[01:31] Kurt
    If what you say is true,
[01:34] Kurt
    this could possibly kill Wendelin.
[01:37] Kurt
    However...
[01:39] Adventurer
    Head Auditor Ruckner deeply
    regrets providing you
[01:42] ---
    with mistaken information before,
     so this time...
[01:47] Kurt
    So how much do you intend to take?
[01:49] Adventurer
    No money will be necessary.
[01:51] Kurt
    Huh?!
[01:51] Adventurer
    We simply ask that once you become the lord,
[01:54] Adventurer
    you show us favor during negotiations for
    the interests in the undeveloped lands.
[01:59] Kurt
    I see.
[02:00] Kurt
    So he wants my cooperation as a
    fellow man in a difficult position.
[02:23] Brantag
    Here comes that asshole Kurt.
[02:25] Iina
    Well, he should have heard that Well was
    entering the undeveloped lands by himself.
[02:29] Er
    Does this mean that information
    actually reached him?
[02:33] Louise
    We did go around telling everyone we could.
[02:35] Brantag
    Now the plan to make your brother
    blow up is entering its final stages.
[02:41] Er
    But the man that approached
    him already left, right?
[02:45] Louise
    I was convinced that he was going
    to bring an assassin with him.
[02:49] Well
    But he's coming by himself.
[02:51] Brantag
    Which probably means he's found
    some chance of beating you.
[03:11] Well
    Brother Kurt, what are you doing here?
[03:14] Kurt
    Cut the act.
[03:16] Kurt
    They're here, right?
[03:17] Well
    Grk!
[03:18] Kurt
    Come out, you damned retainers!
[03:20] Kurt
    I know you're there!
[03:31] Kurt
    Wendelin... you certainly are amazing.
[03:34] Well
    Huh?
[03:35] Kurt
    You've defeated a dragon,
[03:37] Kurt
    you've been showered with
    praise as a great magician,
[03:40] Kurt
    and now you're attempting to
    become the next lord of this land.
[03:45] Kurt
    But still...
[03:47] Kurt
    You're the eighth son, not the eldest!
[03:50] Kurt
    Don't move!
[03:52] Kurt
    If you move, I'll blow this Dragon's Flute!
[03:55] Brantag
    What?! How did you...
[03:58] Kurt
    I suppose a veteran magician
    like you would know of it.
[04:03] Brantag
    This is my first time seeing
    the real thing, though.
[04:06] Well
    Brantag?
[04:08] Brantag
    The Dragon's Flute is a magic item
    uncovered from ancient ruins.
[04:12] Brantag
    You can summon dragons by blowing on it.
[04:16] Iina
    But we've faced dragons before.
[04:18] Brantag
    Not en masse.
[04:20] Brantag
    Every single one in the Great
    Rieg Mountains will rush down here.
[04:23] Brantag
    Even the boy's magic power
    won't last if that happens.
[04:28] Kurt
    I guess even the heroic Dragon Slayer
     can't prevail against sheer numbers.
[04:33] Er
    What the hell are you laughing about?!
[04:35] Er
    If you do that, you won't be safe, either!
[04:37] Kurt
    Come now, are you an idiot?
[04:40] Kurt
    Do you think I'd ever use a magic item that
    would cause its user to be attacked, too?
[04:44] Elise
    But if that many dragons come,
    the people here will suffer!
[04:48] Kurt
    Those bastards betrayed me!
[04:50] Kurt
    They should reap what they sow!
[04:52] Well
    B-B-But your family would die, too!
[04:54] Kurt
    I can just start a new family!
[04:58] Well
    What are you saying?
[04:59] Kurt
    Listen to me. I'm going to steal your assets,
[05:02] Kurt
    make the development happen,
[05:04] Kurt
    and become an even greater hero than
    you in these undeveloped lands!
[05:07] Kurt
    Once I've done that, women will
    flock to me on their own.
[05:10] Kurt
    So long as I have another son
    after that, all will be as it was.
[05:14] Well
    My stupid brother...
[05:15] Kurt
    Don't move! I'll blow it!
[05:22] Kurt
    That's it! That's what I wanted to see!
[05:25] Kurt
    The thing I've always hated the most was
    that condescending attitude of yours!
[05:30] Kurt
    I've always wanted to ruin
    that look on your face!
[05:34] Kurt
    Ah, finally!
[05:41] Kurt
    Wendelin, just remember this.
[05:44] Kurt
    The deaths of our people, of Amalie,
    and of all your precious comrades,
[05:50] Kurt
    are all your fault!
