[00:02] Will
    This looks bad.
[00:03] Villager1
    They got all of the livestock,
[00:06] Villager1
    and they destroyed a bunch of
    tools that can't be replaced.
[00:09] Villager2
    We'll have to go to Whitesails to buy more.
[00:12] Menel
    With what money?
[00:13] Villager1
    Well, we won't be able
    to replace everything.
[00:16] Will
    Um... what is Whitesails?
[00:20] Menel
    Seriously, who are you?
[00:23] Menel
    Could you be any more sheltered?
[00:24] Will
    Sorry.
[00:26] Menel
    Uh, so... Whitesails is...
[00:29] Will
    Oh, um... if you could tell me about
    the history of this place, too...
[00:32] Menel
    Yeah, fine.
[00:34] Menel
    You know this is the remote southern
    continent known as Southmark, right?
[00:38] Will
    Yes, that I know.
[00:40] Menel
    So around... two hundred years ago, was it?
[00:42] Menel
    Southmark was engulfed
    by a horde of demons.
[00:45] Menel
    The Hundred Heroes took out
    the king of the demons,
[00:49] Menel
    but the humans abandoned this continent,
[00:51] Menel
    crossing the sea to retreat
    to Grassland in the north.
[00:54] Menel
    The Hundred Heroes...
    That's Blood and his buddies.
[00:58] Menel
    Since the Fertile Kingdom unified the
    southwestern region of Grassland,
[01:02] Menel
    they've been cultivating the land with
    the intention of reclaiming it.
[01:05] Menel
    And Whitesails is the port town that became
    the center for immigration from the north.
[01:11] Will
    I see.
[01:12] Menel
    A lot of folks with histories
    and aspiring heroes go there.
[01:16] Menel
    People who've received
    divine revelations, too.
[01:19] Menel
    You're hoping to gather more faithful
    on this trip, too, right?
[01:21] Menel
    Gracefeel used to have a lot of devoted
    followers on the southern continent.
[01:26] Will
    Could you tell me more?
[01:27] Menel
    I think her followers were scattered
    in the Great Collapse...
[01:32] Villager1
    Yeah, that's right.
[01:33] Villager1
    And the ones who managed to escape
    to Grassland kept her name alive.
[01:38] Villager2
    But still, her following
    has declined a lot.
[01:41] Will
    Rampant demons and demon beasts,
[01:43] Will
    villages that resort to thievery,
[01:45] Will
    faith in the goddess dying out...
[01:47] Will
    Was doing something about all this
    the mission the goddess gave me?
[01:53] Menel
    Anyway, enough with the old legends.
[01:55] Will
    We need to deal with the village first.
[01:57] Menel
    Yeah, about that...
[02:00] Menel
    The people of this village have no money.
[02:02] Will
    Menel, wanna go explore some ruins?
[02:05] Will
    We'll divide the loot evenly.
[02:07] Menel
    Huh?
SIGN    The Faraway Paladin
[03:39] Menel
    I never would've guessed you'd
    be so good at scavenging ruins!
[03:42] Will
    I'm used to them.
[03:44] Menel
    Seriously, who are you, anyway?
[03:46] Menel
    We did get enough money to
    rebuild because of it, though.
[03:49] Menel
    We can even buy new livestock and tools.
[03:51] Will
    I made up for my own expenses, too.
[03:54] Will
    I can't wait to get to town.
[03:56] Menel
    When we do, the first thing
    we gotta do is eat.
[03:58] Menel
    The seafood in season right now is—
[04:01] Tonio
    Someone!
[04:02] Tonio
    Help!
[04:06] Will
    A giant ape!
[04:08] Bee
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[04:09] Menel
    The two running from it are a
    halfling and... is that a hawker?
[04:11] Bee
    Just throw that away already!
[04:13] Tonio
    But—
[04:14] Bee
    No ifs, ands, or buts!
[04:15] Bee
    Oh, for crying out loud! Over here, you!
