1
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,020


2
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


3
00:00:02,510 --> 00:00:04,790
The other side has impressive numbers.

4
00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:09,250
As for us, we have ten 
mastis led by Marf...

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,010
and Aymer.

6
00:00:11,590 --> 00:00:14,880
If only Eldan were on our side, too.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,420
Even if Eldan has his doubts,
I wrote back that he should follow orders.

8
00:00:22,810 --> 00:00:26,150
But wasn't there
 another letter after that?

9
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:31,530
About the other side's military might and 
when he should plan to switch sides?

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,460
He has a laudable dream.

11
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:38,040
I told him not to risk ruining it.

12
00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:40,490
Shouldn't we have the onikin here?

13
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:43,790
Or at least Lady Alna?

14
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,290
I promised to keep 
the onikin village a secret,

15
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:51,120
and Alna has the important 
duty of hiding ours

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,420
and our people with Concealment, 
should it become necessary.

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,980
In other words, this falls on us alone.

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,180
Yeah. I hope this works, everyone.

19
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:04,850
Sir!

20
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:06,110
Woof!

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,960
To be honest,

22
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,730
it's easy enough to rebuild our yurts,
 and we have those carriages.

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,790
We could have run all over 
the plains to evade them.

24
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:21,830
But that would've meant abandoning 
the garden Senai and Ayhan

25
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:23,860
have put so much love into.

26
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:32,570
As their lord, and as their kin,
 I must defend their emotional supports.

27
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:36,540
Dias, what is that?

28
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:38,180
It's a war bell.

29
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:41,930
It's for signaling commands during battle.

30
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,680
A series of clangs means 
all forces are to charge.

31
00:01:44,930 --> 00:01:47,410
Once it stops, they'll come running!

32
00:03:22,450 --> 00:03:24,730
Lord Dias, do we stick to the plan?

33
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:26,120
Yeah.

34
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:28,020
We'll go with Aymer's strategy.

35
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:33,150
Run around and lead them 
into the pitfalls!

36
00:03:33,620 --> 00:03:36,130
We'll find a way to split up
 the enemy forces,

37
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,130
then take Diane down
with a surprise attack.

38
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,860
I'd rather avoid any of the kingdom's
subjects having to kill one another.

39
00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:46,880
Although I'm not sure that's 
going to remain an option.

40
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,270
The heavy infantry halted?

41
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,740
The left and right flanks 
haven't even budged.

42
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:05,340
What kind of tactic is this?

43
00:04:05,660 --> 00:04:11,330
Oh, attendants just went running 
from Diane to each flank.

44
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:12,760
Messengers?

45
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:16,190
Then why'd they bother 
bringing the war bell?

46
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:17,920
What now?

47
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:21,470
We wait and watch
until they make a move.

48
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:23,720
Lord Eldan!

49
00:04:24,190 --> 00:04:27,220
Did you not hear the order 
for all forces to charge?!

50
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,130
I'm honoring my father's dying wish

51
00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:34,230
that I always comport myself
 as a noble and observe teatime.

52
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:38,480
You think that reckless remark justifies 
your defiance of a royal decree?!

53
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,280
I've obeyed the royal decree.

54
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,300
Indeed.

55
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:47,870
We've furnished you with more than 
enough provisions, funds, and troops.

56
00:04:48,380 --> 00:04:51,060
Now you wish me to send in my forces?

57
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:56,370
No decent person would stoop to siccing 
a thousand men on a mere two opponents.

58
00:04:56,610 --> 00:05:00,060
But if you still insist, 
I think waiting until teatime's over

59
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:03,310
would be the polite thing to do
for the party requesting help.

60
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:06,820
Another plot...
 I mean, another pot, please.

61
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:08,390
By all means.

62
00:05:13,390 --> 00:05:16,170
I {\i1}thought{\i0} there was somethin' 
funny about this.

63
00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:19,350
None of the other bands 
would touch this job.

64
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:22,900
Captain Gordon, should 
we just be standing here?

65
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:24,530
We're leaving.

66
00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:25,690
Huh?

67
00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:27,870
But there's only two of them!

68
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:30,480
And the payout is huge.

69
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,660
Listen here.

70
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:33,820
If we go against Dias,

71
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:36,870
every mercenary in the 
kingdom will turn on us.

