00:00:03Oh
00:00:04No, they're on us warriors do not let the orcs cross our borders turn back and fight
00:00:18Gods help me. I was a fool. I should have listened to Hera. I should never have led the campaign
00:00:24never set foot in the orc Empire
00:00:34Oh
00:00:35Bugs
00:00:51Get the king out of here. I'll hold them off
00:01:10Gods are punishing me Hera. I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning blinded by pride
00:01:17I sought a name that would outlive me and nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin your majesty. Just save
00:01:23your strength
00:01:24You need to stay alive
00:01:27My time's over
00:01:29Moses is too young too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone your majesty
00:01:34Then hear my final command guide him protect him. Don't let Cade fall
00:01:40Moses
00:01:41Hera is no ordinary woman the gods chose her as long as she stands with Kay this kingdom will never
00:01:46fall listen to her
00:01:47You're bound together by your engagement rule this land side by side
00:01:52Father I swear it I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her and listen to her
00:01:59I'll become the king this kingdom needs
00:02:02The God's power isn't endless, but for Moses
00:02:06For Cade, I'll give everything I have
00:02:09good
00:02:11good
00:02:13Father
00:02:15Father
00:02:17Long live the king
00:02:21Rise
00:02:23Moses ascended the throne smoothly while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent under her rule
00:02:29The kingdom of Cade grew stronger with each passing day
00:02:31But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds and slowly drained the gods power within her
00:02:40Your majesty urgent news from the border the orc Empire has invaded. We're under attack
00:02:46Those beasts dare invade Cade?
00:02:49Who will drive them back for me?
00:02:52I'll lead the army drown the border in their blood and bring peace back to Cade
00:03:00Hera
00:03:01I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you
00:03:05When you return victorious, I'll honor our engagement. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony this kingdom has ever seen
00:03:12My king, I won't fail you
00:03:19Poor humans you dare stand in the way of the old empire today every last one of you die
00:03:32The scepter of light you're carrying the relic
00:03:37Look who olha!
00:03:40So your godly power has limits after all
00:03:44One! Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's last god sworn!
00:03:48Crush the woman-guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:54Fall back!
00:04:05In the God's name, Godfall Ashgrave!
00:04:12You witch rust woman, we'll return!
00:04:15And when we do, how will you alone stand against my million-strong tide of beasts?
00:04:32Commander! Dear God! You're gravely wounded!
00:04:36I'll get a healer right now, just hang on!
00:04:40I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:47Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:50Of course! Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cady's history!
00:05:05Your Majesty.
00:05:08Hera.
00:05:14Hera!
00:05:15Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty.
00:05:23What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war.
00:05:28And you still dare question me?
00:05:31One border war dragged on for three whole years!
00:05:34You had the power of the gods, yet countless Cade-aid soldiers still died.
00:05:38Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war.
00:05:41Food and weapons.
00:05:42You nearly bled this kingdom dry, and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:45Your Majesty. That was a million-beast horde.
00:05:48Even a godsworn has limits.
00:05:50He's right! Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already!
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the godsworn. Someone with her power should have ended the war long ago.
00:05:59The only reason it dragged on is because she wanted it to.
00:06:02She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:06What exactly were you plotting?
00:06:08Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people.
00:06:11I nearly gave my life for this victory.
00:06:14Enough! Shut your mouth!
00:06:15As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent.
00:06:18Irene will take your place.
00:06:19She understands strategy and politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:23Irene has never led an army. She knows nothing about war or governance.
00:06:27Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's grain with your own hands.
00:06:30How dare you?
00:06:31You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Neil!
00:06:37Your Majesty, please reconsider her.
00:06:40Hera slid blood for this kingdom!
00:06:42You can't treat her like this!
00:06:44Treasonous fool!
00:06:45You dare oppose the king's command?
00:06:47Guards! Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances.
00:06:54Now there are only two left.
00:06:57When they're gone, so am I.
00:07:02As you command.
00:07:04Hera.
00:07:06I made this for you myself.
00:07:08It carries my heart with it.
00:07:09In this life, I'll only ever love you.
00:07:12As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:15I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever.
00:07:19Without you, this crown means nothing to me.
00:07:21You're my only light.
00:07:23My only love.
00:07:24Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes, my king.
00:07:29Yes.
00:07:29I'd give everything for you too.
00:07:32This world only worships winners.
00:07:35Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:39You gambled everything on the battlefield, but the real war is fought on the throne.
00:07:44And you already lost.
00:07:46I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom.
00:07:49My wounds reopen every night.
00:07:52I cough blood in silence.
00:07:54Yet he never noticed.
00:07:56Never cared.
00:07:58That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:08Commander, we fought through hell to save this kingdom.
00:08:11And this is how they repay you.
00:08:13Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:18Power is just dust.
00:08:20It never mattered to me.
00:08:22Commander, the kings betrayed everyone.
00:08:25You gave everything to Cade.
00:08:27And this is what you got in return?
00:08:28To hell with that king!
00:08:29Commander, let's rebel!
00:08:31Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours!
00:08:36Enough!
00:08:38Commander, we don't care about power or glory.
00:08:42We just want to protect Cade.
00:08:43To protect the people under under god's blessing.
00:08:46Commander, the king's blind!
00:08:48And the court's full of vipers!
00:08:50A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the gods!
00:08:53That's enough.
00:08:54Get up.
00:08:55The late king raised me from nothing and entrusted this kingdom to me.
00:09:00Before he died, he placed Cade and Moses in my hands.
