[00:01] Dezastol
    I have had a long life.
[00:06] Dezastol
    Because I've lived so long, I've learned
    that the world is beyond my control.
[00:13] Dezastol
    So I fought.
[00:17] Dezastol
    As ruler, as protector, as heir...
[00:24] Dezastol
    I fought, and fought, and kept fighting...
[00:37] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
    Let's stop this stupid war.
[00:42] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
    I'd rather sit down and have a talk with you.
[00:47] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Setsu...
[00:51] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
    Here.
[00:57] (Flashback) Dezastol
    What is this?
[01:01] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
    A token of reconciliation.
[01:03] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
    I think black would look great on you, Dezas.
[01:06] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Setsu...
[01:09] Dezastol
    I thought what I needed
    to do to live my life
[01:12] Dezastol
    was give up what makes me me*.

[01:25] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Missing?
[01:27] (Flashback) Vlad
    Yes.
[01:28] (Flashback) Vlad
    We did all we could, but couldn't find him.
[01:30] (Flashback) Vlad
    It seems like Distinia has
    no idea where he is, either.
[01:35] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Enough.
[01:44] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Even if we never meet again, I will keep
     the promise of peace I made to you...
[01:51] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Setsu.
[01:54] (Flashback) Dezastol
    We did strike a peace deal,
[01:56] (Flashback) Dezastol
    but there's still much to do before
    we achieve true, lasting peace.
[02:00] (Flashback) Dezastol
    We must redouble our efforts, Vlad.
[02:01] (Flashback) Vlad
    Yes! I, Vlad, will lay down my life for this!
[02:09] (Flashback) Demon Civilian
    Lord Dezastol!
[02:11] (Flashback) Demon Civilian
    We have fresh fruit from Distinia today!
[02:14] (Flashback) Beastman Civilian
    My lord! The meat from my homeland
    is fresh and tasty, too!
[02:21] (Flashback) Vlad
    It has been five years
    since the end of the war.
[02:23] (Flashback) Vlad
    It's great to see our
    nation prosper like this.
[02:25] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Yes. Everyone worked so hard. War is—
[02:40] (Flashback) Vlad
    My lord?
[02:43] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Perhaps I've spent too much time wearing it.
[02:49] (Flashback) Vlad
    I heard there is a skilled
    jeweler in Distinia.
[02:53] (Flashback) Vlad
    I'll send it out for repairs.
[02:55] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Thank you. Sorry to send
    you on a personal errand.

[04:48] (Flashback) Messenger Soldier
    Reporting! A Distinian army has
    appeared and invaded us!
[04:54] (Flashback) Messenger Soldier
    Battle rages as we speak,
    just outside of Evilbarrow!
[04:59] (Flashback) Vlad
    Only five years after the peace charter?
[05:02] (Flashback) Vlad
    How frail this peace was.
[05:05] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Let's not jump to conclusions.
[05:09] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Gather all the top officers immediately!
[05:11] (Flashback) Dezastol
    We will prepare our army!
[05:13] (Flashback) Vlad; Ides; Lily
    Yes, my lord!
[05:14] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Zeon and Lamina,
    head to Distinia immediately.
[05:18] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Something is suspicious.
[05:20] (Flashback) Dezastol
    We must first find out what's going on.
[05:22] (Flashback) Zeon; Lamina
    Yes, my lord!
[05:30] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Setsu, I will keep our promise.
    No matter what.
[05:46] (Flashback) Demon Soldier A
    Weapons go in the first warehouse, food and
    medicine to the second warehouse! Hurry!
[05:51] (Flashback) Demon Soldier B
    We have to return to the
    front lines right away.
[05:53] (Flashback) Demon Soldier B
    Who knows if we'll come
    back alive this time...
[05:56] (Flashback) Demon Soldier C
    So there are huge, armored enemies
    that weren't there five years ago?
[06:00] (Flashback) Demon Soldier D
    What did we sign that peace charter for?
[06:03] (Flashback) Demon Soldier D
    We should never have trusted the humans.
[06:07] (Flashback) Demon Soldier E
    If a full-on war breaks out and
    destroys our supply chain, we'll...
[06:11] (Flashback) Demon Soldier F
    It's fine! As long as we buy her some time,
    the Demon Lord will take care of this.
[06:19] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Even after a month,
    there's been no contact from Distinia...
[06:26] (Flashback) Dezastol
    We're holding the line for now,
    but our nation won't last long at this rate.
[06:33] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Am I incapable of keeping
    my promise to Setsu?
[06:38] (Flashback) Vlad
    Excuse me.
[06:40] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Vlad. What is it?
[06:42] (Flashback) Vlad
    Terran Sneeter from the Terran Trading
    Company requests an audience with you.
[06:48] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Terran himself?
[06:50] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Well, I can't turn him away.
[06:53] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Let him in.
[06:54] (Flashback) Vlad
    Yes, my lord.
