Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Oh no! They're on us! Warriors! Do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:18Gods 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!
00:00:34Poor bugs!
00:00:51Hera...
00:00:51Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:11The gods are punishing me. Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name
00:01:18that would outlive me, and nearly 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.
00:01:41Moses...
00:01:41Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Cade, this kingdom will never
00:01:46fall. 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.
00:02:32But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds, and slowly drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:40Your majesty! Urgent news from the border! The orc empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:47Those 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 old empire? Today every last one of you die!
00:03:32The scepter of light! You're carrying the relic!
00:03:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha! So your godly power has limits after all. Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's
00:03:47last godsworn! Crush the woman guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:54Pull back!
00:04:05In 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?
00:04:33Commander! Dear god! You're gravely wounded! I'll get a healer right now! Just hang on!
00:04:40I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:47Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the orc empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course! Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cade's history!
00:05:06Your majesty.
00:05:08Hera.
00:05:15Hera!
00:05:16Hera! Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your majesty.
00:05:23What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war. And you still dare question me?
00:05:31One border war dragged on for three whole years.
00:05:34You had the power of the gods, yet countless Cade-Aid soldiers still died.
00:05:38Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war, 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 godsworn has limits.
00:05:50He's right. Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already.
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the godsworn. Someone with her power should have ended the war long ago.
00:05:59The only reason it dragged on is because she wanted it to.
00:06:02She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:06What exactly were you plotting?
00:06:08Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people.
00:06:12I 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. She 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? You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Neil!
00:06:38Your majesty, please reconsider her. Hera slid blood for this kingdom! You can't treat her like this!
00:06:44Treasonous fool! You dare oppose the king's command? Guards! Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances. Now there are only two left. When they're gone,
00:06:58so am I.
00:07:02As you command.
00:07:04Hera.
00:07:06I made this for you myself. It carries my heart with it. In 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. Without you, this crown means nothing to me. You're my only light,
00:07:23my only love. Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes, my king. I'd give everything for you too.
00:07:32This world only worships winners. Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:39You gambled everything on the battlefield, but the real war is fought on the throne. And you already lost.
00:07:46I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom. My wounds reopen every night. I cough blood in silence.
00:07:54Yet he never noticed. Never cared. That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:08Commander. We fought through hell to save this kingdom. And this is how they repay you. Those snakes stole your
00:08:15power.
00:08:18Power is just dust. It never mattered to me.
00:08:22Commander. The kings betrayed everyone. You gave everything to Cade. And this is what you got in return?
00:08:28To hell with that king. Commander. Let's rebel. Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours.
00:08:36Enough.
00:08:38Commander. We don't care about power or glory. We just want to protect Cade. To protect the people under under
00:08:45god's blessing.
00:08:46Commander. The king's blind. And the court's full of vipers. A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the
00:08:53gods.
00:08:53That's enough. That's enough. Get up. The 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. Never rebel.
00:09:09Commander. But the king...
00:09:10Enough. Never speak of this again.
00:09:15Commander. The queen mother summons you. Immediately.
00:09:26Your grace.
00:09:27Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you. You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up
00:09:32here all because Moses is young and stupid. I've already reprimanded him, and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:38Please don't worry about me, your majesty. The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne. Everything I did
00:09:45was my duty. I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable. It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision. I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:09:59The late king swore this oath before the gods. It 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. This kingdom owes you. Only with you beside Moses can Cade remain under
00:10:14the gods' protection.
00:10:17Commander. If this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother. You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:23I've known the king almost my whole life. And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:40Commander. If you're angry, take it out on me. Even if I'm to die, I will blame you.
00:10:52Hera! You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:54I swear by the gods. I never touched her. I would never hurt her.
00:10:59I saw it with my own eyes. And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:04Please calm down, your majesty. Don't blame the commander. It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:10I deserve punishment. If 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. Why should I apologize?
00:11:23Dare you disobey me? Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:44Hera! That was incredible! Teach me!
00:11:47Come here. I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind. Keep your arms steady. Let 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.
00:12:03When 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! She's the pillar of this kingdom. You can't treat her like this.
00:12:23Cain! You dare defy me too? You want punishment as well?
00:12:28Hera spent her whole life fighting for Cade. She drove back the orcs and protected this kingdom.
00:12:32She's blessed by the gods. How can you treat her this way? And I saw everything clearly. It was Reen.
00:12:38She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:43Guards! Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers. He is confined till further notice.
00:12:52Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods. Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:02Your 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. One hundred chances. And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:33Moses. That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name. It represents honor and faith. Taking it
00:13:43back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:45Don't worry, mother. I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:49Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone. You stripped her power and took her crest. How will
00:13:56you face her afterward?
00:13:57Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera. Not me. If I don't crush her influence before the wedding,
00:14:05this kingdom will belong to her instead of me.
00:14:09Then make them know you.
