anybody
makes you cry, you tell me.
[15:41] (Flashback) Ilya
No matter who they are, I'll protect you.
[15:49] Leonhart
Calm yourself.
[15:51] Leonhart
Beasts are physically far more
resilient than humans.
[15:55] Leonhart
I won't die from this scratch.
[15:57] Leonhart
More importantly...
[16:03] Ilya
What was the point?
[16:06] Ilya
What did I storm all this way to do?
[16:13] Ilya
What have I been doing all this time?
[16:22] Sariphi
Ilya, I'm sorry.
[16:25] Sariphi
Since I was little, I always accepted
that I was going to be sacrificed.
[16:30] Sariphi
So I thought I didn't need
to make friends or memories.
[16:35] Sariphi
But I just finally realized.
[16:39] Sariphi
I was able to spend the days leading
up to my sacrifice so peacefully
[16:45] Sariphi
because you were there for me, Ilya.
[16:49] Sariphi
You've been saving me all this time.
[16:52] Sariphi
So please,
[16:53] Sariphi
forgive yourself.
[16:56] Sariphi
Don't tell yourself that you
couldn't protect anything.
[17:00] Sariphi
Don't blame yourself.
[17:03] Sariphi
Ilya,
[17:07] Sariphi
thank you for protecting me.
[17:22] Bennu
Hey, it's dawn at last.
[17:34] Bennu
There. I more or less patched him up.
[17:36] Bennu
Not that a big guy like him
had much to worry about.
[17:39] Sariphi
Thanks so much, Bennu!
[17:41] Bennu
I can't just ignore your orders.
[17:44] Bennu
But you know,
[17:45] Bennu
you've got some nerve making me,
the great phoenix, ferry some human!
[17:52] Ilya
I don't need a sendoff,
and I won't take help from beasts.
[17:56] Bennu
I ain't one of those beasts!
[17:58] Bennu
I'm the holy phoenix, and I've lived a
hundred times longer than you, jackass!
[18:02] Leonhart
I've sentenced you to
semipermanent deportation.
[18:07] Leonhart
Sariphi doubtless wishes
to see you on your way.
[18:10] Sariphi
Thank you, sire.
[18:12] Sariphi
But are you sure?
[18:14] Leonhart
Yes.
[18:16] Ilya
Well, aren't you confident?
[18:19] Ilya
Just so you know, I don't give a damn
about rules made by beasts.
[18:23] Ilya
What'll you do if I run off with her again?
[18:26] Leonhart
You will do no such thing.
[18:29] Leonhart
Sariphi believes that,
and I trust her judgment.
[18:36] Ilya
What a pushover. Some devil king you are.
[18:40] Leonhart
It was the humans who
decided to call me that.
[18:44] Leonhart
My realm recognizes no such title.
[18:48] Leonhart
My name is Leonhart.
It means "brave-hearted."
[18:55] Ilya
Pretty fancy name you've got there.
[18:57] Ilya
Listen up.
[18:59] Ilya
If you ever do anything to make Sariphi cry,
[19:04] Ilya
I'll make you give her back.
[19:07] Ilya
Don't forget that, Leonhart.
[19:15] Leonhart
I'll bear it in mind.
[19:20] Bennu
All right, buddy, the border's in sight.
[19:23] Bennu
Beyond those woods is Yoana,
the human realm.
[19:28] Sariphi
He says we're almost to the border, Ilya!
[19:31] Sariphi
Ilya?
[19:32] Sariphi
Wait, are you afraid of heights?
[19:34] Ilya
Sh-Sh-Shut up! Don't talk to me right now!
[19:37] Sariphi
You don't have to act tough, you know.
[19:40] Ilya
I see. Since I last knew you,
[19:44] Ilya
you've learned to smile so much
more brightly, Sariphi.
[19:50] Ilya
Sorry for always acting so selfishly.
[19:54] Sariphi
No, I should apologize.
[19:56] Sariphi
For not telling you I was a sacrifice.
[19:59] Sariphi
And for never realizing that
you had feelings for me.
[20:04] Ilya
I can't blame you.
[20:06] Ilya
Like you said, I was always looking
past you at the beasts I hated.
[20:13] Ilya
I can't forgive them for what they've done,
and I'm sure I'll go on hating them.
[20:18] Ilya
But...
[20:19] Ilya
You believe in him,
and I'll trust your judgment.
[20:29] Ilya
I'm serious about loving you, understand?
[20:36] Sariphi
Thank you, Ilya!
I'll see you again, won't I?
[20:41] Ilya
Yeah.
[20:43] Ilya
For your sake,
[20:45] Ilya
I'd go anywhere.
[20:49] Sariphi
I really am sorry, sire.
[20:52] Sariphi
I caused so much trouble for you.
[20:54] Leonhart
You needn't apologize.
In fact, I owe you an apology.
[21:00] Leonhart
For a moment, I hesitated to pursue you.
[21:04] Leonhart
I lacked confidence.
[21:06] Leonhart
I thought that perhaps life in Yoana
with him would make you happier.
[21:12] Leonhart
That you might have gone with
him of your own free will.
[21:19] Sariphi
The home I long for isn't in the
human realm or the beast realm.
[21:24] Sariphi
It's right here, sire.
[21:28] Sariphi
Thank you, Leo.
[21:31] Cy
Sariphi!
[21:33] Clops
We're so sorry! We should
have protected you!
[21:36] Amit
I'm so glad you're safe and sound.
[21:39] Sariphi
No, I'm sorry for worrying you all.
[21:43] Amit
Oh, I know!
[21:44] Amit
Let's celebrate with a tea party.
[21:50] Sariphi
No matter how hard the king works,
[21:53] Sariphi
there will be beasts who hate humans
and humans like Ilya who hate beasts.
[21:59] Sariphi
Is the reality that
[22:02] Sariphi
we can never intermingle?
[22:05] Amit
All is ready, Lady Sariphi.
[22:09] Sariphi
Oh, a garden party!
[22:11] Amit
A bit of open air every now
and then will do us good.
[22:14] Amit
Please, help yourself.
[22:15] Sariphi
Wait, where are Cy and Clops?
[22:18] Sariphi
And it looks like there's an extra chair.
[22:20] Clops
R-R-Right this way, sire.
[22:26] Sariphi
Your Majesty!
[22:27] Sariphi
Why...
[22:29] Leonhart
They asked me to put in at
least a brief appearance.
[22:36] Leonhart
I can guess what it is
you're brooding about.
[22:40] Leonhart
Sariphi, you won't change
reality by grieving alone.
[22:47] Leonhart
But both beasts and humans
are gathered round this table.
[22:52] Bennu
Don't forget holy beasts, genius!
[22:54] Leonhart
People truly rejoiced at your return
and wish to remain with you.
[23:01] Leonhart
This, too, is incontrovertible reality.
[23:05] Sariphi
He's right. Why did I lose sight of that?
[23:10] Sariphi
Beasts, holy beasts, and humans
can all laugh around this table here.
[23:18] Sariphi
I hope that one day, this little table
[23:21] Sariphi
will grow to fill the whole world.
[23:26] Sariphi
I'm back, Mr. Chancellor!
[23:27] Sariphi
Sorry I worried y—
[23:29] Sariphi
What's wrong, Mr. Chancellor?
[23:31] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor?!
[23:32] Sariphi
Hey, Mr. Chancellor!
[23:35] Clops
Chancellor Anubis...
[23:36] Cy
...just dropped dead.

[00:01] Sariphi
Some important person is
coming to meet me? What for?
[00:06] Anubis
Although His Majesty already held
a banquet for royalty and nobility,
[00:11] Anubis
not all those invited were able to attend.
[00:14] Anubis
One of those who could not now craves
an audience with you, Lady Sariphi.
[00:19] Sariphi
Really? That's nice.
[00:21] Sariphi
I'm glad there's someone who wants to meet me.
[00:25] Anubis
You cannot afford to take
this matter so lightly.
[00:29] Anubis
You must play host to this distinguished
guest as mistress of the palace.
[00:35] Anubis
I propose to make this one of your
ordeals on the path to queenship.
[00:41] Anubis
And the name of this visitor is...
[00:44] Amit
What?!
[00:47] Amit
D-Duke Galois?! D-Do you mean the Duke Galois?!
[00:51] Sariphi
You know him?
[00:52] Amit
Of course. We've never met in person,
[00:57] Amit
but he's a legendary general with
numerous feats of arms to his name.
[01:02] Amit
In particular, he is undefeated on the sea.
[01:04] Amit
His ruthless tactics there earned him
the nickname "Galois the Sea God."
[01:10] Amit
And rumor has it that Duke Galois
hates humans with a passion.
[01:16] Amit
If you were to rub him the wrong way,
[01:19] Amit
he would surely make you regret it!
SIGN The Sea God and the Second Ordeal
[02:57] Jormungand
You certainly have a devious mind.
[03:01] Jormungand
Setting the famously cantankerous
Duke Galois against her is quite a stroke.
[03:07] Anubis
His Grace requested the audience.
I pulled no strings.
[03:11] Jormungand
But she'll have much to prepare.
[03:15] Jormungand
Making the human lady host a ball
is practically inviting her to blunder.
[03:21] Anubis
Did you believe I was honestly trying
to gauge the wench's potential?
[03:27] Anubis
Her existence will be
His Majesty's death someday.
[03:31] Anubis
I must eliminate her at any cost
before that happens.
[03:35] Anubis
And I trust you haven't forgotten
[03:39] Anubis
that we swore to defend
His Majesty together—
[03:41] Anubis
I as his brain, and you as his sword.
[03:46] Jormungand
Of course not.
[03:47] Anubis
Then mind your own business.
[03:49] Anubis
I will find His Majesty a fitting consort,
and a human is out of the question.
[03:55] Jormungand
Really?
[03:56] Jormungand
Are you sure you wouldn't oppose
any match he made, Abi?
[04:04] Sariphi
Tell me, sire,
[04:05] Sariphi
is Duke Galois really that scary?
[04:09] Leonhart
I've never met him in person, either.
[04:11] Leonhart
However,
[04:13] Leonhart
he has ruthlessly subjugated
brigands and enemies of the state.
[04:17] Leonhart
If something displeases him,
[04:19] Leonhart
I don't doubt that he would even turn
his sword against me, his king.
[04:23] Leonhart
But whatever Galois says,
I won't let him lay a hand on you.
[04:28] Leonhart
To protect you, I would become
a truly terrifying man myself.
[04:36] Sariphi
Then I'll do my very best, sire.
[04:40] Sariphi
So you won't have to make scary faces.
[05:02] Vassal A
H-He's finally here.
[05:04] Vassal B
That's the dreaded Sea God...
[05:07] Vassal A
Duke Galois.
[05:10] Anubis
We have been expecting Your Grace.
[05:12] Anubis
I am Anubis, His Majesty's chancellor.
[05:14] Anubis
It is an honor to make the acquaintance
of the renowned Duke Gal—
[05:19] Joz
Don't waste my time on pleasantries!
[05:21] Joz
Bring out the king's favorite.
[05:24] Anubis
I beg your pardon, sir.
[05:27] Anubis
Kindly wait a moment,
and she will join us presently.
[05:31] Joz
Who do you think you are?
[05:32] Galois
My Lord Chancellor.
[05:35] Galois
My master presents this gift to His Majesty.
[05:39] Galois
Istanese wine, aged for 300 years.
[05:44] Anubis
My, what a splendid vintage.
[05:47] Anubis
You there, take charge of it.
[05:49] Vassal C
O-Of course.
[05:52] Anubis
What a fishy stench.
[05:54] Anubis
Especially from this fellow.
[05:57] Anubis
The Ichthyans are a hideous race,
although not quite so unseemly as humans.
[06:03] Sariphi
Thank you for waiting.
[06:06] Sariphi
Welcome, Your Grace.
[06:11] Sariphi
I am Sariphi, and I will serve
as your hostess for today.
[06:17] Joz
What?! What's the big idea?!
[06:20] Anubis
Pardon?
[06:21] Joz
I'm asking you whose idea of a joke this is!
[06:23] Joz
Look at her! You expect me to believe
a human could be queen?!
[06:28] Joz
If this is supposed to be funny, I'm leaving!
[06:31] Galois
Your Grace, please be calm.
[06:33] Galois
At least hear what His Majesty has to say.
[06:35] Joz
You think you can give me orders?
[06:40] Leonhart
Silence.
[06:42] Leonhart
I will permit no disturbances
in this sacred palace.
[06:46] Joz
It is a pleasure to make
Your Majesty's acquaintance.
[06:48] Joz
Galois, Duke of Istan at your service.
[06:51] Joz
There can be no greater honor than
to stand in your royal presence.
[06:55] Joz
Or that's what I would say,
[06:58] Joz
but even a king can only
get away with so much.
[07:00] Joz
And making me the butt of this bad joke...
[07:03] Leonhart
There are no jokes here.
[07:05] Leonhart
Sariphi is my one and only future queen.
[07:10] Joz
With all due respect, lowly human scum
doesn't strike me as royal wife material.
[07:16] Leonhart
You dare?!
[07:17] Sariphi
Your Grace, Duke Galois.
[07:20] Sariphi
A human queen would be
unprecedented, I know.
[07:23] Sariphi
I understand your feelings of trepidation.
[07:26] Sariphi
However,
[07:27] Sariphi
please witness that we
are entirely in earnest
[07:32] Sariphi
with Your Grace's own eyes.
[07:37] Sariphi
This building plays host to
many rituals and festivities.
[07:41] Sariphi
Only select guests of royal and
noble blood are entertained here.
[07:45] Sariphi
Please step this way.
[07:46] Clops
I was nervous for a moment there.
SIGN CHEAT SHEET
[07:49] Clops
Good thing we planned for Duke Galois's
reaction when we wrote the script.

Close one.
[07:55] Amit
And all her hard work seems
to be paying off beautifully!
[08:00] Sariphi

[08:05] Sariphi
It has survived the long ages and been
loved by many distinguished guests.
SIGN BLANK
[08:11] Sariphi
Um...
[08:13] Amit; Cy; Clops
She forgot her lines!
[08:16] Joz
I thought so.
[08:17] Joz
You just memorized a bunch of facts
to make yourself look smart.
[08:21] Joz
For the scrawny, bungling creatures you are,
you humans are wily indeed!
[08:26] Joz
You can't be trusted!
[08:28] Joz
You disgust me! I've seen enough!
[08:30] Joz
Hurry up and skip to dinner.
[08:33] Anubis
If only he'd decided to leave,
this would all be over.
[08:37] Anubis
But no matter.
[08:38] Anubis
I can strike as many sparks as necessary.
[08:42] Sariphi
Now, let us toast to His Grace's
valor and this wonderful day.
[08:51] Joz
Why has our hostess, who led the toast,
not so much as touched her cup?
[08:56] Joz
Can't you drink the wine I presented?
[09:00] Anubis
Our humble apologies, Your Grace.
[09:02] Anubis
The Lady Sariphi claims that
beast wine disagrees with her.
[09:06] Joz
What?!
[09:07] Clops
Y-You misunderstand.
[09:09] Clops
It's not that Sari won't drink. She can't.
[09:12] Joz
What does that matter? A queen who
can't drink a toast is no queen at all.
[09:17] Joz
This is why you can't count
on humans for anything!
[09:20] Galois
Your Grace, we are at the table.
Please restrain your—
[09:24] Joz
Quiet!
[09:25] Joz
How many times must I tell you
to leave me when I'm eating?
[09:29] Joz
Looking at your ugly mug makes
everything taste rotten.
[09:33] Sariphi
You shouldn't talk to him like—
[09:34] Joz
The same goes for you!
[09:36] Joz
Who could eat with a human
staring them in the face?!
[09:40] Joz
Get out of here! Now!
[09:44] Clops
Sire...
[09:46] Sariphi
I beg your pardon, sir.
I will excuse myself.
[09:51] Sariphi
I hope that you will all enjoy
this meal at your leisure.
[09:57] Cy; Clops
Sari...
[10:12] Sariphi
I'm so hungry.
[10:16] Sariphi
Cy? Clops?
[10:18] Sariphi
Thank you! Just what I needed!
[10:22] Sariphi
Sire?
[10:24] Sariphi
Don't tell me this is your food?
[10:27] Leonhart
Yours was taken away.
[10:30] Sariphi
Then you haven't eaten anything?
[10:33] Leonhart
Dining across from a man who insults
my queen would spoil any dish.
[10:41] Leonhart
What's so amusing?
[10:43] Sariphi
Nothing. It's not funny at all.
[10:45] Sariphi
Thank you.
[10:46] Sariphi
And don't worry about me.
I've gotten used to things like this.
[10:50] Leonhart
But—
[10:51] Sariphi
I can't leave His Grace in a
foul temper like this, can I?
[10:55] Sariphi
I'd better turn things around
at the ball tonight.
[10:58] Sariphi
Right?
[11:00] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[11:02] Leonhart
You truly are far stronger
than the likes of me.
[11:07] Sariphi
Come on, sire. Have some, too.
[11:09] Sariphi
I'm already stuffed.
[11:11] Leonhart
No, I'll have some of this.
[11:15] Leonhart
You won't turn anything around
with a dirty mouth.
[11:20] Leonhart
Show him. Show all of them
that I was right to choose you.
[11:29] Sariphi
I will.
[11:36] Amit
Will Lady Sariphi be all right?
[11:40] Clops
Of course she will. You know
how much she practiced dancing.
[11:43] Cy
Sari worked hard.
[11:47] Sariphi
Your Grace,
[11:49] Sariphi
may I have this dance?
[11:52] Joz
No.
[12:01] Joz
Didn't you hear me?
[12:03] Joz
I said no.
[12:05] Joz
You expect the mighty Galois to dance
hand-in-hand with a human?
[12:09] Cy
O-Oh, no!
[12:10] Clops
Then what about Sari's ordeal?
[12:13] Joz
Ordeal? What ordeal?
[12:16] Joz
Chancellor!
[12:17] Anubis
You see, sir, if the Lady Sariphi cannot
play hostess to an honored guest,
[12:23] Anubis
she will be removed from
consideration as our future queen.
[12:27] Leonhart
Anubis!
[12:28] Anubis
I beg your pardon, sire.
[12:31] Anubis
That said, if you, sir, as the
guest of honor, were to withdraw,
[12:35] Anubis
this ball would be canceled.
[12:38] Joz
No, that would be no fun.
[12:41] Joz
My servant here will dance
with the human in my place.
[12:46] Joz
Watching two ugly freaks join hands
should be worth a laugh.
[12:53] Joz
If she doesn't like it,
she can always refuse.
[13:20] Galois
I beg your pardon, human miss.
[13:23] Galois
For making you dance with
an old dodderer like me.
[13:27] Sariphi
What?
[13:28] Galois
My fire-scarred skin sheds
its scales and reeks of rot.
[13:33] Galois
What a hideous and dreadful
sight I must make.
[13:37] Sariphi
Not at all. Why do you say so?
[13:40] Galois
You grimaced and hesitated
when you first took my hand.
[13:46] Sariphi
That's because you look like
you must be in so much pain.
[13:50] Galois
These old wounds don't hurt me.
[13:53] Sariphi
Really?
[13:54] Galois
I received most of them over a
century ago, in the last war.
[13:59] Galois
These hands have slain
many foes—many humans.
[14:04] Galois
In revenge, I was burnt at human hands.
[14:09] Sariphi
Do you hate humans, too, then?
[14:13] Galois
Who can say? War is like that.
[14:16] Galois
The gulf is deep.
[14:18] Galois
And if you, a human,
become queen of this realm,
[14:20] Galois
you'll need to grapple with that
truth to the end of your days.
[14:26] Galois
Why would you choose such a thorny path?
[14:30] Sariphi
I just... want to be at His Majesty's side.
[14:35] Sariphi
A human like me can only
live here thanks to him.
[14:41] Sariphi
The king has two faces: beast and human.
[14:45] Sariphi
I want him to be able
to go on living as he is.
[14:49] Sariphi
I don't have any power of my own,
but I want to help him in any way I can.
[14:54] Galois
Well, then, I suppose you've
fallen in love with His Majesty.
[15:00] Sariphi
Huh? In love with... His Majesty...
[15:05] Galois
Silly me. We old-timers love
to meddle in youngsters' business.
[15:12] Icthyan A
It looks like they're
talking about something.
[15:15] Icthyan B
They seem to be enjoying themselves.
[15:18] Sariphi
Tell me, Grandpa.
[15:19] Galois
G-Grandpa?
[15:21] Sariphi
If you're not in pain,
could I squeeze a little harder?
[15:25] Sariphi
It's harder to dance if we
aren't really holding hands.
[15:28] Sariphi
Here.
[15:28] Galois
Whoa, there!
[15:30] Galois
Here, now. Go easy twirling
my old bones around.
[15:33] Sariphi
Oh, I'm so sorry.
[15:42] Joz
What're you laughing for?!
[15:44] Joz
There's no fun in watching you
make friends with a human!
[15:49] Joz
You disgrace to the Ichthyan race!
[15:55] Joz
What's this, wench?
Are you trying to shield him?
[15:59] Joz
Move! You're in my way!
[16:02] Sariphi
I will not.
[16:04] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[16:05] Joz
Don't give me that.
[16:07] Joz
This is Ichthyan business.
[16:09] Joz
Keep your nose out of it, human!
[16:11] Joz
Now, move!
[16:14] Sariphi
I will not.
[16:16] Joz
Y-You little idiot.
[16:19] Joz
You'll never be a legitimate queen
if you fail this "ordeal" of yours.
[16:24] Joz
I hold your fate in my hands.
[16:27] Galois
Leave it be, miss. You mustn't
argue with His Grace.
[16:32] Galois
Don't mind me. I'm used to this.
[16:35] Joz
That's the wisdom of age speaking.
[16:38] Joz
Only a fool loses sight of the big picture
to feel like a hero for a moment.
[16:44] Joz
Either way, you're not queen material!
[16:48] Joz
Now, choose. Make the smart
choice for your future,
[16:53] Joz
or destroy yourself for
that old bag of bones.
[16:57] Joz
Well?
[17:00] Clops
Sari...
[17:02] Leonhart
Sariphi, I believe in you.
[17:07] Leonhart
And in the choice you'll make.
[17:10] Sariphi
Sire,
[17:13] Sariphi
I'm sorry. It looks like I can't
be your queen after all.
[17:19] Joz
I... I don't believe it!
[17:21] Joz
You'd give up power and status
just to shield this one old wretch?!
[17:27] Galois
He's right. Let it go.
[17:29] Galois
Remember what you told me?
[17:30] Galois
You want to stand by the king to support him.
[17:33] Galois
So you should—
[17:35] Sariphi
That's why I'm doing this.
[17:37] Sariphi
If I became queen like this, I'd still
have to leave His Majesty someday.
[17:44] Sariphi
I want...
[17:46] Sariphi
to become someone who can stand
by his side with her head held high.
[17:50] Sariphi
Otherwise, I won't be able to share his
vision of a future where no one gets hurt.
[17:59] Sariphi
If a queen is someone who ignores
someone being hurt right in front of her,
[18:04] Sariphi
then I could never be a queen.
[18:07] Joz
Is that your answer?
[18:10] Sariphi
Yes, it is, Mr. Shark.
[18:12] Joz
Mister—
[18:13] Joz
Who do you think you're talk—
[18:15] Sariphi
You lash out at people who can't fight back,
[18:18] Sariphi
and you still call yourself a great warrior?
[18:20] Joz
Sh-Shut yo—
[18:21] Sariphi
Are you really the Sea God?
[18:25] Leonhart
I thought as much. This man is...
[18:34] Galois
Stop. You've done enough.
[18:36] Vassal A
He stopped the duke's sword with one hand?!
[18:41] Sariphi
Huh?
[18:44] Leonhart
Has this farce reached its end,
[18:46] Leonhart
Galois the Sea God, Duke of Istan?
[18:50] Ozmargan Vassals
What?
[18:51] Ozmargan Vassals
Duke Galois?!
[18:52] Ozmargan Vassals
This old man?!
[18:53] Ozmargan Vassals
It can't be...
[18:55] Leonhart
Why did you carry out this plot?
[18:58] Galois
We Ichthyans endured ill treatment
under the reigns of our previous kings.
[19:06] Galois
Since Your Majesty's succession, however,
[19:08] Galois
times have begun to change, albeit gradually.
[19:13] Galois
You are a light in the dark to us, sire.
[19:16] Galois
But we came here because we heard
talk that you had become deranged,
[19:22] Galois
and that you intended to take
a queen unfit for royal dignity.
[19:28] Leonhart
Then, to test Sariphi, you had
your man play the tyrant
[19:33] Leonhart
and disguised yourself as an old
soldier fallen on hard times?
[19:37] Galois
It is as you say, sire.
[19:39] Galois
I came prepared to face any punishment.
[19:42] Galois
But first, permit me to say one thing.
[19:45] Anubis
What insolence! Haven't you said enough?!
[19:49] Leonhart
Speak.
[19:50] Galois
This entire deception was practiced
at my sole discretion.
[19:55] Galois
All of my men merely obeyed orders.
[19:59] Galois
Please, sire, take my head
alone to sate your anger!
[20:05] Galois
I beseech you!
[20:11] Joz
Hold it right there!
[20:13] Joz
That ain't what we signed up fer, pops!
[20:16] Joz
Ya never said anythin' about
takin' all the blame on yerself!
[20:19] Galois
Joz?!
[20:22] Joz
Please, sire! If ya want a head, take mine!
[20:26] Joz
Pops is like a lighthouse ta us.
[20:29] Joz
None of us can get by without him.
[20:32] Joz
I know my head ain't worth much,
but I'm willing ta die fer him!
[20:40] Anubis
What are you doing?! Remove him!
[20:42] Vassal A
W-We're trying, but he's too strong!
[20:45] Sariphi
You really care about Grandpa, don't you?
[20:51] Sariphi
Then you shouldn't talk about dying.
[20:56] Sariphi
Tell me, sire, do we really
need to punish them?
[20:59] Sariphi
I mean, I'm not hurt or anything.
[21:03] Joz
A-Ain'tcha mad?!
I said a lotta awful stuff ta ya!
[21:08] Sariphi
But you didn't mean it, did you?
[21:10] Sariphi
It doesn't bother me. And I had a lot of fun.
[21:15] Leonhart
No. Deceiving me, the king, and insulting
my beloved is a grave offense.
[21:21] Leonhart
I will not be satisfied until I have
imposed a fitting punishment.
[21:26] Leonhart
Galois, Duke of Istan, and Joz,
Supreme Commander of the Istanese Navy,
[21:31] Leonhart
and all other Ichthyans
involved in this affair:
[21:36] Leonhart
Swear perpetual allegiance to me!
[21:39] Leonhart
Give your all to defend my realm for my sake!
[21:48] Galois
Thank you for this
magnanimous sentence, sire.
[21:51] Galois
Henceforth, we Ichthyans
[21:53] Galois
swear everlasting loyalty and reverence
to Your Most August Majesty.
[21:59] Galois
And...
[22:00] Galois
to support the Lady Sariphi,
your lawful consort and our future queen.
[22:08] Crew
Next time, I'll teach ya ta swim!
[22:15] Sariphi
I'm sorry, sire.
[22:17] Sariphi
I acted selfishly again.
[22:20] (Flashback) Sariphi
It looks like I can't be your queen after all.
[22:25] Leonhart
True. If possible, I wish to never
hear such words pass your lips again.
[22:33] Leonhart
I have been prepared since the moment
I chose to make you my queen.
[22:38] Leonhart
Trampling on others to save
yourself is not in your nature.
[22:44] Leonhart
I had faith in your answer.
[22:47] Leonhart
It is because you give such answers
that I wish to make you my queen
[22:53] Leonhart
and my wife.
[22:55] Sariphi
His wife...
[23:02] Sariphi
Sire? Where are we going?
[23:05] Sariphi
Your chamber is the other way.
[23:08] Sariphi
This is where we held the ball.
[23:11] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[23:13] Leonhart
May I have this dance?
[23:26] Anubis
Curse you, human wench!
[23:28] Anubis
You've even twisted Duke Galois
around your finger!
[23:30] Anubis
The time for niceties has passed!
[23:32] Anubis
I must remove her from
the king's side at any cost!

[00:05] Anubis
Will nothing convince you, sire?
[00:08] Leonhart
Of course not. I refuse
to accept your sophistry.
[00:12] Anubis
Sophistry? You wound me, sire.
[00:15] Anubis
At last night's ball, Lady Sariphi said
herself that she is unfit to be queen.
[00:22] Anubis
In other words, she abandoned her ordeal.
[00:26] Anubis
We thus consider that she disqualified
herself from queenship at that moment.
[00:32] Leonhart
But Sariphi performed her duties as hostess
[00:36] Leonhart
and ultimately won Duke Galois
over to her cause.
[00:40] Anubis
That took place after she
renounced her ordeal.
[00:45] Anubis
Whatever the outcome, you cannot
deny that she refused queenship.
[00:51] Anubis
I ask you, can such a half-hearted candidate
be trusted with responsibility?
[00:57] Anubis
In any case, we categorically refuse
to recognize this ordeal as a success.
SIGN Recollections of a King and His Chancellor
[02:45] Sariphi
Welcome back, Your Majesty!
[02:48] Sariphi
Are you all right?
[02:50] Leonhart
Merely a touch tired of quibbling.
[02:53] Sariphi
Was it about me again?
[02:56] Leonhart
You have nothing to worry about.
[03:00] Leonhart
I shouldn't tell Sariphi.
[03:04] Leonhart
She may regret her actions if I do.
[03:08] Leonhart
I don't want to force any more
constraints on her needlessly.
[03:15] Sariphi
Sire.
[03:17] Sariphi
If something really is wrong, tell me. Okay?
[03:24] Leonhart
One day, even he will understand.
[03:28] Sariphi
Huh?
[03:29] Sariphi
The rest of this book is missing.
[03:31] Clops
Ichthyan history?
[03:34] Clops
This must have slipped in
from another library.
[03:37] Sariphi
You mean this isn't the only one?
[03:39] Clops
Of course not.
[03:41] Clops
There are enough to fit the
whole history of Ozmargo.
[03:44] Clops
There's even a forbidden library,
which only royalty may enter!
[03:50] Cy
Enter!
[03:51] Sariphi
Really? A forbidden library?
[03:53] Clops
J-Just to be clear, "forbidden"
means that you're not allowed in!
[04:01] Clops
We'll find the next volume of
that book, Sari. You wait here.
[04:06] Cy
Here.
[04:07] Sariphi
What? Don't worry. I'll find it myself.
[04:10] Sariphi
I'm always making you two do all the work.
[04:14] Sariphi
I'll check the nearest library first.
[04:17] Sariphi
I wonder where it is.
[04:20] Guard B
And then—
[04:21] Anubis
You there!
[04:23] Anubis
How dare you indulge in
chitchat while on duty?!
[04:26] Guard A
A-A thousand pardons, sir!
[04:28] Anubis
Only truly devoted servants of His Majesty
have a place in this palace!
[04:33] Anubis
Remember that you can always be replaced!
[04:36] Guard A
Y-Yes, sir!
[04:37] Guard B
It won't happen again!
[04:45] Guard A
That scared me half to death.
He's been pricklier than ever lately.
[04:49] Guard B
Not that I don't sympathize.
[04:51] Guard A
Still, after seeing that ball,
[04:54] Guard A
I wound up thinking that
humans aren't all bad.
[04:59] Anubis
Fools. Don't they see her virtue is an act?
[05:03] Anubis
That wench beguiled the king to escape
being sacrificed and save her own skin.
[05:10] Anubis
She can't pull the wool over my eyes.
[05:13] Anubis
I must remove her from His Majesty's side,
[05:18] Anubis
by any means necessary.
[05:23] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor!
[05:26] Sariphi
I'm so sorry for asking you to show
me the way. I know you're busy.
[05:29] Anubis
Don't mention it.
[05:30] Sariphi
Still, look at all these books.
[05:33] Sariphi
How will I ever find the one I want?
[05:36] Anubis
I don't know how she seduced His Majesty,
[05:39] Anubis
but I swear... I will end her life.
[05:45] Anubis
End her life?!
[05:47] Anubis
I could do it now. No one else
knows that we're here.
[05:53] Anubis
It would be easy to engineer an accident
amid all these bookshelves.
[05:57] Anubis
I can kill her!
[06:00] Anubis
I have no reason to hesitate. None!
[06:05] Sariphi
Oh, Mr. Chancellor!
[06:08] Sariphi
Are you all right?!
[06:09] Sariphi
Don't worry. I'll keep looking on my own.
[06:12] Anubis
No, allow me to assist you.
[06:14] Sariphi
Really?
[06:16] Sariphi
Thank goodness.
[06:19] Sariphi
To be honest, I wanted to
solve this problem myself,
[06:23] Sariphi
but with you on my side,
I'll have nothing to worry about!
[06:27] Sariphi
Thank you.
[06:29] Anubis
Is she dim-witted?
[06:32] Anubis
She has no sense of danger.
Her folly is stunning.
[06:36] Anubis
I'll finish her quickly,
[06:39] Anubis
with these hands I swore to
devote wholly to His Majesty.
[06:45] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor!
[06:47] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor!
[06:51] Maid A
Master! Master Sirius!
[06:54] Maid A
Your lord father's funeral is about to begin.
[06:57] Maid A
It's time for you to dress.
[06:59] Young Anubis
I won't go.
[07:01] Maid A
What do you mean?
[07:03] Maid A
This funeral is where you will formally
inherit the name of Anubis.
[07:10] Anubis
That's the problem.
[07:12] Young Anubis
I don't want to become
the royal family's lapdog.
[07:15] (Flashback) Anubis's Father
Listen well, Sirius.
[07:17] (Flashback) Anubis's Father
Generation after generation,
we of the line of Anubis
[07:20] (Flashback) Anubis's Father
have lived to serve and
protect the royal family.
[07:25] (Flashback) Anubis's Father
Your blood and your life exist to
be sacrificed to the king one day.
[07:32] Young Anubis
My father never stopped telling me that,
[07:36] Young Anubis
and he died saving the king from assassins.
[07:40] Young Anubis
But his death didn't move the royals one bit.
[07:44] Young Anubis
They only thought of him as one lost pawn.
[07:48] Previous King
You're Anubis's boy? I hear you
didn't attend his funeral.
[07:54] Young Anubis
Yes, Your Majesty. I took ill.
[07:58] Previous King
Well, no matter. You're too young
to assume his duties in any case.
[08:05] Previous King
Henceforth, I command you
to attend on the prince.
[08:09] Young Anubis
As you wish, sire.
[08:12] Young Anubis
My name is Sirius. It's a pleasure to
make Your Highness's acquaintance.
[08:16] Young Leonhart
Sirius? I thought you were Anubis.
[08:19] Young Anubis
I have not yet formally inherited that name.
[08:24] Young Anubis
Ha! Why would I ever take a name
that makes me your servant?
[08:29] Young Leonhart
Oh, I see.
[08:31] Young Leonhart
Nice to meet you, Sirius.
[08:41] Young Anubis
I swear I'll rise to greatness.
[08:44] Young Anubis
I'll study my head off, and someday
I'll be the greatest in the kingdom.
[08:48] Young Anubis
Even more important than royalty.
[08:51] Young Anubis
And to make that happen, I'll do anything...
[08:57] Young Anubis
What is it?
[09:01] Young Anubis
What about them?
[09:03] Young Leonhart
It would be a shame to step on them.
[09:07] Young Anubis
Pardon?
[09:08] Young Anubis
With all due respect, hundred-eyed ants
are incapable of fearing death.
[09:13] Young Anubis
Stepping on one or two will
hardly drive them extinct,
[09:18] Young Anubis
and they lack the intelligence
to mourn their fellows.
[09:21] Young Anubis
Only proper culling allows
both plants and animals
[09:25] Young Anubis
to maintain a healthy circle of life.
[09:29] Young Anubis
Naïve and misplaced pity for them
is the true danger to our ecosystem.
[09:35] Young Leonhart
I see. You sure are smart.
[09:41] Young Leonhart
Then did you know...
[09:43] Young Leonhart
that hundred-eyed ants always
follow the ant in the lead?
[09:48] Young Leonhart
That's better.
[09:51] Young Leonhart
Why step on them when you can go around?
[09:58] Young Anubis
Yes, that's all well and good for royalty.
[10:02] Young Anubis
You get to choose whether
you crush others underfoot.
[10:12] Young Anubis
Your Highness, where have you been?
[10:14] Young Anubis
It's time for your swordsmanship lessons.
[10:16] Young Leonhart
I hate swords.
[10:19] Young Anubis
What lily-livered nonsense.
[10:20] Young Anubis
Your Highness will lead troops
into battle yourself someday.
[10:25] Young Leonhart
But getting hit with a wooden sword hurts.
[10:28] Young Leonhart
Getting cut with a real sword
must be even worse.
[10:31] Young Anubis
Have no fear. Your Highness
will be struck last of all.
[10:36] Young Anubis
Your minions will be the first to die.
[10:39] Young Leonhart
Friend or foe, everyone feels
pain when they get hurt.
[10:44] Young Leonhart
We should just make a country where
no one, of any race, has to fight.
[10:50] Young Anubis
Yes, that would be wonderful.
[10:54] Young Anubis
Fanciful idealism.
[10:56] Young Anubis
And only those able to truly face
reality can realize their ideals.
[11:09] Young Anubis
I see the world as it really is.
[11:12] Young Anubis
One day, I'll be unrivaled in this realm.
[11:14] Young Anubis
Maybe not during the current king's reign,
but once this spoiled prince succeeds him,
[11:21] Young Anubis
my time will come.
[11:27] Young Anubis
I need to study.
[11:29] Young Anubis
I don't have time to rest.
[11:33] Maid B
The young master has a fever again.
[11:35] Maid C
He's never been strong.
[11:38] Maid C
Of course, I'm sure waiting on
the prince is tiring, but still...
[11:42] Maid B
Will he really be able to
succeed his late father?
[11:45] Young Anubis
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
[11:49] Young Anubis
I'll never follow in my father's footsteps!
[11:52] Young Anubis
He never once came to
visit me when I was ill!
[11:58] Young Anubis
His duty meant more to him than I did!
[12:07] Young Anubis
What's this?
[12:09] Young Anubis
It's warm...
[12:13] Young Anubis
Your Highness?! What are you doing here?!
[12:15] Young Leonhart
I heard you weren't feeling well,
so I came to check on you.
[12:21] Young Anubis
You came all this way alone?!
[12:24] Young Leonhart
I'm sure no one spotted me.
[12:28] Young Leonhart
I brought you healthy food from the kitchens.
[12:31] Young Leonhart
Eat plenty, and get well.
[12:34] Young Anubis
Wh-Why have you done all this?
[12:38] Young Leonhart
Huh? Can't I worry about you?
[12:43] Young Anubis
Huh?
[12:44] Young Anubis
Worried? The prince is actually concerned
[12:50] Young Anubis
about me, a mere vassal?
[12:55] Young Leonhart
Besides,
[12:56] Young Leonhart
your father saved mine.
[13:02] Young Leonhart
My father is strict and scary,
[13:06] Young Leonhart
but I still love him.
[13:10] Young Leonhart
So I'm grateful. Really, I am.
[13:14] Young Anubis
Oh, so that's it.
[13:19] Young Anubis
I have no need of this.
[13:21] Young Leonhart
Huh?
[13:21] Young Anubis
Kindly return to your chambers.
[13:23] Young Leonhart
Sirius?
[13:24] Young Anubis
You mustn't linger.
[13:26] Young Leonhart
Wait, Sirius.
[13:27] Young Anubis
Please just leave already!
[13:33] Head Guard
The prince has been kidnapped!
[13:35] Guard C
And the son of the late Anubis with him!
[13:38] Head Guard
Organize a search party at once!
[13:50] Young Anubis
Where...
[13:55] Young Anubis
Your Highness!
[13:57] Assassin B
Huh?
[13:58] Assassin A
Oh, one of the brats woke up.
[14:00] Assassin A
Thanks. We couldn't have taken
the prince hostage without you.
[14:05] Assassin A
Now we can get our comrades set free.
[14:08] Assassin B
Then we really will take the king's head.
[14:10] Assassin B
No more screw-ups!
[14:12] Young Anubis
These are the assassins
who targeted the king?!
[14:16] Young Anubis
That means...
[14:18] Assassin B
Yowch!
[14:19] Assassin B
What's the big idea?!
[14:21] Young Anubis
Give back my father!
[14:23] Assassin B
Huh?! What'd you say to me?!
[14:28] Assassin B
So you're Anubis's brat!
[14:30] Assassin A
Anubises die as the shadows of royalty.
[14:34] Assassin A
If you've got their blood in your veins,
this must be fate.
[14:38] Assassin B
Why do you think we took you
and not just the prince?
[14:43] Assassin B
So we can kill a kid to
show we mean business.
[14:49] Assassin B
The prince is our ace in the hole,
but you're worthless as a hostage.
[14:54] Assassin A
This is for your prince.
Don't you feel honored?
[14:58] Assassin A
If you wanna blame someone,
blame the royals who drove us to this,
[15:01] Assassin A
and blame your own blood.
[15:10] Young Anubis
Y-Your Highness!
[15:15] Young Anubis
Royal blood.
[15:17] Young Anubis
A royal is shielding a vassal.
[15:20] Young Anubis
No...
[15:22] Young Anubis
It's unpardonable. I'm done for.
[15:27] Young Anubis
This is the end for me!
[15:30] Assassin A
Moron! That's the kid you wanna kill!
[15:33] Assassin B
Y-Yeah, I know!
[15:38] Young Anubis
Y-Your Highness! Please stop this!
[15:42] Young Anubis
A future king should not put himself in peril!
[15:44] Young Leonhart
A king is someone... who protects everyone.
[15:49] Young Leonhart
If I can't protect... even one friend...
right in front of me...
[15:56] Young Leonhart
what kind of king am I?!
[16:07] Young Anubis
Your Highness!
[16:09] Young Anubis
Your Highness, please stay strong!
[16:11] Young Leonhart
Sirius... Are you... hurt?
[16:17] Young Anubis
N-No.
[16:20] Young Leonhart
I'm glad.
[16:30] Young Anubis
I must escape.
[16:32] Young Anubis
I must get away while they're unconscious.
[16:35] Young Anubis
I must...
[16:36] Young Anubis
protect the prince!
[16:39] Royal Guard A
I sensed magic up ahead!
[16:42] Royal Guard B
There he is! Lord Anubis's son is with him!
[16:47] Young Anubis
Hurry... Get His Highness to...
[16:52] Maid A
I'm so glad you weren't hurt.
[16:56] Maid A
They say the prince will recover
with a few days of rest.
[17:01] Young Anubis
I see.
[17:02] Maid A
And I hear the prince
made a plea to His Majesty.
[17:07] Maid A
He begged for you not to be held accountable.
[17:13] Maid A
So the house of Anubis's
reputation will not suffer.
[17:17] Maid A
Isn't that wonderful?
[17:20] Young Anubis
I...
[17:23] Young Anubis
I had only thought of myself
until it came to that.
[17:28] Young Anubis
But I finally understand, Father.
[17:32] Young Anubis
Are you out there somewhere, watching me?
[17:35] Young Anubis
I've found my king, too.
[17:40] Young Leonhart
What's wrong, Sirius?
[17:43] Young Anubis
Although I serve Your Highness,
I was unable to defend you the other day.
[17:48] Young Anubis
I humbly beg your forgiveness.
[17:51] Young Leonhart
Don't worry about it.
[17:52] Young Leonhart
I was the one who got you
involved in the first place.
[17:56] Young Leonhart
So I should apologize to—
[17:58] Young Anubis
Your Highness, royalty must not
utter words of apology lightly.
[18:03] Young Anubis
And endangering yourself to shield others,
as you did on this occasion,
[18:08] Young Anubis
is a rash and thoughtless act.
[18:11] Young Anubis
Please be more circumspect in future.
[18:14] Young Leonhart
Sirius?
[18:16] Young Anubis
No.
[18:17] Young Anubis
I am Anubis.
[18:19] Young Anubis
As your shadow, I shall henceforth
devote myself wholly to Your Highness.
[18:26] Young Anubis
I'll do anything to make him a strong,
stern, and absolute monarch.
[18:35] Young Anubis
Even if that means
[18:36] Young Anubis
I may never again feel his warmth.
[18:44] Anubis
What's this?
[18:46] Anubis
It's warm...
[18:49] Anubis
Your Highness?
[18:54] Sariphi
You're finally awake!
[18:56] Sariphi
How do you feel, Mr. Chancellor?
[18:59] Anubis
W-Wen—
[19:02] Anubis
I've never been so ashamed!
[19:04] Anubis
How could I have seen
His Majesty in this wench?
[19:08] Anubis
Lady Sariphi, what is the meaning of this?
[19:11] Sariphi
You collapsed all of a sudden in the library.
[19:14] Sariphi
But you feel better now, right?
[19:16] Anubis
Don't touch me!
[19:18] Anubis
Do you imagine this places me in your debt?
[19:20] Anubis
Despicable.
[19:22] Anubis
You'd flatter anyone to ensure your
own survival, vile human wench!
[19:29] Anubis
You may have fooled His Majesty
with your wiles, but you won't fool me!
[19:33] Anubis
I won't stand for an upstart human girl
to further disturb his royal heart!
[19:40] Anubis
I will never accept you!
[19:47] Sariphi
Oh, good! I'm so relieved!
[19:50] Sariphi
You're finally acting like yourself again!
[19:54] Anubis
What?
[19:54] Sariphi
I mean, when you started going,
"Lady Sariphi..." earlier,
[19:58] Sariphi
it was downright uncanny.
[20:01] Sariphi
Besides,
[20:02] Sariphi
His Majesty worries about you, too.
[20:06] Anubis
Don't act as if you know him!
[20:08] Anubis
It's a thousand years too soon
for you to speak on his behalf!
[20:13] Anubis
You know nothing of all
that has passed between us!
[20:16] Sariphi
No, I don't.
[20:20] Sariphi
But I've watched His Majesty,
and I can tell what he cares about.
[20:28] Sariphi
He may not show it on his face,
[20:30] Sariphi
but he worries a lot about you, Mr. Chancellor.
[20:34] Sariphi
So get well soon and think up
my next ordeal, okay?
[20:47] Sariphi
Your—
[20:54] Sariphi
See? I knew it.
[20:59] (Flashback) Sariphi
...think up my next ordeal, okay?
[21:06] Speaker A
Now, permit us to open this council.
[21:10] Speaker B
As to the treatment of Lady Sariphi,
which we so recently discussed—
[21:16] Anubis
My Lord Speakers.
[21:19] Anubis
On this occasion, let us respect the royal will
[21:22] Anubis
and consider that she has
succeeded in her ordeal.
[21:26] Anubis
I move that we continue to test
Lady Sariphi's worthiness as a consort.
[21:33] Speaker A
Are you certain that's wise?
[21:35] Anubis
I stand by what I have said.
[21:40] Anubis
Wench.
[21:42] Anubis
Henceforth, I will judge you in earnest
[21:45] Anubis
to see whether you are
worthy of my king's heart.
[21:51] Anubis
Be prepared.
[23:26] Sariphi
The Grand Consecration?
[23:27] Anubis
Yes. I hope that Milady will attend.
[23:30] Anubis
Is that what you expect me to say, twit?!
[23:33] Anubis
You, accompany His Majesty?!
Maybe in a hundred years!
[23:36] Sariphi
Did you mean to say that out loud?

