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.
00:00:33Ethan, stay here while mother goes to buy you a sweet cake, all right?
00:00:37No, we need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:52Excuse me, do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:56Please, 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!
00:01:21Get 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, I got you your cake.
00:02:12Ethan? 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.
00:02:37You'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!
00:02:43Help! Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:52The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan, my soul.
00:03:10Desperate joy.
00:03:13What?
00:03:17I'll do it.
00:03:28I'll do it.
00:03:32And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:53I swear it.
00:04:56My Lord, Ethan.
00:05:00You 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. Please, go and rest.
00:05:14This is the construction plan for the Frost Village training camp.
00:05:17Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:22But I worry about you.
00:05:24Go. Frost Village is your home.
00:05:27This one's hung around your neck.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:31All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:33Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:35Go now. Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:42Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:48Mother.
00:05:55Ethan, where are you? I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy, wonderful news. The most wonderful news.
00:06:05Victor, is it Ethan? Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:12Ethan, why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:16The Royal Magic Legion is building a new training camp in the Northern Territory.
00:06:20All of Frost Village is being cleared, including that broken shack of yours.
00:06:25My son Marcus bargained for you.
00:06:28Fifty gold coin in settlement.
00:06:31They're tearing down our house?
00:06:33That's right.
00:06:38No, we can't. If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:44I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:54Welcome, Commander.
00:06:56Commander, the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:07:00There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:03Shall we... force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions. I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:12Yes, sir.
00:07:23Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:36Auntie Lucy! What 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.
00:08:00Get out of my sight.
00:08:01No.
00:08:01Ethan isn't dead.
00:08:03He's not.
00:08:04Out of the way!
00:08:05No.
00:08:10No.
00:08:13No.
00:08:18Strange.
00:08:19The boy in this portrait looks just like I did as a child.
00:08:33Sam, my brother in arms.
00:08:35Let 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.
00:08:43Then 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.
00:08:51Understood.
00:08:52Portals won't do for the road ahead.
00:08:53Find me a carriage.
00:08:55Okay.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:23Mom, Mom!
00:09:25Father, Mother, are you here?
00:09:28It's been 20 years.
00:09:30Have you been all right?
00:09:32Ethan, today is your 25th birthday.
00:09:37Where are you?
00:09:38I miss you so much.
00:09:43Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:47Nothing yet.
00:09:48But Ethan turns 25 today.
00:09:50Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Maybe he's married by now.
00:09:58Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:01If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next.
00:10:04If not the next, until I search the whole world.
00:10:07Ethan is coming back.
00:10:09He will.
00:10:11Now, no more tears.
00:10:13Victor is coming today.
00:10:15They haven't visited in years.
00:10:17Why come today of all days on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:19Perhaps they miss him too.
00:10:35I have a pony.
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier.
00:10:41Ha!
00:10:52Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:05Commander, your disguise as requested.
00:11:09Good.
00:11:11Exactly what I need to stay low.
00:11:14Where is the household that refused to sign the eviction notice?
00:11:17Commander, a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division claims to be their relative.
00:11:21He has volunteered to speak with them again.
00:11:25Fine.
00:11:26Let him try.
00:11:27I'll walk around.
00:11:28Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:32Garrett cannot be trusted.
00:11:33I need to see for myself.
00:11:43Mama!
00:11:45Mama!
00:11:47This place.
00:11:49It feels so familiar.
00:11:51I've been here before.
00:11:59Victor, welcome.
00:12:01Come in.
00:12:01Enough pleasanties.
00:12:03My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:06Sign this.
00:12:08Fifty gold coins, up front.
00:12:09No.
00:12:11This is Ethan's home.
00:12:13If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:16That's right.
00:12:17We stay and wait for our son.
00:12:20Fifty gold coins and you still won't sign?
00:12:23Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:26I don't want money.
00:12:28I want my son.
00:12:30Don't push your luck!
00:12:31Lucy!
00:12:32An ice crystal crest, formed of magic?
00:12:37Where did you get this?
00:12:38Did you steal it?
00:12:39No!
00:12:39You can't take that!
00:12:40It's how I'll find my Ethan!
00:12:41Want the crest, kneel and beg.
00:12:43Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:44You go too far!
00:12:48Thomas!
00:12:50Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:05That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:08Please.
00:13:09Please.
00:13:11Look at her.
00:13:12She's actually kneeling for some boy who may be dead.
00:13:18Give it back.
00:13:21I'll give it back.
00:13:22Sign first.
00:13:27Come on.
00:13:31Could this be?
00:13:32Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:41No!
00:13:41I will not give up our home!
00:13:45Then...
00:13:45I smash it.
00:13:47Stop!
00:13:48The crest is the only way Ethan will know me.
00:13:51If I lose it, I'll never find my son again.
00:13:54All right.
00:13:55I'll sign.
00:13:56Then crawl over here to do it.
00:14:03Good heavens, all that for a pathetic brat!
