00:00:01In the 8th year of the Valorian era, General Gabriel Rees let his cavalry suffer.
00:00:09He marched 3,000 miles, crushed the barbarian court and earned great merit for it.
00:00:17It's been 8 years. The desert is at peace. All the bloodshed has finally ended here.
00:00:27It's time for me to go home.
00:00:30General, His Majesty's reward is here. You are now a Divine General.
00:00:34Reward? I fought for the lights of every home behind me just to have my mother and sister live in
00:00:43peace and have a happy life back home.
00:00:45Go!
00:00:47To be able to repay my lord, I'd give my life without regret.
00:00:52A peaceful realm across these vast lands is the greatest honor I could ever have.
00:00:58Farewell, our great general. Farewell, Divine General.
00:01:03Farewell, Divine General.
00:01:08General Reed seeks no fame, but we must still honor him. He gave his entire life for our nation.
00:01:14His family deserves this glory too.
00:01:19Let it be known! In 3 days, we bring the rewards to his hometown.
00:01:23Yes!
00:01:28Master!
00:01:30Master! I have great news! In 3 days, General Arya Vance, Deputy to the Divine General will be coming here!
00:01:39What did you say? Quickly, prepare the whole county. Hang lanterns and pave the roads. We should all welcome her
00:01:46here with highest honors.
00:01:47Yes, sir!
00:02:00Mother, I'm just wondering, how is brother now?
00:02:04Didn't he say in his letter to us that wherever he is, he's doing well?
00:02:09I'm sure that. Your brother must be doing great things.
00:02:21That carriage seems to be carrying the Magistrate's son in the whole of Ashford. Only his family has such luxury.
00:02:26Madam Reed! I have really great news for you. Look who I brought with me here!
00:02:35Your family's truly blessed. This is Mr. James Smith. You should know him. He's from a noble family in our
00:02:42place.
00:02:42And also, he's talented and very handsome, right? I can see that. He and your Clara are truly a perfect
00:02:49match for each other!
00:02:55Mr. Smith, this woman is Clara Reed's, the Reed's daughter!
00:02:59You flatter me, madam.
00:03:01Miss Reed's beauty is famed across Ashford. I've heard of your good name before. Now that I've seen you, I
00:03:07can finally see it's well-deserved.
00:03:15Miss Reed's, this bracelet is named beyond worlds. This is a small gift to show my admiration for you and
00:03:22your beauty.
00:03:23What? Could the one that you're holding be the priceless bracelet that was sold at Vision Auction House just last
00:03:29month?
00:03:31Sorry, Mr. Smith. That is too valuable. I can't accept that. Besides, my marriage must wait for my brother's return
00:03:38before it can happen. For now, I have no such thoughts.
00:03:43Madam Reed, Mr. Smith is such a fine match. You'll regret missing this. Please convince her.
00:03:48With parents' approval and a matchmaker's say, she might agree with it if you help to persuade her.
00:03:55Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Smith. But we are of humble means. We dare not reach so high.
00:04:01Besides, Clara is still too young. There's no need to rush into marriage yet.
00:04:08Very well. Nobody can force love. Since Miss Reed's is not interested, I suppose it wasn't meant to be. I'll
00:04:16take my leave.
00:04:19Oh, dear. You two are unbelievable.
00:04:25Mr. Smith is truly a well-mannered and kind person. He knows his place. He's not arrogant just because he's
00:04:33from a great family.
00:04:35Mr. Smith, I'm sorry about today.
00:04:38Thank you for your help today. This is your payment.
00:04:43Thank you, Mr. Smith. Take care on your way, sir. If I find a better match, I'll let you know,
00:04:48Mr. Smith. Safe travels!
00:04:51Mr. Smith!
00:04:58So good. She smells so good.
00:05:05Mr. Smith!
00:05:10Ronald!
00:05:11I really want that girl. Do whatever you need to do to bring her to me. I want her now!
00:05:20I can't wait any longer.
00:05:33Clara, put the gloves away.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:42Hey, you.
00:05:43They're coming with us.
00:05:45Who?
00:05:46Who are you?
00:05:48Let's go!
00:05:49What are you doing, huh?
00:05:50Get out!
00:05:52Get out of here!
00:05:53Leave this place!
00:05:54Leave!
00:05:54Move!
00:05:57Leave!
00:05:59Useless trash!
00:06:01Scram!
00:06:06Useless trash!
00:06:07Scram!
00:06:08Get out of here!
00:06:10Stay away!
00:06:13Stay away!
00:06:14No!
00:06:17Where are you going?
00:06:19Mother!
00:06:20Let go of me!
00:06:21Mother!
00:06:21Let go of me!
00:06:23Mara!
00:06:24Let go of me!
00:06:25I should let go!
00:06:27Mother!
00:06:29You should be rewarded.
00:06:30Do you want to die?
00:06:31These people are so fierce.
00:06:33You can't afford to offend them.
00:06:35Aren't you afraid of them?
00:06:36What are you looking at?
00:06:38You want to die?
00:06:39I'm glad to grant it to you.
00:06:40Let me go!
00:06:40Let me go!
00:06:45I'm begging you, sir.
00:06:47Please let my daughter go!
00:06:49I beg you, sir, please!
00:06:51Let my daughter go!
00:06:52Please!
00:07:12Mr. Smith, the girl is with us.
00:07:18This wine from the western regions is really something else, huh?
00:07:25Tonight, we'll have so much fun.
00:07:40Who are you to trespass?
00:07:42Dismount at once!
00:07:47To be continued...
00:07:48To be continued...
00:07:48To be continued...
00:07:49To be continued...
00:07:53To be continued...
00:07:57Greetings, General Reeds!
00:07:59Greetings, General!
00:08:01No need for that.
00:08:02I only returned to visit my mother and sister.
00:08:05Keep it low-key, and don't spread the news.
00:08:07Yes!
00:08:08Kill!
00:08:08Kill!
00:08:16General Reed's is from Bayshore?
00:08:19I had no idea he was from here.
00:08:20I disrespected him.
00:08:22Quick, find out where his family lives.
00:08:24Do it fast and keep it a secret.
00:08:27Report back to me as soon as possible.
00:08:29I will prepare generous gifts and visit him personally.
