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.
00:00:53Excuse me, do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:57Please, 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!
00:01:43Childs! Childs! Where are this boy's parents?
00:01:50This is... formed from ice magic.
00:01:55He carries a talent for ice magic. A skill that hasn't appeared in 300 years.
00:02:07Ethan, I got you your cake!
00:02:10Ethan! Ethan!
00:02:13Ethan! Ethan!
00:02:16Have you seen Ethan? Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:20Ethan! My son!
00:02:34Doctor, the boy.
00:02:35The injuries are severe. You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:39Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:42Open the portal!
00:02:43Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:53The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan! My soul!
00:03:10Desperate joy.
00:03:13Sean!ита!
00:03:30Desperate
00:03:31And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:53I swear it.
00:04:21To be continued.
00:04:45To be continued...
00:05:01You're the greatest mage in the kingdom. From this day forward, you are the new Grand Commander of the Legion.
00:05:07Father, the Legion is in good hands. Please, go and rest.
00:05:14This is the construction plan for the Frost Village training camp. Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:22But I worry about you.
00:05:24Go. Frost Village is your home. This one's hung around your neck. Forgive me, child.
00:05:30All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom. Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:36Go now. Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday. Father and I had it made into a pendant, just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:55Ethan, where are you? I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy! Wonderful news! The most wonderful news!
00:06:05Victor! Is it Ethan? Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:12Ethan?
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.
00:06:20All 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.
00:06:31They're tearing down our house?
00:06:33That's right.
00:06:38No, we can't. If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to. I have to go
00:06:44back and protect it.
00:06:54Welcome, Commander!
00:06:56Commander, the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete. There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction
00:07:02notice. Shall we... force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions. I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:24Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:36Auntie Lucy! What are you doing? The new Legion Commander is here! Put that thing away before you get me
00:07:42killed!
00:07:42Marcus, please!
00:07:44Your commander has surely met many people. Perhaps he's seen my Ethan. Let me just go and ask.
00:07:57Wake up! Your son is dead! Get out of my sight!
00:08:01No. Ethan isn't dead. He's not.
00:08:04Out of the way!
00:08:19Strange. The boy in this portrait looks just like I did as a child.
00:08:33Sam, my brother in arms. Let me handle this one alone. Commander Aldrich sent me to assist you. He believes
00:08:38Lord Garret, Governor of the Northern Territory, is trouble.
00:08:43Then find out where this plan came from. I'll arrange it at once. Wait here for my news. I'm going
00:08:48to Frost Village myself. Contact me the moment you have something.
00:08:51Understood. Portals won't do for the road ahead. Find me a carriage.
00:08:59Oh, my God.
00:09:24Mom, Mom.
00:09:26Father, Mother, are you here?
00:09:29It's been 20 years.
00:09:31Have you been all right?
00:09:33Ethan, today is your 25th birthday.
00:09:37Where are you?
00:09:39I miss you so much.
00:09:43Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:47Nothing yet, but Ethan turns 25 today.
00:09:50Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Maybe he's married by now.
00:09:58Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:01If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next.
00:10:04If not the next, until I search the whole world.
00:10:07Ethan is coming back.
00:10:09He will.
00:10:11Now, no more tears.
00:10:13Victor is coming today.
00:10:15They haven't visited in years.
00:10:17Why come today of all days on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:19Perhaps they miss him, too.
00:10:33Ethan.
00:10:36I have a pony.
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier.
00:10:41Ha!
00:10:42Ha ha ha.
00:10:52Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:05Commander, your disguise, as requested.
00:11:10Good.
00:11:10Exactly what I need to stay low.
00:11:14Where is the household that refused to sign the eviction notice?
00:11:17Commander, a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division claims to be their relative.
00:11:21He has volunteered to speak with them again.
00:11:25Fine.
00:11:26Let him try.
00:11:27I'll walk around.
00:11:28Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:31Garrett cannot be trusted.
00:11:33I need to see for myself.
00:11:43Mama!
00:11:45Mama!
00:11:46Mama!
