00:00:04Oh no, they're on us! Warriors, do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:19Gods, help me! I was a fool! I should have listened to Hera! I should never have led the campaign!
00:00:25Never set foot in the Orc Empire!
00:00:35Poor Bugs!
00:00:50Hera!
00:00:52Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:11The gods are punishing me. Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name
00:01:19that would outlive me and nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin.
00:01:22Your Majesty, just save your strength. You need to stay alive.
00:01:28My time's over. Moses is too young, too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone.
00:01:34Your Majesty...
00:01:35Then hear my final command. Guide him. Protect him. Don't let Cade fall.
00:01:41Moses...
00:01:42Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Cade, this kingdom will never
00:01:47fall. Listen to her. You're bound together by your engagement. Rule this land side by side.
00:01:53Father, I swear it. I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the
00:02:01king this kingdom needs.
00:02:02The gods' power isn't endless. But for Moses, for Cade, I'll give everything I have.
00:02:10Good. Good.
00:02:14Father! Father!
00:02:18Long live the king!
00:02:23Rise.
00:02:24Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:30of Cade grew stronger with each passing day.
00:02:32But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds and slowly drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:40Your Majesty! Urgent news from the border! The Orc Empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:47Those beasts dare invade Cade? Who will drive them back for me?
00:02:52I'll lead the army, drown the border in their blood and bring peace back to Cade.
00:03:01Hera, I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you. When you return victorious, I'll honor our
00:03:08engagement.
00:03:09I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony this kingdom has ever seen.
00:03:13My king, I won't fail you.
00:03:19Poor humans! You dare stand in the way of the Orc Empire? Today every last one of you die!
00:03:33The scepter of light! You're carrying the relic!
00:03:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha! So your godly power has limits after all. Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's
00:03:48last godsworn! Crush the woman-guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:55Full back!
00:04:06In the gods' name, god full Ashgrave!
00:04:13You witch-trust woman will return! And when we do, how will you alone stand against my million-strong tide
00:04:21of beasts?
00:04:33Commander! Dear god! You're gravely wounded! I'll get a healer right now! Just hang on!
00:04:41I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:48Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course! Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cady's history!
00:05:06Your Majesty.
00:05:09Hera.
00:05:15Hera!
00:05:16Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty.
00:05:24What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war.
00:05:29And you still dare question me?
00:05:31One border war dragged on for three whole years!
00:05:35You had the power of the gods, yet countless Cady'd soldiers still died.
00:05:39Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war, food and weapons.
00:05:42You nearly bled this kingdom dry, and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:46Your Majesty. That was a million-beast horde. Even a godsworn has limits.
00:05:51He's right! Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already!
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the godsworn. Someone with her power should have ended the war long ago.
00:05:59The only reason it dragged on is because she wanted it to.
00:06:02She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:06What exactly were you plotting?
00:06:08Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people.
00:06:12I nearly gave my life for this victory.
00:06:14Enough! Shut your mouth!
00:06:15As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent.
00:06:18Irene will take your place.
00:06:20She understands strategy and politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:23Irene has never led an army. She knows nothing about war or governance.
00:06:27Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's brain with your own hands.
00:06:30How dare you? You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Neil!
00:06:38Your majesty, please reconsider her. Hera slid blood for this kingdom!
00:06:43You can't treat her like this!
00:06:45Treasonous fool! You dare oppose the king's command?
00:06:48Guards! Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances.
00:06:55Now there are only two left.
00:06:57When they're gone, so am I.
00:07:02As you command.
00:07:04Hera.
00:07:06I made this for you myself.
00:07:08It carries my heart with it.
00:07:10In this life, I'll only ever love you.
00:07:13As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:16I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever.
00:07:19Without you, this crown means nothing to me.
00:07:22You're my only light, my only love.
00:07:25Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes, my king.
00:07:29Yes, my king.
00:07:30I'd give everything for you too.
00:07:32This world only worships winners.
00:07:35Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:39You gambled everything on the battlefield, but the real war is fought on the throne.
00:07:44And you already lost.
00:07:46I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom.
00:07:50My wounds reopen every night.
00:07:52I cough blood in silence.
00:07:55Yet he never noticed.
00:07:57Never cared.
00:07:58That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:08Commander.
00:08:09We fought through hell to save this kingdom, and this is how they repay you.
00:08:14Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:19Power is just dust.
00:08:21It never mattered to me.
00:08:23Commander, the king's betrayed everyone.
00:08:25You gave everything to Cade, and this is what you got in return?
00:08:29To hell with that king!
00:08:30Commander, let's rebel!
00:08:32Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours!
00:08:36Enough!
00:08:39Commander, we don't care about power or glory.
00:08:42We just want to protect Cade.
00:08:44To protect the people under under god's blessing.
00:08:47Commander, the king's blind, and the court's full of vipers!
00:08:51A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the gods!
00:08:54That's enough. Get up.
00:08:56The late king raised me from nothing and entrusted this kingdom to me.
00:09:00Before he died, he placed Cade and Moses in my hands.
00:09:04I swore on the gods that I would never betray this kingdom.
00:09:08Never rebel.