00:14:08What can she do?
00:14:09It's her only chance at finding that wretch.
00:14:14Now, give it back to me.
00:14:17Want it?
00:14:18Crawl over and beg.
00:14:31Please, give it back.
00:14:34I told you.
00:14:35Just sign the notice.
00:14:37Why make things hard?
00:14:39You promised.
00:14:41You defied me.
00:14:42You chose that cursed brat.
00:14:44This is the price.
00:14:45You will never see him.
00:14:47Never!
00:14:52I'll make sure you can never find that bastard.
00:14:54Please, stop!
00:14:55Not for the rest of your life.
00:15:02That pattern.
00:15:04Still defying me?
00:15:06Then die!
00:15:06Shut up!
00:15:24What a dramatic entrance.
00:15:26It's just a grimy blacksmith.
00:15:28Mind your own business or I'll beat you too.
00:15:30You'd strike someone?
00:15:31Bold of you.
00:15:33Legion code forbids the use of force against civilians.
00:15:36Did you forget every word of it?
00:15:39What does a blacksmith know about the law?
00:15:54Wake up, Thomas.
00:15:55What do we do?
00:16:02Are you all right?
00:16:03I'm fine.
00:16:05Marcus was forcing me to sign the eviction notice.
00:16:08This man stopped him.
00:16:13So you clearly know Legion law.
00:16:15I beg you, help us further.
00:16:18That eviction notice was signed under duress.
00:16:20You signed it.
00:16:21No taking it back.
00:16:23Please, sir.
00:16:25We cannot lose this house.
00:16:27We have to stay and wait for our son.
00:16:30I will see that justice is done.
00:16:33You have my word.
00:16:41Could they really be?
00:16:44Where did you get that ice crystal crest?
00:16:47My son made it when he was young.
00:16:49The first time he ever used magic.
00:16:52He's been gone for 20 years.
00:16:55Father and I had it made into a pen just for years.
00:17:15Ethan.
00:17:17You're my Ethan.
00:17:20This isn't a dream.
00:17:24It isn't.
00:17:27My son is home.
00:17:29Father, mother.
00:17:30I've been gone for so long.
00:17:31I've made you search so hard.
00:17:34Forgive me.
00:17:37As long as you're home, nothing else matters.
00:17:40Your brat is back.
00:17:42This isn't worth celebrating.
00:17:45Right.
00:17:45He's just a blacksmith who hammers plows.
00:17:51Today I am reunited with my parents.
00:17:53I will not let the likes of you ruin it.
00:17:55Get out.
00:17:56Big talk.
00:17:57Do you know who my son is?
00:17:59He's a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division of the Legion.
00:18:03A man with a future.
00:18:08You're in the Legion?
00:18:10Who is your superior?
00:18:13What's wrong?
00:18:14Never heard of Lord Garret?
00:18:16Governor of the Northern Territory?
00:18:18I suppose a backwell peasant like you wouldn't know your betters.
00:18:20Marcus was kind to even teach you Lord Garret's name.
00:18:23He's just a governor.
00:18:25One word from me and he'll come crawling.
00:18:31How dare you?
00:18:33Who do you think you are?
00:18:34Huh?
00:18:35Don't you know?
00:18:36Lord Garret runs this entire territory.
00:18:39What would a common blacksmith know?
00:18:41My son is strong.
00:18:42He belongs in the Legion.
00:18:44And Lord Garret pries him above all others.
00:18:46You ignorant fool.
00:18:48My beloved is Lord Garret's own confidant.
00:18:51Do you understand what that means?
00:18:53It means I can do whatever I want here.
00:18:58They hold no respect for the law.
00:19:00They treat the Legion's code like nothing.
00:19:03What do we do?
00:19:04We can't fight them.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06You can't!
00:19:08You are a Legion soldier.
00:19:10You were sworn to protect the people.
00:19:11Look at what you're doing.
00:19:12Protect them?
00:19:13Should we carry Loebron filth on our backs?
00:19:15What use are you?
00:19:16You bring nothing but shame to your parents.
00:19:18My Ethan is a fine man.
00:19:20Fine?
00:19:21A blacksmith's life is worth nothing.
00:19:23Ethan, beg us.
00:19:24Maybe Marcus can find you some work in the Legion.
00:19:26Beg you, you're not worth it.
00:19:29Don't get proud, Ethan.
00:19:31Kneel down and lick the mud off my boot.
00:19:33Do that, and I'll consider it.
00:19:35Oh, Marcus, how generous.
00:19:38Let me think.
00:19:39What works it to you?
00:19:40Scrubbing latrins?
00:19:43You've gone far enough!
00:19:45Kneel and you get a job.
00:19:46We're not lying!
00:19:47Kneel before you.
00:19:50Not a chance.
00:19:53What is this blacksmith going on about?
00:19:56My son is Captain of the Legion Honor Guard and Deputy Commander of the Ceremonial Escort.