00:08:36Hey, come back here!
00:08:37Hey, come back!
00:08:39No!
00:08:41No way!
00:08:43No way!
00:08:47Come here!
00:08:49No way!
00:08:52No way!
00:08:58Come here!
00:08:59No!
00:09:12We're gonna have a good time with you!
00:09:14Come on, guys!
00:09:20Now you're going to be mine.
00:09:22Well, aren't you going to run?
00:09:24If you do it, be useless.
00:09:25I'm just about to have fun with you.
00:09:28Mr. Smith!
00:09:29You're behind this!
00:09:32Please, Mr. Smith!
00:09:34Please let me go!
00:09:35Let me go?
00:09:37Did I hear that right, huh?
00:09:39But you're saying this...
00:09:41So good, it's utterly intoxicating!
00:09:45Why would I go ahead?
00:09:48Why would I let you go again?
00:09:50After all, you're the first woman in Asher who would dare reject me, James Smith!
00:09:56You're the girl of Ashford!
00:09:59No!
00:10:01Stop!
00:10:06You smell so good!
00:10:10It's so captivating!
00:10:12I can't forget it!
00:10:14I like it a lot!
00:10:17Stop!
00:10:19No!
00:10:23No!
00:10:25Please!
00:10:30I'm in a good mood today!
00:10:33You can all line up!
00:10:34Everyone gets a turn!
00:10:36I'm in a bad mood.
00:10:38Let's go!
00:10:38Let's go!
00:10:42Come on!
00:10:44Come on!
00:10:45Come on!
00:10:46Oh, me!
00:10:50Open up!
00:10:56Let's go!
00:11:14That's Clara, right?
00:11:16Good heavens. This is so cruel. How could this happen?
00:11:39Clara! Clara!
00:11:43Mother, I've been ruined. Oh, ruined. Why did this happen to my child?
00:11:54Oh, good heavens! Please have mercy on me and my child!
00:12:17Drums! Let's go!
00:12:21Who are you? What are you doing here? And why did you sound a grievance drunk? Explain everything slowly. There
00:12:28should be no lies.
00:12:32Your honor, we're here because last night some Rockians broke into my home.
00:12:38Huh?
00:12:38And abducted my daughter Clara Reed.
00:12:42And they... They... Oh, my goodness.
00:12:48Oh, my girl.
00:12:51Your honor, please seek justice for my poor daughter and punish the criminals!
00:12:58Huh? Such audacity! In broad daylight, who was the one who dared act so boldly under my rule?
00:13:07Madam Reeds, is your statement true? Did you see the faces of who did this to her?
00:13:14Yes. It was... James Smith was the one who did this!
00:13:21Huh?
00:13:27Miss Reeds, please answer me. Are you certain it was James Smith? Answer me! Look at me!
00:13:35Yes. It was him. Last night, he... He disrespected my body.
00:13:45Guards! Bring James Smith here! No need for that! Huh? Huh?
00:13:52I'm right here.
00:14:05Father!
00:14:06Father!
00:14:13Do you want to report me?
00:14:15Yes, I want to! You're a heartless tyrant! You're a complete hypocrite! A real monster!
00:14:22In front of everyone last night, you had my daughter of obstruction! And you even raped her!
00:14:28Huh? Where's...
00:14:30This is recently terrible, isn't it? Do you such a thing?
00:14:34Please, your honor, take justice for me and... Punish this heartless monster!
00:14:43He's outrageous! How could he do that? He's outrageous!
00:14:47He's a monster!
00:14:50Silence! If James Smith has really committed the crimes you say he did, I will show no mercy!
00:14:56He will definitely be punished!
00:14:58Oh no!
00:15:01James Smith! Answer me! Is what she's claiming really true, huh?
00:15:08Father, please judge wisely. I would never do such a vile thing to her.
00:15:20Madam Reins, I bear you no grudge.
00:15:22So why are you slandering me?
00:15:24It's him. It's really him.
00:15:29Strictly no shouting in this court.
00:15:32Madam Reins, do you have proof to back your statement?
00:15:39They all saw what happened to her.
00:15:42Those men last night abducted my daughter.
00:15:47Oh, did anyone here see what happened to her yesterday?
00:15:52No, your honor. We, we didn't see anything.
00:16:03You saw everything, now then.
00:16:06Lori, you're not telling the truth.
00:16:07I didn't see anything. I didn't see a thing.
00:16:11You didn't see it. You...
00:16:14Don't touch me.
00:16:19Since there is no evidence...
00:16:22You shameless woman! How dare you accuse my son like that?
00:16:26Do you think this court is your playground, huh?
00:16:29Guard!
00:16:30Sir!
00:16:30Drag these shameless people out of here.
00:16:33Give them 30 lashes.
00:16:35No!
00:16:36Move! Come on! Get up!
00:16:37Get over! Get over! Let's go!
00:16:38My heart! We were the ones who've been found!
00:16:41Please spare my mother! Let's go over!
00:16:43Let them go!
00:16:58Let them go!
00:17:05Mother!
00:17:06You've been robbed, official!
00:17:07We're refusing your mother!
00:17:09Never will punish you!
00:17:20Mother!
00:17:22Mother! Clara!
00:17:22Clara!
00:17:25Mother! I'm back now!
00:17:28Mother?
00:17:30Clara?
00:17:38Madam, do you know where my mother and my sister are?
00:17:42Gabriel, don't act rashly, alright?
00:17:44We common folk can't fight the officials here.
00:17:47They control everything here.
00:17:49Madam, please tell me what happened here.
00:17:53My dear lord, listen.
00:17:55The magistrate Sonny...
00:17:57He violated your sister.
00:17:59After that, they were almost beaten to death.
00:18:02What?
00:18:09My lord, bad news.
00:18:12We found out that the general's mother and sister was...
00:18:15They... they have been...
00:18:17They've been what? To spit it out?
00:18:19They were arrested by the Ashford magistrate and beat them.
00:18:23What did you say?
00:18:27Prepare... the horses.
00:18:28We have to go there now!
00:18:35You corrupt officials!
00:18:37You father and son are in this together!
00:18:40You pay for all of this!
00:18:50Mother!
00:18:51Mother!
00:18:52Mother!
00:18:52Mother!