[07:01] (Flashback) Ides
    Are you crazy?!
[07:02] (Flashback) Lily
    Watch what you say, lowly human!
[07:05] (Flashback) Terran
    Oh, no. I am completely serious.
[07:08] (Flashback) Terran
    This is a sincere offer.
[07:12] (Flashback) Terran
    I would like to use the power of Terran
    Trading to help end the war with Distinia.
[07:19] (Flashback) Terran
    What more could a ruler ask for?
[07:23] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Using your wealth, purported
    to be the greatest in the world?
[07:27] (Flashback) Terran
    Yes. To be honest, I feel we can end
    the war outright, not just offer help.
[07:33] (Flashback) Terran
    That's how powerful the
    Terran Trading Company is.
[07:46] (Flashback) Dezastol
    And in return, you would ask...
[07:48] (Flashback) Terran
    To have you become my wife,
    Dezastol Serreno. Precisely.
[07:56] (Flashback) Dezastol
    You must mean your slave.
[08:01] (Flashback) Terran
    If it means having your beauty in my grasp,
     then you may call it whatever you wish.
[08:06] (Flashback) Terran
    Here is the necklace on which
    we will swear our vows.
[08:13] (Flashback) Vlad
    A curse of servitude?! And so powerful...
[08:16] (Flashback) Dezastol
    It seems you came well prepared.
[08:19] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Where did you get such a thing?
[08:21] (Flashback) Terran
    It did require some effort on my part,
[08:24] (Flashback) Terran
    but it was all in the name of my love for you.
[08:30] (Flashback) Vlad
    My lord, do not even entertain such nonsense!
[08:34] (Flashback) Vlad
    We must immediately take this fool and—
[08:37] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Give me some time to think.
[08:40] (Flashback) Vlad
    My lord!
[08:44] (Flashback) Terran
    I have all the time in the world.
[08:49] (Flashback) Terran
    But I wonder...
[08:51] (Flashback) Terran
    Do you have that kind of time?
[09:11] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Is this the only way I can
    keep my promise to you?
[09:19] (Flashback) Vlad
    My lord...
[09:21] (Flashback) Dezastol
    I thought I asked everyone to leave.
[09:27] (Flashback) Vlad
    There's no need for you to
    accept that ridiculous offer.
[09:30] (Flashback) Vlad
    Your army is ready to fight to the
    last man for you, myself included.
[09:38] (Flashback) Dezastol
    I know. That's why I can't refuse.
[09:55] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Do you think me a foolish woman,
    unworthy of being the Demon Lord?
[10:00] (Flashback) Vlad
    I won't give up. Please excuse me.
[10:08] (Flashback) Dezastol
    You told me black would look good on me.
[10:12] (Flashback) Dezastol
    Will you laugh when you see me wear
    white against my wishes, Setsu?
[10:20] (Flashback) Terran
    Dezastol was easier to
    convince than I expected.
[10:25] (Flashback) Terran
    It seems lending aid to your schemes through
    the Terran Trading Company will pay off.
[10:32] (Flashback) Terran
    Now the demonic nation is ours.
[10:36] (Flashback) Terran
    If we push any further,
     we might start a tiresome war.
[10:40] (Flashback) Terran
    Should we pull back those
    expensive magic soldiers?
[10:44] (Flashback) Kagerou
    No need.
[10:46] (Flashback) Terran
    Why not? You want the demonic nation,
    I want the beautiful Demon Lord.
[10:53] (Flashback) Terran
    This deal is settled, is it not?
[10:56] (Flashback) Kagerou
    Because it is the will of my master.
SIGN    —Day of the Wedding—
[11:43] Audience
    So beautiful!
[12:19] Priest
    Groom, Terran Sneeter, and bride,
     Dezastol Serreno.
[12:26] Priest
    You may now exchange your vows of love.
[12:32] Terran
    I, Terran Sneeter, and
    Demon Lord Dezastol Serreno,
[12:38] Terran
    swear today to enter into a
    vow of master and servant!
[12:43] Terran
    And the Terran Trading Company,
    through the annexation
[12:45] Terran
    of the power of the demonic
    nation of Eviltheon,
[12:48] Terran
    vows to bring eternal prosperity
    and everlasting peace to the world!
[12:58] Terran
    Now, my compatriots!
[13:00] Terran
    Pledge your allegiance to me,
     your new Demon Lord,
[13:04] Terran
    and together we will protect the world
    and leave our names in the history books!
[13:17] Terran
    Now, enough theatrics.
[13:24] Terran
    Dezastol Serreno, you will vow
    eternal love to me, Terran.
[13:48] Dezastol
    If only I could see you*
    one last time... Setsu...
[14:02] Audience A
    Wh-What?!
[14:03] Audience B
    An explosion?! Are we under attack?!
[14:20] Setsu
    I'm here to rescue you, princess.
[14:25] Dezastol
    Setsu!
[14:32] Ruri
    Vlad-san, look!
