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.
00:00:34Ethan, stay here while mother goes to buy you a sweet cake. All right?
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.
00:01:04Out! 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!
00:01:43Child! Child! 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. The 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! Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:53Forgive me, child. The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan! My soul!
00:03:09The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:03:12Ethan! My soul!
00:03:32I'm here.
00:03:32And here...
00:03:33Perhaps someone here would have seen Ethan.
00:03:36Oh yeah.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:54I swear it.
00:04:17I swear to God, I swear to God, I swear to God.
00:04:37I swear to God, I swear to God, I swear to God.
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.
00:05:18Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:22But I worry about you.
00:05:24Go. Frost Village is your home.
00:05:27This once hung around your neck.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:31All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:33Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:36Go now.
00:05:36Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:42Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:56Ethan, where are you?
00:05:58I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy, wonderful news.
00:06:02The most wonderful news.
00:06:05Victor, is it Ethan?
00:06:07Ethan, do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:12Ethan?
00:06:13Why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:16The 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.
00:06:39If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:44I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:54Welcome, Commander.
00:06:56Commander, the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:07:00There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:03Shall we... force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions.
00:07:07I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:24Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:36Auntie Lucy!
00:07:37What are you doing?
00:07:38The new Legion Commander is here.
00:07:40Put that thing away before you get me killed.
00:07:42Marcus, please.
00:07:44Your commander has surely met many people.
00:07:47Perhaps he's seen my Ethan.
00:07:49Let me just go and ask.
00:07:57Wake up!
00:07:58Your son is dead.
00:08:00Get out of my sight.
00:08:01No.
00:08:02Ethan isn't dead.
00:08:03He's not.
00:08:04Out of the way!
00:08:31Sam, my brother in arms.
00:08:35Let me handle this one alone.
00:08:36Commander Aldrich sent me to assist you.
00:08:38He believes Lord Garrett, Governor of the Northern Territory, is trouble.
00:08:43Then find out where this plan came from.
00:08:45I'll arrange it at once.
00:08:47Wait here for my news.
00:08:48I'm going to Frost Village myself.
00:08:49Contact me the moment you have something.
00:08:51Understood.
00:08:52Portals won't do for the road ahead.
00:08:54Find me a carriage.
00:09:23Mom!
00:09:25Mom!
00:09:25Father, mother, are you here? It's been 20 years. Have you been all right?
00:09:33Ethan, today is your 25th birthday. Where are you? I miss you so much.
00:09:43Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:47Nothing yet, but Ethan turns 25 today. Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Maybe he's married by now. Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:01If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next. If not the next, until I search
00:10:06the whole world.
00:10:07Ethan is coming back. He will. Now, no more tears. Victor is coming today.
00:10:15They haven't visited in years. Why come today of all days on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:19Perhaps they miss him too.
00:10:32Ethan.
00:10:36I have a pony!
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier. Ha!
00:10:42Ha ha ha!
00:10:52Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:06Commander, your disguise as requested.
00:11:10Good. Exactly 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. Let him try. I'll walk around.
00:11:28Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:31Garrett cannot be trusted. I need to see for myself.
00:11:43Mama! Mama!
00:11:48This place. It feels so familiar. I've been here before.
00:11:59Victor, welcome. Come in.
00:12:02Enough pleasanties. My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:07Sign this. Fifty gold coins, up front.
00:12:10No. This is Ethan's home. If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:16That's right. We 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. I want my son.
00:12:30Don't push your luck.
00:12:31No, Steve!
00:12:32An ice crystal crest formed of magic?
00:12:37Where did you get this? Did you steal it?
00:12:39No! You can't take that. It's how I'll find my Ethan.
00:12:41Want the crest? Kneel and beg. Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:44You go too far!
00:12:48Thomas!
00:12:51Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:05That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:08Please! Please!
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. Sign first.
00:13:27Come on!
00:13:31Could this be?
00:13:32Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:41No! I 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. I'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.
00:14:36Just 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!
00:14:49No!
00:14:52I'll make sure you can never find that bastard.
00:14:55Please!
00:14:55Not for the rest of your life.
00:15:02That pattern.
00:15:04Still 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?
00:15:54Wake up, Thomas.
00:15:55What do we do?
00:16:02Are you all right?
00:16:04I'm fine.
00:16:05Marcus was forcing me to sign the eviction notice.
00:16:09This 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.
