00:00:15Ethan, this is the ice crystal you formed with your very first spell.
00:00:21Today is your birthday. Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:00:33Ethan, stay here while mother goes to buy you a sweet cake, alright?
00:00:37No, we need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:52Excuse me, do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:56Please, sir. My son's birthday is today.
00:01:00He's always wanted a sweet cake, even just a small piece.
00:01:03Out! Go buy your scraps at the end of the street.
00:01:09Ethan, you'll have sweet cakes for his birthday today. I promise.
00:01:16Get out of the way!
00:01:20Get out of the way!
00:01:42Child! Child! Where are this boy's parents?
00:01:46Oh!
00:01:50This is formed from ice magic.
00:01:55He carries a talent for ice magic.
00:01:58A skill that hasn't appeared in 300 years.
00:02:07Ethan!
00:02:08Ethan, I got you your cake!
00:02:10Ethan?
00:02:11Ethan!
00:02:15Ethan!
00:02:16Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:17Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:20Ethan!
00:02:21My son!
00:02:34Doctor, the boy.
00:02:35The injuries are severe.
00:02:36You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:38Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:41Open the portal!
00:02:43Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:52The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan!
00:03:00My soul!
00:03:01My soul!
00:03:09My soul!
00:03:31And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:49Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:53I swear it.
00:04:20Ethan, father will find you.
00:04:21Ethan, father will find you.
00:04:56My lord, Ethan, you have become the greatest mage in the kingdom.
00:05:02From this day forward, you are the new grand commander of the legion.
00:05:06Father, the legion is in good hands.
00:05:08Please, go and rest.
00:05:13This is the construction plan for the Frost Village training camp.
00:05:17Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:21But I worry about you.
00:05:23Go.
00:05:24Frost Village is your home.
00:05:27This one's hung around your neck.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:30All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:33Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:35Go now.
00:05:36Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:41Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:55Ethan, where are you?
00:05:57I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy, wonderful news.
00:06:01The most wonderful news.
00:06:04Victor, is it Ethan?
00:06:06Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:11Ethan?
00:06:13Why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:15The Royal Magic Legion is building a new training camp in the Northern Territory.
00:06:19All of Frost Village is being cleared, including that broken shack of yours.
00:06:25My son Marcus bargained for you.
00:06:28Fifty gold coin in settlement.
00:06:30They're tearing down our house?
00:06:32That's right.
00:06:37No, we can't.
00:06:39If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:43I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:53Welcome, Commander!
00:06:56Commander, the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:06:59There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:02Shall we... force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions.
00:07:06I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:23Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:35Auntie Lucy!
00:07:37What are you doing?
00:07:38The new Legion Commander is here.
00:07:39Put that thing away before you get me killed!
00:07:42Marcus, please!
00:07:43Your Commander has surely met many people.

00:46:32you're insane
00:46:34let me go
00:46:35where are my parents
00:46:38What have you done with them?
00:46:46Give up.
00:46:48That is a mage binding chain that doesn't just restrain your power.
00:46:53In one hour, it will drain your magic entirely and leave you a broken man.
00:46:59Sam, I always thought of you as the brother.
00:47:02I trust with my life.
00:47:04Why?
00:47:05You hypocrite!
00:47:07Even now you lie.
00:47:09If it weren't for you,
00:47:11if only you didn't exist,
00:47:14the commander's seat would have been mine!
00:47:18You have no idea what I gave to become commander.
00:47:21I trained every hour of every day.
00:47:23I pushed through every injury.
00:47:25I could suffer anything if it meant I could become commander.
00:47:28And then there was you.
00:47:30You beat me without trying.
00:47:32You took everything I ever wanted.
00:47:34You made me this shameful loser!
00:47:37Sam, you haven't lost.
00:47:39You've let obsession blind you.
00:47:41I have always seen your effort.
00:47:43Your worth.
00:47:44In my eyes,
00:47:46you are already one of the greatest mages in the kingdom.
