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