00:11:48This place.
00:11:49It feels so familiar.
00:11:51I've been here before.
00:11:59Victor, welcome.
00:12:01Come in.
00:12:02Enough pleasanties.
00:12:03My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:06Sign this.
00:12:08Fifty gold coins, up front.
00:12:10No.
00:12:11This is Ethan's home.
00:12:13If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:16That's right.
00:12:17We stay and wait for our son.
00:12:21Fifty gold coins and you still won't sign?
00:12:23Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:26I don't want money.
00:12:28I want my son.
00:12:30Don't push your luck.
00:12:31Lucy!
00:12:32An ice crystal crest formed of magic?
00:12:37Where did you get this?
00:12:38Did you steal it?
00:12:39No!
00:12:39You can't take that.
00:12:40It's how I'll find my Ethan.
00:12:41Want the crest?
00:12:42Kneel and beg.
00:12:43Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:44You go too far!
00:12:48Thomas!
00:12:49Thomas!
00:12:51Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:05That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:08Please.
00:13:09Please.
00:13:11Look at her!
00:13:12She's actually kneeling for some boy who may be dead!
00:13:18Give it back.
00:13:21I'll give it back.
00:13:22Sign first.
00:13:27Come on.
00:13:31Could this be?
00:13:32Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:41No!
00:13:42I will not give up our home!
00:13:45Then I smash it.
00:13:47Stop!
00:13:48The crest is the only way Ethan will know me.
00:13:51If I lose it, I'll never find my son again.
00:13:55All right.
00:13:55I'll sign.
00:13:56Then crawl over here to do it.
00:14:03Good heavens!
00:14:05All that for a pathetic brat!
00:14:08What can she do?
00:14:09It's her only chance at finding that wretch.
00:14:14Now, give it back to me.
00:14:17Want it?
00:14:18Crawl over and beg.
00:14:31Please, give it back.
00:14:34I told you.
00:14:35Just sign the notice.
00:14:37Why make things hard?
00:14:39You promised.
00:14:41You defied me.
00:14:42You chose that cursed brat.
00:14:44This is the price.
00:14:45You will never see him.
00:14:47Never!
00:14:48No!
00:14:52I'll make sure you can never find that bastard.
00:14:55Not for the rest of your life.
00:15:03That pattern.
00:15:05Still defying me?
00:15:06Then die!
00:15:07Shut up!
00:15:24What a dramatic entrance.
00:15:26It's just a grimy blacksmith.
00:15:28Mind your own business or I'll beat you too.
00:15:30You'd strike someone?
00:15:32Bold of you.
00:15:34Legion code forbids the use of force against civilians.
00:15:37Did you forget every word of it?
00:15:39What does a blacksmith know about the law?
00:15:42What does a blacksmith know about the law?
00:15:54Wake up, Thomas.
00:15:55What do we do?
00:16:02Are you all right?
00:16:04I'm fine.
00:16:06Marcus was forcing me to sign the eviction notice.
00:16:08This man stopped him.
00:16:13So you clearly know Legion law.
00:16:16I beg you, help us further.
00:16:18That eviction notice was signed under duress.
00:16:21You signed it!
00:16:22No taking it back!
00:16:23Please, sir.
00:16:25We cannot lose this house.
00:16:27We have to stay and wait for our son.
00:16:30I will see that justice is done.
00:16:33You have my word.
00:16:41Could they really be?
00:16:44Where did you get that ice crystal crest?
00:16:47My son made it when he was young.
00:16:49The first time he ever used magic.
00:16:52He's been gone for 20 years.
00:16:55My father and I had it made into a pen just for you.
00:17:15Ethan.
00:17:17You're my Ethan.
00:17:20This isn't a dream.
00:17:27My son is home.
00:17:29Father, mother, I've been gone for so long.
00:17:31I've made you search so hard.
00:17:34Forgive me.
00:17:37As long as you're home, nothing else matters.
00:17:40Your brat is back.
00:17:42This isn't worth celebrating.
00:17:45Right.