[14:35] Ruri
    That's Setsu-san, isn't it?
[14:37] Vlad
    He's as over-the-top as ever.
[14:40] Vlad
    Let's hurry.
[14:42] Terran
    Wh-What are you?!
[14:45] Terran
    What are you?!
[14:50] Terran
    Fools! Do your job! Protect me!
[15:03] Dezastol
    Levia!
[15:04] Levia
    Dezas, you really don't look good in white.
[15:08] Levia
    You should give up on
    wearing a wedding dress.
[15:15] Kagerou
    Shadow Magic: Shadow Stab.
[15:23] Levia
    I can't move?!
[15:24] Kagerou
    The god of the seas isn't
    too impressive on land, I see.
[15:34] Dezastol
    Stop!
[15:52] Setsu
    So, ready to pay for making Dezas cry?
[16:01] Kagerou
    I wasn't expecting Setsu the Hero to show up.
[16:04] Kagerou
    I'll have quite the report to give my master!
[16:07] Setsu
    Your master?
[16:14] Kagerou
    What?!
[16:29] Setsu
    Is that it? You're not even trying.
[16:34] Kagerou
    You are indeed strong,
[16:36] Kagerou
    but today I must prioritize
    notifying my master.
[16:40] Kagerou
    We'll settle this later, Setsu the Hero.
[17:00] Setsu
    Damn it, he got away.
[17:03] Dezastol
    Setsu!
[17:05] Dezastol
    I missed you! I missed you, Setsu!
[17:08] Dezastol
    Where did you go without me?!
[17:12] Setsu
    Y-Yeah, that's a long story...
[17:16] Setsu
    Anyway, I'm glad you're safe, Dezas.
[17:20] Dezas
    Yes!
[17:23] Levia
    Uh, sorry to interrupt this
    touching reunion, but...
[17:36] Dezastol
    Magic soldiers made from curses...
[17:44] Setsu
    These curses... I guess it really
    must be Toma behind the scenes.
[17:52] Dezastol
    I suspected it might be possible.
    So it really is Toma, then.
[17:57] Dezastol
    Then, as Demon Lord,
     I must lend you aid, Setsu!
[18:01] Dezastol
    He needs to pay for making me wear this.
[18:04] Setsu
    I'll let you handle things here, then.
     I'll go visit Regulus.
[18:09] Setsu
    There's no telling what Toma might try.
[18:12] Dezastol
    The Beastmen...
[18:13] Dezastol
    Yes, securing the aid of Regulus, King of
    the Beastmen, would be most reassuring.
[18:19] Dezastol
    But this all seems very rushed.
[18:22] Setsu
    We do have a promise of peace to keep.
[18:24] Dezastol
    Yes.
[18:27] Dezastol
    We must do this, for our promise.
[18:30] Levia
    Wait, are we leaving right away?
[18:33] Levia
    Am I on ferry duty again?
[18:37] Levia
    I've been running around fighting all night!
[18:41] Ruri
    Setsu-san!
[18:44] Vlad
    Oh, no! The castle is a mess!
[18:49] Ruri
    Did everything work out?
[18:51] Setsu
    Yeah. It was pretty close, though.
[18:59] Ruri
    You should be the one to give this to her.
[19:02] Ruri
    It's important, right?
[19:06] Setsu
    Yeah, thanks.
[19:12] Dezastol
    Setsu?
[19:25] Setsu
    This makes another second time.
[19:32] Dezastol
    Yes, the second time.
[19:49] Dezastol
    That's right.
[19:53] Dezastol
    Once again, you've taught me
    what it means to live.
[21:47] Dezastol
    I would have loved to accompany you,
[21:51] Dezastol
    but this is no time for the
    ruler to leave her throne.
[21:55] Setsu
    Yeah. Once we get back to peace,
    I'll take you wherever you want.
[22:02] Dezastol
    Yes. That's a promise.
[22:05] Vlad
    Well, um... Just because it's peacetime
    doesn't mean the ruler can leave the country...
[22:11] Levia
    That's where you come in.
[22:15] Levia
    Don't make Dezas do all the work.
[22:17] Dezastol
    Yes.
[22:18] Ruri
    The Demon Lord kindly allowed
    me to open a shop here!
[22:24] Ruri
    My very own shop! It's my dream come true!
[22:26] Setsu
    Are you sure?
[22:28] Dezastol
    She delivered my precious brooch.
    It's the least I could do.
[22:34] Vlad
    Thanks for the help, Setsu.
[22:37] Vlad
    If you need anything,
     we will race to your side.
[22:41] Setsu
    Yeah. I'll be counting on you.
[22:48] Setsu
    All right, ready to go?
[22:50] Levia
    Oh, very well.
[22:52] Levia
    I'll tag along with you, no matter how far!
[22:56] Setsu
    Yeah!
[23:05] Dezastol
    Be sure to come straight
    back to me once it's all over!
[23:17] Setsu
    Yeah, see you soon!