00:18:53Let go of my mother!
00:18:54My lord!
00:18:55We are dropping charges!
00:18:57Please despair us!
00:18:59Go and torture them without mercy!
00:19:01Let these unruly ramble learn what the law truly means!
00:19:15You stubborn old fool!
00:19:17Still won't break, will you?
00:19:19I'll tell you something!
00:19:21The taste of...
00:19:24Your daughter...
00:19:26Was truly exquisite last night.
00:19:29Such a shame.
00:19:30She couldn't take much.
00:19:32We barely started, but...
00:19:34She fainted already.
00:19:35Later on...
00:19:36I'll have my men...
00:19:38Take another turn with her.
00:19:40Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:19:46Beat this wretched old hag to death!
00:19:49No, please!
00:19:49Don't do it!
00:19:50Spare my mother!
00:19:52You can do whatever you want with me!
00:19:55No, Clara!
00:19:57Huh?
00:19:58Did you really say that?
00:20:00Really?
00:20:06You did say it, didn't you?
00:20:07Have you forgotten that? Whatever I declare, we'll really be binding.
00:20:16Beat this old wretch to death!
00:20:23Don't hurt him!
00:20:40Who dares offend the reeds?
00:20:58Why don't you answer my question?
00:21:01Which filthy wretch assaulted my mother and sister?
00:21:07How dare you!
00:21:08Making trouble in this court and breaking down the gate!
00:21:11Who are you, huh?
00:21:12Quickly, seize that man now!
00:21:14Yes, sir!
00:21:26Mother.
00:21:28Lara.
00:21:39Gabriel!
00:21:42Gabriel!
00:21:45Gabriel!
00:21:46That geeks!
00:21:48That geeks!
00:21:50They ruined Clara!
00:21:53They need me as well!
00:21:59I understand, now.
00:22:04Gabriel!
00:22:07It was that beast!
00:22:10That geeks!
00:22:12I understand, now.
00:22:18Gabriel!
00:22:20We can't stand against all of them!
00:22:26I know that you may be different now, however, since before, commoners should never pick fights with officials!
00:22:44Mother.
00:22:46Do not worry.
00:22:48I know what I'm doing.
00:22:50You two should rest.
00:22:52Leave it to me.
00:22:54I'll take care of this.
00:22:58I'll take care of this.
00:23:18You said such bold words.
00:23:20Who exactly do you think you are?
00:23:25Well, look who it is.
00:23:28So the little one just baths their brother as they turn.
00:23:32So what?
00:23:33You're here to stand up for her?
00:23:36Let me tell you this.
00:23:38In the entirety of Asher, I am the law.
00:23:41No one is above us.
00:23:43Do you understand?
00:23:44So listen to me.
00:23:46Your sister should consider herself fortunate to have caught my eye.
00:23:50Huh.
00:23:51Though I must say, she didn't last very long.
00:23:56But she still tasted good.
00:23:59You're the one who did this to my sister.
00:24:20Ronald is no amateur in combat.
00:24:22How could he not even block a single punch?
00:24:29So you are James Smith?
00:24:32How dare you!
00:24:33Now you assault my son openly.
00:24:36Your crimes are compounded.
00:24:37Guards!
00:24:38Seize that man now!
00:24:43Whoever brings him down shall be handsomely rewarded!
00:24:49Just these worthless fools.
00:24:53I have another question.
00:24:54Was the blood on my sister's legs caused by you?
00:25:04Yes, it was.
00:25:05And what of it?
00:25:07She brought it upon herself.
00:25:09She seduced me.
00:25:10A low-born girl like her just happened to catch my eye.
00:25:13She should be grateful about it.
00:25:15Attack him!
00:25:16Go ahead!
00:25:20Why aren't you attacking?
00:25:22That wasому!
00:25:39No!
00:25:47I don't know.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:25:49I am condemning him.
00:26:10My beautiful face and my teeth!
00:26:14That one was for my sister's legs.
00:26:23Which part of my sister did you touch?
00:26:26Nowhere!
00:26:29Father!
00:26:30Hey!
00:26:31Father, stop that!
00:26:32Stop that now!
00:26:33Stop it!
00:26:34Do you have any idea who my son's uncle, my sworn brother is?
00:26:39You have someone backing you.
00:26:41You are finished now!
00:26:43My uncle is the Grand Marshal of Bayshore Southern Army under Commander Nathan Ward, commanding 50,000 troops!
00:26:51I've already sent word to my uncle now.
00:26:55I know he's already on his way here.
00:26:57If you kneel and beg for mercy, I may still spare your life.
00:27:02But if you wait until he arrives, then I vow to make you wish for an instant death!
00:27:07So is that all that you've really got?
00:27:12A county lord that colludes with military power, letting his son run amok, extorting merchants, and preying upon the people,
00:27:21offending my family!
00:27:23All right?
00:27:25Today I give you one chance!
00:27:28Let's see if you can really make me wish for my death!
00:27:41James!
00:27:42Quickly!
00:27:42This is bad!
00:27:43It's outrageous!
00:27:44This has gone too far!
00:27:45Today I'll make sure that you die without a grave!
00:27:48The son fails, the father pays.
00:27:51You as the lord of this county, allowed him to run amok, twisted right and wrong, and abused your authority!
00:27:56You were not worthy of that uniform!
00:27:59What are you doing?
00:28:00I am an officer of the throne!
00:28:01Try me and see what happens!
00:28:04Hey Gwai!
00:28:05The Grand Marshal of Bayshore has arrived!
00:28:09Did you hear that?
00:28:11My uncle is here now!
00:28:13The Grand Marshal of Bayshore is here!
00:28:15You're finished!
00:28:16Your entire family is finished!
00:28:18I will have my way with your sister right in front of you!
00:28:21I'll sell both your mother and sister off to the brothels!
00:28:23You'll see!
00:28:31I dare anyone to try me!
00:28:36I dare anyone to try me!
00:28:39Uncle!
00:28:42Uncle!
00:28:53Who are you?
00:28:54To be so bold and storm into this court!
00:28:57To insult my brother and harm my nephew!
00:28:59Uncle!
00:29:00This villain really!
00:29:01Dare to barge into this court and assault an officer!
00:29:04He also beat me so badly!