00:09:04I swore on the gods that I would never betray this kingdom.
00:09:07Never rebel.
00:09:08Commander!
00:09:09But the king-
00:09:10Enough!
00:09:11Never speak of this again!
00:09:14Commander, the Queen Mother summons you.
00:09:17Immediately.
00:09:26Your Grace.
00:09:27Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you.
00:09:30You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up here all because Moses is young and stupid.
00:09:35I've already reprimanded him, and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:38Please don't worry about me, your majesty.
00:09:40The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne.
00:09:44Everything I did was my duty.
00:09:46I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:51It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:09:57I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:09:59The late king swore this oath before the gods.
00:10:02It cannot be changed.
00:10:04If that is the will of the Queen Mother and the late king, then I will obey.
00:10:08Hera, you are the pillar of Cade.
00:10:10This kingdom owes you.
00:10:11Only with you beside Moses can Cade remain under the gods' protection.
00:10:17Commander, if this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother.
00:10:21You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:22I've known the king almost my whole life.
00:10:25And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:40Commander!
00:10:42If you're angry, take it out on me.
00:10:45Even if I do die, I probably blame you.
00:10:52Hera!
00:10:53You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:54I swear by the gods.
00:10:56I never touched her.
00:10:58I would never hurt her.
00:10:59I saw it with my own eyes.
00:11:01And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:04Please calm down, your majesty.
00:11:06Don't blame the commander.
00:11:08It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:09Hera!
00:11:10I deserve punishment.
00:11:11If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it!
00:11:16Hera!
00:11:17I order you to apologize to Irene right now!
00:11:20I did nothing wrong.
00:11:21Why should I apologize?
00:11:23Dare you disobey me!
00:11:24Guards!
00:11:25Drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:44Hera!
00:11:45That was incredible!
00:11:46Teach me!
00:11:47Come here.
00:11:48I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind.
00:11:51Keep your arms steady.
00:11:53Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:11:55That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:00Hera.
00:12:01You're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:03When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:07I'll stay by your side forever.
00:12:09And make you the happiest woman in Cade.
00:12:17Brother, stop!
00:12:18She's the pillar of this kingdom.
00:12:20You can't treat her like this.
00:12:22Cain!
00:12:24You dare defy me too?
00:12:25You want punishment as well?
00:12:28Hera spent her whole life fighting for Cade.
00:12:30She drove back the orcs and protected this kingdom.
00:12:32She's blessed by the gods.
00:12:34How can you treat her this way?
00:12:35And I saw everything clearly.
00:12:36It was Reen.
00:12:37She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:42Guards!
00:12:43Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers.
00:12:45He is confined till further notice.
00:12:52Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods.
00:12:57Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:01Your command over the armies is revoked.
00:13:03And the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be taken back immediately.
00:13:14As you command.
00:13:17One hundred chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Guards, take your reign to be treated.
00:13:33Moses!
00:13:35That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:39It represents honor and faith.
00:13:42Taking it back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:45Don't worry, Mother.
00:13:47I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:49Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone.
00:13:53You stripped her power and took her crest.
00:13:55How will you face her afterward?
00:13:57Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera.
00:14:01Not me!
00:14:02If I don't crush her influence before the wedding, this kingdom will belong to her instead of me.
00:14:09Then make them know you.
00:14:13It's fine, Mother.
00:14:15She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:16Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit.
00:14:20Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:23Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:27Don't worry.
00:14:27She's obeyed me for years.
00:14:29The gods bound us together.
00:14:30And besides, I don't want a legendary commander feared across the world.
00:14:34I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:36You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:38Besides, after her last campaign, her body's already broken.
00:14:41Taking away her command is for her own good.
00:14:43She needs rest.
00:14:44You're grown now.
00:14:45Just remember to control your decisions anymore.
00:14:49Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:51That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:01Your Majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:05Let her in.
00:15:13The gods have blessed you, Your Majesty.
00:15:16Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king.
00:15:20I'm glad to see it.
00:15:23Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom.
00:15:26Your wounds are severe.
00:15:27Now that you've stepped down as commander,
00:15:29just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:32Before I leave the palace,
00:15:34this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, Your Majesty!
00:15:42The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:15:44They want peace talks!
00:15:46Guards!
00:15:47Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:49Approved.
00:15:50You may leave now.
00:15:51Hera, I know you've suffered lately.
00:15:53We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:15:59Your Majesty.
00:16:02There's no after this anymore.
00:16:05There's no after this anymore.
00:16:18There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera! Are you hurt?
00:16:24I'm fine. It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's not nothing. To me, you matter more than the throne, more than this kingdom, more than anything in
00:16:34this world.
00:16:39From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:16:51Hera, come home safe. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:16:59Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:05Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods, I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:22This world is vast enough that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:32May the gods bless them! The king is finally marrying Commander Hera!
00:17:38What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:40I heard she lost her title, her army, even her sacred Christ. Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:46You don't understand. The king just wants her to put down her sword and live peacefully beside him. It's out
00:17:51of love.
00:17:51I see. Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:03Your majesty, we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:07What nerve!
00:18:09The king himself arrives! Dare you not come greet him? This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:14Don't blame her. She's been hurt lately. I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:21What's wrong? Where's Hera?
00:18:24Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:37Stop!
00:18:45Your majesty...
00:18:46Tell me where Hera is. Answer honestly.
00:18:50Your majesty...
00:18:52Lady Hera left the capital the day she surrendered the sacred crest. I have no idea where she went either!