72
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:41,670
He saved a whole bunch of mercs
during the war.

73
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:42,660
But...

74
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:45,990
Any fool in this business 
who'd challenge him

75
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:49,930
is either a coward who sat out the war
or no better than a bandit.

76
00:05:49,930 --> 00:05:51,300
You louts!

77
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
What are you doing?! 
Take up your arms and charge!

78
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,940
When you don't tell us who we're up
 against on hire, we've got a problem.

79
00:06:00,940 --> 00:06:02,740
That's your advance back.

80
00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:03,570
Huh?!

81
00:06:05,790 --> 00:06:09,320
For some reason, 
the mercenaries are withdrawing.

82
00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:15,060
Eldan is having tea. Buying time, I guess.

83
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:20,680
It doesn't seem like Diane's plan 
is going too well.

84
00:06:21,390 --> 00:06:25,590
That just leaves us to face
 the fifty troops in the center.

85
00:06:25,930 --> 00:06:29,090
Looks like they're lacking
 in both morale and experience.

86
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:33,430
I doubt we'll lose if we work together.

87
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:35,720
Let's change up the plan.

88
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:39,460
We'll best and neutralize the soldiers,

89
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:41,360
then give Diane a good whack, too.

90
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,480
That ought to bring her to her senses.

91
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:48,680
Aymer, cover your ears.

92
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,110
Okay.

93
00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:00,500
That was a good battle cry.

94
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:05,120
If Dias refuses to lay a hand on her, 
we'll have to handle this ourselves.

95
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:11,270
It's important for wives to support 
their husbands on the battlefield.

96
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:12,550
Right!

97
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:16,880
We of the Iluk Wives' Club
 will do our part!

98
00:07:22,270 --> 00:07:25,240
Safety. Treasure. Good news.

99
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,150
Success. Reverberation?

100
00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:31,510
"Reverberation" makes me wonder a bit,

101
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:35,870
but with these tidings,
 I think we can rest assured.

102
00:07:41,150 --> 00:07:42,170
Lady Maya.

103
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:43,640
How did it go?

104
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,790
Just fine. No need for concern.

105
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,030
Oh, that's good.

106
00:07:49,030 --> 00:07:53,220
And it's not as if your fortune-telling 
has ever been wrong.

107
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:56,250
Thank you, Lady Maya.

108
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,550
Thank you.

109
00:08:17,890 --> 00:08:19,620
I made a promise.

110
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:22,620
That I'd protect everyone...

111
00:08:26,410 --> 00:08:27,820
and return alive!

112
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,690
That leaves about half of them.

113
00:08:33,690 --> 00:08:34,720
I'd say!

114
00:08:35,470 --> 00:08:38,220
Their movements are superb,
just like we trained.

115
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,230
Plus, they have those fangs and cloaks 
made from earth dragon materials.

116
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:46,510
Klaus thought up this 
equipment for the small-ilk,

117
00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:48,270
and it's making a huge difference.

118
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:51,260
Okay, just a little more...

119
00:08:57,740 --> 00:09:02,190
Kamalotz, how would you 
evaluate the way they fight?

120
00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:03,910
Let me see...

121
00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:09,610
First, the most striking things are 
Lord Dias's seemingly endless stamina

122
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:12,420
and his tremendous, devastating strength.

123
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:14,870
Yet he's holding back.

124
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:16,740
I'm at a loss for words.

125
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,250
I daresay Sir Klaus functions 
perfectly as Lord Dias's right hand.

126
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:26,690
The exploits of the small-ilk 
are also captivating.

127
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:31,010
It would seem we undervalued them.

128
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:33,320
I'm ashamed to admit it.

129
00:09:33,570 --> 00:09:36,260
I was blind as well.

130
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:38,950
Who would have guessed 
they could fight so well?

131
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:42,910
Lord Dias is doing all the teaching here.

132
00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:51,800
The mercenaries fled, and the 
Kasdeks brat won't do as I say!

133
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,620
The soldiers I brought 
are worthless and weak!

134
00:09:54,940 --> 00:09:56,820
And what use is the first king's scepter

135
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:58,730
that "reduced ten thousand to ash"?!

136
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:00,320
It's not even smoking!

