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