Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Oh no, they're on us! Warriors, do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:19Gods, help me! I was a fool! I should have listened to Hera! I should never have led the campaign!
00:00:25Never set foot in the Orc Empire!
00:00:35Pooh bugs!
00:00:50Hera...
00:00:52Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:11The gods are punishing me.
00:01:13Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name that would outlive me, and
00:01:20nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin.
00:01:22Your Majesty, just save your strength. You need to stay alive.
00:01:28My time's over. Moses is too young, too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone.
00:01:34Your Majesty...
00:01:35Then hear my final command. Guide him. Protect him. Don't let Cade fall.
00:01:40Moses. Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Kay, this kingdom will
00:01:46never fall. Listen to her. You're bound together by your engagement. Rule this land side by side.
00:01:52Father, I swear it. Father, I swear it. I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her, and listen to
00:01:59her. I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:02:02The gods' power isn't endless. But for Moses, for Cade, I'll give everything I have.
00:02:09Good. Good.
00:02:14Father! Father!
00:02:17Long live the king!
00:02:22Rise.
00:02:23Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:29of Cade grew stronger with each passing day. But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds, and slowly
00:02:37drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:40Your Majesty! Urgent news from the border! The Orc Empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:47Those beasts dare invade Cade? Who 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.
00:03:01Hera. I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you. When you return victorious, I'll honor our
00:03:08engagement.
00:03:08I'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 Orc Empire? Today every last one of you die!
00:03:33The Scepter of Light! You're carrying the relic!
00:03:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha! So your godly power has limits after all.
00:03:44Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's last godsworn!
00:03:49Crush the woman-guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:54Pull back!
00:04:06In the gods' name, Godfall Ashgrave!
00:04:13You witch-rust woman! We'll return! And when we do, how will you alone stand against my million-strong tide
00:04:21of beasts?
00:04:24The Scepter of Light!
00:04:32Commander!
00:04:34Dear God! You're gravely wounded!
00:04:36I'll get a healer right now. Just hang on!
00:04:41I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:47Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course. Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cady's history.
00:05:06Your Majesty.
00:05:08Hera.
00:05:15Hera! Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty. What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war.
00:05:29And 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 Cady'd soldiers still died.
00:05:38Our people worked themselves to the bone supplying your war, food and weapons.
00:05:42You nearly bled this kingdom dry and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:46Your Majesty. That was a million beast horde. Even a god's one has limits.
00:05:50He's right. Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already.
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the god sworn. 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.
00:06:12I 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.
00:06:20She 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?
00:06:32You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Kneel!
00:06:38Your majesty, please reconsider her.
00:06:40Hera slid blood for this kingdom. You can't treat her like this.
00:06:44Treasonous fool. You 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 100 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.
00:07:10In this life, I'll only ever love you.
00:07:12As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:16I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever.
00:07:19Without you, this crown means nothing to me.
00:07:22You're my only light.
00:07:23My only love.
00:07:25Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes.
00:07:28My king.
00:07:29I'd give everything for you, too.
00:07:33This world only worships winners.
00:07:35Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:40You 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.
00:07:50My wounds reopen every night.
00:07:52I cough blood in silence.
00:07:55Yet he never noticed.
00:07:56Never cared.
00:07:58That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:07Commander, we fought through hell to save this kingdom.
00:08:11And this is how they repay you?
00:08:13Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:19Power is just dust.
00:08:21It never mattered to me.
00:08:22Commander, the kings betrayed everyone.
00:08:25You gave everything to Cade, and this is what you got in return?
00:08:28To hell with that king!
00:08:30Commander, let's rebel.
00:08:32Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours.
00:08:36Enough!
00:08:39Commander, we don't care about power or glory.
00:08:42We just want to protect Cade.
00:08:44To protect the people under under God's blessing.
00:08:47Commander, the king's blind.
00:08:48And the court's full of vipers.
00:08:51A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the gods.
00:08:54That's enough.
00:08:55Get 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.
00:09:09Commander, but the king...
00:09:10Enough!
00:09:11Never speak of this again!
00:09:15Commander, 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.
00:09:45I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:52It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:09:58I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:10:00The 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.
00:10:18Commander, if this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother.
00:10:22You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:23I've known the king almost my whole life.
00:10:25And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:42Commander, if you're angry, take it out on me.
00:10:45Even if I need to die, I will play with you.
00:10:52Hera!
00:10:53You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:54I swear by the gods.
00:10:57I never touched her.
00:10:58I would never hurt her.
00:11:00I 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.
00:11:10I deserve punishment.
00:11:11If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it.
00:11:17Hera, I order you to apologize to Irene right now.
00:11:20I did nothing wrong.
00:11:22Why should I apologize?
00:11:23Dare you disobey me?
00:11:25Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:44Hera!
00:11:45That was incredible!
00:11:47Teach me!
00:11:47Come here.
00:11:48I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind.
00:11:52Keep your arms steady.
00:11:53Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:11:55That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:01Hera, you're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:04When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:07I'll stay by your side forever and 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.
00:12:23Cain!
00:12:24You dare defy me too?
00:12:26You 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.
00:12:33She's blessed by the gods.
00:12:34How can you treat her this way?
00:12:35And I saw everything clearly.
00:12:37It was Rean.
00:12:37She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:43Guards!
00:12:44Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers.
00:12:46He 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, and the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be
00:13:06taken back immediately.
00:13:15As you command.
00:13:17One hundred chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:33Moses!
00:13:35That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:40It 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.
00:14:10Then make them know you.
00:14:13It's fine, mother.
00:14:15She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:17Only 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.
00:14:28She'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.
00:14:35I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:37You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:39Besides, 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.
00:14:46Just remember, control your decisions anymore.
00:14:49Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:52That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:01Your Majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:06Let 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,
00:15:30just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:33Before I leave the palace,
00:15:35this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, Your Majesty!
00:15:43The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:15:44They want peace talks!
00:15:47Guards!
00:15:48Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:49Approved.
00:15:50You may leave now.
00:15:52Hera, I know you've suffered lately.
00:15:54We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:16:00Your Majesty.
00:16:02There's no after this anymore.
00:16:05There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera!
00:16:22Are you hurt?
00:16:25I'm fine.
00:16:26It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's not nothing.
00:16:30To me,
00:16:31you matter more than the throne,
00:16:33more than this kingdom,
00:16:34more than anything in this world.
00:16:39From this day on,
00:16:41we are neither ruler and subject,
00:16:44nor husband and wife.
00:16:50Hera!
00:16:52Come home safe.
00:16:53I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:16:58Hera!
00:17:00Do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:05Moses.
00:17:06Hera is no ordinary woman.
00:17:08The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods,
00:17:11I'll trust her and listen to her.
00:17:13I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:22This world is vast enough
00:17:23that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:32May the gods bless them.
00:17:35The king is finally marrying Commander Hera.
00:17:38What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:40I heard she lost her title,
00:17:42her army,
00:17:43even her sacred Christ.
00:17:44Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:47You don't understand.
00:17:48The king just wants her to put down her sword
00:17:50and live peacefully beside him.
00:17:51It's out of love.
00:17:52I see.
00:17:53Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:03Your majesty,
00:18:05we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:07What nerve!
00:18:09The king himself arrives!