00:09:09Commander, but the king...
00:09:10Enough!
00:09:11Never speak of this again!
00:09:15Commander, the queen mother summons you, immediately.
00:09:26Your Grace.
00:09:27Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you.
00:09:30You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up here all because Moses is young and stupid.
00:09:35I've already reprimanded him, and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:38Please don't worry about me, your majesty.
00:09:41The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne.
00:09:44Everything I did was my duty.
00:09:46I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:52It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:09:58I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:10:00The late king swore this oath before the gods.
00:10:02It cannot be changed.
00:10:04If that is the will of the queen mother and the late king, then I will obey.
00:10:09Hera, you are the pillar of Cade.
00:10:10This kingdom owes you.
00:10:12Only with you beside Moses can Cade remain under the gods' protection.
00:10:17Commander.
00:10:19If this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother.
00:10:22You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:23I've known the king almost my whole life.
00:10:25And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:41Commander!
00:10:43If you're angry, take it out on me!
00:10:46Even if I'm to die, I won't blame you!
00:10:52Hera!
00:10:53You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:55I swear by the gods.
00:10:57I never touched her. I would never hurt her.
00:11:00I saw it with my own eyes.
00:11:02And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:05Please calm down, your majesty.
00:11:07Don't blame the commander.
00:11:08It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:10Hera!
00:11:10I deserve punishment.
00:11:12If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it!
00:11:17Hera!
00:11:18I order you to apologize to Irene right now!
00:11:20I did nothing wrong.
00:11:22Why should I apologize?
00:11:24Dare you disobey me!
00:11:25Guards!
00:11:26Drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:45Hera!
00:11:45That was incredible!
00:11:47Teach me!
00:11:48Come here.
00:11:49I'll show you.
00:11:51Calm your mind.
00:11:52Keep your arms steady.
00:11:53Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:11:56That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:01Hera!
00:12:01You're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:04When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:07I'll stay by your side forever, and make you the happiest woman in Cade.
00:12:17Brother, stop!
00:12:18She's the pillar of this kingdom.
00:12:20You can't treat her like this.
00:12:23Cain!
00:12:24You dare defy me too?
00:12:26You want punishment as well?
00:12:28Hera spent her whole life fighting for Cade.
00:12:31She drove back the orcs and protected this kingdom.
00:12:33She's blessed by the gods.
00:12:34How can you treat her this way?
00:12:36And I saw everything clearly.
00:12:37It was Rean.
00:12:38She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:43Guards!
00:12:44Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers.
00:12:46He is confined till further notice.
00:12:52Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods.
00:12:58Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:02Your command over the armies is revoked, and the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be
00:13:06taken back immediately.
00:13:15As you command.
00:13:17One hundred chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:33Moses!
00:13:36That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:40It represents honor and faith.
00:13:42Taking it back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:46Don't worry, mother.
00:13:47I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:49Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone.
00:13:53You stripped her power and took her crest.
00:13:56How will you face her afterward?
00:13:57Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera.
00:14:01Not me!
00:14:03If I don't crush her influence before the wedding, this kingdom will belong to her instead of me.
00:14:10Then make them know you.
00:14:14It's fine, mother.
00:14:15She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:17Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit.
00:14:21Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:24Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:27Don't worry.
00:14:28She's obeyed me for years.
00:14:29The gods bound us together.
00:14:31And besides, I don't want a legendary commander feared across the world.
00:14:35I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:37You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:39Besides, after her last campaign, her body's already broken.
00:14:42Taking away her command is for her own good.
00:14:43She needs rest.
00:14:44You're grown now.
00:14:46Just remember to control your decisions anymore.
00:14:49Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:52That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:02Your Majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:06Let her in.
00:15:13The gods have blessed you, Your Majesty.
00:15:16Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king.
00:15:20I'm glad to see it.
00:15:23Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom.
00:15:26Your wounds are severe.
00:15:28Now that you've stepped down as commander,
00:15:30just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:33Before I leave the palace,
00:15:35this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, Your Majesty!
00:15:43The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:15:45They want peace talks!
00:15:47Guards!
00:15:48Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:50Approved.
00:15:50You may leave now.
00:15:52Hera, I know you've suffered lately.
00:15:54We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:16:00Your Majesty.
00:16:02There's no after this anymore.
00:16:05There's no after this anymore.
00:16:08There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera! Are you hurt?
00:16:25I'm fine. It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's not nothing. To me, you matter more than the throne, more than this kingdom, more than anything in
00:16:35this world.
00:16:39From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:16:51Hera, come home safe. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:17:00Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:06Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods, I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:22This world is vast enough that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:33May the gods bless them! The king is finally marrying Commander Hera!
00:17:38What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:40I heard she lost her title, her army, even her sacred Christ. Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:47You don't understand. The king just wants her to put down her sword and live peacefully beside him. It's out
00:17:51of love.
00:17:52I see. Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:04Your majesty, we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:08What nerve!
00:18:09The king himself arrives, dare you not come greet him? This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:14Don't blame her. She's been hurt lately. I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:21What's wrong? Where's Hera?
00:18:25Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:38Stop!
00:18:45Your majesty!
