Short filmTranscript
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, alright?
00:00:37No, we need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:53Excuse me, do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:57Please, sir. My son's birthday is today.
00:01:00He's always wanted a sweet cake. Even just a small piece.
00:01:03Out! Go buy your scraps at the end of the street.
00:01:09Ethan, you'll have sweet cakes for his birthday today. I promise.
00:01:16Get out of the way!
00:01:22Get 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.
00:02:35The injuries are severe. You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:39Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:42Open the portal!
00:02:43Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:52The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:55The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan!
00:03:00My soul!
00:03:02Oh, God.
00:03:09Desperate child.
00:03:31And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:54I swear it.
00:04:21Ethan, father will find you.
00:04:21Ethan, father will find you.
00:04:57My lord.
00:05:00Ethan, you have become the greatest mage in the kingdom.
00:05:03From this day forward, you are the new Grand Commander of the Legion.
00:05:06Father, the Legion is in good hands.
00:05:08Please, go and rest.
00:05:13This is the construction plan for the Frost Village training camp.
00:05:17Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:21But I worry about you.
00:05:24Go.
00:05:25Frost Village is your home.
00:05:27This once hung around your neck.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:30All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:33Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:35Go now.
00:05:36Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:41Father and I had it made into a pendant, just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:55Ethan, where are you?
00:05:57I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy, wonderful news.
00:06:01The most wonderful news.
00:06:04Victor, is it Ethan?
00:06:06Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:11Ethan?
00:06:13Why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:15The Royal Magic Legion is building a new training camp in the Northern Territory.
00:06:19All 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?
00:06:32That's right.
00:06:37No, we can't.
00:06:39If our house is gone,
00:06:41Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:43I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:53Welcome, Commander.
00:06:56Commander,
00:06:57the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:06:59There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:02Shall we...
00:07:03force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions.
00:07:07I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:23Have 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.
00:07:43Your 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!
00:07:59Get out of my sight!
00:08:00No.
00:08:01Ethan isn't dead.
00:08:02He's not.
00:08:03Out of the way!
00:08:17Strange.
00:08:18The boy in this portrait looks just like I did as a child.
00:08:33Sam, my brother in arms.
00:08:34Let me handle this one alone.
00:08:36Commander Aldrich sent me to assist you.
00:08:37He believes Lord Garrett, Governor of the Northern Territory, is trouble.
00:08:42Then find out where this plan came from.
00:08:45I'll arrange it at once.
00:08:46Wait here for my news.
00:08:47I'm going to Frost Village myself.
00:08:49Contact me the moment you have something.
00:08:50Understood.
00:08:52Portals won't do for the road ahead.
00:08:53Find me a carriage.
00:09:11I'm going to do for the road ahead.
00:09:23Mom, Mom!
00:09:25Father, Mother, are you here?
00:09:28It's been 20 years.
00:09:30Have you been alright?
00:09:32Ethan, today is your 25th birthday.
00:09:36Where are you?
00:09:38I miss you so much.
00:09:42Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:46Nothing yet.
00:09:47But Ethan turns 25 today.
00:09:50Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:52Yes.
00:09:54Maybe he's married by now.
00:09:57Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:00If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next.
00:10:03If not the next, until I search the whole world.
00:10:06Ethan is coming back.
00:10:09He will.
00:10:10Now, no more tears.
00:10:13Victor is coming today.
00:10:14They haven't visited in years.
00:10:16Why come today, of all days, on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:18Perhaps they miss him too.
00:10:32Ethan.
00:10:35I have a pony!
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier.
00:10:41Ha!
00:10:51Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:05Commander, your disguise, as requested.
00:11:09Good.
00:11:10Exactly what I need to stay low.
00:11:13Where 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.
00:11:24Fine.
00:11:25Let him try.
00:11:26I'll walk around.
00:11:27Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:31Garrett cannot be trusted.
00:11:32I need to see for myself.
00:11:43Mama!
00:11:44Mama!
00:11:47This place.
00:11:48It feels so familiar.
00:11:50I've been here before.
00:11:58Victor, welcome.
00:12:00Come in.
00:12:01Enough pleasanties.
00:12:02My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:06Sign this.
00:12:0750 gold coins, up front.
00:12:09No.
