00:00:08Oh no, they're on us! Warriors, do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:23Gods, help me! I was a fool! I should have listened to Hera! I should never have led the campaign!
00:00:30Never set foot in the Orc Empire!
00:00:39Poor bugs!
00:00:56Hera...
00:00:56Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:16The gods are punishing me. Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name
00:01:23that would outlive me and nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin.
00:01:27Your Majesty, just save your strength. You need to stay alive.
00:01:33My time's over. Moses is too young, too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone.
00:01:39Your Majesty.
00:01:40Then hear my final command. Guide him. Protect him. Don't let Cade fall.
00:01:45Moses. Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Kay, this kingdom will
00:01:51never fall. Listen to her. You're bound together by your engagement. Rule this land side by side.
00:01:57Father, I swear.
00:01:59Father, I swear it. I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the
00:02:05king this kingdom needs.
00:02:07The gods' power isn't endless. But for Moses, for Cade, I'll give everything I have.
00:02:14Good. Good.
00:02:19Father! Father!
00:02:22Long live the king!
00:02:27Rise.
00:02:28Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:34of Cade grew stronger with each passing day.
00:02:37But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds and slowly drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:45Your Majesty! Urgent news from the border! The Orc Empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:52Those beasts dare invade Cade? Who will drive them back for me?
00:02:57I'll lead the army, drown the border in their blood and bring peace back to Cade.
00:03:06Hera, I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you. When you return victorious, I'll honor our
00:03:13engagement.
00:03:13I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony this kingdom has ever seen.
00:03:17My king, I won't fail you.
00:03:24Poor humans! You dare stand in the way of the Old Empire? Today, every last one of you die!
00:03:37The scepter of light! You're carrying the relic!
00:03:44Ha ha ha ha ha ha! So your godly power has limits after all. Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's
00:03:52last godsworn! Crush the woman-guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:59Fall back!
00:04:10In the gods' name! Godfall Ashgrave!
00:04:19In the gods' name! Godfall Ashgrave!
00:04:37Commander!
00:04:39Dear god! You're gravely wounded! I'll get a healer right now! Just hang on!
00:04:45I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:52Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:56Of course! Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:59This wedding will go down in Cade's history!
00:05:11Your majesty.
00:05:13Hera.
00:05:20Hera!
00:05:20Hera! Do you know your crime?
00:05:26Your majesty. What guilt do I have?
00:05:32You failed in war. And you still dare question me?
00:05:36One border war dragged on for three whole years!
00:05:39You had the power of the gods, yet countless Cade-Aid soldiers still died.
00:05:43Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war, food and weapons.
00:05:47You nearly bled this kingdom dry and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:51Your majesty. That was a million beast horde. Even a godsworn has limits.
00:05:55He's right. Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already.
00:05:59Nonsense. She's the godsworn. Someone with her power should have ended the war long ago.
00:06:04The only reason it dragged on is because she wanted it to.
00:06:07She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:11What exactly were you plotting?
00:06:13Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people.
00:06:17I nearly gave my life for this victory.
00:06:19Enough! Shut your mouth!
00:06:20As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent.
00:06:23Irene will take your place. She understands strategy and politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:28Irene has never led an army. She knows nothing about war or governance.
00:06:32Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's grain with your own hands.
00:06:35How dare you? You dare defy the king?
00:06:39Neil!
00:06:43Your majesty, please reconsider her. Hera slid blood for this kingdom! You can't treat her like this!
00:06:49Treasonous fool! You dare oppose the king's command? Guards! Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:55I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances. Now there are only two left. When they're gone,
00:07:04so am I.
00:07:07As you command.
00:07:10Hera, I made this for you myself. It carries my heart with it. In this life, I'll only ever love
00:07:17you. As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything. I'll follow you, protect you, love
00:07:23you forever. Without you, this crown means nothing to me. You're my only light, my only love. Let me place
00:07:30this on you.
00:07:32Yes, my king. I'd give everything for you too.
00:07:37This world only worships winners. Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:44You gambled everything on the battlefield, but the real war is fought on the throne. And you already lost.
00:07:51I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom. My wounds reopen every night. I cough blood in silence.
00:07:59Yet he never noticed. Never cared. That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:13Commander, we fought through hell to save this kingdom. And this is how they repay you. Those snakes stole your
00:08:20power.
00:08:23Power is just dust. It never mattered to me.
00:08:27Commander, the king's betrayed everyone. You gave everything to Cade. And this is what you got in return?
00:08:33To hell with that king. Commander, let's rebel. Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours.
00:08:41Enough.
00:08:43Commander, we don't care about power or glory. We just want to protect Cade. To protect the people under under
00:08:50God's blessing.
00:08:51Commander, the king's blind. And the court's full of vipers. A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the
00:08:58gods.
00:08:59That's enough. Get up. The late king raised me from nothing and entrusted this kingdom to me.
00:09:05Before he died, he placed Cade and Moses in my hands.
00:09:09I swore on the gods that I would never betray this kingdom. Never rebel.
00:09:14Commander, but the king...
00:09:15Enough. Never speak of this again.
00:09:20Commander, the queen mother summons you immediately.
00:09:31Your grace.
00:09:32Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you.
00:09:35You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up here all because Moses is young and stupid.
00:09:40I've already reprimanded him and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:43Please don't worry about me, your majesty.
00:09:45The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne.
00:09:49Everything I did was my duty. I hold no resentment.
00:09:53Moses is grown now and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:57It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:10:00Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:10:03I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:10:04The late king swore this oath before the gods. It cannot be changed.
00:10:09If that is the will of the queen mother and the late king, then I will obey.
00:10:13Hera, you are the pillar of Cade. This kingdom owes you.
00:10:16Only with you beside Moses can Cade remain under the gods' protection.
00:10:23Commander, if this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother. You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:28I've known the king almost my whole life. And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:45Commander! If you're angry, take it out on me! Even if I'm to die, I will blame you!
00:10:57Hera! You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:59I swear by the gods. I never touched her. I would never hurt her.
00:11:04I saw it with my own eyes. And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:09Please calm down, your majesty. Don't blame the commander. It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:15I deserve punishment. If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it!
00:11:22Hera! I order you to apologize to Irene right now!
00:11:25I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?
00:11:28Dare you disobey me? Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:36Traitor!
00:11:49Hera!
00:11:50Hera! That was incredible! Teach me!
00:11:52Come here. I'll show you.
00:11:55Calm your mind. Keep your arms steady. Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:12:00That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:06Hera, you're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:09When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:12I'll stay by your side forever, and make you the happiest woman in Cade.
00:12:22Brother, stop! She's the pillar of this kingdom. You can't treat her like this.
00:12:28Cain, you dare defy me too? You want punishment as well?
00:12:33Hera spent her whole life fighting for Cade. She drove back the orcs and protected this kingdom.
00:12:37She's blessed by the gods. How can you treat her this way? And I saw everything clearly.
00:12:41It was Reen. She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:46You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:48Guards! Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers. He is confined till further notice.
00:12:57Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods.
00:13:02Your crimes deserve death. From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:07Your command over the armies is revoked, and the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be
00:13:11taken back immediately.
00:13:20As you command. One hundred chances. And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:33Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:38Moses!