00:16:54The first time he was born, the father and I had it made into a family just for you.
00:17:15Ethan.
00:17:17You're my Ethan.
00:17:20This isn't a dream, man.
00:17:24It isn't.
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.
00:17:45He'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.
00:17:58Do 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?
00:18:54It 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 laterings?
00:19:44You'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.
00:20:02I 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.
00:20:17No more fighting.
00:20:18I'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!
00:20:51Happy birthday, Ethan.
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!
00:21:14Get out!
00:21:15You are not welcome here!
00:21:17How dare you speak to me that way!
00:21:27Please, don't crush it!
00:21:28Please, I beg you!
00:21:32Kneel.
00:21:35Pick up every piece.
00:21:36Fix it.
00:21:37Then kneel and beg my parents for forgiveness.
00:21:40Refuse, and I will make you pay back a hundred for.
00:21:45Ethan, have you hammered your brain to scrap?
00:21:48Jack, this house is no longer yours.
00:21:51You're nothing but a pack of homeless strays.
00:21:58What the hell?
00:21:59Why is it suddenly so cold?
00:22:03Quaking in your boots, old man?
00:22:05Worried your son's about to die?
00:22:07I'll say this once more.
00:22:09Kneel, apologize.
00:22:11Now, before you regret this.
00:22:13A threat?
00:22:14You don't scare me.
00:22:15Look at this.
00:22:17Cost me a hundred gold coins.
00:22:18This can summon a beast more powerful than any mage.
00:22:21You don't stand a chance.
00:22:23Count yourselves lucky to have this beast be the last thing you see.
00:22:27A Karin Birst summoning stone?
00:22:29Five copper bends at the Legion supply depot.
00:22:31You paid a hundred gold for that trash?
00:22:33What a fool.
00:22:34How dare you!
00:22:36Think you'll survive this?
00:22:37Legion Provision, Article 42.
00:22:39The unauthorized possession and summoning of aggressive beasts in civilian zones is forbidden.
00:22:43Violation results in permanent and discharge and life imprisonment.
00:22:46You quote the law at me?
00:22:48I am the law here!
00:22:51You're all Lubon filth.
00:22:53Every last one of you could die and the Legion wouldn't blink.
00:23:12What do we do?
00:23:14No.
00:23:15My Ethan is here.
00:23:16I will not retreat.
00:23:19Ethan, run!
00:23:24Don't be afraid, son.
00:23:26Your mother and I will hold it back.
00:23:28Just run.
00:23:30I won't leave you.
00:23:32Not when we just found each other.
00:23:37Child.
00:23:39To have you as the last thing I see is enough.
00:23:44I just wish
00:23:45I had the chance to watch you grow.
00:23:54Enough of this touching reunion.
00:23:57No one leaves here alive.
00:24:00Why weep over a blacksmith?
00:24:03He's worthless.
00:24:04Ethan.
00:24:05No matter who you've become.
00:24:08You are still your father's pride.
00:24:12Father.
00:24:13Mother.
00:24:14I promise you.
00:24:17No one will harm you today.
00:24:20Still boasting.

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.
00:29:49Execution?
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?
00:30:05They were as poor as us back then, but they've grown rich. Frost Village wealthiest family. They cut ties with
00:30:10us years ago.
00:30:11They're our last hope. Perhaps they will save Ethan for old time's 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 50 gold coins will be ours.
00:30:46Small 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.
00:30:54New 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?
00:31:43Only 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.
00:32:12Any 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!
00:32:49How is this possible?
00:32:54This...this can't be!
00:32:56I can't move! Let go!
00:32:58Help!
00:33:01Stand 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 Garrett is here!
00:33:32Lord Garrett is here!
00:33:32You're doomed!
00:33:35You're doomed!
00:33:37You're dead!
00:33:45Sir, have you struck the wrong person?
00:33:48That one's over there!
00:33:49Silence!
00:33:52And you!
00:33:57You lawless animals!
00:34:00He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:11Commander!
00:34:12Commander, your subordinate Garrett 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 Marcus, as I can bear witness, he'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?
00:34:47Commander!
00:34:48Open your eyes!
00:34:49This is the youngest commander in the Empire's history!
00:34:53The new...
00:34:54A 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 Garrett, I was wrong!
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...
00:35:29No, 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?
00:35:36This is your fault!
00:35:37If you weren't such a useless rest, I'd never have crossed the commander!
