[00:01] Clops
    The founder of Ozmargo—our first king—
    and his queen consort.
[00:07] Clops
    Endless power struggles consumed beastkind
    until this great hero united us.
[00:14] Cy
    First king, hero!
[00:16] Sariphi
    And his queen took up a
    sword to guard his back.
[00:20] Sariphi
    I knew about them from history books,
[00:23] Sariphi
    but it's still kind of amazing to see.
[00:26] Sariphi
    Still, I had no idea this
    statue was in the palace.
[00:30] Sariphi
    I've never been allowed in here,
    even for Duke Galois's visit.
[00:33] Clops
    This is a sacred place.
[00:35] Clops
    It's only opened for royal
    birthdays and coronations,
[00:38] Clops
    or in the lead-up to the Grand Consecration.
[00:41] Sariphi
    What's that?
[00:43] Clops
    Officially, it's the "Grand Consecration
    in Memory of Ozmargo's Founding."
[00:46] Clops
    Not only royalty and nobility
    from vassal states,
[00:49] Clops
    but also the common people of Ozmargo
    gather in the palace for a grand celebration.
[00:54] Sariphi
    No wonder everyone here
    has been so busy lately.
[00:58] Sariphi
    I haven't seen His Majesty all day.
[01:00] Clops
    His Majesty must be having his regalia fitted.
[01:04] Sariphi
    What regalia?
[01:05] Clops
    During the rites of the Grand Consecration,
[01:08] Clops
    kings customarily wear
    the first king's clothes.
[01:11] Clops
    And one day, Sari,
    you'll wear the first queen's—
[01:13] Sariphi
    The king is dressing up?
[01:15] Sariphi
    Okay! Let's go take a look!
[01:16] Clops
    What?
[01:18] Clops
    W-Wait, Sari!
[01:20] Cy
    Ri!
SIGN    Day of Festival and Revelation
[02:58] Cy
    Sari, no!
[03:00] Clops
    His Majesty will be furious
    if you spy on him dressing!
[03:04] Sariphi
    But I want to see what he's going to wear!
[03:08] Sariphi
    Hello. Are you here, Your Majesty?
[03:11] Leonhart
    Sariphi? What is it?
[03:16] Sariphi
    I came to see you try on your fancy clothes.
[03:19] Sariphi
    Will you wear that to
    the Grand Consecration?
[03:22] Leonhart
    Yes. Why?
[03:23] Sariphi
    Oh, wow!
[03:25] Sariphi
    You look so dashing, like a real hero!
[03:27] Sariphi
    I love it, sire!
[03:33] Leonhart
    All but Sariphi, leave us.
[03:36] Maid A
    Y-Yes, sire.
[03:38] Sariphi
    Sire?
[03:39] Sariphi
    What's—
[03:43] Sariphi
    Oh, is he embar—
[03:48] Sariphi
    You really do look great, sire!
[03:53] Sariphi
    The wind sure is strong today.
[03:56] Leonhart
    The skies will grow even more turbulent
[03:59] Leonhart
    until, at last, a storm drives
    the miasma from the realm.
[04:04] Leonhart
    I believe this will be a night of revelation.
[04:07] Sariphi
    A night of revelation... When His Majesty
    loses his beast form and powers...
[04:21] Leonhart
    This weak circle isn't even a consolation.
[04:25] Leonhart
    But this is my limit in human form.
[04:27] Leonhart
    If I'm found like this...
[04:34] Sariphi
    Oh, thank goodness!
[04:35] Sariphi
    I found you, Leo.
[04:37] Leonhart
    Sariphi...
[04:39] Sariphi
    Amit taught me how to bake these,
    and I wanted to eat them with you.
[04:45] Sariphi
    And you have a long night ahead of you.
[04:50] Leonhart
    I am... frightened.
[04:52] Leonhart
    I cannot survive here without
    my power as the king of beasts.
[04:57] Leonhart
    In this all-too-fragile, incomplete form,
    I can only hold my breath in the dark.
[05:06] Sariphi
    Once the beasts all accept me, a human,
[05:10] Sariphi
    I'm sure you won't have
    to hide like this anymore.
[05:13] Sariphi
    So have faith and be patient.
[05:17] Leonhart
    Touch my hand.
[05:21] Leonhart
    Well?
[05:22] Sariphi
    It feels normal.