[00:01] Clops
The founder of Ozmargo—our first king—
and his queen consort.
[00:07] Clops
Endless power struggles consumed beastkind
until this great hero united us.
[00:14] Cy
First king, hero!
[00:16] Sariphi
And his queen took up a
sword to guard his back.
[00:20] Sariphi
I knew about them from history books,
[00:23] Sariphi
but it's still kind of amazing to see.
[00:26] Sariphi
Still, I had no idea this
statue was in the palace.
[00:30] Sariphi
I've never been allowed in here,
even for Duke Galois's visit.
[00:33] Clops
This is a sacred place.
[00:35] Clops
It's only opened for royal
birthdays and coronations,
[00:38] Clops
or in the lead-up to the Grand Consecration.
[00:41] Sariphi
What's that?
[00:43] Clops
Officially, it's the "Grand Consecration
in Memory of Ozmargo's Founding."
[00:46] Clops
Not only royalty and nobility
from vassal states,
[00:49] Clops
but also the common people of Ozmargo
gather in the palace for a grand celebration.
[00:54] Sariphi
No wonder everyone here
has been so busy lately.
[00:58] Sariphi
I haven't seen His Majesty all day.
[01:00] Clops
His Majesty must be having his regalia fitted.
[01:04] Sariphi
What regalia?
[01:05] Clops
During the rites of the Grand Consecration,
[01:08] Clops
kings customarily wear
the first king's clothes.
[01:11] Clops
And one day, Sari,
you'll wear the first queen's—
[01:13] Sariphi
The king is dressing up?
[01:15] Sariphi
Okay! Let's go take a look!
[01:16] Clops
What?
[01:18] Clops
W-Wait, Sari!
[01:20] Cy
Ri!
SIGN Day of Festival and Revelation
[02:58] Cy
Sari, no!
[03:00] Clops
His Majesty will be furious
if you spy on him dressing!
[03:04] Sariphi
But I want to see what he's going to wear!
[03:08] Sariphi
Hello. Are you here, Your Majesty?
[03:11] Leonhart
Sariphi? What is it?
[03:16] Sariphi
I came to see you try on your fancy clothes.
[03:19] Sariphi
Will you wear that to
the Grand Consecration?
[03:22] Leonhart
Yes. Why?
[03:23] Sariphi
Oh, wow!
[03:25] Sariphi
You look so dashing, like a real hero!
[03:27] Sariphi
I love it, sire!
[03:33] Leonhart
All but Sariphi, leave us.
[03:36] Maid A
Y-Yes, sire.
[03:38] Sariphi
Sire?
[03:39] Sariphi
What's—
[03:43] Sariphi
Oh, is he embar—
[03:48] Sariphi
You really do look great, sire!
[03:53] Sariphi
The wind sure is strong today.
[03:56] Leonhart
The skies will grow even more turbulent
[03:59] Leonhart
until, at last, a storm drives
the miasma from the realm.
[04:04] Leonhart
I believe this will be a night of revelation.
[04:07] Sariphi
A night of revelation... When His Majesty
loses his beast form and powers...
[04:21] Leonhart
This weak circle isn't even a consolation.
[04:25] Leonhart
But this is my limit in human form.
[04:27] Leonhart
If I'm found like this...
[04:34] Sariphi
Oh, thank goodness!
[04:35] Sariphi
I found you, Leo.
[04:37] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[04:39] Sariphi
Amit taught me how to bake these,
and I wanted to eat them with you.
[04:45] Sariphi
And you have a long night ahead of you.
[04:50] Leonhart
I am... frightened.
[04:52] Leonhart
I cannot survive here without
my power as the king of beasts.
[04:57] Leonhart
In this all-too-fragile, incomplete form,
I can only hold my breath in the dark.
[05:06] Sariphi
Once the beasts all accept me, a human,
[05:10] Sariphi
I'm sure you won't have
to hide like this anymore.
[05:13] Sariphi
So have faith and be patient.
[05:17] Leonhart
Touch my hand.
[05:21] Leonhart
Well?
[05:22] Sariphi
It feels normal.
[05:24] Leonhart
To my shame, on the night before
every previous Grand Consecration,
[05:28] Leonhart
my fingers would grow cold and tremble.
[05:32] Sariphi
Because you were nervous?
[05:34] Sariphi
About appearing at the ceremony?
[05:36] Leonhart
Yes. And not only the Grand Consecration.
[05:40] Leonhart
I always felt that way
before facing my people.
[05:44] Leonhart
Knowing their countless gazes
would bore into me at once,
[05:47] Leonhart
I feared that one day, someone would see me
[05:50] Leonhart
for the empty, impure king I am,
and that I would lose everything.
[05:57] Leonhart
But now I have you.
[06:00] Leonhart
My fingers no longer grow cold or tremble.
[06:03] Leonhart
Even if you aren't at my side tomorrow,
I can sense your heart.
[06:08] Leonhart
I'm always under your protection.
[06:14] Leonhart
Come closer. Keep me warm.
[06:18] Sariphi
Leo.
[06:20] Sariphi
I'm always protected by your kindness, too.
[06:24] Sariphi
I may not be able to stand at
your side now, but one day...
[06:37] Sariphi
Good morning, Leo.
[06:40] Sariphi
Huh?
[06:41] Sariphi
Human?
[06:44] Sariphi
He's still in human form? Why?
[06:47] Sariphi
What should I do?!
[06:49] Avian Child
Hey, Dad, why's the sky blue?
[06:54] Canine Elder
Now this is a rare sight.
It must have been centuries
[06:58] Canine Elder
since the revelation last
persisted past daybreak.
[07:02] Sariphi
So, because last night's storm
blew all the miasma away,
[07:06] Sariphi
you can't turn back into a beast?
[07:09] Leonhart
That's the only explanation I can think of.
[07:11] Sariphi
Then... you'll be stuck
in human form forever?
[07:14] Leonhart
The miasma will begin to fill
the air again, given time.
[07:18] Leonhart
Then my magic will return naturally,
and I'll regain my beastly form.
[07:23] Sariphi
Really? In that case, all you
need to do is hide until then.
[07:27] Leonhart
Not quite.
[07:29] Anubis
Haven't you located His Majesty yet?!
[07:31] Maid
He isn't in his chambers.
[07:34] Vassal B
Nor in the audience chamber!
Nor in the great hall!
[07:37] Anubis
But the ceremony is beginning
in less than an hour!
[07:41] Amit
Lady Sariphi is missing, as well.
What in the world could have happened?
[07:46] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[07:47] Anubis
The bell to ring in the Grand Consecration
[07:50] Anubis
sounds twelve times at the exact hour
our first king proclaimed this realm.
[07:56] Anubis
No king in our history been so
much as a second late for it.
[07:59] Anubis
We cannot let this be the first time!
[08:02] Anubis
Already, many subjects eagerly
await His Majesty's arrival.
[08:06] Anubis
Search every nook and cranny of the palace!
[08:08] Vassal A
B-But, my Lord Chancellor,
we've done all we can.
[08:11] Set
Have you searched below ground?
[08:14] Anubis
Set.
[08:15] Set
The subterranean altar chamber
is ordinarily off limits.
[08:21] Set
Where better to meditate before
a ritual of great importance?
[08:26] Set
And perhaps His Majesty has
simply lost track of the time.
[08:31] Vassal B
Lord Chancellor...
[08:34] Anubis
Very well.
[08:35] Anubis
This is an emergency.
I'll assume responsibility.
[08:38] Anubis
We shall go to the altar.
[08:41] Vassal C
Your Majesty! Are you here?!
[08:43] Vassal C
Your Majesty!
[08:45] Anubis
We've no choice. Force it open!
[08:47] Vassal C
Yes, sir!
[08:52] Anubis
He's not here, either?
[08:54] Anubis
Let us go!
[09:03] Sariphi
Wow, a secret passage!
[09:06] Sariphi
Is this how you let sacrifices escape, sire?
[09:11] Leonhart
I never dreamed I'd use it myself.
[09:24] Vassal D
How have we still not found him?
[09:26] Vassal E
Where can His Majesty have gone?
[09:31] Sariphi
Ah! You startled me!
[09:33] Vassal D
No, you startled us!
[09:35] Vassal E
Where did you come from?
[09:36] Sariphi
C-Captain...
[09:38] Jormungand
Lady Human. Isn't His Majesty with you?
[09:41] Sariphi
W-Well, you see, I've been l-looking
for him all morning, too.
[09:45] Sariphi
But it looks like he's not over here.
[09:46] Sariphi
Yup! Nowhere in sight!
[09:51] Jormungand
I see.
[09:52] Jormungand
Let's go.
[09:58] Sariphi
The coast is clear.
[10:00] Leonhart
But we're still in danger here.
[10:02] Leonhart
Is there nowhere else we can hide?
[10:08] Sariphi
They've already searched here,
so it should be fine.
[10:13] Sariphi
Leo?
[10:18] Sariphi
What's wrong, Leo? Hang in there!
[10:28] Sariphi
Leo! You're turning back into a beast.
[10:32] Sariphi
Thank goodness! Now you can
make it to the ceremony.
[10:35] Leonhart
No, the bell will start to ring at any moment.
[10:39] Leonhart
Even if I regain my beastly form by then,
[10:43] Leonhart
I can't possibly dress and make my entrance
before the twelve chimes end.
[10:49] Sariphi
Don't say that! I know we can find a way!
[10:52] Leonhart
You don't understand.
[10:54] Leonhart
Even if I'm in time, would it be right?
[10:59] Leonhart
Does a king who troubles
those he ought to protect
[11:01] Leonhart
because he can't control his own form
[11:04] Leonhart
have any right to stand before his people?
[11:10] Sariphi
Leo,
[11:12] Sariphi
I think you're a truly great king.
[11:16] Sariphi
But not because you look strong
or wear magnificent armor.
[11:22] Sariphi
Look.
[11:25] Sariphi
You've stopped trembling.
[11:31] Sariphi
What's wrong?
[11:33] Leonhart
Someone's coming!
[11:34] Sariphi
I'll delay them. Trust me.
[11:37] Leonhart
Sari...
[11:51] Set
Why, Lady Sariphi.
[11:54] Set
I don't believe we've spoken
personally before.
[11:58] Sariphi
Who are you?
[11:59] Set
Pardon my late introduction.
[12:02] Set
I am Set, a humble justice.
[12:06] Set
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[12:08] Sariphi
A judge? And what brings
you here, Mr. Justice?
[12:13] Sariphi
Everyone in the palace
is looking for His Majesty.
[12:15] Set
Indeed.
[12:17] Set
I turned back because I couldn't
stop wondering about this room.
[12:22] Set
And my instincts, it seems,
have served me well.
[12:26] Set
I sense someone's magic
from within, albeit faintly.
[12:31] Sariphi
H-His Majesty, um, said that he wants
to concentrate before the ceremony.
[12:37] Set
Oh, but what good will that
do if he arrives late?
[12:41] Set
I have heard many desperate people
speak in the course of my duties.
[12:47] Set
And you, Lady Sariphi, are a poor liar.
[12:52] Set
But please, do not misunderstand me.
[12:54] Set
While the chancellor fears only
an interruption in the ceremony,
[13:00] Set
my concern is purely for His Majesty's safety.
[13:04] Set
If he is experiencing any difficulty,
[13:06] Set
I dearly wish to be of assistance.
[13:09] Set
Surely you feel the same way.
[13:12] Set
Now, Lady Sariphi,
[13:14] Set
would you kindly open that door?
[13:18] Sariphi
No!
[13:20] Set
Then I suppose I have no choice.
[13:22] Set
I do not wish to manhandle one who may
be our future queen, but needs must.
[13:29] Set
Have no fear. They are my men.
[13:32] Set
Now, open this door.
[13:37] Sariphi
Stop!
[13:38] Sariphi
Don't!
[13:46] Vassal F
Y-Your Majesty!
[13:49] Vassal G
A th-thousand pardons.
[13:51] Set
I thought I'd find Your Majesty here.
[13:54] Set
What have you been doing all this time?
[13:59] Sariphi
The bell!
[14:00] Set
It seems I was a little too late.
[14:02] Set
You will never arrive in time for the
ceremony if you start dressing now.
[14:07] Leonhart
No, I will go as I am.
[14:09] Vassal H
Y-You mustn't.
[14:10] Vassal I
R-Respectfully, sire,
you are hardly attired for—
[14:13] Leonhart
Whatever my appearance, I am king.
[14:18] Leonhart
Is that not so, Sariphi?
[14:20] Sariphi
Yup!
[14:26] Beast A
The bell! It's almost time!
[14:28] Beast B
I can't wait to see his regal figure again.
[14:31] Beast C
Still, it's odd.
[14:33] Beast C
The king usually comes out
as soon as the bell rings,
[14:37] Beast C
but I don't see him yet.
[14:40] Clops
It's hopeless now!
[14:42] Vassal A
Lord Chancellor...
[14:43] Anubis
He'll never make it!
Now that it's come to this...
[14:47] Anubis
Stop the bell now! Cancel the ceremony!
[14:49] Vassal B
Lord Chancellor!
[14:55] Beast A
It's the king! That's his holy beast!
[14:59] Beast B
What divine splendor!
[15:01] Beast C
Your Majesty!
[15:03] Beast C
Huh?!
[15:14] Beast A
Wh-What? He's not in full regalia.
[15:17] Beast B
But Ozmargo's Grand Consecration
is a time-honored tradition.
[15:20] Beast C
Why would he come looking like that?
[15:23] Anubis
Your Majesty, what is the meaning of...
[15:41] Leonhart
Today, I have cast off the armor
of our founding king.
[15:46] Leonhart
But not out of disrespect for tradition.
[15:51] Leonhart
This realm is our first king's legacy.
My duty is to defend and strengthen it.
[15:59] Leonhart
But I cannot do so by merely treading
in the footsteps of my forefathers.
[16:05] Leonhart
Rigid adherence to precedent
will leave it merely a shell,
[16:10] Leonhart
which will ultimately encase our
minds in stubborn clannishness.
[16:14] Leonhart
To change for defense
and defend through change:
[16:18] Leonhart
that is what it truly means to honor tradition.
[16:21] Leonhart
Unless we change, unless we progress,
we can blaze no trails!
[16:28] Leonhart
Follow me! I shall clear the briars
and forge a path for you to tread.
[16:34] Leonhart
It will lead us to the future
we should strive for!
[16:43] Beasts
Your Majesty!
[16:44] Beasts
Long live the king!
[16:45] Beasts
Ozmargo forever!
[16:47] Beasts
Your Majesty!
[16:48] Beasts
Your Majesty!
[16:50] Beasts
Your Majesty!
[16:51] Beasts
Long live the king!
[16:54] Sariphi
His Majesty is amazing.
[16:58] Amit
What a lovely speech that was, Lady Sariphi.
[17:02] Amit
Lady Sariphi?
[17:04] Sariphi
I want to go.
[17:06] Sariphi
I...
[17:07] Sariphi
I want to be there, too.
[17:11] Sariphi
At his side.
[17:15] Anubis
A magnificent address, sire.
[17:17] Anubis
But when you make such bold plans, I wish
you would inform me of them beforehand.
[17:24] Leonhart
You would have objected if I'd told you.
[17:27] Leonhart
Besides...
[17:28] Sariphi
Sire!
[17:32] Leonhart
Something Sariphi said gave me the idea.
[17:36] Leonhart
A king must do more than dress
magnificently for his people.
[17:41] Anubis
No wonder, then.
[17:43] Anubis
I, Anubis, am deeply impressed.
[17:46] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor gave me a normal compliment.
[17:49] Sariphi
I thought you'd be waiting to
bully me with another ordeal.
[17:54] Anubis
Another day, perhaps.
[17:58] Anubis
For the present, your ordeals are at an end.
[18:01] Sariphi
Huh?
[18:02] Sariphi
But all I've done is summon Bennu
and entertain Duke Galois.
[18:09] Anubis
Henceforth, you will take your place
as acting queen consort.
[18:15] Sariphi
Acting queen consort?
[18:18] Anubis
Precisely.
[18:19] Anubis
But I ask that you nevertheless perform
all of a queen's public duties.
[18:25] Anubis
Should you do so without incident
until the next Grand Consecration,
[18:30] Anubis
we shall recognize you
as queen consort in full.
[18:34] Anubis
However, your public presence
as acting queen consort
[18:39] Anubis
will naturally entail revealing
your existence to the people.
[18:43] Anubis
Harsh protest from many
quarters will be unavoidable.
[18:47] Anubis
If you should fail to perform
your queenly duties
[18:50] Anubis
and seriously tarnish
His Majesty's reputation,
[18:55] Anubis
I shall return you to Yoana.
[18:59] Sariphi
To the human realm?
[19:02] Anubis
That said, there is a way
for you to remain in this land.
[19:06] Anubis
You could decline to become
acting queen consort.
[19:10] Anubis
In that case, I will ask His Majesty
to take a formal wife.
[19:14] Anubis
And you...
[19:15] Anubis
may have a position as His Majesty's pet.
[19:26] Leonhart
This is Sariphi's dilemma.
All I can do is accept
[19:33] Leonhart
the answer her heart gives.
[19:36] Anubis
This is a considerable gamble
for me, as well.
[19:40] Anubis
Now, what will you do,
[19:41] Anubis
wench?
[19:44] Sariphi
If I agree to be acting queen
consort and can't do it right,
[19:48] Sariphi
I won't even be allowed
to live in this realm.
[19:51] Sariphi
If I give up on becoming queen,
I can at least stay here.
[19:57] Sariphi
But...
[20:02] Bennu
Hey.
[20:04] Sariphi
Huh? Bennu?
[20:07] Bennu
What're you brooding for?
[20:09] Bennu
You know what you gotta say.
[20:13] Bennu
Go on. Queen it up.
[20:16] Bennu
This country's like a big, stagnant pool.
[20:20] Bennu
You'll never get anywhere unless
you make a splash and stir things up.
[20:27] Sariphi
But...
[20:28] Bennu
Missy,
[20:31] Bennu
clench your teeth for me, wouldya?
[20:33] Sariphi
Huh?
[20:37] Bennu
Well?! Hurts, doesn't it?!

[20:41] Bennu
Well, the wingtip I socked you with
sure does, nincompoop!
[20:45] Bennu
You're no sorry excuse
for a sacrifice anymore.
[20:48] Bennu
So hold your head high and say,
[20:50] Bennu
"I'm the only one who can make
His Majesty into a great king!"
[20:57] Sariphi
Only me?
[20:59] (Flashback) Leonhart
Remember this:
[21:00] (Flashback) Leonhart
the only woman I desire is you, Sariphi.
[21:06] Sariphi
That's right.
[21:17] Sariphi
Leo only wants me.
[21:23] Anubis
Wen—Lady Sariphi,
where did you come from?
[21:27] Sariphi
Your Majesty! I'll do it!
[21:29] Sariphi
I don't know if I'll be any good,
but I'll be the best acting queen I can!
[21:34] Sariphi
So...
[21:36] Sariphi
So have faith and be patient!
[21:38] Sariphi
Let me stay with you!
[21:42] Leonhart
I've been waiting for that answer.
[21:45] Leonhart
Your previous ordeals
were assigned to you alone.
[21:49] Leonhart
I could only gnash my teeth and watch.
[21:54] Leonhart
But a king shares responsibility with
his chosen consort, acting or not.
[22:00] Leonhart
This is a test of me, as well.
[22:03] Leonhart
Sariphi, I will always be with you.
[22:09] Sariphi
From now on, the two of us
[22:12] Sariphi
will share the same burden.
[23:26] Anubis
You accepted the post?!
You've gone too far, wench!
[23:30] Anubis
I hope you disgrace yourself on your first—
[23:32] Anubis
What is this strange presence I sense?!
[23:34] Amit
Lord Chancellor, would you
care for one of my amulets?

Begging Your Majesty's pardon!
Yet more letters have arrived!
[00:04] Royal Guard A
Zamanian envoys request an
audience with Your Majesty!
[00:08] Official B
Goya and Sarbul have sent envoys, as well!
[00:13] Anubis
All concerning the acting
queen consort, sire.
[00:16] Leonhart
Turn them away. They waste my time.
[00:19] Anubis
Are you certain that's wise?
[00:21] Leonhart
Nothing has even happened yet.
[00:24] Leonhart
Let them see the acting
queen's work for themselves.
[00:28] Leonhart
If they still object to her, then so be it.
[00:31] Leonhart
I'll hear their grievances then.
[00:35] Leonhart
Instruct the envoys to
tell their lords as much.
[00:38] Royal Guard A
Ye...
[00:38] Royal Guard A; B
Yes, sire.

[02:27] Amit
Another flood of envoys today.
[02:31] Amit
I'd expected backlash,
but this is still staggering.
[02:34] Amit
Lady Sariphi must be feeling nervous.
[02:39] Amit
I simply must step in
[02:42] Amit
to lift her spirits!
[02:50] Amit
Lady Sariphi—
[02:51] Sariphi
What's the matter, Amit?
You look so serious.
[02:56] Amit
Goodness.
[02:57] Amit
Oh, well... Lady Sariphi,
what are those garments?
[03:00] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor said that my normal clothes
were "too shabby for a queen's work."
[03:07] Clops
Y-You look l-lovely in your
usual clothes, too, Sari!
[03:12] Cy
Lovely!
[03:13] Sariphi
Thank you.
[03:15] Amit
You're so composed, Lady Sariphi.
[03:18] Amit
The palace is in an uproar,
and so is everywhere else.
[03:22] Sariphi
I know, and I can't pretend I'm not nervous.
[03:27] Sariphi
But worrying before I've even done
anything will get me nowhere.
[03:31] Sariphi
Brooding won't make me any more capable,
[03:36] Sariphi
so I've just got to do what I can,
as well as I can.
[03:45] Royal Guard A
So our next campaign is to Aiphos.
[03:47] Royal Guard B
I hear we're going to subdue an
armed band attacking cities.
[03:52] Amit
Royal guardsmen...
[03:54] Royal Guard A
They've been infighting on and off
since before the last king's reign.
[03:59] Royal Guard B
Anyway, we'd better keep our wits about us.
[04:05] Amit
Lady Sariphi has arduous duties
as acting queen consort.
[04:10] Amit
Captain Jormungand has perilous missions.
[04:14] Amit
And I...
[04:16] Amit
What can I do?
[04:23] Amit
I've got it!
[04:25] Amit
Murga, my homeland, has a tradition
of charms for fortune and protection.
[04:31] Amit
"May you suffer no injury."
[04:33] Amit
"May you never fall ill."
[04:35] Amit
"May your dreams come true."
[04:39] Amit
We imbue each plait with wishes and prayers
[04:43] Amit
to create an amulet of a thousand charms.
[04:46] Amit
This one is for Lady Sariphi,
who always gives me courage.
[04:52] Amit
And this one...
[04:54] Jormungand
This is for me?
[04:56] Amit
Y-Yes.
[04:58] Jormungand
Thank you, Princess Amit.
[05:01] Jormungand
I had no idea that you
cared so deeply for me.
[05:05] Amit
Captain Jormungand...
[05:07] Jormungand
Princess Amit...
[05:11] Amit
Oh, what am I thinking?!
[05:21] Amit
Thank goodness they haven't marched yet.
[05:23] Amit
I must give him my amulet
before the day is out.
[05:26] Royal Guard C
But why, Captain Jormungand, sir?!
[05:29] Royal Guard C
Why can't I march with
you on this campaign?!
[05:32] Royal Guard D
Enough! The captain is being considerate.
He knows your wife is with child.
[05:36] Royal Guard C
B-But, sir!
[05:38] Jormungand
Our duty is to obey the king's commands.
[05:41] Jormungand
And His Majesty wills that we
protect his virtuous subjects.
[05:47] Jormungand
That includes your family.
[05:51] Jormungand
Your first duty now is to protect
them in their time of uncertainty.
[05:57] Jormungand
No one else can see this mission done.
[06:02] Royal Guard C
U-Understood! Thank you, sir!
[06:07] Amit
Captain Jormungand...
[06:09] Royal Guard D
Won't you ever marry, sir?
[06:12] Jormungand
What brought this on?
[06:14] Royal Guard C
I'd also like to know, sir!
[06:19] Jormungand
I...
[06:24] Jormungand
swore to devote my sword, body,
and soul entirely to His Majesty.
[06:29] Jormungand
I intend never to wed.
[06:34] Sariphi
Wow!
[06:36] Sariphi
A charm for me?
[06:37] Sariphi
Did you make this, Amit?
[06:39] Clops
This is a Murgan amulet.
There's a charm on every weave.
[06:46] Cy
Every weave!
[06:47] Sariphi
I love it. Thank you.
[06:48] Clops
She loves it!
[06:49] Cy
Loves!
[06:49] Sariphi
It will be my treasure.
[06:52] Sariphi
And what about that other amulet, Amit?
[06:56] Amit
This is, well...
[06:58] Sariphi
Is it for Jormungand?
[07:02] Amit
La...
[07:02] Amit
Lady Sariphi!
[07:04] Sariphi
Wh-What's the matter?
[07:07] Amit
These amulets require praying for the
recipient through all thousand twists.
[07:14] Amit
Yet I... I...
[07:18] Amit
I couldn't help hoping that
this amulet would gain me
[07:22] Amit
Captain Jormungand's notice and affection.
[07:27] Amit
I'm ashamed beyond words.
[07:30] Amit
I cannot possibly give him such a gift.
[07:35] Sariphi
Amit, is wishing for the person
you love to acknowledge you
[07:39] Sariphi
really something to be ashamed of?
[07:42] Sariphi
It doesn't seem that way to me.
[07:44] Amit
But, Lady Sariphi, you would never
put your own wants first like I have!
[07:51] Sariphi
That's not true.
[07:53] Sariphi
All I've done so far is give up
on everything I want to do.
[08:00] Sariphi
I haven't achieved anything on my own.
[08:05] Sariphi
But now I'm so greedy, I wouldn't
have believed it a little while ago.
[08:11] Amit
Y-You, greedy, Lady Sariphi?
[08:14] Sariphi
That's right.
[08:16] Sariphi
I mean, I'm just a human girl,
but I want to stand beside His Majesty.
[08:21] Sariphi
What could be greedier than that?
[08:23] Sariphi
So I think you should be a
little greedier, too, Amit.
[08:29] Sariphi
Every one of the thousand wishes you
put into that charm is genuine, right?
[08:38] Amit
I...
[08:40] Amit
I...
[08:43] Amit
Captain Jormungand!
[08:45] Jormungand
Is something the matter, Princess Amit?
You seem quite flustered.
[08:51] Amit
W-Well...
[08:53] Amit
Th-This is for you.
[08:55] Amit
It's a traditional Murgan amulet.
[08:58] Jormungand
For me?
[09:01] Amit
I imbued it with many charms
to protect you on your mission.
[09:06] Amit
Please, take this amulet with you.
[09:13] Amit
Oh, please forgive me.
[09:16] Amit
You live for duty, and yet here I am,
forcing my feelings on you.
[09:22] Amit
But even so, I...
[09:27] Jormungand
This is serious.
[09:30] Jormungand
If I fail to complete my mission safely,
I will injure your reputation.
[09:36] Jormungand
What?! N-No, um...
[09:38] Jormungand
I swear to return unscathed, so that I may
repay you for your thousand prayers.
[09:46] Amit
I...
[09:50] Amit
Thank you!
[09:51] Amit
I truly, truly love that side of you.
[10:00] Sariphi
Good for you, Amit.
[10:02] Clops
I wish I could be like Captain Jor.
[10:05] Cy
Jor.
[10:08] Sariphi
I'd better work hard, too.
[10:10] Sariphi
From now on, every day
will be like an ordeal.
[10:13] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[10:15] Sariphi
Your Majesty.
[10:17] Leonhart
Your first duty as acting
queen has been decided.
[10:26] Leonhart
We will go to the land of Sarbul.
[10:30] Leonhart
Sarbul is the nearest vassal kingdom
to the royal capital of Ozmargo.
[10:36] Leonhart
King Tet VII and his consort, Queen Calra,
[10:40] Leonhart
have four daughters and one newborn son.
[10:45] Leonhart
Sariphi, as acting queen consort,
you will give the prince your blessing.
[10:51] Sariphi
My blessing?
[10:53] Leonhart
No special etiquette is required.
[10:56] Leonhart
Ozmargo has lacked a queen since
my predecessor's consort passed away.
[11:02] Leonhart
Priestesses have performed
the rite in the many years since.
[11:05] Sariphi
Wouldn't the previous queen
be the king's mother?
[11:11] Sariphi
But he sounds so distant
when he speaks about her.
[11:16] Sariphi
No.
[11:17] Sariphi
Right now, I need to focus
on the job in front of me.
[11:22] Calra
I beseech you, sire!
[11:25] Calra
Please refuse the rite of blessing!
[11:29] Tet
Don't be unreasonable, Calra!
[11:31] Tet
The rite of blessing is
an Ozmargan tradition.
[11:35] Tet
As a vassal state, we must
abide by their customs.
[11:40] Calra
But how can we let a human hold Calcara?
[11:44] Calra
He's our precious little prince!
[11:48] Vassal
Begging Your Majesty's pardon!
[11:51] Vassal
The frontier guards report that the king
of Ozmargo has crossed our borders.
[11:56] Tet
I see.
[11:57] Tet
I have no more time to waste
listening to your whims.
[12:02] Tet
Prepare the prince to greet
the king of Ozmargo!
[12:05] Calra
Sire!
[12:12] Calra
Calcara...
[12:14] Calra
His Majesty thinks only of
our national reputation.
[12:18] Calra
No one will lend an ear to my concerns.
[12:23] Calra
Oh, my dear little Calcara.
[12:26] Calra
Don't be afraid. I won't let
any human lay a hand on you.
[12:31] Calra
No matter what, I'll keep you safe.
[12:37] Subject 1
The king of Ozmargo is here!
[12:40] Subject 2
Your Majesty!
[12:41] Subject 3
Long live the King of Ozmargo!
[12:43] Subject 4
Long may he reign!
[12:54] Soldier A
The king of Ozmargo...
[12:56] Soldier B
Our king's nowhere near as intimidating.
[12:59] Tet
Welcome and well met,
Your Royal Majesty of Ozmargo.
[13:04] Leonhart
I believe I told you that
I needed no grand welcome.
[13:07] Tet
Yes. Please forgive me.
[13:11] Tet
This was the very least I could do
to greet Your Most August Majesty.
[13:16] Tet
And this must be...
[13:20] Soldier C
So that's the human girl the king
of Ozmargo wants for his queen.
[13:28] Sariphi
It's a pleasure to meet Your Majesties,
King Tet VII and Queen Calra of Sarbul.
[13:35] Sariphi
I have come as the acting
queen consort of Ozmargo
[13:39] Sariphi
to perform the rite of blessing
on your royal son.
[13:44] Sariphi
You may call me Sariphi.
[13:47] Tet
My, what a surprise!
[13:50] Tet
I had heard of your human lady, but I never
dreamed she would be so charming!
[13:55] Tet
Did you, Calra?
[13:57] Calra
No. She is...
[13:59] Calra
truly lovely.
[14:05] Calra
I really ought to have brought
the prince to greet you as well,
[14:10] Calra
but he has been feeling
somewhat unwell all morning.
[14:14] Tet
What, Calra?!
[14:15] Sariphi
Is he all right?
[14:18] Calra
You honor us with your concern.
[14:21] Calra
I promise he will be fit for the royal
presence before the rite tomorrow.
[14:27] Tet
W-Well, then, I will have a magnificent
feast prepared for this evening.
[14:35] Tet
Please enjoy the finest
cuisine Sarbul can offer.
[14:39] Calra
Acting Queen Sariphi, I am told that
strong drink disagrees with you,
[14:44] Calra
so I have prepared a mild fruit wine.
[14:48] Calra
I hope that it pleases you.
[14:51] Clops
They're treating Sari like a proper guest.
[14:55] Clops
And the queen of Sarbul seems nice.
I'm so relieved.
[14:59] Cy
Relieved.
[15:00] Cy
Ah! You ate!
[15:03] Clops
It was delicious!
[15:10] Anubis
Lady Sariphi, allow the servers to pick it up.
[15:14] Sariphi
Oh, I'm sorry.
[15:17] Sariphi
Huh?
[15:18] Sariphi
Oh, no. I feel kind of...
[15:23] Tet
I-Is anything the matter,
Your Majesty of Ozmargo?
[15:26] Tet
If anything disagrees with you, then...
[15:29] Leonhart
I feel somewhat fatigued today.
I will take my rest early.
[15:34] Leonhart
Come, Sariphi.
[15:36] Sariphi
What? Me, too?

Why wouldn't I take my queen
with me to my chambers?

[16:05] Sariphi
Yes.
[16:07] Leonhart
Then you mustn't put on a brave
face for me. It wouldn't be fair.
[16:17] Sariphi
Sire...
[16:20] Sariphi
You're right.
[16:22] Sariphi
I'm used to beasts not liking me,
and I came prepared for it.
[16:29] Sariphi
But earlier... I could hardly breathe.
[16:34] Sariphi
The feeling I got from the way
the queen acted...
[16:38] Sariphi
I've known it for a long time.
[16:40] Sariphi
Since the morning after
I learned I was a sacrifice.
[16:44] (Flashback) Mother
Oh, good morning, Sariphi. You're up early.
[16:47] (Flashback) Mother
Breakfast is ready.
[16:50] (Flashback) Mother
Go wake Maria for me.
[16:54] (Flashback) Sariphi
Okay.
[16:56] Sariphi
Right up until the day I
was offered as a sacrifice,
[17:00] Sariphi
they acted like nothing had happened.
[17:03] Sariphi
But it was suffocating, like sinking
to the bottom of a dark sea.
[17:10] Sariphi
I didn't feel like I was really alive.
[17:14] Sariphi
And the queen reminded me of back then.

Boor that I am, I cannot find the
right words for a time like this.
[17:34] Leonhart
So I'm imitating what you always do for me.
[17:48] Sariphi
Yah!
[17:51] Sariphi
Until a moment ago, I was getting cold feet.
[17:54] Sariphi
I was nervous about the rite tomorrow.
[17:58] Sariphi
I'm sure that suffocating
feeling will swallow me again.
[18:03] Sariphi
I didn't know if I could stand on my
own two feet and perform the rite.
[18:12] Sariphi
But...
[18:14] Sariphi
I'm fine now.
[18:17] Sariphi
As long as you're with me,
[18:19] Sariphi
I won't be in that cold, dark sea anymore.
[18:25] Sariphi
When I'm at your side, I can
always have warm dreams.
[18:33] Calra
There, there.
[18:35] Calra
Don't fret, Calcara.
[18:38] Calra
I won't let that human touch you.
[18:43] Calra
No matter what,
[18:45] Calra
I'll keep you safe.
[18:50] Priest
Let us now bless His Highness,
Calcara, first prince of Sarbul.
[19:05] Priest
The Lady Sariphi, acting queen
consort of Ozmargo,
[19:10] Priest
wishes to bestow her blessing
on Prince Calcara.
[19:16] Sariphi
Oh, he's adorable!
[19:25] Sariphi
I'll pick him up, and then kiss his forehead.
[19:31] Calra
Oh, goodness! What's wrong, Calcara?
[19:39] Calra
My humble apologies. He's usually
such a well-behaved boy.
[19:44] Calra
There, there, darling.
[19:48] Calra
We cannot continue the holy
rite while he's acting out.
[19:53] Calra
Loath as I am to ask this,
might we please postpone it?
[19:57] Tet
Wh-What are you saying, Calra?!
[20:00] Sariphi
Excuse me. I also think that
we should wait a little.
[20:05] Sariphi
I'd feel sorry for the baby, being held
when he doesn't want to be.
[20:09] Tet
B-But...
[20:13] Leonhart
Let my queen have her way.
[20:16] Leonhart
As we will stay through the day,
we need only attend to other matters first.
[20:23] Tet
Of course! Thank you, sire,
for your magnanimity.
[20:27] Tet
Let it be so.
[20:31] Anubis
I had heard rumors that Queen
Calra dotes on her only son.
[20:38] Anubis
I suspect that she is
shielding him deliberately.
[20:43] Anubis
She plans to avoid completing
the rite at any cost.
[20:47] Anubis
If she succeeds, our acting queen consort's
first duty will end in infamy.
[20:51] Anubis
What will you do, wench?
[20:58] Sariphi
Your Highness is still feeling
out of sorts, I see.
[21:01] Calra
Yes. I'm so terribly sorry.
[21:05] Sariphi
Um...
[21:06] Sariphi
If you don't mind, I could help soothe him
while Their Majesties finish talking.
[21:17] Calra
While I appreciate your offer,
[21:19] Calra
I could not be so cavalier with
the acting queen of Ozmargo.
[21:24] Calra
So thank you very much, but no.
[21:28] Sariphi
Oh, I see.
[21:29] Calra
You must have nothing to occupy
you until the talks end.
[21:34] Calra
Please, have a look around
our palace in the meantime.
[21:38] Calra
I'll summon someone to guide you.
[21:41] Sariphi
U-Um...
[21:43] Tetra
Please wait.
[21:46] Tetra
If the acting queen of Ozmargo
needs a guide, then allow me,
[21:53] Tetra
Mother.
[23:26] Sariphi
Tetra is so precocious and spirited.
[23:28] Sariphi
And she keeps the demands coming,
just like Mr. Chancellor.
[23:33] Anubis
Ah-choo!
[23:34] Sariphi
But that's all part of what
makes her such a cutie-pie!

