00:00I
00:36Help! Fog Demons are coming after me!
00:40Save me!
00:55The Celestial Trinity is coming.
00:58Go to the Inner Sanctum.
00:59Hurry.
01:04He's holding the demons back for now.
01:06Now go.
01:12Please stay safe, Father.
01:30You are our last line of defense. The kingdom rests in your hands.
01:39Celestial Truity! Save us!
01:51I'm sorry, Your Highness. We can't defeat them. This is the Doral army.
01:56They are no ordinary evil. This army is led by the Dark Lord. That ancient demon is more powerful than
02:02all of us combined.
02:03And when he kills us, he grows stronger. He feasts on dead souls.
02:09Does this mean the kingdom of Verne is doomed?
02:11No, not yet. There's only one man that can save us.
02:14Who?
02:15The one who taught us everything. The most powerful mage in history.
02:19The Oracle Mentor.
02:20But the Oracle Mentor has been in hiding for 20 years, since he last sealed away the Dark Lord. How
02:25could we find him?
02:34You dark goons got nothing better to do?
02:36Eden! Run!
02:38Run! The sky's falling!
02:46Then prop it up. It's no big deal.
02:51Time for your workout, chubby boy. You're on fighting evil duty.
03:05You get an extra snack if you make it quick. Don't think you got away with it.
03:15Two little pets are more than enough for this predictable Doral army. It'll be a piece of cake.
03:26Good lord. I can't believe my eyes. Is that a hellhaut?
03:28And a phoenix? It's him. Our mentor. He's back.
03:35Huh. So this is just a pale imitation?
03:39Doesn't matter. I'll kill it just the same.
03:53It must be the Oracle Mentor. He showed up just in time.
03:57He saved Vern again.
04:01Look. There's a message.
04:03I'm retired. Can't you guys work harder? Can't even beat a pale imitation?
04:07We'll double our training. But the rift you sealed has now reopened.
04:11If it's true form shows itself, we're counting on you, Mentor.
04:18When darkness descends, I shall stand between it and all mankind.
04:29Well, you heard the man.
04:39God-like power. Ancient magic pulses through these lands.
04:44A hellhound? A phoenix?
04:47A master sage must lie just beyond us.
04:50My lord, the king is waiting.
04:55No. We must meet with this mysterious sage.
04:58He could be the savior of our kingdom.
05:02No.
05:27A giant rat.
05:28My lord, are you sure we should be here?
05:30It's a guinea pig, not a rat.
05:36Unbelievable.
05:38These legendary creatures and divine herbs that heal wounds and cure illnesses.
05:45What are you looking at?
05:53Lord Cillian, are you all right?
05:55What did you do, peasant?
05:57Silence!
05:59I am Cillian Vinewood, Duke of Verne.
06:02It is an honor to meet you, Master.
06:05Vinewood?
06:06Vinewood?
06:07Yes, yes, yes, yes. Isabella's apprentice.
06:09How dare you speak the High Priestess' name?
06:11Stay quiet.
06:14Yes.
06:15I was trained by the High Priestess.
06:17Yes, hence I bear her name.
06:19Apologies for the intrusion.
06:21No bother.
06:22So, you share the same lineage.
06:25I taught her a thing or two.
06:27Isabella used to follow me around.
06:34My master only had one mentor.
06:38That means you are...
06:41Just...
06:41Here.
06:43Try one of these.
06:44They're delicious.
06:53Ah, this is the divine fruit.
06:56Only one blooms in millennium.
06:58Don't fawn so much.
06:59So, Isabella sent you, did she?
07:01It wasn't her.
07:04The king is summoning all high-level mages to the harvest banquet.
07:08I was just passing by.
07:13Here is the invitation.
07:15May I humbly request your present?
07:20The whole kingdom needs your help before the Dark Lord returns.
07:26Please, I beg you.
07:31Dad, are you okay?
07:34Dad?
07:35Duke.
07:36It's an honour to serve you.
07:38Dad, that's the Duke.
07:40The king's minister and the High Priestess's proche.
07:42Act proper.
07:43Get up and ditch the straw.
07:44Get up and ditch the straw.
07:49Apologies, my lord.
07:50My father's not familiar with noble etiquette.
07:52Please, sit.
07:53The elf king's legendary sword is disguised as a straw.
07:57Gara doesn't even know his father's true identity.
07:59Duke.
07:59Sit, please.
08:00No need.
08:01I'll stand.
08:02The chair is crude, I know.
08:03We're sorry for the inconvenience.
08:05Oh, just take a seat.
08:06Oh, uh, yes, of course.
08:12Dad!
08:13These are overwrought.
08:14Please, don't!
08:15I'm highly partial to fruit like this.
08:18Wasting food is a sin.
08:20We must set a good example.
08:22Of course, my lord.
08:23I spoke in haste.
08:24Should we not offer Duke the finest blackleaf tea?
08:27Hmm.
08:27Okay, okay, if you say so, son.
08:30Please don't go to any trouble on my account.
08:33I'm not a fan of tea.
08:34Apologies.
08:36What about malt whiskey, Dad?
08:38Could you...
08:38All right, all right.
08:40Fine.
08:41No liquor for you, then.
08:42What are you saying?
08:43The important person was just being considerate.
08:45Good to say.
08:47Just do what you need to do.
08:48Dad, please.
08:49How could you speak to the important person so casually?
08:52If we upset him, we'll be done for.
08:53Please, excuse me.
08:55My lord, please forgive my father.
08:58He didn't mean to.
09:03This is the fruit you gave me earlier.
09:05May I take it?
09:06Keep it.
09:07Take extra if you like them.
09:12I'll take my leave now, mister.
09:15Dad, what was that?
09:17Why'd the Duke?
09:19Beats me.
09:20Guy just popped out of nowhere.
09:22And you?
09:23What are you doing here?
09:25Shouldn't you be in royal capital?
09:28Sir?
09:29Haha.
09:29Very funny.
09:30I'm here because of you.
09:32Demons could strike again at any moment.
09:33Come to Arawith with me, so that I can protect you.
09:36I just made level seven mage.
09:37Seven?
09:38Cute.
09:39Guess I'll still have to protect you.
09:40Why don't you stay here with me?
09:41I'll drive off any demons that show their ugly faces.
09:44Dad, what are you talking about?
09:46You are just a farmer.
09:47You are no match for demons.
09:50I have duties in the royal capital.
