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.

[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
[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...

    little fool!

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

    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.

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

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

[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?

[00:04] 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

[00:28] Leonhart
    If they still object to her, then so be it.

[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.
SIGN    NUZZLE
[17:25] Sariphi
    Huh?
SIGN    NUZZLE NUZZLE
[17:26] Sariphi
    Um, s-sire?
SIGN    NUZZLE NUZZLE
[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"!

    Are you that desperate to

[04:51] Sariphi
    Your mother?
[04:52] Sariphi
    Oh, that's right. I was having so

[04:58] Tetra
    Hey, wai—

    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?

[14:31] Clops
    That does happen sometimes,
[14:34] Clops
    but usually, children take after the
    parent with the stronger bloodline.
[14:37] Sariphi
    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.

    I guess you're right.

[14:55] Tetra
    Don't start acting bashful now!
    You'll give me secondhand embarrassment!
[15:01] Sariphi
    I guess I'd never thought
    it through that far.
[15:06] Sariphi
    Doing my duty so I could stay with His
    Majesty was all I could think about.
[15:12] Sariphi
    But if...
[15:15] Sariphi
    if I could start a real family
    with him someday, then...
[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

[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!

[01:24] Sariphi

[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.

[00:04] 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

    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.

    I've never seen real ones before!
[00:04] Clops

    Yup, although probably not as big as these.

[00:24] Sariphi
    Bennu says his power is regeneration,
[00:27] Sariphi
    so he can cure injuries, but not queasiness.

[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.

[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!

[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.

    I knew it. Not a single trace

[20:20] Set
    Where and when they gave birth, the
    weather at the time, the attending priest...

    recorded are conspicuously missing.
[20:31] Set
    And for only one royal.
[20:34] Set
    Yes,

[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!

    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,

    That's why I said to hang on tight, dimwit!

    You there! Miss!
[00:22] Merchant
    You look like a pilgrim to me.

[00:27] Sariphi
    Huh?

[00:30] Merchant

    Now, if you'll excuse me.

    Are you on a pilgrimage?

    No, I'm—

    That's in the hills outside of town,

    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.

[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?

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

[00:56] Anubis
    Damn you! What have you
    done to His Majesty?!
[00:59] Set
    Me? Nothing.
[01:01] Anubis
    Lies! This must have been your scheme!
[01:06] Anubis
    You visited the forbidden archive to learn
    sinister magics from sealed tomes.
[01:13] Anubis
    And you used them to trap
    His Majesty in that form!
[01:18] Set
    I always knew you had a keen mind.
[01:21] Set
    However, your reasoning falls a step short.
[01:23] Anubis
    What?!
[01:24] Set
    I admit that I employed forbidden arts,
    but I've done nothing to the king.
[01:30] Set
    All I did was temporarily dispel
    the miasma that covers this land,
[01:36] Set
    recreating the conditions
    of a night of revelation.
[01:41] Set
    I shouldn't need to remind you
    that on every night of revelation,
[01:44] Set
    the king hides himself away for some reason.
[01:48] Set
    Do you see why that it is now?
[01:52] Anubis
    How da—
[01:53] Set
    That is what I sought to discover.
[01:57] Set
    A royal secret so great that the king
    needed to hide it at all costs.
[02:02] Anubis
    Impossible!
[02:04] Anubis
    You expect me to believe that... 
    that is His Majesty's true form?!
[02:12] Set
    Exactly. You've witnessed the
    evidence with your own eyes.
[02:18] Set
    This is the indisputable truth.
[02:23] Clops
    Hey, you! What'd you throw Cy at Sari for?!
[02:27] Lanteveldt
    Moron.
[02:28] Lanteveldt
    We're gonna follow Sariphi and the king.
[02:30] Lanteveldt
    Your link to Blob No. 1 will let us...
[02:33] Lanteveldt
    Wh-What do you guys want?!
[02:35] Jormungand
    What are you doing?!
[02:37] Jormungand
    This emergency is no time for infighting!
[02:40] Jormungand
    Hurry down to the square
    and pacify the people!
[02:43] Guard A
    We're acting on orders from Justice Set.
[02:46] Jormungand
    Set?
[02:47] Set
    Silence!
[02:51] Set
    I am Justice Set.
[02:53] Set
    Due to these unforeseen circumstances,
    I hereby declare a state of emergency,
[02:58] Set
    during which I will serve as acting king.
[03:03] Jormungand
    Set is taking the king's place?!
[03:06] Jormungand
    What's going on here, Abi?!
[03:09] Set
    There is a reason that Chancellor
    Anubis, who stands with me,
[03:13] Set
    selected me to carry out this great duty.
[03:16] Set
    Namely, that I alone have an accurate
    understanding of our present situation.
[03:23] Set
    The shocking sight that you just
    witnessed was indeed our king.
[03:30] Set
    You saw the other bloodline
    in His Majesty's veins.
[03:35] Set
    Beast and human blood never mix.
    They remain two separate halves.
[03:41] Set
    And when the miasma clears,
    the king's magic weakens greatly,
[03:47] Set
    and he becomes unable to
    maintain his beastly form.
[03:51] Amit
    His Majesty is part human?
[03:54] Set
    But the greatest issue is that
    no record or trace attests
[04:00] Set
    to a liaison between our
    previous king and any human.
[04:04] Amit
    What?
[04:05] Set
    And the same is true of our previous queen.
[04:08] Set
    In other words, the person we called
    our king has no true royal blood.
[04:14] Set
    He is a fake, plain and simple!
[04:18] Clops
    What? That's a lie!
[04:22] Set
    Even more chilling, he sought
    to take a human consort
[04:27] Set
    and usurp the realm of
    beasts with human blood.
[04:32] Set
    That is not our king.
[04:34] Set
    He is an enemy to beastkind!
[04:38] Set
    Now, allow me to issue my
    first order as acting king.
[04:43] Set
    Seize the villain who posed
    as our king this instant,
[04:47] Set
    along with the human girl
    who abetted his escape!
[04:55] Sariphi
    This is the cave you took me to yesterday.
[04:57] Sariphi
    I'm sure we'll be safe here.
[05:01] Sariphi
    They saw. Everyone saw His Majesty's secret.
[05:06] Sariphi
    What now? What should we do?
[05:13] Sariphi
    No.
[05:14] Sariphi
    I don't know why this happened
    or what to do about it,
[05:19] Sariphi
    but His Majesty is more scared
    and uncertain than anyone.
[05:22] Sariphi
    I need to keep it together!
[05:26] Sariphi
    I'll take a look outside.
    Let me borrow your cloak, okay?
[05:33] Sariphi
    The sky is still clear.
[05:36] Bennu
    I doubt there's anything
    natural about this, girlie.
[05:39] Sariphi
    Huh?
[05:40] Bennu
    It's a spell or something.
    An artificial force at work.
[05:44] Sariphi
    You mean... someone did this
    to the sky on purpose?
SIGN    GROWL
SIGN    GRGL
SIGN    GRGL
[05:49] Sariphi
    First things first. We need to eat.
SIGN    GRGL
SIGN    GRGL
[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,

[00:02] 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.