Tetra! What are you doing here?
[02:05] Calra
Th-This is my fourth daughter, Tetra.
[02:08] Calra
She will accompany you through the palace.
[02:11] Calra
Now, if you'll excuse me.
[02:14] Sariphi
Um...
[02:16] Sariphi
Okay. Nice to meet you, Tetra.

Ugly!
[02:19] Cy
Wha?!
[02:20] Clops
What?!
[02:20] Tetra
I've never seen a human before,
but you're as hideous as everyone says.
[02:25] Tetra
No wonder my mother doesn't
want to let you hold Calcara.
[02:29] Clops
Where are your manners?!
You owe Sari an apology!
[02:32] Tetra
Servants should know their place.
[02:35] Tetra
So hold your tongues,
you cheeky little blobs.
[02:38] Cy; Clops
"Blobs"?!
[02:39] Sariphi
Wait.
[02:40] Sariphi
So Queen Calra really doesn't
want me to perform the ri—
[02:43] Tetra
Of course she doesn't.
[02:45] Tetra
No mother wants to let an
ugly freak touch her baby.
[02:49] Tetra
Don't get ideas above your station, ugly.
[02:52] Sariphi
I knew it.
[02:55] Sariphi
What should I do?
[02:57] Tetra
I might be able to pull
some strings for you.
[03:01] Sariphi
Huh?
[03:03] Tetra
Now, listen closely, Sariphi.
[03:05] Tetra
I'm going to throw this stone.
[03:08] Tetra
You must catch it and bring it back to me.
[03:10] Clops
Don't be ridiculous! Sari's no dog!
[03:14] Tetra
Are you sure you want to
take that tone with me?
[03:16] Tetra
If you become my minion, I'll ask my mother
to let you perform the rite of blessing.
[03:22] Tetra
So if you want to win her favor,
start by doing as I say.
[03:27] Tetra
Now fetch!
[03:29] Clops
We don't have time to play
along with these childish games!
[03:31] Tetra
Oh, and that stone is a national treasure
from my mother's trousseau.
[03:39] Tetra
Look at you run.
[03:42] Tetra
Now, what should I do nex—
[03:44] Sariphi
Here. You should be more careful
with your mom's jewelry.
[03:50] Tetra
What? Don't tell me what to do, minion.

But, Tetra—

Oh, that's right. I was having so

Horses don't walk on two legs.

Oh, you're right.
[05:17] Tetra
You really are an idiot.
[05:19] Tetra
Buttering me up won't improve
your chances with my mother.
[05:24] Tetra
She only cares about my little brother.
[05:27] Tetra
I don't matter to her.
[05:30] Tetra
In fact, she sees me as
a disobedient nuisance.
[05:36] Tetra
I know Calcara is more important.
[05:40] Tetra
He's the heir my parents have always wanted.
[05:43] Tetra
All three of my elder
sisters were married off.
[05:46] Tetra
And someday, I'll be given to some man
I don't know in a strange country, too.
[05:51] Tetra
Like a sacrifice.
[05:54] Tetra
My mother can't wait to get rid of me.
[06:00] Sariphi
I don't think she does.
[06:03] Sariphi
People with no love at all
have darker, colder eyes.
[06:10] Sariphi
But that wasn't how the queen looked at you.
[06:13] Sariphi
I'm sure she does love you, but maybe
she can't figure out how to show it.
[06:20] Sariphi
Just like you right now.
[06:26] Sariphi
Your Highness?!
[06:27] Tetra
Don't try to sugarcoat things.
[06:29] Tetra
I don't want fake sympathy from you.
[06:32] Tetra
I know I'm an unwanted child.
[06:35] Tetra
I made up my mind a long time ago.
[06:39] Tetra
While the king of Ozmargo is here,
[06:41] Tetra
I'll outdo myself and give
my mother one last headache
[06:45] Tetra
by jumping off the tallest
tower in the palace!
[06:49] Sariphi
Wait!
[06:53] (Flashback) Gossip
Another girl?
[06:56] (Flashback) Gossip
How long must we wait
for the birth of an heir?
[07:00] (Flashback) Calra's Father
Do you realize how hard I labored
to marry you into the royal family?
[07:05] (Flashback) Calra's Father
Don't you dare disgrace me further!
[07:08] Calra
Oh, Calcara.
[07:10] Calra
You are my hope.
[07:13] Vassal A
Your Majesty!
[07:14] Calra
What are you doing, making such
a racket? You'll wake Calcara.
[07:19] Vassal A
I beg your pardon,
[07:21] Vassal A
but it's about Princess Tetra.
[07:26] Tet
My humble apologies.
[07:28] Tet
I deeply regret these difficulties
with the sacred rite of blessing.
[07:32] Sariphi
Princess Tetra!
[07:34] Tet
Tetra?!
[07:38] Tetra
Don't come closer!
[07:39] Tetra
I'll jump if you do!
[07:41] Clops
You only get one life!
You shouldn't waste it!
[07:47] Cy
Don't!
[07:48] Tetra
Even if I die, someone,
somewhere is born every day.
[07:52] Clops
That's not what I mean!
[07:54] Clops
If you throw away the life
your parents gave you—
[07:57] Tetra
Don't lecture me!
[07:59] Tetra
I didn't get a say in being born,
[08:03] Tetra
so what's wrong with choosing
when I end it for myself?
[08:06] Tetra
My life belongs to me! Who are you
to tell me what to do with it?!
[08:12] Sariphi
Come down from there, Your Highness.
[08:15] Sariphi
I'd love to play with you again.
[08:19] Tetra
You won't fool me with a lie like—
[08:21] Sariphi
I mean it.
[08:23] Sariphi
You're correct that only you have
the right to decide your future.
[08:28] Sariphi
So this is just a selfish request from me.
[08:34] Tetra
My mother was always weeping.
[08:37] (Flashback) Tetra
Don't cry, Mother.
[08:40] (Flashback) Tetra
I'm here. I'll always be here for you.
[08:45] Tetra
Then Calcara was born,
and her tears stopped.
[08:51] Tetra
I wasn't able to do that.
[08:54] Tetra
My birth didn't make a single person happy.
[09:01] Tetra
Look at this huge fuss.
[09:04] Tetra
People hate me more than ever.
[09:07] Tetra
I feel great.
[09:08] Tetra
My last act will be the biggest
payback I could hope for.
[09:15] Calra
Tetra...
[09:17] Sariphi
Wait!
[09:18] Sariphi
Your Highness, you said you want to
jump to make trouble for the queen,
[09:26] Sariphi
but are you sure it's not the opposite?
[09:29] Sariphi
Really, you just want your mom to smile.
[09:35] Tetra
I...
[09:36] Tetra
I...
[09:40] Calra
Tetra!
[10:00] Sariphi
Your Majesty!
[10:05] Sariphi
Were you scared?
[10:07] Sariphi
You won't try this again, will you?
[10:10] Tetra
But... But I...
[10:14] Sariphi
Thou art a sovereign's child.
[10:17] Sariphi
May thy noble path through life
[10:20] Sariphi
be peaceful and many times blessed.
[10:31] Tetra
Was that...
[10:33] Tetra
a blessing?
[10:35] Sariphi
I'm so glad that you were born.
[10:39] Sariphi
Otherwise, I would never have
met a girl as kind as you are.
[10:59] Calra
Tetra...
[11:01] Calra
I've never known her to cry so loudly.
[11:05] (Flashback) Tetra
Don't cry, Mother.
[11:08] (Flashback) Tetra
Mother...
[11:09] (Flashback) Calra
Don't talk to me right now.
[11:12] (Flashback) Calra
You'll wake Calcara. Go elsewhere.
[11:16] Calra
I was so obsessed with Calcara—
or rather, with my own duties as queen—
[11:23] Calcara
that I never even thought
to embrace her like that.
[11:27] Tet
M-My most sincere apologies!
[11:30] Tet
How could I not only allow this commotion,
but also tax your holy beast?
[11:34] Tet
I am truly ashamed that you were subjected
to such an unsightly spectacle.
[11:39] Leonhart
Did that princess appear
unsightly in your eyes?
[11:43] Tet
Sire?
[11:43] Leonhart
I take no interest in your family affairs,
[11:47] Leonhart
but if you heard her words,
[11:50] Leonhart
then placating me should not
be your chief concern.
[11:54] Leonhart
That is, if you are a father,
as well as a king.
[12:02] Anubis
Sire?
[12:13] Tetra
Mother...
[12:15] Tetra
I'm so sor—
[12:19] Calra
I'm sorry, Tetra. I'm so sorry.
[12:22] Calra
Forgive your foolish mother.
[12:28] Tetra
Mother!
[12:31] Calra
Acting Queen of Ozmargo,
[12:34] Calra
thank you for aiding my
daughter in my stead.
[12:39] Calra
Though it shames me,
[12:41] Calra
might I presume to ask one more favor of you?
[12:48] Sariphi
No one gets to decide how they're born.
[12:52] Sariphi
Birthplace, birth order, and status
[12:58] Sariphi
are out of all of our hands.
[13:01] Sariphi
And so, I pray,
[13:04] Sariphi
wishing that new lives
[13:06] Sariphi
may at least be peaceful and blessed.
[13:16] Anubis
I won't accept her.
[13:18] Anubis
I refuse to accept her.
[13:21] Anubis
Yet perhaps this girl
truly can change others.
[13:31] Tetra
So you used to be a sacrifice?
[13:33] Sariphi
Yup.
[13:35] Tetra
But you must have hated that, right?
[13:37] Tetra
Becoming the queen of beasts must have
been the only way you could escape.
[13:41] Sariphi
No. I had no say in anything,
not even whether I lived or died.
[13:49] Sariphi
But the first decision I made for myself
[13:52] Sariphi
was that I wanted to live
at His Majesty's side.
[13:55] Tetra
I guess that's one way to meet someone.
[13:57] Clops
You never know what will
happen if you keep living.
[13:59] Clops
The future has all kinds of encounters
in store for you, too, Your Highness.
[14:03] Tetra
I wonder.
[14:04] Tetra
Oh, that reminds me. The chancellor
of Ozmargo is awfully young.
[14:09] Tetra
He's just my type.
[14:11] Sariphi; Cy; Clops
What?!
[14:11] Tetra
What? Is he already spoken for?
[14:14] Clops
I... I don't think so,
but I wouldn't recommend him.
[14:18] Cy
Wouldn't.
[14:19] Tetra
Still, he's a Jackalian.
[14:22] Tetra
If we married, my Felidian
blood would lose out,
[14:25] Tetra
so our children would be Jackalians, too.
[14:28] Sariphi

be half and half?

Doing my duty so I could stay with His

But if...

if I could start a real family
with him someday, then...

His Majesty suffers because
of his own mixed blood.

How does he feel about the legacy
our relationship might leave?

Does he want that to happen?
[15:47] Sariphi
What's the matter, sire?
[15:50] Leonhart
Sariphi, I have something to tell you.
[16:00] Leonhart
We should be safe from prying eyes here.
[16:06] Sariphi
What do you want to tell me?
[16:09] Leonhart
Before I speak, let me ask you something.
[16:13] Leonhart
As king, I am duty bound
to produce an heir one day.
[16:18] Leonhart
Do you understand that?
[16:21] Sariphi
Yes.
[16:23] Leonhart
The true royal line of Ozmargo,
the blood of the kings of beasts,
[16:27] Leonhart
mingles with no other strain,
passing unchanged to our children.
[16:33] Leonhart
That is why we have continued to reign
over this realm of many peoples.
[16:39] Leonhart
But the blood in my veins is... different.
[16:43] Leonhart
I am not confident that I can
love a child born of my blood.
[16:48] Leonhart
I was...
[16:50] Leonhart
No, I don't recall my
parents loving me, either.
[16:54] Leonhart
By the time of my earliest memories,
I had no mother and no siblings.
[17:00] Leonhart
My father, the previous king,
was my only relative,
[17:04] Leonhart
and he was harsh with me.
[17:07] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Father!
[17:09] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Father, I've learned all
the ancient beast runes!
[17:13] (Flashback) Previous King
All royals learn to be both
warriors and scholars.
[17:17] (Flashback) Previous King
Do not boast of your every achievement!
[17:20] Leonhart
And at times, my father
imprisoned me in a small cell.
[17:25] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Father, let me out! Father!
[17:29] Young Leonhart
Father!
[17:30] Leonhart
In time, his motive made itself clear.
[17:33] Young Leonhart
I mustn't let anyone see me in this form.
[17:37] Young Leonhart
Father is protecting me.
[17:41] Leonhart
He neither praised nor coddled me.
[17:45] Leonhart
I felt sure he meant to
raise me into a fine king.
[17:50] Leonhart
I believed that love
underpinned all his actions.
[17:54] Leonhart
And then,
[17:57] Leonhart
one day, my father fell ill.
[18:01] Leonhart
My strict and mighty father was
wasting away. He didn't have long.
[18:07] Leonhart
Although saddened,
I entertained a faint hope
[18:12] Leonhart
that at the bitter end,
even my hard-hearted father
[18:17] Leonhart
would hold me tight and
tell me that he loved me.
[18:20] (Flashback) Previous King
So, I have come... to the end.
[18:23] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Father!

that I will leave you... when I die.

[18:32] (Flashback) Previous King
How mortifying...
[18:34] (Flashback) Previous King
Oh, how mortifying it is to die
and pass my throne to you!
[18:40] (Flashback) Previous King
How I loathe the filthy blood in your veins!
[18:45] (Flashback) Previous King
I have always despised you!
Detested you! Hated you!
[18:51] (Flashback) Previous King
You are an accursed demon child,
the greatest blot on my line!
[18:56] (Flashback) Previous King
One day, your blood will
bring this realm to ru—
[19:06] Leonhart
The king remained strong
and proud in his last illness,
[19:10] Leonhart
but even he wished to embrace
his son at the end.
[19:14] Leonhart
Or so the priests said,
with tears in their eyes.
[19:17] Leonhart
I learned later that my father's mind
had begun ailing long before his body.
[19:24] Leonhart
The priest who had been his chief
physician claimed not to know why,
[19:29] Leonhart
and the fact was buried,
never revealed to the people.
[19:34] (Flashback) Young Anubis
Your Highness will catch a chill.
[19:39] Leonhart
He loathed human blood so
deeply that it drove him mad.
[19:44] Leonhart
So why did he sire a child with a human?
[19:47] Leonhart
Why did he never sire a pure-blooded beast?
[19:51] Leonhart
I never considered those questions.
[19:54] Leonhart
I merely cursed my own blood.
[19:58] Leonhart
The thought of passing it to my heirs
filled me with nothing but terror.
[20:10] Leonhart
Forgive me, Sariphi,
[20:12] Leonhart
for telling you of such unpleasant things.
[20:15] Sariphi
No, don't apologize.
[20:19] Sariphi
I still didn't understand.
[20:22] Sariphi
His Majesty—Leo—doesn't just see
his human side as weak or inferior.
[20:30] Sariphi
To him, it truly is a curse.
[20:34] Leonhart
Don't look so downhearted, Sariphi.
[20:38] Leonhart
Today, another of my fears
became a thing of the past.
[20:42] Sariphi
What?
[20:43] Leonhart
I couldn't choose the blood
and status I was born with,
[20:47] Leonhart
but I was able to choose you.
[20:51] Leonhart
To me, your presence is the true blessing.
[20:56] Leonhart
No matter what predicament
my blood places my heirs in,
[21:01] Leonhart
if they are the children of our union,
[21:04] Leonhart
then I swear on my name, Leonhart,
to defend them with all my body and soul.
[21:11] Sariphi
"Children of our union"?
[21:15] Sariphi
Then... that means...
[21:20] Leonhart
When I have become a truly mighty king,
as I once promised you I would,
[21:25] Leonhart
I want you beside me as my queen.
[21:29] Leonhart
Then,
[21:31] Leonhart
one day, we shall consummate our union.
[21:44] Sariphi
Yes!
[21:46] Sariphi
I pray that someday this curse
will become a sign of blessing.
[21:55] Tetra
Are you really leaving already?
[21:57] Sariphi
Yes. Thank you for everything,
Te—Your Highness.
[22:01] Tetra
"Tetra" is fine.
[22:03] Tetra
Come play with me again... Sari.
[22:08] Calra
As her mother, allow me to
extend the same invitation.
[22:13] Calra
Please, always remain a friend
to my daughter Tetra.
[22:19] Tetra
Calcara can play with us, too,
once he grows up a little.
[22:23] Sariphi
I can't wait.
[22:25] Tetra
Listen, Calcara. I'm your big sister.
[22:29] Tetra
You're the little brother.
I'm the big sister.
[22:32] Calcara
B-Big... shishta.
[22:35] Sariphi
He talked!
[22:36] Cy; Clops
Talked! Talked!
[22:38] Tetra
Say it again, Calcara! Say it again!
[22:41] Clops
I want to hear it again!
[22:48] Sariphi
Everyone
[22:50] Sariphi
is moving ahead,
[22:53] Sariphi
step by step.
[23:04] Leonhart
You only just completed
your first duty at last.
[23:07] Leonhart
Don't push yourself too hard. Rest.
[23:10] Sariphi
R-Right. Thank you.
[23:16] Sariphi
We managed to take a step forward,
too, didn't we? A huge stride.
[23:25] Anubis
What is the world coming to?!
[23:27] Anubis
The king, of all people, slipping out
for a tryst with a human wench?!
[23:31] Anubis
To top it off, they exchanged
that unspeakable vow!
[23:34] Anubis
And now, the leader of her personal
guard is to be... H-Hyenian?!

[00:01] Amit
My, Lady Sariphi.
[00:03] Amit
What an enthusiastic reader you are.
[00:07] Sariphi
I have a lot to learn before
I can be a great queen.
[00:11] Amit
Goodness. That explains your
interest in beast history.
[00:15] Amit
Has your next duty as acting
queen consort been decided yet?
[00:21] Sariphi
Good question. I wonder
what kind of job it will be.
[00:25] Amit
You're always so composed, Lady Sariphi.
[00:29] Sariphi
Not really.
[00:31] Sariphi
I know I might struggle on my own,
but I'm not alone anymore.
[00:36] Sariphi
I have you and everyone else.
[00:41] Sariphi
And...
[00:42] Clops
Sari!
[00:44] Clops
We thought we'd find you here!
[00:47] Clops
His Majesty summons you!
[00:48] Cy
Summons!
[00:50] Sariphi
Could it be...
[00:56] Sariphi
Your Majesty!
[00:58] Leonhart
There you are.
[00:59] Leonhart
I wish to discuss your next task.
[01:01] Sariphi
I knew it!
[01:03] Leonhart
This is not yet set in stone,
[01:06] Leonhart
but you are to visit troops
stationed in the city of Maasya.
[01:10] Sariphi
Troops?
[01:11] Leonhart
The Maasya garrison has been away
from Ozmargo since before your arrival.
[01:17] Leonhart
You have yet to meet
any of them face-to-face.
[01:20] Sariphi
Then I'd better say hello and cheer them up!
SIGN BAM
SIGN BAM
[01:24] Sariphi
Don't worry. I can do this!
I'll make a great first impression!
[01:26] Leonhart
I wasn't finished.
[01:28] Leonhart
I cannot accompany you on this visit.
[01:31] Leonhart
You are to travel to Maasya alone.
SIGN A Sympathy Call and a Hyena Guard Captain
[03:13] Sariphi
All on my own?
[03:15] Leonhart
Naturally, I was opposed.
[03:18] (Flashback) Leonhart
I won't have it.
[03:19] (Flashback) Leonhart
I refuse to send Sariphi alone.
[03:21] (Flashback) Anubis
But sire, your old friend Archduke
Kaldos is reportedly on his death bed.
[03:27] (Flashback) Anubis
You must go to him tomorrow.
[03:29] (Flashback) Leonhart
Then postpone Sariphi's visit.
[03:32] (Flashback) Anubis
Impossible, sire.
[03:34] (Flashback) Anubis
Although Maasya has long been
lordless due to political strife,
[03:38] (Flashback) Anubis
its new ruler has just recently been chosen.
[03:42] (Flashback) Anubis
The appointment must be confirmed
in the royal presence.
[03:46] (Flashback) Anubis
And in the king's absence, the queen
traditionally stands in as witness.
[03:51] (Flashback) Anubis
Therefore, sire, might I suggest
[03:54] (Flashback) Anubis
that you permit Lady Sariphi to
make her own choice in this matter?
[03:58] Leonhart
There isn't much time, but this is something
that concerns you personally.
[04:02] Leonhart
Consider your choice carefully.
[04:05] Sariphi
I'll go!
[04:08] Sariphi
I'll go to Maasya alone.
[04:10] Sariphi
I'll be fine without you, sire.
[04:13] Sariphi
So please, don't worry about me,
and focus on what you need to do.
[04:18] Sariphi
Now that that's settled,
I have a lot of packing to do.
[04:21] Sariphi
See you later, sire!
[04:35] Leonhart
Well then, Anubis, I leave the rest to you.
[04:37] Anubis
As Your Majesty commands.
[04:40] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[04:41] Sariphi
Welcome back, Your Majesty.
[04:44] Sariphi
Sorry about the mess.
[04:46] Leonhart
Are you taking all of those with you?
SIGN STUFFED
SIGN STUFFED
[04:49] Sariphi
Well...
[04:51] Sariphi
I wanted to be ready for anything,
but I overdid it.
[04:55] Leonhart
Forgive me, Sariphi,
for placing this burden on you.
[04:58] Sariphi
It's no burden at all!
[05:00] Sariphi
Really, I'm fine!
[05:01] Leonhart
That's what I mean.
[05:02] Sariphi
You hide your own unease to spare me worry.
[05:08] Sariphi
I guess I can't fool you, huh?
[05:11] Sariphi
But while you're right that I'm nervous,
[05:15] Sariphi
that really isn't all I'm feeling.
[05:17] Sariphi
I've never been away from you
for very long, you know?
[05:22] Sariphi
So how nervous this makes me just shows
how much I've been depending on you.
[05:29] Sariphi
But if I prove that I can
handle this job on my own,
[05:35] Sariphi
then you'll have a little
less reason to worry,
[05:39] Sariphi
and I'll get a step closer to
the queen I want to become.
[05:45] Sariphi
That thought makes me just
as thrilled as I am afraid.
[05:49] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[05:51] Leonhart
You always leave me in your dust.
[05:57] Leonhart
Am I alone in feeling lonely at our parting?
[06:03] Sariphi
O-Of course I'll miss you, too!
[06:06] Sariphi
I'll be so lonely without you!
[06:08] Leonhart
You will? Then...
[06:10] Leonhart
may I take those feelings of yours with me?
[06:16] Sariphi
Yes.
[06:17] Sariphi
So will I.
[06:19] Sariphi
I'll always be with you, Leonhart.
[06:23] Sariphi
You and your courageous heart.
[06:26] Vassal B
Depart!
[06:32] Sariphi
Have a safe trip, sire!
[06:38] Sariphi
Huh? Mr. Chancellor?
Aren't you going with the king?
[06:42] Anubis
I am carrying out His Majesty's direct orders.
[06:45] Sariphi
To do what?
[06:47] Anubis
To furnish my queen with a new guard
before she departs the capital.
[06:51] Anubis
They will be your sword and shield—
a new force at your command.
[06:56] Sariphi
A new force?
[06:58] Anubis
Ordinarily, the Queen's Guard would be
selected through rigorous screening.
[07:03] Anubis
But as time is short, His Majesty
made several appointments yesterday.
[07:08] Anubis
However,
[07:09] Anubis
he commanded that you yourself
choose the captain, your right-hand man.
[07:20] Clops
No one's here.
[07:22] Anubis
The Queen's Guard are the most
honored of the palace troops.
[07:26] Anubis
We would normally be inundated with
volunteers, even on such short notice.
[07:31] Anubis
But even at His Majesty's command,
[07:33] Anubis
no one in this realm wishes to
pledge loyalty and service to you.
[07:39] Anubis
Not a single one.
[07:40] Anubis
This is the reality of your present pli—
[07:43] Lanteveldt
Hey, outta my way!
[07:46] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor!
[07:48] Lanteveldt
Man, how slow can you be?
I warned you to move.
[07:51] Clops
Wh-Wh-Who are you?!
[07:53] Anubis
Get off me this instant!
[07:55] Anubis
And who might you be?
[07:57] Lanteveldt
Queen's Guard volunteer number one,
[07:59] Lanteveldt
from the Hyenian Autonomous District.
[08:02] Lanteveldt
Lanteveldt, at your service.
[08:05] Sariphi
Lanteveldt the Hyenian?
[08:07] Sariphi
Hello. I'm Sariphi.
[08:09] Sariphi
It's so nice to—
[08:10] Anubis
Wait, girl.
[08:12] Anubis
I am under no obligation
whatsoever to advise you,
[08:15] Anubis
but choose your right-hand man more carefully.
[08:18] Anubis
This fellow lacks even the most basic
courtesy expected of a palace guard.
[08:23] Anubis
And he is Hyenian to boot!
[08:25] Sariphi
But no one else wants to guard me, right?
[08:30] Sariphi
You just said so yourself.
SIGN He said it.
SIGN He said it.
[08:33] Anubis
True...
[08:34] Anubis
But at least test his skill
in combat before you—
[08:39] Lanteveldt
Do you ever shut up?
[08:41] Lanteveldt
Maybe I should show off my skills on you.
[08:45] Anubis
Arrogant whelp...
[08:46] Sariphi
Okay, that's enough!
I can see that you're strong.
[08:51] Sariphi
I hereby name you captain of the
acting queen's personal guard.
[08:54] Sariphi
Nice to meet you, Lanteveldt.
[09:00] Lanteveldt
Sure. It's my pleasure.
[09:05] Lanteveldt
Ugh! This thing is so stuffy.
[09:08] Lanteveldt
I don't need any fancy uniform.
[09:11] Sariphi
But you look so good in it, Lanteveldt.
[09:13] Sariphi
Um... Can I call you Lante?
[09:16] Lanteveldt
Suit yourself.
[09:18] Lanteveldt
Anyway, a sympathy call isn't much
of a first mission as your guard captain.
[09:24] Clops
Where are your manners?!
[09:26] Lanteveldt
And then there's this carriage.
[09:29] Lanteveldt
Driver, turn southwest at the next fork!
[09:33] Driver
What?! B-But we must keep
to our prescribed route...
[09:37] Lanteveldt
The sun'll set on us if we do that.
[09:39] Lanteveldt
This is a shortcut, so get a move on!
[09:41] Driver
Y-Yes, sir!
[09:44] Sariphi
So, Lante, why did you
volunteer for my guard?
[09:50] Lanteveldt
Promotion.
[09:51] Sariphi
Promotion?
[09:53] Lanteveldt
Being a palace guard at all is a
pretty high rank for a commoner.
[09:58] Lanteveldt
Jumping straight to captain of the
Queen's Guard is normally impossible.
[10:02] Lanteveldt
But I figured there wouldn't be
much competition for this one.
[10:08] Lanteveldt
Still can't believe I was
the only volunteer, though.
[10:11] Lanteveldt
I sure am lucky you're human.
[10:18] Guard A
L-Look!
[10:20] Guard A
S-Sand serpents!
[10:22] Guard B
So many! Do they nest here?!
[10:24] Guard A
Oh, no!
[10:35] Sariphi
Clops!
[10:37] Queen's Guard C
No!
[10:39] Lanteveldt
Hold it.
[10:40] Guard C
C-Captain Lanteveldt?!
[10:42] Guard B
Why do you delay?!
[10:44] Guard B
Unless we act quickly, it will be too—
[10:45] Lanteveldt
I'm in command here.
[10:47] Lanteveldt
You wait when I tell you to.
[10:50] Sariphi
Clops!
[11:13] Sariphi
Lante...
[11:21] Guard A
I... I don't believe it.
He killed all those sand serpents
[11:25] Guard A
single-handedly?
[11:27] Lanteveldt
I'm glad you're not hurt,
[11:30] Lanteveldt
Your Acting Majesty.
[11:33] Guard A
Captain! What was the meaning
of your orders just now?!
[11:37] Guard B
One wrong move, and that would
have ended in disaster!
[11:41] Lanteveldt
Oh, pipe down. I didn't slip up,
so what's the problem?
[11:45] Guard B
What?!
[11:45] Guard A
Respectfully, sir, you changed
our course on a whim.
[11:49] Guard A
It's your fault that we stumbled
into that den of sand serpents.
[11:52] Guard A
Or could it be
[11:54] Guard A
that you led us there deliberately?!
[11:57] Guard B
Y-You must be after the acting queen's life!
[12:00] Guard A
I knew we should never have
trusted a Hyenian in the first—
[12:03] Sariphi
Wait!
[12:06] Sariphi
We all made it out safely, so please,
don't fight among yourselves.
[12:10] Guard A
Him, one of us? Don't make me laugh.
[12:13] Guard A
I can't believe I have to
take orders from this pup.
[12:16] Guard B
If I may speak my mind,
[12:18] Guard B
I would not guard a human, either,
if His Majesty had not commanded it.
[12:22] Guard C
You said it. We really drew the short straw.
[12:26] Lanteveldt
Aren't you suspicious, too?
[12:29] Lanteveldt
Don't you wanna know if I led you
to those serpents on purpose?
[12:33] Sariphi
I'm not sure. I don't know you
well enough to doubt you.
[12:38] Lanteveldt
Yeah? So you'll doubt me once
you get to know me better?
[12:43] Lanteveldt
About earlier...
[12:45] Lanteveldt
They're half right. I did send
you that way on purpose.
[12:51] Clops
Wh-Why?! Don't tell me you
really do want Sari dead?!
[12:55] Lanteveldt
To make a name for myself.
[12:58] Lanteveldt
Getting you through that safely
oughta be a feather in my cap.
[13:01] Cy
What?!
[13:02] Lanteveldt
If you died, I'd lose my head,
not to mention my job.
[13:06] Lanteveldt
I promise I'll keep you alive, so put in
a good word for me with the king.
[13:12] Clops
We won't let you off the hook that easily!
[13:15] Cy
Won't!
[13:16] Clops
First of all, how can we possibly trust—
[13:18] Sariphi
All right.
[13:19] Cy; Clops
What?!
[13:20] Sariphi
My safety is in your hands.
I'm counting on you.
[13:26] Clops
S-Sari?! Did you forget how much
danger you were just in?!
[13:30] Sariphi
Well, he did save me.
[13:31] Clops
If not for him, you wouldn't
have needed saving!
[13:35] Sariphi
But we might still have run into
trouble on our original route.
[13:39] Clops
But...
[13:41] Sariphi
Still, Lante, I want you
to promise me one thing.
[13:45] Sariphi
You're free to use me to
make a name for yourself,
[13:49] Sariphi
but never put anyone else in danger again.
[13:53] Sariphi
Protecting me should earn you
all the prestige you need.
[13:58] Clops
Sari...
[13:59] Lanteveldt
I'm surprised.
[14:01] Lanteveldt
Are you like this with everyone?
[14:04] Lanteveldt
I'd say people like you are
the least trustworthy of all.
[14:08] Lanteveldt
Still, I'll give you my word.
[14:10] Lanteveldt
And I'll take you up on
that offer to use you,
[14:13] Lanteveldt
Your Acting Majesty.
[14:17] Vassal C
The acting queen consort has arrived!
[14:21] Vassal D
Sh-She really is human.
[14:23] Vassal E
And look there. A Hyenian.
[14:26] Vassal F
What is one of them doing here?
[14:31] Lanteveldt
Hey, you old-timers there.
[14:34] Vassal F
O-Old—
[14:36] Lanteveldt
If you've got something to say,
say it to my face.
[14:38] Lanteveldt
You're creeping me out.
[14:39] Vassal E
Wh-What impudence!
[14:41] Lanteveldt
You're the impudent one here.
I'm the captain of the Queen's Guard.
[14:46] Vassal F
You?! Impossible!
[14:48] Lanteveldt
I outrank common soldiers like you,
so watch your tongue.
[14:53] Vassal E
What was that?!
[14:55] Vassal D
Why, you...
[14:56] Sariphi
Lante, please...
[14:57] Teiryn
You there! What's all this commotion?
[14:59] Vassal E
C-Captain Teiryn!
[15:01] Teiryn
Cut the chitchat and return to your posts.
[15:04] Vassal E
Y-Yes, sir!
[15:05] Teiryn
My humble apologies, Acting Queen Consort.
[15:09] Teiryn
I am Teiryn, commander
of the Maasya garrison.
[15:12] Sariphi
Pleased to meet you. I'm Sariphi—
[15:14] Teiryn
I realize that you must be
fatigued from your journey,
[15:17] Teiryn
but would you kindly address
the troops at once?
[15:21] Teiryn
We haven't much time,
so please make it brief.
[15:25] Lanteveldt
He creeps me out, too.
[15:34] Clops
I have second-hand stage fright.
[15:36] Cy
Good luck, Sari!
[15:46] Sariphi
So many people.
[15:48] Sariphi
So many doubtful looks.
[15:50] Sariphi
That's nothing new, but...
[16:03] Sariphi
Hello, everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you.
[16:08] Sariphi
Hello!
[16:10] Soldier A
H-He...llo.
[16:14] Sariphi
I know a human girl dropping in out
of the blue must be confusing for you,
[16:19] Sariphi
but I really am Acting Queen Consort Sariphi.
[16:23] Soldiers
That's her?
[16:24] Soldiers
It's true, then.
[16:26] Teiryn
Silence!
[16:28] Sariphi
His Majesty, the king of Ozmargo,
gave me a message for you all.
[16:33] Sariphi
"Your service is still needed to preserve
the peace and stability of Maasya.
[16:39] Sariphi
Be aware—and proud—of your
roles as soldiers of Ozmargo.
[16:44] Sariphi
I wish you to do your duty each day
with mental and physical discipline."
[16:49] Sariphi
Those were His Majesty's words.
[16:51] Sariphi
Please, lend your support to our king.
[16:59] Clops
Great job, Sari!
[17:01] Lanteveldt
Was that really a good idea?
[17:03] Sariphi
Huh? Did I do something wrong?
[17:05] Lanteveldt
You didn't need to come
over all humble like that.
[17:08] Lanteveldt
You're the highest-ranking person here.
[17:11] Sariphi
Oh, I don't think I'm that important.
[17:13] Lanteveldt
There! That's what I'm talking about!
[17:15] Lanteveldt
How am I supposed to trust somebody
who doesn't like being in charge?!
[17:20] Lanteveldt
It's ridiculous!
[17:23] Braun
Acting Queen Consort,
[17:24] Braun
it is my honor to have been named
the present lord of Maasya.
[17:29] Braun
Braun is my name, and I have
eagerly awaited your arrival.
[17:35] Braun
We can hold the signing ceremony
first thing tomorrow morning.
[17:41] Sariphi
Is it that urgent?
[17:43] Braun
This land once permitted an
anti-monarchist insurgency,
[17:48] Braun
and our extended lack of a lord
has prolonged the chaos.
[17:53] Braun
Once the signing ceremony
is complete, however,
[17:56] Braun
even the rebel remnants should
settle down somewhat.
[18:01] Sariphi
Anti-monarchists, huh?
[18:04] Sariphi
I've read about them,
but they've never felt real before.
[18:08] Clops
But they're always a minority.
[18:10] Clops
You don't need to worry about them!
[18:12] Sariphi
I hope you're right.
[18:15] Sariphi
That reminds me!
[18:16] Sariphi
Didn't Lante say he was going
to stand guard in the corridor?
[18:20] Sariphi
Do you think he'll be cold
without a blanket?
[18:23] Clops
Forget about him!
[18:24] Clops
I bet he only said that as an
excuse to go slack off again!
[18:28] Cy
Again!
[18:29] Sariphi
There you go again.
[18:33] Sariphi
Lante?
[18:36] Lanteveldt
I already told you, I'm not plotting anything.
[18:39] Lanteveldt
Quit it with the false accusations, would you?
[18:41] Vassal G
Like we'd believe you! A Hyenian,
captain of the Queen's Guard?!
[18:46] Vassal H
Sure you're not an anti-monarchist
out to stop the signing ceremony?
[18:52] Lanteveldt
If I tried that, I could kiss
my career goodbye.
[18:56] Lanteveldt
I side with the powerful.
[18:58] Lanteveldt
Now, show some proof or shut up.
[19:01] Vassal G
You're a Hyenian!
That's all the proof we need!
[19:07] Vassal E
We're soldiers of Ozmargo,
sworn to the king's service!
[19:10] Vassal E
We can't overlook anyone
who might threaten him!
[19:14] Lanteveldt
Oh, okay. Have it your way, then.
[19:17] Lanteveldt
If you stand in the way of my success,
[19:20] Lanteveldt
I won't hold back.
[19:24] Lanteveldt
Yowch!
[19:26] Lanteveldt
What'd you do that for, you moron?!
[19:28] Sariphi
That's what I want to know!
[19:30] Sariphi
What are you doing out here
in the middle of the night?
[19:32] Sariphi
And that goes for you, too!
[19:33] Vassal G
A-Acting Queen, w-we were, um...
[19:36] Vassal I
We were questioning a suspicious person,
as is our duty as Ozmargan soldiers.
[19:42] Sariphi
What's so suspicious about Lante?
[19:45] Sariphi
I won't have you insulting
the captain of my guard.
[19:49] Vassal I
With all due respect, being human,
you must not be aware of beast history.
[19:56] Vassal I
You see, the Hyenians—
[19:57] Sariphi
I know.
[19:59] Sariphi
They once betrayed the Royal House of
Ozmargo and sided with an enemy nation.
[20:05] Sariphi
But that was all a long, long, long time ago.
[20:10] Sariphi
What does it have to do with Lante?
[20:12] Vassal I
W-Well...
[20:14] Vassal I
S-Some Hyenians now side
with the anti-monarchists.
[20:18] Sariphi
Can you prove that Lante is one of them?
[20:21] Vassal I
Understood, Acting Queen Consort.
[20:23] Vassal I
I admit that we were in the wrong.
We beg your pardon.
[20:28] Vassal I
But let me leave you with a word of warning.
[20:31] Vassal I
We trust you as little
as we trust that Hyenian.
[20:40] Lanteveldt
I knew I couldn't trust you.
[20:43] Lanteveldt
You said you didn't know me well enough
to doubt me, but you knew everything.
[20:49] Sariphi
I only read about your people in books.
[20:53] Sariphi
That's not enough to understand you, is it?
[20:59] Lanteveldt
All right, then. I'll tell you about me.
[21:02] Sariphi
Huh?
[21:04] Lanteveldt
Under the last king, my folks were
executed for a crime they didn't commit.
[21:10] Lanteveldt
I swore to wipe out the royal family in
revenge, so I became a palace guard.
[21:15] Cy
What?!
[21:17] Clops
H-How could you?!
[21:19] Lanteveldt
I'm lying, morons!
[21:21] Lanteveldt
I never knew my dad,
and my mom died of illness.
[21:25] Lanteveldt
And since I can lie with a straight face,
you'd be smart not to trust me much.
[21:31] Sariphi
That's funny. You look
incredibly honest to me.
[21:38] Sariphi
I mean, just now and when you
picked that dangerous road,
[21:42] Sariphi
you told the truth eventually.
[21:45] Sariphi
I just know you can't fool people with a
clear conscience. You're not the type.
[21:52] Sariphi
So I'll trust you.
[21:56] Lanteveldt
Yeah? Suit yourself.
[22:00] Lanteveldt
But you'd better get back
to your room and turn in.
[22:03] Sariphi
Oh, you're right! I'd hate to oversleep!
[22:06] Lanteveldt
I'll be back later.
[22:08] Sariphi
Okay.
[22:09] Sariphi
Thank you, Lante. Goodnight.
[22:16] Sariphi
I'll trust you.
[22:22] Lanteveldt
Idiot.
[22:24] Lanteveldt
You expect me to believe that?
[22:32] Sariphi
Good morning, Lante.
[22:35] Sariphi
His blanket...
[22:36] Sariphi
It doesn't look like he used it.
[22:38] Vassal J
H-Help! Is anyone there?!
[22:42] Vassal J
Someone attacked Lord Braun!
[23:26] Lanteveldt
Huh? I'm doing the preview?
[23:28] Lanteveldt
Well, whatever.
[23:29] Anubis
You there, Hyenian!
What are you doing in my spot?!
[23:32] Lanteveldt
Climbing the ranks.
They say you're out of a job.
[23:35] Anubis
Huh?
[23:36] Anubis
What?!