00:29:06He even threatened us!
00:29:08That he'd wipe out our entire family!
00:29:10Uncle!
00:29:11Please have him seized and put to death!
00:29:12Do it now!
00:29:13This man is actually dangerous!
00:29:16He's exceptionally skilled and highly trained in combat!
00:29:18He must be an outlaw!
00:29:20Bring your men and take him down!
00:29:27I'll give you one last chance to survive this!
00:29:29Surrender, confess and name your accomplices!
00:29:31I'll let you die quickly!
00:29:33Hmph!
00:29:35So you're the one they hide behind!
00:29:37As a lord and guardian, you extort merchants and break every law!
00:29:42Quite admirable!
00:29:43Hmph!
00:29:44What about that?
00:29:45Whatever wrongs my nephew may have done, you are not in a place to judge him!
00:29:50The law?
00:29:50Hmph!
00:29:51In the lands of Bayshore, our word is the law!
00:29:54Do you understand?
00:29:56Alright!
00:29:57Then let us see whether your so-called law has any hold over Gabriel Reed!
00:30:03Gabriel Reed?
00:30:06Such a stubborn fool!
00:30:08Hear my command, soldier!
00:30:09Yes, sir!
00:30:11Yes, sir!
00:30:12Cut this rogue down!
00:30:13Right where he stands!
00:30:14Yes, sir!
00:30:18Hear my command, soldier!
00:30:19Yes, sir!
00:30:21Cut this rogue down!
00:30:23Right where he stands!
00:30:24Yes, sir!
00:30:34Uh!
00:30:38Uh!
00:30:38Uh!
00:30:40Uh!
00:30:42Uh!
00:30:45Impossible!
00:30:46This can't be!
00:30:47His skill in combat!
00:30:48I've fought half my life!
00:30:50I may not even be his match!
00:30:52No ordinary rogue or outlaw could possess such ability!
00:30:57Insolence!
00:30:57You dare strike the soldiers?
00:30:59Under the laws of this land, you shall be condemned!
00:31:03Condemn my family?
00:31:04Do you not know that a soldier's blade is meant to strike enemies and protect people?
00:31:08But you use your sword for such evil doings and help the devil!
00:31:12You are not worthy!
00:31:17Uncle, kill him now!
00:31:18Please, end him now!
00:31:20This man is some kind of sorcerer!
00:31:23Yes, right!
00:31:24Hey!
00:31:25What manner of sorcerer are you?
00:31:27What magic do you wield to stand against the armies?
00:31:30I am the Grand Marshal of Bayshore, serving under Commander...
00:31:33Commander Nathan Ward!
00:31:34Commander Ward leads!
00:31:36An army of a hundred thousand men!
00:31:37No matter how powerful your sorcerer is!
00:31:39Before that army, you will be nothing but dust!
00:31:43If you surrender to me, I may yet!
00:31:46Play it for your life!
00:31:48Do you understand?
00:31:49Grand Marshal of Bayshore Southern Army Leonard Smith, does this mean Nathan Ward is your final card to play?
00:31:58Since you ask who I am then, let me ask you this...
00:32:02Five years ago, at the Battle of the Southern Wastes, when three thousand cavalry shattered the enemy, where were you?
00:32:11Three years ago, when the northern border held for a hundred days with no retreat, where were you?
00:32:18Three days ago, charging a thousand miles, when I took the General's head in the midst of his army!
00:32:25Where were you then, huh?
00:32:28No, impossible!
00:32:30How?
00:32:32I have fought on countless battlefields, crushed the enemy's armies, and was named by the King as the Divine General!
00:32:49Impossible!
00:32:50He cannot be that legendary Divine General!
00:32:53He would never appear in this backwater of a place!
00:32:56And how could he possibly be the son of beggars?
00:33:02Impossible!
00:33:03That is impossible!
00:33:04The Divine General is the greatest hero!
00:33:06He has long returned in triumph to meet his majesty!
00:33:09Why would he appear in this forsaken place?
00:33:11You!
00:33:12You scheming wretch!
00:33:13You must have heard of his name from somewhere!
00:33:16And you!
00:33:17You are using to trick us and fool the people!
00:33:22That's right!
00:33:23Do you know who the Divine General is?
00:33:24How dare you impersonate him!
00:33:26Impersonating the Divine General only means death for your entire bloodline!
00:33:31You insolent wretch!
00:33:32You are an impersonator!
00:33:34If you bring this man down, it will be a great merit!
00:33:39A bunch of useless foals!
00:33:53No!
00:33:54Impossible!
00:33:55How do you...
00:33:56Possess such terrifying skill!
00:33:58I know!
00:33:59This is sorcery!
00:34:01It has to be that!
00:34:02What dark magic are you using, huh?
00:34:06Truly a stubborn fool to the very end!
00:34:10This man must be a spy from an enemy nation!
00:34:13Or some...
00:34:14Grove sorcerer that's...
00:34:16Using dark arts to blind us!
00:34:18And destroy our court!
00:34:20Stand firm!
00:34:21Don't let him fool you!
00:34:23Commander Ward!
00:34:24Yes!
00:34:24I'm sure that Commander Ward's army will arrive any moment!
00:34:33Do you have any idea who Nathan Ward really is?
00:34:37Answer me!
00:34:38He commands 100,000 troops at Bayshore!
00:34:41He definitely is the backbone of this station!
00:34:43His army is stationed nearby!
00:34:46They're generously armed!
00:34:47Do you think that he'll let you pull this stunt?
00:34:50Surrender now!
00:34:51And just maybe, you'll get a quick and easy death!
00:34:55When Commander Ward arrives, he'll grind you into dust!
00:34:58For daring to impersonate the Divine General!
00:35:01And every single lowlife in your family will die!
00:35:05That's right!
00:35:05Exactly!
00:35:06Commander Ward will be right here with his troops!
00:35:09When he arrives, you're dead!
00:35:11You, your mother, and your sister!
00:35:13You're all dead!
00:35:18So tell me, when is he getting here?
00:35:22Report!
00:35:25Sir!
00:35:26Commander Ward from Bayshore has arrived here!
00:35:35Commander Ward!
00:35:51My respects, General Reeves!
00:35:55I fail to control my men and keep order!