00:19:02What?!
00:19:02No!
00:19:03That's impossible!
00:19:04You're lying!
00:19:05Hera swore to my father she'd take me protect Cade! She swore before the gods! She would never leave me!
00:19:09Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you!
00:19:12Insolence! How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty!
00:19:16Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine!
00:19:22Your majesty, I swear by the gods, Lady Hera truly left the capital! Before she left, she ordered me to
00:19:29throw away all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:31Hera, these night bracelets were offered by the Lord of the Eastern Territories. I saved them especially for you. Wear
00:19:37them, like I'm always by your side, protecting you.
00:19:40I love them. I'll treasure them forever.
00:19:43Old belongings. Could she mean all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?!
00:19:51Over there! Half of them have already burned!
00:20:00Those were my gifts to her.
00:20:11Hera, look. This is our vow parchment. It says, I'll love Hera forever, and we'll never be apart.
00:20:17Yes. We'll be together forever, never apart.
00:20:25When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting.
00:20:31Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:36Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:40Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:44Mercy, your majesty! I swear by the gods! I didn't know those belonged to the royal family! Please spare me!
00:20:51You can't do this! He didn't know!
00:20:53Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:20:55What? You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant. If she hears about this, what will
00:21:02she think of you?
00:21:03Right! She just left! She can't have gone far yet! I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:08Hera no longer holds any office! You have no right to force her back!
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancé! I have every right to bring her
00:21:20back!
00:21:21Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom!
00:21:25That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods! A crime worthy of death!
00:21:31Exactly! Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:36Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word? Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:44Cain! Are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare!
00:21:48Enough! Get out! I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:55And you! Do you think this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not! This is all Hera's doing! She's manipulated everyone around her!
00:22:04She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers! That's why he keeps defending her!
00:22:10I knew it! Cain must have feelings for Hera! But now, how do I fix this mess?
00:22:17I thought marrying her would stabilize the kingdom! But she escaped! Turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom!
00:22:25I have a solution, Your Majesty!
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:29The only way to calm the royal court and the people is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this
00:22:37crisis passes!
00:22:38Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's. You'll do!
00:22:44Your Majesty! I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for such a role!
00:22:48That was not a request! It's an order! Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:54Aye, as you command!
00:23:01Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved. From now on, they'll all belong to me!
00:23:08Hera, I am the King of Cade! The ruler of this world! No one's allowed to defy me!
00:23:23Hera, is that you? You finally came back to me! My Hera!
00:23:28Hera, I knew you were hurt before. But why wouldn't you just listen to me? I wanted to tell you
00:23:37everything! On our wedding night!
00:23:42Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you. But I'm a King, I wasn't
00:23:48just myself. Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:52But don't worry. I'll make it up to you from now on.
00:23:57Irene even taught me. How to please a woman, I'll make you happy. I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:06Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:13Your Majesty! We located Hera! She's currently in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:18Great! I'm leaving immediately. I'll bring Hera back myself!
00:24:22Hera, you bitch. I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:29Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:38Your mind's somewhere else tonight.
00:24:40After everything you did for Cade. After all your victories. This is how the King repaid you. How can the
00:24:46world be this unfair?
00:24:47I spent my whole life fighting wars for the Kingdom. Now that I finally have peace, you should be happy
00:24:53for me.
00:24:54Maybe so. But it's still so unfair. It's heartbreaking.

00:32:55you good hara
00:32:56so you really think cade will fall apart without you that i can't rule this kingdom without you
00:33:00you seriously overestimate yourself
00:33:02i never thought that
00:33:03that's exactly what you think
00:33:05lucky for cade there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds
00:33:10with irene leading the kingdom
00:33:11cade will thrive just fine
00:33:13better than ever actually
00:33:15i won't disappoint your majesty's trust
00:33:20moses still young
00:33:22i'm only trusting with him
00:33:25and the kingdom's future
00:33:27i'll give it everything i have
00:33:28the late king entrusted everything to me before he died
00:33:31no matter what i have to do last thing for cade
00:33:35your majesty is wise
00:33:37before i leave there are three things i beg you to remember
00:33:41interesting so even you have something to beg me for now
00:33:44first
00:33:45cade has suffered through years of war
00:33:47the people are exhausted lower the taxes and don't burden them any further
00:33:52i already know that second the northern cities were only recently subdued
00:33:57moral and his men are fierce and proud while i was here i could keep them loyal please treat them
00:34:02with mercy and respect if you push them too hard they will rebel which will bring disaster to the kingdom
00:34:15lord moriak unstoppable one man against ten thousand
00:34:22don't worry irene is the truly gifted one in cade she's far more capable than you ever were
00:34:27third
00:34:29never trust the orc empire
00:34:31grommash and his court are brutal by nature never lower your guard around them
00:34:36finished that's all nothing new to rule the kingdom
00:34:40don't underestimate these three rules
00:34:43if you can truly follow them
00:34:45cade will be in peace for a hundred years
00:34:48hara stop pretending to be so loyal you disgust me
00:34:51every word i said came from my heart listen carefully this kingdom won't stop without you
00:34:56no cade will even become stronger than before that's good
00:34:59may cade kingdom prosper and may my king be safe and well
00:35:03then we shall see
00:35:06guards escort cane away and treat his injuries immediately
00:35:10yes your majesty