00:14:13It's fine, mother. She's like the rose with thorns. Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit. Only then
00:14:21can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:23Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:26Don't worry. She's obeyed me for years. The gods bound us together. And besides, I don't want a legendary commander
00:14:33feared 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. Taking away her command is for her own good. She needs
00:14:43rest.
00:14:44You're grown now. Just remember to control your decisions anymore. Don't destroy what you and Hera once had. That bond
00:14:52was blessed by the gods.
00:15:13The gods have blessed you, your majesty. Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king. I'm glad
00:15:21to see it.
00:15:23Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom. Your wounds are severe. Now that you've stepped down as commander, just
00:15:30focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:32Before I leave the palace, this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, your majesty! The Orc Empire has sent envoys! They want peace talks!
00:15:47Guards! Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:49Approved. You may leave now. Hera, I know you've suffered lately. We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:15:59Your majesty. There's no after this anymore. There's no after this anymore.
00:16:08There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera! Are you hurt?
00:16:25I'm fine. It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's not nothing. To me. You matter more than the throne, more than this kingdom, more than anything in
00:16:34this world.
00:16:39From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:16:51Hera, come home safe. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:16:59Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:06Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods, I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:22This world is vast enough that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:32May the gods bless them! The king is finally marrying Commander Hera!
00:17:38What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:40I heard she lost her title, her army, even her sacred Christ. Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:47You don't understand. The king just wants her to put down her sword and live peacefully beside him. It's out
00:17:51of love.
00:17:52I see. Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:03Your majesty, we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:07What nerve!
00:18:09The king himself arrives! Dare you not come greet him? This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:15Don't blame her. She's been hurt lately. I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:19What's wrong? Where's Hera?
00:18:24Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:38Stop!
00:18:44Your majesty!
00:18:47Tell me where Hera is! Answer honestly!
00:18:50Your majesty!
00:18:52Lady Hera left the capital the day she surrendered the sacred crest! I have no idea where she went either!
00:19:02What?!
00:19:02No! That's impossible! You're lying! Hera swore to my father she'd take me protect Cade! She swore before the gods!
00:19:08She would never leave me!
00:19:09Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you!
00:19:13Insolence! How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty!
00:19:17Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine!
00:19:22Your majesty, I swear by the gods, Lady Hera truly left the capital! Before she left, she ordered me to
00:19:29throw away all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:31Hera, these night-bracels were offered by the Lord of the Eastern territories! I saved them especially for you! Wear
00:19:37them, like I'm always by your side, protecting you!
00:19:40I love them! I'll treasure them forever!
00:19:43Old belongings. Could she mean, all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?!
00:19:51Over there! Half of them have already burned!
00:20:00Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:11Hera, look! This is our vow parchment. It says, I'll love Hera forever, and we'll never be apart.
00:20:18Yes. We'll be together forever, never apart.
00:20:26When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting!
00:20:31Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:36Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:40Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:45Mercy, your majesty! I swear by the gods! I didn't know those belonged to the royal family! Please spare me!
00:20:51You can't do this! He didn't know!
00:20:53Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:20:55What? You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant. If she hears about this, what will
00:21:02she think of you?
00:21:03Right! She just left! She can't have gone far yet! I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:08Hera no longer holds any office! You have no right to force her back!
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancรฉ! I have every right to bring her
00:21:20back!
00:21:22Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom!
00:21:26That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods! A crime worthy of death!
00:21:31Exactly! Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:36Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word? Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:44Cain! Are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare!
00:21:48Enough! Get out! I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:55And you, do you think this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not! This is all Hera's doing! She's manipulated everyone around her!
00:22:05She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers! That's why he keeps defending her!
00:22:10I knew it! Cain must have feelings for Hera! But now, how do I fix this mess?
00:22:18I thought marrying her would stabilize the kingdom!
00:22:21But she escaped! Turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom!
00:22:26I have a solution, your majesty!
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:30The only way to calm the royal court and the people is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this
00:22:37crisis passes!
00:22:38Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's! You'll do!
00:22:44Your majesty!
00:22:46I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for 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, as you command!
00:23:02Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved.
00:23:05From now on, they'll all belong to me!
00:23:09Hera, I am the king of Cade!
00:23:11The ruler of this world!
00:23:13No one's allowed to defy me!
00:23:24Hera, is that you?
00:23:25You finally came back to me!
00:23:28My Hera!
00:23:28Hera, I knew you were hurt before!
00:23:33But why wouldn't you just listen to me?
00:23:36I wanted to tell you everything!
00:23:38On our wedding night!
00:23:43Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you!
00:23:47But I'm a king, I wasn't just myself!
00:23:50Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:52But don't worry!
00:23:54I'll make it up to you from now on!
00:23:57Irene even taught me!
00:23:59How to please a woman, I'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?!
00:24:13Your majesty!