[06:00] Kurt
    Looks like this flute, at least, is on my side.
[06:04] Kurt
    It's my victory in the end!
[06:06] Kurt
    Die, Wendelin!
[06:26] Well
    What are you doing?!
[06:28] Wilma
    No!
[06:29] Wilma
    I have a really bad feeling about this.
[06:32] Elise
    That's malice.
[06:35] Er
    Huh? I thought it was going to call dragons?
[06:39] Brantag
    I thought something was off.
[06:41] Brantag
    The Dragon's Flute is a legendary magic item.
[06:45] Brantag
    It's not something so easily obtained.
[06:48] Well
    Then Brother Kurt was deceived?
[06:51] Brantag
    Most likely, that's the Flute of Malice.
[06:54] Brantag
    Once you blow it,
[06:56] Brantag
    it draws in malice from the surroundings
    so you can defeat your enemy,
[06:59] Brantag
    eventually turning you into an
    undead, and with that power...
[07:03] Well
    Wait a second! It turns its user into an undead?
[07:06] Elise
    Those who come in contact with
    malice will perish. Which means...
[07:11] Well
    No way...
[07:14] Kurt
    Why?!
[07:16] Kurt
    Why don't things ever go as planned?
[07:18] Kurt
    Why won't anybody listen to me, the eldest son?!
[07:22] Kurt
    They all play me for a damn fool!
[07:24] Kurt
    They mock me, the eldest son!
[07:27] Kurt
    They'll pay for that! They'll pay!
[07:29] Kurt
    So help me, they will pay for doing that to me!
[07:48] Brantag
    Boy, use your holy magic!
[07:51] Brantag
    What's the matter?! He's already dead!
[07:54] Well
    Brother...
[08:02] Elise
    I'll purify him!
[08:12] Brantag
    There's too much malice.
[08:14] Brantag
    At this rate, everyone will...
[08:17] Elise
    I won't let...
[08:18] Elise
    anyone else...
[08:26] Well
    Keep it up!
[08:30] Well
    Expand the purification magic like
    we did in the Enchanted Forest.
[08:34] Elise
    But...
[09:31] Dran
    My, that's impressive, Head Auditor Ruckner.
[09:35] Dran
    To think you would recognize
    Sir Roderich as insurance against
[09:39] ---
    the failure of Baron Baumeister's assassination.
[09:42] Ruckner
    Regardless of what he may want,
    he's still my son, after all.
[09:47] Behrens
    If you use that connection,
    you can eat into the new land interests.
[09:54] Ruckner
    Still, I want that country
    bumpkin to work hard for me
[09:57] ---
    so I can put one over on my brother,
[10:01] Ruckner
    but with his abilities...
[10:02] Behrens
    He's nothing more than a disposable pawn?
[10:06] Ruckner
    There are so many incompetent men
    who ride on their status as eldest son.
[10:22] Ruckner
    Are you... Kurt?
[10:35] Well
    I see. So the one who gave
    that flute to Brother Kurt was...
[10:39] Roderich
    As a result, he and twelve
    other nobles of the robe,
[10:43] ---
    along with their relatives,
    lost their lives in that incident.
[10:47] Roderich
    What a villain.
[10:50] Roderich
    By the way, the malice
    believed to have been Kurt
[10:53] ---
    has already been purified by the priests.
[10:55] Roderich
    They're still investigating the cause,
[10:57] Roderich
    but it's believed that a fragment
    of the malice you purified
[11:00] ---
    was guided here by his hatred.
[11:05] Roderich
    I also have one other thing to report.
[11:09] Roderich
    Rumors have been spreading
    around the capital that
[11:13] ---
    the one behind this incident was Sir Kurt.
[11:15] Roderich
    I know you had planned for Lady Amalie
    and her children to live here, but...
[11:21] Well
    I see. They'd be the family of a criminal.
[11:25] Roderich
    So even if they were to move here,
[11:26] Roderich
    they would find it even more
    uncomfortable than their home.
[11:30] Roderich
    I think it would be a struggle
    for them to live in the capital.
[11:39] Armstrong
    So where did they end up?
[11:42] Brantag
    They're living in hiding with the second son.
[11:48] Well
    But some of the people
    still view them with hostility
[11:50] ---
    because they're Brother Kurt's family,
[11:53] Well
    so they can hardly even go outside.
[11:55] Brantag
    Hey, want a drink? It's mead.
[11:57] Well
    People keep calling me the heroic
    Dragon Slayer and putting me on a pedestal,
[12:01] Well
    but this is the real truth.