00:13:40That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:44It represents honor and faith.
00:13:47Taking it back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:50Don't worry, Mother. I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:54Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone.
00:13:58You stripped her power and took her crest.
00:14:00How will you face her afterward?
00:14:02Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera.
00:14:06Not me!
00:14:07If I don't crush her influence before the wedding, this kingdom will belong to her instead of me.
00:14:14Then make them know you.
00:14:18It's fine, Mother.
00:14:20She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:22Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit.
00:14:25Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:28Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:31Don't worry. She's obeyed me for years. The gods bound us together.
00:14:36And besides, I don't want a legendary commander feared across the world.
00:14:40I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:42You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:44Besides, after her last campaign, her body's already broken.
00:14:46Taking away her command is for her own good. She needs rest.
00:14:49You're grown now.
00:14:51Just remember, control your decisions anymore.
00:14:54Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:57That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:06Your majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:10Let her in.
00:15:18The gods have blessed you, your majesty.
00:15:21Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king.
00:15:25I'm glad to see it.
00:15:28Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom.
00:15:31Your wounds are severe.
00:15:32Now that you've stepped down as commander, just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:38Before I leave the palace, this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:46Wonderful news, your majesty! The Orc Empire has sent envoys! They want peace talks!
00:15:52Guards! Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:54Approved. You may leave now.
00:15:56Hera, I know you've suffered lately. We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:16:05Your majesty, there's no after this anymore.
00:16:10There's no after this anymore.
00:16:13No.
00:16:27Hera! Are you hurt?
00:16:29I'm fine. It's nothing.
00:16:33No, that's not nothing. To me.
00:16:36You matter more than the throne, more than this kingdom, more than anything in this world.
00:16:44From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:16:55Hera, come home safe. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:17:04Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:10Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her.
00:17:14I swear on all the gods, I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:27This world is vast enough that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:37May the gods bless them! The king is finally marrying Commander Hera!
00:17:43What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:45I heard she lost her title, her army, even her sacred Christ. Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:52You don't understand. The king just wants her to put down her sword and live peacefully beside him. It's out
00:17:56of love.
00:17:56I see. Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:08Your majesty, we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:12What nerve!
00:18:14The king himself arrives, dare you not come greet him? This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:19Don't blame her. She's been hurt lately. I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:26What's wrong? Where's Hera?
00:18:30Well...
00:18:31Go find her now!
00:18:43Stop!
00:18:50Your majesty!
00:18:52Tell me where Hera is. Answer honestly.
00:18:55Your majesty!
00:18:57Lady Hera left the capital the day she surrendered the sacred crest! I have no idea where she went either!
00:19:07What?!
00:19:07No! That's impossible! You're lying! Hera swore to my father she'd take me protect Cade! She swore before the gods!
00:19:13She would never leave me!
00:19:14Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you!
00:19:17Insolence! How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty!
00:19:22Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine!
00:19:27Your majesty, I swear by the gods, Lady Hera truly left the capital! Before she left, she ordered me to
00:19:34throw away all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:37Hera, these night-bracels were offered by the Lord of the Eastern Territories. I saved them especially for you. Wear
00:19:42them, like I'm always by your side, protecting you.
00:19:45I love them. I'll treasure them forever.
00:19:49Old belongings. Could she mean, all the things I gave her?
00:19:54Where are they?!
00:19:56Over there! Half of them have already burned!
00:20:05Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:07No!
00:20:08Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:16Hera, look! This is our vow parchment. It says, I'll love Hera forever, and we'll never be apart.
00:20:22Yes. We'll be together forever, never apart.
00:20:31When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting.
00:20:36Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:41Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately! Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:50Mercy, your majesty! I swear by the gods! I didn't know those belonged to the royal family! Please spare me!
00:20:56You can't do this! He didn't know!
00:20:58Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:21:00What? You're defending him now?
00:21:02Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant. If she hears about this, what will
00:21:07she think of you?
00:21:08Right. She just left. She can't have gone far yet! I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:13Hera no longer holds any office. You have no right to force her back.
00:21:19She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancé. I have every right to bring her
00:21:25back.
00:21:26Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom.
00:21:31That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods. A crime worthy of death.
00:21:37Exactly! Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:41Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word?
00:21:45Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:49Cain, are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:52I would never dare.
00:21:53Enough! Get out! I don't want to see you right now!
00:22:00And you, do you think this is my fault too?
00:22:04Of course not. This is all Hera's doing. She's manipulated everyone around her.
00:22:10She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers. That's why he keeps defending her.
00:22:15I knew it! Cain must have feelings for Hera. But now, how do I fix this mess?
00:22:23I thought marrying her would stabilize the kingdom. But she escaped, turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom.
00:22:31I have a solution, your majesty.
00:22:33Say it!
00:22:35The only way to calm the royal court and the people is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this
00:22:42crisis passes.
00:22:43Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's. You'll do.
00:22:49Your majesty.
00:22:50Your majesty. I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for such a role.
00:22:54That was not a request. It's an order. Do you dare refuse me?
00:23:00I, as you command.
00:23:06Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved. From now on, they'll all belong to me.
00:23:13Hera, I am the king of Cade. The ruler of this world. No one's allowed to defy me.
00:23:29Hera, is that you? You finally came back to me. My Hera.
00:23:35I knew you were hurt before.
00:23:38But why wouldn't you just listen to me?
00:23:41I wanted to tell you everything. On our wedding night.
00:23:48Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you.
00:23:52But I'm a king. I wasn't just myself.
00:23:55Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:58But don't worry. I'll make it up to you from now on.
00:24:02Irene even taught me. How to please a woman. I'll make you happy.
00:24:07I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:11Why is it you?
00:24:13Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:18Your majesty, we located Hera. She's currently in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:23Great. I'm leaving immediately. I'll bring Hera back myself.
00:24:27Hera, you bitch.
00:24:29I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:34Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:44You're mine somewhere else tonight.
00:24:46After everything you did for Cayde. After all your victories. This is how the king repaid you. How can the
00:24:51world be this unfair?
00:24:53I spent my whole life fighting wars for the kingdom. Now that I finally have peace you should be happy
00:24:58for me.
00:24:59Maybe so. But it's still so unfair. It's heartbreaking.
00:25:09Look out!
00:25:16Such strong magic. They aren't ordinary assassins.
00:25:24Hera, time to die.
00:25:33Don't touch her!
00:25:44Gareth!
00:25:44Gareth!
00:26:02Your power is impressive. But your old wounds never healed. You're finished.
00:26:10Tonight, I'm taking your life.
00:26:13Who sent you?
00:26:16Who else in Cayde has this kind of power besides the king himself?
00:26:20Don't touch her!
00:26:25Cayde, stay with me. You can't die.
00:26:45So it's true, Hera. I knew there was something between you and Cayde.
00:26:49I came all this way to bring you back and this is what I find? Sneaking around with my own
00:26:54brother?
00:26:55Why be so silly? You're a prince. Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me? It's
00:27:01not worth.
00:27:02Lady Hera, you gave everything for Cayde. For its people. It's my honor to save you.
00:27:08I dreamed of marrying you. Of ruling this kingdom together. And all this time you were with my brother?
00:27:14Don't think I can't see the truth. You ran from the wedding because you wanted to elope with Cain.