00:18:47Tell me where Hera is! Answer honestly!
00:18:50Your majesty!
00:18:52Lady Hera left the capital the day she surrendered the sacred crest! I have no idea where she went either!
00:19:02What?!
00:19:03No! That's impossible! You're lying! Hera swore to my father she'd take me protect Cade! She swore before the gods!
00:19:09She would never leave me!
00:19:09Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you!
00:19:13Insolence! How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty!
00:19:17Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine!
00:19:22Your majesty, I swear by the gods, Lady Hera truly left the capital! Before she left, she ordered me to
00:19:29throw away all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:31Hera, these night bracelets were offered by the Lord of the Eastern Territories! I saved them especially for you!
00:19:37Wear them, like I'm always by your side, protecting me!
00:19:41I love them. I'll treasure them forever!
00:19:44Old belongings...
00:19:45Could she mean... all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?!
00:19:51Over there! Half of them have already burned!
00:19:59No! Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:11Hera, look! This is our vow parchment! It says, I'll love Hera forever and we'll never be apart!
00:20:18Yes, we'll be together forever, never apart!
00:20:26When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting!
00:20:31Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it!
00:20:37Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:40Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:45Mercy, your majesty! I swear by the gods! I didn't know those belonged to the royal family!
00:20:50Please spare me!
00:20:52You can't do this! He didn't know!
00:20:54Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:20:56What? You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant.
00:21:01If she hears about this, what will she think of you?
00:21:03Right. She just left. She can't have gone far yet! I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:09Hera no longer holds any office. You have no right to force her back.
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancé. I have every right to bring her
00:21:20back.
00:21:22Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom.
00:21:26That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods. A crime worthy of death.
00:21:32Exactly! Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:37Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word?
00:21:41Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:45Cain! Are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare.
00:21:49Enough! Get out! I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:56And you... Do you think this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not! This is all Hera's doing. She's manipulated everyone around her.
00:22:05She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers. That's why he keeps defending her.
00:22:11I knew it! Cain must have feelings for Hera. But now... How do I fix this mess?
00:22:18I thought marrying her would stabilize the kingdom. But she escaped, turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom!
00:22:26I have a solution, Your Majesty.
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:30The only way to calm the royal court and the people is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this
00:22:37crisis passes.
00:22:38Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's. You'll do.
00:22:44Your Majesty. I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for such a role.
00:22:49That was not a request. It's an order. Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:55Aye, as you command.
00:23:02Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved. From now on, they'll all belong to me.
00:23:08Hera, I am the King of Cade. The ruler of this world. No one's allowed to defy me.
00:23:24Hera, is that you? You finally came back to me. My Hera.
00:23:29Hera, I knew you were hurt before. But why wouldn't you just listen to me?
00:23:36I wanted to tell you everything. On our wedding night.
00:23:43Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you.
00:23:47But I'm a king. I wasn't just myself. Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:53But don't worry. I'll make it up to you from now on.
00:23:57Irene even taught me. How to please a woman. I'll make you happy.
00:24:02I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:07Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:11Hera!
00:24:14Your Majesty! We located Hera. She's currently in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:18Great. I'm leaving immediately. I'll bring Hera back myself.
00:24:22Hera, you bitch.
00:24:24I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:30Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:39Your mind's somewhere else tonight.
00:24:41After everything you did for Cade. After all your victories.
00:24:45This is how the king repaid you. How can the world be this unfair?
00:24:48I spent my whole life fighting wars for the kingdom.
00:24:51Now that I finally have peace, you should be happy for me.
00:24:55It may be so.
00:24:57But it's still so unfair.
00:25:00It's heartbreaking.
00:25:05Look out!
00:25:11Such strong magic.
00:25:13They aren't ordinary assassins.
00:25:19Hera.
00:25:21Time to die.
00:25:28Don't touch her!
00:25:30Don't touch her!
00:25:39Gareth!
00:25:47No!
00:25:58Your power is impressive.
00:26:00But your old wounds never healed.
00:26:03You're finished.
00:26:05Tonight.
00:26:07I'm taking your life.
00:26:09Who sent you?
00:26:11Who else in Cade has this kind of power besides the king himself?
00:26:15Don't touch her!
00:26:20Cain, stay with me.
00:26:23You can't die.
00:26:25I'm gonna die.
00:26:32I'm gonna die.
00:26:35No!
00:26:37No!
00:26:40So it's true, Hera.
00:26:42I knew there was something between you and Cain.
00:26:45I came all this way to bring you back, and this is what I find?
00:26:48Sneaking around with my own brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly? You're a prince.
00:26:53Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me? It's not worth...
00:26:57Lady Hera, you gave everything for Cade.
00:27:00For its people. It's my honor to save you.
00:27:03I dreamed of marrying you.
00:27:05Of ruling this kingdom together.
00:27:07And all this time you were with my brother?
00:27:10Don't think I can't see the truth.
00:27:12You ran from the wedding because you wanted to elope with Cain.
00:27:18Brother, you've got it wrong.
00:27:20I... I only followed because I was worried Hera might be in danger.
00:27:24We... we weren't running away together.
00:27:26You expect me to believe that?