09:52Come with me.
09:52I can keep you safe there.
09:54I told you, son.
09:55I'm staying here.
10:00Then I have no choice.
10:03Seize my dad.
10:04Yes, sir.
10:04Take him to royal capital.
10:16Message from Arawith.
10:18What's the matter, sir?
10:20Urgent news.
10:21The banquet has moved up.
10:22I must return at once.
10:24It'll be faster if I ride ahead.
10:26Your priority is getting my dad safely to Arawith.
10:30It's not safe here, dad.
10:32I can't let anything happen to you.
10:34I'll see you in Arawith.
10:37Son.
10:38Please forgive us, mister.
10:50The banquet is in three days.
10:52I'm going to have to go.
10:53My three disciples couldn't even chase off a shadow.
10:56Must I do it all myself?
11:03Why are you smiling?
11:05Mr. Thong!
11:11Sorry, excuse me.
11:13What is that over there?
11:19Hello, yes.
11:22And why is there a line to enter the city?
11:24Watch your tone.
11:25You will address my master as Lord Barry.
11:29Barry.
11:31Peasant.
11:32Arawith is the only safe place under demon attacks.
11:34Yes.
11:35Of course there's a line.
11:37But you...
11:40Go back to whatever backwards little village you came from.
11:43What a fuss over a shadow, isn't it?
11:45I'm just here to see my son.
11:47I'm sure there's a slum for a lowlife like him,
11:49but I doubt there's a bed there for you.
11:51He's a king-appointed knight.
11:54I've never heard such a funny joke.
11:56You're hilarious, old man.
11:58A royal knight would never have a peasant father like you.
12:02Oh, no, no.
12:03He's the, um...
12:06Knight Paramount.
12:07Stop!
12:08Lying!
12:09I'm surprised you've even pronounced the title.
12:11That's a top-ranked knight.
12:13He's bluffing, my lord.
12:14His son is probably just some lowly servant to a noble,
12:19attending to his master's most menial chores even as we speak.
12:24You may pass.
12:26Enjoy being turned away, bum.
12:32Bye-bye, Barry.
12:35Deposit and papers.
12:37Excuse me?
12:39Deposit and papers.
12:42Ah, yes.
12:43Uh, I've got neither.
12:45Sorry.
12:46You fool!
12:46What in the hell are you doing here without these?
12:49You're wasting my time.
12:50Since when did a Vern Itizen need papers and a deposit to get into Aura with?
12:54Rules change.
12:56If you got no docks, no coins, get lost.
12:59Now move on before I lock you up.
13:01What's the holdup?
13:02Sir, this peasant doesn't have documents.
13:05Ah, no, I have this.
13:08What the hell is this?
13:09Silly letter?
13:11Unfortunately, I have to say this is...
13:15The bearer of this letter may command all nobles within Aura with.
13:18Mobilise troops and access royal treasury funds.
13:21All mages and civilians must cooperate.
13:23Valid for 60 years, King Leon IV.
13:29The king is Leon V. Arrest him.
13:31King Leon IV was his father.
13:32I recognise that handwriting.
13:34I have seen it before.
13:36Back then, only one man would have that kind of power.
13:49Ah, I finally found it.
13:52Finally.
13:53I haven't been to the city for years.
13:56Really lost my way.
13:57Hey, you.
13:58This reception is for nobles only.
14:01Lord Roderick is hosting Thra Harvest Banquet tonight.
14:04Asked per the king's orders.
14:05Now get lost.
14:07It's Miss Dewey's carriage.
14:10It's a fancy ride.
14:13I like it.
14:21Where'd this peasant come from?
14:24Harvest Banquet invites such people now?
14:26Absolutely not, Miss Dewey.
14:28He's just stupid and lost.
14:30We're removing him right away.
14:32You better.
14:33This occasion is not for beggars.
14:36It's for people who contribute to society.
14:40Like me.
14:41I'm not a beggar, and I'm not lost.
14:44I'm here for the banquet.
14:48Miss Dewey, as radiant as ever.
14:52Garrett Thorne, at your service.
14:57Sir Garrett...
14:58What do you mean, I can't go in?
15:00That old man is delusional.
15:03Somebody call a physician.
15:05Did he just say the finest mansion in Arawith was blessed by some crazy peasant?
15:14Garrett, toss the beggar some coins.
15:17He's amusing, at least.
15:18And throw him some leftovers, too.
15:20We have high-level mages who have arrived.
15:23Don't let them see this, Justin.
15:24Get lost now!
15:26Ah, handsome chap.
15:28Looking good.
15:29How dare you disrespect the knight, Paramount!
15:32Oh, no, no, no.
15:33That's my son.
15:36Ask him if I'm here for the banquet.
15:38Enough nonsense.
15:41Go on, son.
15:43Your old man's here for you.
15:44Get him!
15:45Get him!
15:47Someone silence that peasant.
15:49No, Lord Alex.
15:50He is my father.
15:58Garrett, are you sure that crazy old peasant peasant's your father?
16:02The invitation didn't mention a family meal deal.
16:04But seriously, you could have at least dressed him in some decent clothes.
16:08Yes.
16:08Your father's dressed like the village idiot.
16:10No, no, no.
16:11These are the finest quality.
16:12Lasted me years.
16:15What's so funny?
16:20This banquet's supposed to be a solemn occasion.
16:24We're here to discuss the security of our kingdom, not jest.
16:29My lord, having such a common man here is absurd.
16:33Who's that filthy peasant?
16:35Remove him!
16:36Lord Roderick, this is Sir Garrett's father, not just some random peasant off the street.
16:41Is that true, Garrett?
16:45Yes, Count Whitster.
16:47Garrett, you maybe have humble roots, but even you know the minimum etiquette.
16:52This banquet is for nobles and high-level mages.
16:56Even Duke William is to attend.
16:58Must you shame us in front of him?
17:00Apologies, my lord.
17:02Dad, leave now.
17:03I'll make arrangements for you later.
17:05Why should I leave?
17:06I...
17:07I have an invite.
17:10An invitation?
17:13Lord Alex, would you mind finding him a seat?
17:18Come with me, Garrett.
17:32Garrett.
17:33I don't remember sending an invitation to your father.
17:37I don't wish to shame you publicly.
17:39But don't let your father ruin you.
17:43I understand, Count Whitster.
17:45Use your head.
17:47Aurawith is loaded with powerful figures.
