# 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.

**[02:17] Official A**
Get out.
**[02:31] Official B**
Move.
**[02:58] Guard A**
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.

**[00:01] Narrator**
At the ends of the earth,
blanketed by miasma,
**[00:03] Narrator**
lay a land home to monstrous vassals
who once dominated and devoured mankind.
**[00:07] Narrator**
Over them reigned a mighty king,
**[00:10] Narrator**
who forbade all humans entry.
**[00:14] Speaker A**
Your Majesty, please!
**[00:16] Speaker B**
We beg you to reconsider!
**[00:18] Leonhart**
Enough. I've made my decision.
**[00:21] Speaker A**
B-But this is all far too irregular,
even for a royal whim.
**[00:27] Speaker B**
A queen ought to descend
from a royal or noble lineage.
**[00:31] Speaker B**
And a *human* girl is simply out—
**[00:37] Leonhart**
I am king,
**[00:38] Leonhart**
and I will brook no argument.
**[00:51] Speaker A**
In that case, sire,
**[00:54] Speaker A**
would you at least consider...

**[02:35] Cy; Clops**
Sari!
**[02:37] Sariphi**
Cy, Clops.
**[02:39] Clops**
You mustn't roam the palace on your own!
**[02:42] Clops**
His Majesty will reprimand us!
**[02:44] Cy**
The king is scary! Scary!
**[02:46] Sariphi**
I'm sorry, but...
**[02:49] Sariphi**
*I came here as a sacrifice to the king.*
**[02:53] Sariphi**
* Really, he should already*
* have eaten me by now.*
**[02:57] Sariphi**
*And yet...*
**[02:59] (Flashback) Leonhart**
Though I was born a beast,
half my blood is human.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Leonhart**
I can never truly be either.
**[03:06] (Flashback) Leonhart**
How could such a pitiful weakling be a king?
**[03:12] (Flashback) Sariphi**
You're not weak.
**[03:15] Sariphi**
* 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!*
**[03:51] Leonhart**
What are you doing here, Sariphi?
**[03:53] Clops**
Y-Y-Your Majesty!
**[03:56] Leonhart**
Cy, Clops, can't you even
stand guard properly?
**[04:00] Sariphi**
Wait, Leonhart! I left on my own.
Don't be cross with them.
**[04:05] Anubis**
"Leo"...?
**[04:09] Leonhart**
In any case, return to your chambers.
**[04:11] Leonhart**
Anubis, I must bid you a moment's leave.
**[04:14] Anubis**
Sire.
**[04:19] Leonhart**
I told you to wait quietly
here while I was gone.
**[04:23] Leonhart**
If you need something,
I'll have it brought to you.
**[04:25] Sariphi**
I know.
**[04:27] Sariphi**
But I want to do something—
anything—to help you, Leo.
**[04:33] Leonhart**
I will soon hold a court banquet.
**[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
***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!
***SIGN*** SQUISH
***SIGN*** SQUISH
**[19:49] Leonhart**
Have you forgotten?
**[19:51] Leonhart**
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!

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.
***SIGN*** YANK

**[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.
**[07:54] Cy**
Close one.
**[07:55] Amit**
And all her hard work seems
to be paying off beautifully!
**[08:00] Sariphi**
This venerable courtyard boasts
a history spanning two millennia.
**[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?!
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
***SIGN*** In no pain
whatsoever
**[20:39] Sariphi**
Huh? Nope.
**[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?

**[00:01] Official A**
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.
**[00:40] Anubis**
*I knew I wasn't imagining things.*
**[00:44] Anubis**
* His Majesty has changed yet again*
* since the Grand Consecration.*
***SIGN*** Divine Protection and the Acting Queen Consort
**[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?
**[15:38] Leonhart**
Why wouldn't I take my queen
with me to my chambers?
**[15:42] Leonhart**
Now, come along.
***SIGN*** FUME
**[15:50] Sariphi**
I'm sorry, sire. I spoiled
that lovely banquet.
**[15:56] Sariphi**
I promise I'll do better at the rite tomo—
**[15:57] Leonhart**
Sariphi,
**[15:59] Leonhart**
aren't you always telling me
that I need not act tough for you?
**[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.