00:27:28If your majesty has already decided what to believe,
00:27:32then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say...
00:27:36Guards! Execute Hera, now!
00:27:44That's a royal command!
00:27:46Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:48Your... your majesty, Hera fought and bled for this kingdom.
00:27:52Earned countless honors.
00:27:53You... you cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you have the guts, I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty, Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom.
00:28:03How... how can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:06Everything I've done in this life,
00:28:08I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:11Answer for yourself?
00:28:12Then what about our engagement?
00:28:14You abandoned me on our wedding day and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom.
00:28:18Did you ever think about me?
00:28:20Do you remember the document I handed you the last time I came to see you?
00:28:23You approved it yourself.
00:28:24The document?
00:28:27The document?
00:28:33Your majesty, I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:28:37They want peace talks!
00:28:40Approved.
00:28:41You may leave now.
00:28:43Someone!
00:28:44Bring me that document!
00:28:45Now!
00:28:52No!
00:28:52No, it's not true!
00:28:54This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read carefully.
00:28:59It's real.
00:29:01How?
00:29:02How did this happen?
00:29:03Why didn't I know about this?
00:29:05Who kept this from me?
00:29:06Who?
00:29:06It was you!
00:29:08Take him out and execute him now!
00:29:10Your majesty, please!
00:29:11I swear I hid nothing!
00:29:12You approved it without even a glance!
00:29:14Hera...
00:29:15I swear to the gods, I didn't know it was a cancellation document.
00:29:18Please believe me.
00:29:20It's already done.
00:29:21Our engagement was over.
00:29:23There's nothing left between us now.
00:29:25You promised my father!
00:29:27You promised to protect Caden, to protect my throne!
00:29:30I did.
00:29:31And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:33Then that means you can still...
00:29:35I once swore before the gods that I would give you 100 chances.
00:29:38You've used every last one.
00:29:40100?
00:29:42How could they all be gone already?
00:29:43No!
00:29:44You're lying to me!
00:29:45That was a hundred chances!
00:29:47There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:49You are stripped of your position as regent.
00:29:51Irene will take your place.
00:29:52As you command.
00:29:55Pity's foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:30:02From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:30:15Now the hundred chances are truly gone.
00:30:18It's time to leave.
00:30:21Everything in Kato belongs to me!
00:30:24Including you!
00:30:26I'd kill you rather than let you leave me!
00:30:32Fine.
00:30:33If you truly want my life, then take it.
00:30:37Your Majesty!
00:30:38You can't kill her!
00:30:42She'd rather be killed than come back to me.
00:30:44Your Majesty!
00:30:45You can't kill her!
00:30:51Your Highness.
00:30:53You don't have to do this.
00:30:55Your Majesty.
00:30:56Lady Hera has done too much for Cade.
00:30:58If you kill her like this, the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:01She chose this herself.
00:31:02I didn't mean to.
00:31:04I beg you, Your Majesty.
00:31:06Spare her life.
00:31:08Why do you care about her so much?
00:31:10This isn't personal.
00:31:12But the people know right from wrong.
00:31:14If you execute a national hero without cause,
00:31:17neither the nobles nor the people will accept it.
00:31:20Good.
00:31:20Everyone says Hera has the people behind her.
00:31:23Power everywhere.
00:31:24Loyal followers everywhere she goes.
00:31:26Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:27Your Majesty.
00:31:28Please don't say that.
00:31:30The late King changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me.
00:31:33Believed in me.
00:31:34I'll never forget that kindness.
00:31:36So don't worry, Your Majesty.
00:31:37I will never rebel.
00:31:39You won't.
00:31:39But what about your men?
00:31:40Gavin, Aaron, Thor?
00:31:42Every one of them is a deadly commander.
00:31:43Can you guarantee they won't turn against me?
00:31:54I'll let them lay down their titles and return home.
00:31:57The royal family will face no threat from them.
00:32:00You have my word.
00:32:01I can let you leave.
00:32:02But you must promise me.
00:32:04Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:06Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:08What a waste to be chained down by her.
00:32:09Watch your tongue!
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs in front of me?
00:32:12Want to die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:16Swear before the gods that you will never serve anyone else for the rest of your life.
00:32:19Or you'll be punished with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:23I accept.
00:32:24I, Hera, swear before the gods.
00:32:26For the rest of my life, I will fight me for Cade and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:30I will never serve another kingdom or power.
00:32:32If I break this oath, may the gods deliver their harshest punishment upon me.
00:32:35Hera!
00:32:36You'd rather abandon all your talent and disappear into the wilderness than stay by my side?
00:32:41I already gave the first half of my life to Cade.
00:32:44I fulfilled the late king's final wish.
00:32:47Now it's time for me to leave.
00:32:50I want to travel the world, live the rest of my life in peace, and never involve myself in the
00:32:55kingdom again.
00:32:56You good, Hera!
00:32:57So you really think Cade will fall apart without you?
00:32:59That I can't rule this kingdom without you?
00:33:01You seriously overestimate yourself.
00:33:03I never thought that.
00:33:04That's exactly what you think.
00:33:06Lucky for Cade, there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds.