00:18:11Dare you not come greet him?
00:18:13This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:15Don't blame her.
00:18:16She's been hurt lately.
00:18:18I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:21What's wrong?
00:18:22Where's Hera?
00:18:25Well...
00:18:25Go find her now!
00:18:37Stop!
00:18:44Your majesty!
00:18:46Tell me where Hera is.
00:18:48Answer honestly.
00:18:50Your majesty!
00:18:52Lady Hera left the capital the day
00:18:54she surrendered the sacred crest.
00:18:56I 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 tech me,
00:19:07protect Cade!
00:19:07She swore before the gods!
00:19:08She would never leave me!
00:19:09Your majesty,
00:19:10I swear by the gods,
00:19:11but dare perceive you!
00:19:13Insolence!
00:19:14How dare you speak such nonsense
00:19:15before his majesty!
00:19:17Hera,
00:19:17now that you're gone,
00:19:19your kingdom and your man
00:19:20are all mine!
00:19:22Your majesty,
00:19:23I swear by the gods,
00:19:25Lady Hera truly left the capital!
00:19:27Before she left,
00:19:28she ordered me to throw away
00:19:30all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:32Hera,
00:19:32these night bracelets
00:19:33were offered by the Lord
00:19:34of the Eastern Territories.
00:19:35I saved them especially for you.
00:19:37Wear them,
00:19:38like I'm always by your side,
00:19:39protecting me.
00:19:40I love them.
00:19:41I'll treasure them forever.
00:19:44Old belongings.
00:19:45Could she mean
00:19:46all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?
00:19:51Oh,
00:19:52over there!
00:19:53Half of them have already burned!
00:20:00Those were my gifts to her.
00:20:11Hera,
00:20:12Hera,
00:20:12This is our vow parchment.
00:20:14It says,
00:20:15I'll love Hera forever
00:20:16and we'll never be apart.
00:20:18Yes.
00:20:18We'll be together forever,
00:20:20never apart.
00:20:26When you're away at war,
00:20:27if you miss me,
00:20:28look at this painting.
00:20:31Whenever I miss you,
00:20:33I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:36Guards!
00:20:37This man destroyed royal property!
00:20:39Execute him immediately!
00:20:40Guards!
00:20:41This man destroyed royal property!
00:20:43Execute him immediately!
00:20:45Mercy,
00:20:45Your Majesty!
00:20:46I swear by the gods!
00:20:48I didn't know those belonged
00:20:49to the royal family!
00:20:50Please spare me!
00:20:52You can't do this!
00:20:52He didn't know!
00:20:53Your Majesty,
00:20:54you can't kill him!
00:20:55What?
00:20:56You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left
00:20:58and you already want to
00:21:00execute her old servant.
00:21:01If she hears about this,
00:21:02what will she think of you?
00:21:03Right.
00:21:04She just left.
00:21:05She can't have gone far yet.
00:21:06I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:08Hera no longer holds any office.
00:21:10You have no right to force her back.
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore,
00:21:16but she is still my rightful fiancé.
00:21:18I have every right
00:21:20to bring her back.
00:21:21Hera abandoned the royal wedding
00:21:23and disgraced the crown
00:21:24before the entire kingdom.
00:21:26That's treason against
00:21:27the royal family
00:21:28and betrayal of the gods.
00:21:29A crime worthy of death.
00:21:32Exactly!
00:21:33Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:36Brother,
00:21:37have you ever stopped to think
00:21:38why Hera left without a word?
00:21:40Have you reflected
00:21:41on anything you've done?
00:21:44Cain!
00:21:45Are you saying
00:21:46all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare.
00:21:49Enough!
00:21:49Get out!
00:21:50I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:55And you...
00:21:57Do you think
00:21:58this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not!
00:22:01This is all Hera's doing.
00:22:02She's manipulated
00:22:03everyone around her.
00:22:05She bewitched Cain
00:22:06with that pretty face of hers.
00:22:08That's why he keeps
00:22:09defending her.
00:22:10I knew it.
00:22:12Cain must have feelings
00:22:13for Hera.
00:22:14But now...
00:22:16How do I fix this mess?
00:22:18I thought marrying her
00:22:19would stabilize the kingdom.
00:22:21But she escaped.
00:22:23Turning me into a joke
00:22:24of the whole kingdom.
00:22:26I have a solution,
00:22:27your majesty.
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:30The only way to calm
00:22:31the royal court
00:22:32and the people
00:22:33is to find someone
00:22:35to impersonate Hera
00:22:36until this crisis passes.
00:22:38Your height and figure
00:22:39are close enough to Hera's.
00:22:41You'll do.
00:22:44Your majesty.
00:22:46I'm afraid I may not
00:22:47be worthy enough
00:22:48for such a role.
00:22:49That was not a request.
00:22:50It's an order.
00:22:52Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:55I...
00:22:55as you command.
00:23:02Hera...
00:23:02The kingdom you built
00:23:04and the man you loved.
00:23:05From now on,
00:23:07they'll all belong to me.
00:23:09Hera...
00:23:09I am the king of Cade.
00:23:11The ruler of this world.
00:23:13No one's allowed
00:23:14to defy me.
00:23:24Hera...
00:23:24Is that you?
00:23:26You finally came back to me.
00:23:28My Hera...
00:23:30I knew you were hurt before.
00:23:33But why wouldn't you
00:23:34just listen to me?
00:23:36I wanted to tell you everything.
00:23:38On our wedding night.
00:23:42Hera...
00:23:43I fell in love with you
00:23:44the very first moment
00:23:45I saw you.
00:23:47But I'm a king.
00:23:48I wasn't just myself.
00:23:50Couldn't you have understood me
00:23:51just a little more?
00:23:53But don't worry.
00:23:54I'll make it up to you
00:23:55from now on.
00:23:57Irene even taught me
00:23:59how to please a woman.
00:24:00I'll make you happy.
00:24:02I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:07Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:14Your Majesty!
00:24:15We located Hera.
00:24:16Hera, she's currently
00:24:17in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:18Great.
00:24:19I'm leaving immediately.
00:24:20I'll bring Hera back myself.
00:24:22Hera, you bitch.
00:24:24I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins
00:24:26to kill you in Essos Ridge
00:24:28before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:30Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:39Your mind's somewhere else tonight.
00:24:41After everything you did for Cade,
00:24:43after all your victories,
00:24:44this is how the king repaid you.
00:24:46How can the world be this unfair?
00:24:48I spent my whole life
00:24:49fighting wars for the kingdom.
00:24:51Now that I finally have peace,
00:24:53you should be happy for me.
00:24:55It may be so.
00:24:57But it's still so unfair.
00:24:59There, it's heartbreaking.
00:25:05Look out!
00:25:11Such strong magic.
00:25:13They aren't ordinary assassins.
00:25:19Hera, time to die.
00:25:28Don't touch her!
00:25:39Gareth!
00:25:48Gareth!
00:25:57Your power is impressive.
00:26:00But your old wounds never healed.
00:26:02You're finished.
00:26:05Tonight,
00:26:06I'm taking your life.
00:26:08Who sent you?
00:26:11Who else in Cade
00:26:12has this kind of power
00:26:13besides the king himself?
00:26:15Don't touch her!
00:26:20Cade!
00:26:21Cade!