[04:23] Bee
    Come here!
[04:25] Bee
    Huh?
[04:27] Bee
    Who are you?
[04:29] Bee
    Wait, that's dangerous!
[04:31] Will
    Blood told me
[04:33] Will
    that when facing a wild animal,
[04:34] Will
    the moment you break eye contact, you lose.
[04:38] Will
    Well, come at me if you're going to.
[04:40] Will
    We can do a little wrestling.
[05:01] Will
    Thank goodness. I didn't have to fight it.
[05:04] Will
    Are you okay?
[05:05] Bee
    Hey, who the heck are you?! An adventurer?!
[05:08] Bee
    Not many people can stop an agitated
    giant ape just by looking at it!
[05:11] Bee
    You're awesome! Awesome!
[05:13] Bee
    Oh! I'm Robina! Robina Goodfellow!
[05:16] Bee
    I'm a troubadour! I sing, I dance,
    I go where the wind takes me!
[05:19] Bee
    You can call me Bee!
[05:21] Bee
    And that dork over there
    is Antonio the hawker.
[05:23] Bee
    I call him Tonio!
[05:25] Bee
    The company he worked for went under,
[05:27] Bee
    so now he passes himself off as a
    hawker on remote country roads!
[05:31] Tonio
    I didn't even get a chance to speak.
[05:34] Tonio
    I'm on my way back to
    Whitesails, my home base.
[05:38] Will
    Whitesails?
[05:39] Tonio
    Boy, you really saved our hides.
[05:41] Tonio
    Thank you so much.
[05:44] Menel
    I'm Meneldor. I hunt around here.
[05:47] Menel
    We were just heading toward the
    town to do some shopping.
[05:49] Will
    And that's...
[05:51] Will
    William. William G. Maryblood.
[05:54] Will
    I'm a priest in service to Gracefeel,
    the goddess of light.
[05:58] Will
    You can call me Will.
[05:59] Bee
    Wow, that's a totally noble-sounding name!
[06:01] Bee
    And Gracefeel's the one they love
    in the southern continent, right?
[06:04] Bee
    Wow, wow! I didn't know
    she still had priests!
[06:07] Bee
    And you're not just a priest, but a
    capable warrior priest! Aren't you?
[06:09] Bee
    Aren't you?! Aren't you?!
[06:11] Menel
    Yeah, he may look pretty spacey,
    but he's stupidly skilled.
[06:15] Menel
    I mean, I hardly ever get attacked by
    any beasts when I'm walking with him.
[06:19] Bee
    You mean the beasts know how
    strong he is and avoid him?!
[06:22] Bee
    What the heck?! That's so cool!
[06:24] Will
    What? You usually see more?
[06:26] Tonio
    Of course.
[06:28] Tonio
    That's why this place
    is called Beast Woods.
[06:30] Will
    It feels like their eyes
    are piercing me...
[06:33] Menel
    Anyway, is it just the two of you?
[06:35] Menel
    No escort? Or were they killed?
[06:37] Tonio
    Actually, when we ran into
    that giant ape back there...
[06:41] Tonio
    I'm embarrassed to say that they ran away.
[06:45] Menel
    Some guys who were there for show conned
    you out of their up-front pay and bolted?
[06:48] Menel
    You gotta get some better
    judgment, peddler.
[06:52] Tonio
    I'm so ashamed...
[06:53] Bee
    And they made a big ol' racket
    when they ran! It was nuts!
[06:57] Bee
    Giant apes don't even attack people,
    usually. They just look scary!
[07:01] Will
    They both lost their guards?
[07:04] Will
    What are you going to do now?
[07:05] Menel
    We could take you with us, if you want.
[07:08] Menel
    We'll just say you owe us one.
[07:11] Menel
    I'll do the deal-making, not you.
[07:14] Tonio
    Owe you one... of what?
[07:17] Menel
    We want to buy some cows and
    horses and such in Whitesails.