17:50You're ignorant.
17:51Father's foolish words could get him killed.
17:54One wrong word to the wrong nobleman.
18:02No.
18:07It's not possible.
18:09Unless he's...
18:17My lord.
18:19Is something wrong?
18:21No, nothing.
18:23Where was I?
18:27You were saying about my father's foolish lies.
18:30Did I say that?
18:32Yes, you did.
18:33You misheard me.
18:35What I meant to say was,
18:37your father has worked very hard to raise you.
18:41Don't let foolish pride neglect your parents.
18:45Got it?
18:47Yes, my lord.
18:48Why don't you go keep your father company?
18:50And then maybe you could introduce me to him later?
18:58Find out where this invitation came from.
19:00And hurry!
19:01Yes, my lord.
19:08So, Garrett is the night paramount's salary that low.
19:11Your old man's wolfing down Aura with snacks.
19:14Like he hasn't eaten in weeks.
19:16His father's nothing.
19:17But a hick.
19:19They've never laid their simple eyes on such fancy food.
19:23We'll be tossing most of it out anyway.
19:25Why not box up some leftovers for them?
19:28Surely they'll love that.
19:30Dad, cut it out.
19:33Why?
19:34Food's meant to be eaten, isn't it?
19:37And I've been traveling since dawn.
19:39Your dad's starving.
19:41Ooh, the muffin's good.
19:42Want a bite?
19:43No, thank you, Dad.
19:46Honored lady has arrived.
20:02That's Ivy Ember.
20:05That's Ivy Ember.
20:05So young and stunning.
20:06Stop goddling.
20:07She's Arthur Ember's adopted daughter, the Oracle's line.
20:11The king himself ennobled her as Countess.
20:20This little mage looks so familiar.
20:27Little mage?
20:30Garrett.
20:31Tell your old man, watch his tongue.
20:35Insulting a noble could land him in the dungeon.
20:39Dad, not now.
20:41That's Grandmaster Arthur's disciple, a level 8 archmaged.
20:45Only one step away from the highest ranking.
20:48Arthur?
20:49Oh, yes, yes, yes.
20:51Now I remember.
20:52She was the sniffling tot who trailed Arthur everywhere, calling him Papa Bear.
20:56Dad, don't use that name.
20:58He's one of the Celestial Trinity.
21:00This isn't your farm, old man.
21:01No one believes your silly tales.
21:03Let me enlighten you.
21:04Level 6 mage is most mages' limit.
21:07Garrett and I are level 7.
21:08We may make level 8 in this life.
21:11But the Trinity is beyond the 9 heriarch.
21:13As a lowborn commoner, you'd better stop talking about things you don't understand, okay?
21:16Just be happy you haven't been removed from this banquet.
21:19Well, look who's spellbound by beauty.
21:21You're in love with her.
21:22You said you were hungry.
21:23Here you go.
21:23Less talking, more eating.
21:26Who wouldn't fall for Lady Ivy?
21:29But come on, she's out of your league, young Garrett.
21:33Yeah, most folks don't stand a chance.
21:37You finally know your place, old man.
21:40Orphaned at a young age, no family name, but she still made level 8 archmosh in her 20.
21:46And that's talent.
21:49I'm not so strict.
21:51If Garrett likes her, I'd allow it.
21:56You think she's not good enough for your son?
21:58Yeah.
21:59Dad, please, just stop.
22:00Your dad's bloody hilarious.
22:02He is a natural jester, a peasant beggar who dares judge a level 8 archmage countess.
22:06Chin up.
22:09You're my son.
22:10You should be breaking hearts across O'Rornwith.
22:14If you're too shy to talk to her, I can help.
22:19Regardless of whether she's a supreme knight or not, this lady is a disciple of the gods.
22:24Even Roderick treats her with utmost respect.
22:26Yet your father acts like she should feel lucky.
22:28Dad, please don't.
22:30I'll say this one last time.
22:31Lady Ivy stands equal to a royal family member.
22:34This isn't village matchmaking.
22:37Just remember, you're my son.
22:40She should be feel lucky to have a fine chap like you.
22:49Hmm, no fever.
22:51There must be some reason you're delirious and losing your mind in public.
22:55He's from the countryside.
22:57Maybe he drank too much pond water.
23:03Lady Ivy, your presence is a gift bestowed by the heavens on this humble banquet.
23:08And you, Lord Roderick, have truly lightened the king's burden by organizing this event.
23:12I am honored to serve you, my lady.
23:14Thank you for the honor of your words.
23:16With you here, we are all, all feel blessed and hopeful for the future.
23:20I'll take my leave now, Lady Ivy.
23:22This is a chance of a lifetime.
23:23What are you waiting for?
23:24Let's go talk to her.
23:27You're right.
23:27Just give me a sec.
23:33There's nothing to be nervous about.
23:35Just follow me.
23:36Wait, what?
23:37We're just going to have a little chat with Ivy.
23:39Stop him or he'll ruin everything.
23:40Dad, please, sit down.
23:42Didn't you say you liked the desserts?
23:43There's plenty more.
23:44You can have them all.
23:46Yeah, if this isn't enough, just tell the kitchen to bring more.
23:48Let them know I sent you.
23:49Oh, I see.
23:50You two are nervous?
23:52No matter.
23:53I'll go talk with little Ivy alone.
23:54You two stay here.
23:55Stand by.
23:56Alone?
23:57Little Ivy?
23:59Your dad's gone mad.
24:00Dad?
24:01Dad, keep your voice down or you'll be in big trouble.
24:03Shh.
24:04Ivy!
24:05Ivy!
24:06Dad, stop yelling.
24:08It's embarrassing.
24:08I mean, has he gone completely muds, calling Lady Ivy like he knows her?
24:12That's Sir Garrett's father.
24:13Garrett is the youngest Knight Paramount ever.
24:15What his father be so rude?
24:16He probably thinks he can do whatever he wants because his son's the Knight Paramount,
24:20typical for bottom feeders.
24:23How embarrassing.
24:24Garrett's stuck with that for a father.
24:25Good luck with his career.
24:27What a farce.
24:28Have you found out where the invitation came from?
24:30Lord Cillian said he didn't issue any extras.
24:33Ooh, a forged invite.
24:35Garrett has a broke, bragging fool for a father.
24:38When you get the chances, throw them out.
24:42Lady Ivy, please forgive Garrett's father.
24:45I'll see him out.