00:20:01I have a dozen soldiers under me.
00:20:04Every one of them an elite fighter.
00:20:06We're only holding back because you're family.
00:20:08Count yourselves lucky.
00:20:10Marcus has too much power.
00:20:12We can't fight him.
00:20:13I won't let Ethan get hurt.
00:20:15Today is a good day.
00:20:16No more fighting.
00:20:18I've made sweet cakes and stew.
00:20:22Let us sit and eat.
00:20:24This slob?
00:20:25My pigs eat better than this.
00:20:26Father, they're hiding the good stuff somewhere.
00:20:30Move!
00:20:51Happy birthday, Ethan.
00:20:54Ethan.
00:21:03This is our son's birthday gift.
00:21:05Every year we prepare a birthday gift.
00:21:07Birthday gift? How pitiful.
00:21:09Give it back!
00:21:09Worthless old woman!
00:21:10Stop!
00:21:11Gutter trash!
00:21:14Get out!
00:21:15You are not welcome here!
00:21:17How dare you speak to me that way!
00:21:26Please, don't crush it! Please, I beg you!
00:21:32Kneel.
00:21:34Pick up every piece. Fix it.
00:21:37Then kneel and beg my parents for forgiveness.
00:21:40Refuse, and I will make you pay back a hundred for.
00:21:45Ethan, have you hammered your brain to scrap?
00:21:48This house is no longer yours.
00:21:51You're nothing but a pack of homeless strays.
00:21:58What the hell? Why is it suddenly so cold?
00:22:03Quaking in your boots, old man?
00:22:05Worried your son's about to die?
00:22:07I'll say this once more.
00:22:09Kneel. Apologize.
00:22:11Now, before you regret this.
00:22:13A threat? You don't scare me.
00:22:15Look at this. Cost me a hundred gold coins.
00:22:18This can summon a beast more powerful than any mage.
00:22:21You don't stand a chance.
00:22:23Count yourselves lucky to have this beast be the last thing you see.
00:22:27A Karin Bist summoning stone?
00:22:29Five copper bends at the Legion supply depot.
00:22:31You paid a hundred gold for that trash?
00:22:33What a fool.
00:22:34How dare you?
00:22:35Think you'll survive this?
00:22:37Legion Prohibition. Article 42.
00:22:39The unauthorized possession and summoning of aggressive beasts in civilian zirns is forbidden.
00:22:43Violation results in permanent discharge and life imprisonment.
00:22:46You quote the law at me?
00:22:48I am the law here.
00:22:51You're all Lubon filth.
00:22:53Every last one of you could die and the Legion wouldn't blink.
00:23:12What do we do?
00:23:14No.
00:23:15My Ethan is here.
00:23:16I will not retreat.
00:23:19Ethan, run!
00:23:24Don't be afraid, son.
00:23:26Your mother and I will hold it back.
00:23:28Just run.
00:23:30I won't leave you.
00:23:32Not when we just found each other.
00:23:37Child.
00:23:39To have you as the last thing I see is enough.
00:23:43I just wish I had the chance to watch you grow.
00:23:54Enough of this touching reunion.
00:23:56No one leaves here alive.
00:24:00Why weep over a blacksmith?
00:24:03He's worthless.
00:24:04Ethan.
00:24:06No matter who you've become,
00:24:08you are still your father's pride.
00:24:11Father.
00:24:13Mother.
00:24:15I promise you,
00:24:16no one will harm you today.
00:24:19Still boasting.
00:24:22Take him down!
00:24:58What's wrong with you?
00:24:59Attack!
00:25:13Where is it?
00:25:14Where did the beast go?
00:25:16Hey!
00:25:17You useless creature!
00:25:19Get out here!
00:25:20My hundred gold coins!
00:25:24Why doesn't nobody like him have magic?
00:25:28Impossible.
00:25:30Three hundred years and not one ice made in the whole empire!
00:25:35How could such a long dead power appear in this wretch?
00:25:42I know what this is.
00:25:44Dark magic.
00:25:45Forbidden black magic!
00:25:47So that's where you've been all these years?
00:25:50Walking a cursed path?
00:25:52Ethan!
00:25:53You sold your soul for this filth?
00:25:55No.
00:25:56My son is not that kind of man!
00:26:00Stop making excuses.
00:26:01Your son is finished.
00:26:03Dark magic is punishable by death.
00:26:07My love.
00:26:08Come quickly.
00:26:10There's a heretic using black magic.
00:26:12Hurry.
00:26:12What?
00:26:13I'm on my way!
00:26:14Hear that?
00:26:17Sienna is coming.
00:26:18She's Lord Garret's own confidant.
00:26:21You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:23You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:37Who dares practice dark magic?
00:26:39The Legion will not tolerate this.
00:26:44My love!
00:26:45You're here!
00:26:47This wretch killed my beast with magic!