00:27:23Brother, you've got it wrong. I only followed because I was worried Hera might be in danger.
00:27:28We weren't running away together.
00:27:31You expect me to believe that?
00:27:33If your majesty has already decided what to believe, then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:38Since you have nothing to say. Guards! Execute Hera, now!
00:27:49That's a royal command! Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:53Your majesty, Hera fought and bled for this kingdom. Earned countless honors. You cannot execute her.
00:28:00If none of you have the guts, I'll do.
00:28:03Your majesty, Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom. How can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:10Everything I've done in this life, I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:15Answer for yourself? Then what about our engagement?
00:28:18You abandoned me on our wedding day and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom.
00:28:22Did you ever think about me?
00:28:24Do you remember the document I handed you the last time I came to see you? You approved it yourself.
00:28:30The document? The document?
00:28:37Your majesty, I need your approval.
00:28:40The Orc Empire has sent envoys! They want peace talks!
00:28:45Approved. You may leave now.
00:28:47Someone! Bring me that document! Now!
00:28:56No! No, it's not true! This has to be fake!
00:29:02Read carefully. It's real.
00:29:06How? How did this happen?
00:29:08Why didn't I know about this? Who kept this from me? Who?
00:29:11It was you! Take him out and execute him! Now!
00:29:14Your majesty, please! I swear I hid nothing! You approved it without even a glance!
00:29:19Hera, I swear to the gods, I didn't know it was a cancellation document.
00:29:23Please believe me!
00:29:25It's already done. Our engagement was over. There's nothing left between us now.
00:29:30You promised my father! You promised to protect Cated, to protect my throne!
00:29:34I did. And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:38Then that means you can still-
00:29:39I once swore before the gods that I would give you 100 chances.
00:29:43You've used every last one.
00:29:45100? How could they all be gone already?
00:29:48No! You're lying to me! That was a hundred chances!
00:29:52There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:53You are stripped of your position as regent. Irene will take your place.
00:29:57As you command.
00:30:00Pity's foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:30:07From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:30:19Now the hundred chances are truly gone.
00:30:23It's time to leave.
00:30:26Everything in Cato belongs to me!
00:30:29Including you!
00:30:30I'd kill you rather than let you leave me!
00:30:37Fine. If you truly want my life, then take it.
00:30:41Your Majesty! You can't kill her!
00:30:46She'd rather be killed than come back to me.
00:30:49Your Majesty! You can't kill her!
00:30:56Your Highness! You don't have to do this.
00:30:59Your Majesty! Lady Hera has done too much for Cade.
00:31:03If you kill her like this, the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:06She chose this herself I didn't mean to.
00:31:09I beg you, Your Majesty. Spare her life.
00:31:12Why do you care about her so much?
00:31:15This isn't personal.
00:31:16But the people know right from wrong.
00:31:19If you execute a national hero without cause,
00:31:22neither the nobles nor the people will accept it.
00:31:24Good. Everyone says Hera has the people behind her.
00:31:27Power everywhere.
00:31:29Loyal followers everywhere she goes.
00:31:31Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:32Your Majesty, please don't say that.
00:31:34The late King changed my life.
00:31:36He trusted me. Believed in me.
00:31:38I'll never forget that kindness.
00:31:40So don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never rebel.
00:31:43You won't. But what about your men?
00:31:45Gavin, Eren, Thor? Every one of them is a deadly commander.
00:31:48Can you guarantee they won't turn against me?
00:31:59I'll let them lay down their titles and return home.
00:32:02The royal family will face no threat from them.
00:32:04You have my word.
00:32:05I can let you leave.
00:32:07But you must promise me.
00:32:09Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:10Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:13What a waste to be chained down by-
00:32:14Watch your tongue!
00:32:15Dare question royal affairs in front of me?
00:32:17Wanna die?
00:32:19And that's not enough.
00:32:20Swear before the gods that you will never serve anyone else for the rest of your life.
00:32:24Or you'll be punished with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:27I accept.
00:32:28I, Hera, swear before the gods.
00:32:30For the rest of my life, I will fight me for Cade and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:34I will never serve another kingdom or power.
00:32:36If I break this oath, may the gods deliver their harshest punishment upon me.
00:32:40Hera! You'd rather abandon all your talent and disappear into the wilderness than stay by my side?
00:32:45I already gave the first half of my life to Cade.
00:32:49I fulfilled the late king's final wish.
00:32:52Now it's time for me to leave.
00:32:55I wanna travel the world, live the rest of my life in peace, and never involve myself in the kingdom
00:33:00again.
00:33:00You good, Hera!
00:33:01So you really think Cade will fall apart without you?
00:33:04That I can't rule this kingdom without you?
00:33:05You seriously overestimate yourself.
00:33:08I never thought that.
00:33:09That's exactly what you think.
00:33:11Lucky for Cade, there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds.
00:33:15With Irene leading the kingdom, Cade will thrive just fine. Better than ever, actually.
00:33:21I won't disappoint your majesty's trust.
00:33:26Moses is still young. I'm only trusting with him and the kingdom's future.
00:33:32I'll give it everything I have.
00:33:34The late king entrusted everything to me before he died.
00:33:37No matter what, I have to do last thing for Cade.
00:33:40Your majesty is wise.
00:33:41Before I leave, there are three things I beg you to remember.
00:33:46Interesting. So even you have something to beg me for now.
00:33:49First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:33:53The people are exhausted. Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:33:58I already know that.
00:33:59Second, the northern cities were only recently subdued.
00:34:02Moral and his men are fierce and proud.
00:34:04While I was here, I could keep them loyal.
00:34:07Please treat them with mercy and respect.
00:34:09If you push them too hard, they will rebel, which will bring disaster to the kingdom.
00:34:20Lord Moriac, unstoppable! One man against 10,000!
00:34:27Don't worry. Irene is the truly gifted one in Cade. She's far more capable than you ever were.
00:34:33Third, never trust the Orc Empire. Gromash and his court are brutal by nature. Never lower your guard around them.
00:34:42Finished, that's all. Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:45Don't underestimate these three rules. If you can truly follow them, Cade will be in peace for a hundred years.
00:34:53Hera, stop pretending to be so loyal. You disgust me.
00:34:56Every word I said came from my heart.
00:34:59Listen carefully! This kingdom won't stop without you! No, Cade will even become stronger than before!
00:35:03That's good. May Cade Kingdom prosper, and may my king be safe and well.
00:35:08Then we shall see.
00:35:11Guards! Escort Cain away and treat his injuries immediately!
00:35:15Yes, your majesty.
00:35:16No, Cade! No, Cade! No, Cade! No, Cade will be in peace!
00:35:40Why are you here?
00:35:41The moment you left, all three of us were stripped of military command.
00:35:46We refused to continue serving that damned king.
00:35:50We suffered endless humiliation in the royal court.
00:35:53We would rather follow you, even if it means doing the roughest labor.
00:35:57Lady Hera, please don't leave.
00:35:59Cade cannot survive without you.
00:36:01You gave everything for Cade.
00:36:03We can't let you leave like this.
00:36:05Everything is settled.
00:36:06I have nothing left to stay for.
00:36:08I only wish to lay down my burdens and live a few peaceful years.