24:46I'm so sorry, my lady.
24:47It's his first time in Oralith.
24:53Mr. It's really you.
24:57By my crest, I swear.
24:59What just happened?
25:00Does that beggar really know Miss Ivy?
25:02You've grown up so much from that little crybaby.
25:06I have someone special to introduce you to.
25:08Oh, who is it?
25:09If it's your friend, I'd be happy to meet them.
25:11This is my son.
25:18Pleasure to meet you.
25:20I'm Ivy Amber.
25:22You can call me Ivy.
25:25I'm Garrett.
25:29Sorry for my, uh, for my father's behavior.
25:33He, uh, he doesn't know the noble etiquette.
25:39Oh, dear.
25:41The Knight Paramount can't get his words out.
25:43Pull yourself together.
25:46All right, everyone.
25:47Move away.
25:49Me and Ivy's need to have a chat.
25:55Garrett.
25:57You told me your dad was a simple farmer.
25:59How the hell does he know Lady Ivy?
26:04Brother Alex?
26:05I swear, I have no idea.
26:07So, what do you think of him?
26:12He, um, he passed level seven mage test and became Knight Paramount in his twenties.
26:19He's hardworking and talented.
26:21I think he's got bright future.
26:25But what do you think of him?
26:27I think he's great.
26:30This just got easy.
26:31What do you mean, got easy?
26:34What do you mean, got easy?
26:36What do you mean?
26:37Okay.
26:38Why don't you just tell me what's happening here?
26:40No, this is between you and him.
26:42I can't tell you what to do.
26:44Right.
26:44How about this?
26:45I'll tell him to come over.
26:47You two can have a little talk.
26:49Garrett, come here.
26:51Ivy wants to talk to you.
26:53Me?
26:55If you're not going, then I will.
27:00Lady Ivy wants to have a chat.
27:03Lady Ivy, I am yours to command.
27:09Don't mess it up.
27:13What did he say?
27:16Nothing.
27:17He didn't offend you, did he?
27:19If he did, I apologize on his behalf.
27:21Are you always like this?
27:23What do you mean?
27:25I just mean, there's no reason to be so nervous.
27:27I don't bite.
27:30It's all out of respect.
27:31Your Grandmaster's student.
27:33One of the most gifted mages of our generation.
27:37I'm just a knight.
27:38I wouldn't dare cross the line.
27:41There's no need to talk about status.
27:43Your status way surpasses mine.
27:46Stop teasing me, Lady Ivy, I beg.
27:49I have no background or powerful family back me up.
27:53Sir Garrett.
27:54Look around.
27:54Who here actually respects me?
27:57But all they care about is heritage and family names.
28:01My father's a simple peasant who can't even use magic.
28:04My armor's a pretty simple costume to them.
28:07But do you really believe that?
28:09Sorry, I'm just letting out my frustrations.
28:12I do respect my father.
28:13I do.
28:14I mean, truly.
28:17Dad.
28:21Dad.
28:23Dad, get up quick.
28:24That's the...
28:25Insolence!
28:25How dare you sit on the holy throne?
28:27That's reserved for Duke Killiam.
28:29Guard!
28:30Drag this blasphemous traitor out of here!
28:32My lords.
28:33Please show him mercy.
28:35My father is not in his right mind.
28:37I will take him away immediately.
28:39Guards!
28:40Take him away!
28:40And punish him severely.
28:42My lords.
28:43Sir Garrett's father just simply wanted to warn the air for the dru.
28:46Warn the air?
28:48What a ridiculous thing to say.
28:50He told me how thrilled he was to meet the duke.
28:52And it's getting awfully chilly out this harvest moon.
28:57Who'd have guessed his warm regards were literal.
29:01Yes, my father kept telling me how much he wanted to do something for Duke Cillian.
29:06He meant no offence.
29:07He's...
29:08He's just ignorant to our customs.
29:10He is a simple peasant.
29:13My lords.
29:14Let's just enjoy ourselves.
29:16After all, this is a wonderful banquet.
29:18Get up.
29:19Get up.
29:20Right now.
29:21Why is he sitting in that chair?
29:23Come with me.
29:25Lady Ivy.
29:27I will look after Mr Thorne.
29:29Please feel free to continue your conversation with Garrett.
29:34Wow.
29:35Mr Thorne, that was scary.
29:37Our noble customs are a burden.
29:40Here.
29:40Drink this.
29:41It'll make you feel better.
29:42What are you?
29:44Can I ask you a question?
29:46What is it?
29:47You and Lady Ivy.
29:48How does someone like her know you?
29:51Oh, well, um...
29:54I am sort of like a...
29:56A mentor.
29:57What sort of mentor?
30:00Nope.
30:01Honestly, I get it.
30:03You do?
30:04Yes.
30:05Especially...
30:06Shh.
30:06Keep it to yourself.
30:08If the others find out, then they'll come begging for my favours.
30:11And since you were quite rude to me earlier, I won't hold it against you.
30:16Especially as you just stood up for me just now.
30:20Youngsters can be ignorant.
30:22I forgive you.
30:22You'll forgive me?
30:24Who do you think you are?
30:25I'm Sir Alex!
30:26Wait a minute.
30:26What do you think you know?
30:27You and Lady Ivy grew up in this same town.
30:30Yes.
30:31She was an orphan?
30:33Yes.
30:33You taught her how to read and write.
30:35That's what you meant by mentor, isn't it?
30:37Well, I...
30:38Actually, see?
30:40Look who's ignorant now.
30:42There he is!
30:44A troublesome peasant.
30:46Escort him out!
30:48You've eaten enough, you greedy pig.
30:50Let's go.
30:51Go where?
30:53Excuse me?
30:54Go where?
30:55Go where?
30:56Out of the hall, of course.
30:58Don't make a scene.
30:59Out of respect for your son, we will let you leave quietly.
31:04If you don't leave...
31:05We will escort you out.
31:07Yes, but I was invited.
31:08You're invited.
31:11You mean this invitation?
31:13Oh, yes it is.
31:16That's some killing.
31:30Oracle Mentor!
31:52The Oracle has returned.
32:06The Mentor.
32:08Prepare my horse.
32:17You actually dared to attack the guard.
32:20It's an elemental spell.
32:22He is a mage.
32:23Sorry, everyone.
32:24I didn't mean to scare you.
32:25You bloody lunatic!
32:28Enough!
32:30No one will lay their hands on my mentor.