00:26:50He tried to kill me!
00:26:52Someone laid a hand on my man in the Northern Territory.
00:26:56I'll make him pay.
00:26:58You're finished, Crossyanna.
00:27:00And you crossed the entire Northern Legion.
00:27:05What are you smiling at?
00:27:07You think you're walking out of here alive?
00:27:09You're the one who hurt my man?
00:27:11Lowborn filth.
00:27:13I'll make sure you beg to die!
00:27:25Careful, my love.
00:27:26He disguises the black magic as ice magic to deceive people.
00:27:29There has been no Ice Macer in this kingdom for 300 years.
00:27:33And you thought you could fake it?
00:27:35Fool.
00:27:35Your ignorance only shows how low you rank in the Legion.
00:27:38You've never had access to the top.
00:27:40How dare you?
00:27:41Lord Garrett himself says my word is law here.
00:27:44I have the power to execute filth like you!
00:27:49Is that what Lord Garrett teaches you to do?
00:27:51You lowborn animal!
00:27:53How dare you speak his name so freely!
00:27:56Is he so great?
00:27:57Then I'll have him come to me right now.
00:28:04Garrett!
00:28:04Garrett!
00:28:05Come!
00:28:06Now!
00:28:11Garrett!
00:28:12Come!
00:28:13Now!
00:28:19Assemble the full guard!
00:28:20Move!
00:28:21With me!
00:28:24Practicing dark magic is a capital offense.
00:28:28Arrest them all!
00:28:29Take them to the dungeon!
00:28:30They face execution!
00:28:32Father, mother, don't be afraid.
00:28:34I'll protect you.
00:28:36Once they're dead, that 50 gold settlement is all ours!
00:28:44I can't fight here.
00:28:46I won't destroy the house.
00:28:47This is the home my parents guarded their whole lives.
00:28:50I'll go with you.
00:28:51But my parents stay.
00:28:53No!
00:28:53If you go with them, you'll die!
00:28:55Don't worry.
00:28:56We're your mother and father.
00:28:58We'll protect you.
00:28:59Ha!
00:29:00Lost your nerve?
00:29:01Where's all that big talk now?
00:29:03Fine.
00:29:04Those two old wrecks won't last much longer anyway.
00:29:13Father, mother.
00:29:14Don't worry.
00:29:16I'll be back soon.
00:29:18Ethan!
00:29:19Ethan!
00:29:20Honor his fertile devotion, then.
00:29:22Trade your lives for his.
00:29:24Ha!
00:29:25Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:29:27Ethan!
00:29:29Ethan!
00:29:36Where is he?
00:29:38Tall, handsome, dressed in rough cloth and a leather apron.
00:29:40Where did he go?
00:29:41Your men took him.
00:29:43They said they were taking him to the wasteland for execution.
00:29:46Please save my son.
00:29:48Ex...
00:29:48Execution?
00:29:52Execution?
00:29:57Thomas, what do we do?
00:29:58Don't panic. Remember? Ethan was betrothed as a child.
00:30:03You mean Isabella's family? They were as poor as us back then, but they've grown rich.
00:30:08Frost Village wealthiest family. They cut ties with us years ago.
00:30:11They're our last hope. Perhaps they will save Ethan for old time's sake.
00:30:30I chose quite the place to die.
00:30:32Any last words?
00:30:40Ethan, kneel nicely and I might make it quick.
00:30:43And those 50 gold coins will be ours.
00:30:46Small comfort for what you did to my darling, but it'll do.
00:30:50My love, once we have that money, I'll buy you the most beautiful dresses.
00:30:54New shoes for my parents, too.
00:31:00I warned you. Cross the Legion and you pay a price you cannot afford.
00:31:05What right do you have to speak for the Legion?
00:31:11Ethan, still boasting with death at your door?
00:31:18No.
00:31:20Death is at yours.
00:31:32Is it?
00:31:33You're falling for your own bluff!
00:31:37This fool actually thinks he's the commander!
00:31:40The commander?
00:31:41Have you ever even seen the commander?
00:31:43Only someone of Lord Garrett's rank would even qualify.
00:31:47Your rank is too low.
00:31:48You're not worthy.
00:31:50You vile creature!
00:31:54Scared now?
00:31:55Beg me and maybe I'll let you off.
00:31:57Is this all you can muster?
00:31:59You truly think this is enough?
00:32:01Gutter trash!
00:32:02There you go again with the big talk!
00:32:05Make him hurt!
00:32:09These soldiers are Legion elite.
00:32:12Any one of them could crush an ant like you.
00:32:18Rise!
00:32:23See that?
00:32:25Scared!
00:32:26Too late!
00:32:27Is that all you've got?
00:32:29Against you?
00:32:30More than enough!
00:32:32This level?
00:32:33I could put it out with a flick of my fingers.
00:32:35You arrogant wretch!
00:32:36I'll grind you to ash!