[00:01] Maasyan Assemblyman A
Fortunately, Lord Braun's injuries are light.
[00:05] Maasyan Assemblyman A
He wishes to hold the signing
ceremony as soon as he recovers.
[00:10] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Tell me, did he see his attacker?
[00:13] Maasyan Assemblyman A
No, the villain hid himself
under a hooded robe.
[00:18] Maasyan Assemblyman A
But he was a young man, somewhat taller
than Lord Braun, and he hid one eye.
[00:25] Maasyan Assemblyman C
His Lordship resisted and tore out
a tuft of his assailant's fur,
[00:30] Maasyan Assemblyman C
but its color proved to be unremarkable.
[00:34] Maasyan Assemblyman B
It will be difficult to
identify him by sight, then.
[00:36] Maasyan Assemblyman B
How in the world did he get in?
[00:39] Maasyan Assemblyman B
What were the guards doing?
[00:41] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Explain this failure, Captain Teiryn!
[00:44] Teiryn
Sir, I beg your—
[00:45] Weasel Guard
Please wait!
[00:48] Weasel Guard
We believe that we can name the culprit.
[00:52] Maasyan Assemblyman B
What?!
[00:56] Lanteveldt
What's all this fuss
first thing in the morning?
[01:01] Sariphi
Lante, where have you been?
[01:04] Lanteveldt
Oh, well, you know.
[01:06] Weasel Guard
There you have it. This man was
nowhere to be seen last night.
[01:10] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[01:11] Weasel Guard
Captain Lanteveldt of the Queen's Guard
is your man. I'm certain of it.
[01:17] Sariphi
Huh?
[01:18] Cy; Clops
What?!
SIGN A False Charge and a Lonely Hyena
[03:01] Maasyan Assemblyman B
So this is our culprit?
[03:04] Lanteveldt
Hold up. What are you talking about?
[03:07] Maasyan Assemblyman C
His Lordship did mention
that the man hid one eye...
[03:10] Weasel Guard
And he was already inside, so he
wouldn't need to breach security.
[03:16] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Then he really is Lord Braun's assailant?!
[03:20] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[03:22] Lanteveldt
You think I tried to assassinate the old fart?
[03:26] Lanteveldt
Gimme a break. That's ridiculous.
[03:28] Weasel Guard
What shameless conduct.
[03:30] Weasel Guard
Tell me, then: where were you all night,
and what were you doing?
[03:35] Lanteveldt
Well, I didn't feel like running into anyone,
[03:39] Lanteveldt
so I kind of zoned out on
top of this assembly hall.
[03:42] Weasel Guard
An obvious falsehood!
[03:44] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[03:45] Maasyan Assemblyman A
Suspicious.
[03:46] Maasyan Assemblyman C
Speak the truth!
[03:50] Lanteveldt
Hey! I told you I don't know anything!
[03:53] Lanteveldt
Quit hassling me, and—
[04:00] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Arrest this man!
[04:08] Sariphi
Lante told you that he doesn't know anything!
[04:11] Sariphi
So he's innocent. And I'll prove it.
[04:15] Maasyan Assemblymen
Wh-What?!
[04:18] Maasyan Assemblyman C
Acting Queen, do you mean to say
that you will apprehend the culprit?
[04:22] Weasel Guard
She could just frame someone
to escape responsibility!
[04:27] Teiryn
In that case, I shall accompany her.
[04:33] Teiryn
I bear responsibility for
allowing this crime to occur.
[04:37] Teiryn
I must see it resolved before
the ceremony tomorrow morning.
[04:41] Sariphi
Before tomorrow morning...
[04:44] Teiryn
But until the captain is cleared of suspicion,
[04:47] Teiryn
I must insist that he remain under guard.
[04:50] Lanteveldt
Hey!
[04:52] Lanteveldt
Let go of me!
[04:54] Sariphi
Lante.
[04:56] Sariphi
I believe in you, Lante.
[04:59] Sariphi
So believe in me, too, and wait.
[05:07] Lanteveldt
Why...
[05:10] Teiryn
Why do you trust him so completely?
[05:13] Sariphi
Because he's the captain of my guard!
[05:15] Teiryn
But I hear he was the only volunteer,
[05:18] Teiryn
and that he endangered your
whole group on the journey here.
[05:23] Sariphi
He promised me that he wouldn't put
other people in harm's way again.
[05:29] Teiryn
It is unwise to believe
everyone you meet so blindly.
[05:37] Sariphi
Even I've met people I couldn't trust.
[05:44] Sariphi
But my gut tells me Lante isn't
one of them, and I believe it.
[05:50] Sariphi
Because...
[05:52] (Flashback) Leonhart
Let Sariphi choose her own guard captain.
[05:57] Sariphi
...that's part of trusting His Majesty.
[06:02] Clops
Personally, I can't stand you.
[06:06] Clops
But Sari is running around to help you.
I can see her through Cy's eye.
[06:13] Clops
Sari really does believe in you.
[06:19] Clops
So...
[06:22] Clops
you ought to trust her, too.
[06:26] Lanteveldt
Why? I don't get it.
[06:29] Lanteveldt
She's... not normal.
[06:34] Lanteveldt
No one's ever covered
for me like that before.
[06:39] Lanteveldt
Not even back then.
[06:42] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Hang on, Mom! I promise
I'll buy you medicine!
[06:48] Young Lanteveldt
A long time ago, we Hyenians turned
traitor and sided against the king,
[06:54] Young Lanteveldt
so we're forced to live apart
in our autonomous district.
[06:58] Young Lanteveldt
One step outside, and everyone
looks down on us as traitors.
[07:03] (Flashback) Woman A
There he is again.
[07:05] (Flashback) Woman B
Oh, dear. A Hyenian outside their district?
[07:08] (Flashback) Man A
He might have come to steal something.
[07:12] Young Lanteveldt
But the other Hyenians called me
and Mom traitors, too, and cut us off.
[07:19] Young Lanteveldt
All because Mom had me with
a man from outside the district.
[07:27] Young Lanteveldt
Hyenians get almost no help from the
kingdom, and we're even more isolated.
[07:31] Young Lanteveldt
So now my mom's dying of a disease
that medicine could cure in no time.
[07:38] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Hang in there, Mom!
[07:41] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I finally saved up enough from working!
[07:44] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I'll buy you medicine right away!
[07:47] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Mister! Gimme some medicine!
[07:50] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
My mom's sick!
[07:52] (Flashback) Shopkeeper
You'd better be able to pay for it.
[07:56] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
'Course I can! Look!
[07:58] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Is this enough? Come on, hurry up!
[08:07] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Do I need more?
[08:14] (Flashback) Shopkeeper
Here, take it.
[08:18] (Flashback) Shopkeeper
Have her take it slowly, a third at a time.
[08:21] (Flashback) Shopkeeper
Don't drop it, now.
[08:23] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I won't! Thanks, mister!
[08:29] (Flashback) Soldier A
Stop right there!
[08:30] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Huh?
[08:31] (Flashback) Soldier B
Is that medicine you're holding?
[08:33] (Flashback) Soldier A
A kid's allowance wouldn't cover that.
How did you get it?
[08:38] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
W-Well, I went and...
[08:41] (Flashback) Soldier A
Sounds fishy. Did you steal it?
[08:44] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
No! I paid for it!
[08:47] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I worked and bought it with my pay!
[08:49] (Flashback) Soldier B
You? Don't lie!
[08:52] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I'm not lying! Ask the medicine seller!
[08:56] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
It's true! You've gotta believe me!
[08:58] (Flashback) Soldier A
Who'd believe a Hyenian?
[09:02] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
What? But...
[09:04] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Come on!
[09:05] (Flashback) Townsperson A
I always thought he seemed shifty.
[09:07] (Flashback) Townsperson B
This explains the wares I lost the other day.
[09:10] (Flashback) Townsperson C
Proud soldiers of Ozmargo would
never accuse a child without cause.
[09:18] (Flashback) Soldier A
I'm confiscating this.
[09:19] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Give it back! That's mine!
[09:22] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Give it back!
[09:24] (Flashback) Soldier A
You little...
[09:28] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Give it back.
[09:30] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
Give it back!
[09:32] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
I need that! Or my mom...
[09:34] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
My mom... My mom...
[09:37] (Flashback) Young Lanteveldt
My mom will die!
[09:49] Young Lanteveldt
Why didn't anyone believe me?
[09:54] Young Lanteveldt
Because I'm a kid? Because I'm a Hyenian?
[10:00] Young Lanteveldt
No.
[10:02] Young Lanteveldt
Because they outranked me.
[10:06] Young Lanteveldt
Everyone believes big shots.
[10:10] Young Lanteveldt
Of course they do. That's normal.
[10:13] Young Lanteveldt
No one would trust a word I—
[10:17] (Flashback) Sariphi
I believe in you.
[10:23] (Flashback) Lanteveldt
I'd say people like you are
the least trustworthy of all.
[10:27] (Flashback) Lanteveldt
And since I can lie with a straight face,
you'd be smart not to trust me much.
[10:33] Lanteveldt
I knew it.
[10:35] Lanteveldt
I'm a big, fat liar.
[10:38] Lanteveldt
The truth is, I always wanted
someone to trust me.
[10:44] Lanteveldt
To trust me*, even if I'm
some nobody Hyenian kid.*
[10:52] Lanteveldt
Someone like you, Sariphi.
[11:05] Clops
O-Oh, no!
[11:06] Clops
Hey! Bad news! We're out of ti—
[11:10] Clops
Huh?
[11:15] Clops
Lante...
[11:19] Guard
Get out.
[11:20] Guard
You've been exonerated.
[11:27] Teiryn
The culprit was a Badgerian
youth named Nagma.
[11:31] Teiryn
His appearance tallies with
Lord Braun's account,
[11:34] Teiryn
and he has confessed to the crime.
[11:37] Maasyan Assemblyman B
How in the world did you
find him, Captain Teiryn?
[11:40] Teiryn
That was the acting queen consort's doing.
[11:43] Clops
Sari!
[11:45] Sariphi
Lante! Clops!
[11:47] Clops
Sari!
[11:50] Sariphi
I'm so glad they let you go!
[11:54] Clops
How did you catch the real attacker, Sari?!
[11:58] Sariphi
Well, actually,
[12:00] Sariphi
I went by this.
[12:04] Maasyan Assemblyman B
The fur taken as evidence!
[12:07] Sariphi
To me, this color looks completely
different from Lante's fur.
[12:12] Clops
What?!
[12:13] Maasyan Assemblyman B
I beg your pardon?!
[12:15] Teiryn
It seems the acting queen, being human,
can distinguish colors that we cannot.
[12:22] Maasyan Assemblyman A
P-Preposterous!
[12:24] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Human eyes could not possibly
be superior to ours!
[12:28] Teiryn
This is not a question of superiority.
[12:30] Teiryn
In any case, we had nothing else to go on,
[12:35] Teiryn
so I asked the acting queen to find someone
whose fur matched in her eyes.
[12:41] Teiryn
I then rounded up members of that species
[12:47] Teiryn
and found one who behaved suspiciously.
[12:56] Teiryn
As he confessed when questioned,
I immediately escorted him here.
[13:02] Teiryn
A background investigation revealed
a history of anti-monarchist protest,
[13:09] Teiryn
and he claims to have been promised a
promotion for preventing this ceremony.
[13:15] Maasyan Assemblyman B
Hmm... I see.
[13:17] Maasyan Assemblyman A
At any rate, well done.
[13:20] Teiryn
Acting Queen, a thousand pardons for
wrongly imprisoning your guard captain.
[13:28] Sariphi
You don't owe me an apology.
[13:32] Sariphi
But I would like the people who suspected
Lante to tell him they're sorry.
[13:39] Teiryn
Naturally. I apologize once more
for my men's disrespect.
[13:45] Teiryn
But at present, let us arrange the ceremony
at once and resolve this matter.
[13:50] Teiryn
I realize you have not slept and must
be tired, but would you make ready?
[13:55] Sariphi
Okay. I understand.
[14:02] Clops
Hurry, Sari.
[14:03] Cy
Hurry.
[14:04] Sariphi
I know.
[14:08] Lanteveldt
So you had a lead from the start.
[14:11] Lanteveldt
No wonder you could say all
that about believing in me.
[14:15] Sariphi
That's not why I said it.
[14:18] Sariphi
But you're "lucky I'm human," right?
[14:24] Lanteveldt
Damn.
[14:29] Lanteveldt
I knew she was a crafty one.
[14:33] Lanteveldt
I can't beat her.
[14:38] Sariphi
Lord Braun Breuse, in the name of
His Majesty, the king of Ozmargo,
[14:42] Sariphi
I appoint you to govern this city of Maasya.
[14:52] Braun
I, Braun Breuse, humbly
accept this appointment.
[15:09] Sariphi
I hope that life in Maasya
settles down after this.
[15:13] Sariphi
Thank you, too, Captain.
[15:15] Sariphi
I couldn't have cleared
Lante's name without you.
[15:19] Teiryn
I did nothing of note.
[15:21] Sariphi
Why did you believe in evidence
that only I could see?
[15:27] Teiryn
Well, partly because I had
nothing else to go on.
[15:33] Teiryn
But when I saw a queen
aiding a lowly subject,
[15:37] Teiryn
to say nothing of a human
making every effort for a beast,
[15:43] Teiryn
it simply seemed like the right thing to do.
[15:48] Sariphi
Thank you. I hope I get to see you again.
[15:53] Teiryn
Unfortunately, that may not be possible.
[15:56] Sariphi
What?
[15:57] Teiryn
The culprit in this attack
[16:00] Teiryn
entered through a spot that
should have been guarded.
[16:04] Teiryn
In other words, my men abandoned
their posts without leave.
[16:09] Teiryn
And I suspect they cast blame
on your guard to hide that fact.
[16:15] Teiryn
Failing to detect that was
a grave failure on my part.
[16:19] Teiryn
I'll be demoted at best, and at worst...
[16:24] Teiryn
In any case, I cannot expect
to retain my current position.
[16:29] Sariphi
Oh, no...
[16:30] Lanteveldt
Ridiculous.
[16:32] Lanteveldt
None of that was your fault.
[16:35] Lanteveldt
Are you gonna take the fall for your men?
[16:39] Teiryn
A commander's role is not
to throw his weight around.
[16:43] Teiryn
This is what it means to be in authority.
[16:48] Sariphi
Okay. But I still want to see you again.
[16:54] Sariphi
So, until next time, Captain.
[16:59] Teiryn
Yes, until we meet again.
[17:14] Lanteveldt
Y'know, I...
[17:18] Lanteveldt
I'm gonna climb the ranks,
then kick back and take it easy.
[17:24] Lanteveldt
That's what I always wanted.
[17:26] Lanteveldt
'Cause without clout, a guy like me
would just get trampled underfoot.
[17:33] Lanteveldt
But...
[17:39] Lanteveldt
You believed in me. In my pride.
[17:47] Lanteveldt
Acting Queen Sariphi, Lanteveldt the
Hyenian will never forget this debt.
[17:55] Lanteveldt
Henceforth, I pledge my life
and my loyalty to you.
[18:07] Lanteveldt
And that was no lie.
[18:10] Sariphi
Of course it wasn't! I believe you, Lante!
[18:31] Soldier
The acting queen consort and her
party have returned from Maasya!
[18:38] Anubis
What?! What happened on the road?!
[18:44] Clops
Are you okay, Sari?
[18:49] Clops
Oh, watch out!
[18:55] Cy
Sari! Sari!
[18:55] Clops
Sari, are you hurt?!
[18:57] Lanteveldt
Don't be so dramatic. She's only sleeping.
[19:00] Clops
Sari!
[19:02] Cy
Ri!
[19:05] Anubis
As a precaution, I have sent
Lady Sariphi to rest in the infirmary.
[19:09] Anubis
And this is the man she chose to lead
her Queen's Guard, Lanteveldt.
[19:17] Leonhart
Hyenian, are you?
[19:21] Lanteveldt
Yeah. Is that a problem?
[19:24] Anubis
Remember your place!
[19:26] Lanteveldt
Don't worry. I won't stab you in the back.
[19:30] Lanteveldt
I don't care about you enough for that.
[19:32] Anubis
You dare address His Majesty thus?!
[19:36] Lanteveldt
Man, you never shut up, do you?
[19:39] Lanteveldt
I'm the captain of the Queen's Guard.
I don't even work for the king.
[19:44] Anubis
Th-That's nonsense!
[19:48] Anubis
He's like the wench all over again!
[19:51] Anubis
As a citizen of this realm, swearing
fealty to its king is your natural duty!
[19:56] Lanteveldt
That's so old-fashioned.
[19:58] Lanteveldt
You oughta at least choose
your own master, too.
[20:01] Anubis
Wh-What?!
[20:02] Anubis
I—
[20:10] Anubis
I... I beg your pardon.
[20:15] Leonhart
Lanteveldt, is it?
[20:18] Leonhart
Answer me one question.
[20:19] Lanteveldt
Wh-What is it?
[20:21] Leonhart
Do you take pride in your own blood?
[20:28] Lanteveldt
Are you testing me?
[20:31] Lanteveldt
Well, sorry, but I am proud to be Hyenian.
[20:37] Lanteveldt
No one hates themselves for who they are.
[20:40] Lanteveldt
They learn to hate themselves because
other people mock and insult them.
[20:45] Lanteveldt
I don't wanna end up like that.
[20:48] Lanteveldt
Not even if you order me
to give up my pride, sire.
[20:53] Lanteveldt
Sariphi's the only one who
gets to boss me around.
[20:56] Lanteveldt
She's the only person my heart will listen to.
[21:05] Leonhart
Very well, Lanteveldt.
[21:07] Leonhart
I hereby ratify you as captain of
my acting queen's personal guard.
[21:13] Leonhart
Become her knight—her sword
and shield—in title and in truth.
[21:20] Leonhart
Now, leave us.
[21:21] Anubis
Yes, sire.
[21:33] Lanteveldt
Me, a knight?
[21:42] Lanteveldt
All right. Why not?
[21:47] Lanteveldt
I'll do it.
[23:25] Amit
One, two...
[23:28] Sariphi
Why are you counting plates, Amit?
[23:32] Amit
They're flowers. This is a traditional
Murgan method of foretelling romance.
[23:35] Amit
I pray that he returns safe and sound.

Amit!
[00:04] Amit
Lady Sariphi, Sir Lanteveldt.
[00:08] Sariphi
What's wrong?
[00:10] Sariphi
You haven't seemed yourself lately.
[00:13] Sariphi
Is it something to do with Captain Jormungand?
[00:17] Amit
I heard that the Royal Guard should
already have returned by now.
[00:23] Amit
I'm beside myself with worry.
[00:27] Lanteveldt
The Guard's on campaign in Aiphos, right?
[00:30] Lanteveldt
The interspecies wars there
have been going on forever.
[00:34] Lanteveldt
They should just let the locals go at it.
[00:37] Sariphi
Don't worry, Amit.
[00:40] Sariphi
Jormungand has your amulet to keep him safe.
[00:44] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[00:46] (Flashback) Jormungand
I swear to return unscathed,
[00:48] (Flashback) Jormungand
so that I may repay you for
your thousand prayers.
[00:52] Sariphi
So I'm sure he'll be fine. Okay?
[00:58] Jormungand
After me! First Platoon, defend the civilians!
[01:02] Jormungand
The rest of you, secure the objective at once!
[01:07] Rattian A
This was once Rattian land
before you stole it from us!
[01:12] Rattian A
Justice is on our side!

No cause justifies turning a blade
against unarmed people!

You face me now!
SIGN Chance Meeting of a Boy and a Child
[03:00] Gatekeeper
The Royal Guard has returned
from Aiphos! Open the gates!
[03:11] Amit
Captain Jormungand...
[03:14] Jormungand
I, Captain Jormungand of the
Royal Guard of Ozmargo,
[03:18] Jormungand
have returned with 80 soldiers, sire.
[03:21] Leonhart
You have served me well.
I will hear your report later.
[03:24] Leonhart
Today, you and your men may take your ease.
[03:27] Amit
Thank goodness. They all
made it home safe and sound.
[03:37] Anubis
This mission seems to have
taken you longer than usual, Jor.
[03:41] Anubis
I believe I asked you not to absent
yourself overlong on campaign.
[03:45] Jormungand
And I asked you not to gripe
as soon as I get back, Abi.
[03:50] Jormungand
Why, Princess Amit.
[03:51] Amit
U-Um...
[03:53] Jormungand
What perfect timing.
[03:54] Amit
What?
[03:55] Jormungand
I have something to tell you.
Alone, if possible.
[04:00] Jormungand
May I have a moment of your time?
[04:03] Amit
Wh-What?!
[04:25] Amit
Wh-What could Captain Jormungand
have to say to me?
[04:30] Amit
O-Oh, dear. I mustn't get carried away.
[04:33] Amit
And yet I have so much to say to him, as well!
[04:37] Jormungand
Princess Amit.
[04:39] Jormungand
For you.
[04:43] Amit
That is... the amulet I gave you.
[04:47] Jormungand
Yes. I wish to return it.
[04:51] Amit
What?
[04:53] Amit
D-Did you find it, um, a hindrance?
[04:57] Jormungand
Perish the thought.
[04:58] Jormungand
Though our mission was perilous,
we all returned safely.
[05:03] Jormungand
I have no doubt your amulet protected us.
[05:05] Amit
Th-Then, well, if you don't mind,
[05:10] Amit
I'd rather you kept it with you.
[05:12] Jormungand
No, I am unworthy of it.
[05:16] Jormungand
Please,
[05:17] Jormungand
bestow this on someone for
whom you care more deeply.
[05:22] Jormungand
Good day.
[05:34] Sariphi
What? Jormungand said that?
[05:36] Amit
Yes. He just returned my amulet.
[05:39] Sariphi
Oh, no. But why?
[05:41] Lanteveldt
'Cause he doesn't need it anymore. Why else?
[05:44] Sariphi
Lante! Mind your manners.
[05:47] Amit
Sir Lanteveldt is right.
[05:51] Amit
This must be
[05:52] Amit
Captain Jormungand's reply to me.
[05:58] Lanteveldt
Talk about gloomy.
[05:59] Lanteveldt
Anyway, I can't believe you
two are so buddy-buddy.
[06:03] Sariphi
Of course we are. We're friends.
[06:05] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[06:07] Sariphi
I just can't accept this!
[06:10] Amit
Lady Sariphi?!
[06:15] Jormungand
Princess Amit's amulet?
[06:18] Sariphi
If you don't need it anymore,
I can't help that.
[06:21] Sariphi
But if you have another reason,
please tell me what it is.
[06:24] Sariphi
Amit put her heart into making that amulet.
[06:28] Sariphi
So...
[06:30] Jormungand
I must beg your pardon,
but I cannot answer that.
[06:34] Jormungand
It is a personal matter.
[06:36] Lanteveldt
Hold it! Don't be so stingy,
Mr. Royal Guard.
[06:41] Jormungand
And you are?
[06:42] Lanteveldt
Lanteveldt, captain of the
acting queen's personal guard.
[06:45] Lanteveldt
And don't you forget it.
[06:47] Jormungand
You lead the Queen's Guard?
[06:48] Jormungand
I see. So you're the one Abi—
the chancellor mentioned.
[06:52] Anubis
That insolent whelp is...
[06:54] Lanteveldt
I can more or less guess what he said.
[06:58] Lanteveldt
But anyway, how about you and I...
[07:01] Amit
A d-duel?! Between Captain
Jormungand and Sir Lanteveldt?!
[07:05] Amit
What could possess them to do such a thing?!
[07:07] Clops
We're not really sure.
Lante challenged him out of the blue.
[07:12] Cy
Blue.
[07:13] Amit
Th-Then... where are they now?!
[07:19] Jormungand
Lanteveldt, was it?
Why do you wish to battle me?
[07:24] Jormungand
My sword serves the king's will.
[07:27] Jormungand
Should you not wield your strength
for your liege's sake, as well?
[07:31] Lanteveldt
My "liege" is looking down
in the dumps because of you.
[07:35] Lanteveldt
So we're gonna fight, and if I win,
[07:37] Lanteveldt
I'm gonna make you answer
Sariphi's question.
[07:41] Lanteveldt
This is my idea of loyalty.
You got a problem with that?
[07:44] Leonhart
Give him his duel, Jormungand.
[07:46] Jormungand
Sire!
[07:47] Leonhart
I permit it.
[07:49] Jormungand
But...
[07:50] Leonhart
I've yet to see the captain
of the Queen's Guard fight.
[07:55] Leonhart
If he can hold his own against you,
then he should do the same in battle.
[07:59] Lanteveldt
Now Your Majesty's speaking my language.
[08:01] Anubis
How dare you address His Majesty
so flippantly after—
[08:03] Jormungand
Very well.
[08:05] Jormungand
If it is my king's command, then I,
Jormungand, humbly accept this challenge
[08:11] Jormungand
from Captain Lanteveldt
of the Queen's Guard.
[08:15] Clops
Oh, no! They've already started!
[08:22] Sariphi
Sire,
[08:24] Sariphi
why did you allow this duel?
[08:26] Sariphi
I wish you'd stopped them.
[08:29] Leonhart
I wanted to make sure of something.
[08:35] Lanteveldt
Don't get careless. Not everyone
you fight will stand on ceremony.
[08:40] Jormungand
Yes, I could say the same to you.
[08:44] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[08:47] Referee
Stop! We have a winner!
[08:51] Lanteveldt
Wait, that counted?!
[08:52] Lanteveldt
No fair! That's cheating!
[08:54] Leonhart
I see.
[08:56] Sariphi
Did you figure something out?
[08:58] Leonhart
Yes. I suspect that he is...
[09:01] Lanteveldt
One more time! I want a rematch!
[09:07] Amit
Captain Jormungand.
[09:12] Jormungand
Your Highness?
[09:14] Jormungand
How may I help you?
[09:20] Amit
P-Pardon me.
[09:24] Amit
I knew it! You are wounded!
[09:27] Amit
Um...
[09:28] Amit
Take this Murgan salve. It's well-suited
for Reptilian constitutions.
[09:34] Jormungand
How did you know? I tried to
hide it even from my own men.
[09:39] Amit
Lady Sariphi told me.
[09:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
His Majesty said that Jormungand's
swordplay seemed off to him.
[09:47] (Flashback) Sariphi
He wondered if the captain might be hurt.
[09:51] Jormungand
The king said that?
[09:53] Amit
You received that wound
on the campaign, didn't you?
[09:57] Amit
That's why you returned the...
[10:01] Amit
Forgive me.
[10:02] Amit
I'm so sorry that my amulet failed you.
[10:07] Jormungand
You're wrong.
[10:09] Jormungand
I returned your amulet because
I wished to spare you this distress.
[10:16] Amit
What?
[10:17] Jormungand
I blundered in the course of my duty
and failed to repay your kindness.
[10:25] Jormungand
As long as I held your amulet, any harm
I suffered would wound your heart.
[10:30] Jormungand
And so I returned it to you,
despite the discourtesy.
[10:37] (Flashback) Sariphi
So, Amit, this is just my guess,
but I think Jormungand must have...
[10:45] Amit
Captain Jormungand, I...
[10:49] Amit
I have no exceptional talent or strength.
[10:52] Amit
So I gave you that amulet
because it was the most I could do.
[10:58] Amit
You risk your life in battle.
[11:01] Amit
So from now on, I will risk mine, as well.
[11:06] Amit
I'll become so strong that
nothing can shake me.
[11:10] Amit
So... So...
[11:13] Amit
Please take this with you once more!
[11:28] Lanteveldt
Ugh! This sucks!
[11:30] Lanteveldt
I can't stand it!
[11:31] Clops
You put up a good fight.
[11:33] Sariphi
Yes, His Majesty said that you'd
make a good guard captain.
[11:37] Lanteveldt
Saying I held my own against an
injured guy isn't a compliment.
[11:41] Amit
Um, Lady Sariphi, how could you tell?
[11:46] Sariphi
Huh?
[11:47] Amit
That Captain Jormungand returned
the amulet for my sake, I mean.
[11:53] Sariphi
Just a hunch. I couldn't be sure.
[11:56] Sariphi
But if His Majesty had done it,
I'm sure that would be why.
[12:00] Amit
My goodness, Lady Sariphi!
[12:03] Lanteveldt
Ridiculous. You just wanna
brag about your love life?
[12:06] Lanteveldt
Still, you've got a real jumble
of people around you.
[12:10] Lanteveldt
You've got me, a Hyenian,
leading your guard.
[12:13] Lanteveldt
Your friend's a Reptilian princess,
your servants are Cyclopians,
[12:18] Lanteveldt
and your holy beast is this thing.
[12:20] Bennu
Who're you calling "this thing," nincompoop?!
[12:23] Lanteveldt
And to top it off, the king of
beasts is marrying a human.
[12:27] Sariphi
You're right, but I hope that
all this will be normal someday.
[12:33] Sariphi
That all of us, no matter the species,
accept that we're different,
[12:36] Sariphi
but also the same deep down.
[12:39] Sariphi
That's what I hope for.
[12:41] Lanteveldt
Now that's a pie in the sky.
[12:44] Sariphi
That's true.
[12:46] Sariphi
Yes, the hatred between beasts and humans
is more than simple preference.
[12:53] Sariphi
Even now, I know people out there are
suffering from wounds that I can't heal.
[13:00] Old Man
Are you really leaving?
[13:03] Ilya
Yeah. I hear beasts are snatching kids
farther east along the border.
[13:10] Ilya
As a professional beast hunter,
I can't ignore that.
[13:13] Old Man
I see. Take care, then.
[13:16] Old Man
Don't do anything too rash.
[13:18] Ilya
Thanks for everything, Gramps.
[13:21] Ilya
See you!
[13:33] (Flashback) Sariphi
Ilya!
[13:34] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'll see you again, won't I?
[13:42] Ilya
Beasts!
[13:43] Beast
Whoever you are, get out of our way!
[13:51] Ilya
You won't get away!
[13:57] Ilya
Hey, kid. Are you hurt?
[14:00] Maalo
N-No, I'm fine.
[14:03] Maalo
I've got a hard head!
[14:07] Maalo
Huh? A human?
[14:11] Maalo
Th-Thanks, mister. You saved me!
[14:16] Maalo
I'm Maalo. What's your name?
[14:21] Maalo
Hey.
[14:21] Ilya
Stay back!
[14:27] Ilya
Killing a kid like you is a waste of time.
[14:29] Ilya
I'll let you go, so disappear.
[14:31] Maalo
I don't know how to.
[14:33] Ilya
It means go home! To your own country!
[14:36] Maalo
I don't know how.
[14:37] Ilya
What?!
[14:38] Maalo
I got kidnapped, so I don't
know the way home.
[14:45] Maalo
Hey, mister!
[14:47] Maalo
Are you really going to take me home?!
[14:51] Ilya
I just told you to follow me
since I'm headed for the border.
[14:54] Ilya
And don't walk so close.
[14:56] Maalo
Okay! I can get home, then.
[14:58] Maalo
Thanks, mister.
[15:00] Ilya
Stop calling me that.
[15:02] Ilya
You're a weird kid. What kind
of beast thanks a human?
[15:07] Maalo
Huh? Why wouldn't I?
[15:09] Maalo
My mom always tells me to say thank you
when someone does something nice for me.
[15:14] Maalo
Do humans not say thank you?
[15:18] Maalo
Hey! Wait for me!
[15:20] Ilya
What's wrong with this beast?
He talks like a human.
[15:27] Ilya
Hey, kid.
[15:31] Ilya
He's gone?!
[15:32] Ilya
I barely took my eyes off him.
[15:34] Ilya
Don't tell me he got kidnapped aga—
[15:39] Maalo
Ow!
[15:41] Ilya
Don't wander off, you little brat!
[15:43] Ilya
I told you to follow me!
[15:45] Maalo
Mister!
[15:46] Ilya
Stop that!
[15:47] Ilya
Not listening is probably
what got you kidnapped!
[15:50] Maalo
I'm sorry. It's just...
[15:52] Maalo
I've never seen such pretty
flowers and weird bugs before.
[15:56] Maalo
Do humans always live in places like this?
[16:00] Maalo
That must be nice.
[16:02] Ilya
Hey, why did those guys bring you here?
[16:06] Ilya
Why would beasts kidnap a beast?
[16:08] Maalo
Huh?
[16:10] Maalo
Well, uh, lots of kids are
getting taken lately.
[16:14] Maalo
First they get sold to humans,
[16:17] Maalo
then they get "stuffed"
or put in "freak shows."
[16:20] Ilya
So the beast kidnappers I
heard about work for humans?
[16:24] Maalo
I wonder if "freak shows" are fun...
[16:27] Ilya
Humans treating beasts like playthings?
[16:30] Ilya
It's almost like
[16:32] Ilya
what happened back then.
[16:35] Maalo
Mister?
[16:37] Maalo
Are you hurt?
[16:38] Ilya
Don't touch me!
[16:47] Ilya
What are you doing?
[16:48] Maalo
Y-You said not to touch.
[16:52] Maalo
My mom always rubs me
when I've got a boo-boo.
[16:57] Maalo
So I'm rubbing you without touching.
[17:00] Maalo
Boo-boo, get better!
[17:02] Maalo
Get better!
[17:03] Maalo
Get—
[17:05] Human A
There! There it is!
[17:07] Human A
I've had it with these beasts
and their sloppy work.
[17:10] Human A
They took the money and ran.
[17:13] Ilya
Humans.
[17:14] Ilya
Who are you?
[17:16] Human A
We serve a certain noble personage.
That's all I can tell you.
[17:20] Human B
That beast is our prey.
[17:24] Maalo
...they get sold to humans...
[17:26] Ilya
These must be...
[17:27] Human A
Now, hand it over.
[17:32] Human A
Hm? That tattoo on your left cheek...
[17:35] Human A
You must be that wanderer
who hunts beasts in these parts.
[17:39] Human B
Are you after this one, too?
[17:42] Ilya
I'm...
[17:46] Ilya
not involved.
[17:48] Ilya
I don't care what happens to him.
[17:50] Human A
Glad to hear it.
[17:52] Maalo
Huh?
[17:53] Maalo
Where are we going?
[17:55] Human B
To a master who'll take
real good care of you.
[17:58] Maalo
What?
[17:59] Maalo
No! I wanna go home!
[18:02] Maalo
Stop! Let go of me!
[18:05] Maalo
I wanna go home!
[18:06] Human B
Settle down!
[18:07] Maalo
Stop it! Mom!
[18:12] Ilya
Why should I care if he lives, dies,
gets stuffed, or ends up in a freak show?
[18:19] Ilya
As long as he's out of my hair, then...
[18:21] Maalo
No! Stop!
[18:22] Human
Shut your mouth and stop whining!
[18:22] Maalo
I don't wanna go!
[18:25] Maalo
Help, mister!
[18:34] Human B
Wh-What's the big idea?!
[18:35] Human A
Couldn't resist the money
this thing'll fetch?!
[18:39] Ilya
Don't think I'm like you.
[18:42] Ilya
I hate beasts' guts.
[18:45] Ilya
But bastards like you,
[18:48] Ilya
who toy with people's lives,
piss me off even more.
[18:53] Human B
What?!
[18:54] Human A
If you get in our way,
we'll make you regret it!
[19:03] Ilya
Don't just stand there!
[19:04] Ilya
Run for it!
[19:07] Ilya
Idiot!
[19:10] Maalo
Don't pick on him!
[19:13] Ilya
Are you...
[19:14] Human B
Hey, be careful.
[19:15] Human B
It's worth nothing if we kill it.
[19:17] Human A
I know.
[19:29] Ilya
I'll only say this once.
[19:31] Ilya
If you value your lives
more than pocket change,
[19:34] Ilya
then get lost right now.
[19:37] Human A
O-Okay, you win!
[19:39] Human A
You can have that thing!
[19:48] Ilya
You should've minded your own business.
[19:50] Ilya
I can't live with being in debt to a beast.
[19:54] Ilya
But we're even now, got it?
[19:56] Maalo
I didn't lend you anything.
[19:58] Ilya
Listen, you...
[20:01] Ilya
It may be small now, but it'll
kill humans when it's grown.
[20:05] Ilya
That's just how they are.
[20:08] Sariphi
But not all beasts want that.
[20:13] (Flashback) Sariphi
There are all kinds of beasts.
Some are nice, and some are scared.
[20:17] Sariphi
Just like humans.
[20:23] Maalo
I say it when someone does
something nice for me.
[20:26] Maalo
Do humans not?
[20:29] Ilya
What I mean to say is... thanks.
[20:34] Maalo
That's the way. You're welcome!
[20:41] Ilya
I won't change. My hatred
of beasts will last forever.
[20:46] Ilya
But, Sariphi...
[20:48] Ilya
Maybe you had a point, at least
about the beasts you got to know.
[20:57] Ilya
Beasts like this little guy.
[21:02] Ilya
Go on. Cross that mountain,
and you're in beast country.
[21:05] Maalo
The sky's normal again!
[21:08] Ilya
I can't go any farther,
so figure out the rest yourself.
[21:11] Maalo
I will! Thank you.
[21:13] Maalo
Come play with me in
Ozmargo sometime, mister!
[21:16] Ilya
If I feel like it.
[21:19] Maalo
You've got to!
[21:21] Maalo
See you, mister! Bye-bye!
[21:24] Maalo
I said, bye-bye!
[21:40] Maalo
Bye-bye!
[22:50] Rattian A
We didn't count on the
Royal Guard getting involved.
[22:53] Rattian A
But next time...
[22:55] Rattian B
You know, I hear the Blood Pact Corps in
Maasya has announced that it's disbanding.
[23:00] Rattian B
They were the biggest
anti-monarchist group around there.
[23:04] Rattian A
Hah! Cowards!
[23:06] Rattian A
I always knew that it would fall to us,
the Black Stars, to topple the king!
[23:11] Gleipnir
You don't change much, either.
[23:14] Rattian A
Wh-Who goes there?!
[23:15] Rattian B
Did the king send you?!
[23:18] Gleipnir
That's right. From now on,
[23:21] Gleipnir
you're soldiers in His Majesty's service.
[23:26] Jormungand
The anti-monarchists have
all gone quiet at once?
[23:29] Anubis
As if at a signal.
[23:31] Jormungand
That seems like a blessing, but I wonder.
[23:35] Anubis
Indeed. Something stinks.

[00:02] Sariphi
I've never seen real ones before!
[00:04] Clops
Do they have gulls in Yoana, too?
[00:06] Sariphi
Yup, although probably not as big as these.
[00:14] Sariphi
Are you okay, Lante?
SIGN LIMP
[00:17] Lanteveldt
Do I look okay?
[00:19] Lanteveldt
I've had it.
[00:21] Lanteveldt
Can't your holy beast do something about this?
[00:24] Sariphi
Bennu says his power is regeneration,
[00:27] Sariphi
so he can cure injuries, but not queasiness.
[00:31] Lanteveldt
Seriously?
[00:32] Sariphi
And right now, he's in the same boat.