[07:20] Tonio
    Ah, I get it.
[07:22] Tonio
    If that's what you want, I'm glad to help.
[07:25] Tonio
    I'll introduce you to a dealer I know.
[07:27] Menel
    We appreciate it. And sorry for butting in.
[07:31] Menel
    He doesn't know much about how
    the world works, you see.
[07:33] Bee
    Oh, so he really was born a noble?
[07:36] Bee
    He has that air about him!
    Like he's pure and untainted!
[07:40] Will
    N-Nah...
[07:41] Will
    If I told you about my origins,
    I doubt you'd even believe me...
[07:45] Bee
    You mean you're of such noble birth that
    you can't talk about your family?!
[07:49] Bee
    And a priest to an unsung god, no less!
[07:52] Bee
    Wow, that's fantastic! Fantastic!
[07:54] Bee
    My bardic heart is filling
    with inspiration!
[07:57] Will
    R-Right...
[07:58] Will
    Wait... No matter what I say,
    it leads to misunderstandings...
[08:02] Will
    What?
[08:03] Menel
    Okay, that's settled. Let's get moving.
[08:06] Bee
    Yeah! Let's go, let's go!
[08:16] Bee
    Oh, this place looks perfect!
[08:18] Bee
    Whee! Here I am!
[08:21] Will
    Bee and Tonio warmed up to me quickly.
[08:24] Will
    Tonio has a gentle demeanor, and he's
    good at getting close to others.
[08:28] Will
    As for Bee, she doesn't seem to have
    any concept of distance from people.
[08:32] Bee
    Okay, I guess it's time
    to give you all a song!
[08:36] Bee
    Will, clap along for me,
    and collect any donations!
[08:39] Will
    Sure. You can count on me, Bee.
[08:49] Bee
    Listen now to the notes of my song
[08:55] Will
    It's amazing.
[08:57] Will
    Every time we walk into a village,
    she goes wild and gets everyone in on it.
[08:57] Bee
    As my words ring out by the silently burning fire
[09:00] Menel
    She's always like that.
    I'm impressed she doesn't get tired.
[09:03] Tonio BG
    I see.
[09:04] Tonio BG
    Then these items here should
    fulfill your needs.
[09:05] Menel
    They make a good combination
    for doing business.
[09:05] Bee
    Gloriously blooming spirits of spring
[09:08] Will
    Huh?
[09:08] Menel
    A lot of hawkers use high-pressure
    tactics or even petty thievery.
[09:09] Tonio BG
    She's hurt?
[09:11] Tonio BG
    Let's see if I can get the
    priest to take a look at it.
[09:13] Bee
    Joyfully laugh and dance
[09:13] Will
    I see...
[09:14] Menel
    Looks like he wasn't lying
    about working for a company.
[09:17] Tonio
    Hey, Will...
[09:18] Tonio
    there's something I'd like to ask you.
[09:20] Bee
    Gloriously blooming spirits of spring
[09:21] Will
    What is it?
[09:23] Tonio
    Can the blessing you invoke
    heal sickness and injury?
[09:28] Will
    Yes, it can.
[09:28] Bee
    Joyfully laugh and dance
[09:29] Tonio
    I see. Then I have a proposal for you.
[09:33] Will
    Goddess of Light...
[09:36] Will
    You're all better now.
[09:39] Mom
    U-Um... How much do I owe you?
[09:43] Will
    Oh, don't worry about that.
[09:45] Will
    You can offer your gratitude to Gracefeel.
[09:47] Will
    And if Tonio has anything you like,
    please buy something from him.
[09:51] Will
    I'm still just in training.
[09:54] Mom
    Okay! Thank you so much!
[09:57] Mom
    We'll get something to
    celebrate your recovery.
[10:00] Tonio
    How about this hair ornament?
[10:03] Menel
    So Bee attracts people, Will offers
    healing, and both bring him business.
[10:08] Menel
    That Tonio's pretty smart.