**[17:28] Leonhart**
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!

**[02:00] Calra**
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.
**[02:19] 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.
**[03:54] Sariphi**
But, Tetra—
**[03:56] Tetra**
How impudent! Address me as "Your Highness"!
**[03:58] Tetra**
Now, on to your next task!

And this?!
**[04:15] Tetra**
And... this?!
**[04:18] Tetra**
What, do you admit defeat already?
**[04:21] Sariphi**
Yup. What should we play next?
**[04:25] Tetra**
Oh, so these orders are just games to you?
**[04:30] Tetra**
A horse! Your next task is to be my horse!
**[04:33] Tetra**
Get down on all fours, and let me ride you!
**[04:36] Clops**
Kn-Knock it off! Sari's not your toy!
**[04:41] Cy**
Toy!
**[04:42] Sariphi**
Here. Climb aboard.
**[04:44] Tetra**
Wha...
**[04:45] Tetra**
What's wrong with you? Have you no pride?!
**[04:48] Tetra**
Are you that desperate to
curry favor with my mother?!
**[04:51] Sariphi**
Your mother?
**[04:52] Sariphi**
Oh, that's right. I was having so
much fun, it slipped my mind.
**[04:58] Tetra**
Hey, wai—
**[04:59] Sariphi**
Giddyup!
**[05:09] Tetra**
Are you stupid, as well as ugly?
**[05:13] Tetra**
Horses don't walk on two legs.
**[05:15] Sariphi**
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**
Huh? You mean they wouldn't
be half and half?

Really?
**[14:39] Tetra**
You don't even know *that*?
**[14:41] Tetra**
If you're going to be queen, you'll have
to bear the king's children someday.

**[15:06] Sariphi**
* Doing my duty so I could stay with His*

**[15:12] Sariphi**
*But if...*
**[15:15] Sariphi**
* if I could start a real family*

**[15:22] Sariphi**
*What sorts of challenges would we face?*
**[15:25] Sariphi**
* His Majesty suffers because*
* of his own mixed blood.*
**[15:29] Sariphi**
* How does he feel about the legacy*
* our relationship might leave?*
**[15:34] Sariphi**
*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!
**[18:24] (Flashback) Previous King**
I regret...
**[18:27] (Flashback) Previous King**
that I will leave you... when I die.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Young Leonhart**
Fath—
**[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.

**[00:01] Sariphi**
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!
**[01:16] Jormungand**
No cause justifies turning a blade
against unarmed people!
**[01:22] Jormungand**
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.

**[00:01] Sariphi**
Gulls!
**[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.
***SIGN*** Sick
***SIGN*** (from drinking
too much)
**[00:37] Clops**
Sailing doesn't bother you, Sari?
**[00:39] Sariphi**
Nope. Seeing all these new
things is so much fun.
**[00:43] Sariphi**
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!