Nope. Seeing all these new

And this time...
[00:44] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[00:48] Leonhart
You were about to fall overboard.
[00:50] Sariphi
His Majesty is with me.
SIGN Invasion and the Wolf Without a Kingdom
[02:29] Sariphi
By the way, I noticed
Mr. Chancellor stayed home again.
[02:34] Leonhart
I left him to oversee matters in my absence.
[02:36] Leonhart
The past few days have
brought troubling reports.
[02:42] Leonhart
Is this true?
[02:44] (Flashback) Anubis
Yes, sire. Major anti-monarchist
groups throughout the realm
[02:49] (Flashback) Anubis
seem to have ceased or
curtailed their activities.
[02:53] (Flashback) Speaker A
Is this not good news?
[02:55] (Flashback) Speaker A
It shows that His Majesty has made
his might felt far and wide.
[03:00] (Flashback) Speaker B
Is there some cause for disquiet?
[03:02] (Flashback) Anubis
No. Except...
[03:04] (Flashback) Anubis
Largely independent organizations have gone
silent together, as though in concert.
[03:10] Anubis
That is what troubles me.
[03:14] Sariphi
Sire?
[03:16] Leonhart
No, this need be no concern of yours.
[03:20] Leonhart
And although we are going to inspect
the new kingdom of Bolstobas,
[03:23] Leonhart
you have no particular duties there, either.
[03:28] Leonhart
Rest easy.
[03:30] Sariphi
But...
[03:31] Sariphi
What should I do when
I don't have to do anything?
[03:35] Sariphi
I want to know how I can get
closer to being a great queen.
[03:39] Sariphi
If only I were at least
breathtakingly beautiful...
[03:43] Sariphi
But I'm nowhere near that, either.
[03:46] Leonhart
Sariphi, you need only follow your
heart and do what you feel is right.
[03:52] Leonhart
That will always give hope
to someone, somewhere,
[03:56] Leonhart
just as it did to me.
[04:00] Leonhart
I know of no woman to surpass your beauty.
[04:04] Leonhart
Your pure-white hair, which naught can sully.
[04:07] Leonhart
Your clear, delicate skin.
[04:09] Leonhart
And your blue eyes,
which see through deception.
[04:14] Leonhart
In my eyes, every part of you is
as breathtaking as the heavens.
[04:26] Leonhart
Well? A speech like that ought
to give you some confidence.
[04:30] Sariphi
Huh?
[04:31] Sariphi
Oh, I get it. He wanted to cheer me up.
[04:35] Sariphi
Thank you, sire! But you overdid
it with the compliments.
[04:42] Vassal A
My Lord Chancellor! Urgent tidings!
[04:47] Anubis
Is this definite?
[04:48] Vassal A
A messenger from the western
land of Wald just delivered it.
[04:53] Vassal A
Is... Is something the matter, sir?
[04:55] Anubis
Inform His Majesty at once.
Dispatch a messenger beast!
[04:59] Vassal A
Yes, sir!
[05:04] Vassal B
Begging your pardon.
[05:06] Vassal B
Your Majesty, Chancellor Anubis
sends this message from the palace.
[05:15] Sariphi
We're going back to Ozmargo right now?!
[05:17] Leonhart
I've had urgent news from the palace.
[05:19] Leonhart
I can't speak further on the subject,
but we will return at once.
[05:22] Sariphi
W-Wait a minute.
[05:25] Sariphi
Isn't this visit to Bolstobas an
important duty for you, sire?
[05:29] Leonhart
Yes, but—
[05:32] Sariphi
Then this is exactly when
I should be filling in for you!
[05:36] Leonhart
No.
[05:37] Sariphi
Don't worry. Just like in Maasya, I'll—
[05:40] Leonhart
No!
[05:45] Sariphi
Sire.
[05:45] Sariphi
You just told me to follow my heart
and do what I feel is right, remember?
[05:53] Sariphi
I don't know what's gone wrong,
[05:55] Sariphi
but I can tell it's serious, and I want
to help you now more than ever.
[06:02] Sariphi
So please, let me do this.
[06:12] Leonhart
Very well. But do nothing
to endanger yourself.
[06:16] Sariphi
R-Right!
[06:17] Leonhart
And give me your left hand.
[06:29] Sariphi
What's this?
[06:33] Leonhart
A charm of sorts.
[06:35] Leonhart
To dispel my... trifling misgivings.
[06:40] Sariphi
Sire...
[06:44] Leonhart
The rest is in your hands.
[06:45] Vassals
Yes, sire.
[06:46] Leonhart
Lanteveldt, I leave Sariphi in your care.
[06:49] Lanteveldt
'Kay.
[06:51] Lanteveldt
Yes, sire!
[06:57] Sariphi
What could it be?
His Majesty seems so anxious.
[07:03] Sariphi
I don't know why,
[07:05] Sariphi
but I have a bad feeling.
SIGN Loake Sea
[07:10] Ichthyan A
Halt!
[07:11] Ichthyan A
Your ship lacks permission to sail!
[07:13] Ichthyan A
Stop at once!
[07:16] Gleipnir
Persistent nuisances.
[07:18] Gleipnir
And right when I'm rushing
back to the castle.
[07:21] Gleipnir
It's been at least ten days since I left it.
[07:24] Ichthyan
Halt!
[07:26] Gleipnir
He's bound to be growing impatient by now.
[07:30] Gleipnir
That man never could wait.
[07:33] Ichthyan B
Wh-What's that?
[07:42] Gleipnir
I see I was too late.
[07:44] Fenrir
That's right, you were.
[07:46] Fenrir
You kept me waiting so long that
I got bored and went out for a flight.
[07:56] Gleipnir
You just sank an Istanese naval patrol.
[08:00] Gleipnir
The palace will soon hear of that.
[08:02] Gleipnir
Didn't you plan to remain
hidden a while longer?
[08:07] Fenrir
I changed my mind.
[08:09] Fenrir
And since I'm already out here,
why not go storm the royal palace now?
[08:14] Gleipnir
The time is not yet ripe. We can strike
once we solidify support from—
[08:18] Fenrir
I'm sick of waiting!
[08:20] Fenrir
How I long to sink my teeth
into that man's throat at last.
[08:34] Fenrir
Like a sign from heaven.
[08:40] Sariphi
What?!
[08:41] Clops
It came from the bow!
[08:43] Fenrir
What's this?
[08:45] Fenrir
I thought this was an Ozmargan royal vessel.
[08:48] Fenrir
Why are there only peons on board?
[08:51] Commander
What are you?! Pirates?!
[08:54] Fenrir
Don't mistake me for some lowly ruffian.
[08:58] Fenrir
I am Fenrir, the King of Wolves,
[09:01] Fenrir
and the new ruler of beastkind.
[09:06] Sariphi
A new king?!
[09:08] Commander
B-Balderdash!
[09:11] Fenrir
Hardly. My minions are invading several
Ozmargan territories as we speak.
[09:18] Fenrir
I'll one day strike down that man,
the king of Ozmargo.
[09:24] Fenrir
Then all beasts will be under my rule.
[09:27] Clops
Huh?!
[09:28] Cy
Shh!
[09:29] Sariphi
Invading Ozmargo?!
[09:32] Sariphi
Is that why His Majesty was called
back to the palace so suddenly?!
[09:36] Commander
I can't let such disrespect for
His Majesty go unpunished!
[09:38] Commander
Seize him!
[09:39] Vassal D; Vassal E
Yes, sir!
[09:40] Fenrir
Nir.
[09:45] Commander
Wh-What was that?! Where did
those swords come from?!
[09:49] Fenrir
Now,
[09:50] Fenrir
tell me, who is the highest-ranking
individual on this ship?
[09:56] Commander
Wh-Why do you ask?
[09:59] Fenrir
I'll have them come with me.
[10:03] Fenrir
And when I take the throne,
[10:06] Fenrir
I'll sacrifice them as proof of my kingship.
[10:11] Fenrir
Answer honestly, or you all die.
[10:16] Fenrir
No one wants to speak up? What a shame.
[10:21] Fenrir
Then let the executions begin.
[10:28] Vassal F
Please, no more!
[10:33] Fenrir
What?
[10:38] Fenrir
A human?
[10:40] Speaker A
Now Kotan, an eastern
province, is under attack?!
[10:44] Speaker B
Th-This is clearly an invasion!
We must act swiftly!
[10:49] Speaker A
But how, when we don't even
know who our enemy is?
[10:52] Leonhart
Quiet. I will send my Royal Guard
to Kotan, along with Horus's men.
[10:57] Leonhart
My personal troops will
fight on the front lines
[11:00] Leonhart
and show these foolish rebels
the might of Ozmargo.
[11:05] Anubis
Please wait, sire.
[11:07] Anubis
If this is an invasion, then this palace
is our enemy's ultimate goal.
[11:12] Anubis
Would it not be wiser to keep your main
force here and fortify the capital?
[11:19] Leonhart
I am here. Is that not sufficient?
[11:25] Anubis
These simultaneous attacks on Wald
in the west and Kotan in the east
[11:30] Anubis
are most likely a ploy to divide
our kingdom's forces.
[11:35] Anubis
I suggest we put the capital first
and send a cavalry company to Kotan.
[11:42] Leonhart
Will that be enough?
[11:44] Anubis
Certainly.
[11:46] Anubis
I will take command
[11:49] Anubis
and go to Kotan myself.
[11:51] Speaker A
C-Can it be?
[11:53] Speaker B
Anubis, leaving the palace?!
[12:00] Fenrir
And you are?
[12:01] Sariphi
Sariphi, the acting queen of Ozmargo.
[12:05] Sariphi
And right now, I'm the
highest-ranking person on this ship.
[12:12] Fenrir
You, the queen?!
[12:14] Fenrir
Now, that's a good one!
[12:16] Sariphi
It's the truth.
[12:18] Sariphi
Why else would a human be on this ship?
[12:22] Sariphi
You say you want to be king,
[12:25] Sariphi
but you didn't even know the king of Ozmargo
took a human for his acting queen?
[12:29] Clops
Sari!
[12:31] Sariphi
So if you must take someone, take me.
[12:34] Sariphi
And leave everyone else on this ship alone.
[12:38] Fenrir
What you say, if it is the truth,
doesn't make you any more valuable.
[12:45] Fenrir
It just shows how worthless
Ozmargo's queen is.
[12:50] Fenrir
That's how I see it.
[12:53] Sariphi
My worth...
[12:57] Sariphi
As a human, I don't count without
His Majesty at my side.
[13:02] Sariphi
I'm acting queen in name only.
[13:04] Sariphi
But if something gives me value anyway...
[13:10] Sariphi
If I have value,
[13:12] Sariphi
then it's because he loves
me and no one else.
[13:20] Sariphi
Now, take me away.
[13:23] Sariphi
If you ignore me and hurt the others,
you'll only feel ashamed later,
[13:30] Sariphi
when people ask how someone
who called himself king
[13:32] Sariphi
could be taken in by appearances
and fail to see what I'm really worth.
[13:37] Fenrir
What a stupid bluff.
[13:40] Fenrir
Could this human really have his love?
[13:47] Fenrir
The love of the man who took
everything from me that day?
[13:53] Gleipnir
Fenrir, this human is probably
telling the truth.
[13:58] Gleipnir
She had guards protecting her in Maasya.
[14:03] Fenrir
All right. You'll be my sacrifice.
[14:07] Cy; Clops
S-Sari!
[14:09] Fenrir
Let's go, Nir.
[14:10] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[14:12] Sariphi
I'm sorry, sire.
[14:14] Sariphi
Forgive me for using your feelings like this.
[14:19] Sariphi
But it's the only way I can protect everyone.
[14:23] Sariphi
So... I can't go back to—
[14:26] Lanteveldt
Not so fast.
[14:28] Lanteveldt
Don't think you'll get away with
this just 'cause I'm seasick.
[14:32] Lanteveldt
Hands off. She's the one I serve.
[14:36] Fenrir
Who are you?
[14:38] Lanteveldt
Lanteveldt the Hyenian,
captain of the Queen's Guard of Ozmargo.
[14:44] Lanteveldt
So when someone hurts the queen,
[14:46] Lanteveldt
I get rid of them!
[14:49] Sariphi
Lante, behind you!
[14:51] Gleipnir
He dodged that? He has good reflexes.
[14:54] Gleipnir
However...
[14:56] Lanteveldt
The swords changed direction?
[14:57] Lanteveldt
He's controlling them with magic!
[15:01] Sariphi
Lante!
[15:08] Gleipnir
Such weakness.
[15:09] Gleipnir
A guardian must not suffer defeat.
[15:12] Gleipnir
It means death for his master,
as well as himself.
[15:16] Gleipnir
You lack resolve, boy. Stay out of our way.
[15:24] Sariphi
Wait!
[15:27] Sariphi
I already agreed to go with you,
but only if you don't hurt the others.
[15:33] Sariphi
That was our deal.
[15:36] Fenrir
Spare him, Nir. A promise is a promise.
[15:40] Fenrir
A king must stand by his words.
[15:45] Gleipnir
You're in luck.
[15:48] Lanteveldt
Wait. You're just gonna leave?
[15:53] Lanteveldt
I'm the captain of your guard.
[15:56] Lanteveldt
I'll do my job,
[16:00] Lanteveldt
even if it kills me!
[16:04] Sariphi
Lante.
[16:06] Sariphi
As acting queen consort,
I hereby command you.
[16:10] Sariphi
Return to the palace, and obey the king.
[16:15] Sariphi
Bennu, would you patch up
Lante and the others for me?
[16:21] Clops
S-Sari...
[16:22] Sariphi
Clops, I want you to tell His
Majesty something for me.
[16:37] Lanteveldt
What the hell?
[16:39] Lanteveldt
Damn it.
[16:41] Lanteveldt
Damn it all!
[16:46] Anubis
We will reach Kotan by dawn.
[16:48] Anubis
Prepare to sally forth at once.
[16:50] Vassals
Yes, sir!
[16:51] Vassal F
M-My Lord Chancellor!
[16:53] Anubis
Yes?
[16:55] Vassal F
Terrible news!
[16:56] Vassal F
The people are mobbing the palace gates!
[16:59] Rog
Your Majesty! Is it true that
someone is invading our land?!
[17:05] Mal
What should we do?!
Is it safe here in the capital?!
[17:11] Anubis
So word has already spread.
[17:14] Anubis
Restore order immediately!
[17:15] Vassal G
Chancellor Anubis!
[17:17] Anubis
Oh, what is it now?!
[17:19] Vassal G
Milord,
[17:19] Vassal G
an urgent messenger beast
from a ship bound for Bolstobas
[17:24] Vassal G
has returned with a servant
of the acting queen consort.
[17:28] Speaker B
Wh-What?!
[17:30] Speaker A
Repeat your report!
[17:32] Clops
O-Our ship was attacked by someone
who called himself Fenrir, King of Wolves.
[17:37] Clops
And Sari—the acting queen consort—
let him take her to protect us!
[17:45] Speaker A
All while Captain Lanteveldt was with her?
[17:48] Speaker B
What a debacle.
[17:51] Anubis
Fenrir... I know that name from somewhere.
[17:55] Anubis
And this man truly claimed
to be invading our kingdom?
[17:59] Clops
Y-Yes. And he said that when
he became the new king,
[18:03] Clops
he would sacrifice Sari!
[18:08] Anubis
Where does Your Majesty propose to go?
[18:10] Leonhart
Stop asking pointless questions
and stand aside.
[18:14] Anubis
I will not. This is not like when the
human brat abducted Lady Sariphi.
[18:21] Anubis
If you leave the palace now,
the damage could be irreparable.
[18:28] Leonhart
You expect me to sit here, then?
[18:31] Leonhart
To do nothing when my queen has been taken?
[18:34] Anubis
Naturally, a search party will—
[18:36] Leonhart
There's no time for that!
[18:39] Leonhart
If this Fenrir is the same man I remember,
[18:44] Leonhart
then his grudge against me must run deep.
[18:47] Leonhart
Who knows what he'll do to Sariphi?
[18:50] Leonhart
Stand aside, Anubis!
[18:53] Leonhart
Stand aside, or even you will feel my wrath!
[18:56] Anubis
Very well, sire. If you insist,
[19:01] Anubis
then kill me and depart.
[19:07] Anubis
This realm must never be exposed
to the threat of usurpation.
[19:12] Anubis
And I will never consent
to serve another king.
[19:15] Anubis
I would much rather die at Your
Majesty's hands here and now.
[19:28] Anubis
Organize a search party at once.
I shall communicate with Bolstobas.
[19:32] Vassal I
Y-Yes, milord!
[19:34] Leonhart
What am I doing?
[19:39] Leonhart
I made Sariphi my queen, thinking that
my royal authority could protect her.
[19:46] Leonhart
But what is the reality?
[19:48] Leonhart
I cannot rush to her side because I am king.
[19:55] Leonhart
What is authority, then? What is kingship?
[20:02] Clops
B-Begging Your Majesty's pardon...
S-Sari gave me a message.
[20:10] Clops
She said, "Don't come to rescue me."
[20:17] Leonhart
Sariphi... I see.
[20:20] Leonhart
So you...
[20:23] Subject A
What the hell is going on?!
[20:25] Bolas's Mother
Please, sire, speak to us!
[20:28] Bolas
Oh, look!
[20:30] Subject B
His Majesty is here!
[20:32] Subject C
Your Majesty!
[20:35] Leonhart
Some do indeed scheme to invade my realm!
[20:41] Leonhart
That is a fact!
[20:43] Leonhart
But it is no cause for alarm!
[20:46] Leonhart
No one can conquer Ozmargo and its people!
[20:52] Leonhart
Not while...
[20:53] Leonhart
I am here!
[20:56] Leonhart
Whoever should threaten this realm,
I will not fail to strike down!
[21:03] Subjects
Y-Your Majesty...
[21:05] Bolas
Your Majesty!
[21:06] El
Long live the king!
[21:09] Subjects
Long may he reign!
[21:11] Leonhart
Sariphi, as queen,
you acted to protect us all.
[21:17] Leonhart
And you told me to defend those to which
I've sworn, as well. To be their king.
[21:24] Leonhart
So, as king, I shall defend my people.
[21:30] Leonhart
I expect him to come for my
head himself in the end.
[21:35] Leonhart
I will track him down
before he storms my palace.
[21:41] Leonhart
And then,
[21:44] Leonhart
I will fight.
[21:46] Leonhart
To defend my realm. To win you back.
[21:51] Leonhart
Even if it costs me my life!
[23:26] Jormungand
Your concern proved justified, Abi.
[23:28] Jormungand
But will you be all right
on the front lines?
[23:31] Anubis
Don't underestimate me.
Focus on guarding His Majesty.
[23:35] Anubis
This is the greatest threat
in the history of Ozmargo.

[00:01] Ozmargan Soldier A
Fresh tidings, sire.
[00:03] Ozmargan Soldier A
The invaders are a coalition of
anti-monarchist organizations, as suspected.
[00:08] Ozmargan Soldier A
They seek to seize control of the beast realm
[00:12] Ozmargan Soldier A
and call themselves the army of
the "Wolf Without a Kingdom."
[00:15] Leonhart
"The Wolf Without a Kingdom"...
[00:18] Leonhart
So it is him.
[00:21] Leonhart
Find their leader Fenrir's
stronghold with all haste.
[00:25] Leonhart
They may call themselves an army,
but they are mere rabble.
[00:28] Leonhart
Strike down their head, and they will
lose cohesion and disintegrate.
[00:33] Ozmargan Soldier A
Yes, sire!
[00:35] Leonhart
Soon. I must find Sariphi soon.
[00:39] Leonhart
Where is Lanteveldt?
I've yet to receive his report.
[00:44] Clops
W-Well, sire...
[00:49] Lanteveldt
Hey, holy beast! Are we really
getting closer to Sariphi?
[00:54] Lanteveldt
There's nothing but sand and rocks out here!
[00:58] Bennu
Quit bellyaching, numbskull!
[01:01] Bennu
I've lived a thousand years, greenhorn,
so don't question the great Bennu!
[01:05] Lanteveldt
I don't know what you're saying,
but I can tell it should piss me off!
SIGN Only Sariphi can understand
what Bennu says
[01:10] Bennu
What?! You want a piece of me?!
[01:11] Cy
S-Stop!
[01:14] Cy
Lante!
[01:16] Bennu
Don't overdo it.
[01:19] Bennu
Still, I can't sense that girlie anymore.
[01:23] Bennu
They must've taken her
someplace with a ward around it.
[01:28] Lanteveldt
I let them take her right in front of me.
[01:33] Lanteveldt
She protected me.
[01:36] Lanteveldt
I will get Sariphi back. I swear it!
SIGN Pursuit and the Vassals' Battle
[03:21] Fenrir
What's wrong?
[03:23] Fenrir
It's not poisoned.
[03:27] Fenrir
I want a little more meat on
your bones when I sacrifice you.
[03:32] Sariphi
Why do you want to be king?
[03:36] Fenrir
A foolish question.
[03:38] Fenrir
What man born needs a reason
to strive for the top?
[03:42] Fenrir
I'm not like him.
[03:45] Fenrir
Not like that cowardly king who hates
to fight despite his supremacy.
[03:50] Sariphi
You know His Majesty?
[03:52] Fenrir
A long time ago, I was the prince
of an Ozmargan vassal state.
[03:58] Fenrir
But I was called a failure
compared to my brothers.
[04:03] Fenrir
To my father, who hoped to overthrow
our overlords, I was just in the way.
[04:09] Fenrir
Then, one day, I fought him.
[04:14] Young Fenrir
This is my last chance to win Dad's approval.
[04:18] Young Fenrir
Unless I win this court duel, I'll be...
[04:28] (Flashback) Ozmargan Senator A
Blue flames? Well, now.
[04:36] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
H-He's overpowering me?!
[04:45] (Flashback) Wolf Councilor A
Wh-What power.
[04:48] (Flashback) Wolf Councilor A
How can he wield such magic at his age?
[04:52] (Flashback) Wolf Councilor B
So this is the blood of the king of beasts.
[04:58] Young Fenrir
I lost.
[05:00] Young Fenrir
So easily, and so instantly.
[05:04] Young Fenrir
I couldn't even wound him!
[05:07] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Are you all right?
[05:09] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Y-You want to show me mercy?
[05:12] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Don't mock me!
[05:14] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I swear I'll beat you someday!
[05:18] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
I don't like to fight.
[05:23] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Next time we meet, let's play, not duel.
[05:28] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
As friends.
[05:30] Young Fenrir
How dare you?!
[05:32] Young Fenrir
How dare you?! How dare you?!
[05:37] (Flashback) Wolf Vassal
Prince Fenrir will now
be deprived of one ear,
[05:42] (Flashback) Wolf Vassal
stripping him of his royal station.
[05:44] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Father! Father, forgive me!
[05:47] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I promise I'll win next time!
[05:50] (Flashback) Wolf Vassal
Begin!
[05:55] Fenrir
Then I lost my ear, and with it,
everything. They cast me out.
[06:01] Sariphi
And that's why you hold a
grudge against His Majesty?
[06:03] Fenrir
A grudge?
[06:05] Fenrir
No. We fought fair and square.
[06:09] Fenrir
Back then, he was strong, and I was weak.
[06:13] Fenrir
So next time, I'll beat him.
[06:16] Fenrir
Then I'll take back my stolen pride
[06:18] Fenrir
and rule supreme through fear,
as a truly mighty king!
[06:24] Sariphi
A mighty king?
[06:27] Fenrir
Yes! I'll return this realm to a blank slate!
[06:31] Fenrir
Beasts will fight each other as in days of old,
[06:35] Fenrir
and I'll stand above them all!
[06:38] Sariphi
What about those who are
weak or don't want to fight?
[06:42] Fenrir
They'll be culled, of course.
That's the law of nature.
[06:47] Fenrir
That's the world I strive for.
[06:50] Fenrir
If the weak want to survive there,
[06:53] Fenrir
they must bow to the strong,
abandoning pride and quaking with fear.
[06:58] Fenrir
And humans will be no exception.
[07:01] Fenrir
I'll abolish the border with Yoana
[07:03] Fenrir
and make a world where beasts
can feast on humans as they please.
[07:07] Fenrir
Doesn't that scare you?
[07:09] Fenrir
Your heart must be shaking like a leaf!
[07:14] Sariphi
Why?
[07:17] Sariphi
Why should I be afraid of you?
[07:21] Sariphi
Because you're strong?
[07:23] Sariphi
If that's it, then you don't scare me at all.
[07:26] Sariphi
I know someone who always battles
his own weakness for other people.
[07:33] Sariphi
Someone who has real strength.
[07:36] Sariphi
So I'm not afraid of you.
[07:40] Sariphi
If you can only feel strong by hurting people,
[07:44] Sariphi
that's because you're weak.
[07:47] Sariphi
You could never beat His Majesty.
[08:01] Fenrir
Was that... his magic?
[08:05] Fenrir
Did he imbue that ring with
power to protect this woman?
[08:10] Fenrir
Does he really care for her that deeply?
[08:15] Fenrir
Intriguing.
[08:18] Fenrir
Now I really do want her.
SIGN Ozmargo's far eastern border,
near Kotan
[08:25] Wolf Soldier A
The Ozmargan troops are retreating.
[08:28] Wolf Soldier B
Don't let them escape! After them!
[08:32] Wolf Soldier A
Wh-What?!
[08:33] Wolf Soldier B
Oh, no! This is an antlion pit!
[08:36] Anubis
So you neglected even basic reconnaissance.
[08:39] Anubis
No one familiar with the lay
of the land would go there.
[08:43] Wolf Soldier A
Dirty tricks! Have you no beastly pride?!
[08:46] Anubis
Fools who would harm my king have
no business lecturing me about pride.
[08:52] Anubis
Sink.
SIGN In the city of Kotan
[08:56] Ozmargan Soldier B
The diversionary operation
succeeded, too, sir!
[08:59] Ozmargan Soldier B
And we've nearly mopped up
the remnants in the city.
[09:02] Ozmargan Soldier C
As you ordered, sir, we've also
begun pursuing those who fled.
[09:07] Anubis
Good. They'll likely try
to join their comrades.
[09:11] Anubis
Alert the palace as soon as you locate them.
[09:13] Anubis
In the meantime, make camp
here and remain alert.
[09:17] Ozmargan Soldier B; C
Yes, sir!
[09:20] Anubis
Who goes there?!
[09:23] Anubis
It's him! Fenrir's right-hand
man from the reports!
[09:27] Gleipnir
You must be the tactician who played
so many crafty tricks on us.
[09:32] Gleipnir
Still, you may make a worthy pawn.
[09:36] Gleipnir
Tell me, would you join us?
[09:39] Anubis
What?
[09:41] Gleipnir
We're kin, aren't we? Go back far enough,
and our peoples share ancestors.
[09:48] Gleipnir
So you should serve a wolf king,
not one from the royal line of beasts.
[09:55] Anubis
You mock me. I chose the king I serve.
[10:00] Anubis
What do our species matter next to that?
[10:06] Gleipnir
I see. In that case,
[10:10] Gleipnir
you'll have to die.
[10:16] Sariphi
No, thank you.
[10:18] Sariphi
No, thank you.
[10:21] Sariphi
No, thank you.
[10:22] Fenrir
What? What more do you want?
[10:26] Fenrir
What does that man do to win you over?
[10:30] Fenrir
How did he get you in the mood?
[10:33] Sariphi
His Majesty always gives me lots of things,
[10:36] Sariphi
like words and feelings.
[10:39] Sariphi
But they make me happy
because they come from him.
[10:43] Sariphi
They wouldn't mean anything
coming from someone else.
[10:46] Sariphi
I don't want anything from you.
[10:49] Fenrir
Ha! You sure are a prickly one.
[10:52] Fenrir
You ought to learn from Nir.
[10:55] Sariphi
Nir?
[10:57] Sariphi
That man you were with? Is he nice, then?
[11:01] Fenrir
Yes.
[11:02] Fenrir
I picked him up on a whim
when I was just a pup.
[11:06] Fenrir
He felt so grateful that it
sent his destiny off-course.
[11:09] Fenrir
Now he's my stupid, lovable slave.
[11:12] (Flashback) Gleipnir's Owner
You fool! How dare you lay hands
on gifts meant for royalty?!
[11:17] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
I'm sorry!
[11:19] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
I was so hungry I couldn't help it!
[11:22] (Flashback) Gleipnir's Owner
I bought you when no one else would,
and this is how you repay me?!
[11:27] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
If you don't need that slave, give him here.
[11:32] (Flashback) Gleipnir's Owner
Your Highness?!
[11:35] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
There. That's better!
[11:38] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
Um...
[11:39] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Now I'm finally living like royalty!
[11:42] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I've never had my own servant,
even though all my big brothers do.
[11:47] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
But from now on, I've got you!
[11:51] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Hey, what's your name?
[11:54] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
Th-Thirty-six Two.
[11:56] (Flashback) Young
Thirty? That's a weird name.
[11:59] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
It's not a name, just what they
called me at the slave market.
[12:04] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
I don't have a name.
[12:06] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Really? I guess I'll have to give you one, then.
[12:10] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
A name? For me?
[12:12] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
That's right. Don't you need one?
[12:14] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
It ought to sound cool.
[12:16] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
But not cooler than mine, got that?
[12:20] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I've got it! Your name's Gleipnir!
[12:24] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
Gleip...?
[12:26] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Gleipnir. Nir for short.
[12:30] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
It's the name of a special cord used
to bind the ancestor of all wolves.
[12:36] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
Really?! It's that important?!
[12:39] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
This cord will tie us together forever.
[12:42] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Always stay by me. Come running
to my side from wherever you are.
[12:46] Young Fenrir
And be quick about it, you hear?!
[12:51] Gleipnir
I'm not fond of pointless killing.
[12:54] Gleipnir
Well? If you want to reconsider,
this is your last chance.
[12:57] Anubis
No,
[12:59] Anubis
this is your last chance
to stop your king's folly.
[13:04] Anubis
Guide your sovereign down the proper path,
even if that means defying him.
[13:11] Anubis
That is a vassal's duty.
[13:15] Anubis
I give everything for my king!
I need no pride!
[13:20] Gleipnir
I'm not Fenrir's vassal. I belong to him.
[13:25] Gleipnir
If he wants to be king,
I'll put him on the throne.
[13:29] Gleipnir
But that's all.
[13:31] Gleipnir
No more, and no less.
[13:35] Anubis
So this is the end.
[13:36] Anubis
His Majesty has others to support him
when I'm gone, so I leave no regrets.
[13:45] Anubis
No matter who the person closest to him is.
[13:54] Jormungand
It's too soon to say your prayers, Abi.
[13:58] Gleipnir
Who are you?!
[13:59] Jormungand
Jormungand, captain of the
Royal Guard of Ozmargo!
[14:07] Jormungand
He wields two blades remotely.
[14:09] Jormungand
And he aims precisely for my blind spots.
[14:14] Jormungand
In which case...
[14:15] Gleipnir
So, you covered one blind spot.
[14:18] Gleipnir
But you can't attack me like that.
[14:22] Anubis
Jor, what are you doing here?!
[14:25] Anubis
I told you to... defend His Majesty!
[14:29] Jormungand
And His Majesty ordered me here, Abi.
[14:33] Jormungand
He told me to protect you, his friend.
[14:38] Gleipnir
There!
[14:40] Gleipnir
He left himself open on purpose?!
[14:58] Gleipnir
So... your blade reached me... first.
[15:03] Jormungand
Only by a hair's breadth.
[15:06] Jormungand
If you still had your left eye,
the reverse may have happened.
[15:16] Anubis
You mean to flee?!
[15:17] Gleipnir
You said yourself that you need no pride.
[15:21] Gleipnir
Neither do I. I gave all of mine to him.
[15:28] Gleipnir
This scar is proof of it.
I feel neither shame nor regret.
[15:34] Gleipnir
We'll settle this another time.
I can't afford to die yet.
[15:39] Anubis
Wait!
[15:41] Jormungand
Abi!
[15:42] Anubis
I'll follow him. No doubt
he'll return to his master.
[15:46] Jormungand
But with your wounds—
[15:48] Anubis
You expect me to leave myself in your debt?
[15:51] Anubis
I will be the one to locate Fenrir's lair!
[15:56] Jormungand
You can be so stubborn.
[15:57] Anubis
What?!
[15:59] Jormungand
I'll take the reins.
[16:02] Jormungand
Let's go meet our king's enemy.
[16:09] Lanteveldt
Make sure you keep your eye closed.
[16:11] Lanteveldt
We won't be able to talk to Blob No. 2
anymore if anything happens to it.
[16:16] Cy
It's closed!
[16:18] Lanteveldt
Still, I bet we're gonna need
rescuing before we find Sariphi.
[16:23] Lanteveldt
But we can't turn back without...
[16:27] Lanteveldt
What's that?
[16:30] Ozmargan Soldier E
A report, sire!
[16:32] Ozmargan Soldier E
The Istanese navy has captured supporters
of the wolf on the Loake Sea!
[16:39] Ozmargan Soldier E
And Chancellor Anubis sends word that
he has driven the wolf's forces from Kotan!
[16:45] Leonhart
Have you tracked down their leader Fenrir?
[16:49] Ozmargan Soldier E
As to that... the search
proceeds with all haste!
[16:51] Ozmargan Soldier E
By Your Majesty's leave!
[16:56] Clops
S-Sire! I promise Sari will come back!
[17:00] Clops
S-Soon! And unhurt!
[17:03] Clops
S-So...
[17:06] Leonhart
Is he trying to lift my spirits?
[17:09] Leonhart
Not long ago, merely being in my
presence made his faint heart quail.
[17:24] Leonhart
We are all changing, slowly but surely.
[17:31] Leonhart
Sariphi, you have changed us all.
[17:35] Leonhart
I want you back soon. Soon.
[17:41] Leonhart
I want to touch you.
[17:46] Sariphi
Leo?
[17:55] Fenrir
What is that look in your eyes? Pity?
[17:59] Sariphi
That... could be.
[18:02] Sariphi
You remind me just a little of myself.
[18:06] Sariphi
Your family cast you out without warning.
[18:09] Sariphi
You lost your home and who you were.
[18:12] Sariphi
If nothing else, I know just
how terrifying that is.
[18:21] Sariphi
But I hate the way you think.
[18:26] Fenrir
You don't say.
[18:30] Fenrir
It looks like a mouse—make that
two mice—have tripped my wards.
[18:35] Sariphi
What?
[18:36] Fenrir
I recognize this scent.
[18:38] Fenrir
They might have followed you here.
[18:40] Sariphi
N-No! Who would have...
[18:44] Fenrir
All right. Let's have some fun.
[18:46] Sariphi
W-Wait!
[18:49] Lanteveldt
Sariphi is here.
[18:55] Fenrir
What's this?
[18:56] Fenrir
I went looking for a mouse and found a cat.
[18:59] Fenrir
Try to keep me entertained.
[19:02] Lanteveldt
I figured I'd find your sorry ass here!
[19:08] Sariphi
I can't get free!
[19:09] Cy
Sari!
[19:11] Cy
Sari!
[19:13] Sariphi
Cy?! Bennu?!
[19:15] Sariphi
How did you get here?!
[19:16] Bennu
No time to explain!
[19:19] Bennu
Take that!
[19:20] Bennu
Hop on, girlie.
[19:21] Sariphi
Oh, thank you!
[19:25] Sariphi
You know, Fenrir noticed you coming.
[19:29] Sariphi
I'm amazed you didn't get caught.
[19:31] Bennu
Nah, he has no clue I'm here.
[19:33] Bennu
I've got no smell.
[19:36] Sariphi
Huh? But...
[19:38] Sariphi
Don't tell me...
[19:39] Bennu
Sounds like the plan's working.
[19:43] Bennu
We're supposed to find you and get out
while the decoy keeps him busy.
[19:48] Sariphi
Please, Bennu, turn back!
[19:50] Cy
Sari...
[19:52] Bennu
Are you sure? He might not thank
you for screwing up his sacrifice.
[19:57] Sariphi
I still have to save him.
[19:59] Sariphi
Lante could die!
[20:02] Fenrir
If you can't put up more of a fight,
you're not even good for killing time.
[20:08] Fenrir
Of course, this would be a little more
fun if you tried running for your life.
[20:14] Lanteveldt
Like hell I'd run!
[20:16] Lanteveldt
I'm the captain of Sariphi's guard!
[20:19] Lanteveldt
I came here ready to die!
[20:23] Fenrir
Don't brag about selling
your life cheap, whelp.
[20:28] Fenrir
If you don't know the right time for
self-sacrifice, you can die right now!
[20:35] Sariphi
Lante!
[20:38] Lanteveldt
Let go! I'll stall him while—
[20:40] Sariphi
No! I won't let you die as a decoy!
[20:44] Lanteveldt
I'm the captain of your Queen's Guard!
[20:47] Lanteveldt
Risking my life is what I'm here for!
[20:50] Lanteveldt
I'd die to protect you!
[20:52] Lanteveldt
If you won't let me do that,
[20:54] Lanteveldt
why'd you make me captain in the first place?!
[20:59] Sariphi
To make you a real Queen's Guard captain!
[21:03] Sariphi
Guards aren't there to die for their masters!
[21:07] Sariphi
I want you to witness the day
I become a genuine queen!
[21:14] Bennu
I can see outside, girlie!
[21:16] Bennu
Hang on tight while I crash through the ward!
[21:21] Lanteveldt
I'll be your witness.
I'll see you be a great queen!
[21:26] Bennu
Here goes nothing!
[21:36] Sariphi
Lante! Bennu!
[21:40] Sariphi
Thank you both so much!
I'll take it from here!
[21:44] Fenrir
To think she even commands a holy beast.
[21:49] Fenrir
All right, then. Time for a game of tag.
[21:54] Clops
Sire! I got a message from Cy!
[21:57] Clops
Past the stony desert southwest of Goya's
capital, in the heart of Sabarro Valley,
[22:02] Clops
they've found the enemy leader
Fenrir's hidden stronghold!
[22:07] Clops
And Sariphi is there with him!
[23:25] Jormungand
Hang in there, Abi! How is your wound?!
[23:28] Anubis
A mere scratch. Forget about me!
Just chase him down!
[23:33] Jormungand
Very well! Best of luck!
[23:34] Anubis
What? You're actually leaving me behind?
[23:36] Anubis
W-Wait!

[00:08] Sariphi
Are you all right, Cy?
[00:10] Cy
I-I'm fi—
[00:16] Fenrir
I hoped you would provide
more entertainment.
[00:20] Sariphi
Lante, are you hurt?!
[00:23] Fenrir
What will you do now?
[00:26] Fenrir
Count on your ring to save you?
Its power only works once.
[00:33] Sariphi
What about my ring?
[00:34] Fenrir
He imbued it with a portion of his magic.
[00:40] Sariphi
Then that was...
[00:43] Sariphi
what protected me that time.
[00:47] Sariphi
I wasn't imagining things.
[00:50] Sariphi
No wonder I felt like His Majesty
was always with me.
[00:53] Fenrir
You have nothing left to save you.
[00:57] Fenrir
Now, it is time to tremble in fear.
[01:00] Fenrir
And if you prostrate yourself before me,
[01:03] Fenrir
I will make you my queen.
[01:07] Sariphi
I—
[01:08] Lanteveldt
Not on my watch!
[01:11] Sariphi
Lante?!
[01:13] Lanteveldt
Even a hyena will bite a wolf if you
back him into a corner, moron.
[01:20] Fenrir
Filthy hyena brat!
[01:47] Sariphi
Your Majesty!
SIGN Rescue and a Fated Duel
[03:27] Fenrir
There you are at last.
[03:30] Fenrir
I've never waited for anyone—
or anything—as much as I have for this!
[03:35] Fenrir
For this chance to face you!
[03:40] Clops
C-C-Cy!
[03:42] Cy
C-C-Clops!
[03:47] Sariphi
His Majesty is really here...
[03:51] Sariphi
Right beside me.
[03:57] Leonhart
It truly is you, then.
[03:59] Leonhart
The last heir to the former kingdom of wolves...
[04:04] Leonhart
Fenrir, the 12th prince.
[04:06] Leonhart
And missing an ear.
[04:08] Leonhart
I see that you truly were
driven from your land.
[04:13] Fenrir
I'm honored that you know so much about me.
[04:17] Fenrir
King of Ozmargo, ever since you
became known by that title,
[04:22] Fenrir
I've lived to fight you again
and reclaim my stolen pride.
[04:28] Leonhart
Will your pride return if you defeat me?
[04:33] Leonhart
And what then?
[04:36] Leonhart
What will you do when you take the throne?
[04:39] Fenrir
What? That woman asked the same question.
[04:45] Fenrir
I'll do just one thing: purge this realm.
[04:50] Fenrir
All beasts will form up to kill and
slaughter each other once more!
[04:56] Fenrir
And the last to survive will reign supreme!
[05:00] Fenrir
I'll create a world where only might
matters, for beast and human alike!
[05:06] Clops
H-He's crazy!
[05:09] Clops
Who'd want to bring those ancient wars back?!
[05:13] Lanteveldt
But it makes sense, doesn't it?
[05:16] Lanteveldt
That chaos led to this kingdom, ruled by
the leader of the last species standing.
[05:23] Lanteveldt
The strong make the rules,
and the weak follow them.
[05:28] Lanteveldt
That's as true now as it was then.
[05:32] Sariphi
Yes. And that's why His Majesty...
[05:36] Fenrir
Now, if you want to keep
your throne, fight me.
[05:41] Fenrir
Or are you still spouting that
nonsense about hating combat?
[05:47] Leonhart
No. You've just given me a fresh reminder
[05:51] Leonhart
of why I must never cede my throne to you.
[05:55] Leonhart
As a king, and as a man,
[06:00] Leonhart
I have things I must protect from you!
SIGN Sabarro Valley, northeast
[06:07] Anubis
Hurry, Jor!
[06:08] Anubis
That potent burst of magic
can mean nothing good.
[06:12] Anubis
Fenrir is most likely...
[06:16] Jormungand
You!
[06:17] Gleipnir
The battle has already begun.
[06:20] Gleipnir
We are no longer needed.
[06:22] Anubis
What do you mean?!
[06:24] Gleipnir
My duty now is to ensure
that no one interferes.
[06:31] Gleipnir
That was my promise to Fenrir.
[06:33] Gleipnir
If you intend to intervene, I'll kill you.
[06:37] Gleipnir
Even if I can't do it honorably.
[06:40] Jormungand
Very well.
[06:42] Jormungand
We promise not to meddle
in our king's battle, as well.
[06:45] Anubis
Jor!
[06:46] Jormungand
It makes no difference, Abi.
[06:50] Jormungand
The lord of this realm is fighting
its self-proclaimed new ruler.
[06:56] Jormungand
We have no place in their duel.
[07:09] Sariphi
His Majesty is facing forward.
[07:15] Fenrir
What's wrong?! Is that all you've got?!
[07:18] Sariphi
He's wearing the face of a king
who has so much on his shoulders
[07:24] Sariphi
and staring straight ahead.
[07:26] Sariphi
All I can do is believe in him.
[07:30] Sariphi
His Majesty...
[07:32] Sariphi
Sire!
[07:34] Sariphi
...will never lose!
[07:45] Fenrir
Is this it?
[07:47] Fenrir
That day, your overwhelming magic
power stole everything from me.
[07:53] Fenrir
To me, your might was pure despair.
[07:57] Fenrir
Is this all
[07:59] Fenrir
a king can do?!
[08:02] Lanteveldt
Watch out!
[08:18] Lanteveldt
You've gotta be kidding me.
[08:22] Clops
It can't be. His Majesty is...
[08:29] Fenrir
You exhausted your magic so quickly.
[08:33] Fenrir
I knew it. You haven't recovered the
power you put into the woman's ring.
[08:39] Fenrir
Were you so desperate to
reach her as soon as possible,
[08:43] Fenrir
even knowing that you weren't
at your full strength?
[08:50] Fenrir
Good. That woman you're head
over heels for will soon be mine.
[08:58] Fenrir
But I have something to take care of first.
[09:01] Fenrir
Using all my mystic power!
[09:08] Cy
S-Sire!
[09:14] Jormungand
There!
[09:24] Lanteveldt
He missed?
[09:30] Leonhart
What are you playing at?
[09:33] Fenrir
Now we're on even footing.
[09:36] Fenrir
Trampling a weaker opponent to reach the top
[09:40] Fenrir
would only tarnish my royal dignity.
[09:44] Fenrir
From now on,
[09:48] Fenrir
we fight like primal beasts!
[09:54] Amit
Refugees are flooding into the royal capital.
[09:58] Amit
Their numbers show how
uneasy the people feel.
[10:03] Official A
Track His Majesty's holy beast at once!
It will lead us to the enemy leader!
[10:09] Official B
The acting queen is with them!
[10:12] Amit
Does that mean His Majesty
will fight after all?
[10:18] Amit
All that I can do is pray,
[10:22] Amit
but please be safe, Lady Sariphi,
Your Majesty, and everyone else.
[10:29] Amit
And especially...
[10:35] Anubis
His Majesty is fighting tooth and claw?
[10:37] Gleipnir
Fenrir...
[11:13] Jormungand
A deep wound. The king has him.
[11:29] Fenrir
I'm not finished yet.
[11:32] Leonhart
This man...
[11:34] Leonhart
This is obsession—the pride of
a man who once lost everything.
[11:40] Leonhart
The obsession of one who strives
to reclaim his own existence.
[11:45] Leonhart
Do I have anything to compare to it?
[11:52] Leonhart
I mustn't let my mind wander.
This is no time for weakness.
[11:57] Leonhart
Weakness? Is that not my true essence?
[12:02] Leonhart
I curse my own existence and
fear battle due to my own frailty.
[12:07] Leonhart
Merely clinging to the throne I was
given is the extent of my power.
[12:11] Leonhart
So, can... Can I...
[12:16] Leonhart
possibly triumph over this man?
[12:35] Fenrir
I am king!
[12:56] Leonhart
Is it over?
[13:00] Leonhart
I have... no strength left.
[13:04] Leonhart
I can no longer... hear anything.
[13:08] Leonhart
What?
[13:14] Leonhart
"Le"?
[13:16] Leonhart
"On"?
[13:18] Sariphi
Leonhart.
[13:21] Leonhart
Of course.
[13:25] Leonhart
Of course. I have that name.
[13:30] (Flashback) Sariphi
It means "brave-hearted."
[13:33] Leonhart
That pride you gave to me is the one thing
[13:38] Leonhart
that no one can take from me!
[13:45] Fenrir
He... How can he still stand?!
[13:48] Fenrir
How—
[13:51] Fenrir
That woman.
[13:54] Fenrir
She brought this out in him.
[13:59] Fenrir
I...
[14:02] Gleipnir
Fenrir is afraid, just like he was back then.
[14:08] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
My ear... My ear is...
[14:11] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
Y-Your Highness...
[14:13] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
I... I brought Your Highness water.
[14:18] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Stop it!
[14:19] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Don't call me that!
[14:21] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I'm not royalty anymore.
[14:23] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I lost my ear and everything else.
[14:25] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I'm a stray dog!
[14:27] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
You're not my servant anymore! Go away!
[14:31] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Nir!
[14:35] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
What are you...
[14:37] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
If... If you want an ear, I'll give you mine.
[14:40] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
I'll do whatever you say.
[14:43] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
S-So please, keep me with you!
[14:49] Gleipnir
Fenrir...
[14:51] Gleipnir
I was just a stray dog until you gave
me a name and a place to belong.
[14:57] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Nir.
[14:58] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I swear I'll be king of this country someday.
[15:01] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Until then, I'm just plain Fenrir.
Act accordingly.
[15:06] (Flashback) Young Gleipnir
This country? You mean the kingdom of wolves?
[15:10] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
No, I mean the whole beast realm.
[15:13] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
One day, he'll become king.
Then I'll beat him and take over.
[15:18] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
So don't go anywhere. Stay by my side.
[15:22] Gleipnir
One day,
[15:24] Gleipnir
you will be king.
[15:26] Gleipnir
Fenrir! Take it back! Reclaim your pride!
[15:37] Fenrir
I...
[15:38] Leonhart
I...
[15:40] Fenrir; Leonhart
...cannot lose!
[15:56] Anubis
This is a complete...
[16:02] Lanteveldt
Yes!
[16:03] Cy
Hooray!
[16:04] Clops
His Majesty won!
[16:07] Clops
He did it, Sari!
[16:08] Cy
Sari?
[16:14] Leonhart
Forgive me, Sariphi. Did I worry you?
[16:18] Sariphi
No.
[16:19] Sariphi
I believed in you, Leo.
[16:25] Sariphi
Leo?
[16:26] Sariphi
Leo, are you all right?!
[16:27] Anubis
Sire! In front of you!
[16:30] Anubis
He still lives! Quickly, finish him!
[16:39] Sariphi
Sire...
[16:40] Leonhart
Have no fear, Sariphi.
[16:43] Leonhart
For the future of Ozmargo and its people,
[16:50] Leonhart
I must not show this man
a shred of compassion.
[16:55] Leonhart
The king must condemn him.
[16:58] Leonhart
I must, by my own hand.
[17:01] Gleipnir**
That won't be necessary.
[17:11] Anubis
Wh-Why would that man strike Fenrir?!
[17:14] Gleipnir
Now my job is done,
and so is my reason to live.
[17:19] Gleipnir
It's all...
[17:22] Leonhart
Wait!
[17:23] Leonhart
Do you...
[17:32] Anubis
I refuse to let him escape!
[17:34] Anubis
We must give chase!
[17:36] Sariphi
Sire!
[17:39] Sariphi
Sire!
[17:41] Sariphi
We got on Gwiber and rode
straight back to the capital.
[17:46] Anubis
Gather every priest in the palace!
Have them tend to His Majesty!
[17:51] Anubis
Make haste!
[17:53] Amit
Lady Sariphi...
[18:00] Sariphi
Nir, who took Fenrir and vanished,
[18:04] Sariphi
was made a wanted man throughout Ozmargo.
[18:08] Sariphi
A few days later, the injured Lante was...
[18:14] Jormungand
I see that these events
have changed your outlook.
[18:19] Lanteveldt
Not really.
[18:20] Lanteveldt
But Sariphi told me something.
[18:24] Lanteveldt
Guards aren't there to die
for whoever they serve.
[18:27] Lanteveldt
We're there to watch over them
until their job is done.
[18:33] Lanteveldt
So I'm gonna...
[18:35] Jormungand
In that case,
[18:38] Jormungand
you must recover from those
wounds as soon as possible
[18:41] Jormungand
so that you can protect the
queen with all your might.
[18:45] Jormungand
I will be happy to face you then,
Captain Lanteveldt of the Queen's Guard.
[18:55] Lanteveldt
Right!
[18:59] Lanteveldt
Thank you for sparring with me,
Captain Jormungand of the Royal Guard.
[19:05] Sariphi
And as for His Majesty...
[19:14] Sariphi
Sire.
[19:18] Sariphi
Oh, did I wake you?
[19:21] Leonhart
No.
[19:23] Sariphi
So, Mr. Chancellor said that
we need to stay on the alert,
[19:27] Sariphi
since we don't know when Nir
will try to take revenge on you.
[19:33] Leonhart
I doubt that I will ever see him again.
[19:38] Sariphi
Sire, what did you and he
talk about at the end?
[19:42] Leonhart
I asked him if he hated me
for striking down his lord.
[19:47] Leonhart
And he said...
[19:49] (Flashback) Gleipnir
This fight was Fenrir's long-cherished
dream, and also his curse.
[19:55] (Flashback) Gleipnir
At last, Fenrir is free.
[19:59] (Flashback) Gleipnir
I thank you for that.
[20:03] Gleipnir
The winds have turned cold,
haven't they, Fenrir?
[20:08] Gleipnir
I know why you entrusted me
with that final duty.
[20:14] (Flashback) Fenrir
Nir, I'll only say this once.
[20:17] (Flashback) Fenrir
If he defeats me, and he's
about to take my life,
[20:22] (Flashback) Fenrir
I want you to kill me first.
[20:25] (Flashback) Gleipnir
Such talk isn't like you.
[20:29] (Flashback) Fenrir
It isn't. And that's why I'll never say it again.
[20:33] Gleipnir
You were robbed of your ear and your pride.
[20:38] Gleipnir
You lost your title, family, and homeland.
Only your own life was left to you.
[20:44] Gleipnir
You wanted to give me that at the very end.
[20:48] Gleipnir
From the moment we met until now,
you've been my reason for living.
[20:53] Gleipnir
Fenrir, you are my pride.
[20:58] Gleipnir
And...
[20:59] Young Fenrir
Nir!
[21:01] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Nir! Where did you go?!
[21:04] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
I told you to come right away when I call.
[21:07] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
That means you need to stay by my side,
always close enough to hear me.
[21:13] (Flashback) Young Fenrir
Come on! Hurry up!
[21:16] Young Fenrir
Nir!
[21:18] Gleipnir
And...
[21:20] Gleipnir
you are the only king I recognize,
prouder than any other.
[22:59] Set
Now that the king has repelled the rebels,
[23:02] Set
the people support him even
more staunchly than before.
[23:06] Set
Yes, nothing ever goes
quite as one hopes it will.
[23:10] Set
So to gain my objective,
I must find it myself after all.
[23:15] Set
I know that the thing I seek exists
[23:20] Set
somewhere in this forbidden archive.
[23:25] Sariphi
Are your wounds better now, sire?
[23:28] Leonhart
Yes, you need fear no longer.
[23:30] Sariphi
Thank goodness!
[23:31] Leonhart
Wait, Sariphi. I wish to tell you something.
[23:35] Leonhart
Something of grave importance
to this kingdom's future.