00:35:58Pausing your family to suffer!
00:36:00I deserve to die!
00:36:01For this failure I have committed!
00:36:06What?
00:36:09He really is?
00:36:11The Divine General?
00:36:12But how is that possible?
00:36:14So do you...
00:36:15Believe it now?
00:36:26General!
00:36:27Please have mercy!
00:36:28I had no idea!
00:36:30I swear I didn't know it was you!
00:36:33How about...
00:36:34I give you everything I own!
00:36:35I'll return your sister!
00:36:37No, no, no, no, no!
00:36:38I'll be...
00:36:39I'll be your servant for life!
00:36:40Please just spare my life!
00:36:41I'm begging you, please spare me!
00:36:52I've been briefed on what happened here!
00:36:54It was my oversight!
00:36:55I let my subordinate's families get out of hand!
00:36:58General Reeves, please give me a chance to make this right for everyone!
00:37:03I promise you, I'll get to the bottom of this!
00:37:05I'll make sure everyone involved will be punished!
00:37:09I owe it to you, Mrs. Reeds, and Miss Clara Reeds!
00:37:14Commander Ward!
00:37:15I'm listening!
00:37:16He's responsible for all the blood on Clara's legs!
00:37:20The wounds on my mother's back are from the beating he ordered!
00:37:24And above all that, he took Clara's virginity!
00:37:28He even said right to my face that he'd rape her all over again!
00:37:32And he would sell my mother to a brothel!
00:37:36Sorry!
00:37:36Heard every word you said!
00:37:38Only a monster would do this!
00:37:40This is unforgivable!
00:37:41I will...
00:37:48General, please spare me!
00:37:50Father, save me, please!
00:37:52Commander Ward, please!
00:37:53My uncle served you for years!
00:37:55Please save me!
00:38:01The End
00:38:02Was it this hand that touched her?
00:38:04Or was it both your hands?
00:38:06No, please! No, no! I didn't! No, please!
00:38:13My hands! No!
00:38:19Commander Ward!
00:38:20I'm... I'm listening.
00:38:22Each member of the Smiths involved in this case will be tried under imperial and military law.
00:38:29Those who deserve death will get no mercy.
00:38:31Those exiled will never be pardoned.
00:38:36Seize all their family's assets.
00:38:39Use them to compensate the people who have suffered for years.
00:38:42Rebuild a county school and poorhouse.
00:38:44Yes. I have my orders.
00:38:46I will handle this by the button.
00:38:49No exceptions.
00:38:51As for you...
00:38:54After today, report to the Ministries of Justice and Will to answer for your negligence if this happens again.
00:39:04Understood, General. I'll accept any punishment. Thank you for your mercy.
00:39:11Mother. Clara. Let's go home now.
00:39:31Gabrielle. I want to be strong just like you.
00:39:34That way, I can protect myself and mother.
00:39:49Don't worry. These men are my soldiers.
00:39:53Greetings, General Reeds!
00:39:56What is it?
00:39:57General Reeds. His Majesty is here. He's in the city. He'll preside over your investiture himself.
00:40:03Quick, take me to His Majesty.
00:40:05Yes, sir.
00:40:07Mother. Clara.
00:40:08Get yourselves cleaned up. You must go see him.
00:40:10Someone will pick you up shortly.
00:40:11Okay.
00:40:32General Reeds! I beg you for justice! General Reeds! Please help me! I beg you!
00:40:39Ma'am! Stand up, please. Tell me what happened to you.
00:40:48Tell me what happened to you.
00:40:50My husband was a sergeant in the Crimson Legion before. He was badly wounded in battle and was left disabled.
00:40:56He was discharged after that. But some corrupt official has stolen every last cent of our pension.
00:41:03Now my husband's sick at home and we can't afford treatment. Even our child can barely get a meal now.
00:41:09I swear, everything I said is true.
00:41:13General, I recall the Crimson Legion did have a man by that name. He was seriously wounded in battle and
00:41:19he was sent home.
00:41:20His pension was ten gold bars. They were already sent to the local pensions office.
00:41:26Ma'am, can you please take me to your home? Don't worry. If what you say is true, I, Gabrielle
00:41:31Reeds, will see justice done.
00:41:33If not, I'd be failing a hundred thousand Crimson Soldiers.
00:41:37Thank you, General Reeds!
00:41:49Father, is the story about the War Hero real?
00:41:52Of course it is. Every one of us has a duty to serve our country.
00:41:57But Father, you ended up like this for our country. Why won't the country help us?
00:42:02They let people push us around and now we live like this.
00:42:05My classmate's father is a merchant. He trades with foreign partners. And he makes a fortune. He already dropped out
00:42:11of school.
00:42:13Sweetheart, without a country, there's no home. If no one defends our country from enemies, then who protects your mother?
00:42:21Your grandpa, your grandma, even your friends and teachers.
00:42:25I understand now, Father.
00:42:32Hey, Henry!
00:42:34It's time to pay the interest.
00:42:45Hey, Henry!
00:42:47It's time to pay the interest.
00:42:50Emily, go ahead.
00:42:52Give him the money.
00:43:06But this is only 80 coins.
00:43:08It's not enough.
00:43:11But it's always been 80 coins before, right?
00:43:1580?
00:43:17That was last month's rate.
00:43:19Now it's 120 coins.
00:43:21What's that?
00:43:23You...
00:43:23How could you do this?
00:43:29You know, you talk way too much. I hate it.
00:43:32This is my turn. I'm in command.
00:43:34So why set the price I want?
00:43:36I'm telling you.
00:43:37You better hand over the money to me.
00:43:40Or else.
00:43:41Just hand over your daughter to me instead.
00:43:45Then we can forget the other 40 coins.
00:43:48How do you even know you changed that?
00:43:50If anyone touches Emily, I'll fight them to death.
00:43:54Fight me, huh?
00:43:59Your miserable life is not even worth a damn dime.
00:44:03Huh?
00:44:04I'm telling you.
00:44:05You better hand your daughter over to me.
00:44:09I promise.
00:44:10I'll take real good care of your daughter.
00:44:13Christmas bastard!
00:44:15Father, do you still think dying for your country was worth it?
00:44:18If you hadn't served it till it broke you, our family wouldn't be treated like this.