00:47:49You knew.
00:47:51Release the chain.
00:47:52Let us speak plainly.
00:47:57He's manipulating you!
00:47:59Do you want to be a deputy for the rest of your life?
00:48:01Exactly!
00:48:03Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:06Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:06Sam, stop struggling.
00:48:08Every soul in this city is about to die because of you.
00:48:11You'll be thrown from the commander's seat and cursed for a thousand years.
00:48:26My son!
00:48:27It's useless.
00:48:28Only the owner can open the mage-binding chain.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:31You spent three months developing it.
00:48:33You've always been brilliant.
00:48:34That means nothing right now!
00:48:41Enough!
00:48:42Don't waste our time!
00:48:44No!
00:48:45What are you doing?
00:48:46You promised you wouldn't kill Ethan.
00:48:48So that was their arrangement.
00:48:52Sam,
00:48:53do you know why Ethan always outranked you?
00:48:56Because you are too soft.
00:48:58Poor little deputy.
00:48:59Think carefully.
00:49:01If Ethan were gone,
00:49:02who would be left to contest the commander's seat?
00:49:04Exactly.
00:49:05Ethan is the only one who needs to die.
00:49:08Don't believe them!
00:49:09They're using you!
00:49:10I think you're a smart man.
00:49:14You know what to do.
00:49:16No.
00:49:23Sam,
00:49:24you deserve victory.
00:49:26Do you really want to claim it through dirty tricks?
00:49:29Useless!
00:49:43Mother!
00:49:45No!
00:49:46Out of my way!
00:49:47No.
00:49:48A mother will never hide.
00:49:50Mother...
00:49:51Ethan,
00:49:52I am so proud of you.
00:49:54You've become such a wonderful man.
00:49:56You've already done so much for us.
00:49:59Now let us protect you.
00:50:00Get out of the way,
00:50:01you old fools!
00:50:02Two powerless wrenches.
00:50:04I'll send you all off together.
00:50:06Mother!
00:50:07Mother,
00:50:08get back!
00:50:09No.
00:50:10A mother should always protect her son.
00:50:13It was my fault.
00:50:15All those years ago,
00:50:16you suffered so much.
00:50:18Don't blame Mother.
00:50:19I failed you.
00:50:21I couldn't even buy you
00:50:23the sweet cake you loved.
00:50:25I, Garrett,
00:50:25am of noble birth.
00:50:27I do not strike those without magic.
00:50:29If you insist on standing in my way,
00:50:31take three strikes,
00:50:32survive them,
00:50:33and I'll let him go.
00:50:35His health has never been good.
00:50:37He's been ill for years.
00:50:39But...
00:50:39I'll take them.
00:50:41Perhaps I can hold.
00:50:43What are these fools dealing about?
00:50:44Do it, Father!
00:50:45Father!
00:50:47Father!
00:50:47Mother!
00:50:57Mother!
00:51:02Mother!
00:51:14Powerless fool!
00:51:15My father is the Northern Territory's greatest swordsman!
00:51:18That strike was a lesson.
00:51:21No one defies me in all the Northern Territory.
00:51:24Poor woman.
00:51:25Powerless.
00:51:26She doesn't stand a chance against Garrett.
00:51:42Mother!
00:51:47She's still standing.
00:51:54That was the first strike.
00:51:56I was merciful to hold back.
00:52:00Step aside now and you keep your life.
00:52:02No. My son needs me.
00:52:06I will not move.
00:52:08Mother.
00:52:10Then you die.
00:52:12No one in the Northern Territory has ever survived three of my father's strikes.
00:52:16Least of all, a frail old woman like you.
00:52:21You!
00:52:24What are you doing?
00:52:25You would betray my father?
00:52:28I...
00:52:31Garret held back on the first strike.
00:52:34But the second...
00:52:49I showed mercy once because you are old.
00:52:51That mercy is gone.
00:52:56Mother!