00:32:38Combine!
00:32:40You're doomed!
00:32:41You're doomed!
00:32:48How is this possible?
00:32:53This...
00:32:54This can't be!
00:32:55I can't move!
00:32:57Let go!
00:32:58Help!
00:33:00Stand down!
00:33:02All of you, stand down!
00:33:07Commander!
00:33:09Commander!
00:33:10Thank goodness you're here!
00:33:13Kill this madman!
00:33:15What is going on here?
00:33:17Commander!
00:33:18This lowborn wretch used dark magic and killed all my soldiers!
00:33:21Now he wants to kill me!
00:33:24Striking Sienna is the same as striking you, sir!
00:33:28This is a declaration of war!
00:33:30Lord Garrett is here.
00:33:32You're doomed.
00:33:36You're dead.
00:33:45Sir, have you struck the wrong person?
00:33:48That one's over there!
00:33:50Silence!
00:33:52And you!
00:33:57You!
00:33:58You lawless animals!
00:34:00He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:11Commander!
00:34:12Commander, your subordinate Garrett failed to discipline his men.
00:34:14They offended the Commander.
00:34:16I await your punishment.
00:34:18We await your punishment, Commander!
00:34:20Commander!
00:34:26Sir, look at how he's dressed!
00:34:27How could he possibly be the Commander?
00:34:30Commander Marcus, as I can bear witness,
00:34:31he's just the son of a poor relative of mine.
00:34:34They just found him today.
00:34:36It's true.
00:34:37Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:34:38Just look!
00:34:39How could a penniless blacksmith be the Commander?
00:34:47Open your eyes!
00:34:49This is the youngest Commander in the Empire's history!
00:34:52A new, a new Commander?
00:34:55This can't be!
00:34:59Effective immediately, you are stripped of all military rank.
00:35:04You are demoted to the lowest common class.
00:35:07No!
00:35:09Commander Garrett, I was wrong!
00:35:15He's the Commander.
00:35:17Does that mean Thomas' family is about to strike it rich?
00:35:21Commander, it was all Marcus who deceived me tonight.
00:35:25Anything you want, if you let me go, tonight.
00:35:28No, every night from now on, I'm yours.
00:35:31You can do anything you'd like to me.
00:35:33You terrible woman!
00:35:34What do you think you're doing?
00:35:35This is your fault!
00:35:37If you weren't such a useless rest, I'd never have crossed the Commander!
00:35:41Take them away.
00:35:52Commander, Victor and Marcus' family are in custody.
00:35:56Also, a contact reports your parents just left home
00:35:59and went to the estate of Isabella, Frost Village's wealthiest family.
00:36:02So I have a betrothed, do I?
00:36:05Yes, Commander. Arranged when you were young.
00:36:07Make it happen.
00:36:09I have a more important task for you.
00:36:12Announce throughout the Northern Territory that three days from now
00:36:15I will hold a grand ceremony in the city.
00:36:17I will declare the identity of my birth parents publicly.
00:36:20No one will dare trouble them again.
00:36:23Understood. I'll see to it at once.
00:36:36Move along.
00:36:37This is not a place for beggars.
00:36:41My lord.
00:36:43My son holds a betrothal contract with Miss Isabella.
00:36:48The poorest person Miss Isabella's ever seen is her own stable hand.
00:36:52You two, rolling in the mud, dare speak of a betrothal?
00:36:56This is all our savings.
00:36:58Please, I beg you.
00:37:07Fine. Wait there.
00:37:14My lord.
00:37:16Any news yet?
00:37:19Why are you still here?
00:37:21Move on or I'll have you arrested.
00:37:23You took our money.
00:37:24That was everything we had.
00:37:27How could you deceive us like this?
00:37:30Savings.
00:37:31How much could beggars like you even have?
00:37:37Miss Isabella.
00:37:41Something stinks.
00:37:42Did someone leave rubbish out here?
00:37:46It's me.
00:37:47I'm Ethan's mother.
00:37:52So you're the two spreading rumors that I'm your son's betrothed?
00:38:01How could you hit her?
00:38:04Exactly what vermin like you deserve.
00:38:08You saw our family prosper and came crawling.
00:38:13That's not why we're here.
00:38:18So this is Frost Village' wealthiest estate.
00:38:21Rather modest, honestly.
00:38:24Still denying it?
00:38:26Filth like you, I've seen plenty.
00:38:28You want money?
00:38:29Just admit it.
00:38:40We don't want money.
00:38:42Do you remember the betrothal with our son?
00:38:46You two shameless wretches dare bring that up?
00:38:50You've been spreading that lie all over the village!
00:38:52No, we haven't.
00:38:54My son.
00:38:58Your son?
00:39:00Two old chromes who wallow in the mud.
00:39:03Your son must be worthless to leave you destitute.
00:39:07Know your place and get out.
00:39:11No, no, we don't want anything.