00:44:23My father is a hero.
00:44:25He bled on the battlefield just for this country.
00:44:27And now you humiliate him and humiliate his family?
00:44:31Emily, you really have no shame, do you?
00:44:33A hero?
00:44:35He's a hero.
00:44:36So heroes don't have to pay protection money.
00:44:39Huh?
00:44:41You little witch!
00:44:43Drag that little brat out of this place!
00:44:44Emily!
00:44:45No!
00:44:45Get away!
00:44:48Emily!
00:44:50I'm useless.
00:44:51I'll die fighting them!
00:44:54Father!
00:44:57Worthless!
00:44:58Father!
00:45:06Don't move!
00:45:07Come here!
00:45:09Where do you even get the nerve?
00:45:11To bully a Crimson Legion soldier?
00:45:14Don't you know who I am?
00:45:16How dare you hit me like that?
00:45:19I'll make sure you'll pay for this!
00:45:32Move!
00:45:36Elections have been so poor this month.
00:45:39No wonder we're only getting one pension payout now.
00:45:43It's just a few hundred silver.
00:45:45That's barely enough for me.
00:45:47Mr. Quinn, the border wars have just ended.
00:45:50Nobody's dying out there, so there are no new pension claims.
00:45:53But you know, I raised the rent on those veterans who went back to farming.
00:45:59That should bring in a nice sum.
00:46:02Well done, Brian.
00:46:04Tell me, how about the land seizures?
00:46:07I was just about to mention that.
00:46:09Some stubborn folks won't cooperate.
00:46:11It's quite tricky.
00:46:14Huh?
00:46:16They won't cooperate.
00:46:18Uh-huh.
00:46:19Then you should take it by force.
00:46:20Get rid of those who gots in the way.
00:46:22Of course.
00:46:23That land has a buyer offering a thousand in gold.
00:46:26Huh?
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:28All right.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:29Take me to see it now.
00:46:31Which fool is dumb enough to stand in the way of the law?
00:46:36Anyone else who won't fall in line, just drown them all up.
00:46:39Exactly.
00:46:40Throw them in jail.
00:46:41A little misery will set them straight.
00:46:43Yes, sir.
00:46:50Henry.
00:46:51I failed you.
00:46:52And every crimson soldier.
00:46:54You.
00:46:55You are.
00:46:58I, Henry Moss, pay respects to General Vance.
00:47:05Darling, I found your general.
00:47:09General Reeds.
00:47:21Henry.
00:47:23Henry.
00:47:35Year 221 of Imperial Calendar, the Crimson Legion Skyhawk Division and Dragon Division reportedly clashed with Barbarians at Lama Plains.
00:47:43The enemy's main force was wiped out, but our losses were heavy.
00:47:47Dragon Division Sergeant Henry Moss killed 25 enemies, including an enemy captain.
00:47:53He lost an arm after being wounded.
00:48:04Who gave you the right to interfere with us?
00:48:06Get out here now!
00:48:07Get out!
00:48:09Yeah, get out!
00:48:13Who gave you the right to interfere with me, huh?
00:48:17Don't tell me you're the Crimson Legion.
00:48:19Huh?
00:48:20Listen to me, okay?
00:48:21I know exactly how to deal with soldiers like you.
00:48:23Be glad I'm only charging you a little interest.
00:48:27Piss me off and you won't see a sense of your pension.
00:48:31All of you, you're dressed like you're big shots.
00:48:33What is this?
00:48:34Buddy on a show here, huh?
00:48:36What are you guys?
00:48:37A general or something?
00:48:38What's so funny, huh?
00:48:40I won't be fooled by you!
00:48:41You bastard.
00:48:42You dare insult General Reeds?
00:48:44You're asking for it!
00:48:48Get them!
00:48:54You go and beat them senselessly!
00:49:05Just get away!
00:49:07You're dead!
00:49:09Get out of here!
00:49:11Damon, please look into it.
00:49:13Let's all see who the hell is messing with the soldiers and all of their military pensions.
00:49:20Let's get to the truth.
00:49:21No matter who it is, this is a travesty.
00:49:24I owe the Crimson Legion an answer.
00:49:26Roger that.
00:49:28This day has finally come.
00:49:30Madam Wayne, this is bad.
00:49:33Someone's tearing down the memorial.
00:49:35What did you say?
00:49:36What are we going to do now?
00:49:38Jane, what's going on here?
00:49:41Someone's trying to tear down the soldiers' memorial in the East.
00:49:44My father and brother are both buried there.
00:49:46What's that?
00:49:47How dare they do this kind of thing?
00:49:49This is outrageous!
00:49:50That memorial you're mentioning belongs to the Crimson Legion.
00:49:54Jane, I promise you that I'll secure that land for you.
00:49:58Thank you, General!
00:49:59Jane, there's no need for that.
00:50:01Every soldier in the Crimson Legion, they are all my comrades.
00:50:05If someone goes after them, I'll make sure that I fight to my last breath.
00:50:13Arya, Damon, let's go.
00:50:15Yes, sir.
00:50:26Destroy everything now!
00:50:32Destroy it!
00:50:34Oh, no!
00:50:35You shameless bastards!
00:50:37What are you doing, huh?
00:50:40Stop it!
00:50:40You can't tear this down!
00:50:42This is the memorial for fallen soldiers!
00:50:44If you tear this down, I'll be sure to die here today!
00:50:51You can't destroy my husband's final resting place like this!
00:50:56You, this is a memorial for all the fallen soldiers!
00:51:00It was bestowed by the Emperor to all of us!
00:51:03So, how dare you do this!
00:51:05If you tear it down, I'll press charges against all of you!
00:51:12You, this is a memorial for all the fallen soldiers!
00:51:15It was bestowed by the Emperor to all of us!
00:51:18So, how dare you do this!
00:51:20If you tear it down, I'll press charges against all of you!
00:51:23Well, what did you say?
00:51:24What did you say?
00:51:26Press charges against me?
00:51:27Ha ha ha ha!
00:51:30Mr. Crane is the law here, and I'm backed by him!
00:51:33Don't you realize that, huh?
00:51:34Listen to me!
00:51:35Even if I kill you, you won't have anywhere to turn to!