00:36:12During your years in power, you did so much for us.
00:36:16Now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero.
00:36:19We refuse to accept it.
00:36:22The royal court has wronged its greatest protector.
00:36:26That's right!
00:36:27All gatherings must come to an end someday.
00:36:30Everyone, please go home.
00:36:32Don't make things harder for Hera.
00:36:39May your road ahead be safe, my lady.
00:36:42May the rest of your life be peaceful and stable.
00:36:57You saw it with your own eyes.
00:36:59The people of this land recognize only Hera in their hearts, not the royal family.
00:37:03I will accomplish great deeds for the world to see.
00:37:06I'll make Hera understand who truly deserves to rule Cade.
00:37:09Your majesty, I have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly and elevate your
00:37:14prestige far above Hera's.
00:37:16Speak!
00:37:17What plan?
00:37:18Though Hera is gone, her influence within the court still remains.
00:37:22Your majesty should dismiss every official connected to her and replace them all with
00:37:27people loyal only to you.
00:37:28And you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and privileges.
00:37:32Only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly devote themselves to you.
00:37:37Only then will Cade truly belong to you.
00:37:40But the royal treasury has long been emptied.
00:37:44We simply don't have the money for increased rewards.
00:37:48Then raise the taxes.
00:37:50But before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes.
00:37:54Keep the people to live peacefully.
00:37:56You are mistaken.
00:37:57To secure royal authority, you must first secure the loyalty of those who hold power around you.
00:38:02Only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you.
00:38:05Hera wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes.
00:38:09She was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne.
00:38:13You mustn't fall for her tricks.
00:38:16What a scheming woman.
00:38:18Even after leaving, she's still plotting against me.
00:38:22As you said, deliver my order at once.
00:38:26Raise the taxes.
00:38:29Your Majesty, as Minister of Agriculture, I present three treasures.
00:38:34Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepuls.
00:38:39May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever.
00:38:44Excellent.
00:38:45Truly excellent.
00:38:47Cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you.
00:38:49I oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the Blacksteel Command Seal,
00:38:54the Lionheart Battle Armor, and the Hundred War Bone.
00:38:58May Cade Cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us.
00:39:02Well done.
00:39:03That's Irene's brother.
00:39:05You've forged Cade Army into such a powerful force.
00:39:08With you there, our borders will remain secure forever.
00:39:11I present the Star Crystal Stepter, the Deep Sea Pearl Crown, and the Holy Light Blessing Scroll.
00:39:19May your Majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people,
00:39:24and secure your supreme royal authority forever.
00:39:28Long live King Moses.
00:39:30May Cade resign forever.
00:39:33Ever since Irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom,
00:39:37Cade has grown stronger every time.
00:39:39The people live peacefully, and the court stands united.
00:39:44This is true prosperity.
00:39:53The entire kingdom celebrates today, and every minister offers congratulations.
00:39:59Why are you sitting there, in silence, without the slightest smile?
00:40:08Congratulations, Your Majesty.
00:40:10Are you still unwilling to accept it, thinking that without Hera,
00:40:14Cade could never maintain its essence glory?
00:40:16I didn't think so. Let's stop talking this.
00:40:19Even if Hera possessed some ability,
00:40:21how could she possibly compare to Irene's wisdom and strategy?
00:40:25Your Majesty, enough!
00:40:28You still side with her in your heart!
00:40:31I would truly like to see Hera's expression when she realizes Cade remains prosperous even without her.
00:40:36Prosperous?
00:40:37The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe.
00:40:40Citizens are displaced, suffering miserably everywhere.
00:40:43And you call this prosperous?
00:40:51The taxes are due!
00:40:52How dare you delay payment?
00:40:54If you still refuse spare money to pay, I'll whip you to death!
00:40:58Sir, this year's harvest completely failed.
00:41:01The taxes are far too heavy, we truly can't afford to pay.
00:41:04You have no choice!
00:41:05This is the King's command!
00:41:07Anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot!
00:41:11How dare you speak such nonsense here!
00:41:15Cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of His Majesty.
00:41:19Raising taxes slightly is what made this grand banquet and this stability possible.
00:41:24What is wrong with that?
00:41:25Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised.
00:41:30The people needed time to recover.
00:41:33You promised her that.
00:41:35Shut up!
00:41:36Hera has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:39If you refuse to listen to honest counsel and remain this stubborn, then I have nothing
00:41:44left to say.
00:41:45Insolence!
00:41:46Since you despise everything here so much, then get out!
00:41:50Go to the Far North and never back again!
00:41:52Your Majesty, please don't!
00:41:55The Far North borders the Orc territories.
00:41:58If Prince Cain goes there, he will certainly die.
00:42:01How is that possible?
00:42:03Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:06Those two cities have already...
00:42:09Already what?
00:42:11Speak!
00:42:12They have already been ceded by Lady Irene to the Orc Empire of the Gromish Royal Court.
00:42:17Your Majesty, those two cities were nothing but barren wastelands.
00:42:20I made the decision to precede them in exchange for peace along the borders.
00:42:24They're only two worthless cities.
00:42:25Then that's it, not a great deal.
00:42:35This little beauty looks good!
00:42:38Take her with us!
00:42:41Let me go!
00:42:42Let me go!
00:42:46You beast!
00:42:48Let go of my daughter!
00:42:54With the King being this foolish, Cade will fall.
00:42:59Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the Royal City.
00:43:02Spare you from suffering in the Far North.
00:43:05There's no need.
00:43:06I'll leave at once.
00:43:07You would rather die than remain by my side?
00:43:10Yes.
00:43:11There is no hope left here.
00:43:13My heart has long since died.
00:43:16I'm leaving now.
00:43:20A devastating locust playing has erupted in Gale Wind City.
00:43:24The crops have all been devoured, and countless civilians are starving to death.
00:43:41Your Majesty, Silvermean City's been hit by the worst flood in a hundred years.
00:43:45The dam collapsed.
00:43:47The farmlands are gone.
00:44:02Colin!
00:44:04Didn't you swear the kingdom was thriving?
00:44:06With good harvests, peaceful people, no disasters?
00:44:10Now we've got locusts and floods, and you hid it from me?
00:44:13How dare you?
00:44:15Your Majesty!
00:44:16I swear I'm innocent!
00:44:18I just got word myself there was no time to report it sooner.
00:44:22Lies!
00:44:23You still dare make excuses!
00:44:25Guards, execute him now!
00:44:31This could be rumours spread by rebels.
00:44:33I'll send people to verify it immediately and get you the truth.
00:44:37Your Majesty, the reports are true.
00:44:40My spies across the kingdom just confirmed everything.
00:44:42Fine.
00:44:43If the disasters are real, then it's simple.
00:44:45Open the treasury.
00:44:46Send food and gold.
00:44:47The people will settle down soon enough.
00:44:51Your Majesty, the treasury, it's empty.
00:44:55We plan to raise taxes again after the birthday banquet just to keep the palace running.
00:44:59But now?
00:45:00No!
00:45:01That's impossible!
00:45:03We just collected taxes not long ago.
00:45:05How could the treasury be empty?
00:45:06The money's already gone, Your Majesty.
00:45:08The ceremonies, the banquets, palace renovations, rewards for your favourites.