00:26:22Stay with me!
00:26:22You can't die!
00:26:38You can't die!
00:26:40So it's true, Hera.
00:26:42I knew there was something
00:26:43between you and Cade.
00:26:44I came all this way
00:26:46to bring you back
00:26:47and this is what I find?
00:26:48Sneaking around
00:26:49with my own brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly?
00:26:52You're a prince.
00:26:53Why would you throw yourself
00:26:54in front of that blade for me?
00:26:56It's not worth...
00:26:57Lady Hera,
00:26:58you gave everything for Cade.
00:27:00For its people.
00:27:01It's my honor to save you.
00:27:03I dreamed of marrying you.
00:27:05Of ruling this kingdom together.
00:27:07And all this time
00:27:08you were with my brother?
00:27:09Don't think I can't see the truth.
00:27:12You ran from the wedding
00:27:13because you wanted
00:27:14to elope with Cade.
00:27:18Brother,
00:27:19you've got it wrong.
00:27:20I...
00:27:20I only followed
00:27:21because I was worried
00:27:22Hera might be in danger.
00:27:24We...
00:27:24We weren't running away together.
00:27:26You expect me to believe that?
00:27:28If your majesty
00:27:29has already decided
00:27:30what to believe,
00:27:32then there's nothing
00:27:33left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say,
00:27:36guards!
00:27:37Execute Hera, now!
00:27:44That's a royal command!
00:27:46Are you all defying
00:27:47your king now?
00:27:48Your...
00:27:48Your majesty,
00:27:49Hera fought
00:27:50and bled for this kingdom.
00:27:51Earned countless honors.
00:27:53You...
00:27:53You cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you
00:27:56have the guts,
00:27:57I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty,
00:27:59Hera sacrificed
00:28:01everything for this kingdom.
00:28:02How...
00:28:03How can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:05Everything I've done
00:28:06in this life,
00:28:07I can answer for
00:28:09before myself
00:28:09and before this land.
00:28:10Answer for yourself?
00:28:12Then what about
00:28:12our engagement?
00:28:13You abandoned me
00:28:14on our wedding day
00:28:15and humiliated the royal family
00:28:16before the entire kingdom.
00:28:18Did you ever think about me?
00:28:19Do you remember
00:28:20the document I handed you
00:28:21the last time I came to see you?
00:28:23You approved it yourself.
00:28:25The document?
00:28:27The document?
00:28:28The document?
00:28:33Your majesty,
00:28:34I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire
00:28:36has sent envoys!
00:28:37They want peace talks!
00:28:40Approved.
00:28:41You may leave now.
00:28:42Someone!
00:28:43Bring me that document!
00:28:45Now!
00:28:51No!
00:28:52No, it's not true!
00:28:54This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read Kef.
00:28:58Thankfully, it's real.
00:29:00How?
00:29:02How did this happen?
00:29:03Why didn't I know about this?
00:29:04Who kept this from me?
00:29:05Who?
00:29:06It was you!
00:29:07Take him out
00:29:08and execute him now!
00:29:09Your majesty, please!
00:29:11I swear I hid nothing!
00:29:12You approved it
00:29:12without even a glance!
00:29:14Hera,
00:29:15I swear to the gods
00:29:16I didn't know
00:29:17it was a cancellation document.
00:29:18Please believe me.
00:29:20It's already done.
00:29:21Our engagement was over.
00:29:23There's nothing left
00:29:24between us now.
00:29:25You promised my father!
00:29:26You promised to protect
00:29:28Kated to protect my throne!
00:29:30I did.
00:29:31And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:33Then that means you can still-
00:29:35I once swore before the gods
00:29:35that I would give you
00:29:36one hundred chances.
00:29:38You've used every last one.
00:29:40One hundred?
00:29:41How could they all be gone already?
00:29:43No!
00:29:44You're lying to me!
00:29:45That was a hundred chances!
00:29:47There's no way
00:29:48they're gone already!
00:29:48You are stripped
00:29:49of your position as regent.
00:29:51Irene will take your place.
00:29:52As you command.
00:29:55Pity's foolish heroes
00:29:56who throw their lives away.
00:30:02From this day on,
00:30:04we are neither ruler and subject,
00:30:07nor husband and wife.
00:30:15Now the hundred chances
00:30:16are truly gone.
00:30:18It's time to leave.
00:30:21Everything in Kato
00:30:22belongs to me!
00:30:24Including you!
00:30:25I'd kill you
00:30:26rather than let you leave me!
00:30:32Fine.
00:30:33If you truly want my life,
00:30:35then take it.
00:30:37Your Majesty!
00:30:38You can't kill her!
00:30:41She'd rather be killed
00:30:43than come back to me.
00:30:44Your Majesty!
00:30:45You can't kill her!
00:30:51Your Highness,
00:30:52you don't have to do this.
00:30:54Your Majesty,
00:30:56Lady Hera has done
00:30:56too much for Kade.
00:30:58If you kill her like this,
00:30:59the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:01She chose this herself.
00:31:02I didn't mean to.
00:31:04I beg you,
00:31:05Your Majesty,
00:31:06Spare her life.
00:31:08Why do you care
00:31:08about her so much?
00:31:10This isn't personal.
00:31:11But the people
00:31:12know right from wrong.
00:31:14If you execute
00:31:15a national hero
00:31:16without cause,
00:31:17neither the nobles
00:31:18nor the people
00:31:19will accept it.
00:31:19Good.
00:31:20Everyone says Hera
00:31:21has the people behind her.
00:31:22Power everywhere.
00:31:24Loyal followers
00:31:25everywhere she goes.
00:31:26Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:27Your Majesty,
00:31:28please don't say that.
00:31:30The late king
00:31:30changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me,
00:31:33believed in me.
00:31:33I'll never forget
00:31:34that kindness.
00:31:35So don't worry,
00:31:36Your Majesty.
00:31:37I will never rebel.
00:31:38You won't.
00:31:39But what about your men?
00:31:40Gavin,
00:31:41Arryn,
00:31:41Thor?
00:31:41Every one of them
00:31:42is a deadly commander.
00:31:43Can you guarantee
00:31:44they won't turn against me?
00:31:54I'll let them lay down
00:31:55their titles
00:31:56and return home.
00:31:57The royal family
00:31:58will face no threat
00:31:59from them.
00:31:59You have my word.
00:32:01I can let you leave,
00:32:02but you must promise me
00:32:03never serve another kingdom.
00:32:05Marshal Hera
00:32:06is unbelievably talented.
00:32:08What a waste
00:32:08to be chained down
00:32:09by them.
00:32:09Watch your tongue!
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs
00:32:11in front of me,
00:32:12want to die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:16Swear before the gods
00:32:17that you will never
00:32:17serve anyone else
00:32:18for the rest of your life,
00:32:19or you'll be punished
00:32:20with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:22I accept.
00:32:23I, Hera,
00:32:24swear before the gods.
00:32:25For the rest of my life,
00:32:27I will fight me for Cade
00:32:28and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:29I will never serve
00:32:30another kingdom or power.
00:32:31If I break this oath,
00:32:33may the gods deliver
00:32:34their harshest punishment upon me.
00:32:35Hera!