00:35:35why are you here
00:35:36why are you here
00:35:36the moment you left
00:35:38all three of us were stripped of military command
00:35:41we refused to continue serving that damned king
00:35:45we suffered endless humiliation in the royal court
00:35:47we would rather follow you even if it means doing the roughest labor
00:35:51lady hera please don't leave
00:35:54cade cannot survive without you
00:35:56you gave everything for cade
00:35:58we can't let you leave like this
00:36:00everything is settled i have nothing left to stay for
00:36:03i only wish to lay down my burdens and live a few peaceful years
00:36:06during your years in power you did so much for us
00:36:11now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero
00:36:14we refuse to accept it
00:36:17the royal court has wronged its greatest protector
00:36:20that's right
00:36:22all gatherings must come to an end someday
00:36:25everyone please go home
00:36:27don't make things harder for hera
00:36:33may your road ahead be safe my lady
00:36:37may the rest of your life be peaceful and stable
00:36:51you saw it with your own eyes
00:36:53the people of this land recognize only here in their hearts
00:36:56not the royal family
00:36:57i will accomplish great deeds for the world to see
00:37:00i'll make hair understand
00:37:02who truly deserves to rule cade
00:37:04your majesty
00:37:05i have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly
00:37:08and elevate your prestige far above harrah's
00:37:11speak
00:37:12what plan
00:37:13though harrah is gone
00:37:14her influence within the court still remains
00:37:17your majesty should dismiss every official connected to her
00:37:20and replace them all with people loyal only to you
00:37:23and you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and
00:37:26privileges only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly
00:37:30devote themselves to you
00:37:32only then will cade truly belong to you
00:37:35but the royal treasury has long been emptied
00:37:38we simply don't have the money for increased rewards
00:37:42then raise the taxes
00:37:45but before harrah left she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes
00:37:48keep the people to live peacefully
00:37:51you are mistaken to secure royal authority you must first secure the loyalty of those who
00:37:55hold power around you only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you
00:38:00harrah wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes
00:38:04she was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne
00:38:08you mustn't fall for her tricks
00:38:11what a scheming woman even after leaving she's still plotting against me
00:38:16as you said deliver my order at once raise the taxes
00:38:24your majesty as minister of agriculture i present three treasures
00:38:29superior wheat seeds fertile soil fertilizer and gilded farming sepples
00:38:33may cade enjoy endless harvests overflowing granaries and freedom from famine forever
00:38:39excellent truly excellent cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you
00:38:44i oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the black steel command seal the lion heart battle
00:38:50armor and the hundred war bone may cade cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit
00:38:56before us well done that's irene's brother you've forged cade army into such a powerful force
00:39:03with you there our borders will remain secure forever i present the star crystal stepter the deep
00:39:09sea pearl crown and the holy light blessing scroll may your majesty's glory shake the world win the
00:39:17sincere loyalty of all people and secure your supreme royal authority forever
00:39:22long live king moses may cade resign forever ever since irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom
00:39:31cade has grown stronger every time the people live peacefully and the court stands united this is true
00:39:39prosperity
00:39:48the entire kingdom celebrates today and every minister offers congratulations why are you sitting there in
00:39:56silence without the slightest smile
00:40:02congratulations your majesty are you still unwilling to accept it thinking that without harrah
00:40:08cade could never maintain its essence glory i didn't think so let's stop talking this
00:40:14even if harrah possessed some ability how could she possibly compare to irene's wisdom and strategy
00:40:20your majesty enough you still side with her in your heart i would truly like to see harrah's expression when
00:40:28she realizes cade remains prosperous even without her prosperous the taxes are crushing the people
00:40:33until they can barely breathe citizens are displaced suffering miserably everywhere and you call this
00:40:46how dare you
00:40:46the taxes are due how dare you delay payment if you still refuse spare money to pay i'll whip you
00:40:52to death
00:40:52sir this year's harvest completely failed the taxes are far too heavy we truly can't afford to pay
00:40:58you have no choice this is the king's command anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot
00:41:07how dare you speak such nonsense here
00:41:10cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of his majesty raising taxes slightly is what made
00:41:16this grand banquet and this stability possible what is wrong with that before harrah left she repeatedly
00:41:22warned that taxes must never be raised the people needed time to recover you promised her that shut
00:41:30up harrah has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom if you refuse to listen to
00:41:36honest counsel
00:41:36and remain this stubborn then i have nothing left to say insolence since you despise everything here so
00:41:43much then get out go to the far north and never back again your majesty please don't the far north
00:41:51borders
00:41:51the orc territories if prince kane goes there he will certainly die how is that possible aren't
00:41:58blackstone city and frostwave city still standing between them those two cities have already already
00:42:05what speak they have already been ceded by lady irene to the orc empire of the gromish royal court your
00:42:12majesty those two cities were nothing but barren wastelands i made the decision to precede them in
00:42:16exchange for peace along the borders they're only two worthless cities then that's it not a
00:42:29great deal this little beauty looks good take her with us let me go let me go
00:42:40you beast let go of my daughter
00:42:49with the king being this foolish cade will fall apologize to me now and i'll let you stay in the
00:42:56royal city spare you from suffering in the far north there's no need i'll leave at once you would rather
00:43:03die than remain by my side yes there is no hope left here my heart has long since died i'm
00:43:11leaving now
00:43:15report a devastating locust playing has erupted in gale wind city the crops have all been devoured
00:43:20and countless civilians are starving to death
00:43:36your majesty silvermean city's been hit by the worst flood in a hundred years
00:43:40the dam collapsed the farmlands are gone
00:43:57colin
00:44:01and now we've got locusts and floods and you hid it from me
00:44:08How dare you?