00:24:15We located Hera!
00:24:16She's currently in 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 to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you!
00:24:29Never 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 fighting wars for the kingdom!
00:24:51Now that I finally have peace, you should be happy for me!
00:24:55Maybe so!
00:24:57But it's still so unfair!
00:24:59There!
00:25:00It'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!
00:25:30Don't touch her!
00:25:39Gareth!
00:25:57Your power is impressive, but your old wounds never healed.
00:26:02You're finished.
00:26:05Tonight, I'm taking your life.
00:26:08Who sent you?
00:26:11Who else in Cade has this kind of power besides the king himself?
00:26:15Don't touch her!
00:26:20Cain, stay with me.
00:26:22You can't die.
00:26:40So it's true, Hera.
00:26:42I knew there was something between you and Cain.
00:26:44I came all this way to bring you back, and this is what I find?
00:26:48Sneaking around with my own brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly?
00:26:52You're a prince.
00:26:53Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me?
00:26:56It's not worth...
00:26:57Lady Hera, you 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, you were with my brother?
00:27:09Don't think I can't see the truth.
00:27:12You ran from the wedding because you wanted to elope with Cain.
00:27:18Brother, you've got it wrong.
00:27:20I...
00:27:20I only followed because I was worried Hera 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 has already decided what to believe, then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say, guards, execute Hera, now!
00:27:44That's a royal command!
00:27:46Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:48Your...
00:27:48Your majesty, Hera fought and bled for this kingdom.
00:27:52Earned countless honors.
00:27:53You...
00:27:53You cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you have the guts, I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty, Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom.
00:28:02How...
00:28:03How can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:05Everything I've done in this life, I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:10Answer for yourself?
00:28:12Then what about our engagement?
00:28:13You abandoned me on our wedding day and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom.
00:28:17Did you ever think about me?
00:28:19Do you remember the document I handed you the last time I came to see you?
00:28:23You approved it yourself.
00:28:25The document?
00:28:27The document?
00:28:32Your majesty, I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire has 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!
00:28:46Now!
00:28:51You may be happy to come to see you.
00:28:52No!
00:28:53No, it's not true!
00:28:54This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read carefully.
00:28:58It's real.
00:29:01How...
00:29:01How did this happen? Why didn't I know about this? Who kept this from me? Who? It was you! Take
00:29:08him out and execute him, now! Your Majesty, please! I swear I hid nothing! You approved it without even a
00:29:13glance!
00:29:14Hera, I swear to the gods, I didn't know it was a cancellation document. Please believe me.
00:29:20It's already done. Our engagement was over. There's nothing left between us now.
00:29:25You promised my father! You promised to protect Caden, to protect my throne!
00:29:29I did. And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:33Then that means you can still-
00:29:35I once swore before the gods that I would give you 100 chances. You've used every last one.
00:29:40100? How could they all be gone already?
00:29:43No! You're lying to me! That was 100 chances! There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:48You are stripped of your position as regent. Irene will take your place.
00:29:52As you command.
00:29:55Pity's foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:30:02From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:30:14Now the 100 chances are truly gone.
00:30:18It's time to leave.
00:30:21Everything in Kato belongs to me, including you. I'd kill you rather than let you leave me!
00:30:32Fine. If you truly want my life, then take it.
00:30:36Your Majesty! You can't kill her!
00:30:41She'd rather be killed than come back to me.
00:30:44Your Majesty! You can't kill her!
00:30:50Your Highness. You don't have to do this.
00:30:54Your Majesty. Lady Hera has done too much for Cade.
00:30:58If you kill her like this, the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:01She chose this herself. I didn't mean to.
00:31:04I beg you, Your Majesty.
00:31:06Spare her life.
00:31:07Why do you care about her so much?
00:31:10This isn't personal.
00:31:11But the people know right from wrong.
00:31:14If you execute a national hero without cause,
00:31:17neither the nobles nor the people will accept it.
00:31:19Good.
00:31:20Everyone says Hera has the people behind her.
00:31:22Power everywhere.
00:31:24Loyal followers everywhere she goes.
00:31:26Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:27Your Majesty.
00:31:28Please don't say that.
00:31:29The late King changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me.
00:31:32Believed in me.
00:31:33I'll never forget that kindness.
00:31:35So don't worry, Your Majesty.
00:31:37I will never rebel.
00:31:38You won't.
00:31:39But what about your men?
00:31:40Gavin, Arryn, Thor?
00:31:41Every one of them is a deadly commander.
00:31:43Can you guarantee they won't turn against me?
00:31:54I'll let them lay down their titles and return home.
00:31:57The royal family will face no threat from them.
00:31:59You have my word.
00:32:01I can let you leave.
00:32:02But you must promise me.
00:32:04Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:05Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:08What a waste to be chained down by her.
00:32:09Watch your tongue!