[10:10] Will
    Yeah. And it'll help with the return
    of the goddess of light, too.
[10:14] Menel
    That power of yours is pretty
    damn impressive, though.
[10:16] Will
    Well, the blessing is a rewrite of
    reality through the power of a god.
[10:21] Will
    That's how it can heal a wound
    as if it had never happened.
[10:24] Menel
    Huh...
[10:25] Will
    I'm borrowing this power from the goddess.
[10:28] Will
    I have to be careful not to
    mistake it for my own power.
[10:32] Will
    Wh-What?
[10:34] Menel
    Still in training, huh?
[10:36] Will
    Er... I really am still training.
[10:39] Bee
    Will!
[10:40] Bee
    Done with your free treatments?
[10:41] Will
    Oh, yeah.
[10:42] Bee
    Then come with me!
[10:44] Will
    Huh? What for?
[10:44] Bee
    There's a party to celebrate
    everyone's recovery!
[10:47] Will
    Right now?!
[10:48] Menel
    If they're at the party,
    she can sing again,
[10:50] Menel
    and he can sell more goods.
[10:52] Menel
    He really is a good salesman.
[10:57] Will
    We continued to pass through several
    villages, earning money in the same way,
[11:02] Will
    as we made our way north
    for a couple of weeks.
[11:04] Will
    Then we emerged onto Wheat Road.
[11:09] Menel
    Let's sleep over there tonight.
[11:12] Menel
    Man, you guys went too
    crazy. It's already dark.
[11:16] Will
    Sorry about that.
[11:17] Bee
    I'm in a good mood today!
[11:20] Bee
    I'll give you a free performance!
[11:22] Menel
    Wow, how generous of you.
[11:24] Bee
    Hee hee! Now, what should I sing, I wonder?
[11:27] Bee
    "Reystov the Penetrator" is
    too common these days...
[11:33] Bee
    I know! How about the epic of the Three Heroes from The Killing of the High King,
[11:36] Bee
    The Wandering Sage, The War Ogre,
    and The Beloved Daughter of Mater?
[11:42] Tonio
    Ah, that sounds great.
[11:43] Menel
    It's a fitting subject.
[11:46] Bee
    I guess I haven't performed it for a while.
[11:48] Bee
    Hey, what's wrong, Will?
[11:50] Will
    Oh, it's nothing.
[11:52] Will
    Go ahead and sing it. I'd love to hear it.
[11:54] Bee
    Oh, I like that! You latched right on!
[11:57] Bee
    Okay, let's get started!
[12:00] Bee
    Time passes by... no, perhaps
    it is us who pass by.
[12:04] Bee
    Be it the strong warrior, the brilliant sage,
    or the holy woman,
[12:09] Bee
    with the turning of the moons, naught but
    their ashes and their names remain.
[12:09] Will
    Their names really are remembered...
[12:14] Bee
    This is precisely why their
    song must be lifted up high,
[12:17] Bee
    with a prayer that their
    deeds live forever,
[12:19] Bee
    that their heroic names resound
    throughout the world.
[12:22] Bee
    I sing this night of the Wyvern Killer,
[12:25] Bee
    one of the many heroic exploits
    of the Three Heroes.

[12:28] Bee
    Keep quiet, now, and listen, all of you...
[12:37] Bee
    Carrying the demonblade forged by the stars,
[12:43] Will
    Jeez, Blood...
[12:43] Bee
    onward walks the man with fiery red hair.
[12:44] Will
    You never talked about yourself at all.
[12:47] Will
    So this is what you did in your past.
[12:49] Bee
    He has cast aside all names man has given him
[12:54] Bee
    As time has passed, now no one knows
[13:00] Bee
    The true name of the man
    who walks in the fields
[13:02] Will
    So I guess no one knows
    Augustus's real name...
[13:06] Bee
    When asked if she is
    a princess from another land
[13:12] Bee
    The healer merely smiles and does not answer
[13:16] Will
    Mary's refined manner definitely gave
    the impression of noble origins,
[13:20] Will
    but I'd believe it if someone told me
    she came from a poor village, too.
