[00:02] Oracle
    You will correct your mistake, Prince Marse.
[00:08] Oracle
    Then you'll earn the Emperor's forgiveness
[00:10] Oracle
    and be able to obtain the princess you love.
[00:13] Marse
    Who are you?
[00:15] Marse
    Are you an imperial spy after all?
[00:19] Oracle
    I am but a mere oracle.
[00:23] Oracle
    Even seeing your future
    is just a result of my divination.
[00:27] Oracle
    However...
[00:29] Oracle
    my predictions often come true.
[00:32] Oracle
    Just like that monster attack.
[00:36] Oracle
    That Ring King is a foreign element
    from outside our world.
[00:40] Oracle
    He isn't fit for this world.
[00:44] Oracle
    You are the one who originally
    had the qualities to be Ring King.
[00:48] Oracle
    There's nothing to trouble yourself over.
[00:52] Oracle
    Unless...
[00:53] Oracle
    you would betray the wishes
    of the Emperor once again?
[01:02] Oracle
    This is a sword that twists
    and distorts the flow of magic.
[01:05] Oracle
    It is an ancient magic item
    heralded within legends.
[01:10] Oracle
    I present this sword to you.
[01:12] Oracle
    While you have no power of your own,
[01:15] Oracle
    with this, the Ring King
    will not get the better of you.
[01:19] Marse
    How do you possess such a thing?
[01:31] Oracle
    I'll be eagerly awaiting
    your return to the Empire
[01:35] Oracle
    with the rings in tow.
[03:22] Marse
    What should I...?
[03:26] (Flashback) Emperor
    I can't believe you couldn't even
    claim one remote nation
[03:29] (Flashback) Emperor
    after I practically
    handed it to you on a platter.
[03:32] (Flashback) Emperor
    Are you aware of what my ministers call you?
[03:36] (Flashback) Emperor
    "The failure."
[03:39] (Flashback) Emperor
    Soon we'll be selecting
    a candidate for Ring King.
[03:43] (Flashback) Emperor
    It's nothing more than musty old tale,
[03:46] (Flashback) Emperor
    but it is a great tool for winning
    the hearts of the populace.
[03:50] (Flashback) Emperor
    Even you couldn't possibly
    screw up something so simple.
[03:54] (Flashback) Emperor
    Your value lies in the fact
    that you're my child.
[03:57] (Flashback) Emperor
    And that is your only value.
[04:00] (Flashback) Emperor
    So go prove your worth, Marmarugias.
[04:30] Marse
    I really have lost everything, haven't I?
[04:38] Marse
    What am I supposed to do?
[04:52] Marse
    That's right.
[04:54] Marse
    This is the only path left to me.
[05:04] Sluder
    We're now setting off on our
    campaign to dispatch the monsters.
[05:08] Satou
    Are you really sure you don't want me to come?
[05:11] Sluder
    This is not your role.
[05:14] Sluder
    Great power wielded by one man will
    disrupt the coordination of the whole.
[05:18] Sluder
    People like you...
[05:20] Sluder
    exist for when the worst comes to pass.
[05:34] Sluder
    Take care of things here.
[05:36] Satou
    S-Sure?
[05:40] Hime
    Satou!
[05:43] Hime
    Um, so, well, uh...
[05:48] Satou
    What is it?
[05:50] Hime
    Jeez!
[05:56] Hime
    Just in case you suddenly
    find yourself needing to fight.
[06:01] Satou
    Th-Thank you.
[06:04] Hime
    Don't blush over it. That's embarrassing.
[06:06] Satou
    Well... I still haven't gotten used to it yet.
[06:09] Granart
    Allow me to grant you some power, as well!
[06:12] Hime
    Huh?!
[06:13] Hime
    Hey! Granart!
[06:16] Granart
    What? I'm Satou's wife, too.
[06:20] Granart
    Is there something wrong with this?
[06:22] Hime
    There's not! There's not, but still!
[06:25] Nef
    Um, then I should, too!
[06:27] Hime
    You, too, Nefritis?!
[06:29] Nefritis
    Am I not allowed?
[06:31] Hime
    No, you are... allowed, but...
[06:34] Nef
    Then...
[06:36] Hime
    Ahh! Nefritis is being so proactive!
[06:41] Hime
    Then I'll be the only one to give him one more!
[06:44] Nef
    Krystal-sama, that's not fair!
[06:48] Saphir
    What is this display?
    I'm too stunned for words.
[06:52] Alabaster
    Their bonds with the Ring King are his power.
