Short filmTranscript
00:10It must be the Oracle Mentor. He showed up just in time. He saved Verne again.
00:18Look, there's a message.
00:20I'm retired. Can't you guys work harder? Can't even be to pay a limitation.
00:24We'll double our training, but the rift you sealed has now reopened.
00:28If its true form shows itself, we're counting on you, Mentor.
00:35When darkness descends, I shall stand between it and all mankind.
00:43Well, you heard the man.
00:53Godlike power. Ancient magic pulses through these lands.
00:58A hellhound? A phoenix?
01:01A master sage must lie just beyond us.
01:04My lord, the king is waiting.
01:08No. We must meet with this mysterious sage.
01:12He could be the savior of our kingdom.
01:41A giant rat.
01:42My lord, are you sure we should be here?
01:45It's a guinea pig, not a rat.
01:50Unbelievable.
01:52These legendary creatures and divine herbs that heal wounds and cure illnesses.
01:59What are you looking at?
02:04Lord Cillian, are you alright?
02:06What did you do, peasant?
02:08Silence!
02:10I am Cillian Vinewood, Duke of Verne.
02:14It is an honor to meet you, master.
02:16Vinewood?
02:17Vinewood?
02:18Yes, yes, yes, yes. Isabella's apprentice.
02:20How dare you speak the high priestess' name?
02:22Stay quiet.
02:25Yes, I was trained by the high priestess.
02:28Yes, hence I bear her name.
02:30Apologies for the intrusion.
02:32No bother.
02:34So, you share the same lineage.
02:36I taught her a thing or two.
02:38Isabella used to follow me around.
02:45My master only had one mentor.
02:49That means you are-
02:51Just-
02:52Here.
02:54Try one of these.
02:55They're delicious.
03:03Ah.
03:05This is the divine fruit.
03:07Only one blooms in millennium.
03:09Don't fawn so much.
03:11So, Isabella sent you, did she?
03:12It wasn't her.
03:15The king is summoning all high-level mages
03:18to the harvest banquet.
03:20I was just passing by.
03:24Here is the invitation.
03:26May I humbly request your present?
03:32The whole kingdom needs your help
03:33before the Dark Lord returns.
03:35Please, I beg you.
03:40Dad, are you okay?
03:43Dad?
03:44Duke, it's an honor to serve you.
03:47Dad, that's the duke.
03:49The king's minister and the high priestess's proche.
03:51Act proper.
03:52Get up and ditch the straw.
03:54Get up and ditch the straw.
03:58Apologies, my lord.
03:59My father's not familiar with noble etiquette.
04:02Please, sit.
04:03The elf king's legendary sword is disguised as a straw.
04:06Gara doesn't even know his father's true identity.
04:08Duke, sit, please.
04:09No need.
04:10I'll stand.
04:11The chair is crude, I know.
04:12We're sorry for the inconvenience.
04:14Oh, just take a seat.
04:15Oh, uh, yes, of course.
04:21Dad, these are overwrought.
04:23Please, don't.
04:24I'm highly partial to fruit like this.
04:28Wasting food is a sin.
04:29We must set a good example.
04:31Of course, my lord.
04:32I spoke in haste.
04:33Should we not offer duke the finest blackleaf tea?
04:36Hmm.
04:36Okay, okay, if you say so, son.
04:39Please don't go to any trouble on my account.
04:42I'm not a fan of tea.
04:43Apologies.
04:45What about malt whiskey, Dad?
04:47Could you...
04:47All right, all right.
04:49Fine.
04:50No liquor for you, then.
04:51What are you saying?
04:52The important person was just being considerate.
04:54Good to say.
04:56Just do what you need to do.
04:57Dad, please.
04:59How could you speak to the important person so casually?
05:01If we upset him, we'll be done for.
05:03Please, excuse me.
05:04My lord, please forgive my father.
05:07He didn't mean to.
05:10This is the fruit you gave me earlier.
05:12May I take it?
05:13Keep it.
05:14Take extra if you like them.
05:19I'll take my leave now, mister.
05:22Dad, what was that?
05:25Why'd the duke?
05:26Beats me.
05:27Guy just popped out of nowhere.
05:29And you?
05:30What are you doing here?
05:32Shouldn't you be in royal capital?
05:35Sir?
05:36Haha, very funny.
05:37I'm here because of you.
05:39Demons could strike again at any moment.
05:40Come to Arawith with me, so that I can protect you.
05:43I just made level seven mage.
05:44Seven?
05:45Cute.
05:46Guess I'll still have to protect you.
05:47Why don't you stay here with me?
05:48I'll drive off any demons that show their ugly faces.
05:51Dad, what are you talking about?
05:53You are just a farmer.
05:54You are no match for demons.
05:57I have duties in the royal capital.
05:59Come with me.
05:59I can keep you safe there.
06:01I told you, son.
06:02I'm staying here.
06:07Then I have no choice.
06:10Seize my dad.
06:11Yes, sir.
06:11Take him to royal capital.
06:21Message from Arawith.
06:23What's the matter, sir?
06:24Urgent news.
06:25The banquet has moved up.
06:27I must return at once.
06:29It'll be faster if I ride ahead.
06:31Your priority is getting my dad safely to Arawith.
06:35It's not safe here, dad.
06:37I can't let anything happen to you.
06:39I'll see you in Arawith.
06:41Son.
06:42Please forgive us, mister.
06:55The banquet is in three days.
06:57I'm going to have to go.
06:58My three disciples couldn't even chase off a shadow.
07:01Must I do it all myself?
07:08Why are you smiling?
07:10Mr. Thorn!
07:13Sorry.
07:14Excuse me.
07:15What is that over there?
07:21Hello.
07:22Yes.
07:24And why is there a line to enter the city?