[05:24] Leonhart
    To my shame, on the night before
    every previous Grand Consecration,
[05:28] Leonhart
    my fingers would grow cold and tremble.
[05:32] Sariphi
    Because you were nervous?
[05:34] Sariphi
    About appearing at the ceremony?
[05:36] Leonhart
    Yes. And not only the Grand Consecration.
[05:40] Leonhart
    I always felt that way
    before facing my people.
[05:44] Leonhart
    Knowing their countless gazes
    would bore into me at once,
[05:47] Leonhart
    I feared that one day, someone would see me
[05:50] Leonhart
    for the empty, impure king I am,
    and that I would lose everything.
[05:57] Leonhart
    But now I have you.
[06:00] Leonhart
    My fingers no longer grow cold or tremble.
[06:03] Leonhart
    Even if you aren't at my side tomorrow,
    I can sense your heart.
[06:08] Leonhart
    I'm always under your protection.
[06:14] Leonhart
    Come closer. Keep me warm.
[06:18] Sariphi
    Leo.
[06:20] Sariphi
    I'm always protected by your kindness, too.
[06:24] Sariphi
    I may not be able to stand at
    your side now, but one day...
[06:37] Sariphi
    Good morning, Leo.
[06:40] Sariphi
    Huh?
[06:41] Sariphi
    Human?
[06:44] Sariphi
    He's still in human form? Why?
[06:47] Sariphi
    What should I do?!
[06:49] Avian Child
    Hey, Dad, why's the sky blue?
[06:54] Canine Elder
    Now this is a rare sight.
    It must have been centuries
[06:58] Canine Elder
    since the revelation last
    persisted past daybreak.
[07:02] Sariphi
    So, because last night's storm
    blew all the miasma away,
[07:06] Sariphi
    you can't turn back into a beast?
[07:09] Leonhart
    That's the only explanation I can think of.
[07:11] Sariphi
    Then... you'll be stuck
    in human form forever?
[07:14] Leonhart
    The miasma will begin to fill
    the air again, given time.
[07:18] Leonhart
    Then my magic will return naturally,
    and I'll regain my beastly form.
[07:23] Sariphi
    Really? In that case, all you
    need to do is hide until then.
[07:27] Leonhart
    Not quite.
[07:29] Anubis
    Haven't you located His Majesty yet?!
[07:31] Maid
    He isn't in his chambers.
[07:34] Vassal B
    Nor in the audience chamber!
    Nor in the great hall!
[07:37] Anubis
    But the ceremony is beginning
    in less than an hour!
[07:41] Amit
    Lady Sariphi is missing, as well.
    What in the world could have happened?
[07:46] Cy; Clops
    Sari!
[07:47] Anubis
    The bell to ring in the Grand Consecration
[07:50] Anubis
    sounds twelve times at the exact hour
    our first king proclaimed this realm.
[07:56] Anubis
    No king in our history been so
    much as a second late for it.
[07:59] Anubis
    We cannot let this be the first time!
[08:02] Anubis
    Already, many subjects eagerly
    await His Majesty's arrival.
[08:06] Anubis
    Search every nook and cranny of the palace!
[08:08] Vassal A
    B-But, my Lord Chancellor,
    we've done all we can.
[08:11] Set
    Have you searched below ground?
[08:14] Anubis
    Set.
[08:15] Set
    The subterranean altar chamber
    is ordinarily off limits.
[08:21] Set
    Where better to meditate before
    a ritual of great importance?
[08:26] Set
    And perhaps His Majesty has
    simply lost track of the time.
[08:31] Vassal B
    Lord Chancellor...
[08:34] Anubis
    Very well.
[08:35] Anubis
    This is an emergency.
    I'll assume responsibility.
[08:38] Anubis
    We shall go to the altar.
[08:41] Vassal C
    Your Majesty! Are you here?!
[08:43] Vassal C
    Your Majesty!
[08:45] Anubis
    We've no choice. Force it open!
[08:47] Vassal C
    Yes, sir!
[08:52] Anubis
    He's not here, either?
[08:54] Anubis
    Let us go!
[09:03] Sariphi
    Wow, a secret passage!
[09:06] Sariphi
    Is this how you let sacrifices escape, sire?
[09:11] Leonhart
    I never dreamed I'd use it myself.
[09:24] Vassal D
    How have we still not found him?
[09:26] Vassal E
    Where can His Majesty have gone?