[13:26] Bee
    These days are now long in the past.
[13:30] Bee
    O countless wishes now
    left with no way home,
[13:33] Bee
    I can but play your melody loudly,
    to be carried on the passing winds.
[13:39] Will
    The story takes place before
    they were known as heroes,
[13:42] Will
    when the three of them
    were traveling together.
[13:45] Will
    A certain remote village that they visited
[13:47] Will
    was attacked by a wyvern,
[13:50] Will
    and a beautiful half-elf was chosen
    as a sacrifice to appease it.
[13:54] Will
    Upon hearing of this,
    Mary said they should save her,
[13:58] Will
    but Blood asked where they
    could possibly get the money,
[14:00] Will
    and Gus said nothing.
[14:03] Will
    Their personalities in the
    song are a bit off, I think.
[14:07] Will
    But still, it brings their voices, words,
    and expressions clearly to my mind.
[14:31] (Flashback) Mary
    Who are you?
[14:35] (Flashback) Blood
    You think we're gonna take
    on a wyvern for that?
[14:44] (Flashback) Gus
    Ah, what fine money. Look how it shines.
[14:48] (Flashback) Gus
    If we're given such fine payment...
[14:51] (Flashback) Mary
    Then we have no choice but to do the job.
[14:54] (Flashback) Blood
    Damn, you're such pushovers.
    There's no profit in this.
[14:57] (Flashback) Boy
    If it's not enough, I'll pay more!
[14:59] (Flashback) Boy
    Sell me to a slave trader
    or whatever you want!
[15:01] (Flashback) Blood
    You think even that would be enough?
[15:09] (Flashback) Blood
    But you do have some guts on ya.
[15:10] (Flashback) Blood
    You're small, but you're a warrior.
[15:13] (Flashback) Blood
    It's only right to help a warrior who
    swallows his pride to ask for help.
[15:19] (Flashback) Blood
    Let's do it.
[15:20] (Flashback) Mary
    Yes.
[15:21] (Flashback) Gus
    Indeed.

[16:09] (Flashback) Blood
    So what're you gonna do now?
[16:11] (Flashback) Mary
    Neither of you can stay
    in that village anymore.
[16:14] (Flashback) Boy
    We'll figure it out.
[16:17] (Flashback) Blood
    Then take this with you.
[16:18] (Flashback) Blood
    Old Gus here carved Words on it.
[16:21] (Flashback) Blood
    It'll serve you better than
    some cheap good luck charm.
[16:24] (Flashback) Blood
    You can't be a warrior if you don't
    have at least one dagger, after all.
[16:28] (Flashback) Mary
    Take this, as well.
[16:30] (Flashback) Mary
    Take care of yourselves, and of each other.
[16:33] (Flashback) Mary
    You will face many difficulties,
[16:35] (Flashback) Mary
    but never forget the value of perseverance.
[16:38] (Flashback) Boy
    This is more than what I paid you!
[16:40] (Flashback) Girl
    We can't accept this.
[16:41] (Flashback) Gus
    Hah! Who said we were giving it to you?
[16:44] (Flashback) Gus
    It's an investment.
    We're only lending it to you.
[16:47] (Flashback) Girl
    Lending?
[16:48] (Flashback) Gus
    Listen.
[16:49] (Flashback) Gus
    You two must live the best you can,
[16:52] (Flashback) Gus
    build up savings, and make
    names for yourselves.
[16:54] (Flashback) Gus
    If your names someday reach our ears,
[16:57] (Flashback) Gus
    we will come to collect what
    we've lent you, plus interest.
[17:01] (Flashback) Gus
    In preparation, I will
    give you my real name.
[17:05] (Flashback) Gus
    This will be our password. Listen well.
[17:08] Bee
    Thus the boy and girl learned the
    true name of the Wandering Sage,
[17:12] Bee
    known to no one else in the world.