00:51:38Do you understand?
00:51:39Let's see who else among you wants to press charges against me now!
00:51:43Step forward!
00:51:44Anyone else?
00:51:45Get them out of here!
00:51:46All of them!
00:51:47Go!
00:51:48Come!
00:51:49Go!
00:51:50Get out!
00:51:51All right!
00:51:52Go!
00:51:52Get out!
00:51:53Get out!
00:51:54All the fallen, huh?
00:51:57What a choke!
00:51:59Doesn't the love matter anymore?
00:52:01Get out of here!
00:52:02Get out!
00:52:03Get out!
00:52:04Oh, no!
00:52:05Look at those people!
00:52:08Oh, my son!
00:52:10You'll have to step over our bodies to get through!
00:52:13You worthless bastards!
00:52:14Stop them now!
00:52:17Tear it all down!
00:52:18Get out of here!
00:52:21You won't get through us!
00:52:23It has to go over me!
00:52:24The loss!
00:52:25Even if it cost me everything, even my life!
00:52:27I won't let you through!
00:52:29I'll fight you to the end!
00:52:31It's a good loss!
00:52:33I'll fight you until the end!
00:52:36Davis!
00:52:37Look at this old hag!
00:52:38Hey, you worthless hag!
00:52:40You're really asking for death, huh?
00:52:42If that's what you really want, kill this woman off!
00:52:49Hey, you worthless hag!
00:52:50You're really asking for death, huh?
00:52:53If that's what you really want, kill this woman off!
00:52:55Yes, sir!
00:52:56Hey!
00:53:13Stop what you're doing!
00:53:18Who the hell are you to stop us, huh?
00:53:31Go ahead!
00:53:32Go and kill that busybody!
00:53:34I'll handle it if anything goes wrong!
00:53:39Go ahead!
00:53:40Go and kill that busybody!
00:53:42I'll handle it if anything goes wrong!
00:54:09Serves them right!
00:54:11You're right!
00:54:13You shameless bastards!
00:54:15You killed someone in front of me while obstructing Imperial Land Seizure!
00:54:18I can have you arrested at an exile from here!
00:54:21How dare you do that!
00:54:23Listen to me, huh?
00:54:24Since you're obstructing an Imperial Land Seizure,
00:54:27Mr. Quinn is cutting off all your pensions from now on!
00:54:31You won't get a single cent from it!
00:54:32No!
00:54:33You can't do that to us!
00:54:34My whole family depends on that pension to survive!
00:54:37My grandson depends on it for school!
00:54:39You can't cut it off!
00:54:40That's right!
00:54:40You can't do that!
00:54:41That pension belongs to us!
00:54:45Who are you to say that?
00:54:47Military pensions are official funds issued by the court for soldiers' families.
00:54:52By Imperial law, they're paid in a lump sum to registered households.
00:54:55Since when do you have the authority to change them to monthly payments, huh?
00:54:59Huh? By law, huh?
00:55:02I decide how the pensions are paid here!
00:55:06Monthly if I want it that way!
00:55:07Even no payments if that's what I want!
00:55:13Huh? By law, huh?
00:55:17I decide how the pensions are paid here!
00:55:20Monthly if I want it that way!
00:55:22Even no payments if that's what I want!
00:55:25Let me tell you the truth!
00:55:26He is Mr. Quint from the Military Pensions Office!
00:55:31This matter is under his control!
00:55:33What he says is the law to be followed!
00:55:36Huh? What do we do now?
00:55:37What if we can't get it back?
00:55:38Is that true?
00:55:40Alright, alright!
00:55:41I'll give all of you one last chance, okay?
00:55:44Disperse immediately!
00:55:46The military pensions will still be paid monthly!
00:55:48I'll give extra 30 coins for each household!
00:55:51Okay, wait?
00:55:52Go and leave!
00:55:53Hurry, all of you!
00:55:54Get lost now!
00:55:55Quick! Move!
00:55:56Wait a moment!
00:55:57Huh?
00:55:58Our soldiers fought for over 12 years, spilling their blood across the country!
00:56:03Only then did we achieve peace and prosperity!
00:56:06Yet you trespassed into the resting place of our fallen soldiers!
00:56:09What audacity you have!
00:56:11Heh!
00:56:12Why is it you again?
00:56:13Huh?
00:56:14You bunch of unruly commoners!
00:56:16I've reasoned with you!
00:56:17Do you think I'm bluffing?
00:56:18Huh?
00:56:19Brian!
00:56:20Here!
00:56:21From today onward!
00:56:23Stop everyone's pension payments!
00:56:25Globalize the troops now!
00:56:28Move!
00:56:29Just you wait!
00:56:30I'd see who dares stop struck when I want!
00:56:32Summon the troops here!
00:56:36Damon...
00:56:36I'm here!
00:56:38Come here!
00:56:39Huh?
00:56:49What are you doing?
00:56:51I am Mr. Quinn!
00:56:52From the military pensions!
00:56:53How dare you do this!
00:56:55Ha ha!
00:56:56Ha!
00:56:57Ha!
00:57:01What are you doing?
00:57:03I am Mr. Quinn!
00:57:04From the military pensions!
00:57:06How dare you do this!
00:57:07Ha ha!
00:57:08Ha!
00:57:09Ha!
00:57:11I clearly heard what you said to us.
00:57:14The pensions of those soldiers have all been embezzled by you.
00:57:18Monthly payment if you want to.
00:57:20No payments if you say so.
00:57:22What do you think you're doing?
00:57:24Do you think you're the law here, huh?
00:57:26Who the hell are you?
00:57:27The one who won all battles of the Southern Waste and granted the Divine General title by His Majesty.
00:57:33Open your damn eyes!
00:57:35Ha ha!
00:57:35The Divine General?
00:57:37The person standing before you is not only the Divine General appointed by His Majesty, but also General Reeds of
00:57:43the Crimson Legion.
00:57:44Ha!
00:57:44What are you, General Reeds?
00:57:46Ha!
00:57:47General Reeds?
00:57:48We're safe now.
00:57:52That's impossible!
00:57:53Why will General Reeds be here?
00:57:55Impossible!
00:57:56Answer me.
00:57:57Who gave you the audacity to embezzle military pensions of the soldiers?