***SIGN*** Sabarro Valley, center
**[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.

**[00:01] Anubis**
At present, no noteworthy
disturbances have been reported.
**[00:06] Anubis**
Peace is returning to the realm.
**[00:09] Leonhart**
I'm glad that your wounds
have healed, as well.
**[00:12] Leonhart**
I demanded much of you.
**[00:15] Anubis**
Anything for Your Majesty.
**[00:17] Leonhart**
I see.
**[00:20] Leonhart**
Still, the palace seems
somewhat less than peaceful.
**[00:24] Anubis**
All in the name of preparation for
the ceremony in two days' time.
**[00:28] Anubis**
Fenrir's dissidents have been brought
to heel, and Your Majesty is well.
**[00:34] Anubis**
We shall celebrate with a triumphal
procession through the city.
**[00:38] Leonhart**
I need no pomp.
**[00:40] Anubis**
But in this triumph, as at
the Grand Consecration,
**[00:46] Anubis**
it may be wise to keep
Lady Sariphi out of sight.
**[00:51] Anubis**
Our king risked his life to
rescue his queen from a foe.
**[00:56] Anubis**
Were you both beasts,
no tale could be more moving.
**[01:00] Anubis**
However,
**[01:01] Anubis**
a reminder that you acted for a
human girl would be the lone blot
**[01:07] Anubis**
to dampen this victorious mood.
**[01:16] Anubis**
Far be it from me to say more.
**[01:19] Anubis**
I shall defer to Your Majesty's judgment.
***SIGN*** A Bridge Between Beasts and Humans
**[03:00] Sariphi**
Wow!
**[03:01] Sariphi**
These look even more delicious than usual!
**[03:04] Amit**
I baked them to celebrate
His Majesty's recovery.
**[03:06] Amit**
Would you care for one, Sir Lante?
**[03:08] Lanteveldt**
Sorry, but I swore off sweet
stuff for my training.
**[03:12] Amit**
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.
**[03:44] Lanteveldt**
And I'll have one after all.
**[03:48] Amit**
If it comes as a gift from one's beloved,
**[03:52] Amit**
even a pebble from the roadside
will outshine any gem.
**[03:57] Sariphi**
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.
**[04:26] Sariphi**
Tell me, sire,
**[04:28] Sariphi**
do you remember what I told you
when you gave that ring to me?
**[04:36] Sariphi**
Sorry! It's nothing!
**[04:39] Sariphi**
*I guess it* was *a long time ago.*
**[04:42] Sariphi**
*I shouldn't be surprised.*
**[04:44] Leonhart**
Sariphi.
**[04:46] Leonhart**
Come. I have something to show you.
**[04:51] Sariphi**
Where are we going, sire?
**[04:53] Sariphi**
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.
**[05:22] Sariphi**
How strange. A spring of blue water.
**[05:26] Leonhart**
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.

**[20:43] 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**
as the beasts' emi—
**[23:36] Bennu**
That's why I said to hang on tight, dimwit!

**[00:04] Bennu**
So this is Maskviana,
the biggest kingdom in Yoana.
**[00:07] Sariphi**
It's full of people.
**[00:09] Bennu**
That's all you've got to say
about coming home?
**[00:12] Sariphi**
*The human realm. My birthplace.*
**[00:16] Sariphi**
*Is this really my...*
**[00:20] Merchant**
You there! Miss!
**[00:22] Merchant**
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,
**[00:30] Merchant**
was worn by Maskvis the Creator's brother's
wife's sister's best friend when—
**[00:35] Sariphi**
Um...
**[00:36] Ocelot**
Then allow *me* to purchase it.
***SIGN*** A Royal Letter and a Taboo Witch
**[02:19] Ocelot**
Didn't you hear me? If it's as
valuable as you say, I insist.
**[02:23] Ocelot**
It would make a fine gift
for His Royal Majesty.
**[02:25] Merchant**
N-No, perish the thought.
**[02:27] Merchant**
Now, if you'll excuse me.
**[02:30] Sariphi**
Thank you so much.
**[02:31] Ocelot**
Are you on a pilgrimage?
**[02:33] Sariphi**
No, I'm—
**[02:34] Ocelot**
I am Ocelot, and I have the great honor
to serve as the acting commander of
**[02:39] Ocelot**
the Kingdom of Maskviana's
Exorcistic Knights.
**[02:42] Sariphi**
Ah...
**[02:43] Ocelot**
To reach Lova Cathedral,
go two streets over and head north.
**[02:48] Sariphi**
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.
**[03:04] Ocelot**
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.
**[03:51] Amit**
Oh, will Lady Sariphi truly be safe?!
**[03:55] Clops**
Sh-She'll be fine, Princess Amit.
**[03:58] Clops**
Sari's a human in a human land!
She'll be in no danger!
**[04:02] Cy**
No danger!
**[04:03] Lanteveldt**
I dunno. What if hearing she's
a beast envoy freaks them out?
**[04:07] Lanteveldt**
She could be locked up right now.
**[04:12] Clops**
B-Be strong!
**[04:14] Cy**
Eee!
**[04:16] Amit**
I mustn't go on like this.
**[04:20] Amit**
After all, there's someone who must be far
more beside himself with worry than I am.
**[04:27] Amit**
Namely, His Majesty.
**[04:30] Sariphi**
It's nighttime.
**[04:33] Sariphi**
What'll we do if they just leave us here?
**[04:36] Bennu**
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.*