00:17:46He's just a blacksmith who hammers plows.
00:17:51Today I am reunited with my parents.
00:17:53I will not let the likes of you ruin it.
00:17:55Get out.
00:17:56Big talk.
00:17:57Do you know who my son is?
00:17:59He's a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division of the Legion.
00:18:03A man with a future.
00:18:09You're in the Legion?
00:18:10Who is your superior?
00:18:13What's wrong?
00:18:14Never heard of Lord Garret?
00:18:16Governor of the Northern Territory?
00:18:18I suppose a backwell peasant like you wouldn't know your betters.
00:18:21Marcus was kind to even teach you Lord Garret's name.
00:18:23He's just a governor.
00:18:25One word from me and he'll come crawling.
00:18:31How dare you?
00:18:33Who do you think you are?
00:18:35Huh?
00:18:35Don't you know?
00:18:36Lord Garret runs this entire territory.
00:18:39What would a common blacksmith know?
00:18:41My son is strong.
00:18:43He belongs in the Legion.
00:18:44And Lord Garret pries him above all others.
00:18:46You ignorant fool.
00:18:48My beloved is Lord Garret's own confidant.
00:18:51Do you understand what that means?
00:18:53It means I can do whatever I want here.
00:18:58They hold no respect for the law.
00:19:00They treat the Legion's code like nothing.
00:19:03What do we do?
00:19:04We can't fight them.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06You can't!
00:19:08You are a Legion soldier.
00:19:10You were sworn to protect the people.
00:19:11Look at what you're doing.
00:19:12Protect them?
00:19:13Should we carry Loebron filth on our backs?
00:19:15What use are you?
00:19:16You bring nothing but shame to your parents.
00:19:18My Ethan is a fine man.
00:19:20Fine?
00:19:21A blacksmith's life is worth nothing.
00:19:23Ethan, beg us.
00:19:24Maybe Marcus can find you some work in the Legion.
00:19:27Beg you?
00:19:27You're not worth it.
00:19:29Don't get proud, Ethan.
00:19:31Kneel down and lick the mud off my boot.
00:19:34Do that, and I'll consider it.
00:19:36Oh, Marcus, how generous.
00:19:38Let me think.
00:19:39What works with you?
00:19:40Scrubbing latrins?
00:19:43You've gone far enough!
00:19:45Kneel and you get a job.
00:19:47We're not lying!
00:19:48Kneel before you.
00:19:50Not a chance.
00:19:53What is this blacksmith going on about?
00:19:56My son is captain of the Legion Honor Guard and deputy commander of the ceremonial escort.
00:20:01I have a dozen soldiers under me.
00:20:04Every one of them an elite fighter.
00:20:06We're only holding back because you're family.
00:20:09Count yourselves lucky.
00:20:10Marcus has too much power.
00:20:12We can't fight him.
00:20:13I won't let Ethan get hurt.
00:20:15Today is a good day.
00:20:16No more fighting.
00:20:17I've made sweet cakes and stew.
00:20:22Let us sit and eat.
00:20:24This slob?
00:20:25My pigs eat better than this.
00:20:26Father, they're hiding the good stuff somewhere.
00:20:30Move!
00:20:31Move!
00:20:33Move!
00:20:33Move!
00:20:34Move!
00:20:36Move!
00:20:37Move!
00:20:39Move!
00:20:39Move!
00:20:42Move!
00:20:43Move!
00:20:44Move!
00:20:45Move!
00:20:48Move!
00:20:51Move!
00:20:52Have birthday!
00:20:52Happy birthday, Ethan!
00:20:54Have birthday!
00:20:56Hehehehe!
00:20:57Hehehehe!
00:20:57Hehehehe!
00:20:58Hehehehe!
00:21:02Hehehehe!
00:21:04Hehehehe!
00:21:04Hehehehe!
00:21:04This is our son's birthday gift!
00:21:06Every year we prepare a birthday gift!
00:21:07Birthday gift?
00:21:08How pitiful.
00:21:09Give it back!
00:21:09Worthless old woman!