Still, the palace seems

We shall celebrate with a triumphal

I need no pomp.

But in this triumph, as at

it may be wise to keep

However,

Wow!

I baked them to celebrate

Would you care for one, Sir Lante?
[03:08] Lanteveldt
Sorry, but I swore off sweet
stuff for my training.

Oh, my. Did you really?
[03:15] Amit
Why, Lady Sariphi.
[03:17] Amit
What's become of your ring?
[03:19] Sariphi
Oh, it broke.
[03:21] Amit
Goodness! Wasn't that
a gift from His Majesty?
[03:25] Sariphi
You knew about that, Amit?
[03:27] Amit
You always wore it, and the stone
matched the hue of His Majesty's eyes.
[03:33] Amit
Anyone would know at a glance.
[03:37] Lanteveldt
Who cares if you lost that little pebble?
[03:40] Lanteveldt
You'll have your pick of way fancier
stuff once you're queen for real.

And I'll have one after all.

If it comes as a gift from one's beloved,

Amit...
[03:58] Lanteveldt
Why not ask him for something really lavish?
[04:01] Amit
I don't know about lavish, Lady Sariphi,
[04:05] Amit
but perhaps you should ask His Majesty
for something to replace it.
[04:11] Leonhart
Your ring?
[04:13] Leonhart
Oh, so it broke.
[04:15] Leonhart
But I gave you that to alleviate the miasma,
[04:20] Leonhart
and you've now built up a tolerance to it.
[04:24] Leonhart
You should no longer need it.

Tell me, sire,

do you remember what I told you
when you gave that ring to me?

Sorry! It's nothing!

I guess it was a long time ago.
[04:42] Sariphi
I shouldn't be surprised.

Come. I have something to show you.

Where are we going, sire?

We've already flown a long way.
[04:56] Leonhart
We've arrived.
[04:57] Sariphi
Huh?
[05:08] Sariphi
A tree...
[05:10] Sariphi
It reminds me of the one the palace
is built into, but this one is thriving.
[05:16] Leonhart
Wards normally hide this
great tree from sight.
[05:20] Leonhart
We'll land here.

How strange. A spring of blue water.

This water is untainted by any miasma.
[05:29] Leonhart
Such a clear spring is a wonder in Ozmargo.
[05:33] Leonhart
The ambrosia that I used to make
your ring only bears fruit here.
[05:41] Leonhart
This blue water is said to be
[05:42] Leonhart
a remnant of a time when blue skies,
not clouds of miasma, canopied this land.
[05:50] Sariphi
Ozmargo used to be like that?
[05:52] Leonhart
So legend has it. I don't know the truth.
[05:55] Leonhart
But due to that legend, this place
is considered holy ground.
[05:59] Leonhart
Only mighty royalty and select priests
may cross the wards that safeguard it.
[06:05] Sariphi
Should someone like me really be here, then?
[06:09] Leonhart
I always meant to show you
[06:11] Leonhart
this clear, beautiful blue—
the same color as your eyes.
[06:16] Sariphi
Th-Thank you.
[06:18] Sariphi
But your eyes are a lovely color, too, sire.
[06:22] Sariphi
They're warm, like fire.
[06:26] Leonhart
Sariphi,
[06:27] Leonhart
give me your hand.
[06:29] Leonhart
The other one.
[06:31] Leonhart
Is it not the third finger of the left hand
[06:34] Leonhart
on which a ring has a special significance?
[06:41] Sariphi
Sire,
[06:43] (Flashback) Sariphi
do you know what putting a ring on your
left ring finger means in human lands?
[06:49] (Flashback) Sariphi
Well, you see,
[06:51] (Flashback) Sariphi
it's a token of a promise
to stay together forever.
[06:56] Sariphi
You remembered?
[07:00] Sariphi
I'm so glad.
[07:01] Sariphi
Thank you.
[07:02] Leonhart
That's still but an improvised
adornment. Step back a bit.
[07:24] Leonhart
I saw your last ring as a
tool to keep you safe.
[07:29] Leonhart
But this
[07:31] Leonhart
is a genuine token of our vows.
[07:34] Leonhart
Proof that you and I will never part.
[07:41] Sariphi
What should I do?
[07:43] Sariphi
Can I really afford to indulge
in these feelings?
[07:48] Sariphi
I can't go back to who I was
before I knew them.
[07:53] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[07:55] Leonhart
At tomorrow's ceremony,
stand beside me wearing this ring,
[08:00] Leonhart
as my one and only lawful queen-to-be.
[08:05] Sariphi
Me, stand with His Majesty?
[08:09] Crowd
The king!
[08:10] Crowd
Long live the king!
[08:12] Crowd
Long live Ozmargo!
[08:20] (Flashback) Sariphi
I won't appear in that ceremony.
[08:23] (Flashback) Leonhart
Sariphi...
[08:25] (Flashback) Sariphi
There will be a big fuss if I do.
[08:28] (Flashback) Leonhart
I'll silence it.
[08:31] (Flashback) Leonhart
I'll dispel all distressing chatter.
[08:33] (Flashback) Leonhart
I swear that I'll protect you!
[08:36] (Flashback) Sariphi
It's not "distressing chatter."
It's the voices of this kingdom's people.
[08:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
I appreciate the thought.
[08:44] (Flashback) Sariphi
But I'll become a queen worthy of you, sire,
[08:49] (Flashback) Sariphi
so wait until I do.
[08:50] (Flashback) Leonhart
Sariphi...
[08:52] (Flashback) Sariphi
In exchange,
[08:53] (Flashback) Sariphi
once the ceremony is over,
go back to being my king.
[09:00] (Flashback) Leonhart
Very well. I understand.
[09:02] Crowd
The king!
[09:04] Leonhart
Perhaps I was a bit too hasty.
[09:04] Crowd
Long live the king!
[09:08] Leonhart
Sariphi, I have every faith in you.
[09:16] Lanteveldt
Good grief.
[09:17] Lanteveldt
Do you need to bring all these
to your room at once?
[09:20] Clops
We're helping carry!
[09:21] Cy
Carry!
[09:22] Sariphi
Sorry. When a book catches my eye,
I can't rest unless I read it straight away.
[09:27] Lanteveldt
What's so fun about reading? I don't get it.
[09:32] Sariphi
Books are full of things I don't know.
[09:38] Set
Oh?
[09:39] Set
Dear me.
[09:41] Set
I humbly beg your pardon,
Acting Queen Consort.
[09:44] Set
Have I injured you?
[09:46] Sariphi
Oh, no. I'm fine.
[09:49] Set
Then, by your leave.
[09:51] Lanteveldt
Who's he?
[09:52] Sariphi
Justice Set. I've barely ever
spoken with him, either.
[09:57] Lanteveldt
He doesn't leave much of an impression.
[10:00] Lanteveldt
Is that all of them?
[10:02] Lanteveldt
You'd better hurry back to your room, then.
[10:05] Lanteveldt
It looks like rain.
[10:13] Leonhart
Do you feel calmer now?
[10:15] Sariphi
Yes, I'm fi—
[10:21] Leonhart
I suppose I left that wound on your heart.
[10:27] Sariphi
What do you mean?
[10:28] Leonhart
You said it all began on a night like this,
[10:30] Leonhart
when you learned that you
were to be a sacrifice.
[10:35] Leonhart
My royal predecessor decreed the
sacrifices, and I continued them.
[10:41] Sariphi
But, sire, you—
[10:42] Leonhart
True, I never devoured a sacrificial maiden,
[10:47] Leonhart
but I can do nothing for the girls
I spare after they escape.
[10:52] Leonhart
And once chosen as sacrifices, they can
never return to their former lives.
[10:59] Leonhart
Even now, at your side, I am
powerless to calm this storm.
[11:06] Sariphi
Hey, sire, would you tell me a story?
[11:10] Leonhart
A story?
[11:10] Sariphi
Yeah.
[11:12] Leonhart
Very well.
[11:13] Leonhart
Then I will tell you of my mother.
[11:17] Sariphi
You don't mind?
[11:18] Leonhart
It would be unfair of me to learn
your past without sharing mine.
[11:26] Leonhart
When I was young, "mother" to me meant
[11:30] Leonhart
the portrait of the late queen, who I
was told had died soon after my birth.
[11:35] Leonhart
But that queen
[11:37] Leonhart
was not my mother.
[11:40] Leonhart
So where did I come from?
[11:44] Leonhart
Do I truly have a mother? Does she
still live somewhere in the world?
[11:50] Leonhart
Sometimes I still ponder, even now.
[11:54] Leonhart
Did my father, who loathed
other species, love my mother?
[11:59] Leonhart
Did the mother whom I've never seen love me?
[12:04] Leonhart
Did anyone wish for my birth?
[12:10] Sariphi
Sire...
[12:12] Leonhart
Forgive me. I spoke of parity, but I may
as well have told you nothing at all.
[12:19] Sariphi
No.
[12:20] Sariphi
Thank you for telling me.
[12:23] Sariphi
His Majesty was born with the blood
of two conflicting peoples.
[12:27] Sariphi
My own parents abandoned me.
[12:31] Sariphi
Even if no one did want us to be born,
[12:36] Sariphi
what can we do about it?
[12:38] Sariphi
I mean, we're already here.
[12:41] Sariphi
Thanks to that, we can desire
someone and be desired now,
[12:47] Sariphi
and that matters so, so much more.
[12:50] Leonhart
Yes, you're right.
[12:52] Leonhart
The past counts for less than the present.
[12:56] Leonhart
And the future.
[12:59] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[13:00] Sariphi
What is it?
[13:02] Leonhart
I've been toying with an
idea for some time now.
[13:07] Leonhart
Several nights of revelation from now,
Yoana will send another sacrifice.
[13:14] Sariphi
Yes.
[13:15] Leonhart
Trickery can only fool the court for so long.
[13:20] Leonhart
And those chosen as sacrifices
will suffer regardless.
[13:25] Leonhart
The time has come to strike
at the root of the problem.
[13:29] Sariphi
You mean...
[13:31] Sariphi
He'll abolish the system of sacrifices?!
[13:35] Leonhart
Sacrifice is the power balance between
beasts and humans in microcosm.
[13:40] Leonhart
The older generations who experienced
the war will oppose its abolition.
[13:44] Leonhart
But new generations have not
learned to hate humans,
[13:48] Leonhart
and their numbers will surely grow.
[13:51] Leonhart
If they are to face humans earnestly,
unswayed by prejudice and past discord,
[13:59] Leonhart
I must lay a foundation of normal
relations between our realms now.
[14:04] Leonhart
That is my duty as king.
[14:08] Sariphi
Sire...
[14:09] Leonhart
But first, we must overcome an obstacle:
the principle of mutual inviolability.
[14:15] Sariphi
What's that?
[14:18] Leonhart
Anyone who crosses the border for
any reason, in either direction,
[14:24] Leonhart
does so at their own mortal peril.
[14:26] Leonhart
To reconcile with Yoana,
we must send emissaries to them.
[14:31] Leonhart
But our envoys will have no one
to guarantee their safety.
[14:36] Sariphi
So if the envoys were to die for some reason...
[14:40] Leonhart
Hatred of humans would only grow,
[14:43] Leonhart
and the road to reconciliation
would grow much longer.
[14:47] Sariphi
Just like the beast realm
is dangerous for humans,
[14:50] Sariphi
the human realm is a
dangerous place for beasts.
[14:55] Sariphi
Human?
[14:57] Sariphi
Sire...
[14:59] Sariphi
Could I be your envoy?
[15:04] Sariphi
Since I'm...
[15:09] Anubis
I am opposed!
[15:11] Anubis
Abolishing the system of sacrifices
at all is ill-advised.
[15:14] Anubis
No one will ever accept such a thing!
[15:17] Leonhart
The change need not be immediate.
[15:20] Leonhart
I will propose creating a space
for our realms to speak directly.
[15:26] Anubis
That is the problem!
[15:29] Anubis
Do you realize what it would mean
[15:31] Anubis
for us to be seen reaching out to Yoana?!
[15:34] Leonhart
Naturally.
[15:36] Leonhart
For the sake of restoring
diplomatic relations in the future,
[15:38] Leonhart
Ozmargo will henceforth negotiate
with Yoana as an equal nation.
[15:44] Speaker B
B-But sire, how can Yoana be our equal?
[15:48] Speaker A
Vanquishing the rebels allowed you
to display your royal dignity,
[15:52] Speaker A
but the people will never stand for this!
[15:55] Lanteveldt
"The people"? Don't you mean you, old-timers?
[16:00] Lanteveldt
Most people these days haven't seen
enough of humans to really hate 'em.
[16:05] Lanteveldt
Don't act like you speak for the masses
when you never listen to them.
[16:10] Speaker A
I-Insolence!
[16:12] Speaker B
Mind your tongue!
[16:13] Lanteveldt
We won't get anywhere with you guys.
[16:16] Lanteveldt
If Sariphi goes, then so will I.
[16:18] Lanteveldt
Isn't that what a guard captain's for?
[16:21] Sariphi
Lante, we should excuse ourselves.
[16:25] Lanteveldt
Ugh! Me going with you
would solve all our problems.
[16:31] Sariphi
But if a beast like you got in a fight
with humans, we'd have trouble.
[16:38] Sariphi
Can you swear you won't fight?
[16:40] Lanteveldt
Nope!
SIGN HONEST
SIGN HONEST
[16:41] Sariphi
See?
[16:43] Sariphi
Of course, this is easier said than done.
[16:47] Sariphi
Sire. Did you talk things out?
[16:50] Leonhart
No. Anubis wishes to speak with you privately.
[16:55] Sariphi
He does?
[17:05] Sariphi
Unbelievable. Can't young women
these days so much as clean properly?
[17:11] Anubis
Who is that an impression of?!
[17:15] Anubis
Girl, do you honestly believe
that beasts and humans can come
[17:19] Anubis
to an understanding with each other?
[17:21] Sariphi
Well, I know that it won't be easy, but—
[17:25] Anubis
Spare me the preamble.
[17:27] Anubis
Answer yes or no.
[17:30] Sariphi
I think... we can.
[17:33] Anubis
And by volunteering as an envoy,
[17:36] Anubis
do you believe you can become a bridge
between beasts and humans?
[17:39] Anubis
Be truthful, girl.
[17:41] Sariphi
Me, a bridge? Oh, Mr. Chancellor,
you're exaggerating.
[17:45] Anubis
That was exactly my point!
[17:47] Anubis
How vexing! I knew that talking
to humans was a waste of time!
[17:51] Sariphi
You mean talking to me,
not "to humans," don't you?
[17:57] Sariphi
This isn't about humans and beasts.
You just don't like me.
[18:03] Sariphi
If someone as hard-headed as you
can see a person before their species,
[18:07] Sariphi
then other people can do it, too.
SIGN FREEZE
[18:10] Sariphi
I can't help it if they don't like what they see.
[18:13] Sariphi
But perfect strangers hating each other
through misconceptions and hearsay?
[18:19] Sariphi
That terrifies me.
[18:21] Sariphi
So if approaching Yoana can
change the future even slightly,
[18:27] Sariphi
then I'll do everything that I can right now.
[18:31] Sariphi
If there's something only I can do
for the future His Majesty wants...
[18:36] Sariphi
If it will help the king who made
me the person I am now...
[18:41] Anubis
Very well.
[18:43] Anubis
I will approve a diplomatic mission to Yoana
and the appointment of you as our emissary.
[18:50] Anubis
I shall inform the senate forthwith.
[18:53] Sariphi
Thank you, Mr. Chancellor!
[18:55] Sariphi
I guess you can be nice every now and then!
[18:58] Sariphi
I'll tell His Majesty, okay?
[19:01] Anubis
For His Majesty, is it?
[19:04] Anubis
That girl never fails to irritate.
[19:08] Leonhart
I see. So Anubis agreed.
[19:11] Leonhart
Very well.
[19:12] Leonhart
My message to Yoana is in your hands.
[19:16] Sariphi
Sire!
[19:17] Leonhart
But Lanteveldt and several
guards will accompany you.
[19:21] Sariphi
Huh? But doesn't that defeat
the point of sending me?
[19:25] Leonhart
I refuse to compromise on your safety.
[19:28] Sariphi
Please, sire.
[19:29] Sariphi
I know I'm not the most dependable, so—
[19:32] Leonhart
No! I—
[19:34] Bennu
Hold it right there!
[19:36] Bennu
Make way for the greatest
holy beast, Bennu the phoenix!
[19:41] Bennu
I ain't a beast or a human, so nothing
can tie me down, numbskulls!
[19:49] Sariphi
Bennu!
[19:50] Bennu
Hey.
[19:51] Sariphi
Of course!
[19:53] Sariphi
Beast and human laws
don't apply to holy beasts!
[19:56] Bennu
You got it, girlie. I'll just fly
right over with you on my back.
[20:01] Sariphi
I can get to Yoana safely if I fly on Bennu.
[20:04] Sariphi
Please, sire!
[20:08] Leonhart
You win.
[20:11] Set
I knew it. Not a single trace
in all these documents.
[20:17] Set
The pregnancies of queens and concubines.
[20:20] Set
Where and when they gave birth, the
weather at the time, the attending priest...
[20:25] Set
All these details that should have been
recorded are conspicuously missing.
[20:31] Set
And for only one royal.
[20:34] Set
Yes,
[20:36] Set
only the records of our current king's birth!
[20:43] Amit
Lady Sariphi, please, please take care!
[20:47] Amit
Turn back at the first sign of danger!
[20:49] Clops
Sari!
[20:50] Cy
Ri!
[20:51] Lanteveldt
I still don't like it.
Guarding you is my job.
[20:56] Sariphi
Thank you all for seeing me off.
[20:59] Lanteveldt
The king's awfully cold, though.
[21:01] Lanteveldt
I can't believe he didn't come to
say goodbye. Is he still sulking?
[21:04] Sariphi
Nothing like that.
[21:06] Sariphi
His Majesty said his goodbyes
when I left the palace.
[21:12] (Flashback) Sariphi
I just have to deliver your letter and
come back with the answer, right?
[21:19] (Flashback) Sariphi
Well, I'd better get going.
[21:22] (Flashback) Leonhart
Sariphi.
[21:24] (Flashback) Leonhart
Making you my emissary is probably
the best choice available to me.
[21:30] (Flashback) Leonhart
The decision may even
leave its mark on history.
[21:37] (Flashback) Leonhart
And yet, I...
[21:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
Sire, I owe you an apology.
[21:46] (Flashback) Sariphi
I said that I knew you were worried
because I'm not dependable.
[21:52] (Flashback) Sariphi
But that wasn't it, was it?
[21:53] (Flashback) Sariphi
You were only worried
because you care about me.
[22:02] (Flashback) Sariphi
So...
[22:05] (Flashback) Sariphi
I won't tell you not to worry.
[22:07] (Flashback) Sariphi
Instead, I'll only ask you to wait.
[22:12] (Flashback) Sariphi
If you'll wait for me—if I can
have a place to come home to—
[22:18] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'll be able to draw so much
courage just from that.
[22:22] (Flashback) Leonhart
Yes.
[22:25] (Flashback) Leonhart
I'll be waiting for your return.
[22:28] (Flashback) Leonhart
So...
[22:29] (Flashback) Leonhart
Let me worry myself to death.
[22:33] (Flashback) Sariphi
Okay.
[22:35] Sariphi
I'll be back, sire.
[22:42] Set
The king's birth holds some vital secret.
[22:47] Set
Likely one whose exposure
could upend everything.
[22:51] Amit
Please take care!
[22:54] Cy; Clops
Sari!
[22:55] Lanteveldt
You'd better make this quick!
[22:57] Sariphi
See you later, everyone!
[23:01] Set
So, if I can uncover it,
then I can finally achieve
[23:08] Set
my long-cherished ambition!
[23:15] Sariphi
As a human—and a sacrifice—
I will be the beasts' emissary to Yoana.
[23:25] Sariphi
To end the sacrifices and normalize relations,
[23:29] Sariphi
with His Majesty's great resolve in my heart,
[23:31] Sariphi
I set out for my homeland, Yoana,
[23:34] Sariphi

You look like a pilgrim to me.
[00:24] Merchant
And if you're going on a pilgrimage,
how about a robe?
[00:27] Sariphi
Huh?
[00:28] Merchant
This precious garment,
woven of oliva thread,

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Thank you so much.
[02:31] Ocelot
Are you on a pilgrimage?
[02:33] Sariphi
No, I'm—

I am Ocelot, and I have the great honor
to serve as the acting commander of

the Kingdom of Maskviana's
Exorcistic Knights.

Ah...
[02:43] Ocelot
To reach Lova Cathedral,

No, I'm—
[02:49] Ocelot
Atria Abbey, then?
[02:51] Ocelot
That's in the hills outside of town,
but it's a bit far to set out now.
[02:56] Bennu
This guy ain't gonna listen.
[02:59] Sariphi
Um, I'm actually looking for the palace.
[03:02] Sariphi
I want an audience with the king.

An audience? His Majesty doesn't
grant those to just anyone.
[03:08] Ocelot
But I'll hear you out if you'll let me.
[03:11] Sariphi
Thank you!
[03:15] Sariphi
My name is Sariphi.
[03:17] Sariphi
I'm an emissary from the king
of Ozmargo, the beast realm,
[03:20] Sariphi
and I bear a letter to the king of
Maskviana, who represents Yoana.
[03:27] Sariphi
I got arrested.
[03:28] Bennu
Well, duh.
[03:30] Bennu
Did you expect them to buy that
you came from the beast realm?
[03:34] Sariphi
But they'll believe me when they find
out the letter is real, won't they?
[03:41] Bennu
I wouldn't be so sure.
[03:43] Sariphi
I hope Ocelot
[03:46] Sariphi
actually reports the letter to his king.

Oh, will Lady Sariphi truly be safe?!

B-Be strong!

What can we do, except
settle down here for life?
[04:39] Sariphi
We can't do that!
[04:41] Ocelot
Sariphi Kleinoel.
[04:44] Ocelot
Pardon this delay.
[04:46] Ocelot
I have confirmed that your name is indeed
that of the most recent sacrifice.
[04:51] Ocelot
As such, we will provisionally accept that
you have traveled here from the beast realm.
[04:55] Sariphi
Then what about the letter?
[04:57] Ocelot
Unfortunately, beast script is
currently taboo in this kingdom.
[05:02] Ocelot
Thus, none here can read it.
[05:04] Ocelot
And I cannot deliver the paper to His
Majesty without knowing its contents.
[05:09] Sariphi
What?
[05:10] Bennu
Oh, come on.
[05:12] Ocelot
However, I hear tell that a
woman in a frontier village
[05:16] Ocelot
is engaged in independent
study of beast script.
[05:29] (Flashback) Ocelot
She may be able to—
[05:30] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'll go!
[05:31] (Flashback) Sariphi
I'd like to pay her a visit!
[05:33] (Flashback) Ocelot
You would...
[05:39] (Flashback) Ocelot
Very well. Bring her here
to decipher the missive.
[05:43] (Flashback) Ocelot
If it is as you say, I will see
that His Majesty receives it.
[05:50] Bennu
You sure about this, girlie?
You agreed awful quick.
[05:54] Sariphi
Yes. He said she studies beast script,
even though it's forbidden.
[05:59] Sariphi
If there really is a woman like that,
I want to meet her!
[06:04] Sariphi
I wonder what made her interested in
beast culture, and how she feels about it.
[06:10] Villager A
What?!
[06:11] Villager B
You don't mean the Witch
of Shidai, do you, miss?!
[06:15] Sariphi
What witch?
[06:16] Villager A
A girl who lives on her own,
way out that way.
[06:21] Villager A
They call her a witch in these parts
'cause she reads beast writing, I hear.
[06:28] Bennu
That the place?
[06:30] Sariphi
Um, excuse me! Hello!
[06:37] Sariphi
Maybe she's out?
[06:52] Bennu
Hey! What the hell was that for?!
[07:00] Sariphi
She looks...
[07:05] Bennu
I said,
[07:06] Bennu
give it a rest!
[07:11] Sariphi
I was right. She looks...
[07:14] Sariphi
like His Majesty's—like Leo's other form.
[07:22] Sariphi
That's enough, Bennu.
[07:28] Sariphi
Are you—
[07:29] Anastasia
Who are you? How did you tame this monster?
[07:33] Bennu
Who're you calling a monster?!
[07:35] Sariphi
Now, now.
[07:37] Sariphi
I'm Sariphi.
[07:39] Sariphi
I used to be a sacrifice,
[07:41] Sariphi
but a lot happened, and now I'm
an emissary for the beast realm.
[07:46] Anastasia
You're what?
[07:48] Sariphi
I came here to ask you for a favor.
[07:50] Sariphi
I heard that you can read beast script, so I...
[07:54] Anastasia
I don't know what the villagers told you,
but it has nothing to do with me.
[08:01] Anastasia
Leave.
[08:02] Sariphi
Oh, wait!
[08:04] Sariphi
I have more questions for—
[08:07] Anastasia
I want nothing to do with beasts,
even as a prank.
[08:12] Anastasia
I have nothing to tell you,
and I don't want to hear your story.
[08:17] Anastasia
Begone.
[08:19] Anastasia
Next time, I really will kill you.
[08:24] Bennu
That lady's got an even worse
temper than I figured.
[08:28] Bennu
She's a witch, all right.
[08:33] Anastasia
A sacrifice? The beasts' emissary?
What in the world...
[08:40] Anastasia
But it's got nothing to do with me.
[08:48] Bennu
Are you kidding me, girlie?
[08:50] Bennu
You're gonna camp out in these
hills until she'll deal with you?
[08:55] Sariphi
Yup. I can't leave empty-handed.
[08:58] Bennu
The king'd faint if he found out.
[09:02] Sariphi
Don't tell him, okay?
[09:04] Bennu
He can't understand me anyway.
[09:06] Bennu
Not that that lady seems
much for listening, either.
[09:11] Bennu
Speaking of which, you said you
had more questions for her.
[09:15] Sariphi
Yes.
[09:17] Sariphi
I can't even tell Bennu
[09:20] Sariphi
that I'm curious because she looks
like the king's human form.
[09:24] Sariphi
And...
[09:26] (Flashback) Anastasia
Begone.
[09:28] Sariphi
Those cold eyes.
[09:30] Sariphi
For a moment, I felt scared, as though
His Majesty had said that to me.

Yo.

Wait! Hear me out!

Jeez! Talk about unapproachable.
[10:08] Sariphi
Yeah.
[10:13] Bennu
Where's she going?
[10:24] Sariphi
Edelweiss.
[10:26] Sariphi
Right?
[10:28] Sariphi
Are you growing these flowers?
[10:31] Anastasia
So what if I am?
[10:33] Anastasia
What's wrong with a witch growing flowers?
[10:36] Sariphi
"A witch"? Really.
[10:38] Sariphi
That's just a nickname.
[10:40] Sariphi
What are you really called?
[10:46] Anastasia
I forget.
[10:59] Sariphi
Rain...
[11:02] Bennu
We should head back, too.
[11:03] Sariphi
Yeah.
[11:13] Sariphi
Huh?

What are you doing?!

Who're you?!
[11:26] Sariphi
No, who are you?
[11:27] Man B
This is the witch's garden!
[11:30] Man A
Yeah! She grows poison here to
kill us villagers from Shidai!
[11:37] Sariphi
What?
[11:38] Sariphi
There's nothing poisonous about edelweiss!
[11:41] Man B
No, that can't be!
[11:44] Man B
Her blood is cursed!
[11:47] Man A
She's a dreadful witch!
[11:51] Man B
Wh-What the?!
[11:53] Man A
Stay out of this!
[11:55] Man A
We need to destroy this field of poison quick!
[11:58] Sariphi
I'll never let you do that!
[12:01] Man A
Could she be one of the witch's minions?!
[12:04] Man B
Tie her up!
[12:07] Bennu
Hey!
[12:08] Sariphi
Sire...
[12:12] Man B
B-Blood!
[12:14] Anastasia
Yes, this is a witch's garden.
[12:18] Anastasia
If you set foot in it, come prepared to die.
[12:23] Man A
I-It's her!
[12:37] Sariphi
Th-Thank you.
[12:40] Anastasia
I just got rid of a threat to my field.
[12:43] Anastasia
If you keep hanging around,
I'll do the same to you.
[12:50] Anastasia
Why did you go this far?
[12:53] Anastasia
They're only flowers.
[12:55] Sariphi
Well...
[12:57] Sariphi
These flowers, edelweiss,
stand for precious memories.
[13:03] Sariphi
So I thought that maybe you grow them
[13:06] Sariphi
to remind you of something
you really care about.
[13:19] (Flashback) Ocelot
Don't let anything the
villagers say bother you.
[13:22] (Flashback) Ocelot
You're not a witch.
[13:24] (Flashback) Ocelot
I'll get strong enough to prove it.
[13:29] (Flashback) Ocelot
I'll practice the sword like mad
and learn horse riding, too.
[13:32] (Flashback) Ocelot
I'll run every day and polish
myself till I shine.
[13:37] (Flashback) Anastasia
There's no way you could do all that!
[13:40] (Flashback) Anastasia
What could a wimp like you ever prove?!
[13:44] (Flashback) Anastasia
Just leave me alone!
[13:46] (Flashback) Anastasia
Stop coming to see me!
[14:02] Anastasia
I never knew these flowers had that meaning.
[14:05] Anastasia
An old friend of mine from
the village used to grow them.
[14:12] Anastasia
That's all.
[14:15] Anastasia
You said you're called Sariphi, right?
[14:19] Anastasia
Don't you have a favor to ask me?
[14:22] Anastasia
I'll hear you out, but no promises.
[14:25] Sariphi
You mean it?!
[14:26] Bennu
Nice going, girlie!
[14:28] Bennu
Once you get 'em talking, the rest is easy.
[14:31] Sariphi
All right, then. Tell me your name.
[14:34] Anastasia
Huh?
[14:34] Sariphi
Your name.
[14:37] Bennu
Huh?
[14:38] Anastasia
What? That's your question?
[14:42] Sariphi
Yup.
[14:44] Sariphi
I mean, you're not really a witch,
[14:48] Sariphi
so I want to know what to call you.
[14:55] Anastasia
Anastasia.
[14:58] Anastasia
It's Anastasia.
[15:01] Sariphi
Anastasia...
[15:05] Anastasia
Hey, are you...
[15:08] Sariphi
Huh?
[15:14] Bennu
You okay, girlie?
[15:19] Anastasia
Here. Dry yourself off with that.
[15:22] Sariphi
Th-Thank you for taking care of me.
[15:26] Anastasia
If you'd died there, your rotting
carcass would be a nuisance.
[15:32] Sariphi
You're so nice, Asya.
[15:36] (Flashback) Ocelot
Hey, Asya.
[15:39] Anastasia
"Asya"?
[15:40] Sariphi
You're Anastasia, right?
So "Asya" for short.
[15:46] Anastasia
Get some sleep.
[15:48] Sariphi
Okay.
[16:04] Anastasia
Did your fever break? You must
be tougher than you look.
[16:10] Sariphi
You're up late, Asya.
[16:13] Sariphi
What are you reading?
[16:16] Sariphi
This is...
[16:18] Sariphi
a book in beast script!
[16:20] Sariphi
I came looking for you because there's
some beast script I'd like you to read.
[16:26] Sariphi
What is this?
[16:27] Anastasia
Just a diary.
[16:30] Anastasia
One of my female ancestors made
a point to write it in beast script.
[16:35] Anastasia
She must not have wanted anyone
in the village to read it.
[16:38] Sariphi
But how did she learn beast script?
[16:42] Sariphi
Oh, if you'd rather not say...
[16:45] Anastasia
I don't mind.
[16:47] Anastasia
Generations ago, one of my ancestors
[16:50] Anastasia
broke a taboo so great that our
whole lineage is despised for it.
[16:55] Anastasia
Although she was human,
[16:57] Anastasia
she made love to a beast and bore his child.
[17:01] Sariphi
Could that beast have been...
[17:06] Sariphi
His Majesty's ancestor?
[17:08] Cy
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
[17:10] Clops
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
[17:11] Cy
Heave-ho, heave-ho.
[17:13] Anubis
You there, servants.
[17:14] Anubis
Explain yourselves.
[17:16] Anubis
Did I not warn you against removing so
many books from the archives at once?
[17:20] Clops
Well, you see, Sari was
planning to read these.
[17:24] Clops
We're bringing them back to the archives now.
[17:26] Cy
Now.
[17:30] Anubis
Where did you get this book?
Was it in the archives, as well?
[17:34] Cy
Huh? Don't recognize.
[17:37] Clops
That's strange.
[17:39] Clops
Oh!
[17:40] Clops
It must be Justice Set's!
[17:43] Clops
I bet it slipped in when
he bumped into Sari!
[17:48] Sariphi
Your ancestor and a beast...
[17:50] Sariphi
Then... do you have beast blood, too, Asya?
[17:54] Anastasia
I don't know.
[17:56] Anastasia
What became of my ancestor who
married a beast is a mystery, too.
[18:00] Anastasia
But this diary proves that my
family was linked to a beast.
[18:06] Anastasia
I deciphered beast script to read it,
[18:11] Anastasia
but it's full of boring, everyday stuff.
[18:15] Sariphi
The diary of someone who loved a beast.
[18:19] Anastasia
If you want it, you can have it.
[18:21] Anastasia
I was going to get rid of it anyway.
[18:23] Sariphi
Are you sure?
[18:25] Anastasia
Yeah, although I don't know why you're
so interested in someone's diary.
[18:31] Sariphi
Something about someone dear
to me might be written in it.
[18:38] (Flashback) Leonhart
Sometimes I still ponder, even now.
[18:41] (Flashback) Leonhart
Did the mother whom I've never seen love me?
[18:46] (Flashback) Leonhart
Did anyone wish for my birth?
[18:54] Sariphi
It might give me answers that would mean
a lot to my beloved—to His Majesty.
[19:02] Anastasia
Your "beloved"? "His Majesty"?
[19:06] Sariphi
He's the king of beasts.
[19:09] Anastasia
You...
[19:11] Anastasia
I can't imagine falling for a beast.
[19:16] Anastasia
To be honest, it makes me sick.
[19:18] Anastasia
But...
[19:22] Anastasia
Anyway, what do you need me to do?
[19:25] Sariphi
Huh?
[19:26] Bennu
Girlie.
[19:27] Sariphi
I'd like you to decipher a letter
written in beast script.
[19:32] Sariphi
Please come with me to the palace.
[19:37] Sariphi
Wait for me, sire.
[19:44] Anubis
Wait.
[19:46] Anubis
Where do you think you're going,
[19:48] Anubis
Set?
[19:51] Set
Why feign ignorance?
[19:53] Set
This path leads to only one place.
[19:57] Set
The forbidden archive, which only
royalty and select priests may enter.
[20:03] Set
You know that as well as I do.
Is that not why you shadow me so often?
[20:09] Anubis
He noticed.
[20:11] Set
Oh, that book.
[20:13] Set
That's the one I lost the other day.
[20:17] Set
I see.
[20:19] Set
Only royalty and the archpriest,
second in power to the king,
[20:23] Set
may read that forbidden volume.
[20:27] Set
Though the archpriest vanished
during His Late Majesty's reign,
[20:31] Set
and the post has long been vacant.
[20:34] Set
I have read what only such great men may.
[20:39] Set
Merely entering this taboo realm requires
arts known only to royals and priests,
[20:45] Set
and yet I set foot in there and took that.
[20:49] Set
And now that you're certain of it,
you've come to confront me.
[20:53] Set
Am I correct?
[20:55] Anubis
How can you be so calm, scoundrel?
[21:00] Anubis
Don't you realize that your trespasses—
[21:03] Set
Yes.
[21:03] Set
Breaking this taboo is treason
and an affront to royal dignity.
[21:09] Set
Unless...
[21:10] Set
the perpetrator is royalty himself.
[21:15] Anubis
Set, what are you...
[21:19] Set
My Lord Chancellor, your line has
endured to serve the royal house.
[21:26] Anubis
True, but I chose the king of my own will!
[21:30] Anubis
His Majesty is the only one for
whom I would give everything!
[21:34] Set
Yes, how truly touching.
[21:37] Set
But have you ever asked yourself
[21:40] Set
who your king truly is?
[21:45] Set
Chancellor,
[21:46] Set
you should know the truth
about the absolute monarch
[21:52] Set
to whom you pledged everything.
[23:25] Sariphi
I'm so glad Asya opened up to
me after that frosty reception.
[23:31] Sariphi
But should I really have accepted this diary?
[23:35] Sariphi
What if it says something His Majesty
would want to keep private?

