[00:13] Subject A
    What?!
[00:14] Subject B
    What's a human doing there?!
[00:16] Subject C
    Where's the king?!
[00:17] Subject D
    It can't be! His Majesty turned into a human?!
[00:21] Sariphi
    Quickly! Come with me!
[00:29] Lanteveldt
    Sariphi!
[00:32] Sariphi
    Cy!
[00:38] Sariphi
    What's going on?
[00:40] Sariphi
    Why... Why is this happening?
[00:45] Sariphi
    The sky is... blue?!
SIGN    Flight and the Justice's Ambition
[00:56] Anubis
    Damn you! What have you
    done to His Majesty?!
[00:59] Set
    Me? Nothing.
[01:01] Anubis
    Lies! This must have been your scheme!
[01:06] Anubis
    You visited the forbidden archive to learn
    sinister magics from sealed tomes.
[01:13] Anubis
    And you used them to trap
    His Majesty in that form!
[01:18] Set
    I always knew you had a keen mind.
[01:21] Set
    However, your reasoning falls a step short.
[01:23] Anubis
    What?!
[01:24] Set
    I admit that I employed forbidden arts,
    but I've done nothing to the king.
[01:30] Set
    All I did was temporarily dispel
    the miasma that covers this land,
[01:36] Set
    recreating the conditions
    of a night of revelation.
[01:41] Set
    I shouldn't need to remind you
    that on every night of revelation,
[01:44] Set
    the king hides himself away for some reason.
[01:48] Set
    Do you see why that it is now?
[01:52] Anubis
    How da—
[01:53] Set
    That is what I sought to discover.
[01:57] Set
    A royal secret so great that the king
    needed to hide it at all costs.
[02:02] Anubis
    Impossible!
[02:04] Anubis
    You expect me to believe that... 
    that is His Majesty's true form?!
[02:12] Set
    Exactly. You've witnessed the
    evidence with your own eyes.
[02:18] Set
    This is the indisputable truth.
[02:23] Clops
    Hey, you! What'd you throw Cy at Sari for?!
[02:27] Lanteveldt
    Moron.
[02:28] Lanteveldt
    We're gonna follow Sariphi and the king.
[02:30] Lanteveldt
    Your link to Blob No. 1 will let us...
[02:33] Lanteveldt
    Wh-What do you guys want?!
[02:35] Jormungand
    What are you doing?!
[02:37] Jormungand
    This emergency is no time for infighting!
[02:40] Jormungand
    Hurry down to the square
    and pacify the people!
[02:43] Guard A
    We're acting on orders from Justice Set.
[02:46] Jormungand
    Set?
[02:47] Set
    Silence!
[02:51] Set
    I am Justice Set.
[02:53] Set
    Due to these unforeseen circumstances,
    I hereby declare a state of emergency,
[02:58] Set
    during which I will serve as acting king.
[03:03] Jormungand
    Set is taking the king's place?!
[03:06] Jormungand
    What's going on here, Abi?!
[03:09] Set
    There is a reason that Chancellor
    Anubis, who stands with me,
[03:13] Set
    selected me to carry out this great duty.
[03:16] Set
    Namely, that I alone have an accurate
    understanding of our present situation.
[03:23] Set
    The shocking sight that you just
    witnessed was indeed our king.
[03:30] Set
    You saw the other bloodline
    in His Majesty's veins.
[03:35] Set
    Beast and human blood never mix.
    They remain two separate halves.
[03:41] Set
    And when the miasma clears,
    the king's magic weakens greatly,
[03:47] Set
    and he becomes unable to
    maintain his beastly form.
[03:51] Amit
    His Majesty is part human?
[03:54] Set
    But the greatest issue is that
    no record or trace attests
[04:00] Set
    to a liaison between our
    previous king and any human.
[04:04] Amit
    What?
[04:05] Set
    And the same is true of our previous queen.
[04:08] Set
    In other words, the person we called
    our king has no true royal blood.
[04:14] Set
    He is a fake, plain and simple!
[04:18] Clops
    What? That's a lie!
[04:22] Set
    Even more chilling, he sought
    to take a human consort
[04:27] Set
    and usurp the realm of
    beasts with human blood.
[04:32] Set
    That is not our king.
[04:34] Set
    He is an enemy to beastkind!
[04:38] Set
    Now, allow me to issue my
    first order as acting king.
[04:43] Set
    Seize the villain who posed
    as our king this instant,
[04:47] Set
    along with the human girl
    who abetted his escape!
[04:55] Sariphi
    This is the cave you took me to yesterday.
[04:57] Sariphi
    I'm sure we'll be safe here.
[05:01] Sariphi
    They saw. Everyone saw His Majesty's secret.
[05:06] Sariphi
    What now? What should we do?
[05:13] Sariphi
    No.
[05:14] Sariphi
    I don't know why this happened
    or what to do about it,
[05:19] Sariphi
    but His Majesty is more scared
    and uncertain than anyone.
[05:22] Sariphi
    I need to keep it together!
[05:26] Sariphi
    I'll take a look outside.
    Let me borrow your cloak, okay?
[05:33] Sariphi
    The sky is still clear.
[05:36] Bennu
    I doubt there's anything
    natural about this, girlie.
[05:39] Sariphi
    Huh?
[05:40] Bennu
    It's a spell or something.
    An artificial force at work.
[05:44] Sariphi
    You mean... someone did this
    to the sky on purpose?

[05:49] 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,