00:32:36You'd rather abandon
00:32:37all your talent
00:32:38and disappear into the wilderness
00:32:39than stay by my side?
00:32:41I already gave
00:32:42the first half of my life
00:32:43to Cade.
00:32:44I fulfilled
00:32:45the late king's final wish.
00:32:47Now it's time
00:32:48for me to leave.
00:32:50I want to travel the world,
00:32:51live the rest of my life
00:32:53in peace,
00:32:53and never involve myself
00:32:54in the kingdom again.
00:32:55You good, Hera!
00:32:56So you really think
00:32:57Cade will fall apart
00:32:58without you?
00:32:59That I can't rule
00:32:59this kingdom without you?
00:33:01You seriously
00:33:01overestimate yourself.
00:33:03I never thought that.
00:33:04That's exactly
00:33:05what you think.
00:33:06Lucky for Cade,
00:33:07there's never a shortage
00:33:08of warriors
00:33:08or brilliant minds.
00:33:10With Irene leading
00:33:11the kingdom,
00:33:12Cade will thrive just fine.
00:33:14Better than ever, actually.
00:33:16I won't disappoint
00:33:17your majesty's trust.
00:33:21Moses is still young.
00:33:22I'm only trusting
00:33:24with him
00:33:24and the kingdom's future.
00:33:27I'll give it
00:33:28everything I have.
00:33:29The late king entrusted
00:33:30everything to me
00:33:31before he died.
00:33:32No matter what,
00:33:33I have to do
00:33:33last thing for Cade.
00:33:35Your majesty is wise.
00:33:36Before I leave,
00:33:38there are three things
00:33:39I beg you to remember.
00:33:41Interesting.
00:33:42So even you have
00:33:43something to beg me for now.
00:33:44First,
00:33:45Cade has suffered
00:33:46through years of war.
00:33:48The people are exhausted.
00:33:49Lower the taxes
00:33:50and don't burden them
00:33:51any further.
00:33:53I already know that.
00:33:54Second,
00:33:55the northern cities
00:33:56were only recently subdued.
00:33:58Morrill and his men
00:33:58are fierce and proud.
00:34:00While I was here,
00:34:00I could keep them loyal.
00:34:02Please treat them
00:34:02with mercy and respect.
00:34:04If you push them too hard,
00:34:05they will rebel
00:34:05which will bring disaster
00:34:06to the kingdom.
00:34:15Lord Moriak!
00:34:16Unstoppable!
00:34:18One man against 10,000!
00:34:22Don't worry.
00:34:23Irene is the truly gifted one
00:34:25in Cade.
00:34:25She's far more capable
00:34:27than you ever were.
00:34:28Third,
00:34:29never trust the Orc Empire.
00:34:31Gromash and his court
00:34:32are brutal by nature.
00:34:34Never lower your guard
00:34:35around them.
00:34:37Finished, that's all.
00:34:38Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:40Don't underestimate
00:34:41these three rules.
00:34:43If you can truly follow them,
00:34:45Cade will be in peace
00:34:46for a hundred years.
00:34:48Hera,
00:34:49stop pretending
00:34:49to be so loyal.
00:34:50You disgust me.
00:34:52Every word I said
00:34:53came from my heart.
00:34:54Listen carefully!
00:34:55This kingdom won't stop
00:34:56without you.
00:34:56No, Cade will even become
00:34:57stronger than before.
00:34:58That's good.
00:34:59May Cade kingdom prosper
00:35:01and may my king
00:35:02be safe and well.
00:35:03Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cain away
00:35:08and treat his injuries
00:35:09immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:13Your majesty.
00:35:35Why are you here?
00:35:36The moment you left,
00:35:38all three of us
00:35:39were stripped
00:35:40of military command.
00:35:41We refused to continue
00:35:43serving that damned king.
00:35:45We suffered endless
00:35:46humiliation in the royal court.
00:35:48We would rather follow you,
00:35:50even if it means
00:35:50doing the roughest labor.
00:35:52Lady Hera,
00:35:53please don't leave.
00:35:54Cade cannot survive
00:35:55without you.
00:35:56You gave everything
00:35:57for Cade.
00:35:58We can't let you leave
00:35:59like this.
00:36:00Everything is settled.
00:36:02I have nothing left
00:36:02to stay for.
00:36:03I only wish to lay down
00:36:05my burdens
00:36:05and live a few peaceful years.
00:36:07During your years in power,
00:36:09you did so much for us.
00:36:11Now traitorous dimensions
00:36:12drive away a loyal hero.
00:36:14We refuse to accept it.
00:36:17The royal court
00:36:19has wronged
00:36:19its greatest protector.
00:36:21That's right!
00:36:22All gatherings
00:36:23must come to an end
00:36:24someday.
00:36:26Everyone,
00:36:26please go home.
00:36:28Don't make things
00:36:28harder for Hera.
00:36:34May your road ahead
00:36:35be safe,
00:36:36my lady.
00:36:37May the rest of your life
00:36:39be peaceful
00:36:40and stable.
00:36:52You saw it
00:36:53with your own eyes.
00:36:54The people of this land
00:36:55recognize only Hera
00:36:56and their hearts,
00:36:57not the royal family.
00:36:58I will accomplish
00:36:59great deeds
00:36:59for the world to see.
00:37:01I'll make Hera
00:37:02understand
00:37:02who truly deserves
00:37:04to rule Cade.
00:37:05Your majesty,
00:37:06I have a brilliant plan
00:37:07that will secure
00:37:08your throne quickly
00:37:09and elevate your prestige
00:37:10far above Hera's.
00:37:11Speak!
00:37:12What plan?
00:37:13Though Hera is gone,
00:37:15her influence
00:37:15within the court
00:37:16still remains.
00:37:17Your majesty
00:37:18should dismiss
00:37:19every official
00:37:20connected to her
00:37:21and replace them all
00:37:22with people
00:37:22loyal only to you
00:37:23and you must win
00:37:24over the nobles
00:37:25and ministers
00:37:25by increasing
00:37:26their salaries
00:37:26and privileges.
00:37:28Only when those
00:37:28in power benefit
00:37:29from your rule
00:37:30will they truly
00:37:30devote themselves
00:37:31to you.
00:37:32Only then
00:37:33will Cade
00:37:33truly belong to you.
00:37:36But the royal treasury
00:37:37has long been emptied.
00:37:39We simply don't have
00:37:40the money
00:37:40for increased rewards.
00:37:43Then raise
00:37:44the taxes.
00:37:45But before Hera left,
00:37:47she repeatedly warned me
00:37:48never to raise taxes.
00:37:49Keep the people
00:37:50to live peacefully.
00:37:51You are mistaken.
00:37:53To secure royal authority,
00:37:54you must first secure
00:37:55the loyalty of those
00:37:56who hold power around you.
00:37:57Only when officials
00:37:58profit from your rule
00:37:59will they truly obey you.
00:38:01Hera wasn't protecting
00:38:02the people
00:38:02by opposing higher taxes.
00:38:04She was deliberately
00:38:05holding you back
00:38:06so you could never
00:38:07truly secure your throne.
00:38:08You mustn't fall
00:38:09for her tricks.
00:38:11What a scheming woman.
00:38:13Even after leaving,
00:38:14she's still plotting
00:38:15against me.