00:12:10This is Ethan's home.
00:12:12If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:15That's right.
00:12:16We stay and wait for our son.
00:12:2050 gold coins and you still won't sign?
00:12:22Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:25I don't want money.
00:12:27I want my son.
00:12:29Don't push your luck!
00:12:30No, Steve!
00:12:31An ice crystal crest formed of magic?
00:12:36Where did you get this?
00:12:37Did you steal it?
00:12:38No!
00:12:38You can't take that.
00:12:39It's how I'll find my Ethan.
00:12:40Want the crest?
00:12:41Kneel and beg.
00:12:42Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:43You go too far!
00:12:47Thomas!
00:12:50Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:04That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:07Please!
00:13:09Please!
00:13:10Look at her!
00:13:12She's actually kneeling for some boy who may be dead!
00:13:17Give it back.
00:13:20I'll give it back.
00:13:21Sign first.
00:13:26Come on!
00:13:30Could this be?
00:13:31Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:40No!
00:13:41I will not give up our home!
00:13:44Then, I smash it.
00:13:46Stop!
00:13:47The crest is the only way Ethan will know me.
00:13:50If I lose it, I'll never find my son again.
00:13:54All right.
00:13:54I'll sign.
00:13:55Then crawl over here to do it.
00:14:02Good heavens!
00:14:04All that for a pathetic brat!
00:14:07What can she do?
00:14:08It's her only chance at finding that wretch.
00:14:13Now, give it back to me.
00:14:16Want it?
00:14:17Crawl over and beg.
00:14:30Please, give it back.
00:14:32Please, give it back.
00:14:33I told you.
00:14:34Just sign the notice.
00:14:36Why make things hard?
00:14:38You promised.
00:14:39You defied me.
00:14:41You chose that cursed brat.
00:14:43This is the price.
00:14:44You will never see him.
00:14:46Never!
00:14:47No!
00:14:48No!
00:14:51I'll make sure you can never find that bastard.
00:14:54Please, stop!
00:14:54Not for the rest of your life.
00:15:01That pattern.
00:15:03Still defying me?
00:15:05Then die!
00:15:23What a dramatic entrance.
00:15:25It's just a grimy blacksmith.
00:15:27Mind your own business or I'll beat you too.
00:15:29You'd strike someone?
00:15:30Bold of you.
00:15:32Legion code forbids the use of force against civilians.
00:15:35Did you forget every word of it?
00:15:38What does a blacksmith know about the law?
00:15:53Wake up, Thomas.
00:15:54What do we do?
00:16:01Are you all right?
00:16:02I'm fine.
00:16:04Marcus was forcing me to sign the eviction notice.
00:16:08This man stopped him.
00:16:12So you clearly know Legion law.
00:16:15I beg you, help us further.
00:16:17That eviction notice was signed under duress.
00:16:20You signed it!
00:16:20No taking it back!
00:16:22Please, sir.
00:16:24We cannot lose this house.
00:16:26We have to stay and wait for our son.
00:16:29I will see that justice is done.
00:16:32You have my word.
00:16:40Could they really be?
00:16:43Where did you get that ice crystal crest?
00:16:46My son made it when he was young.
00:16:48The first time he ever used magic.
00:16:51He's been gone for 20 years.
00:16:52Father and I had it made into a pendant just for years.
00:17:14Ethan.
00:17:16You, you're my Ethan.
00:17:19This isn't a dream.
00:17:23It isn't.
00:17:25My son is home.
00:17:27Father, mother.
00:17:28I've been gone for so long.
00:17:30I've made you search so hard.
00:17:33Forgive me.
00:17:36As long as you're home, nothing else matters.
00:17:39Your brat is back.
00:17:41This isn't worth celebrating.
00:17:44Right.
00:17:44He's just a blacksmith who hammers plows.
00:17:49Today I am reunited with my parents.
00:17:52I will not let the likes of you ruin it.
00:17:54Get out.
00:17:55Big talk.
00:17:56Do you know who my son is?
00:17:58He's a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division of the Legion.
00:18:01A man with a future.
00:18:07You're in the Legion?
00:18:09Who is your superior?
00:18:12What's wrong?
00:18:13Never heard of Lord Garret?