00:33:10With Irene leading the kingdom, Cade will thrive just fine.
00:33:14Better than ever, actually.
00:33:16I won't disappoint your majesty's trust.
00:33:21Moses is still young.
00:33:23I'm only trusting with him and the kingdom's future.
00:33:27I'll give it everything I have.
00:33:29The late king entrusted everything to me before he died.
00:33:32No matter what, I have to do last thing for Cade.
00:33:35Your majesty is wise.
00:33:37Before I leave, there are three things I beg you to remember.
00:33:41Interesting.
00:33:42So even you have something to beg me for now.
00:33:44First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:33:47The people are exhausted.
00:33:50Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:33:53I already know that.
00:33:54Second, the northern cities were only recently subdued.
00:33:58Morrill and his men are fierce and proud.
00:34:00While I was here, I could keep them loyal.
00:34:02Please treat them with mercy and respect.
00:34:04If you push them too hard, they will rebel, which will bring disaster to the kingdom.
00:34:15Lord Moriak, unstoppable!
00:34:18One man against 10,000!
00:34:22Don't worry.
00:34:24Irene is the truly gifted one in Cade.
00:34:26She's far more capable than you ever were.
00:34:28Third, never trust the Orc Empire.
00:34:32Gromash and his court are brutal by nature.
00:34:34Never lower your guard around them.
00:34:37Finished, that's all.
00:34:38Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:40Don't underestimate these three rules.
00:34:43If you can truly follow them, Cade will be in peace for a hundred years.
00:34:49Hera, stop pretending to be so loyal.
00:34:50You disgust me.
00:34:52Every word I said came from my heart.
00:34:54Listen carefully!
00:34:55This kingdom won't stop without you.
00:34:57No, Cade will even become stronger than before.
00:34:59That's good.
00:35:00May Cade kingdom prosper, and may my king be safe and well.
00:35:04Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cade away and treat his injuries immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:11No, Cade will be in peace for a hundred years.
00:35:13No, Cade will be in peace.
00:35:18No, Cade will be in peace.
00:35:22No, Cade will be in peace.
00:35:35Why are you here?
00:35:37The moment you left, all three of us were stripped of military command.
00:35:41We refuse to continue serving that damned king. We suffered endless humiliation in the royal court
00:35:48We would rather follow you even if it means doing the roughest labor
00:35:52Lady Hera, please don't leave. Cade cannot survive without you
00:35:56You gave everything for Cade. We can't let you leave like this
00:36:00Everything is settled. I have nothing left to stay for
00:36:03I only wish to lay down my burdens and live a few peaceful years
00:36:07During your years in power, you did so much for us
00:36:10Now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero. We refuse to accept it
00:36:18The royal court has wronged its greatest protector. That's right
00:36:22All gatherings must come to an end someday
00:36:26Everyone, please go home. Don't make things harder for Hera
00:36:34May your road ahead be safe, my lady
00:36:37May the rest of your life be peaceful and stable
00:36:52You saw it with your own eyes. The people of this land recognize only Hera in their hearts, not the
00:36:57royal family
00:36:58I will accomplish great deeds for the world to see. I'll make Hera understand who truly deserves to rule Cade
00:37:05Your majesty, I have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly and elevate your prestige far above Hera's
00:37:11Speak! What plan?
00:37:13Though Hera is gone, her influence within the court still remains
00:37:18Your majesty should dismiss
00:37:19Every official connected to her and replace them all with people loyal only to you
00:37:24And you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and privileges
00:37:27Only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly devote themselves to you
00:37:32Only then will Cade truly belong to you
00:37:36But the royal treasury has long been emptied
00:37:39We simply don't have the money for increased rewards
00:37:43Then raise the taxes
00:37:45But before Hera left she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes
00:37:49Keep the people to live peacefully
00:37:51You are mistaken! To secure royal authority you must first secure the loyalty of those who hold power around you
00:37:57Only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you
00:38:01Hera wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes
00:38:04She was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne
00:38:08You mustn't fall for her tricks
00:38:11What a scheming woman! Even after leaving she's still plotting against me
00:38:17As you said, deliver my order at once, raise the taxes
00:38:24Your Majesty, as Minister of Agriculture I present three treasures
00:38:29Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepuls
00:38:34May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever
00:38:39Excellent! Truly excellent! Cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you
00:38:44I oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the Blacksteel Command Seal, the Lionheart Battle Armor, and the Hundred War
00:38:52Bone
00:38:53May Cade Cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us
00:38:57Well done! That's Irene's brother
00:39:00You've forged Cade Army into such a powerful force
00:39:03With you there, our borders will remain secure forever
00:39:07I present the Star Crystal Stepter, the Deep Sea Pearl Crown, and the Holy Light Blessing Scroll
00:39:13May your Majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people, and secure your supreme royal authority
00:39:21forever
00:39:23Long live King Moses! May Cade resign forever!
00:39:28Ever since Irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom, Cade has grown stronger every time
00:39:34The people live peacefully, and the court stands united
00:39:38This is true prosperity
00:39:48The entire kingdom celebrates today, and every minister offers congratulations
00:39:54Why are you sitting there in silence, without the slightest smile?