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs in front of me?
00:32:12Want to die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:15Swear before the gods that you will never serve anyone else for the rest of your life.
00:32:19Or you'll be punished with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:22I accept.
00:32:24I, Hera, swear before the gods.
00:32:25For the rest of my life, I will fight me for Cade and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:29I will never serve another kingdom or power.
00:32:31If I break this oath, may the gods deliver their harshest punishment upon me.
00:32:35Hera!
00:32:36You'd rather abandon all your talent and disappear into the wilderness than stay by my side?
00:32:41I already gave the first half of my life to Cade.
00:32:44I fulfilled the late King's final wish.
00:32:47Now it's time for me to leave.
00:32:50I want to travel the world, live the rest of my life in peace, and never involve myself in the
00:32:54kingdom again.
00:32:55You good, Hera!
00:32:56So you really think Cade will fall apart without you?
00:32:59That I can't rule this kingdom without you?
00:33:01You seriously overestimate yourself.
00:33:03I never thought that.
00:33:04That's exactly what you think.
00:33:06Lucky for Cade, there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds.
00:33:10With Irene leading the kingdom, Cade will thrive just fine.
00:33:13Better than ever, actually.
00:33:15I won't disappoint your majesty's trust.
00:33:21Moses is still young.
00:33:22I'm only trusting with him and the kingdom's future.
00:33:27I'll give it everything I have.
00:33:29The late King entrusted everything to me before he died.
00:33:32No matter what, I have to do last thing for Cade.
00:33:35Your majesty is wise.
00:33:37Before I leave, there are three things I beg you to remember.
00:33:41Interesting.
00:33:42So even you have something to beg me for now.
00:33:44First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:33:48The people are exhausted.
00:33:49Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:33:53I already know that.
00:33:54Second, the northern cities were only recently subdued.
00:33:58Morrill and his men are fierce and proud.
00:33:59While I was here, I could keep them loyal.
00:34:02Please treat them with mercy and respect.
00:34:04If you push them too hard, they will rebel, which will bring disaster to the kingdom.
00:34:15Lord Moriak! Unstoppable!
00:34:17One man against 10,000!
00:34:22Don't worry.
00:34:23Irene is the truly gifted one in Cade.
00:34:26She's far more capable than you ever were.
00:34:28Third, never trust the Orc Empire.
00:34:31Gromash and his court are brutal by nature.
00:34:34Never lower your guard around them.
00:34:37Finished, that's all.
00:34:38Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:40Don't underestimate these three rules.
00:34:43If you can truly follow them, Cade will be in peace for a hundred years.
00:34:48Hera, stop pretending to be so loyal.
00:34:50You disgust me.
00:34:52Every word I said came from my heart.
00:34:54Listen carefully!
00:34:55This kingdom won't stop without you.
00:34:56No, Cade will even become stronger than before.
00:34:58That's good.
00:34:59May Cade kingdom prosper, and may my king be safe and well.
00:35:04Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cade away and treat his injuries immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:34Why are you here?
00:35:37Why are you here?
00:35:41We refuse to continue serving that damned king.
00:35:45We suffered endless humiliation in the royal court.
00:35:48We would rather follow you, even if it means doing the roughest labor.
00:35:52Lady Hera, please don't leave.
00:35:54Cade cannot survive without you.
00:35:56You gave everything for Cade.
00:35:58We can't let you leave like this.
00:36:00Everything is settled.
00:36:01I have nothing left to stay for.
00:36:03I only wish to lay down my burdens and live a few peaceful years.
00:36:07During your years in power, you did so much for us.
00:36:10Now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero.
00:36:14We refuse to accept it.
00:36:17The royal court has wronged its greatest protector.
00:36:21That's right!
00:36:22All gatherings must come to an end someday.
00:36:25Everyone, please go home.
00:36:28Don't make things harder for Hera.
00:36:34May your road ahead be safe, my lady.
00:36:37May the rest of your life be peaceful and stable.
00:36:52You saw it with your own eyes.
00:36:54The people of this land recognize only Hera in their hearts, not the royal family.
00:36:58I will accomplish great deeds for the world to see.
00:37:01I'll make Hera understand who truly deserves to rule Cade.
00:37:05Your Majesty, I have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly and elevate your prestige far above Hera's.
00:37:11Speak! What plan?
00:37:13Though Hera is gone, her influence within the court still remains.
00:37:17Your Majesty should dismiss every official connected to her and replace them all with people loyal only to you.
00:37:23And you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and privileges.
00:37:27Only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly devote themselves to you.
00:37:32Only then will Cade truly belong to you.
00:37:36But the royal treasury has long been emptied.
00:37:39We simply don't have the money for increased rewards.
00:37:43Then raise the taxes.
00:37:45But before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes.
00:37:49Keep the people to live peacefully.
00:37:51You are mistaken.