[02:15] Ocelot**
Well done, Sariphi.
[02:18] Sariphi
Ocelot!
[02:20] Anastasia
Ocelot?
[02:22] Anastasia
Wh-What are you doing here?
[02:24] Ocelot
Asya...
[02:28] Ocelot
Were you always this short?
[02:30] Anastasia
You just got tall!
[02:32] Anastasia
What did you expect after more
than a decade, you big oaf?
[02:37] Sariphi
You two know each other?
[02:42] Ocelot
Actually, Sariphi, I'm from
the same village as Asya.
[02:46] Sariphi
What?!
[02:47] Anastasia
You up and left out of the blue, though.
[02:51] Anastasia
Because of me.
[02:53] Ocelot
You're wrong, Asya.
I came here of my own free will.
[02:59] Ocelot
I felt that I needed to get stronger.
[03:01] Anastasia
What?
[03:02] Ocelot
I always meant to come back for you someday.
[03:06] Ocelot
Then Sariphi turned up.
[03:09] Ocelot
When I told her about you,
she was eager for a meeting.
[03:12] Ocelot
So I thought I'd get her to fetch you,
[03:17] Ocelot
since I felt sure that she wouldn't
view you with suspicion.
[03:22] Anastasia
You did?
[03:24] Ocelot
I've gotten stronger, Asya.
[03:27] Ocelot
I practiced swordsmanship and riding,
and I improved myself.
[03:31] Ocelot
I know that I can protect you now!
[03:35] Ocelot
What do you think?
How do I look in your eyes?
[03:40] Anastasia
The same as ever.
[03:44] Anastasia
So what do you want me to do?
[03:55] Anastasia
It's done.
[03:57] Anastasia
Will this do?
[03:58] Ocelot
Yes, thank you.
[04:00] Ocelot
I'll show this to His Majesty at once.
[04:04] Ocelot
Both of you, wait here.
[04:06] Ocelot
You'll see His Majesty as soon
as he grants an audience.
[04:16] Anastasia
Meeting the king makes you nervous, too?
[04:20] Sariphi
Yes, sort of.
[04:22] Anastasia
Oh, I guess you are about to meet
the jerk who made you a sacrifice.
[04:27] Sariphi
I don't hold it against him, really.
[04:30] Anastasia
You're too softhearted.
[04:31] Anastasia
I'd get back at him,
even if it got me executed.
[04:36] Sariphi
What?
[04:37] Anastasia
I mean it.
[04:39] Anastasia
I'd punch out a king or even a god if I had to.
[04:44] Anastasia
So go in there and say your piece
with your head held high.
[04:49] Sariphi
Thank you.
[04:57] Sariphi
I don't remember much about the days
[05:01] Sariphi
between the night I learned I was
a sacrifice and when I accepted it.
[05:07] Sariphi
But until I resigned myself to
everything, he did frighten me.
[05:13] Sariphi
And now I'm about to be face-to-face
with him, the ruler of Yoana.
[05:23] King
You are the Ozmargan emissary,
Sariphi Kleinoel,
[05:28] King
the sacrifice who was spared?
[05:32] Sariphi
I am.
[05:33] King
We have seen your document, and it does
indeed bear the royal seal of Ozmargo.
[05:40] King
Thus, we acknowledge it
as a genuine royal letter.
[05:45] King
Its import, however, is far too great
[05:50] King
for our kingdom to weigh its truth
or issue a response alone.
[05:55] King
We shall convene a global
council within seven days
[05:59] King
and confer with representatives
of other nations.
[06:02] King
Kindly inform the king of Ozmargo
that we wish for more time.
[06:09] Sariphi
I understand, sire.
I promise to inform His Majesty.
[06:13] King
Incidentally, we have one
other question for you.
[06:18] King
What sort of place is the realm of beasts?
[06:22] Sariphi
Huh?
[06:24] King
Our royal house of Maskviana accepted
the sacrifices in exchange for peace.
[06:31] King
Since then, we have sent
countless maidens there,
[06:35] King
forcing the weak alone to pay
the heavy price of our respite.
[06:42] King
We have a duty to know all.
[06:49] Sariphi
The beast realm is much more
ordinary than humans think.
[06:54] Sariphi
The environment isn't like here,
[06:57] Sariphi
but its people laugh, rejoice, waver,
and fret over little things.
[07:03] Sariphi
Some of them are lovely,
and some aren't so nice.
[07:07] Sariphi
And they have a kind king who wishes
peace for beasts and humans alike.
[07:15] Sariphi
It's not some other world.
[07:17] Sariphi
Everyone there lives each
day as best they can.
[07:23] Sariphi
It's an ordinary place,
[07:25] Sariphi
and one that means a lot to me.
[07:29] Sariphi
That's how I see it.
[07:32] Sariphi
Um... Did I say something rude?
[07:36] Ocelot
No. I was surprised that
you were so forthright.
[07:40] Ocelot
But I'm even more shocked that His Majesty
thought of the sacrifices that way.
[07:45] Ocelot
He's always stern in public
and never shows weakness.
[07:50] Sariphi
That... sounds like His Majesty.
[07:54] Ocelot
It might take time,
[07:57] Ocelot
but it no longer seems
impossible that someday,
[08:01] Ocelot
the human and beast realms
will have normal relations.
[08:07] Sariphi
Listen, sire.
[08:10] Sariphi
I managed to tell them how you feel.
[08:16] Set
My Lord Chancellor,
I desire only one thing of you.
[08:21] Set
I will outline a proposal.
Kindly convey it to the king
[08:27] (Flashback) Set
without mentioning my involvement.
[08:41] Anubis
Why do I hesitate? There is no need.
[08:46] Anubis
He speaks nonsense.
[08:48] Anubis
I am merely making certain.
[08:54] Anubis
It is Anubis. May I have a moment
of Your Majesty's time?
[08:59] Leonhart
Not now, unless it's urgent.
[09:02] Leonhart
Or you may speak from out there.
[09:04] Anubis
No, I would prefer to see your face.
I require only a moment.
[09:10] Set
If the king firmly denies your request
or refuses to leave his chamber,
[09:17] (Flashback) Set
then perhaps he has a reason
to conceal himself from you.
[09:22] Anubis
Please, sire.
[09:24] Anubis
Please show yourself before
your humble servant, Anubis.
[09:39] Anubis
Sire...
[09:41] Leonhart
What is it? I'm busy.
[09:43] Anubis
I beg your pardon, sire.
[09:46] Anubis
I have proposals concerning
your future course.
[09:50] Anubis
First, about negotiations with Yoana.
[09:55] Anubis
And then one other,
[09:58] Anubis
about Lady Sariphi.
[10:02] Sariphi
Okay, I'll head back now.
[10:05] Sariphi
Thank you for the diary.
[10:07] Ocelot
You should just wait here until
the council reaches a decision.
[10:10] Anastasia
You're so insensitive.
[10:13] Anastasia
She has her own life to worry about.
[10:16] Ocelot
Ow.
[10:17] Sariphi
Yes, I'm just dying to go back.
[10:21] Sariphi
Hey, Asya.
[10:23] Anastasia
Yes?
[10:24] Sariphi
I want to ask you something,
but promise you won't get mad.
[10:28] Anastasia
I probably will, but let's hear it anyway.
[10:34] Sariphi
What made you start studying beast script?
[10:40] Sariphi
You've suffered a lot because of beasts,
[10:43] Sariphi
so why did you choose to
get involved with them?
[10:47] Anastasia
No real reason.
[10:49] Anastasia
I just wanted to make sure of who I was.
[10:55] Anastasia
But I don't care about that anymore.
[10:57] Sariphi
Huh?
[10:58] Anastasia
I mean, no matter who I am,
[11:02] Anastasia
that idiot won't change one bit.
[11:06] Sariphi
You have a point.
[11:09] Sariphi
No matter who you were born as,
[11:13] Sariphi
having someone who accepts you
[11:16] Sariphi
should be all you need to live on and smile.
[11:23] Sariphi
Leo,
[11:25] Sariphi
I want you to feel the same someday.
[11:29] Sariphi
You always look a little
nervous and lonely somehow.
[11:34] Sariphi
But eventually...
[11:37] Bennu
Man, it looks like this'll actually work out!
[11:41] Bennu
Way to go, girlie!
[11:43] Sariphi
Yes, but...
[11:45] Sariphi
The big picture of history
is important, of course,
[11:48] Sariphi
but so is this.
[11:51] Sariphi
If I can decipher this diary,
[11:54] Sariphi
I might be able to discover
His Majesty's unknown roots.
[11:57] Sariphi
Or maybe even his own—
[12:01] Bennu
We're almost there, girlie!
[12:05] Ozmargan Soldier
A message from the border guard!
[12:08] Ozmargan Soldier
The acting queen consort
has returned from Yoana!
[12:19] Bennu
There!
[12:20] Bennu
Package delivered!
[12:22] Sariphi
I'm home, Your Majesty!
[12:33] Sariphi
I'm so sorry I'm late.
[12:36] Sariphi
Did I worry you to death?
[12:38] Leonhart
Yes.
[12:43] Sariphi
Sire?
[12:45] Anubis
Welcome home.
[12:46] Anubis
I am delighted to see you safe,
[12:48] Anubis
Lady Sariphi.
[12:50] Sariphi
Mr. Chancellor.
[12:52] Anubis
Loath as I am to rush you
so soon after your return,
[12:54] Anubis
the royal council shall immediately convene.
[12:57] Sariphi
The council?
[12:59] Sariphi
Then I'll be in my room.
[13:01] Anubis
No.
[13:02] Anubis
Although I realize that you must be fatigued,
[13:05] Anubis
I humbly request you to attend, Lady Sariphi.
[13:09] Speaker A
So they will gauge each nation's
opinion at a global council,
[13:15] Speaker A
and they reserve their formal
response until it concludes?
[13:18] Sariphi
Yes.
[13:19] Speaker B
That's only natural.
This was all too sudden.
[13:22] Speaker B
Abolishing the system of
sacrifices benefits Yoana,
[13:27] Speaker B
but when it comes to total peace, who can say?
[13:30] Sariphi
I'm dying to tell His Majesty about so much.
[13:35] Sariphi
But I haven't read that diary yet,
[13:38] Sariphi
so maybe I should wait until
I know something definite.
[13:41] Sariphi
Still...
[13:43] Sariphi
Is it my imagination, or does
he seem different somehow?
[13:48] Anubis
These negotiations to abolish sacrifices
and normalize relations with Yoana,
[13:55] Anubis
as well as the acting queen
consort's role in them,
[13:59] Anubis
shall be proclaimed publicly
in the near future.
[14:03] Anubis
Does that please you, sire?
[14:04] Sariphi
Huh?
[14:05] Leonhart
Yes. You may proceed.
[14:08] Sariphi
Wait.
[14:10] Sariphi
Sire, I—
[14:12] Anubis
If we continue to negotiate with Yoana,
it will become known eventually.
[14:18] Anubis
And if our relations with Yoana
improve and the people accept that,
[14:24] Anubis
you will certainly deserve
credit for your achievements.
[14:28] Anubis
So, should that happen,
[14:31] Anubis
Lady Sariphi, I will recognize
you as our lawful queen-to-be.
[14:38] Amit
What?!
[14:39] Amit
A-At last, Lady Sariphi will be...
[14:41] Cy; Clops
She'll be queen for real?!
[14:44] Lanteveldt
Don't get ahead of yourselves, okay?
[14:47] Lanteveldt
That's only if she passes this last test.
[14:50] Amit
And that test is successfully negotiating
peace with Yoana, I presume?
[14:56] Lanteveldt
You presume right.
[14:57] Lanteveldt
She can't avoid this problem if she
wants to be queen, of course,
[15:01] Lanteveldt
but something about this
doesn't sit right with me.
[15:05] Amit
What do you mean?
[15:06] Lanteveldt
This is the chancellor's idea, as usual,
[15:11] Lanteveldt
but I doubt that guy would
ever accept Sariphi.
[15:14] Lanteveldt
So would he really set this condition?
[15:19] Lanteveldt
I mean, it's definitely not easy,
but it is possible.
[15:24] Lanteveldt
Maybe he plans to invalidate it on a
technicality again, whatever happens.
[15:29] Cy; Clops
What?!
[15:30] Amit
B-But Lady Sariphi has worked
so hard all this time.
[15:35] Amit
The chancellor is severe in his speech,
[15:39] Amit
but perhaps he has already
accepted her in his heart.
[15:43] Clops
He would never.
[15:43] Cy
Never.
[15:44] Lanteveldt
No way.
[15:46] Lanteveldt
And I feel like something
stinks in the palace lately.
[15:53] Lanteveldt
Something fishy.
[15:57] Lanteveldt
I just hope I'm worried for nothing.
[16:02] Anubis
All of the messenger beasts
dispatched throughout Ozmargo
[16:05] Anubis
have returned to the palace
as of this morning.
[16:09] Anubis
Nearly the entire realm should now
be aware of tomorrow's proclamation.
[16:15] Anubis
The ruling classes of each land
now know what to expect.
[16:19] Anubis
A date for the council
has not yet been fixed,
[16:23] Anubis
but I would advise convening it
not too long after the proclamation.
[16:29] Anubis
Sire?
[16:30] Sariphi
Oh, sire!
[16:33] Sariphi
Do you have a minute?
[16:34] Sariphi
Listen, I want you to
take me away right now!
[16:38] Sariphi
I'm so bored!
[16:40] Sariphi
I want to go out!
It doesn't even matter where!
[16:42] Sariphi
Pretty please?!
[16:45] Sariphi
Can't we?
[16:47] Anubis
Lady Sariphi, His Majesty must
prepare for tomorrow's—
[16:50] Leonhart
Very well.
[16:52] Anubis
Sire!
[16:53] Leonhart
With regard to the preparations,
I've done all that I can.
[16:57] Leonhart
I won't be long.
[16:59] Leonhart
See to whatever remains.
[17:02] Senator C
The nerve of that girl.
[17:08] Sariphi
Sorry, sire. I know that was selfish of me.
[17:10] Leonhart
No matter. You said that to bring me outside
[17:16] Leonhart
without the others guessing your motive.
[17:19] Sariphi
You knew?
[17:21] Leonhart
But your timing was perfect.
[17:23] Leonhart
I had been hoping to speak with you
outside of the palace, as well.
[17:30] Sariphi
So something is worrying you, then?
[17:33] Sariphi
You haven't seemed like yourself in a while.
[17:40] Sariphi
What's wrong?
[17:41] Leonhart
Since we're already outside,
[17:43] Leonhart
we might as well take a detour.
[17:48] Sariphi
A detour? Into this pitch-dark place?
[17:52] Leonhart
I thought it might seem so to human eyes.
[17:56] Sariphi
What's down here?
[17:59] Leonhart
Look around you.
[18:23] Sariphi
Wow!
[18:25] Sariphi
The whole ceiling is glowing!
And the walls, too!
[18:29] Sariphi
But how?
[18:31] Leonhart
The minerals found in this cave
shine in the presence of magic.
[18:37] Leonhart
But a certain degree of power is required
to produce such a visible reaction.
[18:45] Leonhart
The mere act of lighting up these stones
[18:48] Leonhart
was once a sign of might among beasts.
[18:53] Sariphi
Amazing. It's like a starry sky.
[18:58] Leonhart
Stars? I see.
[19:01] Leonhart
I considered this light merely a sign
of magic, but you see it differently.
[19:07] Leonhart
In this land, stars only shine
on nights of revelation.
[19:11] Leonhart
I can never behold it.
[19:14] Leonhart
Even on my sole visit to
Yoana to retrieve you,
[19:19] Leonhart
I was too preoccupied with concealing
myself to look up at the sky.
[19:26] Leonhart
Such sights are too far beyond my ken.
[19:30] Sariphi
One day, when we make peace with Yoana...
[19:34] Sariphi
When you can appear openly in any form,
[19:39] Sariphi
I know you'll be able to see them.
[19:42] Sariphi
When that happens, let's go gaze
at a real starry sky together.
[19:47] Leonhart
Yes.
[19:50] Leonhart
Tomorrow's proclamation may
prove a critical moment for me.
[19:55] Sariphi
Because getting people to
accept peace won't be easy?
[20:00] Leonhart
That's part of it.
[20:02] Leonhart
But this is a wall that I must overcome
for our—no, for my own sake.
[20:09] Leonhart
Whatever happens, I cannot back down.
[20:14] Sariphi
Okay.
[20:15] Sariphi
I'm sure they'll understand
how you feel, sire.
[20:23] Sariphi
I promise you'll be fine.
[20:25] Sariphi
No matter what happens,
I'll always be with you.
[20:40] Jormungand
Unsurprisingly, the people's
eyes are on this proclamation.
[20:44] Jormungand
I suppose this calls for
greater-than-usual caution.
[20:48] Jormungand
Although the people may not be
the only ones I need to be wary of.
[20:55] (Flashback) Set
I will disappear briefly during the event.
[20:59] (Flashback) Set
But please, pay that no mind.
[21:02] (Flashback) Set
I have no designs against the king.
[21:06] (Flashback) Set
Not against the king.
[21:10] Anubis
It is time, sire. You should go.
[21:14] Leonhart
Yes.
[21:18] Sariphi
I promise you'll be fine.
[21:20] Sariphi
No matter what happens,
I'll always be with you.
[21:34] Leonhart
My kingdom is about to choose a new future.
[21:39] Leonhart
One in which we join hands with our
near-yet-distant neighbor, Yoana.
[21:45] Subject A
What? He can't be serious.
[21:48] Subject B
Are the rumors of a human queen true, then?!
[21:53] Leonhart
I have already sent an envoy to Yoana
[21:56] Leonhart
to smooth the way for talks
to normalize relations.
[22:02] Leonhart
All so that we can make true peace,
not this truce in name only.
[22:08] Leonhart
And our emissary who strives
to bridge this gap is—
[22:15] Leonhart
Wh-What is this?
[22:18] Leonhart
Our emissary... is...
[22:20] Leonhart
Why now, of all times?!
[22:24] Leonhart
our new... future que...
[22:30] Sariphi
Sire?
[22:52] Subject C
Wh-What the?! Look at the sky!
[22:54] Subject D
What's going on?!
[22:56] Subject E
What's that?!
[23:08] Set
You should know the truth
about the absolute monarch
[23:19] Set**
to whom you pledged everything.
[23:25] Anubis
What did I just see?
[23:27] Anubis
The miasma suddenly cleared,
and His Majesty became human.
[23:31] Anubis
But that's absurd!
[23:33] Anubis
It's Set. This must be his scheme.
[23:36] Anubis
The king—my king—could not
possibly have human blood!

[00:56] Anubis
Damn you! What have you
done to His Majesty?!
[00:59] Set
Me? Nothing.
[01:01] Anubis
Lies! This must have been your scheme!
[01:06] Anubis
You visited the forbidden archive to learn
sinister magics from sealed tomes.
[01:13] Anubis
And you used them to trap
His Majesty in that form!
[01:18] Set
I always knew you had a keen mind.
[01:21] Set
However, your reasoning falls a step short.
[01:23] Anubis
What?!
[01:24] Set
I admit that I employed forbidden arts,
but I've done nothing to the king.
[01:30] Set
All I did was temporarily dispel
the miasma that covers this land,
[01:36] Set
recreating the conditions
of a night of revelation.
[01:41] Set
I shouldn't need to remind you
that on every night of revelation,
[01:44] Set
the king hides himself away for some reason.
[01:48] Set
Do you see why that it is now?
[01:52] Anubis
How da—
[01:53] Set
That is what I sought to discover.
[01:57] Set
A royal secret so great that the king
needed to hide it at all costs.
[02:02] Anubis
Impossible!
[02:04] Anubis
You expect me to believe that...
that is His Majesty's true form?!
[02:12] Set
Exactly. You've witnessed the
evidence with your own eyes.
[02:18] Set
This is the indisputable truth.
[02:23] Clops
Hey, you! What'd you throw Cy at Sari for?!
[02:27] Lanteveldt
Moron.
[02:28] Lanteveldt
We're gonna follow Sariphi and the king.
[02:30] Lanteveldt
Your link to Blob No. 1 will let us...
[02:33] Lanteveldt
Wh-What do you guys want?!
[02:35] Jormungand
What are you doing?!
[02:37] Jormungand
This emergency is no time for infighting!
[02:40] Jormungand
Hurry down to the square
and pacify the people!
[02:43] Guard A
We're acting on orders from Justice Set.
[02:46] Jormungand
Set?
[02:47] Set
Silence!
[02:51] Set
I am Justice Set.
[02:53] Set
Due to these unforeseen circumstances,
I hereby declare a state of emergency,
[02:58] Set
during which I will serve as acting king.
[03:03] Jormungand
Set is taking the king's place?!
[03:06] Jormungand
What's going on here, Abi?!
[03:09] Set
There is a reason that Chancellor
Anubis, who stands with me,
[03:13] Set
selected me to carry out this great duty.
[03:16] Set
Namely, that I alone have an accurate
understanding of our present situation.
[03:23] Set
The shocking sight that you just
witnessed was indeed our king.
[03:30] Set
You saw the other bloodline
in His Majesty's veins.
[03:35] Set
Beast and human blood never mix.
They remain two separate halves.
[03:41] Set
And when the miasma clears,
the king's magic weakens greatly,
[03:47] Set
and he becomes unable to
maintain his beastly form.
[03:51] Amit
His Majesty is part human?
[03:54] Set
But the greatest issue is that
no record or trace attests
[04:00] Set
to a liaison between our
previous king and any human.
[04:04] Amit
What?
[04:05] Set
And the same is true of our previous queen.
[04:08] Set
In other words, the person we called
our king has no true royal blood.
[04:14] Set
He is a fake, plain and simple!
[04:18] Clops
What? That's a lie!
[04:22] Set
Even more chilling, he sought
to take a human consort
[04:27] Set
and usurp the realm of
beasts with human blood.
[04:32] Set
That is not our king.
[04:34] Set
He is an enemy to beastkind!
[04:38] Set
Now, allow me to issue my
first order as acting king.
[04:43] Set
Seize the villain who posed
as our king this instant,
[04:47] Set
along with the human girl
who abetted his escape!
[04:55] Sariphi
This is the cave you took me to yesterday.
[04:57] Sariphi
I'm sure we'll be safe here.
[05:01] Sariphi
They saw. Everyone saw His Majesty's secret.
[05:06] Sariphi
What now? What should we do?
[05:13] Sariphi
No.
[05:14] Sariphi
I don't know why this happened
or what to do about it,
[05:19] Sariphi
but His Majesty is more scared
and uncertain than anyone.
[05:22] Sariphi
I need to keep it together!
[05:26] Sariphi
I'll take a look outside.
Let me borrow your cloak, okay?
[05:33] Sariphi
The sky is still clear.
[05:36] Bennu
I doubt there's anything
natural about this, girlie.
[05:39] Sariphi
Huh?
[05:40] Bennu
It's a spell or something.
An artificial force at work.
[05:44] Sariphi
You mean... someone did this

[06:00] Sariphi
But if they find out I'm human...
[06:04] Sorting Squad Member A
Get in line! You go over here!
[06:07] El
Mommy!
[06:08] Mal
Dear!
[06:09] Sorting Squad Member B
Is this Amphibian your child?
[06:11] Mal
Yes. My husband is Amphibian.
[06:13] Subject E
Why are you dividing everyone up?
[06:16] Sorting Squad Captain
Listen well! We are a sorting squad!
[06:19] Sorting Squad Captain
We shall divide this town's species in
accordance with the new class system.
[06:24] Sorting Squad Captain
Mammalians are now first-class subjects.
[06:28] Sorting Squad Captain
All others will be stripped
of their right to reside here!
[06:30] Subject F
A "sorting squad"?
[06:32] Subject G
Are you telling us to get out of town?!
[06:34] Sorting Squad Captain
This is the acting king's decree!
[06:38] Sorting Squad Captain
We shall rectify the recent policy of
equality and institute clear distinctions!
[06:42] Sorting Squad Captain
This is the new order.
[06:45] Subject H
That's ridiculous!
[06:47] Subject H
The current king finally made things livable.
[06:51] Sorting Squad Captain
That was a deception!
[06:53] Sorting Squad Captain
The king preached equality
to mask his own mixed blood.
[06:58] Sorting Squad Captain
It was all a plot by the human king.
[07:01] Sorting Squad Captain
To praise the current state of
things is to support human rule!
[07:05] Subject E
But why separate us into different classes?
[07:07] Subject I
Can we side with the human king, then?
[07:10] Subject I
That way, we can just go
on with our lives, right?

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!
[07:15] Subject G
As long as you're happy,
nothing else matters?!
[07:18] Sorting Squad Captain
Henceforth, all contact between
species is prohibited!
[07:21] Sorting Squad Captain
Now, get out!

Give back my baby!
[07:25] El

[07:28] Sorting Squad Member B
Don't touch me, lower-class scum!

Lante!
[08:09] Lanteveldt
Sorry I'm late.
[08:13] Sorting Squad Member A
How dare you?!
[08:18] Lanteveldt
As if those goons stood a chance against me.
[08:21] Lanteveldt
I got special training from the captain
of the Royal Guard himself.
[08:25] Clops
Cy! Sari!
[08:27] Sariphi
Thank you, Lante.
[08:29] Lanteveldt
Sorry I took so long.
[08:30] Mal
Dear!
[08:32] Lanteveldt
Hey, is that any way to act
after Sariphi saved your—
[08:36] Sariphi
It's all right.
[08:37] Crowd
What? I thought help had arrived,
but he's working with the human.
[08:41] Crowd
What do you expect from a Hyenian?
[08:43] Lanteveldt
Let's move, Sariphi. We don't
want to overstay our welcome.
[08:46] Sariphi
Right.
[08:57] Sariphi
Then the "acting king" is...
[08:59] Lanteveldt
Yup. That forgettable judge, Set,
sent those guys you saw in town.
[09:04] Sariphi
Oh, no.
[09:06] Lanteveldt
He might've been setting this up for a while.
[09:09] Lanteveldt
It all seems too convenient, you know?
[09:11] Lanteveldt
Like everything's playing out
according to his script.
[09:15] Sariphi
Then maybe he did this to the sky, too.
[09:18] Sariphi
Bennu said that someone is deliberately
invoking magical power.
[09:22] Sariphi
And if they're using it to
keep the sky clear, then...
[09:25] Lanteveldt
You might be right.
[09:27] Lanteveldt
If he figured out the king's secret
and engineered this situation,
[09:33] Lanteveldt
then I can see where his
crazy speeches came from.
[09:38] Sariphi
What did he say?
[09:39] Lanteveldt
That the king doesn't have royal blood,
but Set is the last king's kid,
[09:45] Lanteveldt
so he's the only real heir to the throne.
[09:50] Jormungand
"Heir to the throne"?!
[09:52] Jormungand
How is your blood royal?!
[09:54] Set
Records testify that it is.
[09:56] Set
I was born to our late king
and one of his concubines.
[10:01] Set
It was merely kept hidden because,
in a rare exception to the norm,
[10:04] Set
I take after my mother
rather than the royal line.
[10:09] Priest
There can be no doubt.
[10:11] Priest
The signature of the archpriest
of that time is genuine.
[10:14] Jormungand
So at present, only you have royal blood,
and that means you should rule?
[10:22] Set
I'm delighted that you understand.
[10:25] Set
I didn't expect you to be so open-minded.
[10:29] Jormungand
Abi, is that why you're standing there?
[10:33] Jormungand
Is Set the king you serve?
[10:36] Jormungand
Answer me!
[10:37] Anubis
My stance is the same as it has always been.
[10:39] Anubis
I am Anubis.
[10:41] Anubis
I serve the true king.
[10:48] Jormungand
I see.
[10:49] Jormungand
If that's how you do things,
then I'll take a different path.
[10:54] Jormungand
He is my one and only king!
[10:56] Jormungand
I will defend his life!
[11:01] Set
So you chose his side after all.
[11:05] Set
Well, I planned for this.
[11:08] Set
He is a rebel. Seize him.
[11:11] Sariphi
I can't believe all that happened
while we were on the run.
[11:16] Lanteveldt
If that guy does become king,
it'll mean civil war in Ozmargo for sure.
[11:21] Lanteveldt
Set's a serious supremacist.
[11:25] Sariphi
And... And what do you think, Lante?
[11:27] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[11:28] Sariphi
About His Majesty.
[11:30] Lanteveldt
Nothing much.
[11:32] Lanteveldt
I mean, I was surprised, but I honestly
don't see it as too big a deal.
[11:37] Lanteveldt
You're the one I serve, Sariphi.
[11:40] Lanteveldt
So the guy you picked is my king. Simple as.
[11:44] Clops
W-We feel the same way!
[11:46] Clops
We'll go with you and the king, Sari!
[11:49] Cy
S-Scary but nice.
[11:51] Cy
Cy, Clops... like the king!
[11:55] Sariphi
Thank you, Lante, Cy, Clops.
[12:01] Sariphi
Sire, there are people out there who will
stay with you, no matter who you are.
[12:10] Sariphi
We can't keep hiding like this forever.
[12:14] Sariphi
The only one who can stop a beast civil war
[12:17] Sariphi
is His Majesty.
[12:19] Sariphi
We need to get him back on his feet.
[12:23] Sariphi
But to do that, I need to
make sure of something:
[12:27] Sariphi
His Majesty's true roots!
[12:32] Lanteveldt
You want clues to where the
king really comes from?
[12:35] Lanteveldt
Can you really find that in the palace?
[12:38] Sariphi
They're hidden somewhere only I know about.
[12:41] Sariphi
And because it's so personal to His Majesty,
[12:44] Sariphi
it wouldn't be right to
investigate without him.
[12:48] Lanteveldt
So we'll have to talk him into it, huh?
[12:53] Sariphi
All of you, wait here.
[13:02] Sariphi
Sire, listen.
[13:07] Sariphi
You see,
[13:08] Sariphi
that Set person is trying to become king
and divide all the species into classes.
[13:15] Sariphi
If this keeps up, beasts will
end up fighting each other.
[13:18] Sariphi
Leo, I believe that you're the
only one who can change all this.
[13:25] Sariphi
If you discover your roots and rise again,
[13:29] Sariphi
I know that there are people
who will accept you.
[13:31] Sariphi
So...
[13:33] Leonhart
What do bloodlines matter now?
[13:37] Leonhart
They've seen me in this form.
[13:40] Leonhart
I can't protect my people anymore.
I can't even protect you.
[13:45] Leonhart
This realm no longer has a place for me.
[13:50] Leonhart
Sariphi,
[13:52] Leonhart
come with me to Yoana.
[13:57] Jailer
It looks like your military exploits end here,
[14:00] Jailer
Captain Jormungand.
[14:03] Jailer
A Reptilian like you could never have
led the Royal Guard under the last king.
[14:10] Jailer
And it'll be the same from now—
[14:13] Jormungand
Princess Amit?!
[14:14] Amit
I... I'll unlock the door.
[14:18] Amit
Please hurry.
[14:20] Jormungand
Why would you do this?
[14:22] Amit
Y-You're going to seek out
His Majesty, aren't you?
[14:25] Amit
Please, um, take me with you!
[14:29] Jormungand
I cannot.
[14:31] Jormungand
How could I expose you to danger by...
[14:33] Amit
Lady Sariphi will be with him!
[14:35] Amit
And as far as I'm concerned,
His Majesty is the only king.
[14:40] Amit
I'll do my best to avoid slowing you down.
[14:42] Amit
So please!
[14:44] Jailer B
Escapees!
[14:46] Jailer C
Catch them!
[14:50] Jormungand
Don't leave my side.
[14:52] Jormungand
I swear that I will protect you.
[14:55] Amit
O-Of course!
[14:58] Amit
Sire, Lady Sariphi,
[15:00] Amit
please be safe!
[15:03] Sariphi
Just the two of us?
[15:07] Leonhart
In Yoana—in the human realm—
I can live without hiding myself.
[15:13] Leonhart
And you won't face prejudice for your race.
[15:18] Leonhart
Let's live quietly in human lands.
[15:22] Sariphi
Leo... Is that really what you want?
[15:26] Leonhart
You're all I need.
[15:29] Leonhart
As long as I have you, then...
[15:40] Sariphi
No. You're lying.
[15:44] Sariphi
If you abandon the Ozmargo
you've done so much to protect,
[15:48] Sariphi
can you really be sure
that you won't regret it?
[15:51] Sariphi
If you forget this country's people—
everyone who stayed with you—
[15:57] Sariphi
will you ever be able
to smile from the heart?
[16:00] Sariphi
Of course not.
[16:02] Sariphi
I'll go where you go, Leo.
[16:06] Sariphi
We'll be together, no matter what!
[16:08] Sariphi
So please, at least don't lie to yourself.
[16:12] Sariphi
Don't make me your reason for running away!
[16:21] Leonhart
Forgive me, Sariphi. It's as you say.
[16:26] Leonhart
I was about to make another mistake.
[16:29] Sariphi
"Another" one?
[16:33] Leonhart
Although a beast, I have human blood.
[16:36] Leonhart
Although a king, I have a cowardly heart.
[16:40] Leonhart
I've kept averting my eyes from myself.
From my contradictions.
[16:46] Leonhart
My own divisions led to
divisions in my kingdom.
[16:51] Leonhart
For that, I will take responsibility.
[16:54] Leonhart
I'm done running from myself!
[16:56] Sariphi
Leo...
[17:07] Sariphi
Are you scared?
[17:08] Leonhart
Yes, I am.
[17:10] Leonhart
Both to appear publicly in this form
and to learn where I come from.
[17:16] Leonhart
But I'll be all right.
[17:22] Leonhart
As long as you're with me,
[17:25] Leonhart
I have nothing to fear.
[17:28] Amit
Oh! I hope Lady Sariphi isn't hurt!
[17:33] Jormungand
They must be hiding
themselves from pursuers,
[17:36] Jormungand
so they may not be easy
for us to find, either.
[17:40] Amit
Captain Jormungand...
[17:42] Jormungand
You truly care for your friends,
Princess Amit.
[17:46] Amit
H-Hardly.
[17:49] Amit
I don't worry about her
because she's my friend.
[17:52] Amit
I'm her friend because I worry about her.
[17:57] Jormungand
I suppose so. I'm the same way.
[18:00] Amit
Huh?
[18:01] Jormungand
In my youth, I dreamed only
of joining the royal army.
[18:07] Jormungand
But anti-Reptilian prejudice was strong,
[18:10] Jormungand
and I was never chosen,
no matter how many contests I won.
[18:13] Jormungand
But then, one day...
[18:16] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
How many talents like yours have
been snuffed out due to speciesism?
[18:22] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Just you wait. One day,
I'll change this kingdom.
[18:26] (Flashback) Young Leonhart
Keep your faith in your sword until I do.
[18:30] Jormungand
His Majesty was as good as his word.
[18:33] Jormungand
And now, here I am.
[18:36] Jormungand
I don't serve him because he's my king.
[18:39] Jormungand
He's my king because I want to serve him.
[18:43] Jormungand
Forgive me for going on about myself.
[18:46] Amit
N-No, don't apologize!
[18:48] Amit
I'm always happy to hear about you, Captain.
[18:52] Amit
Oh?
[18:53] Amit
Where did these petals come from?
[18:55] Amit
And they haven't withered yet.
[18:58] Amit
Perhaps someone upwind
is telling their fortune.
[19:03] Amit
Oh, merely something
Lady Sariphi and I tried.
[19:06] (Flashback) Sariphi
Wow! Your flowers grew so beautiful, Amit.
[19:10] (Flashback) Amit
They only last one night in Ozmargo,
[19:14] (Flashback) Amit
but in Murga, it's said that fortunes told
with these flowers often come true.
[19:19] (Flashback) Sariphi
Really?
[19:20] (Flashback) Sariphi
Will you tell your future with Jormungand?
[19:23] (Flashback) Amit
I... I couldn't possibly!
[19:26] Amit
I can hardly tell him about that*!
[19:29] Amit
Or rather, Lady Sariphi and
I used these flowers to—
[19:33] Amit
Could it be?!
[19:35] Lanteveldt
What're you up to, Sariphi?
[19:37] Lanteveldt
We need to gather up firewood to make camp.
[19:40] Sariphi
I know, but Amit told me that fortunes
told with this flower often come true.
[19:48] Lanteveldt
Pursuers?!
[19:49] Lanteveldt
Get back!
[19:53] Jormungand
Lante?
[19:54] Lanteveldt
Captain!
[19:56] Sariphi
Huh?
[19:56] Sariphi
Oh!
[19:57] Amit
Lady Sariphi! You're not hurt, are you?!
[19:59] Sariphi
Amit!
[20:01] Sariphi
I'm so sorry for worrying you!
[20:04] Lanteveldt
I can't believe you found us here.
[20:06] Jormungand
Yes.
[20:08] Jormungand
I suppose I should credit
that to their friendship.
[20:13] Jormungand
By the way, since you're here,
does that mean...
[20:28] Jormungand
Forgive my lateness.
[20:30] Jormungand
Jormungand, captain of the Royal Guard
of Ozmargo, at Your Majesty's service.
[20:36] Leonhart
Welcome, Jormungand.
[20:40] Jormungand
So, you plan to storm the palace to read
a diary that you retrieved from Yoana?
[20:47] Jormungand
Then I will lead the charge.
[20:49] Jormungand
Set doesn't have the palace
entirely under his thumb yet.
[20:54] Jormungand
We are certain to find allies.
[20:56] Lanteveldt
Y'know, this'd all be easy if
the sky went back to normal.
[21:01] Lanteveldt
Once the king changes back,
Set won't stand a chance against him.
[21:05] Leonhart
That wouldn't do.
[21:07] Leonhart
For once, force isn't the
answer to this problem.
[21:12] Leonhart
It won't mean anything unless I convince
the people to freely accept me as king.
[21:18] Leonhart
And if uncovering my roots reveals
that I truly don't have royal blood,
[21:24] Leonhart
I will depart this realm.
[21:27] Jormungand
If it comes to that, I will accompany you.
[21:31] Jormungand
I would follow you anywhere.
[21:35] Leonhart
Jormungand and I will storm the palace.
[21:39] Leonhart
Once I show myself, all eyes will be on me.
[21:43] Lanteveldt
And that's when I'll swipe the diary, right?
[21:47] Sariphi
And me.
[21:49] Sariphi
I'll go with Lante. I'm the only one
who knows where the diary's hidden.
[21:54] Amit
L-Lady Sariphi, that's dangerous!
You should stay with me.
[21:59] Sariphi
Don't worry. I'll have Lante with me.
[22:02] Sariphi
So...
[22:08] Leonhart
Very well.
[22:13] Leonhart
I'll leave the diary to you.
[22:17] Sariphi
Right!
[22:19] Leonhart
Take good care of Sariphi, Lante.
[22:21] Lanteveldt
I swear it on my honor as captain
of the acting queen's guard.
[22:31] Amit
D-Do be careful!
[22:34] Leonhart
It's time we left, too.
[22:36] Jormungand
Yes, sire!
[22:39] Jormungand
Your Highness, please hide yourself.
[22:41] Jormungand
I am sorry that I cannot remain to guard you.
[22:44] Amit
Don't be. Take care!
[22:50] Amit
So praying for everyone's safety*
like this is still all I can do.
[22:58] Jormungand
Forgive me, my comrade.
[23:02] Jormungand
Here, sire.
[23:09] Vassal
Lord Set! It's an emergency!
[23:12] Set
I understand.
[23:14] Set
Why has he come to me?
[23:17] Leonhart
Open the gates!
[23:19] Leonhart
The king of Ozmargo has returned!
[23:25] Leonhart
I won't be afraid anymore.
[23:27] Leonhart
Not of this form, not of my blood,
and especially not of my weak heart.
[23:32] Leonhart
I will fight.
[23:33] Leonhart
For the people of this realm,
for my irreplaceable friends,

The king of Ozmargo has returned!
[00:04] Vassal
Lord Set! It's an emergency!
[00:07] Set
I understand.
[00:09] Set
Open the gates and summon the guard at once.
[00:13] Set
Why has he come to me himself?
[00:16] Set
Can he be aware of that
creature's existence?
[00:16] Guards
It's the human king!

To the gates!