00:38:17As you said,
00:38:19deliver my order
00:38:20at once.
00:38:21Raise the taxes.
00:38:24Your majesty,
00:38:25as minister of agriculture,
00:38:27I present three treasures.
00:38:29Superior wheat seeds,
00:38:31fertile soil fertilizer,
00:38:32and gilded farming sepuls.
00:38:34May Cade enjoy
00:38:35endless harvests,
00:38:36overflowing granaries,
00:38:37and freedom from famine
00:38:38forever.
00:38:39Excellent.
00:38:40Truly excellent.
00:38:41Cade is fortunate
00:38:42to have such a devoted
00:38:43official as you.
00:38:44I oversee the kingdom's
00:38:46military affairs
00:38:47and offer the Blacksteel
00:38:48Command Seal,
00:38:49the Lionheart Battle Armor,
00:38:51and the Hundred War Bone.
00:38:53May Cade Cavalry become
00:38:54invincible and all
00:38:55neighboring lands
00:38:56submit before us.
00:38:57Well done.
00:38:58That's Irene's brother.
00:39:00You've forged Cade Army
00:39:01into such a powerful force.
00:39:03With you there,
00:39:05our borders will remain
00:39:06secure forever.
00:39:07I present the star crystal
00:39:08stepter,
00:39:09the deep sea pearl crown,
00:39:11and the holy light
00:39:12blessing scroll.
00:39:14May your majesty's glory
00:39:15shake the world,
00:39:17win the sincere loyalty
00:39:18of all people,
00:39:19and secure your supreme
00:39:20royal authority forever.
00:39:23Long live King Moses.
00:39:25May Cade resign forever.
00:39:28Ever since Irene began
00:39:30assisting me in governing
00:39:31the kingdom,
00:39:32Cade has grown stronger
00:39:33every time.
00:39:35The people live peacefully,
00:39:36and the court stands united.
00:39:39This is true prosperity.
00:39:48The entire kingdom celebrates today,
00:39:51and every minister offers
00:39:53congratulations.
00:39:54Why are you sitting there
00:39:56in silence,
00:39:56without the slightest smile?
00:40:03Congratulations,
00:40:04your majesty.
00:40:05Are you still unwilling
00:40:06to accept it,
00:40:07thinking that without Hera,
00:40:09Cade could never maintain
00:40:10its essence glory?
00:40:11I didn't think so.
00:40:13Let's stop talking this.
00:40:14Even if Hera possessed
00:40:15some ability,
00:40:16how could she possibly compare
00:40:18to Irene's wisdom
00:40:19and strategy?
00:40:20Your majesty,
00:40:22enough!
00:40:23You still side with her
00:40:24in your heart!
00:40:25I would truly like
00:40:27to see Hera's expression
00:40:28when she realizes
00:40:29Cade remains prosperous
00:40:30even without her.
00:40:31Prosperous?
00:40:32The taxes are crushing
00:40:33the people until they
00:40:34can barely breathe.
00:40:35Citizens are displaced,
00:40:36suffering miserably everywhere.
00:40:38And you call this prosperous?
00:40:46The taxes are due!
00:40:48How dare you delay payment?
00:40:49If you still refuse
00:40:50spare money to pay,
00:40:51I'll whip you to death!
00:40:53Sir,
00:40:53this year's harvest
00:40:54completely failed.
00:40:56The taxes are far too heavy,
00:40:58we truly can't afford to pay.
00:40:59You have no choice!
00:41:01This is the king's command!
00:41:03Anyone who resists taxation
00:41:04will be executed
00:41:06on the spot!
00:41:07How dare you speak
00:41:08such nonsense here!
00:41:10Cade is peaceful
00:41:11and prosperous today
00:41:12entirely because
00:41:13of his majesty.
00:41:14Raising taxes slightly
00:41:15is what made this
00:41:16grand banquet
00:41:17and this stability possible.
00:41:19What is wrong with that?
00:41:20Before Hera left,
00:41:22she repeatedly warned
00:41:23that taxes must never be raised.
00:41:25The people needed
00:41:26time to recover.
00:41:28You promised her that.
00:41:30Shut up!
00:41:32Hera has no right
00:41:33to lecture me
00:41:33on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:34If you refuse to listen
00:41:36to honest counsel
00:41:37and remain this stubborn,
00:41:39then I have nothing
00:41:39left to say.
00:41:41Insolence!
00:41:41Since you despise
00:41:43everything here so much,
00:41:44then get out!
00:41:45Go to the far north
00:41:46and never back again!
00:41:47Your majesty,
00:41:49please don't!
00:41:50The far north borders
00:41:51the orc territories.
00:41:53If Prince Cain goes there,
00:41:54he will certainly die.
00:41:56How is that possible?
00:41:58Aren't Blackstone City
00:41:59and Frostwave City
00:42:00still standing between them?
00:42:01Those two cities
00:42:03have already...
00:42:05Already what?
00:42:06Speak!
00:42:07They have already been
00:42:08ceded by Lady Irene
00:42:09to the orc empire
00:42:10of the Gromish royal court.
00:42:12Your majesty,
00:42:13those two cities
00:42:14were nothing but
00:42:14barren wastelands.
00:42:15I made the decision
00:42:16to precede them
00:42:17in exchange for peace
00:42:17along the borders.
00:42:19They're only two
00:42:19worthless cities.
00:42:20Then that's it,
00:42:21not a great deal.
00:42:30This little beauty
00:42:32looks good!
00:42:33Take her with us!
00:42:36Let me go!
00:42:38Let me go!
00:42:41You beast!
00:42:43Let go of my daughter!
00:42:45Ah!
00:42:49With the king
00:42:50being this foolish,
00:42:52Cade will fall.
00:42:54Apologize to me now
00:42:55and I'll let you
00:42:56stay in the royal city.
00:42:57Spare you from suffering
00:42:59in the far north.
00:43:00There's no need.
00:43:01I'll leave at once.
00:43:02You would rather die
00:43:03than remain by my side?
00:43:05Yes.
00:43:06There is no hope
00:43:07left here.
00:43:08My heart has long
00:43:10since died.
00:43:11I'm leaving now.
00:43:15Report!
00:43:16A devastating locust playing
00:43:17has erupted in
00:43:18Gale Wind City.
00:43:19The crops have all
00:43:19been devoured
00:43:20and countless civilians
00:43:21are starving to death.
00:43:29Get it moving!
00:43:31Get it fucking!
00:43:32Get it fucking!
00:43:36Your majesty!
00:43:38Silvermean City's been hit
00:43:39by the worst flood
00:43:40in a hundred years.
00:43:41The dam collapsed.
00:43:42The farmlands are gone.
00:43:43The farmlands are gone.
00:44:14I just got word myself there was no time to report it sooner.
00:44:17Lies!
00:44:18You still dare make excuses.
00:44:20Guards, 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.
00:44:38Fine.
00:44:38If the disasters are real, then it's simple.
00:44:40Open the treasury.
00:44:41Send food and gold.
00:44:42The 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, Fankway, just to keep the palace running.
00:44:54But now?
00:44:55No!
00:44:56That's impossible!
00:44:58We just collected taxes not long ago.
00:45:00How could the treasury be empty?
00:45:01The money's already gone, Your Majesty.