00:37:53To secure royal authority, you must first secure the loyalty of those who hold power around you.
00:37:57Only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you.
00:38:01Hera wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes.
00:38:04She was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne.
00:38:08You mustn't fall for her tricks.
00:38:11What a scheming woman.
00:38:13Even after leaving, she's still plotting against me.
00:38:17As you said, deliver my order at once.
00:38:21Raise the taxes.
00:38:24Your Majesty, as Minister of Agriculture, I present three treasures.
00:38:29Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepuls.
00:38:34May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever.
00:38:39Excellent.
00:38:40Truly excellent.
00:38:41Cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you.
00:38:44I oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the Blacksteel Command Seal, the Lionheart Battle Armor, and the Hundred War
00:38:52Bone.
00:38:53May Cade Cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us.
00:38:57Well done.
00:38:58That's Irene's brother.
00:39:00You've forged Cade Army into such a powerful force.
00:39:03With you there, our borders will remain secure forever.
00:39:07I present the Star Crystal Stepter, the Deep Sea Pearl Crown, and the Holy Light Blessing Scroll.
00:39:14May your Majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people, and secure your supreme royal authority
00:39:21forever.
00:39:23Long live King Moses.
00:39:25May Cade resign forever.
00:39:28Ever since Irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom, Cade has grown stronger every time.
00:39:34The people live peacefully, and the court stands united.
00:39:39This is true prosperity.
00:39:48The entire kingdom celebrates today, and every minister offers congratulations.
00:40:05Why are you still unwilling to accept it, thinking that without Hera, Cade could never maintain its essence glory?
00:40:11I didn't think so. Let's stop talking this.
00:40:14Even if Hera possessed some ability, how could she possibly compare to Irene's wisdom and strategy?
00:40:20Your Majesty, enough!
00:40:22Stop! You still side with her in your heart!
00:40:25I would truly like to see Hera's expression when she realizes Cade remains prosperous even without her.
00:40:31Prosperous?
00:40:32The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe.
00:40:35Citizens are displaced, suffering 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 spare money to pay, I'll whip you to death!
00:40:53Sir, this year's harvest completely failed.
00:40:56The taxes are far too heavy.
00:40:58We truly can't afford to pay.
00:40:59You have no choice!
00:41:00This is the King's command!
00:41:02Anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot!
00:41:07How dare you speak such nonsense here!
00:41:10Cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of His Majesty.
00:41:14Raising taxes slightly is what made this grand banquet and this stability possible.
00:41:19What is wrong with that?
00:41:20Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised.
00:41:25The people needed time to recover.
00:41:28You promised her that.
00:41:30Shut up!
00:41:31Hera has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:35If you refuse to listen to honest counsel and remain this stubborn, then I have nothing left to say.
00:41:41Insolence!
00:41:42Since you despise everything here so much, then get out!
00:41:45Go to the Far North and never back again!
00:41:47Your Majesty, please don't!
00:41:50The Far North borders the Orc territories.
00:41:52If Prince Cain goes there, he will certainly die!
00:41:56How is that possible?
00:41:58Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:01Those two cities have already...
00:42:04Already what?
00:42:06Speak!
00:42:07They have already been ceded by Lady Irene to the Orc Empire of the Gromish Royal Court.
00:42:12Your Majesty, those two cities were nothing but barren wastelands.
00:42:15I made the decision to precede them in exchange for peace along the borders.
00:42:19They're only two worthless cities.
00:42:20Then that's it, not a great deal.
00:42:30This little beauty looks good!
00:42:33Take her with us!
00:42:36Let me go!
00:42:37Let me go!
00:42:41You beasts!
00:42:43Let go of my daughter!
00:42:49With the King being this foolish, Cade will fall.
00:42:54Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the Royal City.
00:42:57Spare you from suffering in the Far North.
00:43:00There's no need.
00:43:01I'll leave at once.
00:43:02You would rather die than remain by my side?
00:43:05Yes.
00:43:06There is no hope left here.
00:43:08My heart has long since died.
00:43:11I'm leaving now.
00:43:15Report!
00:43:16A devastating locust playing has erupted in Gale Wind City.
00:43:19The crops have all been devoured, and countless civilians are starving to death.
00:43:29Get it moving!
00:43:31This is fucking...
00:43:36Your majesty!
00:43:38Silvermean City's been hit by the worst flood in a hundred years.
00:43:41The dam collapsed.
00:43:42The farmlands are gone.
00:43:55The farmlands are gone.
00:43:57Colin!
00:43:59Didn't you swear the kingdom was thriving?
00:44:01With good harvests, peaceful people, no disasters?
00:44:05Now we've got locusts and floods, and you hid it from me?
00:44:08How dare you?
00:44:10Your majesty!
00:44:11I swear I'm innocent!
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.
00:44:37Fine.