00:35:41Take them away.
00:35:52Commander, Victor and Marcus' family are in custody.
00:35:56Also, a contact reports your parents just left home and went to the estate of Isabella, Frost Village's wealthiest family.
00:36:03So I have a betrothed, do I?
00:36:05Yes, commander.
00:36:06Arranged when you were young.
00:36:08Make it happen.
00:36:09I have a more important task for you.
00:36:12Announce throughout the Northern Territory that three days from now I will hold a grand ceremony in the city.
00:36:17I will declare the identity of my birth parents publicly.
00:36:20No one will dare trouble them again.
00:36:23Understood.
00:36:24I'll see to it at once.
00:36:36Move along.
00:36:37This is not a place for beggars.
00:36:41My lord, my son holds a betrothal contract with Miss Isabella.
00:36:48The poorest person Miss Isabella's ever seen is her own stable hand.
00:36:52You two, rolling in the mud, dare speak of a betrothal?
00:36:56This is all our savings.
00:36:58Please, I beg you.
00:37:07Fine.
00:37:08Wait there.
00:37:15My lord, any news yet?
00:37:19Why are you still here?
00:37:21Move on or I'll have you arrested.
00:37:23You took our money.
00:37:24That was everything we had.
00:37:27How could you deceive us like this?
00:37:30Savings.
00:37:31How much could beggars like you even have?
00:37:37Miss Isabella!
00:37:41Something stinks.
00:37:43Did someone leave rubbish out here?
00:37:46It's me.
00:37:48I'm Ethan's mother.
00:37:52So you're the two spreading rumours that I'm your son's betrothed?
00:38:01How could you hit her?
00:38:05Exactly what vermin like you deserve.
00:38:07You saw our family prosper and came crawling.
00:38:13That's not why we're here.
00:38:19So this is Frost Village' wealthiest estate.
00:38:22Rather modest, honestly.
00:38:25Still denying it?
00:38:26Filth like you, I've seen plenty.
00:38:28You want money?
00:38:29Just admit it.
00:38:41We don't want money.
00:38:43Do you remember the betrothal with our son?
00:38:46You two shameless wretcheds dare bring that up?
00:38:50You've been spreading that lie all over the village!
00:38:53No, we haven't.
00:38:55My son.
00:38:58Your son?
00:39:00Two old chromes who wallow in the mud.
00:39:03Your son must be worthless to leave you destitute.
00:39:07Know your place and get out.
00:39:11No, we don't want anything.
00:39:15Still here?
00:39:16God!
00:39:19No!
00:39:35And who are you?
00:39:36Child, you're really back.
00:39:38They didn't hurt you, did they?
00:39:40I'm fine, father, mother.
00:39:41They didn't dare.
00:39:42You're home.
00:39:44That's all that matters.
00:39:46Oh, and who might this is?
00:39:47Another pewter by the look of it.
00:39:49You dare stand at the gate of my estate.
00:39:51That is enough, Isabella.
00:39:54Isabella, don't think being a woman will protect you from me.
00:39:56What are you playing at?
00:39:58Vermin from the gutter shouldn't stoil the air with their words.
00:40:01Isabella, watch what you say.
00:40:07Apologize.
00:40:08Now.
00:40:10Apologize?
00:40:11To you?
00:40:12Ethan, you cannot bear the consequences of my apology.
00:40:15In this town, one word from me and you disappear.
00:40:17Isabella, wonderful news.
00:40:19The most wonderful news.
00:40:21The Legion just issued an order.
00:40:2330 ships of premium spices and exclusive Mediterranean salt trading rights,
00:40:26all sent to your family.
00:40:28You're about to be the richest family in the region.
00:40:30I really haven't.
00:40:32Is it true?
00:40:33Absolutely.
00:40:34My father is the Northern Territory governor, after all.
00:40:37So that's why these two old retchels turned up today.
00:40:40They heard word our family was about to strike it rich.
00:40:44Is that so?
00:40:46Parasites sniffing out the scent.
00:40:48They dare set their sights on some of the Legion favors.
00:40:51I'll discipline these bastards the Legion way!
00:41:01Lay a hand on me, and your father will lose his post.
00:41:06A blacksmith, all muscle and no sense.
00:41:08His lowborn peasant is far too brazen.
00:41:10His father is the Northern Territory governor.
00:41:12I'm telling my father!
00:41:14You're finished!