00:40:03Congratulations, Your Majesty
00:40:05Are you still unwilling to accept it?
00:40:07Thinking that without Hera, Cade could never maintain its essence glory?
00:40:12I didn't think so, let's stop talking this
00:40:14Even if Hera possessed some ability, how could she possibly compare to Irene's wisdom and strategy?
00:40:20Your Majesty!
00:40:21Your Majesty!
00:40:22Enough!
00:40:23You still side with her in your heart!
00:40:26I would truly like to see Hera's expression when she realizes Cade remains prosperous even without her
00:40:31Prosperous?
00:40:32The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe
00:40:35Citizens are displaced, suffering miserably everywhere
00:40:38And you call this prosperous?
00:40:46The taxes are due!
00:40:48How dare you lay payment?
00:40:49If you still refuse spare money to pay, I'll whip you to death!
00:40:53Sir, this year's harvest completely failed
00:40:56The taxes are far too heavy, we truly can't afford to pay
00:40:59You have no choice!
00:41:01This is the King's command!
00:41:03Anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot!
00:41:07How dare you speak such nonsense here!
00:41:10Cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of His Majesty
00:41:14Raising taxes slightly is what made this grand banquet and this stability possible
00:41:19What is wrong with that?
00:41:21Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised
00:41:25The people needed time to recover
00:41:27You promised her that
00:41:30Shut up!
00:41:32Hera has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:35If you refuse to listen to honest counsel and remain this stubborn, then I have nothing left to say
00:41:40Insolence!
00:41:42Since you despise everything here so much, then get out!
00:41:45Go to the Far North and never back again!
00:41:48Your Majesty, please don't!
00:41:50The Far North borders the Orc territories
00:41:53If Prince Cain goes there, he will certainly die
00:41:56How is that possible?
00:41:58Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:02Those two cities have already...
00:42:05Already what?!
00:42:06Speak!
00:42:07They have already been ceded by Lady Irene
00:42:09To the Orc Empire of the Gromish Royal Court
00:42:12Your Majesty, those two cities were nothing but barren wastelands
00:42:15I made the decision to precede them in exchange for peace along the borders
00:42:18They're only two worthless cities
00:42:20Then that's it, not a great deal
00:42:31This little beauty looks good!
00:42:33Take her with us!
00:42:36Let me go!
00:42:38Let me go!
00:42:42You beast!
00:42:43Let go of my daughter!
00:42:50With the King being this foolish, Cade will fall
00:42:54Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the Royal City
00:42:58Spare you from suffering in the Far North
00:43:00There's no need
00:43:02I'll leave at once
00:43:03You would rather die than remain by my side?
00:43:05Yes
00:43:06There is no hope left here
00:43:09My heart has long since died
00:43:10I'm leaving now
00:43:15Report!
00:43:16A devastating locust playing has erupted in Gale Wind City

00:47:09you can't seriously go back and save him exactly that royal family destroyed you
00:47:14why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you but the people are suffering
00:47:26hera why why are you here
00:47:33your hands what happened to them
00:47:37it's usual to have these calluses but you're a prince why aren't you in the capital
00:47:44my brother banished me
00:47:51so even the last person willing to tell him the truth got driven away too
00:47:55i'm so happy to see you here again i'm also the late king's son and i've admired you for long
00:48:01can i
00:48:03the northern beast threat still isn't over the kingdom's in chaos i'm not thinking about love
00:48:09right now i see but i'd ask you a very great favor right now irene controls everything taxes are
00:48:16crushing the people and she already handed over two northern fortresses to the grommish crown
00:48:20the kingdom's falling apart hera please come back and save kade's people if that's the case
00:48:26then for the sake of the people i'll go back one more time that's great things are already at the
00:48:33breaking point we need a plan immediately the situation isn't hopeless yet if we can provide
00:48:39food and money to calm the people the crisis can still be contained the only thing i'm worried about
00:48:45what's that more look of the north he's fierce and hot-tempered he can't be threatened or if he's
00:48:51pushed too far he'll rebel for sure and once that happens kade will be facing enemies inside and
00:48:56outside the kingdom there will be no saving it then moses can't be that foolish he already made
00:49:01one mistake raising taxes surely he won't make another i hope not your majesty general morlock of
00:49:08the north is outside requesting an immediate audience morlock before hera left she repeatedly
00:49:13warned me to treat him with respect he's fierce and hot-tempered if pushed him too hard he'll rebel
00:49:18pass down my order prepare the best wine and food welcome general morak with the highest honors
00:49:27your majesty please don't the treasury's already empty every coin matters right now morlock's nothing
00:49:34more than a surrender general he doesn't deserve the honors some ordinary food is more than enough
00:49:39and he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people but we can't lower taxes anymore
00:49:47leave this to me your majesty i'll put him in his place myself
00:49:52but hara warned me to treat him with respect what you do could cause real trouble you worry too much
00:49:59your majesty men like him only understand strength leave everything to me nothing will go wrong
00:50:12your majesty i'm morak see your majesty was i right looks like you were this morlock may look intimidating
00:50:21but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere else to go fine get up and speak

00:55:01what happened our scouts confirmed that more of that openly turned against king moses and irene in