00:45:03The ceremonies, the banquets, palace renovations, rewards for your favourites.
00:45:08Nothing left.
00:45:09First, Kade has suffered through years of war.
00:45:13The people are exhausted.
00:45:15Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:45:18I already know that.
00:45:20Was I really wrong?
00:45:22No.
00:45:23I'm the king.
00:45:25Kings don't make mistakes.
00:45:27Irene!
00:45:28Think of something.
00:45:30We have to keep this under control no matter what.
00:45:33There's only one way left.
00:45:35Raise taxes again.
00:45:37Let the people suffer a little longer.
00:45:38And we survive this crisis.
00:45:57Hera...
00:45:57If Hera were here, none of this would have happened.
00:46:03It's been six months.
00:46:05Why won't you come back?
00:46:07Why can't you forgive me?
00:46:11You need to learn this properly.
00:46:13This is what keeps a kingdom standing.
00:46:15But you're already amazing at running the kingdom.
00:46:18We promised we'd be together forever.
00:46:20And I listen to everything you say anyway.
00:46:23Isn't that enough?
00:46:27It's all my fault.
00:46:28I should have listened to you.
00:46:30Didn't we promise we'd never leave each other?
00:46:32Then why aren't you here?
00:46:33Why?
00:46:34Kade's falling apart now.
00:46:36Disasters everywhere.
00:46:37People are suffering.
00:46:39Hera, are you really going to stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:43Hera...
00:46:43I miss you.
00:46:45Please come back.
00:46:47Please save Kade.
00:46:49Save me.
00:46:57The king keeps squeezing the people dry.
00:46:59Now we've got locusts and floods back to back.
00:47:03The people can't survive like this.
00:47:05The king doubted you, humiliated you, and tried to kill you back then.
00:47:09You can't seriously go back and save him.
00:47:11Exactly.
00:47:12That royal family destroyed you.
00:47:14Why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you?
00:47:18But...
00:47:18The people are suffering.
00:47:25Hera!
00:47:26Why?
00:47:28Why are you here?
00:47:33Your hands.
00:47:34What happened to them?
00:47:37It's usual to have these calluses.
00:47:39But you're a prince.
00:47:41Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:43I don't know.
00:47:45My brother...
00:47:46Banished me.
00:47:51So 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.
00:47:57I'm also the late king's son.
00:47:59And I've admired you for long.
00:48:00Can I...
00:48:03The northern beast threat still isn't over.
00:48:06The kingdom's in chaos.
00:48:07I'm not thinking about love right now.
00:48:09I see.
00:48:11But I'd ask you a very great favor.
00:48:13Right now Irene controls everything.
00:48:15Taxes are crushing the people.
00:48:17And she already handed over two northern fortresses to the Gromish crown.
00:48:20The kingdom's falling apart.
00:48:21Hera, please.
00:48:23Come back and save Cade's people.
00:48:25If that's the case, then for the sake of the people, I'll go back one more time.
00:48:30That's great.
00:48:31Things are already at the breaking point.
00:48:33We need a plan immediately.
00:48:35The situation isn't hopeless yet.
00:48:38If we can provide food and money to calm the people, the crisis can still be contained.
00:48:43The only thing I'm worried about is...
00:48:45What's that?
00:48:46Morlock of the north.
00:48:47He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:48:49He can't be threatened, or if he's pushed too far, he'll rebel for sure.
00:48:53And once that happens, Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom.
00:48:56There will be no saving it then.
00:48:58Moses can't be that foolish.
00:49:00He already made one mistake raising taxes.
00:49:02Surely he won't make another.
00:49:03I hope not.
00:49:06Your Majesty!
00:49:07General Morlock of the north is outside requesting an immediate audience!
00:49:10Morlock.
00:49:11Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:14He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:49:16If pushed him too hard, he'll rebel.
00:49:18Pass down my order.
00:49:20Prepare the best wine and food.
00:49:22Welcome, General Morlock, with the highest honors.
00:49:27Your Majesty, please don't!
00:49:29The treasury's already empty!
00:49:30Every coin matters right now!
00:49:33Morlock's nothing more than a surrendered general.
00:49:35He doesn't deserve the honors.
00:49:37Some ordinary food is more than enough.
00:49:39And he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people.
00:49:43But we can't lower taxes anymore.
00:49:47Leave this to me, Your Majesty.
00:49:49I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:51But Hera warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:55What you do could cause real trouble.
00:49:57You worry too much, Your Majesty.
00:49:59Men like him only understand strength.
00:50:04Leave everything to me.
00:50:05Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:12Your Majesty.
00:50:14I'm Morak.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty?
00:50:17Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were.
00:50:19This Morlock may look intimidating, but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere else to go.
00:50:25Fine.
00:50:25Get up and speak.
00:50:29Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:30You've traveled a long way here, must be exhausted.
00:50:33The journey means nothing.
00:50:34But today, in front of both you and the Grand Marshal, I need an answer.
00:50:39Huh?
00:50:40Go 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.
00:50:50And 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!
00:51:09Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:11We swore loyalty to Cade because we believed in Hera's honor.
00:51:14But you've broken every promise she made.
00:51:17What explanation do you have for the Northern soldiers and citizens?
00:51:22How dare you?
00:51:24Are you openly questioning the Royal Court now?
00:51:27Or are you trying to challenge the King's authority?
00:51:30I've never questioned the Royal.
00:51:32I only ask for justice for my people.
00:51:36Royal policy is decided by the Court, not by border warriors like you.
00:51:41Your only job is to control your territory, keep the border stable, and obey orders.
00:51:46And you can't even manage that.
00:51:48Yet you still dare bark at the King?
00:51:51A surrendered brute like you, dares act arrogant in the Royal Hall?
00:51:56Who the hell do you think you are?
00:51:58Know your place, loser.
00:52:00The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate, so stay there and wag your tail.
00:52:05Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:07You're nothing but a poor thing the Royal took in out of pity.
00:52:10We fed you, and you should have stayed grateful and obedient.
00:52:15Dare you disrespect your majesty and me?
00:52:17You deserve nothing.
00:52:19And that precious Hera you worship so much?
00:52:22She's nothing but a discarded failure the King threw away.
00:52:26A stray dog driven out of the palace.
00:52:28And my defeated loser.
00:52:30And my defeated loser.
00:52:32You bitch!
00:52:34How dare you insult Hera!
00:52:36You filthy little snake!
00:52:39For saying that alone, you deserve to die!
00:52:47Morlach!
00:52:48Are you insane?
00:52:49What the hell are you doing?
00:52:51I...
00:52:52I'm the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom!
00:52:55You're the Grand Marshal?
00:52:57That's right!
00:52:58Lay one finger on me and you'll be guilty of treason!
00:53:01The Grand Marshal is a useless, poisonous rat like you.
00:53:04Then Cade truly is finished!
00:53:06Morlach!
00:53:06How dare you!
00:53:07Let Eren go right now!
00:53:08Now!
00:53:09Hera once praised you, a wise king carrying the people.
00:53:11But 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!
00:53:18How dare you insult the King!
00:53:19Go to hell!
00:53:25Nobody move!
00:53:26Whoever takes one more step, I slip her throat right here!
00:53:30No mercy!
00:53:31Back off!
00:53:31All of you!