00:21:10Stop!
00:21:11Gutter trash!
00:21:12you. Get out! You are not welcome here! How dare you speak to me that way!
00:21:26Please don't crush it please I beg you! Kneel. Pick up every piece. Fix it. Then kneel
00:21:38and beg my parents for forgiveness. Refuse and I will make you pay back a hundredfold.
00:21:45Ethan, have you hammered your brain to scrap? This house is no longer yours. You're nothing
00:21:52but a pack of homeless strays. What the hell? Why is it suddenly so cold? Quaking in your
00:22:04boots old man? Worried your son's about to die? I'll say this once more. Kneel. Apologize.
00:22:11Now. Before you regret this. A threat? You don't scare me. Look at this. Cost me a hundred
00:22:17gold coins. This can summon a beast more powerful than any mage. You don't stand a chance.
00:22:23Count yourselves lucky to have this beast be the last thing you see.
00:22:27A Karin Bist summoning stone? Five copper bends at the legion supply depot.
00:22:31You paid a hundred gold for that trash? What a fool. How dare you? Think you'll survive
00:22:36this? Legion prohibition. Article 42. The unauthorized possession and summoning of aggressive beasts
00:22:41in civilian zirns is forbidden. Violation results in permanent discharge and life imprisonment.
00:22:46You quote the law at me? I am the law here! You're all lubon filth. Every last one of you
00:22:54could die and the legion wouldn't blink.
00:23:01Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:23:12What do we do? No. My Ethan is here. I will not retreat.
00:23:19Ethan, run!
00:23:24Don't be afraid, son. Your mother and I will hold it back. Just run.
00:23:30I won't leave you. Not when we just found each other.
00:23:37Child. To have you as the last thing I see is enough. I just wish I had the chance to
00:23:47watch you grow.
00:23:54Enough of this touching reunion. No one leaves here alive.
00:24:00Why weep over a blacksmith? He's worthless.
00:24:04Ethan, no matter who you've become, you are still your father's pride.
00:24:11Father. Mother. I promise you. No one will harm me today.
00:24:19Still boasting. Take him down!
00:24:58What's wrong with you? Attack!
00:25:13Where is it? Where did the beast go?
00:25:17Hey! You useless creature! Get out here! My hundred gold coins!
00:25:24Why? Doesn't nobody like him have magic?
00:25:30Impossible. Three hundred years and not one ice maid in the whole empire!
00:25:36How could such a long dead power appear in this wretch?
00:25:42I know what this is. Dark magic. Forbidden black magic!
00:25:47So that's where you've been all these years? Walking a cursed path?
00:25:52Ethan! You sold your soul for this filth? No! My son is not that kind of man!
00:26:00Stop making excuses. Your son is finished. Dark magic is punishable by death.
00:26:07My love. Come quickly. There's a heretic using black magic. Hurry!
00:26:12What? I'm on my way! Hear that? Sienna is coming. She's Lord Garret's own confidant.
00:26:21You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:37Who dares practice dark magic? The legion will not tolerate this.
00:26:44My love! You're here! This wretch killed my beast with magic! He tried to kill me!
00:26:52Someone laid a hand on my man in the Northern Territory. I'll make him pay.
00:26:59You're finished, Crossiana. And you crossed the entire Northern Legion.
00:27:05What are you smiling at? You think you're walking out of here alive?
00:27:09You're the one who hurt my man? Lowborn filth. I'll make sure you beg to die!
00:27:25Careful, my love. He disguises the black magic as ice magic to deceive people.
00:27:29There has been no Ice Macer in this kingdom for 300 years. And you thought you could fake it? Fool.
00:27:35Your ignorance only shows how low you rank in the Legion. You've never had access to the top.
00:27:40How dare you! Lord Garret himself says my word is law here! I have the power to execute filth like
00:27:47you!
00:27:49Is that what Lord Garret teaches you to do?
00:27:51You lowborn animal! How dare you speak his name so freely!
00:27:56Is he so great? Then I'll have him come to me right now.