[06:55] Alabaster
    It's a good thing that they want
    to grant him their power.
[07:01] Saphir
    Is it?
[07:20] Soldier
    Reporting!
[07:21] Soldier
    Our right and left flanks are
    pushing the battle lines forward!
[07:24] Sluder
    Good.
[07:26] Soldier
    The horde of monsters is behaving oddly
    in line with the oracle's predictions,
[07:30] Soldier
    but if this pace holds,
    then we've won this battle.
[07:33] SoldierB
    Sluder-sama!
[07:35] SoldierB
    One giant monster has appeared
    outside the expected battle area!
[07:38] SoldierB
    If nothing is done, it'll slip
    past toward the Maasa Palace!
[07:42] SoldierB
    We should split off a squad and
    send it to the palace at once!
[07:45] Sluder
    No, we'll hold this line to the last man.
[07:48] Sluder
    The palace will be fine.
[07:53] Satou
    What?!
[07:55] Alabaster
    Hurry! Inside the palace!
[08:01] Satou
    A monster?!
[08:05] Alabaster
    Looks like just the one from what I can see.
[08:16] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[08:23] Satou
    Marse-san?!
[08:25] Marse
    Ring King!
[08:26] Marse
    I'm sorry, but you die here!
[08:32] Alabaster
    Oh, no!
[08:33] Alabaster
    Leave the monster to me!
[08:37] Alabaster
    Satou-kun, you deal with Marse!
[08:42] Satou
    Marse-san, why?!
[08:45] Marse
    I'll kill the Ring King and hand
    the rings over to the Empire.
[08:49] Marse
    That is my duty as an imperial prince.
[08:54] Marse
    That is the only...
[08:55] Marse
    path left for me now!
[08:58] Satou
    Hold on!
[09:00] Satou
    You've got your reasons, right?!
[09:02] Satou
    Tell me what's going on!
[09:04] Marse
    You said it yourself, right?
[09:06] Marse
    If I have something important riding on it,
[09:07] Marse
    then I should just take them from you!
[09:11] Marse
    I guided you all and earned your trust...
[09:15] Marse
    all for this moment.
[09:18] Marse
    I'll defeat you for the Empire!
[09:21] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[09:23] Alabaster
    Marse isn't in his right mind!
[09:26] Alabaster
    He's probably being controlled somehow!
[09:28] Satou
    Then what should I do about it?!
[09:30] Satou
    Will throwing holy water
    or something on him fix him?!
[09:32] Alabaster
    I don't know!
[09:33] Alabaster
    I don't know,
[09:34] Alabaster
    but focus on stopping his movements for now!
[09:36] Satou
    You're always useless
    when it really counts, old man!
[09:43] Satou
    My skill with the sword
    isn't enough to beat Marse-san!
[09:47] Satou
    So...
[09:51] Satou
    Huh?!
[09:53] Satou
    What's the meaning of this?!
[09:55] Ring
    Interesting.
[09:57] Ring
    The sword that distorts magic, huh?
[10:00] Ring
    That's a nostalgic weapon he possesses.
[10:03] Ring
    I'm surprised he would bring
    a failure like that into battle...
[10:06] Ring
    Though, I suppose it's fitting
    for a young failure like him.
[10:11] Satou
    I knew it.
[10:12] Satou
    The rings are talking to me.
[10:15] Ring
    There's no need to hesitate.
[10:16] Ring
    You can overwhelm him with the Ring's magic.
[10:19] Ring
    Wipe him out and leave no trace behind.
[10:21] Satou
    Huh?! Like I could do that!
[10:24] Ring
    Are you okay with him killing you?
[10:27] Satou
    Shut up! Be quiet!
[10:28] Satou
    I can't do what I can't do!
[10:30] Ring
    Why do you hesitate to eliminate
    the obstacle before you with your power?
[10:34] Ring
    Foolish.
[10:36] Satou
    That said, what am I supposed to do here?
[10:39] Satou
    If I go all-out, it might end up
    like the rings suggested.
[10:43] Satou
    He's not the kind of
    opponent I can hold back against.
[10:48] Satou
    That's right.
[10:49] Satou
    I'm no match for him.
[10:52] Satou
    So why...
[10:53] Satou
    am I still uninjured at this point?
[11:02] Satou
    I knew it.
[11:03] Satou
    Marse-san is still himself.
[11:07] Hime
    Satou and Marse-san are fighting?!
[11:09] Hime
    Why?
[11:10] Saphir
    I don't know why,
[11:12] Saphir
    but I heard Marse is trying to steal the rings.