[09:31] Sariphi
    Ah! You startled me!
[09:33] Vassal D
    No, you startled us!
[09:35] Vassal E
    Where did you come from?
[09:36] Sariphi
    C-Captain...
[09:38] Jormungand
    Lady Human. Isn't His Majesty with you?
[09:41] Sariphi
    W-Well, you see, I've been l-looking
    for him all morning, too.
[09:45] Sariphi
    But it looks like he's not over here.
[09:46] Sariphi
    Yup! Nowhere in sight!
[09:51] Jormungand
    I see.
[09:52] Jormungand
    Let's go.
[09:58] Sariphi
    The coast is clear.
[10:00] Leonhart
    But we're still in danger here.
[10:02] Leonhart
    Is there nowhere else we can hide?
[10:08] Sariphi
    They've already searched here,
    so it should be fine.
[10:13] Sariphi
    Leo?
[10:18] Sariphi
    What's wrong, Leo? Hang in there!
[10:28] Sariphi
    Leo! You're turning back into a beast.
[10:32] Sariphi
    Thank goodness! Now you can
    make it to the ceremony.
[10:35] Leonhart
    No, the bell will start to ring at any moment.
[10:39] Leonhart
    Even if I regain my beastly form by then,
[10:43] Leonhart
    I can't possibly dress and make my entrance
    before the twelve chimes end.
[10:49] Sariphi
    Don't say that! I know we can find a way!
[10:52] Leonhart
    You don't understand.
[10:54] Leonhart
    Even if I'm in time, would it be right?
[10:59] Leonhart
    Does a king who troubles
    those he ought to protect
[11:01] Leonhart
    because he can't control his own form
[11:04] Leonhart
    have any right to stand before his people?
[11:10] Sariphi
    Leo,
[11:12] Sariphi
    I think you're a truly great king.
[11:16] Sariphi
    But not because you look strong
    or wear magnificent armor.
[11:22] Sariphi
    Look.
[11:25] Sariphi
    You've stopped trembling.
[11:31] Sariphi
    What's wrong?
[11:33] Leonhart
    Someone's coming!
[11:34] Sariphi
    I'll delay them. Trust me.
[11:37] Leonhart
    Sari...
[11:51] Set
    Why, Lady Sariphi.
[11:54] Set
    I don't believe we've spoken
    personally before.
[11:58] Sariphi
    Who are you?
[11:59] Set
    Pardon my late introduction.
[12:02] Set
    I am Set, a humble justice.
[12:06] Set
    It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[12:08] Sariphi
    A judge? And what brings
    you here, Mr. Justice?
[12:13] Sariphi
    Everyone in the palace
    is looking for His Majesty.
[12:15] Set
    Indeed.
[12:17] Set
    I turned back because I couldn't
    stop wondering about this room.
[12:22] Set
    And my instincts, it seems,
    have served me well.
[12:26] Set
    I sense someone's magic
    from within, albeit faintly.
[12:31] Sariphi
    H-His Majesty, um, said that he wants
    to concentrate before the ceremony.
[12:37] Set
    Oh, but what good will that
    do if he arrives late?
[12:41] Set
    I have heard many desperate people
    speak in the course of my duties.
[12:47] Set
    And you, Lady Sariphi, are a poor liar.
[12:52] Set
    But please, do not misunderstand me.
[12:54] Set
    While the chancellor fears only
    an interruption in the ceremony,
[13:00] Set
    my concern is purely for His Majesty's safety.
[13:04] Set
    If he is experiencing any difficulty,
[13:06] Set
    I dearly wish to be of assistance.
[13:09] Set
    Surely you feel the same way.
[13:12] Set
    Now, Lady Sariphi,
[13:14] Set
    would you kindly open that door?
[13:18] Sariphi
    No!
[13:20] Set
    Then I suppose I have no choice.
[13:22] Set
    I do not wish to manhandle one who may
    be our future queen, but needs must.
[13:29] Set
    Have no fear. They are my men.
[13:32] Set
    Now, open this door.
[13:37] Sariphi
    Stop!
[13:38] Sariphi
    Don't!
[13:46] Vassal F
    Y-Your Majesty!
[13:49] Vassal G
    A th-thousand pardons.
[13:51] Set
    I thought I'd find Your Majesty here.
[13:54] Set
    What have you been doing all this time?