00:44:10Your Majesty! I swear I'm innocent!
00:44:13I just got word myself there was no time to report it sooner!
00:44:17Lies! You still dare make excuses! Guards, execute him now!
00:44:26This could be rumours spread by rebels.
00:44:28I'll send people to verify it immediately and get you the truth.
00:44:32Your Majesty, the reports are true.
00:44:35My spies across the kingdom just confirmed everything.
00:44:37Fine. If the disasters are real, then it's simple.
00:44:39Open the treasury. Send food and gold. The people will settle down soon enough.
00:44:46Your Majesty, the treasury, it's empty.
00:44:50We plan to raise taxes again after the birthday banquet just to keep the palace running.
00:44:54But now? No! That's impossible!
00:44:57We just collected taxes not long ago. How could the treasury be empty?
00:45:01The money's already gone, Your Majesty.
00:45:02The ceremonies, the banquets, palace renovations, rewards for your favourites. Nothing left.
00:45:09First, Cade has suffered through years of war. The people are exhausted. Lower the taxes and don't burden them any
00:45:17further.
00:45:18I already know that.
00:45:20Was I really wrong?
00:45:22No. I'm the king. Kings don't make mistakes.
00:45:27Irene! Think of something. We have to keep this under control no matter what.
00:45:32There's only one way left. Raise taxes again. Let the people suffer a little longer. And we survive this crisis.
00:45:56Hera. If Hera were here, none of this would have happened.
00:46:03It's been six months. Why won't you come back? Why can't you forgive me?
00:46:11You need to learn this properly. This is what keeps a kingdom standing.
00:46:15But you're already amazing at running the kingdom. We promised we'd be together forever.
00:46:20And I listen to everything you say anyway. Isn't that enough?
00:46:27It's all my fault. I should have listened to you. Didn't we promise we'd never leave each other?
00:46:32Then why aren't you here? Why? Cade's falling apart now. Disasters everywhere. People are suffering.
00:46:39Hera, are you really going to stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:42Hera. I miss you. Please come back. Please save Cade. Save me.
00:46:56The king keeps squeezing the people dry. Now we've got locusts and floods back to back.
00:47:02The people can't survive like this.
00:47:04The king doubted you, humiliated you, and tried to kill you back then. You can't seriously go back and save
00:47:10him.
00:47:11Exactly. That royal family destroyed you. Why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you?
00:47:17But... the people are suffering.
00:47:24Hera!
00:47:27Why... why are you here?
00:47:33Your hands... what happened to them?
00:47:37It's usual to have these calluses, but you're a prince. Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:44My brother... banished me.
00:47:50So even the last person willing to tell him the truth got driven away too?
00:47:55I'm so happy to see you here again. I'm also the late king's son, and I've admired you for long.
00:48:00Can I...
00:48:02The northern beast threat still isn't over. The kingdom's in chaos. I'm not thinking about love right now.
00:48:09I see. But I'd ask you a very great favor. Right now, Irene controls everything. Taxes are crushing the people,
00:48:16and she already handed over two northern fortresses to the Gromish crown. The kingdom's falling apart. Hera, please... come back
00:48:23and save Cade's people.
00:48:24If that's the case, then for the sake of the people, I'll go back one more time.
00:48:30That's great. Things are already at the breaking point. We need a plan immediately.
00:48:35The situation isn't hopeless yet. If we can provide food and money to calm the people, the crisis can still
00:48:42be contained. The only thing I'm worried about is...
00:48:45What's that? Morlock of the North. He's fierce and hot-tempered. He can't be threatened, or if he's pushed too
00:48:51far, he'll rebel for sure. And once that happens, Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom. There
00:48:56will be no saving it then.
00:48:58Moses can't be that foolish. He already made one mistake raising taxes. Surely he won't make another.
00:49:03I hope not.
00:49:05Your Majesty! General Morlock of the North is outside requesting an immediate audience!
00:49:09Morlock! Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect. He's fierce and hot-tempered. If pushed
00:49:16him too hard, he'll rebel.
00:49:18Pass down my order. Prepare the best wine and food. Welcome General Morack with the highest honors!
00:49:26Your Majesty, please don't! The treasury's already empty! Every coin matters right now!
00:49:32Morlock's nothing more than a surrendered general. He doesn't deserve the honors. Some ordinary food is more than enough.
00:49:39And he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people. But we can't lower taxes anymore.
00:49:46Leave this to me, Your Majesty. I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:51But Hera warned me to treat him with respect. What you do could cause real trouble.
00:49:57You worry too much, Your Majesty. Men like him only understand strength. Leave everything to me. Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:12Your Majesty. I'm Morack.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty? Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were. This Morlock may look intimidating, but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere
00:50:23else to go.
00:50:24Fine. Get up and speak.
00:50:28Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:30You've traveled a long way here. Must be exhausted.
00:50:32The journey means nothing. But today, in front of both you and the Grand Marshal, I need an answer.
00:50:39Huh? Go on.
00:50:41When Grand Marshal Hera united the Northern Tribes, she made a promise before every soldier and citizen that the North
00:50:47would be exempt from taxes for five years.
00:50:49And if disaster or war ever struck, the Royal Treasury would provide relief for the people immediately.
00:50:56But what happened?
00:50:59Not only have you sent us nothing, you broke the agreement yourselves.
00:51:03You buried the people under Endless and drove them straight into hell!