00:39:15Still here?
00:39:16God!
00:39:19No!
00:39:35And who are you?
00:39:36Child, you're really back.
00:39:38They didn't hurt you, did they?
00:39:39I'm fine, father, mother.
00:39:41They didn't dare.
00:39:42You're home.
00:39:43That's all that matters.
00:39:45Oh, and who might this is?
00:39:47Another pewter by the look of it.
00:39:49You dare stand at the gate of my estate.
00:39:51That is enough, Isabella.
00:39:54Don't think being a woman will protect you from me.
00:39:56What are you playing at?
00:39:58Vermin from the gutter shouldn't stoil the air with their words.
00:40:01Isabella, watch what you say.
00:40:07Apologize.
00:40:08Now.
00:40:10Apologize?
00:40:11To you?
00:40:12Ethan, you cannot bear the consequences of my apology.
00:40:15In this town, one word from me and you disappear.
00:40:17Isabella, wonderful news.
00:40:19The most wonderful news.
00:40:21The legion just issued an order.
00:40:2330 ships of premium spices and exclusive Mediterranean salt trading rights,
00:40:26all sent to your family.
00:40:27You're about to be the richest family in the region.
00:40:29Oh, really?
00:40:31Heavens.
00:40:32Is it true?
00:40:33Absolutely.
00:40:34My father is the Northern Territory governor, after all.
00:40:37So that's why these two old retchels turned up today.
00:40:40They heard word our family was about to strike it rich.
00:40:44Is that so?
00:40:46Parasites sniffing out the scent.
00:40:48They dare set their sights on some of the legion favors.
00:40:51I'll discipline these bastards the legion way!
00:41:01Lay a hand on me, and your father will lose his post.
00:41:05A blacksmith, all muscle and no sense.
00:41:08His lowborn peasant is far too brazen.
00:41:10His father is the Northern Territory governor.
00:41:12I'm telling my father!
00:41:13You're finished!
00:41:15No, it was all my fault.
00:41:19Mother, it's all right.
00:41:20Call him.
00:41:21Let's see what he does.
00:41:24Oh, a filthy commoner wants to see my father.
00:41:27Someone of my father's stature, and you think you can just summon him?
00:41:30A filthy cockroach who doesn't know his place.
00:41:35You two are the parasites.
00:41:37Living off your father's names.
00:41:39So what?
00:41:40Even without magic, I'm a senior legion commander.
00:41:43Can you say the same?
00:41:44Only those with magical talent may serve in the legion.
00:41:47That is the law.
00:41:48You had quite some nerve.
00:41:53The law?
00:41:55My father is the law in the Northern Territory.
00:41:58A governor this arrogant.
00:42:02My father is more than a governor.
00:42:04Do you have any idea how much the new commander values Lord Garret?
00:42:08Values him?
00:42:09News to me.
00:42:10The new commander arrives in the Northern Territory in three days.
00:42:13That alone is the highest honor for my father.
00:42:15Enough.
00:42:16Stop wasting words on this cockroach.
00:42:20You said really true.
00:42:21My father's word is never wrong.
00:42:23Three days from now, the new commander holds a public ceremony in the Central Square.
00:42:26I need to get a new gown ready at once.
00:42:31Three days from now.
00:42:33I'll have a gift for you too.
00:42:35One you'll never forget.
00:42:54Garrett has planted men in the honor guard.
00:42:56They may make a move at tomorrow's ceremony.
00:42:58He can't beat me.
00:42:59Everything proceeds as planned.
00:43:01Understood.
00:43:03Sam, I need to ask a favor.
00:43:05As brothers.
00:43:07Name it.
00:43:11Take my parents far from the Northern Territory.
00:43:14As far as possible.
00:43:15I don't want them caught in the middle.
00:43:17Done.
00:43:18Thank you, Sam.
00:43:20You know, I've never thought of you as a subordinate.
00:43:25You are the brother I trust most.
00:43:28I'll head out now.
00:43:36I'll head out now.
00:43:40Coming here was too dangerous.
00:43:42Don't worry.
00:43:44He'll never expect his sworn brother to be the one plotting his downfall.
00:43:49You have his trust.
00:43:52Trust.
00:43:53To him, I'm nothing but a convenient tool.
00:43:56Good.
00:43:57Hold on to that hatred.
00:44:00I'll head out now.
00:44:02I'll head out now.
00:44:03Tomorrow, Ethan loses the thing he's most proud of.
00:44:17Once I win the commander's favor, a dukety is practically mine.
00:44:23Once I've captivated the commander, I'll have a man with magic.
00:44:27Unlike this useless dead weight.
00:44:30The commander is here!
00:44:33Yeah!
00:44:33Yeah!
00:44:35Yeah!
00:44:49Ethan, why didn't you tell me you were the commander?
00:44:51That makes me the commander's wife.
00:44:53We do have a betrothal after all.