00:55:08the royal council hall the confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred god morlock's temper is
00:55:13terrified the openly challenging the royal family completely caused a chaos morlock entered the capital
00:55:18with a handful of trusted men if moses had executed him on the spot to stop him returning the north
00:55:24this rebellion could still have been prevented but the king chose to save irene instead he ordered
00:55:29the guards to stand down and allowed morack to leave for the north safely
00:55:34no that's bad a lot of innocent people are going to die now
00:55:42you ungrateful traitor the king spared your life out of mercy because of your past service and this
00:55:47is how you repay him the second you return north you gather an army and openly rebel against the crown
00:55:52that's treason so you're irene's loser brother makes sense as arrogant and useless as she is believe
00:55:58me i could flatten this city in a second and cut off your head as my wine cup then open
00:56:03your damn eyes and
00:56:03look around our walls are unbreakable our food supplies are full and our soldiers are elite
00:56:08fighters even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here you still won't touch these walls back
00:56:13when hera guarded this kingdom i might honor the court without crossing the line
00:56:20grand marshal hera no need for formalities i know you're loyal and honorable everything that happened
00:56:26before wasn't truly your choice i will honor every single promise i made to lower taxes
00:56:32care for the soldiers and bring peace to the north i swear it but look at the kingdom now
00:56:38a righteous leader like hera was framed humiliated and driven out by corrupt cowards like you
00:56:43i didn't raise this army for power i'm fighting for hera's honor for justice for the suffering people
00:56:50of the north north soldiers charge break stonehold city fight for hera's name for peace of north
00:57:00all soldiers rain arrows drop the boulders crush these traitors into pieces
00:57:22karen get the catapult ready launch me onto the wall release it full power
00:57:28the bowels and be in the world
00:57:37stop him stop the monster kill him no matter what it takes
00:57:54Look carefully! Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner! Nobody here can save him!
00:58:01I know exactly who most of you are. You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield.
00:58:08Now she's been framed and driven out by corrupt cowards. You feel nothing? No anger? No shame?
00:58:16I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom, but to restore Hera's honor! To make people of the
00:58:22north live in peace again!
00:58:25Throw down your weapons and surrender! I swear on my life as a warrior, no harm will come to you!
00:58:31You tell the truth! You fight with honor and righteousness! We're born to protect our homeland, not to die for
00:58:37Irene! I surrender willingly!
00:58:39We surrender! From now on we're willing to follow you and restore justice for Hera!
00:58:45Your Majesty! Thank you for giving me a second chance! I swear on my life, I'll devote everything to you
00:58:52forever! Never betray you!
00:58:58You swore to me that Morak was nothing more than a broken, defeated general! You said he had no courage
00:59:04left!
00:59:05Your Majesty! Please calm down and think carefully about this! It's weird! Morlock kept mentioning Hera over and over again!
00:59:13If you ask me, Hera must be the real mastermind behind all of this!
00:59:16No. Is it truly Hera's secretly plotting against me?
00:59:20Think about it, Your Majesty! She once controlled the entire kingdom's military power, stood above everyone! After being stripped of
00:59:26everything and exiled, how could she possibly accept that? That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace! It seems
00:59:33like I was the target, but in reality, she's humiliating the royal and attacking your authority, and shaking your throne
00:59:39step by step!
00:59:40Damn her! She can't defeat me openly, so now she hides and plays dirty! Letting her followers create chaos! Humiliating
00:59:49me! Provoking the entire kingdom of Kaeda!
00:59:51Everyone knows Hera's good at winning people over! She tricks soldiers and silizans with fake kindness and pretty words! We
00:59:57absolutely cannot fall for her lies! Must crush her scheme before it's too late!
01:00:01But it's already too late! I let Morlock go to save you! Giving him chance to rally all his forces
01:00:07and march south! How are we supposed to stop this war?
01:00:09Don't panic, Your Majesty! I've already prepared for this! My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City, the only path from
01:00:16the north to the capital! Its defenses are impenetrable, and the supplies are abundant! As long as Stonehold stands, Morrick
01:00:22will never reach the capital city! And my brother's a battle heart in general! Morlock may be strong, but he's
01:00:29just a brute! There's no way he can break through the defenses! You can rest easy, Your Majesty!
01:00:37Your Majesty! Terrible news from the front lines! Morack's army has completely captured Stonehold City! General Fulton had his neck
01:00:45crushed by Morack!
01:00:52No! That's impossible! My brothers fought in countless battles! Stonehold City was supposed to be imprezzable! How could it fall
01:01:00so fast? How could he die?
01:01:03Enough, Irene! All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans! Now Morack's army has broken
01:01:09through the north and is marching straight for the capital! Tell me, at this point, is there even a way
01:01:14to turn this around?
01:01:19You... Your Majesty! Please calm your anger! I... I have one final plan that can save the kingdom from destruction!
01:01:28Then spit it out! Now!
01:01:29The soldiers in capital are too weak to stop Morlock's hundred thousand elite riders! The only option is to send
01:01:37envoys to the Orkin Empire! Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion!