[13:59] Sariphi
    The bell!
[14:00] Set
    It seems I was a little too late.
[14:02] Set
    You will never arrive in time for the
    ceremony if you start dressing now.
[14:07] Leonhart
    No, I will go as I am.
[14:09] Vassal H
    Y-You mustn't.
[14:10] Vassal I
    R-Respectfully, sire,
    you are hardly attired for—
[14:13] Leonhart
    Whatever my appearance, I am king.
[14:18] Leonhart
    Is that not so, Sariphi?
[14:20] Sariphi
    Yup!
[14:26] Beast A
    The bell! It's almost time!
[14:28] Beast B
    I can't wait to see his regal figure again.
[14:31] Beast C
    Still, it's odd.
[14:33] Beast C
    The king usually comes out
    as soon as the bell rings,
[14:37] Beast C
    but I don't see him yet.
[14:40] Clops
    It's hopeless now!
[14:42] Vassal A
    Lord Chancellor...
[14:43] Anubis
    He'll never make it!
    Now that it's come to this...
[14:47] Anubis
    Stop the bell now! Cancel the ceremony!
[14:49] Vassal B
    Lord Chancellor!
[14:55] Beast A
    It's the king! That's his holy beast!
[14:59] Beast B
    What divine splendor!
[15:01] Beast C
    Your Majesty!
[15:03] Beast C
    Huh?!
[15:14] Beast A
    Wh-What? He's not in full regalia.
[15:17] Beast B
    But Ozmargo's Grand Consecration
    is a time-honored tradition.
[15:20] Beast C
    Why would he come looking like that?
[15:23] Anubis
    Your Majesty, what is the meaning of...
[15:41] Leonhart
    Today, I have cast off the armor
    of our founding king.
[15:46] Leonhart
    But not out of disrespect for tradition.
[15:51] Leonhart
    This realm is our first king's legacy.
    My duty is to defend and strengthen it.
[15:59] Leonhart
    But I cannot do so by merely treading
    in the footsteps of my forefathers.
[16:05] Leonhart
    Rigid adherence to precedent
    will leave it merely a shell,
[16:10] Leonhart
    which will ultimately encase our
    minds in stubborn clannishness.
[16:14] Leonhart
    To change for defense
    and defend through change:
[16:18] Leonhart
    that is what it truly means to honor tradition.
[16:21] Leonhart
    Unless we change, unless we progress,
    we can blaze no trails!
[16:28] Leonhart
    Follow me! I shall clear the briars
    and forge a path for you to tread.
[16:34] Leonhart
    It will lead us to the future
    we should strive for!
[16:43] Beasts
    Your Majesty!
[16:44] Beasts
    Long live the king!
[16:45] Beasts
    Ozmargo forever!
[16:47] Beasts
    Your Majesty!
[16:48] Beasts
    Your Majesty!
[16:50] Beasts
    Your Majesty!
[16:51] Beasts
    Long live the king!
[16:54] Sariphi
    His Majesty is amazing.
[16:58] Amit
    What a lovely speech that was, Lady Sariphi.
[17:02] Amit
    Lady Sariphi?
[17:04] Sariphi
    I want to go.
[17:06] Sariphi
    I...
[17:07] Sariphi
    I want to be there, too.
[17:11] Sariphi
    At his side.
[17:15] Anubis
    A magnificent address, sire.
[17:17] Anubis
    But when you make such bold plans, I wish
    you would inform me of them beforehand.
[17:24] Leonhart
    You would have objected if I'd told you.
[17:27] Leonhart
    Besides...
[17:28] Sariphi
    Sire!
[17:32] Leonhart
    Something Sariphi said gave me the idea.
[17:36] Leonhart
    A king must do more than dress
    magnificently for his people.
[17:41] Anubis
    No wonder, then.
[17:43] Anubis
    I, Anubis, am deeply impressed.
[17:46] Sariphi
    Mr. Chancellor gave me a normal compliment.
[17:49] Sariphi
    I thought you'd be waiting to
    bully me with another ordeal.
[17:54] Anubis
    Another day, perhaps.
[17:58] Anubis
    For the present, your ordeals are at an end.
[18:01] Sariphi
    Huh?
[18:02] Sariphi
    But all I've done is summon Bennu
    and entertain Duke Galois.
[18:09] Anubis
    Henceforth, you will take your place
    as acting queen consort.
