**[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*.*
***SIGN*** Evilbarrow, the Dark Lord's Castle
**[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.
***SIGN*** Episode 4
***SIGN*** Receiving a Gift for a Second Time
**[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!