[12:05] Well
    I couldn't save a single person.
[12:08] Brantag
    What could you have done?
[12:09] Brantag
    It's the Flute of Malice.
    No one could've seen that coming.
[12:13] Armstrong
    Speaking of which, we tried to
    determine how he obtained that flute,
[12:16] Armstrong
    but none of our searches
    are turning up solid leads.
[12:20] Brantag
    Maybe that was all a part
    of the palace's plot, too.
[12:25] Well
    I'm so sick of all that nonsense.
[12:27] Well
    Everyone's sneaking around behind my back,
[12:29] Well
    and I have no idea who's plotting what,
[12:32] Well
    or what they're after...
[12:33] Well
    It just never ends.
[12:36] Well
    Yet despite all that, they keep all
    the crucial details hidden in shadow
[12:38] ---
    and never take any responsibility.
[12:41] Well
    What is wrong with these nobles?
[12:45] Brantag
    You know, boy, I've had
    this thought for a while,
[12:49] Brantag
    but every now and then,
    you talk like you're not yourself.
[12:53] Well
    Huh? I don't think I do that...
[12:58] Brantag
    You do.
[12:59] Brantag
    Just now, you said all
    those things about nobles,
[13:02] Brantag
    but take a good look in the mirror.
[13:05] Brantag
    You're a noble yourself, remember?
[13:21] Er
    This is good!
[13:22] Iina
    Which one?
[13:23] Er
    This one.
[13:24] Iina
    Let me have some!
[13:24] Iina
    Yours looks good, Iina!
[13:25] Iina
    Wanna try some?
[13:26] ---
    Don't mind if do.
[13:27] ---
    Hey, let's trade!
[13:28] ---
    Sure.
[13:36] Well
    Hey, does it feel like I'm barely here?
[13:41] Elise
    Barely here?
[13:43] Well
    Uh, maybe I'm not saying it right,
[13:46] Well
    but does it seem like I'm
    out of touch with reality?
[13:49] Well
    Or maybe there's a better way to put it...
[13:51] Elise
    This might be something different,
[13:54] Elise
    but sometimes I do feel anxious.
[13:58] Elise
    It feels like you're far away,
    even though you're close by.
[14:02] Well
    I guess it's because I haven't
    accepted this world.
[14:08] Well
    I thought I had prepared
    myself to face it, though.
[14:22] Well
    Elise, I think I'm going to try to
    become a proper noble here.
[14:31] Elise
    You always did have a habit of saying
[14:34] Elise
    you'd do your best, and do it smartly.
[14:40] Elise
    You'll be fine.
[14:42] Elise
    I'm sure you can become one.
[14:46] King
    Wendelin von Benno Baumeister...
[14:49] King
    You truly served well in quelling the
    incident in the Baumeister Knightdom.
[14:55] King
    Therefore, I shall grant you
    all the undeveloped land
[14:58] ---
    confiscated from the Baumeister Knightdom.
[15:02] Well
    I humbly accept.
[15:04] King
    However...
[15:05] King
    It would be unkind of me to reward your
    achievements with land that comes tied
[15:09] ---
    with the obligation of laboring to develop it.
[15:11] King
    So, Sir Baumeister,
[15:13] King
    what would you wish to have for a reward?
[15:17] King
    This was proposed to me by
    Lord Commissioner Ruckner.
[15:25] Edgar
    We did saddle the baron with a great deal
    of trouble for his family's mistake.
[15:30] Edgar
    It's the least we could do to make up for it.
[15:34] Well
    To be honest, there was something
    I wished to ask for, too.
[15:38] King
    Oh? Let me hear it.
[15:41] Well
    I have heard that twelve nobles of the robe
[15:43] ---
    perished in the incident
    caused by the Flute of Malice,
[15:46] Well
    and that many are currently calling upon
    the capital, seeking to claim the open titles.
[15:54] Rucker
    This is true. Every day, there's a
    rabble of self-proclaimed relatives.
[15:59] Hohenheim
    There are even some among the late
    nobles who lost all of their relatives.
[16:05] Well
    So for the sake of developing
    the vast, undeveloped lands,
[16:08] Well
    I would like to be given the right
    to grant two of those open titles.
[16:16] King
    The right to grant titles
    belongs solely to the king.
[16:20] Edgar
    This is insolent, Sir Baumeister!
[16:23] Hohenheim
    To think you would treat His Majesty's
    consideration with such disdain!
[16:26] Edgar
    Granting such a large swath of land to
    a mere baron is already unthinkable!