[18:15] Sariphi
    Acting queen consort?
[18:18] Anubis
    Precisely.
[18:19] Anubis
    But I ask that you nevertheless perform
    all of a queen's public duties.
[18:25] Anubis
    Should you do so without incident
    until the next Grand Consecration,
[18:30] Anubis
    we shall recognize you
    as queen consort in full.
[18:34] Anubis
    However, your public presence
    as acting queen consort
[18:39] Anubis
    will naturally entail revealing
    your existence to the people.
[18:43] Anubis
    Harsh protest from many
    quarters will be unavoidable.
[18:47] Anubis
    If you should fail to perform
    your queenly duties
[18:50] Anubis
    and seriously tarnish
    His Majesty's reputation,
[18:55] Anubis
    I shall return you to Yoana.
[18:59] Sariphi
    To the human realm?
[19:02] Anubis
    That said, there is a way
    for you to remain in this land.
[19:06] Anubis
    You could decline to become
    acting queen consort.
[19:10] Anubis
    In that case, I will ask His Majesty
    to take a formal wife.
[19:14] Anubis
    And you...
[19:15] Anubis
    may have a position as His Majesty's pet.
[19:26] Leonhart
    This is Sariphi's dilemma.
    All I can do is accept
[19:33] Leonhart
    the answer her heart gives.
[19:36] Anubis
    This is a considerable gamble
    for me, as well.
[19:40] Anubis
    Now, what will you do,
[19:41] Anubis
    wench?
[19:44] Sariphi
    If I agree to be acting queen
    consort and can't do it right,
[19:48] Sariphi
    I won't even be allowed
    to live in this realm.
[19:51] Sariphi
    If I give up on becoming queen,
    I can at least stay here.
[19:57] Sariphi
    But...
[20:02] Bennu
    Hey.
[20:04] Sariphi
    Huh? Bennu?
[20:07] Bennu
    What're you brooding for?
[20:09] Bennu
    You know what you gotta say.
[20:13] Bennu
    Go on. Queen it up.
[20:16] Bennu
    This country's like a big, stagnant pool.
[20:20] Bennu
    You'll never get anywhere unless
    you make a splash and stir things up.
[20:27] Sariphi
    But...
[20:28] Bennu
    Missy,
[20:31] Bennu
    clench your teeth for me, wouldya?
[20:33] Sariphi
    Huh?
[20:37] Bennu
    Well?! Hurts, doesn't it?!
SIGN    m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN    In no pain
    whatsoever
[20:39] Sariphi
    Huh? Nope.
[20:41] Bennu
    Well, the wingtip I socked you with
    sure does, nincompoop!
[20:45] Bennu
    You're no sorry excuse
    for a sacrifice anymore.
[20:48] Bennu
    So hold your head high and say,
[20:50] Bennu
    "I'm the only one who can make
    His Majesty into a great king!"
[20:57] Sariphi
    Only me?
[20:59] (Flashback) Leonhart
    Remember this:
[21:00] (Flashback) Leonhart
    the only woman I desire is you, Sariphi.
[21:06] Sariphi
    That's right.
[21:17] Sariphi
    Leo only wants me.
[21:23] Anubis
    Wen—Lady Sariphi,
    where did you come from?
[21:27] Sariphi
    Your Majesty! I'll do it!
[21:29] Sariphi
    I don't know if I'll be any good,
    but I'll be the best acting queen I can!
[21:34] Sariphi
    So...
[21:36] Sariphi
    So have faith and be patient!
[21:38] Sariphi
    Let me stay with you!
[21:42] Leonhart
    I've been waiting for that answer.
[21:45] Leonhart
    Your previous ordeals
    were assigned to you alone.
[21:49] Leonhart
    I could only gnash my teeth and watch.
[21:54] Leonhart
    But a king shares responsibility with
    his chosen consort, acting or not.
[22:00] Leonhart
    This is a test of me, as well.
[22:03] Leonhart
    Sariphi, I will always be with you.
[22:09] Sariphi
    From now on, the two of us
[22:12] Sariphi
    will share the same burden.
[23:26] Anubis
    You accepted the post?!
    You've gone too far, wench!
[23:30] Anubis
    I hope you disgrace yourself on your first—
[23:32] Anubis
    What is this strange presence I sense?!
[23:34] Amit
    Lord Chancellor, would you
    care for one of my amulets?