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 banquet 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 favorites.
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.
00:45:20I 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.
00:45:56Hera.
00:45:58If Hera were here, none of this would have happened.
00:46:03It's been six months.
00:46:05Why won't you come back?
00:46:06Why 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.
00:46:36Disaster's everywhere.
00:46:37People are suffering.
00:46:39Hera, are you really going to stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:42Hera.
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?
00:47:16But, the people are suffering.
00:47:24Hera!
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, but you're a prince.
00:47:41Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:44My brother banished 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, and 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.
00:48:19The kingdom's falling apart.
00:48:21Hera, please.
00:48:22Come back and save Cade's people.
00:48:25If that's the case, then for the sake of the people,
00:48:28I'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,
00:48:41the 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, General 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 Morack 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 surrender, 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.
00:49:46Leave this to me, Your Majesty.
00:49:48I'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.
00:50:03Leave everything to me.
00:50:05Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:12Your Majesty.
00:50:13I'm Morack.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty?
00:50:16Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were.
00:50:19However, this Morlock may look intimidating, but in the end he's just a defeated general
00:50:23with nowhere else to go.
00:50:25Fine.
00:50:25Get up and speak.
00:50:28Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:30You've traveled a long way here.
00:50:32Must 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,
00:50:44she made a promise before every soldier and citizen that the North would be exempt from taxes
00:50:48for five years.
00:50:50And if disaster or war ever struck, the Royal Treasury would provide relief for the people
00:50:55immediately.
00:50:56But what happened?
00:50:59Not only have you sent us nothing, you broke the agreement yourselves.
00:51:03You buried the people under Endless and drove them straight into hell!
00:51:08Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:11We 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?
00:51:53Dares 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?
00:52:02So 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.
00:52:12And 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, you filthy little snake.
00:52:39For saying that alone, you deserve to die.
00:52:47Morlac, are 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.
00:53:01If the Grand Marshal is a useless, poisonous rat like you, then Cade truly is finished.
00:53:06Morlac, how 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, you'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, back 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.
00:53:46Morlac 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 Morlac, I'll give you money, land, power, anything you want.
00:54:07Just 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, sacrificing Irene in exchange for killing Morlac
00:54:16would 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 Irene.
00:54:25Kill the traitor Morlac and protect the kingdom!
00:54:34My Hera, you've been working on military matters all morning.
00:54:37Must 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 Kane.
00:54:53My Lady, urgent 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!
00:55:12Morlac's temper is terrifying.
00:55:13The openly challenging the Royal Family could completely cause a chaos.
00:55:17Morlac 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 Morlac to leave for the North safely.
00:55:34No, 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.
00:55:46And 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.
00:56:09Even 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.
00:56:50North 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!
00:57:07ninjas!
00:57:21Keren!
00:57:22Get the catapult ready!
00:57:24Launch me onto the wall!
00:57:26Release it!
00:57:27Full power!
00:57:28Boom!
00:57:31Boom!
00:57:33Boom!
00:57:35Boom!
00:57:36Boom!
00:57:37Stop him! Stop the monster! Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:53Look carefully! Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner. Nobody here can save him.
00:58:01I know exactly who most of you are. You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield. Now she's been framed
00:58:09and driven out by corrupt cowards. You feel nothing? No anger? No shame?
00:58:15I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom, but to restore Hera's honor. To make people of the
00:58:22north 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.
00:58:35We're born to protect our homeland, not to die for Irene. 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.
00:59:25After being stripped of everything and exiled, how could she possibly accept that?
00:59:29That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace.
00:59:32It seems like I was the target, but in reality, she's humiliating the royal and attacking your authority,
00:59:38and shaking your throne step by step.
00:59:40Damn her.
00:59:42She can't defeat me openly, so now she hides and plays dirty, letting her followers create chaos, humiliating me, provoking
00:59:49the entire kingdom of Kada.
00:59:51Everyone knows Hera's good at winning people over. She tricks soldiers and silizans with fake kindness and pretty words.
00:59:57We absolutely cannot fall for her lies. Must crush her scheme before it's too late.
01:00:01But it's already too late. I let Morlock go to save you, giving him chance to rally all his forces
01:00:06and march south.
01:00:07How are we supposed to stop this war?
01:00:09Don't panic, Your Majesty. I've already prepared for this.
01:00:12My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City, the only path from the north to the capital.
01:00:17Its defenses are impenetrable, and the supplies are abundant.
01:00:20As long as Stonehold stands, Morrick will never reach the capital city, and my brother's a battle heart in general.
01:00:26Morlach may be strong, but he's just a brute.
01:00:30There's no way he can break through the defenses.
01:00:32You can rest easy, Your Majesty.
01:00:37Your Majesty! Terrible news from the front lines!
01:00:40Morlach's army has completely captured Stonehold City!