00:53:32Back off!
00:53:33Don't come near me, please!
00:53:35Why things become this bad?
00:53:37When Hera was here, everything's going well.
00:53:39Everyone!
00:53:40Move back immediately!
00:53:42Get to the sides!
00:53:43Your Majesty, you cannot let him leave alive.
00:53:47Morlach is too dangerous.
00:53:48If he escapes the palace today, he must raise an army and rebel.
00:53:52I beg you to execute him now and end this threat once and for all.
00:53:57Listen carefully.
00:53:58If anyone attacks me now, I'll drag Eren straight to hell with me.
00:54:02Your Majesty, save me!
00:54:03Don't listen to him!
00:54:04Lord Morlach, I'll give you money, land, power, anything you want.
00:54:08Just don't kill me!
00:54:08A coward like you actually sits in power?
00:54:11You're rotten to the bone!
00:54:13Your Majesty!
00:54:14Sacrificing Eren in exchange for killing Morlach would secure the kingdom for generations!
00:54:19For the sake of all caged people, you must not let him go!
00:54:22We beg your Majesty to abandon Eren!
00:54:25Kill 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.
00:54:39Come on, try the food I made for you.
00:54:41You made all this yourself?
00:54:43Sure.
00:54:44This camp barely has supplies.
00:54:45If I had proper ingredients, I could make you a real feast.
00:54:48This is already more than enough.
00:54:50Thank you, my dear Cain.
00:54:53My Lady!
00:54:54Urgent military report!
00:54:55Urgent situation!
00:55:00What happened?
00:55:02Our scouts confirmed that Moravac openly turned against King Moses and Irene in the Royal Council Hall.
00:55:09The confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred.
00:55:11God!
00:55:12Morlach's temper is terrifying.
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.
00:55:20If Moses had executed him on the spot to stop him returning the North, this rebellion could still have been
00:55:25prevented.
00:55:26But the King chose to save Irene instead.
00:55:28He ordered the guards to stand down and allowed Morlach to leave for the North safely.
00:55:33No, that's bad.
00:55:35A lot of innocent people are going to die now.
00:55:41You ungrateful traitor!
00:55:43The King spared your life out of mercy because of your past service.
00:55:47And this is how you repay him.
00:55:48The second you return North, you gather an army and openly rebel against the Crown.
00:55:52That's treason!
00:55:53So you're Irene's loser brother.
00:55:55Makes sense.
00:55:56As arrogant and useless as she is.
00:55:58Believe me, I could flatten this city in a second and cut off your head as my wine cup.
00:56:02Then open your damn eyes and look around.
00:56:04Our walls are unbreakable.
00:56:06Our food supplies are full and our soldiers are elite fighters.
00:56:08Even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here, you still won't touch these walls.
00:56:12Back when Hera guarded this kingdom, I might honor the court without crossing the line.
00:56:20Grand Marshal Hera!
00:56:21No need for formalities.
00:56:23I know you're loyal and honorable.
00:56:25Everything that happened before wasn't truly your choice.
00:56:28I will honor every single promise I made.
00:56:31To lower taxes, care for the soldiers and bring peace to the North.
00:56:35I swear it.
00:56:36But look at the kingdom now!
00:56:37A righteous leader like Hera was framed, humiliated, and driven out by corrupt cowards like you.
00:56:43I didn't raise this army for power.
00:56:45I'm fighting for Hera's honor.
00:56:47For justice for the suffering people of the North.
00:56:51North soldiers!
00:56:52Charge!
00:56:53Break Stonehold City!
00:56:55Fight for Hera's name!
00:56:57For peace of North!
00:57:00All soldiers!
00:57:02Rain arrows!
00:57:03Drop the boulders!
00:57:04Crush these traitors into pieces!
00:57:08Fire!
00:57:09Fire!
00:57:17Fire!
00:57:19Fire!
00:57:21Karen!
00:57:22Get the catapult ready!
00:57:24Launch me onto the wall!
00:57:26Release it!
00:57:27Full power!
00:57:37Stop him! Stop the monster!
00:57:40Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:53Look carefully! Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner! Nobody here can save him!
00:58:01I know exactly who most of you are. You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield.
00:58:07Now she's been framed and driven out by corrupt cowards. You feel nothing? No anger? No shame?
00:58:16I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom, but to restore Hera's honor. To make people of the
00:58:22north live in peace again.
00:58:25Throw down your weapons and surrender. I swear on my life as a warrior, no harm will come to you.
00:58:31You tell the truth! You fight with honor and righteousness! We're born to protect our homeland, not to die for
00:58:37Irene! I surrender willingly!
00:58:39We surrender! From now on, we're willing to follow you and restore justice for Hera!
00:58:45Your Majesty, thank you for giving me a second chance. I swear on my life, I'll devote everything to you
00:58:52forever. 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!
00:59:05Your Majesty, please calm down and think carefully about this. It's weird! Morlock kept mentioning Hera over and over again.
00:59:12If 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?
00:59:20Think about it, Your Majesty. She once controlled the entire kingdom's military power, stood above everyone. After being stripped of
00:59:26everything and exiled, how could she possibly accept that?
00:59:29That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace. It seems like I was the target, but in reality, she's
00:59:35humiliating the royal and attacking your authority, and shaking your throne step by step.
00:59:40Damn her.
01:00:09Don't panic, Your Majesty.
01:00:11Your Majesty, I've already prepared for this. My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City, the only path from the north
01:00:16to the capital. Its defenses are impenetrable, and the supplies are abundant. As long as Stonehold stands, Morak will never
01:00:22reach the capital city. And my brother's a battle-hard in general. Morlock may be strong, but he's just a
01:00:29brute. There's no way he can break through the defenses. You can rest easy, Your Majesty.
01:00:36Your Majesty. Terrible news from the front lines. Morak's army has completely captured Stonehold City. General Fulton had his neck
01:00:45crushed by Morak.
01:00:52No. That's impossible. My brothers fought in countless battles. Stonehold City was supposed to be impressible. How could it fall
01:01:00so fast? How could he die?
01:01:03Enough, Irene. All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans. Now Morak's army has broken
01:01:09through the north and is marching straight for the capital. Tell me, at this point, is there even a way
01:01:14to turn this around?
01:01:19Your Majesty. Please calm your anger. I have one final plan that can save the kingdom from destruction.
01:01:27Then spit it out. Now.
01:01:29The soldiers in capital are too weak to stop Morak's hundred thousand elite riders. The only option is to send
01:01:36envoys to the Orkin Empire. Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion.
01:01:44Absolutely not. I will never agree to something this insane.
01:01:48Your Majesty. Remember my final warning. Never forget it. The Orcs are savage by nature. Bloodthirsty and ambitious. They've always
01:01:59coveted the rich lands of Cade. They can never be trusted.
01:02:02I have never forgotten Hera's warning. The Orcs are greedy wolves. Allying with them would be suicidal. It could destroy
01:02:10Cade.
01:02:12Your Majesty. This is no time to hesitate. Mordek's army is launching straight for us. He wants your throne. The
01:02:18Orcs only want gold, food, and a small piece of border territory.
01:02:22If paying that price protects 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.
01:02:31Rest easy, Your Majesty. I'll send trusted envoys to the Orc Empire tonight to secure the Alliance and get their
01:02:37army as fast as possible.