00:45:13Nothing left.
00:45:14First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:45:18The people are exhausted.
00:45:20Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:45:23I already know that.
00:45:25Was I really wrong?
00:45:27No.
00:45:28I'm the king.
00:45:30Kings don't make mistakes.
00:45:32Irene!
00:45:33Think of something.
00:45:35We have to keep this under control no matter what.
00:45:38There's only one way left.
00:45:40Raise taxes again.
00:45:42Let the people suffer a little longer.
00:45:44And we survive this crisis.
00:46:01Hera.
00:46:03If Hera were here,
00:46:04none of this would have happened.
00:46:08It's been six months.
00:46:10Why won't you come back?
00:46:12Why can't you forgive me?
00:46:16You need to learn this properly.
00:46:18This is what keeps a kingdom standing.
00:46:20But you're already amazing at running the kingdom.
00:46:23We promised we'd be together forever.
00:46:25And I listen to everything you say anyway.
00:46:28Isn't that enough?
00:46:32It's all my fault.
00:46:33I should have listened to you.
00:46:35Didn't we promise we'd never leave each other?
00:46:37Then why aren't you here?
00:46:38Why?
00:46:39Cade's falling apart now.
00:46:41Disasters everywhere.
00:46:42People are suffering.
00:46:44Hera, are you really gonna stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:47Hera.
00:46:48I miss you.
00:46:50Please come back.
00:46:52Please save Cade.
00:46:54Save me.
00:47:01I miss you.
00:47:02The king keeps squeezing the people dry.
00:47:04Now we've got locusts and floods back to back.
00:47:08The people can't survive like this.
00:47:10The king doubted you, humiliated you, and tried to kill you back then.
00:47:14You can't seriously go back and save him.
00:47:16Exactly.
00:47:17That royal family destroyed you.
00:47:19Why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you?
00:47:22But the people are suffering.
00:47:30Hera!
00:47:31Why?
00:47:33Why are you here?
00:47:38Your hands.
00:47:39What happened to them?
00:47:42It's usual to have these calluses.
00:47:44But you're a prince.
00:47:46Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:50My brother...
00:47:51banished me.
00:47:56So even the last person willing to tell him the truth got driven away too?
00:48:00I'm so happy to see you here again.
00:48:02I'm also the late king's son.
00:48:04And I've admired you for long.
00:48:05Can I...
00:48:08The northern beast threat still isn't over.
00:48:11The kingdom's in chaos.
00:48:12I'm not thinking about love right now.
00:48:14I see.
00:48:16But I'd ask you a very great favor.
00:48:18Right now Irene controls everything.
00:48:20Taxes are crushing the people.
00:48:22And she already handed over two northern fortresses to the Gromish crown.
00:48:24The kingdom's falling apart.
00:48:26Hera, please.
00:48:27Come back and save Cade's people.
00:48:30If that's the case, then for the sake of the people...
00:48:33I'll go back one more time.
00:48:35That's great.
00:48:36Things are already at the breaking point.
00:48:38We need a plan immediately.
00:48:40The situation isn't hopeless yet.
00:48:43If we can provide food and money to calm the people, the crisis can still be contained.
00:48:48The only thing I'm worried about is...
00:48:50What's that?
00:48:51Morlock of the North.
00:48:52He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:48:54He can't be threatened, or if he's pushed too far, he'll rebel for sure.
00:48:57And once that happens, Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom.
00:49:01There will be no saving it then.
00:49:03Moses can't be that foolish.
00:49:05He already made one mistake raising taxes.
00:49:07Surely he won't make another.
00:49:08I hope not.
00:49:11Your Majesty, General Morlock of the North is outside requesting an immediate audience.
00:49:15Morlock.
00:49:16Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:19He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:49:21If pushed him too hard, he'll rebel.
00:49:23Pass down my order.
00:49:25Prepare the best wine and food.
00:49:27Welcome General Morack with the highest honors.
00:49:32Your Majesty, please don't.
00:49:34The treasury's already empty.
00:49:35Every coin matters right now.
00:49:37Morlock's nothing more than a surrendered general.
00:49:40He doesn't deserve the honors.
00:49:42Some ordinary food is more than enough.
00:49:44And he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people.
00:49:48But we can't lower taxes anymore.
00:49:51Leave this to me, Your Majesty.
00:49:53I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:56But Hera warned me to treat him with respect.
00:50:00What you do could cause real trouble.
00:50:02You worry too much, Your Majesty.
00:50:04Men like him only understand.
00:50:06And strength.
00:50:08Leave everything to me.
00:50:10Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:17Your Majesty.
00:50:18I'm Morack.
00:50:20See, Your Majesty?
00:50:21Was I right?
00:50:23Looks like you were.
00:50:24This Morlock may look intimidating, but in the end, he's just a defeated general with nowhere else to go.
00:50:30Fine.
00:50:30Get up and speak.
00:50:33Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:35You've traveled a long way here, must be exhausted.
00:50:38The journey means nothing.
00:50:39But today, in front of both you and the Grand Marshal, I need an answer.
00:50:44Huh?
00:50:45Go on.
00:50:46When Grand Marshal Hera united the Northern Tribes, she made a promise before every soldier and citizen that the North
00:50:52would be exempt from taxes for five years.
00:50:55And if disaster or war ever struck, the Royal Treasury would provide relief for the people immediately.
00:51:01But what happened?
00:51:04Not only have you sent us nothing, you broke the agreement yourselves.
00:51:09You buried the people under Endless and drove them straight into hell!
00:51:13Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:15We swore loyalty to Cade because we believed in Hera's honor.
00:51:19But you've broken every promise she made.
00:51:22What explanation do you have for the Northern soldiers and citizens?
00:51:27How dare you?
00:51:29Are you openly questioning the Royal Court now?
00:51:32Or are you trying to challenge the King's authority?
00:51:35I've never questioned the Royal.
00:51:37I only ask for justice for my people.
00:51:41Royal policy is decided by the Court, not by border warriors like you.
00:51:45Your only job is to control your territory, keep the border stable, and obey orders.
00:51:51And you can't even manage that.
00:51:53Yet you still dare bark at the King?
00:51:56A surrendered brute like you?
00:51:58Dares act arrogant in the Royal Hall?
00:52:01Who the hell do you think you are?
00:52:03Know your place, loser.
00:52:04The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate, so stay there and wag your tail.
00:52:10Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:11You're nothing but a poor thing the Royal took in out of pity.
00:52:15We fed you.
00:52:17And you should have stayed grateful and obedient.
00:52:20Dare you disrespect your majesty and me?
00:52:22You deserve nothing.
00:52:24And that precious Hera you worship so much?
00:52:27She's nothing but a discarded failure the King threw away.
00:52:31A stray dog driven out of the palace.
00:52:33And my defeated loser.
00:52:34And my defeated loser.
00:52:38You bitch.
00:52:39How dare you insult Hera, you filthy little snake.
00:52:44For saying that alone, you deserve to die!
00:52:52Morlach!
00:52:53Are you insane?
00:52:54What the hell are you doing?
00:52:56I...
00:52:57I'm the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom.
00:53:00You're the Grand Marshal?
00:53:02That's right.