07:27Watch your tone.
07:28You will address my master as Lord Barry.
07:31Barry.
07:33Peasant.
07:34Arawith is the only safe place under demon attacks.
07:37Yes.
07:37Of course there's a line.
07:40But you...
07:43Go back to whatever backwards little village you came from.
07:45What a fuss over a shadow, isn't it?
07:47I'm just here to see my son.
07:50I'm sure there's a slum for a lowlife like him,
07:52but I doubt there's a bed there for you.
07:54He's a king-appointed knight.
07:57I've never heard such a funny joke.
07:59You're hilarious, old man.
08:00A royal knight would never have a peasant father like you.
08:05Oh, no, no.
08:06He's the, um...
08:08Knight Paramount.
08:09Stop!
08:11Lying!
08:12I'm surprised you've even pronounced the title.
08:14That's a top-ranked knight.
08:15He's bluffing, my lord.
08:17His son is probably just some...
08:19lowly servant to a noble.
08:22Attending to his master's most menial chores,
08:24even as we speak.
08:27You may pass.
08:29Enjoy being turned away, bum.
08:35Bye-bye, Barry.
08:38Deposit and papers.
08:40Excuse me?
08:41Deposit and papers.
08:44Ah, yes.
08:46Uh, I've got neither.
08:47Sorry.
08:48You fool!
08:49What in the hell are you doing here without these?
08:51You're wasting my time.
08:53Since when did a Vern Itizen need papers and a deposit to get into Aura with?
08:57Rules change.
08:58If you got no docks, no coins, get lost.
09:01Now move on before I lock you up.
09:03What's the holdup?
09:04Sir, this peasant doesn't have documents.
09:07Ah, no, I have this.
09:10What the hell is this?
09:12Silly letter?
09:14Unfortunately, I have to say this is...
09:17The bearer of this letter may command all nobles within Aura with.
09:21Mobilize troops and access royal treasury funds.
09:23All majors and civilians must cooperate.
09:26Valid for 60 years, King Leon IV.
09:32The king is Leon V. Arrest him.
09:33King Leon IV was his father.
09:35I recognize that handwriting.
09:37I have seen it before.
09:38Back then, only one man would have that kind of power.
09:49Ah, I finally found it.
09:52Finally.
09:53I haven't been to the city for years.
09:55Really lost my way.
09:57Hey, you.
09:58This reception is for nobles only.
10:00Lord Roderick is hosting Thra Harvest banquet tonight.
10:03Asked per the king's orders.
10:05Now get lost.
10:07It's Miss Dewey's carriage.
10:10It's a fancy ride.
10:12I like it.
10:21Where'd this peasant come from?
10:23Harvest banquet invites such people now?
10:25Absolutely not, Miss Dewey.
10:27He's just stupid and lost.
10:30We're removing him right away.
10:32You better.
10:33This occasion is not for beggars.
10:35It's for people who contribute to society.
10:39Like me.
10:41I'm not a beggar.
10:42And I'm not lost.
10:43I'm here for the banquet.
10:48Miss Dewey.
10:49As radiant as ever.
10:52Garrett Thorne, at your service.
10:57Sir Garrett.
10:58What do you mean I can't go in?
11:00That?
11:01That old man is delusional.
11:03Somebody call a physician.
11:05Did he just say the finest mansion in Arawith was blessed by some crazy peasant?
11:14Garrett.
11:15Toss the beggar some coins.
11:16He's amusing at least.
11:18And throw him some leftovers too.
11:20We have high-level mages who have arrived.
11:23Don't let them see this, Justin.
11:24Get lost now!
11:25Ah, handsome chap.
11:27Looking good.
11:28How dare you disrespect the knight, Paramount!
11:31Oh, no, no, no.
11:32That's my son.
11:35Ask him if I'm here for the banquet.
11:38Enough nonsense!
11:40Uh, go on, son.
11:42Your old man's here for you.
11:44Get him!
11:44Get him!
11:46Someone silence that peasant.
11:48No, Lord Alex.
11:49He is my father.
11:55Garrett, are you sure that crazy old peasant, peasant's your father?
11:59The invitation didn't mention a family meal deal.
12:01But seriously, you could have at least dressed him in some decent clothes.
12:05Yes.
12:05Your father's dressed like the village idiot.
12:07No, no, no.
12:08These are the finest quality.
12:09Lasted me years.
12:11Ha, ha, ha, ha.
12:12What's so funny?
12:17This banquet's supposed to be a solemn occasion.
12:21We're here to discuss the security of our kingdom, not jest.
12:26My lord, having such a common man here is absurd.
12:30Who's that filthy peasant?
12:32Remove him!
12:33Lord Roderick, this is Sir Garrett's father, not just some random peasant off the street.
12:38Is that true, Garrett?
12:42Yes, Count Whitster.
12:44Garrett, you maybe have humble roots, but even you know the minimum etiquette.
12:49This banquet is for nobles and high-level mages.
12:53Even Duke William is to attend.
12:55Must you shame us in front of him?
12:57Apologies, my lord.
12:59Dad, leave now.
13:00I'll make arrangements for you later.
13:02Why should I leave?
13:03I...
13:04I have an invite.
13:07An invitation?
13:10Lord Alex, would you mind finding him a seat?
13:15Come with me, Garrett.
13:29Garrett.
13:30I don't remember sending an invitation to your father.
13:33I don't wish to shame you publicly, but don't let your father ruin you.
13:40I understand, Count Whitster.
13:42Use your head.
13:44Arawith is loaded with powerful figures.
13:47You're ignorant.
13:48Father's foolish words could get him killed.
13:52One wrong word to the wrong noble, Andy.
14:04It's not possible.
14:06Unless he's...
14:12My lord, is something wrong?
14:15No, nothing.