32:33Are you okay?
32:35Oh, yes.
32:37Mr. Thorne is...
32:38Have my guards upset you, Lady Ivy?
32:41If this were any other occasion, you'd already be dead.
32:45Apologize, you fools!
32:46I was hoping my lordy was yours.
32:47Shut it!
32:50I asked you to tell Eden Thorne to give him his present for the auction.
32:56How could you make a mistake with such a simple command?
33:00Auction?
33:00Of course.
33:01The Doral army is on the move.
33:03War with the Dark Lord approaches.
33:06Every guest here has been asked to provide one artifact for the royal auction.
33:11I'm sure you brought something worthy since you were invited, right?
33:20Auctioning off treasures to fund the war, right?
33:22You lads really know how to throw a party.
33:24What is this auction business?
33:27Dad, enough.
33:28This isn't some village market.
33:30You barged in here without even telling me.
33:33Do you have anything prepared?
33:34You did very well.
33:36We haven't got any so-called treasures.
33:37All the proceeds go to the royal war fund.
33:39If your offer is deemed insincere, it's considered disloyal to the kingdom.
33:42Oh, I see.
33:44So loyalty is measured in gold now, is it?
33:46Dad, quieter.
33:48Their wealth and titles aren't what I want.
33:50But without the king's favor to get on council, how will I achieve anything?
33:54Duke Sillian's going to be here.
33:56I can't let him thinking I'm too low-boyne to help.
33:59Garrett, come take your seats.
34:01The auction is about to begin.
34:03Don't worry.
34:04Even if all you've got is a sack of potatoes fresh from the dirt,
34:08we promise not to judge cow shit on them.
34:12My lords, please excuse my father.
34:14He's not feeling well.
34:16What are you talking about?
34:17I feel fantastic.
34:18More fit than you, son.
34:20Oh, sure.
34:20Farming keeps him fit, if you ignore his rotted brain.
34:24That peasant's son will never be one of us.
34:26Garrett, if your father insists on participating,
34:29why not ask him to stay?
34:31The auction's about to begin.
34:33My lords and ladies, if you'd follow through, thank you.
34:40Leave the snacks.
34:49Duke, it's the highest honor of my life to greet you in person.
34:54The auction has already begun,
34:55and the nobles will be pleased to see you.
34:58Allow me to take you in.
35:01My lord?
35:05I can't let the famed oracle see me in such an unpresentable state.
35:10My lord?
35:12Find me a room.
35:13I need bath.
35:18We came here to protect the kingdom,
35:21while others, I suppose,
35:23have come here for the free wine and leftovers.
35:26Look at the state of his boots.
35:30Ten generations of his family
35:32couldn't scrape together one single treasure.
35:36What could he possibly offer?
35:39Don't touch that.
35:40Sorry.
35:44Hey.
35:48Over here.
35:58Since we have a special guest today,
36:01I'll repeat the rules.
36:04Excuse me?
36:07Now is not the time for snacks.
36:10Sir!
36:12So ridiculous.
36:14I'm sorry.
36:15Couldn't help myself.
36:17Sir!
36:19Sir!
36:20Listen closely.
36:22All auction items are donated by the guests.
36:26The donor and their relatives may not fit on their own items.
36:31Now, as long as there's no objection,
36:34let the auction begin.
36:38Count Roderick Whithard
36:45Offers a Dawnfire Chalice
36:47blessed by the God of Dawn.
36:52Starting bid,
36:53300,000 gold coins.
36:56That's a legendary relic.
36:58That's worth over a million gold on the black market.
37:01Count Roderick's devotion to Verne
37:02could move the gods to tears.
37:05Just a stupid cup
37:06my old pal Dawn used to drink water from.
37:08Don't see what all the fuss is about.
37:11What'd you say, Dad?
37:12I didn't quite catch that.
37:14Uh, uh, uh, uh, it's a lovely cup.
37:18Vichort Alex Sunblade
37:20offers a dragon egg.
37:24Birthed over 1,000 years ago
37:26by Schmeagel the Moth.
37:28Starting bid,
37:29200,000 gold coins.
37:31Lady Annie Dewey
37:35presents a silver thread cloak.
37:38It's immune to blades and arrows.
37:39Starting bid,
37:41400,000 gold coins.
37:44Sir Garrett Thorne.
37:46A knight paramount,
37:48he offers a portrait
37:49of the legendary Oracle.
37:53That's correct.
37:55How peculiar.
37:56Count Roderick also holds
37:58a portrait of the Oracle
37:59painted by Maestro Mello.
38:04a family heirloom.
38:05What?
38:09Garrett,
38:09this is the charity auction
38:11for the Royal Treasury.
38:12Have you bought a fake?
38:13I would never disrespect
38:14this auction house
38:15with a fake!
38:16Sir, Garrett,
38:17are you accusing
38:18Count Roderick
38:19of being in possession
38:20of a fake?
38:22Absolutely not.
38:22I'm simply saying
38:24the portrait I bought
38:25is a family heirloom.
38:27It's real.
38:29Of course.
38:30Even a fake
38:30could be your peasant
38:31family's treasure.
38:34Are you quite certain
38:35that it's a family heirloom?
38:37Absolutely.
38:39Right?
38:40Dad?
38:41Mello begged me
38:42to sit for that portrait
38:43twenty years ago.
38:44I said yes,
38:45of course.
38:45But I'm
38:47not the biggest fan
38:48of how it turned out
38:49bit too into his
38:50abstract expressionism.
38:52What?
38:52Insolent Rhett!
38:54How dare you say that,
38:55Master Mello
38:56painted garbage?
38:58That portrait
38:59is of the Oracle mentor,
39:02our kingdom's guardian.
39:04We've had twenty years
39:05of peace
39:06because of him.
39:07And you claim
39:09to be the model?
39:10Nonsense!
39:11Well, maybe I am.
39:13Please,
39:13no more words.
39:14There'll be real consequences.
39:15Just telling the truth.
39:18My lords,
39:19please forgive
39:19my father's ignorance.
39:21It is clear to me now
39:22our portrait
39:23is a fake.
39:25You fool us
39:26by bringing a fake.
39:28Commoner with no
39:28family lineage.
39:29How could he possibly
39:30own anything of value?
39:32Poor Garrett.
39:33A knight to have
39:34a father like that.
39:36Unfortunate.
39:37Enough!
39:38Sir Garrett's loyalty
39:39is unquestionable.