00:53:03Lay one finger on me and you'll be guilty of treason!
00:53:06If the Grand Marshal is a useless, poisonous rat like you, then Cade truly is finished.
00:53:11Morlach!
00:53:11How dare you!
00:53:12Let Eren go right now!
00:53:13Now!
00:53:14Hera once praised you, a wise king, carrying the people.
00:53:16But now that I've seen you with my own eyes, you're nothing but a blind fool surrounded by corrupt snakes.
00:53:21You insolent bastard!
00:53:23How dare you insult the King!
00:53:24Go to hell!
00:53:30Nobody move!
00:53:31Whoever takes one more step, I slip her throat right here.
00:53:35No mercy!
00:53:36Back off!
00:53:36All of you!
00:53:37Back off!
00:53:38Don't come near me, please!
00:53:40Why things become this bad?
00:53:42When Hera was here, everything's going well.
00:53:44Everyone!
00:53:45Move back immediately!
00:53:47Get to the sides!
00:53:48Your Majesty, you cannot let him leave alive.
00:53:51Morlach is too dangerous.
00:53:53If he escapes the palace today, he must raise an army and rebel.
00:53:57I beg you to execute him now, and end this threat once and for all.
00:54:02Listen carefully.
00:54:03If anyone attacks me now, I'll drag Eren straight to hell with me.
00:54:07Your Majesty, save me!
00:54:08Don't listen to him!
00:54:09Lord Morlach, I'll give you money, land, power, anything you want.
00:54:12Just don't kill me!
00:54:13A coward like you actually sits in power?
00:54:16You're rotten to the bone!
00:54:17Your Majesty, sacrificing Irene in exchange for killing Morlach would secure the kingdom for generations.
00:54:24For the sake of all Cade's people, you must not let him go!
00:54:27We beg Your Majesty to abandon Irene.
00:54:30Kill the traitor Morlach and protect the kingdom!
00:54:39My Hera, you've been working on military matters all morning.
00:54:42Must be starving by now.
00:54:44Come on, try the food I made for you.
00:54:46You made all this yourself?
00:54:48Sure.
00:54:49This camp barely has supplies.
00:54:50If I had proper ingredients, I could make you a real feast.
00:54:53This is already more than enough.
00:54:55Thank you, my dear Cain.
00:54:58My Lady, urgent military report.
00:55:00Urgent situation.
00:55:05What happened?
00:55:07Our scouts confirmed that Moravac openly turned against King Moses and Irene in the Royal Council Hall.
00:55:14The confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred.
00:55:16God, Morlach's temper is terrifying.
00:55:18The openly challenge in the royal family has completely caused a chaos.
00:55:22Morlach entered the capital with a handful of trusted men.
00:55:25If Moses had executed him on the spot to stop him returning the north, this rebellion could still have been
00:55:30prevented.
00:55:31But the king chose to save Irene instead.
00:55:33He ordered the guards to stand down and allowed Morlach to leave for the north safely.
00:55:39No, that's bad.
00:55:40A lot of innocent people are going to die now.
00:55:46You ungrateful traitor!
00:55:48The king spared your life out of mercy because of your past service.
00:55:51And this is how you repay him.
00:55:53The second you return north, you gather an army and openly rebel against the crown.
00:55:57That's treason!
00:55:58So you're Irene's loser brother.
00:56:00Makes sense.
00:56:01As arrogant and useless as she is.
00:56:03Believe me, I could flatten this city in a second and cut off your head as my wine cup.
00:56:07Then open your damn eyes and look around.
00:56:09Our walls are unbreakable.
00:56:10Our food supplies are full and our soldiers are elite fighters.
00:56:14Even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here, you still won't touch these walls.
00:56:17Back when Hera guarded this kingdom, I might honor the court without crossing the line.
00:56:25Grand Marshal Hera.
00:56:26No need for formalities.
00:56:28I know you're loyal and honorable.
00:56:30Everything that happened before wasn't truly your choice.
00:56:33I will honor every single promise I made.
00:56:36To lower taxes, care for the soldiers, and bring peace to the north.
00:56:40I swear it.
00:56:41But look at the kingdom now.
00:56:43A righteous leader like Hera was framed, humiliated, and driven out by corrupt cowards like you.
00:56:48I didn't raise this army for power.
00:56:50I'm fighting for Hera's honor.
00:56:52For justice for the suffering people of the north.
00:56:55North soldiers!
00:56:57Charge!
00:56:58Break Stonehold City!
00:56:59Fight for Hera's name!
00:57:02For peace of north!
00:57:05All soldiers!
00:57:07Rain arrows!
00:57:08Drop the boulders!
00:57:10Crush these traitors into pieces!
00:57:22I'm down!
00:57:26Karen!
00:57:27Get the catapult ready!
00:57:29Launch me onto the wall!
00:57:31Release it!
00:57:32Full power!
00:57:42Stop him!
00:57:43Stop the monster!
00:57:44Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:58Look carefully!
00:58:00Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner.
00:58:04Nobody here can save him.
00:58:06I know exactly who most of you are.
00:58:09You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield.
00:58:12Now she's been framed and driven out by corrupt cowards.
00:58:16You feel nothing?
00:58:18No anger?
00:58:19No shame?
00:58:21I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom,
00:58:23but to restore Hera's honor.
00:58:26To make people of the north live in peace again.
00:58:30Throw down your weapons and surrender.
00:58:32I swear on my life as a warrior,
00:58:34no harm will come to you.
00:58:36You tell the truth!
00:58:37You fight with honor and righteousness.
00:58:40We're born to protect our homeland,
00:58:41not to die for Irene.
00:58:43I surrender willingly!
00:58:44We surrender!
00:58:45From now on,
00:58:46we're willing to follow you
00:58:47and restore justice for Hera!
00:58:50Your Majesty,
00:58:51thank you for giving me a second chance.
00:58:54I swear on my life,
00:58:55I'll devote everything to you forever.
00:58:58Never betray you.
00:59:02You swore to me that Morak was nothing more than a broken, defeated general.
00:59:07You said he had no courage left.
00:59:10Your Majesty,
00:59:11please calm down and think carefully about this.
00:59:14It's weird.
00:59:15Morlock kept mentioning Hera over and over again.
00:59:17If you ask me,
00:59:18Hera must be the real mastermind behind all of this.
00:59:21No.
00:59:22Is it truly Hera's secretly plotting against me?
00:59:25Think about it, Your Majesty.
00:59:26She once controlled the entire kingdom's military power,
00:59:29stood above everyone.
00:59:30After being stripped of everything and exiled,
00:59:32how could she possibly accept that?
00:59:34That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace.
00:59:37It seems like I was the target,
00:59:39but in reality,
00:59:40she's humiliating the royal and attacking your authority
00:59:43and shaking your throne step by step.
00:59:45Damn her.
00:59:47She can't defeat me openly,
00:59:49so now she hides and plays dirty,
00:59:50letting her followers create chaos,
00:59:53humiliating me,
00:59:54provoking the entire kingdom of Kaeda.
00:59:56Everyone knows Hera's good at winning people over.
00:59:58She tricks soldiers and silizans with fake kindness and pretty words.
01:00:02We absolutely cannot fall for her lies.