00:41:15No, it was all my fault.
00:41:19Mother, it's all right.
00:41:20Call him.
00:41:21Let's see what he does.
00:41:24Oh, a filthy commoner wants to see my father.
00:41:27Someone of my father's stature, and you think you can just summon him?
00:41:30A filthy cockroach who doesn't know his place.
00:41:35You two are the parasites, living off your father's names.
00:41:39So what?
00:41:40Even without magic, I'm a senior Legion commander.
00:41:43Can you say the same?
00:41:44Only those with magical talent may serve in the Legion.
00:41:47That is the law.
00:41:48You had quite some nerve.
00:41:53The law?
00:41:55My father is the law in the Northern Territory.
00:41:58A governor this arrogant.
00:42:02My father is more than a governor.
00:42:04Do you have any idea how much the new commander values Lord Garrett?
00:42:08Values him?
00:42:09News to me.
00:42:10The new commander arrives in the Northern Territory in three days.
00:42:14That alone is the highest honor for my father.
00:42:15Enough.
00:42:16Stop wasting words on this cockroach.
00:42:20You said really true.
00:42:21My father's word is never wrong.
00:42:23Three days from now, the new commander holds a public ceremony in the Central Square.
00:42:26I need to get a new gown ready at once.
00:42:31Three days from now.
00:42:33I'll have a gift for you too.
00:42:35One you'll never forget.
00:42:54Garrett has planted men in the honor guard.
00:42:56They may make a move at tomorrow's ceremony.
00:42:58He can't beat me.
00:42:59Everything proceeds as planned.
00:43:01Understood.
00:43:03Sam, I need to ask a favor.
00:43:06As brothers.
00:43:07Name it.
00:43:11Take my parents far from the Northern Territory.
00:43:14As far as possible.
00:43:15I don't want them caught in the middle.
00:43:18Done.
00:43:18Thank you, Sam.
00:43:20You know, I've never thought of you as a subordinate.
00:43:25You are the brother I trust most.
00:43:28I'll head out now.
00:43:40Coming here was too dangerous.
00:43:42Don't worry.
00:43:44He'll never expect his sworn brother to be the one plotting his downfall.
00:43:49You have his trust.
00:43:52Trust.
00:43:53To him, I'm nothing but a convenient tool.
00:43:56Good.
00:43:57Hold on to that hatred.
00:44:03Tomorrow, Ethan loses the thing he's most proud of.
00:44:17Once I win the commander's favor, a dukety is practically mine.
00:44:23Once I've captivated the commander, I'll have a man with magic, unlike this useless dead weight.
00:44:30The commander is here!
00:44:49Ethan, why didn't you tell me you were the commander?
00:44:52That makes me the commander's wife.
00:44:54We do have a betrothal after all.
00:44:56Isabella!
00:44:57What are you doing, you shameless horrid?
00:45:00Get back here!
00:45:02You have no shame.
00:45:05Yesterday you humiliated me and my parents, called us worthless filth.
00:45:08Now you want to be my betrothed?
00:45:10It was all my fault.
00:45:13I didn't know you were the commander.
00:45:16Ethan, please give me a chance to make it right.
00:45:19Take her away.
00:45:20And revolt the Thorn family's salt trading rights in the Mediterranean.
00:45:24No!
00:45:25My family is already in debt.
00:45:27Without that contract, we'll be ruined!
00:45:30This man holds no magical talent, yet infiltrated the Legion and took a post.
00:45:36Take him to prison immediately.
00:45:38Commander!
00:45:39Fitz is still young.
00:45:41Allow me to take him home and discipline him myself.
00:45:44You would defy a direct order.
00:45:46I advise you to think carefully.
00:45:48This is the Northern Territory.
00:45:50I call the shots.
00:45:51Move against my son and you'll see how ruthless I can be.
00:45:58What are you going to do?
00:46:00I have men positioned in all four directions.
00:46:03One signal from me and they will destroy the barrier.
00:46:07When the beasts flood the city, every man, woman and child will die.
00:46:16You're insane!
00:46:32You...
00:46:35Dead!
00:46:38Let me go!
00:46:39Where are my parents?
00:46:41What have you done with them?
00:46:50Give up.
00:46:52That is a mage binding chain that doesn't just restrain your power.
00:46:57In one hour, it will drain your magic entirely and leave you a broken man.