00:52:58Mother!
00:53:03Mother!
00:53:08She's finally dead!
00:53:10Ha!
00:53:10No one survives three of Garret's strikes.
00:53:13She gave everything she had.
00:53:16Lucy...
00:53:16Your sacrifice will not be wasted.
00:53:19Now it's my turn to protect our son.
00:53:30Ethan, you missed 20 years.
00:53:34But I am so glad I lived to see the man you've become.
00:53:38Far greater than I ever imagined.
00:53:42I'm sorry.
00:53:43I won't be able to walk beside you any longer.
00:53:46Ethan, I only hope you will be happy.
00:53:55I give you no more chances.
00:53:58Die!
00:54:12I...
00:54:12Lost again?
00:54:13Lost again?
00:54:21How...
00:54:21How are you still standing?
00:54:25No matter how hard I try.
00:54:36How is your mother?
00:54:38Safe.
00:54:40She's no longer in danger.
00:54:41But we need to get her to a healer.
00:54:44Then let's go now!
00:54:49I think you can just walk away.
00:54:58The barrier?
00:54:59You said you wouldn't touch the barrier!
00:55:02Sam.
00:55:03You are far too naive.
00:55:05Did you really think your mage binding chain was enough?
00:55:08Of course I had a backup plan.
00:55:10It's your own fault you're useless!
00:55:12You.
00:55:13You...
00:55:19No!
00:55:22Nice.
00:55:31No!
00:55:33No!
00:55:34No!
00:55:35No!
00:55:35No!
00:55:36No!
00:55:42Grand Commander, Ethan!
00:55:44The magical barrier needs your magical energy!
00:55:47Father, Mother, wait just a little longer.
00:55:49Once the barrier's restored, I'll come straight back.
00:55:51Go, child, we'll be here.
00:55:54Begin restoring the barrier.
00:55:56Now.
00:56:04Commander!
00:56:06Commander, please channel your energy!
00:56:18Father, are we just going to wait while they repair it?
00:56:21Ethan, you will not win.
00:56:23You insist on stripping me of my governorship.
00:56:26I'll burn the Northern Territory to the ground before I give it up.
00:56:29Release me, now!
00:56:32Commander, we cannot lift our hands from the ground.
00:56:34Until the barrier's restored.
00:56:36Not one thread of magical energy can escape.
00:56:39If it does, everything is lost.
00:56:45We are safe.
00:56:46The repair circle protects those channeling it.
00:56:50Is that so?
00:56:52And what about those two?
00:56:57Let's see how lucky you are this time.
00:57:07Commander!
00:57:09Don't let go!
00:57:11Without the barrier, the entire Northern Territory will...
00:57:15So what?
00:57:17Peasants and commoners.
00:57:19Worthless.
00:57:21If they die, they die.
00:57:23Exactly.
00:57:25We are nobility.
00:57:27Superior by birth.
00:57:30Commander!
00:57:31Three hundred thousand commoners live here.
00:57:33The loved ones of soldiers.
00:57:35The Legion.
00:57:37Who doesn't have loved ones?
00:57:39Think of the sacrifice your parents made to protect you.
00:57:42Can you really bear to let them die?
00:57:55It's alright, Ethan.
00:57:57We'd never blame you.
00:57:59This is the right choice.
00:58:02We're proud of you.
00:58:04Silence, old man.
00:58:07My poison dagger.
00:58:09This venom makes a man feel every cut before he dies.
00:58:13Ethan, remember, all of this is your fault.
00:58:34Are you insane?
00:58:36You dare betray me?
00:58:37You broke your oath first.
00:58:39You swore you wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:58:40He never truly meant to harm me.
00:58:43Sam was only led astray.
00:58:45Sam, you brought this on yourself, every bit of it.
00:58:48Sam!
00:58:49You did the right thing.
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51I made the right choice.
00:58:53You believe his lies?
00:58:55Fool!