00:18:15Governor of the Northern Territory?
00:18:17I suppose a backwell peasant like you wouldn't know your betters.
00:18:19Marcus was kind to even teach you Lord Garret's name.
00:18:22He's just a governor.
00:18:24One word from me and he'll come crawling.
00:18:30How dare you!
00:18:31Who do you think you are, huh?
00:18:34Don't you know?
00:18:35Lord Garret runs this entire territory.
00:18:38What would a common blacksmith know?
00:18:39My son is strong.
00:18:41He belongs in the Legion.
00:18:43And Lord Garret pries him above all others.
00:18:45You ignorant fool.
00:18:47My beloved is Lord Garret's own confidant.
00:18:49Do you understand what that means?
00:18:52It means I can do whatever I want here.
00:18:56They hold no respect for the law.
00:18:59They treat the Legion's code like nothing.
00:19:01What do we do?
00:19:02We can't fight them.
00:19:04No.
00:19:05You can't!
00:19:07You are a Legion soldier.
00:19:08You were sworn to protect the people.
00:19:10Look at what you're doing.
00:19:11Protect them?
00:19:12Should we carry lowbron filth on our backs?
00:19:14What use are you?
00:19:15You bring nothing but shame to your parents.
00:19:17My Ethan is a fine man.
00:19:19Fine?
00:19:20A blacksmith's life is worth nothing.
00:19:22Ethan, beg us.
00:19:23Maybe Marcus can find you some work in the Legion.
00:19:25Beg you?
00:19:26You're not worth it.
00:19:28Don't get proud, Ethan.
00:19:30Kneel down and lick the mud off my boot.
00:19:32Do that, and I'll consider it.
00:19:34Oh, Marcus, how generous.
00:19:37Let me think.
00:19:38What works it to you?
00:19:39Scrubbing latrins?
00:19:42You've gone far enough!
00:19:44Kneel and you get a job.
00:19:45We're not lying!
00:19:46Kneel before you.
00:19:48Not a chance.
00:19:52What is this blacksmith going on about?
00:19:54My son is Captain of the Legion Honor Guard
00:19:58and Deputy Commander of the Ceremonial Escort.
00:20:00I have a dozen soldiers under me.
00:20:02Every one of them an elite fighter.
00:20:05We're only holding back because you're family.
00:20:07Count yourselves lucky.
00:20:08Marcus has too much power.
00:20:10We can't fight him.
00:20:12I won't let Ethan get hurt.
00:20:13Today is a good day.
00:20:15No more fighting.
00:20:16I've made sweet cakes and stew.
00:20:20Let us sit and eat.
00:20:22This slob?
00:20:23My pigs eat better than this.
00:20:25Father, they're hiding the good stuff somewhere.
00:20:29Move!
00:20:50Happy birthday, Ethan.
00:21:02This is our son's birthday gift.
00:21:04Every year we prepare a birthday gift.
00:21:06Birthday gift?
00:21:07How pitiful.
00:21:07Give it back!
00:21:08Worthless old woman!
00:21:09Stop!
00:21:10Gutter trash!
00:21:13Get out!
00:21:14You are not welcome here!
00:21:16How dare you speak to me that way!
00:21:25Please, don't crush it!
00:21:27Please, I beg you!
00:21:31Kneel.
00:21:33Pick up every piece.
00:21:35Fix it.
00:21:36Then kneel and beg my parents for forgiveness.
00:21:38Refuse, and I will make you pay back a hundredfold.
00:21:43Ethan, have you hammered your brain to scrap?
00:21:46This house is no longer yours.
00:21:50You're nothing but a pack of homeless strays.
00:21:56What the hell?
00:21:57Why is it suddenly so cold?
00:22:02Quaking in your boots, old man?
00:22:04Worried your son's about to die?
00:22:05I'll say this once more.
00:22:07Kneel.
00:22:08Apologize.
00:22:09Now, before you regret this.
00:22:11A threat?
00:22:12You don't scare me.
00:22:14Look at this.
00:22:15Cost me a hundred gold coins.
00:22:17This can summon a beast more powerful than any mage.
00:22:20You don't stand a chance.
00:22:21Count yourselves lucky to have this beast be the last thing you see.