39:42We've all seen it.
39:43Thank you, my lord.
39:45Should we resume
39:46the auction?
39:47My lord,
39:48all attendees
39:49must donate a gift.
39:50It's a mandatory rule.
39:51Well, he's a lowborn knight.
39:53Make this exception
39:54just this once.
39:57But my lord,
39:58that wouldn't be fair
39:59to other.
40:01No need for exceptions.
40:03Me and my father
40:03will leave.
40:04Let's go, dad.
40:05Leave?
40:06We just got here.
40:07Dad, please.
40:08I'm begging you.
40:09What's the rush?
40:09If this old rubbish
40:11counts as his treasure,
40:12then your old dad's
40:13got a whole host
40:13of treasure back home.
40:17Dad, snap out of it.
40:18You're a twenty-year farmer.
40:21Barely enough to get by
40:22and half gone
40:23to poor mage apprentice.
40:24There's no way
40:25you have anything
40:26worthy of this auction.
40:29My lord,
40:30please forget my father.
40:32He's clueless
40:33about noble etiquette.
40:35He and I will leave.
40:37Wait.
40:38Garrett,
40:39you serve in Aura
40:40with your father's secrets.
40:42Maybe deeper
40:43than you know.
40:44He has treasure.
40:46Well, show this.
40:47War funds demand
40:49every coin.
40:51Gold or copper.
40:53I'm just curious.
40:55What treasure
40:56could your father
40:57possibly offer?
40:58Now,
40:59bring me paints and canvas.
41:01Canvas?
41:01What are you doing?
41:02I'm going to paint
41:03a new portrait
41:03of the Oracle.
41:05If this one's fake,
41:06I'm just going to
41:07wrestle up a new one.
41:08Dad, no!
41:09They won't mess with you.
41:11I'll find another way
41:12out for us.
41:12Bring him what he needs.
41:15Your dad can paint.
41:19Garrett!
41:21If it's ugly,
41:22don't make me bid on it.
41:25My lord,
41:27why waste your time
41:28with these peasants?
41:30Let the clown
41:30have his way.
41:32It's my chance
41:32to get back at Garrett
41:33no one bids on
41:35the painting
41:36and I will
41:37graciously buy it.
41:38Then the knight
41:39Paramount will owe me
41:40a favor.
41:41An excellent strategy,
41:43my lord.
41:45That's it?
41:46You're done?
41:47Yes.
41:48I mean,
41:48it's not bad.
41:50Can't rush art.
41:51You see?
41:54No.
41:57Oh, my goodness.
42:00That's impossible.
42:05That's impossible.
42:08Goodness.
42:09Jeez.
42:11You actually painted that.
42:13I mean,
42:13didn't have much time
42:14so I didn't use
42:15all my talent,
42:15but it'll do.
42:18You're not serious,
42:19are you?
42:19With this painting,
42:20it's...
42:21what about it?
42:22You're calling...
42:24this a portrait
42:25of the Oracle?
42:26That's just...
42:28a stick figure!
42:31A huge insult.
42:33You're being quite
42:34disrespectful,
42:34my friend.
42:35You dare call this
42:36the famed Oracle mentor?
42:37This is...
42:38outrageous.
42:39Behold,
42:40his so-called masterpiece.
42:42A blind toddler
42:43could draw better.
42:44No hint of resemblance
42:45at all.
42:45I...
42:46I think it's pretty accurate.
42:47Another piece of trash.
42:49Stop!
42:49That way?
42:50Are you sure
42:51you want to destroy this?
42:54I...
42:56Put it down.
42:57That's no way to act.
42:59As bad as it is,
43:01it does show
43:02Mr. Thorne's devotion.
43:04You can't ruin it.
43:06A thousand apologies,
43:07my lord.
43:08I was just outraged.
43:10You have given
43:11Sir Garrett every chance,
43:13and this is what they bring?
43:15He's trying to humiliate you
43:17and everyone else present.
43:21Is that right?
43:23Absolutely not.
43:24Never.
43:25Well,
43:26incompetence or insult
43:27we'll find out soon enough.
43:28Why not start bidding
43:29on this masterpiece?
43:33Okay, everyone.
43:34Back to your seats.
43:39Well, well, well.
43:41What should the starting bid be?
43:44Half a copper moin.
43:47Half?
43:48This is fine art.
43:49I'm being generous.
43:50It's more than it's worth.
43:54I'm being generous.
43:55It's more than it's worth.
43:57You think it's worthless?
43:59This is an original thorn.
44:02Dad, cut it out.
44:03Do not mess with these nobles.
44:05They'll punish you without mercy.
44:06Son.
44:08Ladies and gentlemen,
44:09let the auction begin again.
44:14Our first item
44:16is a portrait
44:17of the oracle
44:18by Eden Thorne.
44:24As you can see,
44:25even the wisest of critics
44:27would fail to find
44:28a shred of artistry in it.
44:29Our starting bid is
44:31half a copper coin.
44:33You'd be insane to bid on that.
44:34Maybe if you're out of toilet paper.
44:37The canvas seems absorbent.
44:40One copper boin.
44:42Guessing someone
44:43really is desperate.
44:44Sorry, I seem to be
44:45out of firewood.
44:47One copper coin.
44:49Going once.
44:49One copper coin.
44:51Going twice.
44:52Two coppers.
44:55Two and a half.
44:59Little Ivy,
45:01do you want to bid on it?
45:02You could put it
45:04above your fireplace.
45:05Dad, cut it out.
45:06Go leave Lady Ivy
45:07out of this.
45:08Please forgive him, my lady.
45:10Of course I do.
45:12But I'm not yet worthy
45:13of such a masterpiece.
45:15I beg your pardon?
45:18Ten gold coins?
45:21Only a count
45:23could bid gold
45:24on toilet paper.
45:26I'm out.
45:27Ten gold coins
45:28by Count Roderick.
45:30Any higher?
45:31Thank you, my lord.
45:32Garrett,
45:33your father's actions
45:34aren't your burden.
45:35Let this purchase
45:36settle it.
45:37Come with me
45:38and I'll take you
45:38under my wing
45:39so you don't fall
45:40into his step.
45:41Such generosity
45:42from the Count.
45:43Truly above the approach.
45:45Ten gold coins
45:46for that disaster?
45:47Roderick must really
45:48want Garrett on his side.
45:50My lord,
45:51I won't forget this kindness.