00:51:08Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:10We swore loyalty to Cade because we believed in Hera's honor. But you've broken every promise she made. What explanation
00:51:18do you have for the Northern soldiers and citizens?
00:51:22How dare you? Are you openly questioning the Royal Court now? Or are you trying to challenge the King's authority?
00:51:30I've never questioned the Royal. I only ask for justice for my people.
00:51:36Royal policy is decided by the Court, not by border warriors like you. Your only job is to control your
00:51:43territory, keep the border stable, and obey orders. And you can't even manage that. Yet you still dare bark at
00:51:50the King?
00:51:51A surrendered brute like you? Dares act arrogant in the Royal Hall? Who the hell do you think you are?
00:51:57Know your place, loser. The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate, so stay there and wag your
00:52:04tail. Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:06You're nothing but a poor thing the Royal took in out of pity. We fed you, and you should have
00:52:12stayed grateful and obedient.
00:52:14Dare you disrespect your Majesty and me? You deserve nothing! And that precious Hera you worship so much?
00:52:21She's nothing but a discarded failure the King threw away. A stray dog driven out of the palace. And my
00:52:28defeated loser.
00:52:30And my defeated loser.
00:52:32You bitch! How dare you insult Hera! You filthy little snake! For saying that alone, you deserve to die!
00:52:47Morlach! Are you insane? What the hell are you doing? I... I'm the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom!
00:52:54You're the Grand Marshal.
00:52:56That's right. Lay one finger on me and you'll be guilty of treason!
00:53:01The Grand Marshal is a useless, poisonous rat like you. Then Cade truly is finished!
00:53:05Morlach! How dare you! Let Eren go right now! Now!
00:53:09Hera once praised you, a wise king carrying the people. But now that I've seen you with my own eyes,
00:53:13you're nothing but a blind fool surrounded by corrupt snakes.
00:53:16You insolent bastard! How dare you insult the King! Go to hell!
00:53:25Nobody move! Whoever takes one more step, I slip her throat right here! No mercy!
00:53:30Back off! All of you, back off! Don't come near me, please!
00:53:34Why things become this bad? When Hera was here, everything's going well.
00:53:39Everyone! Move back immediately! Get to the sides!
00:53:43Your Majesty, you cannot let him leave alive. Morlach is too dangerous. If he escapes the palace today,
00:53:50he must raise an army and rebel. I beg you to execute him now and end this threat once and
00:53:56for all.
00:53:57Listen carefully. If anyone attacks me now, I'll drag Eren straight to hell with me.
00:54:01Your Majesty, save me! Don't listen to him! Lord Morlach, I'll give you money, land, power,
00:54:06anything you want! Just don't kill me!
00:54:08Huh! A coward like you actually sits in power? You're rotten to the bone!
00:54:12Your Majesty! Sacrificing Irene in exchange for killing Morlach would secure the kingdom for
00:54:17generations! For the sake of all Cade's people, you must not let him go!
00:54:22We beg your Majesty to abandon Irene! Kill the traitor Morlach and protect the kingdom!
00:54:34My Hera, you've been working on military matters all morning, must be starving by now.
00:54:38Come on, try the food I made for you.
00:54:41You made all this yourself?
00:54:42Sure. This camp barely has supplies. If I had proper ingredients, I could make you a real feast.
00:54:48This is already more than enough. Thank you, my dear Cain.
00:54:52My Lady! Urgent military report! Urgent situation!
00:55:00What happened?
00:55:02Our scouts confirmed that Moravac openly turned against King Moses and Irene in the Royal Council
00:55:08Hall. The confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred. God! Morlach's temper is terrified.
00:55:13The openly challenging the Royal Family could have completely caused a chaos.
00:55:17Morlach entered the capital with a handful of trusted men. If Moses had executed him on the
00:55:22spot to stop him returning the North, this rebellion could still have been prevented.
00:55:25But the King chose to save Irene instead. He ordered the guards to stand down and allowed
00:55:29Morak to leave for the North safely.
00:55:33No, that's bad. A lot of innocent people are going to die now.
00:55:41You ungrateful traitor! The King spared your life out of mercy because of your past service.
00:55:46And this is how you repay him. The second you return North, you gather an army and openly rebel
00:55:51against the Crown. That's treason! So you're Irene's loser brother. Makes sense. As arrogant and useless
00:55:57as she is, believe me, I could flatten this city in a second and cut off your head as my
00:56:01wine cup.
00:56:02Then open your damn eyes and look around. Our walls are unbreakable. Our food supplies are full
00:56:06and our soldiers are elite fighters. Even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here,
00:56:10you still won't touch these walls. Back when Hera guarded this kingdom,
00:56:14I might honor the court without crossing the line.
00:56:20Grand Marshal Hera!
00:56:21No need for formalities. I know you're loyal and honorable. Everything that happened before
00:56:26wasn't truly your choice. I will honor every single promise I made. To lower taxes, care for the
00:56:33soldiers and bring peace to the North. I swear it. But look at the kingdom now. A righteous leader like
00:56:39Hera was framed, humiliated and driven out by corrupt cowards like you. I didn't raise this army for power.
00:56:45I'm fighting for Hera's honor. For justice for the suffering people of the North. North soldiers!
00:56:52Charge! Break Stonehold City! Fight for Hera's name! For peace of North!
00:57:00All soldiers, rain arrows! Drop the boulders! Crush these traitors into pieces!
00:57:06All soldiers, rain arrows!