01:00:43General Fulton had his neck crushed by Morrach!
01:00:52No! That's impossible!
01:00:54My brothers fought in countless battles.
01:00:57Stonehold City was supposed to be imprezzable.
01:00:59How could it fall so fast?
01:01:01How could he die?
01:01:03Enough, Irene.
01:01:04All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans.
01:01:07Now Morlach's army has broken through the north and is marching straight for the capital.
01:01:12Tell me, at this point, is there even a way to turn this around?
01:01:19Your Majesty, please calm your anger.
01:01:23I 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 Morlach's hundred thousand elite riders.
01:01:34The only option is to send envoys to the Orcian Empire.
01:01:38Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion!
01:01:44Absolutely not!
01:01:45I will never agree to something this insane!
01:01:48Your Majesty, remember my final warning.
01:01:51Never forget it.
01:01:54The Orcs are savage by nature, bloodthirsty and ambitious.
01:01:58They've always coveted the rich lands of Cade.
01:02:01They can never be trusted.
01:02:02I have never forgotten Hera's warning.
01:02:04The Orcs are greedy wolves.
01:02:07Allying with them would be suicidal.
01:02:09It could destroy Cade.
01:02:12Your Majesty, this is no time to hesitate.
01:02:15Morlach's army is launching straight for us.
01:02:17He wants your throne.
01:02:18The Orcs 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.
01:02:30There's no other choice now. I'll take the risk.
01:02:32Rest easy, Your Majesty.
01:02:33I'll send trusted envoys to the Orc Empire tonight to secure the Alliance and get their army as fast as
01:02:38possible.
01:02:54Marshal Hera, the undefeated goddess of war!
01:02:57Your Majesty, you're finally here.
01:02:58I've waited day and night for this moment.
01:03:00You have no idea how those snakes in the royal court slandered you.
01:03:04Humiliated you and trampled all over your loyalty in front of the entire palace.
01:03:07I'm clear with everything.
01:03:09You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months.
01:03:11King's blind and Irene controls the court.
01:03:13I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:16But we're warriors to protect the people.
01:03:18No matter what happens, we cannot start a war lightly.
01:03:21Now I need you to order the army to withdraw north.
01:03:24Show the kingdom our sincerity.
01:03:26I'll personally return to the capital and negotiate with the king one last time.
01:03:29If he still insists on dragging the kingdom deeper into ruin, we'll march and take back justice for everyone.
01:03:37Marshal Hera, I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either.
01:03:41I'll follow every order you give without question.
01:03:46My ministers, Morlick has completely taken Stonehold City.
01:03:50His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now.
01:03:53So does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing.
01:03:58You talk endlessly like genius every day.
01:04:01But now that the kingdom's collapsing, suddenly everyone's silent?
01:04:04Where is my royal guard?
01:04:06Why is there not even one soldier here to protect me?
01:04:09Your majesty.
01:04:10The royal family has already lost the people's support completely.
01:04:14Disasters spread across the kingdom, but the court failed to help the citizens.
01:04:17Then taxes kept rising again and again.
01:04:19The people's anger has reached its limit.
01:04:21At this point, the royal guard exists in name alone.
01:04:27The orcs are probably still days away.
01:04:29There's no army and no general left in the capital.
01:04:31If Morlack attacks now, my throne, my life, my everything are gone.
01:04:37Urgent military report, your majesty.
01:04:40Speak.
01:04:41What happened?
01:04:42Morlack's hundred thousand man army has completely withdrawn.
01:04:46What?
01:04:47They retreated.
01:04:48Why would they suddenly pull back without reasons?
01:04:50I couldn't uncover the reason, your majesty.
01:04:53But I personally saw the entire army break camp and retreat over a hundred miles north.
01:05:01Your majesty.
01:05:03Isn't the answer obvious?
01:05:05My strategy worked perfectly.
01:05:09Just the threat of my preparations alone terrified Morrick 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.
01:05:28The alliance has already been secured.
01:05:31Their elite reinforcements are on the way to the capital as we speak.
01:05:35Morlack 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.
01:05:52My most trusted minister.
01:05:54Your majesty, please reconsider.
01:05:56You cannot make this mistake.
01:05:57It's killing ourselves.
01:05:59They are long coveting our lands.
01:06:00Even the late king personally led the campaign against them and died on the battlefield.
01:06:04That blood feed hasn't been settled.
01:06:05How can you bow your head to our greatest enemy and invite them into our kingdom?
01:06:09You're condemning Cade to destruction with your own hands.
01:06:12Your majesty, think carefully.
01:06:14The orcs are cruel by nature.
01:06:16Once they cross our borders, every town in their path will be burnt and looted.
01:06:21Countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered.
01:06:23The people of Cade will be dragged straight into hell.
01:06:27Is the man on the wall, General Garrick?