45:53I am yours to command.
45:54Oh, son.
45:55Ten gold coins
45:56is all it takes
45:57to buy you, is it?
45:58It's not about the money.
45:59You have caused
46:00nothing but trouble.
46:01Son, I don't think
46:02that we should...
46:03first the banquet,
46:04now the auction.
46:04I have thought so hard
46:06to carve out a spot
46:06in the capital for myself.
46:08For you.
46:08And you act like
46:09my career or predicament
46:11don't matter at all.
46:12I can't take it anymore.
46:14Count Roderick
46:15is the only one
46:15who shows us
46:16any respect.
46:18That is worth
46:18way more than
46:19ten gold coins.
46:20What if someone just
46:22bids it a little bit higher?
46:24No one wants that painting.
46:25Those bids are just
46:26to humiliate us.
46:27We're nothing but a joke
46:28to them.
46:29So, your father
46:30finds my offer
46:31and is satisfying.
46:32Well, I'll reject my bid.
46:34No, Count Roderick, wait.
46:35I'll take it.
46:42I'll take it.
46:44Duke Sillion!
46:46I bid one million
46:47gold coins.
46:49What?
46:50No, no.
46:51Ten million.
46:52Ten million?
46:54What?
47:04Please don't bow
47:05for me, my lord.
47:06I can't accept
47:07the honor.
47:10Duke Sillion
47:11just bowed
47:11at Lord Roderick?
47:13That's impossible.
47:14The duke
47:15outranks him.
47:15Looks like we all
47:16underestimated
47:17Lord Roderick.
47:18Anyone who's able
47:19to host the Harvest Banquet
47:21clearly has a lot more
47:22than just inherited titles.
47:24That's what a real man
47:25should be like.
47:26I taught you nothing, son.
47:27That isn't what
47:27a real man is.
47:29Dad, what are you
47:30talking about?
47:31They'll take your words
47:32as treason.
47:33My lord, please
47:34forgive my father's
47:35disrespect.
47:36He is old
47:36and confused
47:37and...
47:40Broken another rule,
47:41have I?
47:41Our kingdom values
47:43free speech.
47:45Your unrepentant,
47:46repulsive actions
47:47have consequences.
47:49Will you leave
47:50voluntarily,
47:51or shall I call
47:52the guard?
47:54No, no, no.
47:55No need.
47:56I'll show myself out.
48:00Don't worry.
48:02Will wait me.
48:04Yes, sir.
48:05Duke Sillion, wait!
48:07What are you doing?
48:09Did you think
48:10I was bowing to you?
48:20Dude, you didn't tell me
48:21your dad was friends
48:22with the friggin' Duke!
48:25I...
48:27Lord Roderick?
48:27No need to call me
48:28Lord Roderick.
48:29It's so distant.
48:31Just call me Roderick.
48:33Yes, Lord.
48:34I mean, sir.
48:35I mean, Roderick.
48:35Roderick.
48:38Sir Garrett.
48:40I, uh...
48:41I didn't get to tell you
48:42how much I admire
48:43your father.
48:44A man serving quietly
48:45in the countryside,
48:46it's the backbone
48:47this kingdom needs.
48:49Farmers are
48:50Verne's foundation,
48:51after all.
48:52You flatter me,
48:53Lady Annie.
48:54I was clearly
48:55too ignorant
48:56to appreciate
48:57the painting's
48:57subtle brilliance.
48:59Look at these
48:59curved lines,
49:00and this rich
49:01black ink,
49:02and this empty space.
49:04So bold, sir Garrett.
49:05I've heard tales
49:06of your talent
49:07I am barrened,
49:08but Brian missed.
49:11Dearest Garrett,
49:12you must come visit.
49:13The riverbanks
49:14are simply enchanting.
49:15Don't listen to that.
49:16Sir Garrett,
49:16come drink the finest
49:17wine in Auro
49:18with me tomorrow night.
49:19Hey, back off.
49:21Garrett and I
49:22were best buds
49:22back in the magic academy.
49:24And anyway,
49:25me and Garrett
49:25have plans tomorrow night,
49:27don't we, Garrett?
49:28Let's not overwhelm,
49:30Sir Garrett.
49:30We have an auction
49:31to finish.
49:38Garrett,
49:40are you mad at me?
49:41What?
49:42No, not at all.
49:43Why didn't you
49:44tell me the truth?
49:45About the relationship
49:46between your father
49:46and the Duke Sillion?
49:49I...
49:58Mentor,
49:59it's such an honor
50:00to have you here.
50:01Your return will
50:02rekindle hope
50:03across all of...
50:04Don't call me Mentor.
50:06I have never taught you,
50:07nor have I passed down
50:09any prophecies.
50:11Mentor,
50:11but Mentor,
50:12you...
50:14you sheltered the kingdom.
50:15You defended the weak.
50:17Many mages,
50:18me included,
50:19were so inspired
50:20by your unwavering justice.
50:22How could I not
50:23call you Mentor?
50:27That's my master.
50:28Oh, yes, yes, yes.
50:29It's Isabella.
50:32She's not coming
50:32to see me, is she?
50:34Not with that
50:34grand entrance.
50:35The whole of
50:36Aura with will know.
50:38Bit dramatic,
50:38isn't it?
50:39I'm sure she's just
50:40trying to impress you,
50:41Mentor.
50:42You are quite a big deal.
50:44And with the Dark Lord's
50:46threat...
50:46Yes, yes, yes.
50:47Well, let us see
50:49how much little
50:50Isabella is actually
50:51needed.
50:53Stellar drift.
50:55Blood moon
50:56in a dark sky.
50:57An omen
50:58of disaster.
51:00Cillian Vinfield.
51:01At your command.
51:02Return to the
51:03Harvest Hall.
51:04Immediately.
51:04You mean...
51:05The Dark Lord
51:06curses to breach
51:07the light barrier.
51:08Protect the young.
51:09Don't let the
51:10shadows infect them.
51:11Yes, sir.
51:20Lady Annie.
51:21Is everything
51:22alright?
51:25Yes, I'm fine.
51:26Any persons
51:27who command
51:28the vines
51:28and the trees,
51:30that's the
51:30High Priestess.
51:32Lady Vinewood.
51:34She was the
51:34Oracle's
51:35first apprentice.
51:36After he
51:37disappeared,
51:37she became
51:38the most powerful
51:38mage on the
51:39continent.