00:44:56Isabella!
00:44:57What are you doing, you shameless horrid?
00:45:00Get back here!
00:45:02You have no shame.
00:45:04Yesterday, you humiliated me and my parents, called us worthless filth.
00:45:08Now you want to be my betrothed?
00:45:10It was all my fault.
00:45:13I didn't know you were the commander.
00:45:16Ethan, please give me a chance to make it right.
00:45:18Take her away.
00:45:19And revolt the Thorn family's salt trading rights in the Mediterranean.
00:45:23No!
00:45:25My family is already in debt.
00:45:27Without that contract, we'll be ruined!
00:45:29This man holds no magical talent, yet infiltrated the Legion and took a post.
00:45:35Take him to prison immediately.
00:45:38Commander!
00:45:39Fitz is still young.
00:45:41Allow me to take him home and discipline him myself.
00:45:44You would defy a direct order.
00:45:45I advise you to think carefully.
00:45:47This is the Northern Territory.
00:45:49I call the shots.
00:45:51Move against my son and you'll see how ruthless I can be.
00:45:58What are you going to do?
00:46:00I have men positioned in all four directions.
00:46:03One signal from me and they will destroy the barrier.
00:46:07When the beasts flood the city, every man, woman and child will die.
00:46:15You're insane!
00:46:32You...
00:46:36Let me go!
00:46:39Where are my parents?
00:46:41What have you done with them?
00:46:50Give up.
00:46:52That is a mage binding chain that doesn't just restrain your power.
00:46:56In one hour, it will drain your magic entirely and leave you a broken man.
00:47:03Sam, I always thought of you as the brother.
00:47:06I trust with my life.
00:47:08Why?
00:47:09You hypocrite!
00:47:11Even now you lie!
00:47:13If it weren't for you!
00:47:15If only you didn't exist!
00:47:18The commander's seat would have been mine!
00:47:22You have no idea what I gave to become commander!
00:47:25I trained every hour of every day.
00:47:27I pushed through every injury.
00:47:29I could suffer anything if it meant I could become commander.
00:47:31And then there was you!
00:47:34You beat me without trying!
00:47:35You took everything I ever wanted!
00:47:38You made me this shameful loser!
00:47:41Sam, you haven't lost.
00:47:42Sam, you haven't lost.
00:47:43You've let obsession blind you.
00:47:45I have always seen your effort.
00:47:47Your worth.
00:47:48In my eyes, you are already one of the greatest mages in the kingdom.
00:47:53You knew.
00:47:54Release the chain.
00:47:56Let us speak plainly.
00:48:01He's manipulating you!
00:48:02Do you want to be a deputy for the rest of your life?
00:48:05Exactly!
00:48:07Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:09Stop struggling.
00:48:11Every soul in this city is about to die because of you.
00:48:14You'll be thrown from the commander's seat and cursed for a thousand years.
00:48:30My son!
00:48:31It's useless.
00:48:31Only the owner can open the mage binding chain.
00:48:34I know.
00:48:35You spent three months developing it.
00:48:37You've always been brilliant.
00:48:38That means nothing right now!
00:48:45Enough!
00:48:46Don't waste our time!
00:48:48No!
00:48:48What are you doing?
00:48:50You promised you wouldn't kill Ethan!
00:48:52So that was their arrangement.
00:48:56Sam, do you know why Ethan always outranked you?
00:49:00Because you are too soft.
00:49:01Poor little deputy.
00:49:03Think carefully.
00:49:04If Ethan were gone, who would be left to contest the commander's seat?
00:49:08Exactly.
00:49:09Ethan is the only one who needs to die.
00:49:11Don't believe them!
00:49:13They're using you!
00:49:14I think you're a smart man.
00:49:18You know what to do.
00:49:28Sam, you deserve victory.
00:49:30Do you really want to claim it through dirty tricks?
00:49:32Useless!
00:49:47Mother!
00:49:49Mother!
00:49:49No!
00:49:50Out of my way!
00:49:51No.
00:49:52A mother will never hide.
00:49:53Mother!
00:49:55Ethan, I am so proud of you.
00:49:58You've become such a wonderful man.
00:50:00You've already done so much for us.
00:50:03Now let us protect you.
00:50:04Get out of the way, you old fools!
00:50:06Two powerless wrenches.
00:50:08I'll send you all off together.
00:50:10Father!
00:50:11Mother, get back!
00:50:13No.
00:50:14A mother should always protect her son.
00:50:17It was my fault.
00:50:19All those years ago, you suffered so much.
00:50:22Don't blame mother.
00:50:23I failed you.
00:50:25I couldn't even buy you the sweet cake you loved.
00:50:29I, Garrett, am of noble birth.
00:50:31I do not strike those without magic.
00:50:33If you insist on standing in my way, take three strikes.
00:50:36Survive them, and I'll let him go.
00:50:39His health has never been good.
00:50:41He's been ill for years.