137
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,480
What? What's going on?

138
00:10:07,710 --> 00:10:09,180
Where'd those come from?!

139
00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:14,320
What now, Lady Alna?

140
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,740
Should we bite her? Bark at her?

141
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:18,690
First, I want you ladies
to grab some spoils.

142
00:10:18,690 --> 00:10:22,480
The horse and that 
weird-shaped rod thing.

143
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:26,470
I'm going to drive her deep 
into the eastern forest.

144
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,620
Concealment won't work 
on you once I move away,

145
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,700
so keep your distance from the enemy.

146
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,210
Will do.

147
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,000
I'm going to teach you a lesson in fear
 so you never try this again.

148
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,130
It'd be much faster to just end her,

149
00:11:00,510 --> 00:11:03,630
but Dias seems to have a 
distaste for killing.

150
00:11:07,130 --> 00:11:11,200
If those are my husband's wishes, 
I'll simply support him.

151
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:19,840
We're in luck.

152
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,130
Good thing Dias hasn't killed you yet.

153
00:11:24,830 --> 00:11:26,200
Begging your pardon.

154
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:29,810
Okay, and we've safely 
recovered the seal, too.

155
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:32,820
We're late to the party, 
but it everything worked out.

156
00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:35,480
If you hadn't checked out 
all those eateries,

157
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,440
we'd be long done with this job!

158
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,860
Come on, now.

159
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:41,870
Who's there?!

160
00:11:47,650 --> 00:11:52,050
Was one of Dias's men 
chasing her even now?

161
00:11:54,370 --> 00:11:56,900
Hey! Hold on a minute!

162
00:11:56,900 --> 00:12:00,880
We aren't Dias's enemies! 
In fact, we're on his side!

163
00:12:01,460 --> 00:12:04,180
We're here by order of Richard,

164
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:06,390
who was Dias's apprentice... 
His student, maybe?

165
00:12:06,650 --> 00:12:11,390
Look! These are gold coins 
Richard sends for Dias!

166
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,550
I'm gonna leave them for you!

167
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:21,360
Things'll work out best for Dias if we 
turn this woman over to Richard!

168
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,650
Please believe me!

169
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:31,970
F-Fine!

170
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:33,870
You can have that pouch, too!

171
00:12:38,130 --> 00:12:39,430
Okay.

172
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:40,870
Let's get outta here.

173
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:42,170
Y-Yeah!

174
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:55,120
He must be involved 
with an orphan Dias raised,

175
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,860
but his Soul Appraisal 
was white tinged with red.

176
00:12:59,110 --> 00:13:03,110
Anyway, I'll head back
and inform Dias of this.

177
00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:06,460
He's probably tired 
from all the fighting.

178
00:13:06,460 --> 00:13:09,620
I'll make him something delicious.

179
00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:11,370
In fact...

180
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:15,460
Great job, Dias. It's massage time.

181
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:17,710
Just make yourself comfortable.

182
00:13:18,180 --> 00:13:21,710
Leave everything in my hands. All of it.

183
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:30,970
THE FRONTIER LORD AND THE GRASSLAND BATTLE

184
00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:36,340
Looks like it's over.

185
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:37,350
Yes, sir!

186
00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:39,130
You all did well!

187
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,230
Let out a cry of triumph!

188
00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:45,280
Victory is ours!

189
00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:49,740
No losses on our side.

190
00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:56,000
The enemy soldiers probably suffered 
a few injuries, but no fatalities.

191
00:13:56,330 --> 00:13:58,660
It's too bad their ringleader, 
Diane, got away.

192
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:01,380
I wanted to give her a piece of my mind.

193
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,750
Ow!

194
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:05,710
If you didn't want to kill anyone,

195
00:14:05,710 --> 00:14:08,860
you should've used the 
pitfalls like we planned!

196
00:14:08,860 --> 00:14:12,660
The way you fight, I'm surprised 
you survived the war!

197
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:16,580
In the war, I had a comrade 
who was good at tactics,

198
00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:19,020
so I fought the way he said to.

199
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,580
Lord Dias!

200
00:14:27,650 --> 00:14:31,640
I've come to surrender and discuss 
the release of prisoners!

201
00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:34,080
Eldan.