[16:33] Edgar
    Asking for the right to grant nobility on
    top of that couldn't be more audacious!
[16:38] Hohenheim
    Rescind that request, now.
[16:40] Edgar
    There's no need to rescind it!
[16:42] Edgar
    Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I must say...
[16:47] Edgar
    Granting Sir Baumeister only a
    portion of those undeveloped lands
[16:50] ---
    and granting the rest to someone more
    experienced in managing a domain
[16:54] ---
    would be of greater benefit to our kingdom.
[16:55] Ruckner
    But Sir Baumeister's magic
    is necessary to develop it.
[16:59] Edgar
    How about Baron Mark?
[17:01] Edgar
    He may not be able to use magic,
[17:02] Edgar
    but he's the greatest
    developer in the kingdom.
[17:06] Ruckner
    Hold on.
[17:07] Ruckner
    That man is one of your
    close relations, Sir Edgar.
[17:11] Edgar
    You always focus too much on such details!
[17:14] Bleichröder
    Gentlemen, you stand before our king.
[17:20] Bleichröder
    Besides, if memory serves,
[17:22] Bleichröder
    there have been past cases where the right
    to grant titles was bestowed on another.
[17:26] Hohenheim
    Those were all cases with
    pressing reasons to do so.
[17:29] Bleichröder
    So the idea should at least be considered.
[17:33] Edgar
    You are Sir Baumeister's lord.
[17:36] Edgar
    You only say such things because you
    hope to expand your own faction!
[17:40] Bleichröder
    I do not!
[17:41] Bleichröder
    I am simply thinking of our kingdom.
[17:43] Hohenheim
    We are also thinking of the kingdom.
[17:46] Bleichröder
    Is that truly so?
[17:48] Edgar
    What insolence is this?!
[17:53] Armstrong
    Be silent!
[17:57] Armstrong
    Sir Baumeister, rescind your request.
[18:00] Well
    Magician, please listen—
[18:02] Armstrong
    Can you not see what you've done?!
[18:04] Armstrong
    Your reckless actions have upset
    the order of the royal palace!
[18:09] Armstrong
    You lack a noble's decorum, Sir Baumeister!
[18:17] Armstrong
    Your Majesty, if I may.
[18:19] Armstrong
    As Lord Marshall Edgar proposed,
[18:22] Armstrong
    could we not grant Sir Baumeister a portion
    of the undeveloped land he's due to receive,
[18:25] Armstrong
    and place the remainder under my care?
[18:29] Armstrong
    I will develop it myself.
[18:32] Ruckner
    True, a magician as great as you could...
[18:36] King
    Everyone!
[18:42] King
    Magician Armstrong,
[18:44] King
    you are needed here in the capital.
[18:46] Armstrong
    But great magic power is needed
    to develop those lands!
[18:50] King
    Which is why we shall have
    Sir Baumeister develop them.
[18:55] King
    Development of those undeveloped lands
    is our kingdom's greatest priority.
[18:59] King
    We need him to put his fullest effort into it.
[19:02] King
    So if this will secure that...
[19:05] Bleichröder
    Then you'll bestow the right to grant titles?
[19:11] Well
    Gulp!
[19:18] King
    Sir Baumeister, raise your head.
[19:22] King
    As you wish, I shall bestow upon
    you the right to grant two titles.
[19:27] Well
    I thank you for your generosity.
[19:31] King
    You're starting to look like a real noble now.
[19:36] King
    In addition, I, Helmut XXXVII,
     King of Helmut Kingdom,
[19:42] King
    hereby grant thee,
    Wendelin von Benno Baumeister,
[19:45] King
    the fifth rank and title of Count
    to develop those lands.
[19:52] Ruckner
    He jumped straight past viscount to count?!
[19:59] Well
    My sword shall be wielded for Your Majesty,
[20:00] Well
    for our kingdom,
[20:02] Well
    and for our people.
[20:13] King
    That man has grown quite clever.
[20:17] Armstrong
    Clever?
[20:19] King
    Everyone performed well except you.
[20:23] King
    You should practice your acting.
[20:28] Armstrong
    That so?
[20:30] Armstrong
    I think I'll refrain.
[20:36] Well
    Once those children come of age,
[20:38] ---
    I plan to grant them the titles I hold.
[20:42] Well
    If they don't need them,
    they're welcome to turn them down.
[20:48] Well
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[20:51] Amalie
    Sir Wendelin...
[20:56] Amalie
    My husband's death was one he chose himself.
[21:01] Amalie
    I'm sure my boys will understand that one day.
[21:11] Amalie
    Thank you, Well.