[17:16] Bee
    Hand in hand, the boy and girl
    made their way to the city,
[17:20] Bee
    and the Three Heroes walked down the
    road in search of a new adventure.
[17:26] Bee
    That's the end of the song,
[17:28] Bee
    but there's more to the story.
[17:30] Bee
    Count Dagger of the Fertile Kingdom...
[17:33] Bee
    His actual surname was Wizardsdagger.
[17:36] Bee
    To this day, an elderly half-elf
    woman still waits at his mansion.
[17:41] Will
    Does that mean...
[17:42] Bee
    She believes someone who knows the sage's
    true name will come to her one day,
[17:47] Bee
    so that she can return what he lent to her,
[17:50] Bee
    along with what he lent to her husband.
[17:53] Bee
    She plans to offer her thanks
    to him when that day comes.
[17:57] Bee
    That's what the story is about...
[17:59] Bee
    A story of three great heroes
    that still echoes to this day.
[18:03] Bee
    Huh? Will, are you crying?
[18:06] Will
    N-No, I'm not. I'm not crying.
[18:09] Bee
    Aw, c'mon, now!
[18:11] Bee
    You must've been really
    moved by Bee's story, huh?
[18:14] Will
    No, it's not that!
[18:16] Bee
    Aw, don't be shy!
[18:18] Will
    There are still many people in this
    world who remember you three.
[18:23] Will
    There always were.
[18:25] Will
    That makes me so happy.
[18:37] Will
    The Fertile Kingdom, huh?
[18:39] Will
    Once we cross the sea, we'll meet people who
    still talk about Blood and the others.
[18:44] Tonio
    Hi there.
[18:45] Tonio
    You're working hard.
[18:48] Will
    Tonio.
[18:51] Tonio
    Will, you are strong.
[18:53] Will
    You think so?
[18:55] Tonio
    I can clearly see how polished
    your movements are.
[18:59] Tonio
    Then again, maybe you don't
    want to hear that from a guy
[19:03] Tonio
    who got conned by phony adventurers...
[19:05] Tonio
    But you're obviously used to
    handling that fine dwarven spear.
[19:10] Tonio
    Anyone who can wield a dwarven masterpiece
    is a masterpiece themselves.
[19:14] Tonio
    But there's one thing I don't understand.
[19:17] Will
    Something you don't understand?
[19:20] Tonio
    What is it that you want?
[19:23] Will
    What do I... Why do you ask?
[19:25] Tonio
    Because I'm a merchant.
[19:28] Tonio
    It's my job to move merchandise
    and grant people's wishes
[19:33] Tonio
    in exchange for fair compensation.
[19:36] Tonio
    You are quite a mystery.
[19:39] Tonio
    I've never met anyone like you before.
[19:42] Tonio
    You are strong, and you have courage.
[19:45] Tonio
    You have good manners, you are educated,
[19:47] Tonio
    and you aren't hurting for money.
[19:50] Tonio
    But you're not quite like a noble.
[19:52] Tonio
    You're more like a holy knight
    I've heard stories about.
[19:57] Tonio
    Which is why I decided to ask you directly.
[20:01] Tonio
    What is it that you,
    as an individual, wish for?
[20:05] Tonio
    Or are you strictly a representative
    for your goddess?
[20:10] Will
    Um... I...
[20:12] Will
    I had a happy little life up until now,
[20:16] Will
    but I lost it shortly before
    I set out on my own.
[20:19] Will
    I gained the divine protection of
    the goddess of light in its place.
[20:24] Will
    I still don't know anything
    about this world.
[20:27] Will
    So I want to start by learning about it.
[20:30] Will
    I think that, among the things I learn,
[20:32] Will
    I'll find what it is I want.
[20:35] Will
    Oh... and friends.
    I also want companions, I guess.
[20:40] Tonio
    Is Menel not your friend?
[20:43] Will
    Well, actually...