51:40To control
51:40trees in the
51:41heart of
51:41Aura with.
51:42That can only
51:43be the
51:43High Priestess's
51:44might.
51:45High Priestess?
51:48What did
51:49you say?
51:50Oh,
51:51just like that.
51:52Someday I
51:53hope to be as
51:54strong as
51:54Priestess Isabella.
51:56You are already
51:57a level 7.
51:58High Priestess
51:58had achieved
51:59level 9 by the
52:00time she is
52:0120.
52:01That's real
52:02talent.
52:03Genius among
52:04geniuses.
52:04We are
52:05all, but
52:06compared to
52:07her, just
52:08amateurs.
52:09Sadly, you're
52:10right, Lord
52:10Roderick.
52:11But still, don't
52:12be discouraged.
52:13You still have an
52:13invite to the
52:14banquets.
52:15You're still part
52:16of the elite.
52:17We're not even in
52:17the same league as
52:18the Celestial
52:18Trinity, let alone
52:20the Oracle
52:20Mentor.
52:21They've walked
52:22paths we can't
52:23fathom.
52:23High Priestess
52:24Isabella, Sage
52:25Elaine, Guardian
52:26Arthur, all three
52:27have hit demigod
52:28level.
52:28The Oracle is
52:29even more powerful
52:30than my master.
52:31I dare not
52:32imagine his
52:32limits.
52:33I would be
52:34happy to see
52:35the High Priestess
52:36in my lifetime.
52:37However, to
52:38meet the Oracle,
52:39I would die
52:39with no regrets.
52:45Lord Sillian,
52:46you've returned.
52:47And Mr.
52:48Edenthorne?
52:49Mentor had a
52:50couple of things
52:50to do first,
52:51so he asked
52:52me to return.
52:53Please go on.
52:55Mentor?
52:58Are you trying
52:59to tell me that
53:00Sir Garrett's
53:00father is the
53:01Oracle Mentor?
53:03Wait, wait, wait,
53:04what?
53:04My dad?
53:06Oracle?
53:07Yes, your
53:08father is my
53:08mentor.
53:09What?
53:10Garrett, your
53:10dad is the
53:11Oracle?
53:13Why are you so
53:13confounded in your
53:14thoughts, dear boy?
53:15Yes, he was the
53:16first one to guide
53:17me in magic, hence
53:18he is my mentor.
53:20So he was the
53:20first person that
53:21mentored you?
53:22We have an
53:22auction to resume.
53:23Hold it.
53:24The portrait of
53:25the mentor.
53:26Are there any
53:26more bids?
53:27No, no more.
53:28Give it to me.
53:28I'd like to take
53:29a closer look.
53:30Would you like
53:31to admire it?
53:34Is there a
53:34problem?
53:35No, sir.
53:36Let the
53:36auction begin
53:37again.
53:39Mentor's last
53:39words must have
53:40reason.
53:41Could the
53:42dark Leodort have
53:43already infiltrated
53:43this place?
53:47Lord Roderick,
53:48that was terrifying.
53:49For a second, I
53:50actually thought
53:50Garrett's father was
53:51the legendary
53:52Oracle Mentor.
53:56Come on, the
53:57Duke only thought
53:57it was the
53:58Oracle because
53:58he mentored him
53:59early on.
54:00Lady Ivy, all
54:01the respect you
54:02showed my father,
54:03was it because he
54:04was Lord Sillian's
54:04mentor?
54:06You could say
54:07that.
54:10Something's off
54:11with her.
54:16The blood
54:16missed curse!
54:24The blood
54:25missed curse!
54:38Miss Annie, are you
54:40here?
54:47Dewey, stand
54:48down!
54:49Eyes red, aura
54:51of the shadow.
54:51She's possessed
54:52by the Dark
54:52Lord.
54:59How dare you
55:00hurt my sister!
55:04I'll make you pay
55:05for that.
55:07Stop!
55:15It's the blood
55:16missed curse.
55:17Blood missed
55:18curse?
55:18The blood
55:19missed is a sign
55:20of the Dark
55:20Lord's curse.
55:21It spreads
55:22among living
55:22beings, turning
55:23the cursed into
55:24living bombs.
55:25Anyone below
55:25level 9 is
55:26practically dead.
55:29Everyone, summon
55:30your elemental
55:31powers, now!
55:32Cure the curse
55:34or die!
56:01Oh dear God, no!
56:07Life rots.
56:08the Dark
56:10Lord will
56:10transcend all.
56:16Dear Duke
56:17Cillian, will
56:21you be my
56:22first offering?
56:27Oh, what a load
56:29of crap!
56:30And what is
56:31that smell?
56:32Oh God, I'm
56:32going to throw
56:32up.
56:34Excuse me.
56:35Oh, hello.
56:40Oh, what a load
56:42of crap!
56:43And what is
56:43that smell?
56:44Oh God, I'm
56:45going to throw
56:45up.
56:46Excuse me.
56:48Mental.
56:50Dad, get out
56:51of here!
56:52It smells like a
56:53rotting corpse
56:54out here.
56:55Why isn't he
56:56affected by the
56:56blood missed
56:57curse?
56:57The blood
56:58missed curse
56:59only affects
57:00mages.
57:01He looks like
57:02he is a
57:03commoner after
57:04all.
57:04Don't come
57:05any closer,
57:06Dad!
57:06Why not?
57:07What are you
57:08planning on
57:08doing that
57:08requires me
57:09to leave?
57:11Oh, hello.
57:14What's this
57:14kid doing?
57:15Is it a bit
57:17of roleplay?
57:17Dad, she's
57:18possessed by
57:19the Dark
57:19Lord.
57:20Anyone who
57:20touches the
57:21blood mist
57:21will explode.
57:22Leave!
57:24Bit of an
57:25overreaction,
57:25huh?
57:26Worsens for
57:26stronger mages.
57:28Look, Duke
57:28Sibley and
57:29can't even
57:29speak.
57:30You're our
57:30only hope.
57:31Go get
57:32help.
57:32By the time
57:33someone else
57:33gets here,
57:34you're all
57:34going to be
57:34charred.
57:36So, I'll
57:37handle this.
57:37Dad!
57:38Don't get
57:38any closer!
57:39Garrett, your
57:40dad's lost
57:40his mind!
57:41It's gone,
57:42it's all
57:42gone!
57:46You must
57:47have a
57:47death wish.