202
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,620
Negotiating about prisoners 
is one thing, but surrendering?

203
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:38,930
What are you thinking?

204
00:14:38,930 --> 00:14:43,570
We led an invading army
 into your territory.

205
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:48,430
Royal law considers this a border 
violation and an act of aggression.

206
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,750
Okay, but to call it an aggression is...

207
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:56,420
Diane has fled, and the credibility 
of that royal decree is in question.

208
00:14:56,420 --> 00:15:02,020
We must surrender to you 
immediately and sue for peace.

209
00:15:02,020 --> 00:15:04,570
Yes, but you were never...

210
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:05,720
Dias.

211
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,530
Eldan wants to be able to {\i1}say{\i0} he 
surrendered and reconciled with you.

212
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:18,540
All right. Then I accept 
your peace proposal.

213
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:23,150
You've done right by me, 
so I'm fine with you setting the terms.

214
00:15:23,530 --> 00:15:26,280
I'm grateful for your generous gesture.

215
00:15:26,780 --> 00:15:31,010
I plan to seek an audience 
with His Majesty,

216
00:15:31,010 --> 00:15:35,300
so any additional bargaining 
chips would be helpful.

217
00:15:35,650 --> 00:15:38,640
You're going to bargain
 with the king? Impressive.

218
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,060
Well, feel free to mention 
my name or whatever you need.

219
00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:45,010
Thank you kindly!

220
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,390
Looks like today was a big win, Dias.

221
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,450
I have to say, you were very manly.

222
00:15:52,740 --> 00:15:53,950
Alna!

223
00:15:54,430 --> 00:15:56,430
I was chasing after Diane,

224
00:15:56,430 --> 00:15:59,450
and I came across a messenger 
from a child you raised.

225
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,750
His name is Richard, apparently.

226
00:16:03,970 --> 00:16:05,080
Richard?

227
00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:10,870
I was told that Richard would 
pass judgment on Diane.

228
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:15,590
He also sent along this money for you.

229
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:18,510
Talk about a boy 
who values his father figure!

230
00:16:18,850 --> 00:16:22,680
Richard? Did I know a kid named that?

231
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:37,020
The Iluk Wives' Club is making it 
easy to haul the spoils.

232
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:38,120
Yeah.

233
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:44,220
The reparation goods from Eldan meant 
more to lug, so I appreciate it.

234
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:46,130
By the way...

235
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,130
What?

236
00:16:47,130 --> 00:16:51,520
I thought I asked you to stay behind 
so you could hide the whole village

237
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,130
if it came down to that.

238
00:16:54,130 --> 00:16:56,630
And I told you last night...

239
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,630
The Wives' Club will 
be there tomorrow, too.

240
00:16:59,630 --> 00:17:00,760
M'kay.

241
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,020
Did you just answer automatically?

242
00:17:04,050 --> 00:17:05,520
I'm sorry.

243
00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:11,100
Honestly! How could I hole up in the 
village during such an important battle?

244
00:17:13,410 --> 00:17:14,900
Welcome home, Dias!

245
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:16,670
Welcome home!

246
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:18,620
We're back.

247
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,870
Canis!

248
00:17:19,870 --> 00:17:21,120
Klaus!

249
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:23,790
I kept my promise!

250
00:17:24,330 --> 00:17:26,790
Thank you for coming home.

251
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,290
We'll sort this out tomorrow.

252
00:17:31,290 --> 00:17:32,800
Yeah, good idea.

253
00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:35,840
Looks like Klaus is busy anyway.

254
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,670
I love you, Canis.

255
00:17:37,670 --> 00:17:40,300
I love you too, Klaus!

256
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,110
Excuse me.

257
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:47,690
Could I take a look at that rod?

258
00:17:50,050 --> 00:17:53,740
There are signs that magical energy
 is stored in that gem.

259
00:17:54,110 --> 00:17:56,190
Want me to test it by adding some?

260
00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:02,330
Intox, iko, fifte...

261
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:07,940
Tefif, yurst, steek, tolnee...

262
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,090
Nothing's happening.

263
00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:16,980
This feeling...

264
00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:19,800
It reminds me of my battle-axe.

265
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,370
THE ROYAL CAPITAL

266
00:18:42,670 --> 00:18:44,910
Please, give me one more chance!

