Chancellor Esmond.
Prepare the blood oath, quickly.
Right away!
Cedric...
you've made your point.
I will trust your decision.
Yohan!
However...
if the people do not approve, it will all be in vain.
Make sure you're prepared for the worst.

The Blasphemous Princess Takes a Stand
What in the world is the king doing?
And at this point in time...
Our nation will withdraw our surrender to the Kingdom of Copelandii.
We will take up arms alongside Cercis and Freesia,
and defend ourselves instead!
What?!
You'd really get the Kingdom of Cercis involved?
But we need to protect them!
We were ready to sacrifice everything for them!
Please, convince King Lance otherwise!
Your Highness!
I can't! They are adamant on this.
Let us rally our forces around Cercis and the Kingdom of Freesia,
to fight off the invasion.
Freesia?
What's that?
Is he doing...
a blood oath?!
I swear this to you!
The Kingdom of Chinensis will maintain its culture, its name, and everything else!
Please, wait!
We understand what you are willing to do, Your Royal Highness!
However...
We don't stand a chance against them.
And how can we know that Freesia is trustworthy?
Nobody can say for sure they won't just turn their backs on us!
Besides, we can't fight back and risk the chance of losing,
since it could bring harm to you, Your Highness!
So I beg you, please rethink your decision once more!
He's right!
Please, Your Highness!
Your Highness, reconsider!
We beg you!
Is your king's bravery not enough for you?!
Fine, then let me up the ante!
I am the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Freesia,
and my name is Pride Royal Ivy!
I am the origin of this disturbance!
Freesia!
Then she's the one!
She pushed him into this!
If His Highness King Yohan doesn't fulfill his oath,
how about he atones for that crime by burning alive at the stake?
You are depraved!
You Freesian devil!
Someone remove her from there!
That's not all.
I shall stand next to him,
and be scorched by the flame as well!
If, even with the help of Freesia,
the Kingdom of Chinensis becomes a colony or a province,
then I will cast myself into the fire together with King Yohan.
These clothes!
This skin!
This flesh!
All of it will be laid bare before the general public,
and I will devote my heart to all of you!
I cannot thoughtlessly make an oath to your God.
And so, I will swear an oath to your second most revered being.
To King Yohan, whom you love and adore...
and to all of you, who are adored by His Highness.
By the blood oath,
I swear under the God of the Kingdom of Chinensis!
The Kingdom of Freeisa WILL protect the United Hanazuo Kingdom to the very end!
If I fail to keep this oath,
then I will be turned to ashes along with His Royal Highness!
My country has vast lands and boasts mighty military power,
the great nation of Freesia!
And the ones who will protect all of you are the proud Royal Imperial Knights!
We will never lose, especially not to some third-rate country!
We pride ourselves on protecting our nation
and all the nations that we've forged alliances with!
What do you pride yourselves on?!
Without trust in your beloved king, or trust in the people of Cercis,
then you cannot claim to have faith!
King Yohan's beloved friend,
the second-born prince of the Kingdom of Cercis,
trusted in me and my people.
His Royal Highness then extended his faith to us through that second-born prince.
Now, the onus is on all of you to believe!
Freesia will do everything it can to protect you!
We are with King Yohan, who prays for the future of this country!
Cercis, Freesia, and His Highness are taking a stand!
All that is left is you, the proud people of Chinensis!
Does the Kingdom of Chinensis intend to make its king fight alone?!
We will fight alongside our neighbors for this country that God loves!
I will go!
For the future of your children!
Now, my people!
Join me and take a stand!
For the future of our country...
for the future of the United Hanazuo Kingdom!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Together with His Highness!
Together with the United Hanazuo Kingdom!
Together with God!
Together with Freesia!
God is here with us!
Princess Pride!
Elder Sister!
Why did you do something so reckless?!
I'm fine, I barely bled.
That isn't the point!
Do you understand what you've done?!
You know what happens to you if we can't protect the United Hanazuo Kingdom!
Yes.
I swore I'd be burned at the stake.
Well, I didn't think I'd get their trust if I didn't go that far.
If we win...
that definitely won't happen to you, right?
Is he angry?!
Yes, exactly.
If we can protect everyone, then everything is fine.
That's the entire reason I made the oath.
Hey, Arthur...
All right, then.
We're gonna protect them for sure.
Right?
Of course we are.
Elder Sister...
I'm sorry I made you worry.
It's okay.
I have total faith.
Our knights will get the job done.
I'm not afraid at all.
I'll go deliver the news to the commander of the knights.