00:28:04Garret, come. Now!
00:28:11Garret, come. Now!
00:28:14Garret, come. Now!
00:28:19Assemble the full guard! Move! With me!
00:28:24Practicing dark magic is a capital offense. Arrest them all! Take them to the dungeon. They face execution.
00:28:32Father, mother, don't be afraid. I'll protect you.
00:28:36Once they're dead, that 50 gold settlement is all ours!
00:28:44I can't fight here. I won't destroy the house. This is the home my parents guarded their whole lives.
00:28:50I'll go with you. But my parents stay.
00:28:53No! If you go with them, you'll die!
00:28:56Don't worry. We're your mother and father. We'll protect you. Ha! Lost your nerve? Where's all that big talk now?
00:29:03Fine. Those two old wrecks won't last much longer anyway.
00:29:13Father, mother. Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
00:29:18Ethan! Ethan!
00:29:20Honour his feteal devotion then. Trade your lives for his.
00:29:27Ethan!
00:29:28Ethan!
00:29:37Where is he? Tall, handsome, dressed in rough cloth and a leather apron. Where did he go?
00:29:41Your men took him. They said they were taking him to the wasteland for execution. Please save my son.
00:29:47Ex... execution?
00:29:52Execution?
00:29:57Thomas, what do we do?
00:29:58Don't panic. Remember? Ethan was betrothed as a child.
00:30:03You mean Isabella's family? They were as poor as us back then, but they've grown rich. Frost Village wealthiest family.
00:30:09They cut ties with us years ago.
00:30:11They're our last hope. Perhaps they will save Ethan for old times sake.
00:30:30Chose quite the place to die.
00:30:33Any last words?
00:30:41Ethan, kneel nicely and I might make it quick.
00:30:43And those fifty gold coins will be ours. Small comfort for what you did to my darling, but it'll do.
00:30:51My love, once we have that money, I'll buy you the most beautiful dresses. New shoes for my parents too.
00:31:01I warned you. Cross the Legion and you pay a price you cannot afford.
00:31:05What right do you have to speak for the Legion?
00:31:11Ethan, still boasting with death at your door.
00:31:18No. Death is at yours.
00:31:32What is it? You're falling for your own bluff!
00:31:37This fool actually thinks he's the Commander!
00:31:40The Commander? Have you ever even seen the Commander? Only someone of Lord Garret's rank would even qualify.
00:31:47Your rank is too low. You're not worthy.
00:31:50You vile creature!
00:31:54Scared now? Beg me and maybe I'll let you off.
00:31:58Is this all you can muster? You truly think this is enough?
00:32:01Gutter trash! There you go again with the big talk! Make him hurt!
00:32:09These soldiers are Legion elite. Any one of them could crush an ant like you.
00:32:18Rise!
00:32:24See that? Scared! Too late!
00:32:28Is that all you've got?
00:32:29Against you? More than enough!
00:32:32This level? I could put it out with a flick of my fingers.
00:32:35You arrogant wretch! I'll grind you to ash! Combine!
00:32:40You're doomed!
00:32:41You're doomed!
00:32:43You're doomed!
00:32:43You're doomed!
00:32:48You're doomed!
00:32:49How is this possible?
00:32:53This... this can't be!
00:32:55I can't move! Let go!
00:32:58Help!
00:33:00Stand down!
00:33:02All of you, stand down!
00:33:08Commander!
00:33:10Commander!
00:33:11Thank goodness you're here!
00:33:13Kill this madman!
00:33:15What is going on here?
00:33:17Commander!
00:33:18This lowborn wretch used dark magic and killed all my soldiers!
00:33:21Now he wants to kill me!
00:33:24Striking Sienna is the same as striking you, sir!
00:33:28This is a declaration of war!
00:33:30Lord Garret is here!
00:33:32You're doomed!
00:33:33Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:33:37You're dead!
00:33:45Sir, have you struck the wrong person?
00:33:48That one's over there!
00:33:50Silence!
00:33:52And you!
00:33:58You lawless animal!