01:06:30Open the gate immediately.
01:06:32Your king Moses ordered my army to enter the city, crush the rebels, and capture Morlock.
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!
01:06:53You're just a gate commander!
01:06:56And you dare disobey your king's orders!
01:06:59Delaying military business alone is enough reason for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:06General! General!
01:07:08Urgent news from the front lines.
01:07:10Morlock'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.
01:07:22Your 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!
01:08:00Gromge!
01:08:01You savage beast!
01:08:03Never trample the capital of K'day!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want!
01:08:24Take, enter the city!
01:08:26Loot everything!
01:08:27Burn everything!
01:08:28Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want!
01:08:32Tonight, we feast!
01:08:40Urgent!
01:08:40Your Majesty, Gromge has forcibly breached the main gate.
01:08:44General Garrick, who was defending the capital, has fallen in battle.
01:08:46He died fighting to the end.
01:08:50No, no!
01:08:52That's impossible!
01:08:54Garrick was personally appointed by the late king.
01:08:58He fought through his entire life on the battlefield, and defended this kingdom for decades!
01:09:05How could he just die like that?
01:09:08It's true, Your Majesty.
01:09:10I saw it with my own eyes.
01:09:12General Garrick fought Gromge alone and never backed down until the final blow from the axe
01:09:16struck him down on the city wall.
01:09:18The 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?
01:09:31Who can save Cade?
01:09:32I don't want to die by those monsters.
01:09:35Your Majesty, the 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 climb the people's rage.
01:09:50She can execute Irene.
01:09:51To pay 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, you'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.
01:10:19Your crimes are unforgivable.
01:10:22I will end you myself.
01:10:25Your Majesty, save 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.
01:10:39I can serve you with my everything.
01:10:42Irene, there'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.
01:10:56Byron, give me the sword.
01:11:01Your Majesty, what are you doing?
01:11:02No, please.
01:11:03Spare me.
01:11:04I'm loyal to you.
01:11:05I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom.
01:11:07I regret it.
01:11:08I regret ever listening to you.
01:11:11No.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:13I was wrong.
01:11:15I beg you.
01:11:22I beg you.
01:11:23I beg you.
01:11:24I beg you.
01:11:26I beg you.
01:11:28I beg you.
01:11:44Herra, are you really going back to the battlefield?
01:11:47To fight orcs?
01:11:48The whole of Cade is drowning in war and suffering.
01:11:51For every innocent life caught in this chaos, I have no choice.
01:11:56Then come back alive.
01:11:59When you do, I'll give you a big wedding.
01:12:03The orcs?
01:12:04No way.
01:12:05The palace is impenetrable.
01:12:07How could they reach us this fast?
01:12:09Of course I arranged everything.
01:12:11Sir, it's me who opened the hidden gate so that you could break in.
01:12:14You must protect me.
01:12:15You're right.
01:12:16Thanks to you, we could break into the palace this easily.
01:12:19You witch!
01:12:19You betrayed me and the kingdom for glory,
01:12:22colluded with our enemies and stained your hands with countless lives.
01:12:24You are the true traitor of Cade.
01:12:26Unforgivable for all eternity.
01:12:28I regret it.
01:12:29I truly regret it.
01:12:30I was blinded by your evil lies and exiled Hera on my own.
01:12:34You regret it?
01:12:36Too late.
01:12:37You were the one who killed the loyal and forced Hera out.
01:12:40Everything happening now is your own doing.
01:12:42You never deserve the throne.
01:12:44You are nothing but a weak and incompetent king.
01:12:48Hera, I was wrong.
01:12:50I was truly wrong.
01:12:51Your majesty, the situation is hopeless.
01:12:54I'll hold them off while you flee at once.
01:12:57I am the king of Cade.
01:13:00How can a king run away?
01:13:02I won't leave.
01:13:04Your majesty, please.
01:13:06Leave now or it's too late.
01:13:11Ha ha ha ha.
01:13:13There's nowhere left to run.
01:13:15Cade's over today.
01:13:18I will protect the king to my last blest.
01:13:21Cade's over today.
01:13:23Cade's over today.
01:13:39Your majesty, run!
01:13:41Run!
01:13:45Pathetic old man.
01:13:50Thorn, I'm sorry! I should have listened to you!
01:13:54Your Majesty, don't say that. Run. Only you can save Cade.
01:14:05In our old empire, we have a punishment for fallen kings. It's called Forsaken Prisoner.
01:14:14Bring the chains and the collar. Let him be humiliated by a slave.
01:14:23Kill me! Just kill me! I'd rather die than be humiliated like this. Please!
01:14:29Death? Not yet. Crawl. Show everyone what the king has become.
01:14:43Death? Not yet.
01:14:47You're a saint.
01:14:48It's called a knight.
01:14:49The King is a saint.
01:14:49We'll see you next time.