Uh, well...
Wait, wait!
The commander will be absolutely pissed if he finds out!
He needs to know, since we can't even entertain the worst case scenario anymore.
However...
I won't tell Gilbert about it. Not YET, anyway.
Don't worry.
Now I've done it!
Both Stale and Arthur are angry!
Crown Princess Pride...
your country has never had dealings with ours before now.
Why are you going so far for us?
Because I made a promise.
To King Lance, and also to Cedric.
I understand that!
But you can't risk your life for such a small country!
You have citizens...
There's no greater value to a country than that.
If the life of the Last Boss Pride is all it takes
to get the entire population of the Kingdom of Chinensis to rise up,
then it's well worth it.
My life is a small price to pay.
The only thing I did was make an oath.
It was your presence that truly moved the hearts of the people.
And the person who got us involved...
was none other than Cedric.
Cedric...
You've grown so much.
Stop with that, Yohan.
I'm already 17.
Don't you mean, "you're messing up my hair"?
Thanks, Cedric.
I'm sorry I put you through a hard time.
In the game...
the Heretical Pride causes their bond to be completely cut off.
So Cedric and Yohan end up at odds with each other.
However...
Oh really, so Yohan agreed.
Yes, he's prepared to fight alongside us.
I thank you...
for absolutely everything!
Concerning the formations and defensive positions for the upcoming battle,
I'd like to use this place to hold
an emergency strategy meeting between the three nations.
After that,
the war strategy meeting between Freesia, Cercis, and Chinensis
went smoothly.
But even so...
May I make another suggestion?
This again?!
Go ahead, please say whatever's on your mind.
I'll take responsibility and give you permission.
How can you so easily put our own life at risk?!
We are not completely guaranteed to win this war!
This is not something we can report back to the queen and the prince consort!
It completely changes the implications
of what this defensive war means to my troops!
He's super pissed...
Please let my knights handle it.
I'm truly sorry...
but I just wanted to show everyone exactly how committed I am.
We had not a single intention of losing from the very beginning.
But this defensive war is not only for the continued existence of Hanazuo...
The future of our country, the Kingdom of Freesia,
is now also on the line.
Understand, Elder Sister?
Or rather...
the future queen, Her Highness, Crown Princess Pride.
Yes.
That really struck home.
That was the first time in my life,
where it really hit me that I have to survive at all costs.
Please take care, Elder Sister and Brother!
If things get dangerous make sure you call for Arthur!
Please watch out for them!
Yes, ma'am!
Tiara.
Be good and stay right here, okay?
Pride!
What's wrong, Cedric?
Take care of Yohan, and Big Bro.
Yes, of course.
Tell me...
How can I be strong like you are?
I'm just doing everything I can to protect the things I want to keep safe.
It isn't a hard thing to do.
And you...
Don't you dare hold back next time.
It's all right.
I'm sure they'll be safe now.
I know he still hasn't processed what's happening.
But...
I don't want him to lose those two like he did in the game.
Just as Arthur and Leon did...
I hope the day he can take a stand happens,
without a tragedy calling for it.
Well, I'm leaving now.
I was so envious of Pride's strength.
Unlike me, who is always being protected,
her strength was simply too dazzling.
Don't you dare hold back next time.
Holding back, huh...
What kind of potential do I have?
Elder Sister.
Can I tell you one thing before the battle?
I am not a knight.
I may be the weakest person here right now.
But even so, I will swear this to you.
I, and the rest of us here,
will give our lives to protect you.
Is it all right for them to protect me?
This is a battle to protect the United Hanazuo Kingdom.
Yohan! Cedric?!
Why are you two bending the knee as well?!
Lance.
Crown Princess Pride has already decided to share the fate of our countries.
That's why we want to honor her like this.
Crown Princess Pride...
As king of the Kingdom of Cercis,
I cannot kneel down before you now.
However, after we've won this battle,
I promise that I will also show you my respect in kind!
I owe a debt of gratitude to the Kingdom of Freesia,
one greater than can be put into words!
Thank you.
Thanks, Stale.
Your Highness, King Lance!
Your Highness, King Yohan!
We are with you.
Now, we are one with the United Hanazuo Kingdom!
For the United Hanazuo Kingdom!
For our victory!
The war is starting.
And on the battlefield...
no, even far beyond there, countless tragedies are waiting.
And the most heretical last boss, Pride, is at the root of it all.
The most atrocious queen, who is beheaded in the end.
Right.
That's why...
until that very end...
I will fight for the people!