[11:28] Saphir
    You fool!
[11:29] Saphir
    Are you trying to die?!
[11:34] Satou
    I knew it.
[11:36] Satou
    You're hesitating, aren't you?
[11:38] Satou
    Hesitating to cut me down.
[11:42] Satou
    You really are a kind person, Marse-san.
[11:57] Marse
    Cut me down, Satou-kun.
[12:02] Marse
    The woman I love has forsaken me,
[12:04] Marse
    and I'm a failure who can't even
    fulfill my duty as an imperial prince.
[12:09] Marse
    To make it worse,
[12:11] Marse
    I've even wounded you.
[12:14] Marse
    At this point, I'm worthless.
[12:18] Satou
    I really like you, Marse-san.
[12:22] Satou
    Honestly, if it wasn't for you,
[12:26] Satou
    I would've been a goner
    soon after arriving here.
[12:28] Satou
    I've been able to make it this far
    because your kindness has saved me.
[12:33] Marse
    Huh?
[12:34] Satou
    If you want to say you're worthless,
[12:37] Satou
    then I'll become your worth.
[12:40] Satou
    What could possibly be more
    worthwhile than saving the world
[12:44] Satou
    as part of the legendary Ring King's party?
[12:48] Satou
    I need you, Marse-san.
[12:51] Marse
    You... need me?
[12:55] Ring
    Strike the gem on the pommel!
[13:04] Oracle
    Tsk!
[13:05] Oracle
    Every single one of them! Useless!
[13:10] Alabaster
    My magic won't hold out!
[13:12] Satou
    Huh?!
[13:18] Satou
    Oh, no!
[13:19] Satou
    Hime!
[13:31] Saphir
    Saphira!
[13:40] Satou
    Is it using her as a hostage?!
[13:43] Oracle
    What a waste of the present
    I gave you, Prince Marse.
[13:49] Alabaster
    I knew you had something
    to do with the monsters!
[13:52] Alabaster
    I'm guessing you're also the one
    who placed a curse on that sword?
[13:56] Oracle
    I predicted his future,
    but I barely did anything.
[14:00] Oracle
    It simply loosened the shackles on his heart,
[14:02] Oracle
    and strengthened his own desires just a tad.
[14:05] Oracle
    You understand that quite well,
    don't you, Prince Marse?
[14:10] Oracle
    Try anything funny and Princess Saphira dies.
[14:14] Oracle
    So?
[14:16] Oracle
    Care to trade the rings for her?
[14:20] Marse
    You're right.
[14:22] Marse
    Part of me did resent Satou-kun
    and try to take his life.
[14:27] Marse
    But I'm more than just that.
[14:31] Marse
    Satou-kun put his own life
    on the line to teach me that.
[14:34] Satou
    Marse-san.
[14:36] Marse
    I won't waver again.
[14:40] Marse
    I've decided to live my life for myself
    and those precious to me.
[14:45] Marse
    I'll choose my own path to follow.
[14:48] Marse
    That's where my worth lies.
[14:51] Marse
    Princess Saphira!
[14:54] Marse
    Please marry me!
[14:57] Saphira
    Huh?
[15:01] Oracle
    Huh?
[15:02] Oracle
    What foolishness are you spouting?!
[15:06] Satou
    Take that!
[15:14] Saphira
    It's not fair, asking me
    at a time like this, Marse-sama.
[15:18] Marse
    I'm sorry.
[15:20] Marse
    I've kept you waiting.
[15:22] Oracle
    Why, you! Why, you!
[15:35] AbyssKnight
    I was planning to toy with you
    until my King fully awakened,
[15:39] AbyssKnight
    but I'm done following the rules of your world!
[15:44] AbyssKnight
    Return to the Abyss!
[15:47] Satou
    What the hell?!
[15:49] Alabaster
    Now you've shown your true form!
[15:53] Saphir
    Good grief.
[15:55] Saphir
    You truly are a fool.
[15:58] Saphir
    You're too kindhearted.
[16:00] Saphir
    But that's the good kind of fool.
[16:16] Satou
    Wha?!
[16:22] Saphir
    Behold the power of the ring that
    controls water, the source of all life,
[16:28] Saphir
    and the true power of the dragonfolk.
[16:39] Satou
    She ate it?!
[16:52] Satou
    Oh!
[16:53] Alabaster
    She fled?!
[16:57] Satou
    That's incredible...
[16:59] Satou
    Can you... turn back?
[17:08] Saphir
    Of course.
[17:12] Hime
    Don't look!
[17:13] Satou
    Huh? Huh?