[20:44] Will
    I think we get along fairly well,
[20:47] Will
    but he won't acknowledge me as a friend.
[20:50] Will
    He just calls me "priest,"
    like he's putting me on a pedestal.
[20:55] Will
    Yeah... I want friends.
[20:59] Tonio
    I see.
[21:00] Tonio
    Then perhaps I'll volunteer for
    the third-place position.
[21:04] Will
    Huh?
[21:05] Tonio
    Menel and Robina would be angry
    if I tried to get ahead of them.
[21:09] Tonio
    That would be scary.
[21:14] Tonio
    Well, shall we get some water
    and start preparing breakfast?
[21:18] Will
    Okay.
[21:21] Tonio
    Here you go.
[21:23] Bee
    It's so good!
[21:24] Will
    It really is. You're a great cook, Tonio.
[21:27] Bee
    He sure is!
[21:29] Bee
    To tell you the truth,
    that's why I travel with him!
[21:33] Will
    We're eating a lot better
    now, thanks to Tonio.
[21:37] Menel
    Yeah, since you can't cook worth a lick.
[21:39] Will
    Well, I...
[21:41] Will
    Your cooking isn't so hot either, Menel!
[21:44] Menel
    What? All you gotta do is eat it.
[21:47] Tonio
    And we always get bread
    from Will at lunchtime.
[21:50] Bee
    Isn't that so cool?
    He prays, and bread appears!
[21:53] Tonio
    I'd prefer to stop as little as possible,
[21:56] Tonio
    so I'm grateful to have
    food I can eat as I walk.
[21:59] Menel
    Then let's get ready to leave
    as soon as we're done eating.
[22:02] Will
    Yeah.
[22:03] Bee
    You ask when we will return home,
[22:05] Bee
    but there is no way to know
    when we will return.
[22:07] Menel
    By the way, what's going
    on at Whitesails now?
[22:08] Bee
    As the rain falls, the water
    in the lake stagnates,
[22:10] Bee
    and the two fall silent.
[22:10] Menel
    I've been holing up in
    Beast Woods for a while,
[22:12] Bee
    As the rain pounds, someday,
    someday... ah, someday...
[22:13] Menel
    so I haven't been to the port in ages.
[22:15] Tonio
    A new ruler has taken over
    the Fertile Kingdom.
[22:16] Bee
    the two will draw closer together.
[22:18] Menel
    So Egbert II is...
[22:19] Bee
    His posthumous name is "Egbert the Bold."
[22:21] Bee
    He wasn't a half-bad king.
[22:24] Menel
    I see... So he's dead...
[22:27] Tonio
    Yes... but there's a bit of a problem.
[22:29] Tonio
    His legitimate heir,
    Prince Owen, succeeded him,
[22:32] Tonio
    but he falls short of his father,
[22:34] Tonio
    and the lords have suggested that
    now is the time to advance south.
[22:38] Will
    That sounds bad...
[22:40] Tonio
    Fortunately, this hasn't had any
    great effect on Southmark yet.
[22:44] Tonio
    The king's brother, who was dispatched
    to Whitesails, is a great, wise man.
[22:49] Tonio
    The crown prince, Ethelbald Rex Fertile.
[22:53] Tonio
    He comes from a different
    mother than King Owen,
[22:55] Tonio
    but he excels with both the pen
    and the sword, like his father.
[22:59] Tonio
    It is due to Prince Ethel's rule
[23:02] Tonio
    that the government of
    Whitesails continues to run.
[23:05] Will
    Sounds like a complicated situation...
[23:11] Bee
    Will!
[23:12] Bee
    C'mon, this way!
[23:12] Menel
    What now?
[23:14] Bee
    This is your first time seeing it, right?
[23:16] Bee
    There, look!
[23:20] Will
    The city...
[23:22] Will
    Just one symbol of what Blood, Mary,
    and Gus gave their lives to protect.
[23:29] Bee
    That's Whitesails!