267
00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:47,750
Next time... Next time, I will kill him!

268
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:52,480
What can I hope for from someone 
who's failed thrice before?

269
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,730
I beg you!

270
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:55,630
Without your funding, Prince Meiser, I—

271
00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:59,710
I have no more money to spare 
on an incompetent like you!

272
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,990
Go die in a ditch.

273
00:19:01,990 --> 00:19:03,140
Please, wait!

274
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:05,050
Just one more chance!

275
00:19:05,050 --> 00:19:07,550
I swear I won't fail!

276
00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:20,130
Diane incurred Father's wrath, 
and she's been confined to the temple.

277
00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:22,220
And it's come out that Prince Meiser

278
00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:26,660
appropriated the money and 
goods meant for Dias.

279
00:19:27,290 --> 00:19:30,580
Meiser claims a noble in his 
faction acted on his own,

280
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:36,170
so he's escaped any direct punishment, 
but his faction has also collapsed.

281
00:19:36,170 --> 00:19:42,300
Which means you're a big step closer 
to being the next king, Richard.

282
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:43,800
That it does.

283
00:19:44,910 --> 00:19:45,930
Prince Richard?

284
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:51,280
Yeesh.

285
00:19:54,170 --> 00:19:56,620
Why's he in such a bad mood?

286
00:19:57,020 --> 00:20:00,970
It would appear that Prince Richard 
is the sole winner here,

287
00:20:00,970 --> 00:20:04,210
but he says the true victor
 was the lord of Kasdeks.

288
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,020
You mean young Eldan?!

289
00:20:08,550 --> 00:20:10,410
When he had his audience with His Majesty,

290
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:14,150
the lord of Kasdeks asked
 for several rewards.

291
00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:15,670
One of them was...

292
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:19,620
I request a three-year tax break
 for my territory

293
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,550
as well as Lord Dias's.

294
00:20:22,940 --> 00:20:24,350
Fine by me.

295
00:20:24,350 --> 00:20:29,680
After all, I erred in all this too by 
allowing the seal to leave my presence.

296
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,110
Kasdeks controls all western trade.

297
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:35,870
If they pay no taxes for three years,

298
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:37,720
it will strengthen them excessively.

299
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,690
That's a problem we can't ignore.

300
00:20:40,090 --> 00:20:43,620
But it was young Eldan who outed Meiser,

301
00:20:43,620 --> 00:20:47,950
and the king adores Dias, 
so how could he refuse?

302
00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:50,450
And to complicate things further...

303
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,050
If I may offer my humble opinion,

304
00:20:53,050 --> 00:20:56,460
I believe Prince Richard would be 
a fitting choice as the next king.

305
00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:58,460
Yes, indeed.

306
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:00,580
Now that it's come to this,

307
00:21:00,580 --> 00:21:04,150
it'd be difficult to urge His Majesty 
to revoke the tax exemption.

308
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,590
Because he can hardly go 
undercutting his own supporter.

309
00:21:08,830 --> 00:21:12,820
It's no wonder Prince Richard is annoyed.

310
00:21:12,820 --> 00:21:16,110
That young lord sure knows 
what he's doing, though.

311
00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:16,850
Yeah.

312
00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:19,790
He excels at exploiting opportunity,

313
00:21:20,130 --> 00:21:22,810
although it was Dias 
who gave him this one.

314
00:21:22,810 --> 00:21:26,740
This whole chain of events 
started with him.

315
00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:31,260
I'll say. I'm just glad 
I didn't run across him.

316
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:33,010
Oh, that reminds me.

317
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:40,750
I managed to recover the seal, 
but the royal scepter is still missing.

318
00:21:44,090 --> 00:21:45,870
That rod is great!

319
00:21:45,870 --> 00:21:48,010
It's easier than flint!

320
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,830
Here, I'll put more 
magical energy into it.

321
00:21:55,860 --> 00:21:57,120
Alna?

322
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:02,020
Dias, if you're worried about anything, 
you can come to me anytime.

323
00:22:03,650 --> 00:22:04,790
Thanks?

324
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:06,410
Let's turn in for the night.

325
00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:09,430
We're tired, and we can't 
let that mess up tomorrow.