00:34:01He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:04He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:10He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:11Commander, your subordinate Garret failed to discipline his men.
00:34:15They offended the Commander.
00:34:16I await your punishment.
00:34:18We await your punishment, Commander!
00:34:20Commander?
00:34:26Sir, look at how he's dressed!
00:34:28How could he possibly be the Commander?
00:34:30Commander Marcusis, I can bear witness.
00:34:32He's just the son of a poor relative of mine.
00:34:34They just found him today.
00:34:36It's true.
00:34:37Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:34:39Just look!
00:34:39How could a penniless blacksmith be the Commander?
00:34:43Commander!
00:34:47Open your eyes!
00:34:49This is the youngest Commander in the Empire's history!
00:34:52The new...
00:34:54The new Commander?
00:34:55This can't be!
00:35:00Effective immediately, you are stripped of all military rank.
00:35:04You are demoted to the lowest common class.
00:35:08No!
00:35:09Commander Garret, I was wrong!
00:35:12Ah!
00:35:13Ah!
00:35:16He's the Commander.
00:35:17Does that mean Thomas' family is about to strike it rich?
00:35:21Commander, it was all Marcus who deceived me.
00:35:24Tonight, anything you want.
00:35:26If you let me go, tonight...
00:35:28No, every night from now on, I'm yours.
00:35:31You can do anything you'd like to me.
00:35:33You terrible woman!
00:35:34What do you think you're doing?
00:35:35Ah, this is your fault!
00:35:37If you weren't such a useless rest, I'd never have crossed the Commander!
00:35:42Take them away.
00:35:44Ah!
00:35:47Ah!
00:35:55Well, thank you.
00:35:59It's my strength.

00:54:49then let's go now
00:54:54think you can just walk away
00:55:02the barrier
00:55:04you said you wouldn't touch the barrier
00:55:06sam
00:55:07you are far too naive

00:55:12of course i had a backup plan
00:55:14it's your own fault you're useless
00:55:17you
00:55:26you
00:55:47Grand Commander, Ethan, the Magical Barrier needs your magical energy!
00:55:52Father, Mother, wait just a little longer. Once the barrier is restored, I'll come straight back.
00:55:56Go, child, we'll be here.
00:55:58Begin restoring the barrier. Now.
00:56:09Commander! Please channel your energy!
00:56:22Father, are we just going to wait while they repair it?
00:56:26Ethan, you will not win. You insist on stripping me of my governorship? I'll burn the Northern Territory to the
00:56:32ground before I give it up! Release me, now!
00:56:36Commander, we cannot lift our hands from the ground until the barrier is restored. Not one thread of magical energy
00:56:43can escape. If it does, everything is lost.
00:56:49We are safe. The repair circle protects those channeling it.
00:56:54Ha! Is that so? And what about those two?
00:57:02Let's see how lucky you are this time.
00:57:12Commander! Don't let go!
00:57:15No! Without the barrier, the entire Northern Territory will...
00:57:20So what? Peasants and commoners. Worthless. If they die, they die.
00:57:27Exactly. We are nobility. Superior by birth. Commander! Three hundred thousand commoners live here. The loved ones of soldiers. The
00:57:41Legion.
00:57:41Who doesn't have loved ones? Think of the sacrifice your parents made to protect you. Can you really bear to
00:57:49let them die?
00:58:00It's alright, Ethan. We'd never blame you. This is the right choice. We're proud of you.
00:58:08Silence, old man!
00:58:12My poison dagger. This venom makes a man feel every cut before he dies.
00:58:18Ethan, remember...
00:58:20All of this is your fault.
00:58:39Are you insane?! You dare betray me?!
00:58:42You broke your oath first! You swore you wouldn't hurt anyone!
00:58:45He never truly meant to harm me. Sam was only led astray.
00:58:50Sam, you brought this on yourself, every bit of it.
00:58:53Sam! You did the right thing!
00:58:55Yes. I made the right choice.
00:58:58You believe his lies?! Fool!