[17:17] Marse
    Satou-kun.
[17:19] Marse
    I'm sorry,
[17:21] Marse
    but could we continue
    where we left off earlier?
[17:32] King
    You all have saved our country, Maasa!
[17:37] Satou
    Who's that?
[17:38] Saphir
    My father.
[17:39] Satou
    Huh?!
[17:41] King
    The Abyss King's knight had clouded
    my mind, but I saw everything.
[17:47] King
    Ring King, your power
    is just as the legends claim.
[17:52] King
    As a ring nation, Maasa shall
    lend you all the power we can.
[17:56] Satou
    Th-Thank you so much!
[17:59] King
    And you two, princes of the Empire...
[18:01] King
    Thank you for protecting Maasa.
[18:04] King
    However, henceforth, the Land of Water
    shall protect itself with its own strength.
[18:09] King
    I was too focused on needing
    to protect Maasa by ourselves
[18:13] King
    and I fell into a villain's clutches.
[18:16] King
    However, I now understand
    that the Empire is a powerful ally.
[18:21] King
    I will not allow that to happen again.
[18:25] Sluder
    I'm glad to hear it.
[18:26] Sluder
    We'll race to your aid should
    you ever need our strength again.
[18:31] Sluder
    Please call upon us when you desire it.
[18:33] King
    Indeed.
[18:38] King
    I've caused you much trouble, Saphir.
[18:45] Satou
    So even she has a pretty demure side to her.
[18:49] King
    I see you've also found
    yourself a good husband.
[18:53] Saphir
    Huh?
[18:55] Saphir
    This thing is just a fool with magic power.
[18:59] Saphir
    I think your eyes are still clouded, Father.
[19:02] King
    I-I see?
[19:04] Satou
    What?
[19:07] Marse
    King of Water,
[19:08] Marse
    as the Ring King's knight, Marmarugias,
    I would ask for your boon.
[19:14] Marse
    Allow me to wed Princess Saphira!
[19:17] King
    Prince Marse...
[19:19] King
    No, it's Knight Marse now, isn't it?
[19:22] King
    I didn't realize how Saphira felt until after
    you had left and Saphir chastised me.
[19:29] King
    I was so concerned with our nation
    that I allowed my daughter to suffer.
[19:34] King
    I've failed her as a father.
[19:38] King
    Please take care of my daughter.
[19:43] Marse
    Yes!
[19:45] Marse
    Princess Saphira.
[19:47] Saphira
    Marse-sama.
[19:48] Alabaster
    Woot, woot!
[19:54] Hime
    That's so nice.
[19:59] Hime
    I wish it could have been like that for me, too.
[20:07] Marse
    Satou-kun!
[20:10] Marse
    You're next.
[20:12] Satou
    What does he mean, I'm next?
[20:15] Satou
    We're the ones who got married first.
[20:18] Hime
    Ah!
[20:20] Satou
    No way!
[20:21] Satou
    Have they done it?!
[20:27] Marse
    Brother!
[20:29] Sluder
    Between that oracle, the monsters,
    and their ties to the Empire...
[20:35] Sluder
    something is happening behind my back.
[20:39] Sluder
    I must return to the imperial capital at once.
[20:43] Sluder
    Make sure you come home one day, too.
[20:47] Sluder
    I'll be waiting for you.
[20:50] Marse
    Yes!
[20:57] Emperor
    It seems you failed to seize Maasa.
[21:00] AbyssKnight
    Yes.
[21:02] AbyssKnight
    It was under the Empire's dominion for a time,
[21:06] AbyssKnight
    but that wench...
[21:08] AbyssKnight
    Still, I thought a nation like that was beneath
    your attention, Your Imperial Majesty?
[21:14] AbyssKnight
    If we combine your power
    and my power to control monsters,
[21:20] AbyssKnight
    then surely we can obtain many more nations.
[21:23] AbyssKnight
    Yes...
[21:25] AbyssKnight
    You can make that possible.
[21:28] AbyssKnight
    Now, show me your desire.
[21:38] Emperor
    First you target the King of Maasa, then me?
[21:42] Emperor
    I only listened to you
    because our interests aligned,
[21:46] Emperor
    but it seems the old way is truly worthless.
[21:49] AbyssKnight
    Why, you! You knew everything?!
[21:52] Emperor
    This is no longer the world of gods!
    It's the world of man!
[21:56] Emperor
    I'll simply exterminate any who interfere.
[22:00] Emperor
    Be that the Abyss King,
[22:06] Emperor
    or even the Ring King!