00:50:43But...
00:50:43I'll take them.
00:50:45Perhaps I can hold.
00:50:47What are these fools dealing about?
00:50:48Do it, Father!
00:50:54Mother!
00:51:02Mother!
00:51:18Powerless fool!
00:51:19My father is the Northern Territory's greatest swordsman!
00:51:23That strike was a lesson.
00:51:25No one defies me in all the Northern Territory.
00:51:28Poor woman.
00:51:29Powerless.
00:51:31She doesn't stand a chance against Garrett.
00:51:44Powerless.
00:51:46Mother!
00:51:51She's still standing.
00:51:58That was the first strike.
00:52:01I was merciful to hold back.
00:52:04Step aside now, and you keep your life.
00:52:07No.
00:52:07My son needs me.
00:52:10I will not move.
00:52:12Mother.
00:52:14Then you die.
00:52:16No one in the Northern Territory has ever survived three of my father's strikes.
00:52:20Least of all, a frail old woman like you.
00:52:25You!
00:52:28What are you doing?
00:52:29You would betray my father?
00:52:32I...
00:52:35I...
00:52:35Garret held back on the first strike.
00:52:38But the second...
00:52:53I showed mercy once because you are old.
00:52:56I showed mercy once because you are old.
00:52:56That mercy is gone.
00:53:01Mother!
00:53:02Move!
00:53:12She's finally dead!
00:53:14Ha!
00:53:14Ha!
00:53:15Ha!
00:53:15No one survives three of Garret's strikes.
00:53:17She gave everything she had.
00:53:20Lucy.
00:53:21Your sacrifice will not be wasted.
00:53:23Now it's my turn to protect our son.
00:53:34Ethan, you missed 20 years.
00:53:38But I am so glad I lived to see the man you've become.
00:53:42Far greater than I ever imagined.
00:53:46I'm sorry.
00:53:48I won't be able to walk beside you any longer.
00:53:51I only hope...
00:53:52You will be happy.
00:54:00I'll give you no more chances.
00:54:03Die!
00:54:07Die!
00:54:16I...
00:54:17Lost again?
00:54:25How...
00:54:26How are you still standing?
00:54:29No matter how hard I try.
00:54:40how is your mother
00:54:43safe
00:54:44she's no longer in danger
00:54:46but we need to get her to a healer

01:01:29ethan
01:01:31mother
01:01:32what happened where am i
01:01:36You lost too much blood and fainted. The commander healed you with magic. You're safe now.
01:01:42He has some old ailments. He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:48Ethan, the king wishes to see all of you.
01:01:56Lucy, Thomas, you have shown courage and kindness.
01:01:59You were willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the people of the Northern Territory.
01:02:03The kingdom of Floria is moon honoured to have subjects such as you.
01:02:07Therefore, I hereby forstro upon Thomas the title of Earl, and upon Lucy the title of Countess.
01:02:13Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:17Legion Deputy Commander Sam.
01:02:26Sam, you betrayed the Legion, injured your commander, and dealt a blow to the Legion's honour.
01:02:30However, on account of your remorse and service in rescuing the Earl and Countess,
01:02:35the tribunal has weighed your crimes and judged them cleared.
01:02:38Effective today, you are relieved of all duties.
01:02:43Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:48Ethan.
01:02:52I am here.
01:02:54You were fearless in the face of death, and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:03:00You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:03:04It was only my duty.
01:03:08I hereby declare, my most precious daughter, Princess Rowena, shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:14It is my honour to wed the princess.
01:03:16I hereby swear, so long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory,
01:03:20no war shall ever reach the hem of Your Highness's gown.
01:03:23One final matter.
01:03:24I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward, Crown Prince of the Kingdom.
01:03:37This is as far as you go.
01:03:39Your parents are waiting for you.
01:03:41Are you truly leaving?
01:03:43Stay and think it over.
01:03:44The Legion needs you.
01:03:48Not after what I've done.
01:03:49We fought side by side, and I nearly destroyed their families.
01:03:54They wouldn't want to see me.
01:03:56But in the end, you still-
01:03:58Ethan, I'm going out to find myself.
01:04:00Train, maybe one day I'll come back stronger than you.
01:04:04Very well.
01:04:05I'll be here waiting for your challenge.
01:04:08Perhaps I will be the one to claim victory.
01:04:11I won't hold back.
01:04:13I'll be waiting.
01:04:14I'll be waiting.
01:04:26Ethan?
01:04:28Father.
01:04:29Mother.
01:04:29Are you alright?
01:04:30I was worried about you.
01:04:31I'm fine.
01:04:32I'm just happy.
01:04:33From now on, we will never be separated again.
01:04:35Yes.
01:04:36Our family will always be together.
01:04:38Always.
01:04:39Always.
01:04:40I'm sorry.
01:04:40Now I hope I can do my job.
01:04:41I'm ready.