01:01:44Absolutely not! I will never agree to something this insane!
01:01:48Your Majesty! Remember my final warning! Never forget it! The Orcs are savage by nature, bloodthirsty and ambitious! They've always
01:01:59coveted the rich lands of Cade! They can never be trusted!
01:02:02I have never forgotten Hera's warning! The Orcs are greedy wolves! Allying with them would be suicidal! It could destroy
01:02:10Cade!
01:02:12Your Majesty! This is no time to hesitate! Mordek's army is launching straight for us! He wants your throne! The
01:02:18Orcs only want gold, food, and a small piece of border territory! If paying that price protects your crown and
01:02:24saves all our lives, it's more than worth it!
01:02:27Fine! We've almost reached the dead end! There's no other choice now! I'll take the risk!
01:02:32Rest easy, Your Majesty! I'll send trusted envoys to the Orc Empire tonight to secure the Alliance and get their
01:02:37army as fast as possible!
01:02:54Marshal Hera, the undefeated goddess of war! Your Majesty! You're finally here! I've waited day and night for this moment!
01:03:00You have no idea how those snakes in the royal court slandered you, humiliated you, and trampled all over your
01:03:05loyalty in front of the entire palace!
01:03:07I'm clear with everything! You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months! King's blind and Irene controls the
01:03:13court, I understand exactly what's going on! But we're warriors to protect the people! No matter what happens, we cannot
01:03:20start a war lightly!
01:03:22Now I need you to order the army to withdraw north! Show the kingdom our sincerity! I'll personally return to
01:03:27the capital and negotiate with the king one last time! If he still insists on dragging the kingdom deeper into
01:03:32ruin, we'll march and take back justice for everyone!
01:03:37Marshal Hera, I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either! I'll follow every order you give, without question!
01:03:46My ministers! Morlach has completely taken Stonehold City! His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now! So
01:03:54does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing! You talk endlessly like genius every day! But now that the kingdom's collapsing, suddenly everyone's silent? Where is my
01:04:05royal guard? Why is there not even one soldier here to protect me?
01:04:09Your majesty! Your majesty! The royal family has already lost the people's support completely! Disasters spread across the kingdom, but
01:04:16the court failed to help the citizens! Then taxes kept rising again and again! The people's anger has reached its
01:04:21limit! At this point, the royal guard exists in name alone!
01:04:27The orcs are probably still days away! There's no army and no general left in the capital! If Morlach attacks
01:04:33now, my throne, my life, my everything are gone!
01:04:38Urgent military report, your majesty! Speak! What happened? Morlach's hundred thousand man army has completely withdrawn! What? They retreated! Why
01:04:49would they suddenly pull back without reasons?
01:04:51I couldn't uncover the reason, your majesty, but I personally saw the entire army break camp and retreat over a
01:04:57hundred miles north!
01:05:01Your majesty! Your majesty! Isn't the answer obvious? My strategy worked perfectly! Just the threat of my preparations alone terrified
01:05:11Morlach so badly that he fled without even fighting!
01:05:18Then would you explain what strategy scared away a hundred thousand elite soldiers overnight?
01:05:24I secretly sent trusted envoys to the orc emperor long ago! The alliance has already been secured! Their elite reinforcements
01:05:33are on the way to the capital as we speak! Morlach must have learned about it and realizes he could
01:05:37never defeat our combined forces!
01:05:39So that's why! Irene's brilliant strategy intimidated the rebels and forced back a hundred thousand enemy troops without sacrificing a
01:05:47single soldier from the capital!
01:05:50Irene, you are the kingdom's greatest killer! My most trusted minister!
01:05:54Your majesty, please reconsider! You cannot make this mistake! It's killing ourselves! They are long coveting our lands! Even the
01:06:01late king personally led the campaign against them and died on the battlefield!
01:06:04That blood feed hasn't been settled! How can you bow your head to our greatest enemy and invite them into
01:06:09our kingdom? You're condemning cave to destruction with your own hands!
01:06:12Your majesty, think carefully! The orcs are cruel by nature! Once they cross our borders, every town in their path
01:06:20will be burnt and looted! Countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered! The people of Cade will be dragged straight into
01:06:26hell!
01:06:28Is the man on the wall, General Garrick? Open the gate immediately! Your King Moses ordered my army to enter
01:06:35the city, crush the rebels, and capture Morlach!
01:06:40This concerns the safety of the capital and the lives of every citizen inside! I need to verify the royal
01:06:49decree myself before opening the gates!
01:06:52HOW DARE YOU! YOU'RE JUST A GATE COMMANDER! AND YOU DARE DISOBEY YOUR KING'S ORDERS?! DELAYING MILITARY BUSINESS ALONE IS
01:07:01A REASON FOR ME TO CUT YOUR HEAD OFF RIGHT NOW!
01:07:07GENERAL! GENERAL! GENERAL! GENERAL! URGENT NEWS FROM THE FRONT LINES! MORLACH'S ENTIRE ARMY HAS ALREADY WITHDRAWN! THE CAPITAL IS NO
01:07:14LONGER UNDER THREAT!