Acting king's orders!
[00:25] Sariphi
Do you think it's started?
[00:27] Lanteveldt
Any moment now.
[00:28] Lanteveldt
Let's hurry up and grab that diary...
[00:30] Lanteveldt
Sariphi?
[00:32] Sariphi
Don't you feel it?
[00:33] Sariphi
There's something near here.
[00:35] Sariphi
Almost like someone is calling out.
[00:38] Lanteveldt
Hey... Wait up!
[00:49] Lanteveldt
Wh-What is this thing?
SIGN The Archpriest and the Truth About the King
[01:00] Lanteveldt
An animal?
[01:01] Sariphi
It's badly hurt.
[01:03] Lanteveldt
Whoa, Sariphi! Don't just walk up to it!
[01:07] Lanteveldt
I've never seen a monster like that in...
[01:09] Sariphi
This person is no monster.
[01:12] Lanteveldt
"Person"?
[01:14] Lanteveldt
You don't mean this thing's a beast, do you?
[01:16] Sariphi
Hey, Bennu, could you cure
their wounds for me?
[01:21] Bennu
Oh, all right. I'll just—
[01:24] Bennu
Huh?
[01:25] Bennu
Sorry, girlie, but I can't
help you with this guy.
[01:31] Lanteveldt
What'd the holy beast say?
[01:33] Sariphi
Bennu says that his healing won't work...
[01:36] Sariphi
because they're no longer alive.
[01:39] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[01:40] Capel
Human girl.
[01:43] Capel
Why do you possess the king's magic?
[01:46] Sariphi
Was that your voice just now?
[01:49] Sariphi
The king's magic?
[01:55] Capel
I see.
[01:56] Capel
His Majesty has chosen you, then.
[02:00] Sariphi
Who are you?
[02:04] Lanteveldt
Why're you talking to yourself, Sariphi?
[02:07] Sariphi
Can't you hear him, Lante?
[02:09] Capel
As you can see, uttering words is beyond me.
[02:13] Capel
I am speaking directly to your mind.
[02:17] Capel
I am the former archpriest, Capel.
[02:21] Capel
As a hideous, silent demon,
[02:25] Capel
I have guarded the king's secret for a century.
[02:29] Sariphi
The archpriest...
[02:30] Lanteveldt
Archpriest?! Hang on!
[02:34] Lanteveldt
That's the second most
powerful guy in Ozmargo!
[02:37] Lanteveldt
He disappeared during the last king's reign,
and they never replaced him.
[02:41] Lanteveldt
But then...
[02:42] Sariphi
How did someone like you
end up in this form?
[02:46] Capel
I know a great secret
concerning the king's birth.
[02:51] Capel
And so that I might never
unwittingly reveal it,
[02:55] Capel
I ensorcelled myself and went into hiding.
[02:59] Capel
But then a judge named Set discovered me.
[03:03] Sariphi
Then Set gave you these wounds?! How awful!
[03:06] Sariphi
Wait a second. I'll help you.
[03:08] Capel
There is no more need.
[03:11] Capel
Give me your hand.
[03:15] Capel
To save the king, I shall entrust
you with the secret of his birth,
[03:21] Capel
which I have guarded since
His Late Majesty's reign.
[03:28] Soldier A
Forgive me!
[03:31] Jormungand
Are you hurt?!
[03:32] Leonhart
I must apologize. As I feared,
my human form is no match for beasts.
[03:38] Jormungand
Leave the rest to me, sire.
Take time to recuperate.
[03:42] Leonhart
No.
[03:43] Leonhart
Stopping Set's rampage is my duty.
[03:47] Leonhart
I'll fight my way to him!
[03:48] Jormungand
Yes, sire!
[03:49] Set
No need for that.
[03:52] Set
I'm amazed that you returned.
[03:55] Set
But I will thank you to refrain
from further violence in my palace,
[04:00] Set
false king.
[04:03] Leonhart
Set!
[04:05] Capel
In His Late Majesty's time,
[04:07] Capel
the queen, who had always been sickly,
quietly passed away.
[04:13] Capel
The late king's disappointment
was immeasurable.
[04:17] Capel
Because at that time, the royal
couple had yet to produce an heir.
[04:24] (Flashback) Former King
Archpriest Capel.
[04:26] (Flashback) Former King
Keep this matter private for the time being.
[04:29] (Flashback) Former King
Only you and I know of it.
[04:32] (Flashback) Capel
Meaning, sire?
[04:34] (Flashback) Former King
Find him with all haste,
and bring him back to this realm.
[04:39] (Flashback) Former King
He is the only one with whom I share blood.
[04:42] (Flashback) Capel
You mean to turn to His Highness,
your exiled younger brother, for an heir?!
[04:48] Sariphi
The last king had a brother?
[04:50] Sariphi
And he was exiled?
[04:52] Capel
When twin boys are born
into the royal house,
[04:56] Capel
only the more promising is raised—
a custom known as the "lion's drop."
[05:01] Capel
The younger brother was driven
from the palace soon after birth.
[05:05] Capel
And again, only the late king
and I are aware of that fact.
[05:11] Capel
I soon tracked him down and
made a startling discovery.
[05:18] Capel
In the midst of a recent battle with humans,
[05:23] Capel
His Highness had secretly fled
to Yoana and sired a child there.
[05:29] Sariphi
Then... that child is...
[05:31] Capel
Yes.
[05:32] Capel
The current king of Ozmargo.
[05:36] Capel
The late king's brother
had already passed away.
[05:39] Capel
With no other choice, I took the babe
from its mother before it opened its eyes,
[05:44] Capel
and I returned to this realm.
[05:46] Capel
The child was revealed alongside
news of the queen's death,
[05:51] Capel
and the people greeted him as the son
she had given her life to birth.
[05:57] Capel
But the late king was never able to accept
that his heir was a human's son.
[06:05] Capel
Eventually, his mind took ill,
and he, too, passed away.
[06:10] Capel
That is the truth of the
king's birth as I know it.
[06:16] Sariphi
Then...
[06:17] Sariphi
His Majesty is a human's child,
but he really is royalty, too.
[06:23] Sariphi
And you've kept that huge secret all alone.
[06:28] Sariphi
Thank you.
[06:29] Sariphi
I promise that I'll tell him
what you entrusted to me.
[06:42] Lanteveldt
Sariphi.
[06:44] Lanteveldt
If you're gonna tell the king,
we'd better go join him quick.
[06:47] Sariphi
Right.
[06:49] Capel
Please wait.
[06:51] Capel
There is one other truth
I must impart to you.
[06:57] Set
You confound me.
[06:59] Set
To think that you would return
for your own execution.
[07:02] Set
You are rebels, no longer
even meriting a trial.
[07:07] Set
Thus,
[07:09] Set
I shall carry out your
sentence here and now.
[07:14] Sariphi
Another one?
[07:16] Capel
To save the king.
[07:18] Capel
To save the tiny child whose
destiny I set awry that day.
[07:39] Bennu
It looks like his spell of undeath broke.
[07:42] Bennu
Since he did his duty and passed on his
secret, he can finally rest in peace.
[07:51] Sariphi
Mr. Archpriest,
[07:53] Sariphi
your legacy is safe with me.
[07:59] Lanteveldt
Sariphi.
[08:00] Sariphi
Right.
[08:02] Sariphi
Wait for me, Leo. I'll be there soon.
[08:08] Anubis
What is the matter?
[08:09] Set
His spell is broken?
[08:12] Set
Who could have...
[08:15] Set
Don't tell me...
[08:17] Set
Chancellor,
[08:19] Set
it appears that we have fallen for a feint.
[08:23] Set
That human girl has snuck into the palace,
[08:27] Set
likely escorted by the captain of her guard.
[08:31] Set
Gather a force, and search
every nook and cranny.
[08:34] Anubis
Understood.
[08:36] Anubis
I shall see to it at once.
[08:39] Jormungand
Abi!
[08:42] Leonhart
Sariphi!
[08:52] Jormungand
Sire!
[08:55] Set
I would advise against overexerting yourself.
[08:57] Set
You must be in far greater pain
than the captain of your guard.
[09:02] Set
Humans are truly tragic creatures.
[09:06] Jormungand
Sire...
[09:07] Set
And yet, to have broken my restraints,
even for a moment,
[09:12] Set
shows how deeply you care for that girl.
[09:15] Set
In deference to your love, I shall send
you both to your graves together.
[09:24] Set
A lovely view, is it not?
[09:26] Set
How does it feel to look out from there
on what was once your kingdom,
[09:32] Set
human king?
[09:40] Set
Oh, you needn't worry.
[09:44] Set
I shall take it upon myself to restore
this kingdom to its proper form.
[09:49] Set
A nation in which species are sorted
into a definite class system.
[09:54] Set
To conceal your hideous blood,
you mixed the wheat with the chaff.
[09:59] Set
I will remake this realm
into one of order and beauty.
[10:04] Set
Wheat with wheat, chaff with chaff,
and a king with royal blood.
[10:10] Set
That is how a kingdom ought to be!
[10:13] Leonhart
No!
[10:15] Leonhart
I didn't strive for a land in which
different species merely live together,
[10:22] Leonhart
but one in which everyone
can live as themselves.
[10:26] Leonhart
No one can choose their birth.
[10:28] Leonhart
Some have long tails,
others horns, hooves, or scales.
[10:36] Leonhart
But whatever their species, everyone should
be able to take pride in themselves
[10:41] Leonhart
and live without anyone
trampling on that pride.
[10:45] Leonhart
A nation must be a place
where that is possible!
[10:49] Leonhart
Perhaps, as you say, I have no right to rule.
[10:54] Leonhart
But I have a duty to stop you!
[10:58] Leonhart
Until I've done that,
[11:00] Leonhart
I am still the king of this realm!
[11:04] Set
A king's duty?
[11:06] Set
You have no such thing.
[11:09] Set
You have only...
[11:12] (Flashback) Set's Mother
Set,
[11:14] (Flashback) Set's Mother
the truth is that you have
royal blood in your veins.
[11:19] (Flashback) Set's Mother
Look. By all rights, you should
be standing at the king's side.
[11:24] (Flashback) Set's Mother
You should have been welcomed and
acclaimed by all as our next king.
[11:31] (Flashback) Set's Mother
I'm sorry that I was only able to
give birth to you in this form.
[11:36] (Flashback) Set's Mother
That I wasn't able to give you
the appearance of royalty.
[11:40] Young Set
Mother and I are always
in a corner of the palace.
[11:44] Young Set
Because I don't look like the king,
[11:47] Young Set
no one looks at us or pays us any attention.
[11:51] Young Set
If I looked like he does, then...
[11:55] Set
You have only...
[11:56] Set
your just deserts for deceiving us
and continuing to play at kingship!
[12:03] Set
When I slay you with my own hands,
[12:05] Set
I will be able to take pride
in myself for the first time.
[12:11] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[12:18] Lanteveldt
There are more soldiers around.
We must be getting close to the king.
[12:21] Sariphi
Are you all right, Lante?
[12:23] Lanteveldt
This is a piece of cake.
[12:24] Lanteveldt
Wait, a dead end?
[12:28] Anubis
That's as far as you go, wench.
[12:32] Lanteveldt
Sariphi—
[12:33] Lanteveldt
Stop it, damn you! Let go!
[12:36] Lanteveldt
Why do I feel so weak?
[12:38] Anubis
You didn't notice? I laid wards in advance.
[12:42] Anubis
I arranged things so that
you would flee this way.
[12:46] Bennu
So that's why I feel my power draining away.
[12:51] Lanteveldt
I'm disappointed in you, Chancellor.
[12:54] Lanteveldt
I never liked you,
[12:57] Lanteveldt
but I thought your loyalty to the
king was the real deal, at least.
[13:01] Lanteveldt
In the end, though, you're just
another stupid supremacist!
[13:06] Anubis
Take him away.
[13:07] Soldiers
Yes, sir.
[13:09] Lanteveldt
Sariphi!
[13:10] Sariphi
Lante! Don't worry about me!
[13:15] Anubis
You seem awfully confident.
[13:19] Anubis
What have you come back here to do?
[13:21] Sariphi
We discovered His Majesty's origins and—
[13:23] Anubis
That's of no consequence now.
[13:25] Sariphi
Yes, it is!
[13:26] Sariphi
You must know what's going
on outside this palace.
[13:31] Sariphi
That's why His Majesty came back.
[13:33] Sariphi
And where he goes, I go.
[13:37] Sariphi
I've made up my mind
to stay with him forever.
[13:42] Anubis
I thought as much.
[13:45] Anubis
The king taking a human form
doesn't trouble you in the least.
[13:51] Anubis
Tell me one thing:
When did you learn of this?
[13:56] Anubis
Have you... known all along?
[14:00] Sariphi
Yes.
[14:01] Sariphi
Ever since my first night
of revelation in the palace,
[14:05] Sariphi
when I was supposed to be sacrificed.
[14:09] Anubis
I see.
[14:10] Anubis
While I, on the other hand, was fooled
by him from the very beginning.
[14:16] Sariphi
That's not—
[14:18] Anubis
Answer me one final question.
[14:20] Anubis
I won't tolerate evasion or deceit.
[14:23] Anubis
At the slightest sign of a lie, I'll kill you.
[14:26] Anubis
If he had no human blood like yours,
[14:32] Anubis
if he were purely a beast man,
[14:36] Anubis
would you still have
loved him from the first?
[14:40] Sariphi
Well...
[14:42] Sariphi
I don't know.
[14:49] Set
A waste of effort.
[14:50] Set
Straining too hard will
only tear your limbs off.
[14:53] Set
Humans are such frail creatures.
[14:57] Set
Struggle all you wish. It will
only make you more pathetic.
[15:02] Leonhart
Say whatever you like.
[15:05] Leonhart
I may be in human form now,
but I'm still the king of beasts!
[15:11] Leonhart
I'll never give in to someone who fails
to protect this realm and its people!
[15:17] Anubis
Please stop.
[15:19] Anubis
To continue would be meaningless.
[15:21] Leonhart
Anubis...
[15:22] Leonhart
Sariphi!
[15:23] Set
As expected of our chancellor,
you work quickly.
[15:27] Set
However...
[15:29] Anubis
I haven't killed her.
She is merely unconscious.
[15:32] Set
I see. Then the cast is all assembled.
[15:36] Set
Let us begin with the girl's execution.
[15:39] Set
By your hand, Chancellor.
[15:44] Anubis
Mine?
[15:45] Set
This girl conspired with the
false king to deceive you.
[15:49] Set
They trampled on your pride and dignity.
[15:52] Set
You have every right.
[15:59] (Flashback) Anubis
You don't know?
[16:00] (Flashback) Anubis
What do you mean by that?!
[16:02] (Flashback) Anubis
Can't you love a pure-blooded beast, then?
[16:05] (Flashback) Anubis
So that's all you amount to.
[16:07] (Flashback) Anubis
You can only truly love
other humans like yourself!
[16:11] (Flashback) Sariphi
That's not it. I don't really
understand what you're asking.
[16:16] (Flashback) Sariphi
I mean, His Majesty is both.
[16:19] (Flashback) Sariphi
He has both beast and human blood,
and he agonized over that a lot.
[16:26] (Flashback) Sariphi
And now he's kinder than anyone else.
[16:28] (Flashback) Sariphi
That's His Majesty.
[16:32] (Flashback) Sariphi
That's the king I love.
[16:35] (Flashback) Sariphi
My Leonhart.
[16:40] Set
What?!
[16:41] Set
Y-You dare?!
[16:53] Sariphi
Leo!
[16:55] Set
Anubis!
[16:56] Set
Not content with betraying me,
you would return to your former king?!
[17:02] Anubis
Return? Betray?
[17:05] Anubis
Whatever do you mean?
[17:07] Anubis
Have I ever, even once, called you king?
[17:11] Anubis
I serve the true king.
[17:13] Anubis
Though he may bizarrely have
assumed human form, my king
[17:18] Anubis
is this man and no other!
[17:21] Set
Curse you!
[17:27] Jormungand
Abi!
[17:31] Set
Now I'll finish you—
[17:34] Set
Wh-What?!
[17:36] Galois
We folk of the sea shall not sit
by in our lord's hour of need.
[17:41] Galois
We have come to restore this realm
and its people to our king.
[17:48] Galois
The full might of the
Istanese navy has arrived!
[17:52] Sariphi
Grandpa Galois! And Joz, too!
[17:55] Galois
Forward!
[18:01] Soldier E
Hey, state of emergency!
[18:03] Soldier E
Lord Set called up the whole guard!
[18:05] Soldier C
What happened?
[18:07] Soldier D
What do we do with him?
[18:08] Soldier E
Just get a move on!
[18:16] Lanteveldt
I don't know what's going on,
but this looks like my chance.
[18:18] Amit
P-Please stay still!
[18:20] Lanteveldt
Huh?
[18:22] Lanteveldt
Princess Amit?
[18:24] Lanteveldt
And the blobs, too.
[18:26] Lanteveldt
What're you doing here?
We told you to wait outside.
[18:29] Amit
W-We're terribly sorry, but we
simply couldn't stand idly by.
[18:34] Amit
And when we reached the palace, we met
gentlemen from the Istanese navy, so...
[18:39] Lanteveldt
The Istanese navy?!
[18:40] Lanteveldt
So that's what this fuss is about!
[18:42] Lanteveldt
All right, then! What're we—
[18:44] Amit
Please wait a moment!
[18:46] Amit
M-Might you help us find
what we're searching for?
[18:50] Amit
If we succeed, we may be able
to rescue the king from his plight.
[19:01] Joz
Don't push yerself too hard, boss.
[19:03] Joz
Ya complained about yer hip
actin' up just yesterday.
[19:06] Galois
You needn't worry.
[19:11] Galois
Old I may be, but I, Galois,
was once known as the Sea God.
[19:17] Galois
No fledgling will get the better of me yet!
[19:21] Ocelot
Neither hate the beasts nor fear them.
[19:25] Ocelot
Take the refugees under
your protection at once!
[19:27] Ocelot
The king of Maskviana commands it!
[19:30] Sorting Squad Captain
Running to filthy humans for succor,
[19:33] Sorting Squad Captain
you lesser species?!
[19:38] Ilya
Get them out of here, fast!
[19:39] Protecting Soldier 1
Come on!
[19:40] Protecting Soldier 2
This way!
[19:41] El
Tha...
[19:44] El
Thank you!
[19:50] Sorting Squad Captain
Damn you, human!
[19:54] Ilya
Do your worst, monster.
[19:57] Set
What's taking you so long?!
[19:58] Set
Why are you struggling
to best these sea scum?!
[20:01] Vassal
Lord Set, it's an emergency!
[20:03] Vassal
The Kingdom of Sarbul has
sent an urgent message!
[20:07] Sariphi
Sarbul?
[20:08] Sariphi
That's Tetra's home.
[20:10] Tet
My people, all the lands of Ozmargo
[20:14] Tet
are now faced with a choice
of grave importance.
[20:17] Tet
We would be first-class subjects
under the new king's system.
[20:23] Tet
Accepting that status may pave
the way for our future prosperity.
[20:28] Tet
I, however,
[20:29] Tet
reject it!
[20:32] Tet
Some may view my choice as folly.
[20:36] Tet
But for the youth on whom the future rests—
[20:40] Tet
for the children who will inhabit that future—
[20:42] Tet
we must not leave a world where one's
species determines one's standing!
[20:47] Tet
Our Sarbul stands behind the king of Ozmargo,
[20:50] Tet
who has championed the equality
of species since his accession!
[20:56] Tetra
Sariphi,
[20:58] Tetra
we're on your side!
[21:01] Vassal
As has Lord Braun Breuse,
overlord of Maasya,
[21:04] Vassal
King Ur I of Bolstobas, and others.
[21:07] Vassal
If the king of Ozmargo does
not resume his reign,
[21:10] Vassal
they are all prepared
to do battle for his cause!
[21:17] Amit
Here it is!
[21:18] Amit
A fixed magical array. This is what is
clearing the miasma from the skies.
[21:23] Lanteveldt
Good job figuring that out.
[21:25] Amit
Given how long the spell
has remained in effect,
[21:28] Amit
I felt certain that there
was some trick to it.
[21:30] Lanteveldt
So if we destroy this, then—
[21:34] Lanteveldt
Ow! That stings!
[21:36] Lanteveldt
What the hell?! More wards?!
[21:38] Amit
This is a blood pact.
[21:40] Amit
The caster's blood serves as a
medium to control the spell.
[21:45] Amit
Unless we have enough blood
to overwrite the pact...
[21:49] Lanteveldt
Princess Amit?!
[21:51] Set
What is the meaning of this?
[21:53] Set
I can understand the sea scum revolting,
but I made those lands first-class subjects!
[22:00] Set
Curse their moral posturing!
[22:01] Sariphi
They aren't just posturing!
[22:03] Leonhart
Sariphi...
[22:05] Sariphi
I know that some people
enjoy keeping others down,
[22:11] Sariphi
but no one is born deserving
to be treated as lesser.
[22:16] Sariphi
His Majesty worked hard to
stop that from happening!
[22:20] Sariphi
The people who are willing
to fight alongside him now
[22:23] Sariphi
are the ones who really understood that.
[22:28] Sariphi
If you really want to be king,
[22:31] Sariphi
listen to everyone's voices, and look
at the people who live in this realm.
[22:35] Sariphi
Why would anyone look to you when
you don't even try to see them?!
[22:43] Set
Silence.
[22:44] Leonhart
Sari—
[22:45] Set
Be silent!
[22:54] Leonhart
Sariphi.
[22:56] Leonhart
You,
[22:57] Leonhart
all of you,
[22:59] Leonhart
gave strength to a weakling like me!
[23:03] Leonhart
So...
[23:04] Leonhart
So I will...
[23:10] Set
What?!
[23:18] Leonhart
...repay your devotion!
[23:25] Sariphi
Hey, Leo, do you remember when
I first came here as a sacrifice?
[23:32] Sariphi
You were the strongest,
kindest person there was.
[23:35] Sariphi
I hope that your feelings reach
everyone in your kingdom.

Set,
[00:01] (Flashback) Set's Mother
the truth is that you have
royal blood in your veins.
[00:06] (Flashback) Set's Mother
By all rights, you should
be standing at the king's side.
[00:11] (Flashback) Set's Mother
I'm sorry that I was only able to
give birth to you in this form.
[00:15] (Flashback) Set's Mother
But remember, Set...
SIGN A Queen and the Future of the Kingdom
[00:40] Sariphi
Sire!
[00:42] Leonhart
Keep some distance from me, Sariphi.
[00:51] Set
Returning to the form of a beast
now will make no difference!
[00:56] Set
You have already been unmasked!
[00:59] Set
No throne will tolerate your
weight upon it any longer!
[01:11] Set
Curse you!
[01:24] Leonhart
Set, your warped obsession with species
has led the people of this land astray
[01:30] Leonhart
and caused harm to those I hold dear.
[01:34] Leonhart
Even if I must relinquish my throne,
[01:38] Leonhart
I will see you pay for your crimes!
[01:44] Lanteveldt
Is that...
[01:46] Cy
The king!
[01:47] Clops
His Majesty is back to normal!
[01:49] Lanteveldt
Sariphi!
[01:54] Soldier A
Wh-What magical power!
[01:56] Galois
Half his blood is human, and yet
he commands such arcane might.
[02:00] Galois
No ordinary beast could hope to equal him.
[02:05] Soldier B
S-So is His Majesty legitimate after all?
[02:09] Soldier C
But...
[02:10] Leonhart
That is beside the point.
[02:13] Leonhart
The strength that a king should wield
is not the magic of the royal line.
[02:19] Leonhart
It is the strength to protect those
who struggle to live in this realm.
[02:24] Leonhart
Because you failed to grasp that,
[02:27] Leonhart
you have no right to the throne!
[02:31] Set
Protecting the people of this realm?
You call that royal power?
[02:36] Set
Don't make me laugh!
[02:38] Set
If that's true, then why did
no one protect my mother?!
[02:44] Set
Merely because I was born looking like this,
[02:47] Set
she was unable to become queen
and died in obscurity.
[02:52] Set
So I searched...
[02:54] Set
And I found this!
[02:56] Set
Sealed deep within the forbidden archive
[03:00] Set
lay a codex of taboo spells that only
those with royal blood can wield!
[03:04] Set
With it, I shall prove that I
possess the might of a king!
[03:13] Lanteveldt
What is that?
[03:17] Sariphi
This is a stone that the archpriest left me.
[03:21] Soldier B
The archpriest?!
[03:23] Soldier C
The one who's been missing since forever?!
[03:26] Set
I knew it!
[03:27] Capel
I am Archpriest Capel.
[03:31] Capel
I took on the form of a speechless devil
[03:34] Soldier D
Wh-What's this voice?!
[03:34] Capel
in order to safeguard
the truth about our king.
[03:37] Galois
It must belong to the one
who gave her that stone.
[03:41] Capel
There is one more truth
that I must impart to you.
[03:47] Sariphi
Mr. Archpriest's last words...
[03:50] Capel
This is the secret that I was
to guard above all others.
[03:56] Capel
His Majesty,
[03:58] Capel
our former king, was physically
incapable of siring children.
[04:05] Capel
His Late Majesty shared a bed with many
concubines in addition to his queen,
[04:12] Capel
yet neither Her Majesty nor any of his
other partners ever conceived a child.
[04:18] Capel
At last, our late king realized
that the cause lay with him,
[04:24] Capel
and he reluctantly claimed
his brother's son as his own.
[04:29] Jormungand
The last king had a brother?!
[04:31] Amit
That is His Majesty's true lineage.
[04:35] Capel
To conceal that fact,
[04:37] Capel
when one of the late king's concubines
conceived a child by another man,
[04:42] Capel
he falsely claimed the child as his own,
and I signed my name as witness.
[04:49] Capel
This is another of my sins.
[04:53] Capel
Yet in time, that concubine
became convinced of our falsehood.
[04:58] Set
Lies!
[05:03] Set
"Convinced of a falsehood"?
[05:07] Set
That can't be!
[05:09] Set
As we speak, I now wield the power of a king!
[05:13] Set
I will prove it!
[05:15] Set
Otherwise...
[05:16] Leonhart
Enough, Set!
[05:17] Leonhart
Any more, and—
[05:18] Set
Otherwise, my birth would be meaningless!
[05:29] Set
What is... this?
[05:34] Leonhart
Your limits.
[05:36] Leonhart
Those forbidden spells consume
immense magical power.
[05:40] Leonhart
You cast more than your blood could bear.
[05:43] Leonhart
Set,
[05:45] Leonhart
you became drunk on brute strength
and never attempted to accept yourself.
[05:50] Leonhart
And so, you lost.
[05:53] Set
Is this... the truth?
[05:57] Set
Everything I believed
[06:00] Set
was a lie.
[06:02] Set
What I sought was always beyond my reach.
[06:08] Set
Then... why have I...
[06:19] Sariphi
It doesn't matter what your reason was.
[06:23] Sariphi
If meaning only makes you suffer,
you're better off without it.
[06:27] Sariphi
No matter how you were born,
you can only ever be yourself.
[06:32] Sariphi
No one else can ever become you.
[06:36] Sariphi
What more meaning does your birth need?!
[06:40] Set
Oh, I see.
[06:43] Set's Mother
Set.
[06:44] Set
What I've always longed for was merely...
[06:49] (Flashback) Set's Mother
No matter what you look like,
you're still you.
[06:53] (Flashback) Set's Mother
Your mother loves you very much.
[06:56] Set
What I've always longed for
was merely... merely...
[07:04] Set
that one thing.
[07:08] Set
I know.
[07:09] (Flashback) Set
I love you, too, Mother!
[07:17] Anubis
You must be furious with me.
[07:21] Leonhart
Don't you mean the reverse?
[07:24] Leonhart
I've deceived you all this time.
[07:27] Anubis
No, I have spoken out against humans
many times in your presence.
[07:35] Anubis
It is only natural that you could
not unburden yourself to me.
[07:40] Leonhart
My weakness was to blame.
That was no fault of yours.
[07:44] Anubis
Even so, I cannot forgive myself.
[07:49] Anubis
Once my wounds heal somewhat
and I am able to walk,
[07:52] Anubis
I intend to leave this realm.
[07:56] Anubis
In all this time, I have done nothing
but hound and harm you.
[08:02] Anubis
Now that I realize that, I cannot
bear to remain at your side.
[08:07] Leonhart
Anubis!
[08:07] Anubis
You have the girl.
[08:11] Anubis
I admit it.
[08:13] Anubis
More than anyone else, she has
guided you to become a mighty king.
[08:17] Anubis
She became the thing that you needed most.
[08:22] Leonhart
You are right that Sariphi
made me the strongest of all.
[08:27] Leonhart
But that was only possible
because I had you, Anubis.
[08:34] Leonhart
To make a weakling like me a king,
you've played the villain all this time.
[08:40] Leonhart
No one knows that as well as I do.
[08:44] Leonhart
Without you,
[08:46] Leonhart
I would still have been soft
when I was crowned.
[08:49] Leonhart
And I may have been toppled from
my throne before I ever met Sariphi.
[08:54] Leonhart
I could have crushed all opposition
and made Sariphi my queen at once.
[09:00] Leonhart
I stayed my hand because I wanted you,
of all people, to approve.
[09:05] Leonhart
I wanted the woman I truly
love to be truly accepted
[09:11] Leonhart
by you, my first friend.
[09:19] Young Leonhart
Hi, Sirius.
[09:21] (Flashback) Young Anubis
My name is Anubis.
[09:23] (Flashback) Young Anubis
Your Highness must never
treat a vassal as a friend.
[09:27] Anubis
I didn't care how shunned or detested I was.
[09:31] Anubis
We could never go back to
the way we used to be.
[09:35] Anubis
I thought that I would never
be able to touch him again.
[09:39] Anubis
To feel this warmth.
[09:41] Leonhart
Lacking though I am,
[09:43] Leonhart
lend me your aid a little longer... Sirius.
[09:48] Lanteveldt
What?!
[09:50] Lanteveldt
You knew that the chancellor
hadn't turned traitor the whole time?!
[09:53] Jormungand
Of course.
[09:55] Jormungand
He's too much of a contrarian for
such a straightforward betrayal.
[09:59] Lanteveldt
Then what'd you punch him so hard for?
[10:03] Jormungand
How could Set doubt Abi's loyalty after that?
[10:08] Jormungand
But anyway,
[10:09] Jormungand
the worst is yet to come.
[10:12] Jormungand
We need to deal with the sorting squads
that followed Set's way of thinking.
[10:15] Lanteveldt
So I'd better stay on my toes?
[10:17] Lanteveldt
Tell me something I don't already know.
[10:22] Lanteveldt
Please continue to spar with me,
Captain of the Royal Guard, sir!
[10:32] Sariphi
Thank goodness!
[10:33] Sariphi
It's still here.
[10:35] Sariphi
Look!
[10:37] Leonhart
So this is the diary you
brought back from Yoana.
[10:41] Leonhart
You hid it in the passage I used
to let the sacrifices escape.
[10:45] Sariphi
It might not bring any fresh discoveries.
[10:48] Sariphi
And you might end up wishing
you'd never read it.
[10:59] Leonhart's Mother
A life with a human mother and a beast
father is now growing inside me.
[11:05] Leonhart's Mother
This child may resent its beast father.
[11:09] Leonhart's Mother
Or it may resent me for loving a beast.
[11:13] Leonhart's Mother
A beast I met one year ago,
in the forest near the border.
[11:19] Leonhart's Mother
He'd been horribly wounded in battle.
[11:22] Leonhart's Mother
"I won't hurt you, so please,
let me die in peace."
[11:26] Leonhart's Mother
He said that with such a sad look
in his eyes that I heard him out.
[11:31] Leonhart's Mother
His family cast him out
as soon as he was born,
[11:34] Leonhart's Mother
so he had no home or
loved ones to return to.
[11:37] Leonhart's Mother
He could only win recognition by fighting,
but he was sick of hurting people.
[11:43] Leonhart's Mother
He just wanted to live loving someone
and being loved by them.
[11:48] Leonhart's Mother
He was so different from
my image of a beast.
[11:54] (Flashback) Leonhart's Mother
Don't cry.
[11:56] (Flashback) Leonhart's Mother
I'll love you.
[12:00] Leonhart's Mother
My whole family shunned me
because I have red eyes like a witch,
[12:04] Leonhart's Mother
and he was all alone,
never even given a name.
[12:08] Leonhart's Mother
Looking back now, our meeting
must have been fate.
[12:14] Leonhart's Mother
Though he was taken from us all too soon,
I'll tell our child for him.
[12:20] Leonhart's Mother
"Your father couldn't wait
for you to be born," I'll say.
[12:26] Leonhart's Mother
"You were born loved."
[12:29] Leonhart's Mother
"And someday,
[12:31] Leonhart's Mother
I want you to love someone—
and yourself—with all your heart, too."
[12:39] Sariphi
Sire?
[12:40] Leonhart
No, I'm fine.
[12:43] Sariphi
Okay.
[12:45] Sariphi
I understand.
[12:46] Sariphi
Those aren't sad tears.
[12:49] Leonhart's Mother
My baby kicked a lot today.
I'm sure it will be born healthy.
[12:56] Leonhart's Mother
If my baby is a boy, my first gift
to him will be the name "Richard."
[13:03] Leonhart's Mother
The same name as the legendary king
whom people called "Lionheart."
[13:08] Leonhart's Mother
Please, let my baby have the
indomitable heart of a lion.
[13:13] Leonhart's Mother
Let my child be strong and brave.
[13:17] Leonhart
Now I feel as though I truly
do understand who I am.
[13:22] Leonhart
Thank you, Sariphi.
[13:25] Sariphi
I just passed on a diary I was given.
[13:28] Sariphi
Anyway, I guess your real
name is Richard, sire.
[13:32] Sariphi
Should I call you that from now on?
[13:35] Leonhart
No. My only name is the one you gave me.
[13:39] Leonhart
From now on, I'll face everyone
as I am, keeping no secrets.
[13:45] Leonhart
And...
[13:47] Leonhart
that includes you.
[13:48] Sariphi
Me?
[13:55] Amit
Oh, is resuming the ceremony where
they left off really a good idea?!
[14:00] Lanteveldt
Like I said, it'll be fine.
[14:02] Cy
More importantly, your scar.
[14:04] Clops
Why didn't you ask Sari's holy beast to heal it?
[14:07] Amit
What? W-Well...
[14:11] (Flashback) Jormungand
Lante told me what happened.
[14:13] (Flashback) Jormungand
Forgive me.
[14:15] (Flashback) Jormungand
I, a knight, am unscathed,
while you suffered such a wound.
[14:19] (Flashback) Amit
N-No, I did this to myself!
[14:23] (Flashback) Amit
Besides,
[14:25] (Flashback) Amit
I'm glad that even I was
able to make myself useful.
[14:28] (Flashback) Amit
It wasn't much compared
to all of your contributions,
[14:32] (Flashback) Amit
but to me, this scar is a badge of honor.
[14:38] (Flashback) Jormungand
Then an apology from me
would merely wound your pride.
[14:42] (Flashback) Amit
What?!
[14:45] (Flashback) Jormungand
You have my gratitude for
the aid you rendered my king.
[14:50] (Flashback) Jormungand
I know of no hand more beautiful.
SIGN BLUSH
[14:57] Clops
Princess Amit?!
[14:58] Lanteveldt
Seriously, is she all right?
[15:00] Jormungand
Silence!
[15:02] Jormungand
His Majesty approaches!
[15:15] Leonhart
Several days ago, on this spot, I appeared
in a form that I have long concealed.
[15:22] Leonhart
It is true that half of my blood is human.
[15:26] Leonhart
Proving my royal lineage
will not change that fact.
[15:30] Leonhart
But my efforts to mend relations with Yoana
[15:35] Leonhart
were not driven by a desire
to conceal my lineage.
[15:39] Leonhart
I did that
[15:40] Leonhart
because I learned to love someone.
[15:44] Leonhart
She was merely an unfortunate girl,
[15:47] Leonhart
given to Ozmargo as a sacrifice.
[15:49] Leonhart
But no one is as strong of heart as her,
and she has sustained my own, weak heart.
[15:58] Leonhart
She simply faced others as people,
not as beasts or humans,
[16:02] Leonhart
and her spirit moved me... and many others.
[16:07] Leonhart
Loving her brought me to a realization.
[16:11] Leonhart
The kingdom I should truly strive for
is one unbound by species or birth,
[16:16] Leonhart
where people are free to love
and be loved as they are.
[16:34] El
Hey! It's the lady from that time!
[16:38] Leonhart
No doubt some of you cannot forgive me
for having human blood and hiding it.
[16:44] Leonhart
But I want you to trust me one more time.
[16:46] Leonhart
With Sariphi at my side, I swear to
defend Ozmargo until my dying breath.
[16:54] Leonhart
Once more, I want you to entrust all
of your presents and your futures
[17:00] Leonhart
to me, as the new king of Ozmargo:
[17:03] Leonhart
Leonhart!
[17:13] Bolas
Long live King Leonhart!
[17:15] Bolas's Mother
Long live Queen Sariphi!
[17:25] Sariphi
That's my Leonhart.
[17:46] Anubis
Tomorrow, our second meeting
with Yoana will proceed as planned.
[17:51] Anubis
Forgive me for rushing you, sire,
[17:53] Anubis
but please prepare immediately
after the ceremony.
[17:55] Leonhart
I understand.
[17:57] Leonhart
This is the most vital time.
[17:59] Leonhart
Even newlyweds must attend
to serious matters.
[18:02] Anubis
You need have no fear.
[18:04] Jormungand
We will devote our hearts and souls to
Your Majesty more than ever before.
[18:10] Leonhart
I'm counting on you.
[18:12] Priest
Queen Sariphi is ready now.
[18:30] Sariphi
H-How do I look?
[18:34] Leonhart
You look lovely.
[18:35] Leonhart
My queen is more beautiful
than anything in the world.
[18:41] Leonhart
Come. It's time.
[18:43] Sariphi
Oh, just one thing first.
[18:47] Sariphi
Before I become queen for real,
I want you to hear
[18:51] Sariphi
how I feel now, just as me.
[18:55] Sariphi
I grew up in the small northern village of Noel.
[19:00] Sariphi
I had a mom, a dad, and a big sister.
[19:03] Sariphi
I never doubted that I was happy...
[19:07] Sariphi
until I learned about the sacrifices.
[19:10] Sariphi
I accepted my destiny.
[19:12] Sariphi
That was so much easier than
brooding over or struggling against it.
[19:17] Sariphi
But...
[19:19] Sariphi
I was really just running
from my own feelings.
[19:23] Sariphi
I was always weak.
[19:25] Sariphi
But, you know,
[19:27] Sariphi
everything changed when I met you.
[19:30] Sariphi
Because you chose me, I was
able to face my own destiny.
[19:37] Sariphi
And now, from the bottom of my heart,
[19:41] Sariphi
I feel truly glad that I lived to see today!
[19:46] Sariphi
So I hope you'll stay with
me forever, warts and all.
[19:52] Leonhart
Yes. I feel the same.
[19:55] Sariphi
I'm so glad that I was born me.
[20:01] Sariphi
Say, Leo.
[20:03] Sariphi
Tomorrow, and the day after,
[20:05] Sariphi
even a decade or a century from now,
[20:07] Sariphi
I'll always feel this way.
[20:09] Sariphi
I was truly lucky to get to live
with everyone and by your side.
[20:16] Sariphi
Truly.
[20:17] Leonhart
Let's go, Sariphi.
[20:19] Sariphi
Right.
[20:21] Sariphi
This is only the beginning.
[20:23] Sariphi
For this kingdom,
for everyone... and for us.
[20:32] Clops
Your Highness!
[20:33] Clops
Prince Richard!
[20:35] Clops
You slipped out of your lessons again!
[20:38] Clops
Lord Anubis will be furious with us!
[20:40] Cy
Us!
[20:41] Richard
That's the problem!
[20:43] Richard
I can't stand Anubis because he's always angry.
[20:46] Richard
That's why I run away!
[20:51] Clops
We've got you now.
[20:56] Clops
No fair, Your Highness!
[20:56] Maidservant A
Goodness!
[20:58] Maidservant A
Prince Richard's transformations
barely faze me anymore.
[21:03] Maidservant B
Same here.
[21:03] Maidservant B
I never thought the day would come
that I got used to seeing humans.
[21:10] Amit
Prince Richard is certainly
a lively young man, isn't he?
[21:14] Jormungand
Yes, although I worry he may be
too rambunctious for his own good.
[21:18] Jormungand
King Leonhart could never have
spent his youth like that.
[21:23] Jormungand
When I think of that,
his childishness seems charming.
[21:28] Jormungand
If I had a child of my own, I'd want them
to be unfettered like the prince.
[21:34] Amit
I feel the same way.
[21:38] Amit
O-Only hypothetically, of course.
[21:41] Jormungand
Yes, hypothetically.
[21:44] Lanteveldt
Gotcha.
[21:45] Richard
Lante! What gives?!
[21:47] Richard
I thought you were on my side!
[21:50] Lanteveldt
Sorry, Your Highness. I side with Her Majesty.
[21:54] Lanteveldt
Come on. The chancellor is waiting for you.
[21:58] Anubis
Now, let us resume your lesson.
[22:01] Richard
I've had enough!
[22:03] Richard
I'd rather train with Lante than study.
[22:07] Richard
A king of beasts just has to be strong, right?
[22:10] Anubis
Those days are over.
[22:14] Anubis
You'll need more than powerful
magic to become a great king.
[22:18] Anubis
You must learn history and culture,
both domestic and foreign,
[22:21] Anubis
broaden your horizons, and become
a king who can guide others.
[22:25] Richard
Guide others?
[22:27] Anubis
Indeed.
[22:28] Anubis
Listen to the voices of many people
and sympathize with their pain.
[22:32] Anubis
That is how your father and mother
have guided our land to this day.
[22:41] Richard
Hey, Anubis,
[22:42] Richard
in that case, tell me about
my mom and dad today!
[22:45] Richard
I wanna hear about what they
did before they had me!
[22:47] Anubis
What?
[22:48] Anubis
Oh, very well.
[22:51] Anubis
That is part of what a monarch ought to know.
[22:54] Richard
Yes!
[22:55] Anubis
But you mustn't tell your
father that I told you.
[22:59] Richard
Right!
[23:01] Anubis
In those days, our land was still entirely
isolated from Yoana diplomatically.
[23:07] Anubis
The one exception to this inviolable
rule was the practice of sacrifice,
[23:11] Anubis
by means of which a lone
girl came to our land.
[23:15] Anubis
At first, I saw her as a wretched creature...
[23:21] King of Maskviana
At the ends of the earth,
blanketed by miasma,
[23:24] King of Maskviana
lay a kingdom that was once
called a forbidden realm.
[23:28] King of Maskviana
There lived many beasts,
ruled over by a kindly king
[23:33] King of Maskviana
and a happy sacrificial princess.