00:58:56Every man who reaches the top has blood on his hands.
00:58:58That's why you'll never be Ethan's equal!
00:59:01Useless!
00:59:08You are the brother I trust.
00:59:14You'll always be worthless.
00:59:39Father!
00:59:40Arrest Northern Territory Governor Garrett and his son Fitz.
00:59:43Take them to prison at once.
00:59:44Have them confess every crime, one by one.
00:59:49You know what to do with those who refuse.
00:59:52Ethan, listen to me!
00:59:54My family has money!
00:59:55I'll give you whatever you want!
00:59:56Take it all!
00:59:57This was all my father's doing!
00:59:59None of it was me!
01:00:08Get them to the healer!
01:00:09Now!
01:00:13You.
01:00:19Commander!
01:00:31Commander!
01:00:32Thank you for saving the Northern Territory.
01:00:35It was my duty.
01:00:38No.
01:00:39You made a great sacrifice.
01:00:41We are grateful.
01:00:42Commander!
01:00:43My parents live by the city wall.
01:00:45If the beasts had broken through, they would have been the first to die.
01:00:48You saved our families.
01:00:50We owe you our lives.
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:55We are all wall guards.
01:00:57Without you, every one of my brothers would have died.
01:01:00Rise.
01:01:01On behalf of the Legion, I thank you for your service.
01:01:03Day after day.
01:01:24Ethan!
01:01:26Mother!
01:01:29What happened?
01:01:30Where am I?
01:01:31You lost too much blood and fainted.
01:01:33The Commander healed you with magic.
01:01:35You're safe now.
01:01:36He has some old ailments.
01:01:38He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:42Ethan.
01:01:44The King wishes to see all of you.
01:01:50Lucy.
01:01:51Thomas.
01:01:52You have shown courage and kindness.
01:01:54You were willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the people of the Northern Territory.
01:01:58The Kingdom of Floria is more honored to have subjects such as you.
01:02:01Therefore, I hereby firstow upon Thomas the title of Earl, and upon Lucy the title of Countess.
01:02:08Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:12Legion Deputy Commander Sam.
01:02:20Sam, you betrayed the Legion, injured your commander, and dealt a blow to the Legion's honor.
01:02:25However, however, on account of your remorse and service in rescuing the Earl and Countess, the Tribunal has weighed your
01:02:31crimes and judged them cleared.
01:02:33Effective today, you are relieved of all duties.
01:02:37Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:39Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:42Ethan.
01:02:46I am here.
01:02:49You were fearless in the face of death, and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:02:54You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:02:59It was only my duty.
01:03:02I hereby declare, my most precious daughter, Princess Rowena, shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:09It is my honor to wed the Princess.
01:03:11I hereby swear, so long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory, no war shall ever reach the hem
01:03:17of Your Highness's gown.
01:03:18One final matter.
01:03:19I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward, Crown Prince of the Kingdom.
01:03:31This is as far as you go.
01:03:34Your parents are waiting for you.
01:03:35Are you truly leaving?
01:03:37Stay and think it over.
01:03:39The Legion needs you.
01:03:42Not after what I've done.
01:03:44We fought side by side, and I nearly destroyed their families.
01:03:49They wouldn't want to see me.
01:03:51But in the end, you still-
01:03:52Ethan, I'm going out to find myself.
01:03:55Train.
01:03:56Maybe one day I'll come back stronger than you.
01:03:58Very well.
01:03:59I'll be here waiting for your challenge.
01:04:02Perhaps I will be the one to claim victory.
01:04:05I won't hold back.
01:04:07I'll be waiting.
01:04:21Ethan.
01:04:22Ethan.
01:04:23Mother.
01:04:24Are you all right?
01:04:25I was worried about you.
01:04:26I'm fine.
01:04:26I'm just happy.
01:04:27From now on, we will never be separated again.
01:04:30Yes. Our family will always be together.
01:04:32Always.