00:59:01Every man who reaches the top has blood on his hands.
00:59:04That's why you'll never be Ethan's equal! Useless!
00:59:13You are the brother I trust.
00:59:19You'll always be worthless.
00:59:44Father!
00:59:45Arrest Northern Territory Gover Garrett and his son Fitz.
00:59:48Take them to prison at once.
00:59:50Have them confess every crime, one by one.
00:59:55You know what to do with those who refuse.
00:59:58Ethan, listen to me!
00:59:59My family has money.
01:00:00I'll give you whatever you want.
01:00:02Take it all!
01:00:02This was all my father's doing!
01:00:04None of it was me!
01:00:13Get them to the healer!
01:00:15Now!
01:00:18You.
01:00:24Commander!
01:00:37Commander, thank you for saving the Northern Territory.
01:00:41It was my duty.
01:00:43No.
01:00:44You made a great sacrifice.
01:00:46We are grateful.
01:00:47Commander, my parents live by the city wall.
01:00:50If the beasts had broken through, they would have been the first to die.
01:00:53You saved our families.
01:00:55We owe you our lives.
01:00:59Yes.
01:01:00We are all wall guards.
01:01:02Without you, every one of my brothers would have died.
01:01:05Rise.
01:01:06On behalf of the Legion, I thank you for your service, day after day.
01:01:30Ethan!
01:01:31Mother!
01:01:34What happened?
01:01:35Where am I?
01:01:37Ethan!
01:01:37You lost too much blood and fainted.
01:01:39The commander healed you with magic.
01:01:41You're safe now.
01:01:42He has some old ailments.
01:01:43He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:48Ethan.
01:01:49The King wishes to see all of you.
01:01:55Lucy.
01:01:56Thomas.
01:01:57You have shown courage and kindness.
01:01:59You were willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the people of the Northern Territory.
01:02:03The Kingdom of Floria is moon-honored to have subjects such as you.
01:02:07Therefore, I hereby forstro upon Thomas the title of Earl, and upon Lucy the title of Countess.
01:02:13Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:17Legion Deputy Commander Sam.
01:02:26Sam, you betrayed the Legion, injured your commander, and dealt a blow to the Legion's honor.
01:02:31However, on account of your remorse and service in rescuing the Earl and Countess,
01:02:35the Tribunal has weighed your crimes and judged them cleared.
01:02:38Effective today, you are relieved of all duties.
01:02:43Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:48Ethan.
01:02:52I am here.
01:02:54You were fearless in the face of death,
01:02:57and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:03:00You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:03:05It was only my duty.
01:03:08I hereby declare,
01:03:10my most precious daughter, Princess Rowena,
01:03:13shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:14It is my honor to wed the Princess.
01:03:16I hereby swear,
01:03:18so long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory,
01:03:20no war shall ever reach the hem of Your Highness's gown.
01:03:23One final matter.
01:03:24I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward,
01:03:27Crown Prince of the Kingdom.
01:03:37This is as far as you go.
01:03:39Your parents are waiting for you.
01:03:41Are you truly leaving?
01:03:43Stay and think it over.
01:03:44The Legion needs you.
01:03:48Not after what I've done.
01:03:50We fought side by side,
01:03:51and I nearly destroyed their families.
01:03:55They wouldn't want to see me.
01:03:57But in the end you still-
01:03:58Ethan.
01:03:58I'm going out to find myself.
01:04:01Train.
01:04:01Maybe one day I'll come back stronger than you.
01:04:04Very well.
01:04:05I'll be here waiting for your challenge.
01:04:08Perhaps I will be the one to claim victory.
01:04:11I won't hold back.
01:04:13I'll be waiting.
01:04:26Ethan?
01:04:28Father.
01:04:29Mother.
01:04:29Are you alright?
01:04:30I was worried about you.
01:04:31I'm fine.
01:04:32I'm just happy.
01:04:33From now on, we will never be separated again.
01:04:35Yes.
01:04:36Our family will always be together.
01:04:38Always.
01:04:38Always.