00:22:25A Karin Bist summoning stone?
00:22:27Five copper bends at the Legion supply depot.
00:22:30You paid a hundred gold for that trash?
00:22:32What a fool.
00:22:33How dare you?
00:22:34Think you'll survive this?
00:22:35Legion Prohibition.
00:22:36Article 42.
00:22:37The untrauthorized possession and summoning of aggressive beasts in civilian zones is forbidden.
00:22:42Violation results in permanent discharge and life-inquisition.
00:22:45You quote the law at me?
00:22:47I am the law here!
00:22:49You're all Lubon filth.
00:22:51Every last one of you could die and the Legion wouldn't blink.
00:23:11What do we do?
00:23:12No.
00:23:13My Ethan is here.
00:23:15I will not retreat.
00:23:17Ethan, run!
00:23:22Don't be afraid, son.
00:23:24Your mother and I will hold it back.
00:23:26Just run.
00:23:28I won't leave you.
00:23:30Not when we just found each other.
00:23:35Child.
00:23:37To have you as the last thing I see is enough.
00:23:42I just wish I had the chance to watch you grow.
00:23:53Enough of this touching reunion.
00:23:55No one leaves here alive!
00:23:58Why weep over a blacksmith who's worthless?
00:24:02Ethan.
00:24:03No matter who you've become, you are still your father's pride.
00:24:10Father.
00:24:11Mother.
00:24:13I promise you.
00:24:15No one will harm you today.
00:24:17Still boasting.
00:24:21Take him down!
00:24:23No!
00:24:23No!
00:24:33No!
00:24:37No!
00:24:39No!
00:24:40No!
00:24:41No!
00:24:43No!
00:24:56What's wrong with you?
00:24:57Attack!
00:25:11Where is it?
00:25:13Where did the beast go?
00:25:14Hey!
00:25:16You useless creature!
00:25:18Get out here!
00:25:19My hundred gold coins!
00:25:22Why?
00:25:23Doesn't nobody like him have magic?
00:25:26Impossible.
00:25:29Three hundred years and not one ice maid in the whole empire!
00:25:34How can such a long dead power appear in this wretch?
00:25:40I know what this is.
00:25:42Dark magic.
00:25:44Forbidden black magic!
00:25:45Forbidden black magic!
00:25:45So that's where you've been all these years?
00:25:48Walking a cursed path?
00:25:50Ethan!
00:25:51You sold your soul for this filth?
00:25:53No!
00:25:55No!
00:25:55My son is not that kind of man!
00:25:58Stop making excuses!
00:26:00Your son is finished!
00:26:02Dark magic is punishable by death!
00:26:05My love!
00:26:07My love!
00:26:07Come quickly!
00:26:08There's a heretic using black magic!
00:26:10Hurry!
00:26:11What?
00:26:11I'm on my way!
00:26:13Hear that?
00:26:15Sienna is coming!
00:26:16She's Lord Garrett's own confidant!
00:26:19You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:34You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:37The legion will not tolerate this!
00:26:42My love!
00:26:43You're here!
00:26:45This wretch killed my beast with magic!
00:26:48He tried to kill me!
00:26:50Someone laid a hand on my man in the Northern Territory!
00:26:54I'll make him pay!
00:26:56You're finished, Crociana!
00:26:59And you crossed the entire Northern Legion!
00:27:03What are you smiling at?
00:27:05You think you're walking out of here alive?
00:27:07You're the one who hurt my man?
00:27:09Lowborn filth!
00:27:12I'll make sure you beg to die!
00:27:23Careful, my love!
00:27:24He disguises the black magic as ice magic to deceive people!
00:27:27There has been no Ice Macer in this kingdom for 300 years!
00:27:31And you thought you could fake it?
00:27:33Fool!
00:27:33Your ignorance only shows how low you rank in the Legion!
00:27:36You've never had access to the top!
00:27:38How dare you!
00:27:39Lord Garrett himself says my word is law here!
00:27:43I have the power to execute filth like you!
00:27:47Is that what Lord Garrett teaches you to do?
00:27:49You lowborn animal!
00:27:51How dare you speak his name so freely!
00:27:54Is he so great?
00:27:55Then I'll have him come to me right now!