00:57:21Karen! Get the catapult ready! Launch me onto the wall! Release it! Full power!
00:57:37Stop him! Stop the monster! Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:53Look carefully! Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner. Nobody here can save him.
00:58:00I know exactly who most of you are. You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield. Now she's been
00:58:08framed and driven out by corrupt cowards. You feel nothing? No anger? No shame?
00:58:15I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom. But to restore Hera's honor. To make people of the
00:58:22North
00:58:22live in peace again. Throw down your weapons and surrender. I swear on my life as a warrior,
00:58:29no harm will come to you. You tell the truth. You fight with honor and righteousness. We're born to
00:58:35protect our homeland, not to die for Irene. I surrender willingly! We surrender! From now on,
00:58:41we're willing to follow you and restore justice for Hera! Your Majesty, thank you for giving me a
00:58:48second chance. I swear on my life, I'll devote everything to you forever. Never betray you.
00:58:57You swore to me that Morak was nothing more than a broken, defeated general. You said he had no courage
00:59:04left. Your Majesty, please calm down and think carefully about this. It's weird. Morlock kept
00:59:10mentioning Hera over and over again. If you ask me, Hera must be the real mastermind behind all of this.
00:59:16No. Is it truly Hera's secretly plotting against me? Think about it, your Majesty. She once controlled
00:59:22the entire kingdom's military power, stood above everyone. After being stripped of everything and
00:59:26exiled, how could she possibly accept that? That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the
00:59:31palace. It seems like I was the target, but in reality, she's humiliating the royal and attacking
00:59:37your authority and shaking your throne step by step. Damn her. She can't defeat me openly,
00:59:43so now she hides and plays dirty, letting her followers create chaos, humiliating me, provoking
00:59:49the entire kingdom of Kaeda. Everyone knows Hera's good at winning people over. She tricks soldiers
00:59:54and silizans with fake kindness and pretty words. We absolutely cannot fall for her lies. Must crush her
00:59:59scheme before it's too late. But it's already too late. I let Morlock go to save you, giving him
01:00:05chance to rally all his forces and march south. How are we supposed to stop this war? Don't panic,
01:00:10your Majesty. I've already prepared for this. My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City,
01:00:15the only path from the north to the capital. Its defenses are impenetrable and the supplies are
01:00:19abundant. As long as Stonehold stands, Morrick will never reach the capital city. And my brother's a
01:00:24battle-hardened general. Morlock may be strong, but he's just a brute. There's no way he can
01:00:31break through the defenses. You can rest easy, your Majesty.
01:00:36Your Majesty! Terrible news from the front lines! Morack's army has completely captured Stonehold
01:00:42City. General Fulton had his neck crushed by Morack. No, that's impossible. My brothers fought in
01:00:55countless battles. Stonehold City was supposed to be imprezzable. How could it fall so fast? How could
01:01:01he die? Enough, Irene. All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans.
01:01:07Now Morlock's army has broken through the north and is marching straight for the capital. Tell me,
01:01:13at this point, is there even a way to turn this around?
01:01:19Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I have one final plan that can save the kingdom from
01:01:26destruction. Then spit it out, now. The soldiers in capital are too weak to stop Morlock's hundred
01:01:32thousand elite riders. The only option is to send envoys to the Orcan Empire. Offer them whatever
01:01:39they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion. Absolutely not! I will never agree
01:01:46to something this insane! Your Majesty, remember my final warning. Never forget it.
01:01:53The Orcs are savage by nature, bloodthirsty and ambitious. They've always coveted the rich lands of
01:02:00Cade. They can never be trusted. I have never forgotten Hera's warning. The Orcs are greedy wolves.
01:02:06Allying with them would be suicidal. It could destroy Cade.
01:02:12Your Majesty, this is no time to hesitate. Mordech's army is launching straight for us. He wants your
01:02:17throne. The Orcs only want gold, food, and a small piece of border territory. If paying that price
01:02:22protects your crown and saves all our lives, it's more than worth it.
01:02:27Fine. We've almost reached the dead end. There's no other choice now. I'll take the risk.
01:02:32Rest easy, Your Majesty. I'll send trusted envoys to the Orc Empire tonight to secure the Alliance and
01:02:37get their army as fast as possible.
01:02:54Marshal Hera, the undefeated goddess of war.
01:02:56Your Majesty, you're finally here. I've waited day and night for this moment.
01:02:59You have no idea how those snakes in the royal court slandered you, humiliated you, and trampled all
01:03:05over your loyalty in front of the entire palace.
01:03:07I'm clear with everything. You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months.
01:03:11King's blind and Irene controls the court. I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:15But we're warriors to protect the people. No matter what happens, we cannot start a war lightly.
01:03:21Now I need you to order the army to withdraw north. Show the kingdom our sincerity.
01:03:25I'll personally return to the capital and negotiate with the king one last time.
01:03:29If he still insists on dragging the kingdom deeper into ruin, we'll march and take back justice for everyone.
01:03:36Marshal Hera, I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either. I'll follow every order you give without question.
01:03:45My ministers, Morlach has completely taken Stonehold City. His rebel army could arrive at the capital any
01:03:52moment now. So does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom? Amazing. You talk endlessly
01:03:59like genius every day. But now that the kingdom's collapsing, suddenly everyone's silent? Where is
01:04:04my royal guard? Why is there not even one soldier here to protect me? Your majesty, the royal family
01:04:11has already lost the people's support completely. Disasters spread across the kingdom, but the court
01:04:16failed to help the citizens. Then taxes kept rising again and again. The people's anger has reached its
01:04:20limit. At this point, the royal guard exists in name alone. The orcs are probably still days away.