01:00:04Must crush her scheme before it's too late.
01:00:06But it's already too late.
01:00:08I let Morlock go to save you,
01:00:10giving him chance to rally all his forces and march south.
01:00:12How are we supposed to stop this war?
01:00:14Don't panic, your majesty.
01:00:16I've already prepared for this.
01:00:17My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City,
01:00:20the only path from the north to the capital.
01:00:22Its defenses are impenetrable,
01:00:23and the supplies are abundant.
01:00:25As long as Stonehold stands,
01:00:27Morrick will never reach the capital city.
01:00:28And my brother's a battle-hard in general.
01:00:31Morlock may be strong,
01:00:33but he's just a brute.
01:00:35There's no way he can break through the defenses.
01:00:37You can rest easy, your majesty.
01:00:42Your majesty!
01:00:43Terrible news from the front lines.
01:00:45Morack's army has completely captured Stonehold City.
01:00:48General Fulton had his neck crushed by Morack.
01:00:57No.
01:00:58That's impossible.
01:00:59My brothers fought in countless battles.
01:01:02Stonehold City was supposed to be impressible.
01:01:04How could it fall so fast?
01:01:06How could he die?
01:01:07Enough, Irene.
01:01:09All your grand lies have mislaid the court
01:01:11and ruined the kingdom's plans.
01:01:12Now Morlock's army has broken through the north
01:01:15and is marching straight for the capital.
01:01:17Tell me, at this point,
01:01:18is there even a way to turn this around?
01:01:24Your majesty,
01:01:25please calm your anger.
01:01:28I have one final plan that can save the kingdom from destruction.
01:01:32Then spit it out.
01:01:34Now.
01:01:34The soldiers in capital are too weak to stop Morlock's hundred thousand elite riders.
01:01:39The only option is to send envoys to the Orkin Empire.
01:01:43Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion.
01:01:49Absolutely not.
01:01:50I will never agree to something this insane.
01:01:53Your majesty,
01:01:54remember my final warning.
01:01:56Never forget it.
01:01:59The Orcs are savage by nature,
01:02:01bloodthirsty and ambitious.
01:02:03They've always coveted the rich lands of Cade.
01:02:06They can never be trusted.
01:02:07I have never forgotten Hera's warning.
01:02:09The Orcs are greedy wolves.
01:02:12Allying with them would be suicidal.
01:02:14It could destroy Cade.
01:02:17Your majesty,
01:02:18this is no time to hesitate.
01:02:20Mordech's army is launching straight for us.
01:02:21He wants your throne.
01:02:23The Orcs only want gold,
01:02:24food,
01:02:25and a small piece of border territory.
01:02:27If paying that price protects your crown and saves all our lives,
01:02:29it's more than worth it.
01:02:32Fine.
01:02:33We've almost reached the dead end.
01:02:35There's no other choice now.
01:02:36I'll take the risk.
01:02:37Rest easy,
01:02:38your majesty.
01:02:38I'll send trusted envoys to the Orc Empire tonight
01:02:41to secure the alliance and get their army as fast as possible.
01:02:59Marshal Hera,
01:03:00the undefeated goddess of war.
01:03:01You're finally here.
01:03:03I've waited day and night for this moment.
01:03:05You have no idea how those snakes in the royal court slandered you,
01:03:09humiliated you,
01:03:09and trampled all over your loyalty in front of the entire palace.
01:03:12I'm clear with everything.
01:03:13You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months.
01:03:16King's blind and Irene controls the court.
01:03:18I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:20But we're warriors to protect the people.
01:03:23No matter what happens,
01:03:24we cannot start a war lightly.
01:03:26Now I need you to order the army to withdraw north.
01:03:29Show the kingdom our sincerity.
01:03:31I'll personally return to the capital
01:03:32and negotiate with the king one last time.
01:03:34If he still insists on dragging the kingdom deeper into ruin,
01:03:38we'll march and take back justice for everyone.
01:03:42Marshal Hera,
01:03:43I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either.
01:03:46I'll follow every order you give
01:03:48without question.
01:03:50My ministers,
01:03:52Morlach has completely taken Stonehold City.
01:03:55His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now.
01:03:58So does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:04:02Amazing.
01:04:03You talk endlessly like genius every day.
01:04:05But now that the kingdom's collapsing,
01:04:08suddenly everyone's silent?
01:04:09Where is my royal guard?
01:04:11Why is there not even one soldier here to protect me?
01:04:14Your majesty,
01:04:14the royal family has already lost the people's support completely.
01:04:18Disasters spread across the kingdom,
01:04:20but the court failed to help the citizens.
01:04:22Then taxes kept rising again and again.
01:04:24The people's anger has reached its limit.
01:04:26At this point,
01:04:27the royal guard exists in name alone.
01:04:32The orcs are probably still days away.
01:04:34There's no army and no general left in the capital.
01:04:36If Morlach attacks now,
01:04:38my throne,
01:04:38my life,
01:04:39my everything are gone.
01:04:42Urgent military report,
01:04:44your majesty.
01:04:45Speak.
01:04:45What happened?
01:04:47Morlach's hundred thousand man army
01:04:49has completely withdrawn.
01:04:51What?
01:04:52They retreated.
01:04:53Why would they suddenly pull back without reasons?
01:04:55I couldn't uncover the reason,
01:04:57your majesty.
01:04:58But I personally saw the entire army break camp
01:05:01and retreat over a hundred miles north.
01:05:06Your majesty.
01:05:08Isn't the answer obvious?
01:05:11My strategy worked perfectly.
01:05:14Just the threat of my preparations alone
01:05:15terrified Morlach so badly
01:05:17that he fled without even fighting.
01:05:23Then would you explain
01:05:24what strategy scared away
01:05:26a hundred thousand elite soldiers overnight?
01:05:29I secretly sent trusted envoys
01:05:31to the orc emperor long ago.
01:05:33The alliance has already been secured.
01:05:36Their elite reinforcements
01:05:38are on the way to the capital as we speak.
01:05:40Morlach must have learned about it
01:05:41and realizes he could never defeat
01:05:43our combined forces.
01:05:44So that's why.
01:05:46Irene's brilliant strategy
01:05:47intimidated the rebels
01:05:48and forced back a hundred thousand enemy troops
01:05:51without sacrificing a single soldier
01:05:53from the capital.
01:05:54Irene,
01:05:55you are the kingdom's greatest killer,
01:05:57my most trusted minister.
01:05:59Your majesty,
01:06:00please reconsider.
01:06:01You cannot make this mistake.
01:06:02It's killing ourselves.
01:06:04They are long coveting our lands.
01:06:05Even the late king
01:06:06personally led the campaign against them
01:06:08and died on the battlefield.
01:06:09That blood feed hasn't been settled.
01:06:11How can you bow your head
01:06:12to our greatest enemy
01:06:13and invite them into our kingdom?
01:06:14You're condemning Cade
01:06:15to destruction with your own hands.
01:06:17Your majesty,
01:06:18think carefully.
01:06:19The orcs are cruel by nature.
01:06:22Once they cross our borders,
01:06:23every town in their path
01:06:24will be burnt and looted.
01:06:26Countless innocent civilians
01:06:27will be slaughtered.