**[09:40] Sariphi**
Good morning!
**[09:42] Bennu**
Yo.
**[09:45] Sariphi**
Wait! Hear me out!
**[10:05] Bennu**
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?
**[11:21] Sariphi**
What are you doing?!
**[11:24] Man A**
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?

**[00:02] Anubis**
*What do you mean?!*
**[00:04] Anubis**
*What truth about His Majesty?!*
**[00:06] (Flashback) Set**
I lack conclusive evidence.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Set**
Thus, I desire your cooperation.
**[00:14] (Flashback) Anubis**
My cooperation?
**[00:17] (Flashback) Set**
For some time now, I have occasionally felt
**[00:20] (Flashback) Set**
that the king is concealing
a great secret from us.
**[00:25] Anubis**
* Impossible. I could never trust*
* Set more than His Majesty.*
**[00:30] Anubis**
*And yet...*
**[00:31] Set**
**You *should know the truth about the king.*

**[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!

**[00:13] Subject A**
What?!
**[00:14] Subject B**
What's a human doing there?!
**[00:16] Subject C**
Where's the king?!
**[00:17] Subject D**
It can't be! His Majesty turned into a human?!
**[00:21] Sariphi**
Quickly! Come with me!
**[00:29] Lanteveldt**
Sariphi!
**[00:32] Sariphi**
Cy!
**[00:38] Sariphi**
*What's going on?*
**[00:40] Sariphi**
*Why... Why is this happening?*
**[00:45] Sariphi**
*The sky is... blue?!*
***SIGN*** Flight and the Justice's Ambition
**[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
to the sky on purpose?

**[05:52] Sariphi**
Bennu, keep an eye on His Majesty for me!
**[05:56] Sariphi**
There's a town.
**[05:58] Sariphi**
I hope I can get some food there.
**[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?
**[07:13] Subject G**
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!
**[07:23] Mal**
Give back my baby!
**[07:25] El**
Mommy!
**[07:28] Sorting Squad Member B**
Don't touch me, lower-class scum!
**[07:30] Mal**
Stop!
**[07:34] Sorting Squad Member B**
A human?!
**[07:35] Sorting Squad Member A**
Wh-What's a human doing here?
**[07:37] Sorting Squad Member B**
You must be the girl who ran
off with the human king!
**[07:41] Cy**
S-Sari!
**[07:43] Sariphi**
He isn't the "human king."
**[07:46] Sariphi**
He's *your* king!
**[07:49] Sariphi**
Why do you have to do all this just
because he has human blood in him?!
**[07:54] Sariphi**
His Majesty has been working hard
for all of you all this time!
**[07:57] Sariphi**
Why don't you understand that?!
**[08:01] Sorting Squad Captain**
S-Silence, human!
We'll execute you here and now!
**[08:04] Cy**
Sari!
**[08:08] Sariphi**
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,

**[00:00] Leonhart**
Open the gates!
**[00:02] Leonhart**
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!
**[00:17] Guards**
To the gates!
**[00:18] Guards**
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.

**[00:00] (Flashback) Set's Mother**
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.