01:04:28There's no army and no general left in the capital. If Morlach attacks now, my throne, my life,
01:04:34my everything are gone. Urgent military report, your majesty. Speak! What happened? Morlach's
01:04:42hundred thousand man army has completely withdrawn. What? They retreated. Why would they suddenly pull
01:04:49back without reasons? I couldn't uncover the reason, your majesty, but I personally saw the entire army
01:04:55break camp and retreat over a hundred miles north. Your majesty. Isn't the answer obvious?
01:05:05My strategy worked perfectly. Just the threat of my preparations alone terrified Morlach so badly that
01:05:12he fled without even fighting. Then would you explain what strategy scared away a hundred thousand elite
01:05:22soldiers overnight? I secretly sent trusted envoys to the orc emperor long ago. The alliance has already
01:05:29been secured. Their elite reinforcements are on the way to the capital as we speak. Morlach must have
01:05:35learned about it and realizes he could never defeat our combined forces. So that's why! Irene's brilliant
01:05:41strategy intimidated the rebels and forced back a hundred thousand enemy troops without sacrificing a
01:05:47single soldier from the capital. Irene, you are the kingdom's greatest pillar, my most trusted minister.
01:05:54Your majesty, please reconsider. You cannot make this mistake. It's killing ourselves. They are long
01:05:59coveting our lands. Even the late king personally led the campaign against them and died on the battlefield.
01:06:04That blood feed hasn't been settled. How can you bow your head to our greatest enemy and invite them into
01:06:08our kingdom? You're condemning Cade to destruction with your own hands. Your majesty, think carefully.
01:06:14The orcs are cruel by nature. Once they cross our borders, every town in their path will be burnt
01:06:20and looted. Countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered. The people of Cade will be dragged
01:06:24straight into hell. Is the man on the wall, General Garrick? Open the gate immediately. Your king Moses
01:06:33ordered my army to enter the city, crush the rebels, and capture Morlach.
01:06:40This concerns the safety of the capital and the lives of every citizen inside. I need to verify the
01:06:48royal decree myself before opening the gates. How dare you! You're just a gate commander and you dare disobey your
01:06:57king's orders? Delaying military business alone is enough reason for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:06General! General! Urgent news from the front lines. Morlach's entire army has already withdrawn.
01:07:12The capital's no longer under threat. Commander Gromj, I've received confirmed military reports. The rebels
01:07:20already retreated north. Your mission here is over. Take your army and return to the old empire
01:07:26immediately. No remain near the capital. You think I marched all this way for nothing? Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:37Warriors attack the city! Burn this capper to the ground! Take whatever you want! Gold, food,
01:07:43treasures, women! Everything inside belongs to you! Show no mercy! All troops, prepare for battle! Archers, fire!
01:07:52Drop the stones! Pour the oil! Hold the gates!
01:07:59Gromj! You savage beast! Never trample the capital of Cadet!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want! Take! Enter the city! Loot everything! Burn everything! Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want! Tonight, we feast!
01:08:40Urgent! Urgent! Your Majesty, Gromj has forcibly breached the main gate. General Garrick,
01:08:44who was defending the capital, has fallen in battle. He died fighting to the end.
01:08:50No, no! That's impossible!
01:08:53Garrick was personally appointed by the late king.
01:08:58He fought through his entire life on the battlefield and defended this kingdom for decades!
01:09:05How could he just die like that? It's true, your majesty. I saw it with my own eyes. General
01:09:12Garrick fought Gromj alone and never backed down until the final blow from the axe struck him down
01:09:16on the city wall. The orc army is advancing at full speed. Within half a day, they will reach the
01:09:21palace
01:09:22gates. It's the end. The capital is gone. Who can protect me? Who can save Cade? I don't want to
01:09:33die
01:09:33by those monsters. Your majesty! The capital has fallen into chaos. Our defenses are collapsing. Our
01:09:38soldiers are dead on the battlefield. And innocent pavilions are being slaughtered. We're caused by
01:09:42Irene. She invited orc forces into our land. She dragged the entire kingdom into hell. She must be
01:09:47executed immediately. Only her death can climb the people's rage. Execute Irene. Pay for the capital
01:09:53with her life! Your majesty, please believe me. I never betrayed the kingdom. I only wanted to use
01:10:02the foreign to stabilize the situation and protect you. I am loyal to you. I was misled. I never intended
01:10:09this outcome. Irene! You're nothing but a dirty liar. You deceived the king. You pushed out loyal
01:10:15medicines. You brought foreign beasts into our homeland to slaughter our people. Your crimes are
01:10:21unforgivable. I will end you myself. Your majesty, save me! Stop him! Don't kill me! I'm still useful!
01:10:33Please, your majesty, spare me. I can still help you. I can serve you with my everything.
01:10:41Irene, there's no way out anymore. The kingdom has reached its end. Only your death can calm
01:10:48everyone's rage. Only then will I have the face to beg Hera to return. Right now, she is the only
01:10:54one who can save Cade. Byron, give me the sword.
01:11:00Your majesty, what are you doing? No, please! Spare me! I'm loyal to you!
01:11:05I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom. I regret it. I regret ever listening to you.
01:11:11No! Please! I was wrong! I beg you!
01:11:15I beg her for you! I love you! I'll take my goal and move upon you if needed to rest.