00:28:02Garrett!
00:28:03Come!
00:28:04Now!
00:28:09Garrett!
00:28:10Come!
00:28:11Now!
00:28:17Assemble the full guard!
00:28:18Move!
00:28:19With me!
00:28:21Heh!
00:28:22Practicing dark magic is a capital offense!
00:28:26Arrest them all!
00:28:27Take them to the dungeon!
00:28:28They face execution!
00:28:30Father, mother, don't be afraid.
00:28:32I'll protect you.
00:28:34Once they're dead, that 50 gold settlement is all ours!
00:28:42I can't fight here.
00:28:44I won't destroy the house.
00:28:45This is the home my parents guarded their whole lives.
00:28:47I'll go with you.
00:28:49I'll go with you.
00:28:50But my parents stay.
00:28:51No!
00:28:51If you go with them, you'll die!
00:28:53Don't worry.
00:28:54We're your mother and father.
00:28:56We'll protect you.
00:28:57Ha!
00:28:58Lost your nerve?
00:28:59Where's all that big talk now?
00:29:01Fine.
00:29:02Those two old wrecks won't last much longer anyway.
00:29:11Father, mother.
00:29:12Don't worry.
00:29:14I'll be back soon.
00:29:16Ethan!
00:29:17Ethan!
00:29:17Honour his feteal devotion then.
00:29:20Trade your lives for his.
00:29:22Ha!

00:29:31Ha!
00:29:32Ha!
00:29:34Where is he?
00:29:36Tall, handsome, dressed in rough cloth and a leather apron.
00:29:38Where did he go?
00:29:39Your men took him.
00:29:41They said they were taking him to the wasteland for execution.
00:29:44Please save my son!
00:29:45Ex...
00:29:47Execution?
00:29:50Execution?
00:29:54Thomas, what do we do?
00:29:56Don't panic.
00:29:57Remember?
00:29:58Ethan was betrothed as a child.
00:30:01You mean Isabella's family?
00:30:02They were as poor as us back then, but they've grown rich.
00:30:05Frost Village wealthiest family.
00:30:07They cut ties with us years ago.
00:30:09They're our last hope.
00:30:11Perhaps they will save Ethan for old times sake.
00:30:15We need a house for years.
00:30:17We can stay within the room.
00:30:28We're all alone.
00:30:28Choose quite the place to die.
00:30:30Any last words?
00:30:37Ethan, kneel nicely and I might make it quick.

00:55:43Grand Commander, Ethan!
00:55:44A magical barrier needs your magical energy!
00:55:48Father, mother, wait just a little longer.
00:55:49Once the barrier's restored, I'll come straight back.
00:55:51Go, child, we'll be here.
00:55:54Begin restoring the barrier.
00:55:56Now.
00:56:04Commander!
00:56:06Please channel your energy!
00:56:18Father, are we just going to wait while they repair it?
00:56:21Ethan, you will not win.
00:56:23You insist on stripping me of my governorship.
00:56:26I'll burn the Northern Territory to the ground before I give it up.
00:56:29Release me, now!
00:56:32Commander, we cannot lift our hands from the ground until the barrier's restored.
00:56:36Not one thread of magical energy can escape.
00:56:39If it does, everything is lost.
00:56:45We are safe.
00:56:47The repair circle protects those channeling it.
00:56:50Is that so?
00:56:52And what about those two?
00:56:58Let's see how lucky you are this time.
00:57:08Commander!
00:57:09Don't let go!
00:57:11Without the barrier, the entire Northern Territory will...
00:57:16So what?
00:57:17Peasants and commoners.
00:57:19Worthless.
00:57:21If they die, they die.
00:57:24Exactly.
00:57:25We are nobility.
00:57:27Superior by birth.
00:57:30Commander!
00:57:30300,000 commoners live here.
00:57:34The loved ones of soldiers.
00:57:36The Legion.
00:57:37Who doesn't have loved ones?
00:57:39Think of the sacrifice your parents made to protect you.
00:57:42Can you really bear to let them die?
00:57:56It's all right, Ethan.
00:57:57We'd never blame you.
00:57:59This is the right choice.
00:58:02We're proud of you.
00:58:04Silence, old man!