01:02:54Marshal Hera, the undefeated goddess of war.
01:02:57Your Majesty. You're finally here. I've waited day and night for this moment. You have no idea how those snakes
01:03:02in the royal court slandered you, humiliated you, and trampled all over 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. King's blind and Irene controls the
01:03:13court. I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:16But 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. I'll personally return to
01:03:27the 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.
01:03:37Marshal Hera, I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either. I'll follow every order you give without question.
01:03:46My ministers! Morlach has completely taken Stonehold City. His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now. So
01:03:54does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing. You talk endlessly like genius every day. But now that the kingdom's collapsing, suddenly everyone's silent? Where is my
01:04:05royal guard? Why is there not been one soldier here to protect me?
01:04:09Your majesty. Your majesty. The royal family has already lost the people's support completely. Disasters spread across the kingdom, but
01:04:16the court failed to help the citizens. Then taxes kept rising again and again. The people's anger has reached its
01:04:21limit. At this point, the royal guard exists in name alone.
01:04:27The orcs are probably still days away. There's no army and no general left in the capital. If Morlach attacks
01:04:32now, my throne, my life, my everything are gone.
01:04:37Urgent military report, your majesty. Speak! What happened? Morlach's hundred thousand man army has completely withdrawn.
01:04:46What? They retreated. Why would they suddenly pull back without reasons?
01:04:51I couldn't uncover the reason, your majesty. But I personally saw the entire army break camp and retreat over a
01:04:57hundred miles north.
01:05:01Your majesty, your majesty. Isn't the answer obvious? My strategy worked perfectly. Just the threat of my preparations alone terrified
01:05:11Morlach so badly that he fled without even fighting.
01:05:18Then would you explain what strategy scared away a hundred thousand elite soldiers overnight?
01:05:24I secretly sent trusted envoys to the orc emperor long ago. The alliance has already been secured. Their elite reinforcements
01:05:33are on the way to the capital as we speak.
01:05:35Morlach must have learned about it and realizes he could never defeat our combined forces.
01:05:39So that's why! Irene's brilliant strategy intimidated the rebels and forced back a hundred thousand enemy troops without sacrificing a
01:05:47single soldier from the capital.
01:05:49Irene, you are the kingdom's greatest killer. My most trusted minister.
01:05:54Your majesty, please reconsider. You cannot make this mistake. It's killing ourselves. They are long coveting our lands.
01:06:00Even the late king personally led the campaign against them and died on the battlefield. That blood feed hasn't been
01:06:05settled.
01:06:06How can you bow your head to our greatest enemy and invite them into our kingdom? You're condemning cave to
01:06:11destruction with your own hands.
01:06:12Your majesty, think carefully. The orcs are cruel by nature. Once they crosses our borders, every town in their path
01:06:19will be burnt and looted. Countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered. The people of Cade will be dragged straight into
01:06:25hell.
01:06:27Is the man on the wall, General Garrick? Open the gate immediately.
01:06:32Your king Moses ordered 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.
01:06:47I need to verify the royal decree myself before opening the gates.
01:06:52How dare you! You're just a gate commander! And you dare disobey your king's orders?
01:06:59Delaying military business alone is a reason for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:06General! General! General! Urgent news from the front lines! Morlach's entire army has already withdrawn!
01:07:13The capital's no longer under threat.
01:07:15Commander Gromge, I've received confirmed military reports.
01:07:20The rebels already retreated north. Your mission here is over.
01:07:24Take your army and return to the old empire immediately!
01:07:28No remain near the capital!
01:07:32You think I marched all this way for nothing?
01:07:35Don't be ridiculous!
01:07:37Warriors attack the city!
01:07:39Burn this capital to the ground!
01:07:41Take whatever you want!
01:07:43Gold, food, treasures, women!
01:07:45Everything inside belongs to you!
01:07:47Show no mercy!
01:07:48All troops prepare for battle!
01:07:50Archers! Fire!
01:07:52Drop the stones!
01:07:54Pour the oil!
01:07:55Hold the gates!
01:08:00You savage beast!
01:08:03Never trample the capital of Kadei!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want!
01:08:24Take! Enter the city!
01:08:26Loot everything!
01:08:27Burn everything!
01:08:29Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want!
01:08:32Tonight, we feast!
01:08:40Sergeant!
01:08:41Your Majesty!
01:08:42Gromge has forcibly breached the main gate!
01:08:44General Garrick, who is defending the capital, has fallen in battle!
01:08:46He died fighting to the end!
01:08:50No, no!
01:08:52That's impossible!
01:08:54He died fighting to the end!
01:08:57He died fighting to the end!
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?
01:09:08It's true, Your Majesty!
01:09:10I saw it with my own eyes!
01:09:12General Garrick fought Grom Shalom, and never backed down until the final blow from the axe
01:09:16struck him down on the city wall!
01:09:17The orc army is advancing at full speed!
01:09:20The orc army is advancing at full speed!
01:09:20Within half a day, they will reach the palace gates!
01:09:26It's the end!
01:09:27The capital is gone!
01:09:29Who can protect me?
01:09:30Who can save Cade?
01:09:33I don't want to die by those monsters!
01:09:35Your Majesty!
01:09:36The capital has fallen into chaos!
01:09:37Our defenses are collapsing!
01:09:38Our soldiers are dead on the battlefield!
01:09:40And innocent pavilions are being slaughtered!
01:09:42We're caused by Irene!
01:09:43She invited orc forces into our land!
01:09:45She dragged the entire kingdom into hell!
01:09:47She must be executed immediately!
01:09:48Only her death can crime the people's rage!
01:09:51Execute, Irene!
01:09:52Pay for the capital with her life!
01:09:58Your Majesty, please believe me!
01:10:00I never betrayed the kingdom!
01:10:01I only wanted to use the foreign to stabilize the situation and protect you!
01:10:05I am loyal to you!
01:10:07I was misled!
01:10:08I never intended this outcome!
01:10:10Irene!
01:10:11You're nothing but a dirty liar!
01:10:13You deceived the king!
01:10:14You pushed out loyal medicines!
01:10:16You brought foreign beasts into our homeland to slaughter our people!
01:10:20Your crimes are unforgivable!
01:10:22I will end you myself!
01:10:24Ah!
01:10:25Your Majesty!
01:10:26Save me!
01:10:27Stop him!
01:10:28Don't kill me!
01:10:28I'm still useful!
01:10:34Please!
01:10:35Your Majesty!
01:10:37Spare me!
01:10:38I can still help you!
01:10:40I can serve you with my own...
01:10:42Irene!
01:10:42There's no way out anymore!
01:10:44The kingdom has reached its end!
01:10:47Only your death can calm everyone's rage!
01:10:50Only then will I have the face to beg Hera to return!
01:10:53Right now she is the only one who can save Cade!
01:10:57Byron!
01:10:58Give me the sword!
01:11:01Your Majesty! What are you doing?
01:11:03No, please!
01:11:03Spare me!
01:11:04I'm loyal to you!
01:11:05I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom!
01:11:08I regret it!
01:11:09I regret ever listening to you!
01:11:11No!
01:11:12Please!
01:11:13I was wrong!
01:11:15I fed you!