01:06:28The people of Cade
01:06:29will be dragged straight into hell.
01:06:32Is the man on the wall,
01:06:34General Garrick?
01:06:35Open the gate immediately.
01:06:37Your king Moses ordered my army
01:06:39to enter the city,
01:06:40crush the rebels,
01:06:41and capture Morlock.
01:06:45This concerns the safety of the capital
01:06:48and the lives of every citizen inside.
01:06:52I need to verify the royal decree myself
01:06:55before opening the gates.
01:06:56How dare you!
01:06:59You're just a gate commander
01:07:00and you dare disobey your king's orders?
01:07:04Delaying military business alone
01:07:06is enough reason
01:07:06for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:11General! General!
01:07:13Urgent news from the front lines.
01:07:15Morlock's entire army
01:07:16has already withdrawn.
01:07:18The capital's no longer under threat.
01:07:20Commander Gromsh,
01:07:22I've received confirmed military reports.
01:07:25The rebels already retreated north.
01:07:27Your mission here is over.
01:07:29Take your army
01:07:30and return to the old empire immediately.
01:07:33No remain near the capital.
01:07:37You think I marched all this way for nothing?
01:07:40Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:42Warriors attack the city!
01:07:44Burn this capital to the ground!
01:07:46Take whatever you want!
01:07:48Gold, food, treasures, women!
01:07:50Everything inside belongs to you,
01:07:51show no mercy!
01:07:53All troops prepare for battle!
01:07:55Archers, fire!
01:07:57Drop the stones!
01:07:59Pour the oil!
01:08:00Hold the gates!
01:08:05Gromsh!
01:08:06You savage beast!
01:08:08Never trample the capital of Kadei!
01:08:27Kill whoever you want!
01:08:29Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take, enter the city!
01:08:31Loot everything!
01:08:32Burn everything!
01:08:33Kill whoever you want!
01:08:35Take whatever you want!
01:08:36Tonight, we feast!
01:08:45Sergeant!
01:08:46Your Majesty!
01:08:47Gromsh has forcibly breached the main gate!
01:08:49General Garrick, who was defending the capital,
01:08:50has fallen in battle!
01:08:51He died fighting to the end!
01:08:55No, no!
01:08:57That's impossible!
01:08:58Garrick was personally appointed by the late king.
01:09:03He fought through his entire life on the battlefield,
01:09:06and defended this kingdom for decades!
01:09:10How could he just die like that?
01:09:13It's true, Your Majesty!
01:09:15I saw it with my own eyes!
01:09:17General Garrick fought Gromsh alone,
01:09:18and never backed down until the final blow from the axe
01:09:21struck him down on the city wall!
01:09:23The orc army is advancing at full speed!
01:09:25Within half a day, they will reach the palace gates!
01:09:31It's the end!
01:09:32The capital is gone!
01:09:34Who can protect me?
01:09:36Who can save Kade?
01:09:37I don't want to die by those monsters!
01:09:40Your Majesty!
01:09:41The capital has fallen into chaos!
01:09:42Our defenses are collapsing!
01:09:43Our soldiers are dead on the battlefield!
01:09:45And innocent pavilions are being dislaughtered!
01:09:47We're caused by Irene!
01:09:48She invited orc forces into our land!
01:09:50She dragged the entire kingdom into hell!
01:09:52She must be executed immediately!
01:09:53Only her death can crime the people's rage!
01:09:55Execute Irene!
01:09:57Pay for the capital with her life!
01:10:03Your Majesty, please believe me!
01:10:05I never betrayed the kingdom!
01:10:06I only wanted to use the foreign to stabilize the situation and protect you!
01:10:10I am loyal to you!
01:10:12I was misled!
01:10:13I never intended this outcome!
01:10:15Irene!
01:10:16You're nothing but a dirty liar!
01:10:18You deceived the king!
01:10:19You pushed out loyal medicines!
01:10:21You brought foreign beasts into our homeland to slaughter our people!
01:10:25Your crimes are unforgivable!
01:10:27I will end you myself!
01:10:29No!
01:10:30Your Majesty!
01:10:31Save me!
01:10:32Stop him!
01:10:33Don't kill me!
01:10:33I'm still useful!
01:10:39Please!
01:10:40Your Majesty!
01:10:42Spare me!
01:10:43I can still help you!
01:10:45I can serve you with my everything!
01:10:47Irene!
01:10:47There's no way out anymore!
01:10:49The kingdom has reached its end!
01:10:52Only your death can calm everyone's rage!
01:10:55Only then will I have the face to beg Hera to return!
01:10:58Right now she is the only one who can save Cade!
01:11:01Byron!
01:11:03Give me the sword!
01:11:06Your Majesty!
01:11:07What are you doing?
01:11:07No, please!
01:11:08Spare me!
01:11:09I'm loyal to you!
01:11:10I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom!
01:11:12I regret it!
01:11:13I regret ever listening to you!
01:11:16No!
01:11:16Please!
01:11:18I was wrong!
01:11:20I beg you!
01:11:28No!
01:11:33No!
01:11:34No!
01:11:36No!
01:11:37No!
01:11:38No!
01:11:39No!
01:11:39No!
01:11:39No!
01:11:40No!
01:11:41No!
01:11:41No!
01:11:44No!
01:11:45No!
01:11:45No!
01:11:46No!
01:11:47No!
01:11:48No!
01:11:48Hera, are you really going back to the battlefield?
01:11:52To fight Orcs?
01:11:53The whole of Cade is drowning in war and suffering.
01:11:56For every innocent life caught in this chaos, I have no choice.
01:12:01Then come back alive.
01:12:03When you do, I'll give you a big wedding.
01:12:08The Orcs?
01:12:09No way.
01:12:10The Orcs?
01:12:38Your palace is impenetrable.
01:12:41Too late!
01:12:42You were the one who killed the loyal and forced Hera out.
01:12:44Everything happening now is your own doing.
01:12:47You never deserve the throne.
01:12:49You are nothing but a weak and incompetent king.
01:12:53Hera, I was wrong.
01:12:55I was truly wrong.
01:12:56Your majesty.
01:12:57The situation is hopeless.
01:12:59I'll hold them off while you flee at once.
01:13:02I am the king of Cade.
01:13:05How can a king run away?
01:13:07I won't leave.
01:13:09Your majesty.
01:13:11Your majesty, please.
01:13:11Leave now or it's too late.
01:13:18There's nowhere left to run.
01:13:20Cade's over today.
01:13:21Cade's over today.
01:13:23I will protect the king to my last blest.
01:13:50I will protect the king to my last blest.
01:13:55Thorn, I'm sorry.
01:13:57I should have listened to you.
01:13:59Your majesty.
01:14:00Don't say that.
01:14:01Run.
01:14:02Only you can save Cade.
01:14:10In our old empire, we have a punishment for foreign kings.
01:14:15It's called Forsaken Prisoner.
01:14:19Bring the chains and the collar.
01:14:22Let him be humiliated by a slave.
01:14:28Kill me.
01:14:29Just kill me.
01:14:30I'd rather die than be humiliated like this.
01:14:33Please.
01:14:34Death?
01:14:35Not yet.
01:14:37Crawl.
01:14:38Show everyone what the king has become.