00:47:03Sam, I always thought of you as the brother I trust with my life.
00:47:08Why?
00:47:09You hypocrite!
00:47:11Even now you lie!
00:47:13If it weren't for you!
00:47:15If only you didn't exist!
00:47:18The commander's seat would have been mine!
00:47:22You have no idea what I gave to become commander!
00:47:25I trained every hour of every day.
00:47:27I pushed through every injury.
00:47:29I could suffer anything if it meant I could become commander.
00:47:32And then there was you!
00:47:34You beat me without crying.
00:47:36You took everything I ever wanted.
00:47:38You made me this shameful loser!
00:47:41Sam, you haven't lost.
00:47:43You've let obsession blind you.
00:47:45I have always seen your effort.
00:47:47Your worth.
00:47:48In my eyes, you are already one of the greatest mages in the kingdom.
00:47:53You knew.
00:47:55Release the chain.
00:47:56Let us speak plainly.
00:48:01He's manipulating you!
00:48:03Do you want to be a deputy for the rest of your life?
00:48:05Exactly!
00:48:07Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:10Stop struggling.
00:48:11Every soul in this city is about to die because of you.
00:48:15You'll be thrown from the commander's seat and cursed for a thousand years.
00:48:30My son!
00:48:31It's useless.
00:48:32Only the owner can open the mage binding chain.
00:48:34I know.
00:48:35You spent three months developing it.
00:48:37You've always been brilliant.
00:48:39That means nothing right now!
00:48:46Enough!
00:48:46Don't waste our time!
00:48:48No!
00:48:49What are you doing?
00:48:50You promised you wouldn't kill Ethan.
00:48:52So that was their arrangement.
00:48:56Sam, do you know why Ethan always outranked you?
00:49:00Because you are too soft.
00:49:02Poor little deputy.
00:49:03Think carefully.
00:49:05If Ethan were gone, who would be left to contest the commander's seat?
00:49:08Exactly.
00:49:09Ethan is the only one who needs to die.
00:49:12Don't believe them!
00:49:13They're using you!
00:49:14I think you're a smart man.
00:49:18You know what to do.
00:49:28Sam, you deserve victory.
00:49:30Do you really want to claim it through dirty tricks?
00:49:33Useless!
00:49:47Mother!
00:49:49Mother!
00:49:49No!
00:49:50Out of my way!
00:49:51No!
00:49:52A mother will never hide.
00:49:53Mother!
00:49:55Ethan, I am so proud of you.
00:49:58You've become such a wonderful man.
00:50:01You've already done so much for us.
00:50:03Now let us protect you.
00:50:05Get out of the way, you old fools!
00:50:06Two powerless wrenches.
00:50:08I'll send you all off together.
00:50:10Mother!
00:50:11Mother, get back!
00:50:13No, a mother should always protect her son.
00:50:17It was my fault.
00:50:19All those years ago, you suffered so much.
00:50:22Don't blame mother.
00:50:23I failed you.
00:50:25I couldn't even buy you the sweet cake you loved.
00:50:29I, Garrett, am of noble birth.
00:50:31I do not strike those without magic.
00:50:33If you insist on standing in my way, take three strikes.
00:50:36Survive them, and I'll let him go.
00:50:39His health has never been good.
00:50:41He's been ill for years.
00:50:43But I'll take them.
00:50:46Perhaps I can hold.
00:50:47What are these fools dealing about?
00:50:48Do it, Father!
00:50:54Mother!
00:51:02Mother!
00:51:18Powerless fool!
00:51:20My father is the Northern Territory's greatest swordsman!
00:51:23That strike was a lesson.
00:51:25No one defies me in all the Northern Territory.
00:51:28Poor woman.
00:51:30Powerless.
00:51:31She doesn't stand a chance against Garrett.
00:51:46Mother!
00:51:47Mother!
00:51:52She's still standing.
00:51:59That was the first strike.
00:52:01I was merciful to hold back.
00:52:04Step aside now and you keep your life.
00:52:07No.
00:52:08My son needs me.
00:52:10I will not move.
00:52:13Mother.
00:52:15Then you die.
00:52:17No one in the Northern Territory has ever survived three of my father's strikes.
00:52:21Least of all a frail old woman like you.
00:52:26You!
00:52:28What are you doing?
00:52:30You would betray my father?
00:52:31I...
00:52:35I...
00:52:35I...
00:52:36Garrett held back on the first strike.