00:58:07My poison dagger.
00:58:09This venom makes a man feel every cut before he dies.
00:58:13Ethan, remember, all of this is your fault.
00:58:34Are you insane?
00:58:36You dare betray me?
00:58:37You broke your oath first.
00:58:39You swore you wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:58:40He never truly meant to harm me.
00:58:43Sam was only led astray.
00:58:45Sam, you brought this on yourself, every bit of it.
00:58:48Sam!
00:58:49You did the right thing!
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51I made the right choice.
00:58:53You believe his lies?
00:58:55Fool!
00:58:56Every man who reaches the top has blood on his hands.
00:58:59That's why you'll never be Ethan's equal!
00:59:02Useless!
00:59:08You are the brother I trust.
00:59:14You'll always be worthless.
00:59:39Father!
00:59:40Arrest Northern Territory Gover Garrett and his son Fitz. Take them to prison at once.
00:59:45Have them confess every crime, one by one.
00:59:50You know what to do with those who refuse.
00:59:53Ethan, listen to me! My family has money! I'll give you whatever you want! Take it all!
00:59:58This was all my father's doing! None of it was me!
01:00:07Get them to the healer! Now!
01:00:13You.
01:00:19Kamada.
01:00:31Commander. Thank you for saving the Northern Territory.
01:00:36It was my duty.
01:00:38No. You made a great sacrifice. We are grateful.
01:00:42Commander. My parents live by the city wall. If the beasts had broken through, they would have been the first
01:00:48to die.
01:00:49You saved our families. We owe you our lives.
01:00:55Yes. We are all wall guards. Without you, every one of my brothers would have died.
01:00:59Rise. On behalf of the Legion, I thank you for your service, day after day.
01:01:24Ethan!
01:01:26Mother!
01:01:29What happened? Where am I?
01:01:32You lost too much blood and fainted. The Commander healed you with magic. You're safe now.
01:01:36He has some old ailments. He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:42Ethan.
01:01:44The King wishes to see all of you.
01:01:50Lucy.
01:01:51Thomas.
01:01:52You have shown courage and kindness.
01:01:54You were willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the people of the Northern Territory.
01:01:58The Kingdom of Floria is moon honored to have subjects such as you.
01:02:01Therefore, I hereby forstow upon Thomas the title of Earl, and upon Lucy the title of Countess.
01:02:08Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:11Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:12Legion Deputy Commander Sam.
01:02:20Sam, you betrayed the Legion, injured your commander, and dealt a blow to the Legion's honor.
01:02:25However, on account of your remorse and service in rescuing the Earl and Countess, the Tribunal has weighed your crimes
01:02:31and judged them cleared.
01:02:33Effective today, you are relieved of all duties.
01:02:38Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:43Ethan.
01:02:46I am here.
01:02:49You were fearless in the face of death, and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:02:55You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:02:59It was only my duty.
01:03:03I hereby declare, my most precious daughter, Princess Rowena, shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:09It is my honor to wed the Princess.
01:03:11I hereby swear, so long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory, no war shall ever reach the hem
01:03:17of Your Highness's gown.
01:03:18One final matter.
01:03:19I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward, Crown Prince of the Kingdom.
01:03:32This is as far as you go.
01:03:34Your parents are waiting for you.
01:03:36Are you truly leaving?
01:03:37Stay and think it over.
01:03:39The Legion needs you.
01:03:43Not after what I've done.
01:03:44We fought side by side, and I nearly destroyed their families.
01:03:49They wouldn't want to see me.
01:03:51But in the end you still-
01:03:52Ethan.
01:03:53I'm going out to find myself.
01:03:55Train.
01:03:56Maybe one day I'll come back stronger than you.
01:03:58Very well.
01:04:00I'll be here waiting for your challenge.
01:04:02Perhaps I will be the one to claim victory.
01:04:05I won't hold back.
01:04:07I'll be waiting.
01:04:21Ethan?
01:04:22Father.
01:04:23Mother.
01:04:24Are you alright? I was worried about you.
01:04:26I'm fine.
01:04:26I'm just happy.
01:04:27From now on we will never be separated again.
01:04:30Yes.
01:04:30Our family will always be together.
01:04:33Always.
01:04:33.