00:52:39But the second...
00:52:46I...
00:52:47I...
00:52:48I...
00:52:53I showed mercy once because you are old.
00:52:56That mercy is gone.
00:53:01Mother!
00:53:02Mother move!
00:53:07Mother!
00:53:12She's finally dead!
00:53:15No one survives three of Garrett's strikes.
00:53:17She gave everything she had.
00:53:20Lucy.
00:53:21Your sacrifice will not be wasted.
00:53:24Now it's my turn to protect our son.
00:53:34Ethan, you missed 20 years
00:53:38But I am so glad I lived to see the man you've become
00:53:43Far greater than I ever imagined
00:53:46I'm sorry
00:53:47I won't be able to walk beside you any longer
00:53:51I only hope
00:53:53You will be happy
00:53:59I give you no more chances
00:54:16I lost again
00:54:25How are you still standing?
00:54:29No matter how hard I try
00:54:40How is your mother?
00:54:43Safe
00:54:45She's no longer in danger
00:54:46But we need to get her to a healer
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
00:55:08You are far too naive
00:55:09Did you really think your mage binding chain was enough?
00:55:12Of course I had a backup plan
00:55:14It's your own fault you're useless
00:55:17You
00:55:18I've been around to you
00:55:18I've been around to you
00:55:28I'm
00:55:29Lover
00:55:29Lover
00:55:29Get to rasp
00:55:31Of course
00:55:39To the
00:55:42Afin
00:55:42To the
00:55:43To you
00:55:47Grand Commander, Ethan! The magical barrier needs your magical energy!
00:55:52Father, Mother, wait just a little longer. Once the barrier's restored, I'll come straight back.
00:55:56Go, child. We'll be here.
00:55:59Begin restoring the barrier. Now.
00:56:09Commander! Please channel your energy!
00:56:23Father, 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.
00:56:30I'll burn the Northern Territory to the ground before I give it up. Release me, now!
00:56:36Commander, we cannot lift our hands from the ground until the barrier's restored.
00:56:41Not one thread of magical energy can escape. If it does, everything is lost.
00:56:49We are safe. The repair circle protects those channeling it.
00:56:55Ha! 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!
00:57:16Without the barrier, the entire Northern Territory will-
00:57:20So what? Peasants and commoners. Worthless. If they die, they die.
00:57:28Exactly. We are nobility. Superior by birth.
00:57:34Commander! Three hundred thousand commoners live here. The loved ones of soldiers. The Legion.
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.
00:58:09Silence, old man!
00:58:12My poison dagger. This venom makes a man feel every cut before he dies.
00:58:18Ethan, remember, all 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. Take 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! My family has money! I'll give you whatever you want! Take it all!
01:00:03This was all my father's doing! None of it was me!
01:00:05The man is killing me!
01:00:13Get them to the healer!
01:00:15No!
01:00:21You...
01:00:23...
01:00:24...
01:00:24...
01:00:25...
01:00:37Commander, thank you for saving the Northern Territory.
01:00:41It was my duty.
01:00:43No, you made a great sacrifice. We 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. We owe you our lives.
01:01:00Yes, we are all wall guards. Without you, every one of my brothers would have died.
01:01:05Rise. On behalf of the Legion, I thank you for your service, day after day.
01:01:30Ethan!
01:01:32Mother!
01:01:34What happened? Where am I?
01:01:37You lost too much blood and fainted. The Commander healed you with magic. You're safe now.
01:01:42He has some old ailments. He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:49Ethan, the King wishes to see all of you.
01:01:56Lucy, Thomas, you 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 forstow 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, and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:03:00You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:03:04It was only my duty.
01:03:08I hereby declare, my most precious daughter, Princess Rowena, shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:14It is my honor to wed the Princess.
01:03:16I hereby swear, so long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory,
01:03:21no war shall ever reach the hem of Your Highness's gown.
01:03:23One final matter.
01:03:25I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward, Crown 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.
01:03:45The Legion needs you.
01:03:48Not after what I've done.
01:03:50We fought side by side, and 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, I'm going out to find myself.
01:04:01Train, maybe 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.
01:04:15I'll be waiting.
01:04:26Ethan?
01:04:28Father.
01:04:29Mother.
01:04:30Are 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.
01:04:40Always.
01:04:40I'll be here on my left.
01:04:40Oh my God.
01:04:41You