00:58:03Is there a mastermind behind you?
00:58:08The General is asking me.
00:58:12I?
00:58:12Speak!
00:58:14Enough!
00:58:16It's nothing but a minor pawn.
00:58:18There's someone bigger who's behind you, isn't there?
00:58:21For you wouldn't keep your mouth shut like this.
00:58:23The person must be holding a very powerful position to keep you silent and protect him.
00:58:28You have an outrageous audacity to reach their hand into this and even embezzle the pensions of my soldiers.
00:58:35I don't care who you are.
00:58:37I, Gabriel Reeds, will capture you and make sure that justice is served.
00:58:41Take him away.
00:58:42Interrogate him.
00:58:43Find all his accomplices and execute them.
00:58:49I don't care who you are.
00:58:51I, Gabriel Reeds, will capture you and make sure that justice is served.
00:58:55Take him away.
00:58:56Interrogate him.
00:58:57Find all his accomplices and execute them.
00:59:01General, I was wrong.
00:59:02Please, spare me, sir.
00:59:03General, I was wrong.
00:59:14General, heaven and earth can't bear you kneeling in front of the memorial.
00:59:27This memorial is the iron monument of our country.
00:59:31I, Gabriel Reeds, swear.
00:59:34Whoever dares touch this, I will sever their hands.
00:59:37Whoever dares disturb this, I'll use their blood to honor it.
00:59:41My dear soldiers, open your eyes.
00:59:44Look upon this land.
00:59:48First bow is to the soil that holds the bones.
00:59:57Second bow is to the unyielding souls and not to the gods.
01:00:05Third bow is for our country to flourish forever, not for immortality.
01:00:23This toast is to the light of dawn that shines upon our land.
01:00:33This toast is to the iron-willed souls beneath our ground.
01:00:43This toast is to the countless people who stand behind me.
01:00:56Soldiers, hear my command.
01:00:57General!
01:00:59Investigate this.
01:01:00Distribute all the treasury funds to them.
01:01:03Ensure they receive it.
01:01:05Restore the Crimson Legion's memorial to console the spirits of our fallen.
01:01:09Thank you, General Moody's.
01:01:10Thank you, Divine General.
01:01:22Oliver, of the military pensions, was the forced demolition instigated by you?
01:01:29The evidence is concrete for embezzling the pensions.
01:01:33Do you admit to these accusations?
01:01:36General!
01:01:38I'm just falsely accused!
01:01:40As for the memorial, someone wanted the land for commercial use!
01:01:44I had no choice so I ordered it!
01:01:47As for the military pensions, I was only following orders!
01:01:51I had no choice but to follow him!
01:01:53Please look into this matter, General!
01:01:55Following orders?
01:01:57Whose orders are those?
01:01:59Speak truthfully!
01:02:02You say you're just following?
01:02:04Huh.
01:02:05The silver you embezzled was bought with the lives of troops and soldiers.
01:02:09The land you seized is the final resting place of all their fallen souls.
01:02:15Can following orders wash away your crimes completely?
01:02:19Speak!
01:02:20Who is behind you?
01:02:21Tell the truth!
01:02:23I-I-I can't say it!
01:02:25If I say it, my entire family will be killed!
01:02:30Do you really think that staying silent will save all of you?
01:02:34Embezzling military funds and pension!
01:02:37Under the military law, three generations of kin will be executed!
01:02:41Do you think your master...
01:02:43I really attacked you?
01:02:44Hmm.
01:02:49Hmm.
01:02:49Embezzling military funds and pension!
01:02:51Under the military law, three generations of kin will be executed!
01:02:56Do you think your master...
01:02:57can really protect you?
01:03:00Hmm.
01:03:03Just tell me his name.
01:03:04General Reeds may grant you a quick death and spare...
01:03:07all your family members' lives.
01:03:10Otherwise...
01:03:12Hmm...
01:03:12The Crimson Legion's methods for dealing with spies will make you wish that you should have died instead of experiencing
01:03:20it.
01:03:21Oh, okay, okay, okay, I'll say it!
01:03:24I'll tell you!
01:03:25It's someone from Eldoria!
01:03:26It's Carter!
01:03:30There's an assassin!
01:03:34Uh...
01:03:39Uh...
01:03:56Uh...
01:03:56General, this is my failure.
01:03:58That assassin is highly skilled and extremely familiar here.
01:04:02It is appeared we failed to capture him.
01:04:05Oliver said Carter before he took his last breath.
01:04:08Carter?
01:04:09The Carters are powerful officials in Eldoria.
01:04:12The most prominent is the Imperial Consort, the Empress's elder brother, Edward Carter, the Minister.
01:04:18He oversees the nation's finances, taxation, military funding, and pension distribution.
01:04:27The Carters are powerful officials in Eldoria.
01:04:30The most prominent is the Imperial Consort, the Empress's elder brother, Edward Carter, the Minister.
01:04:37He oversees the nation's finances, taxation, military funding, and pension distribution.
01:04:44Edward Carter, Imperial Consort, Minister of Revenue.
01:04:49Good.
01:04:50Very good.
01:04:51You have quite the reach, huh?
01:04:54You dare kill before my very eyes?
01:04:58Oliver may be dead, but these account books do not lie.
01:05:02Arya, send people immediately.
01:05:04Probe the pensions office and audit past records.
01:05:07Focus on the Crimson Legion and the Border Troops.
01:05:09Check every single pension payment, one by one if needed, to know the truth.
01:05:13I want to know how much of the soldiers' money has ended up in the pockets of these men.
01:05:18Understood.
01:05:19I will handle it, General.
01:05:21Damon, take a team of elite men.
01:05:24Expand the investigation.
01:05:26Cover Bayshore and the surrounding places.
01:05:28Collect evidence related to pension, seizure of military land, and any abuse suffered by soldiers' families.
01:05:34But do not alert them.
01:05:36I want to know how large this network really is.
01:05:39Aside from Oliver, who else is involved in this?
01:05:42How are they connected to their superiors, Mr. Carter?
01:05:45I accept the order.
01:05:46This must be reported to his majesty.
01:05:49These parasites are feeding on the lives of our soldiers, shaking its foundation.
01:05:54No matter their background or what position they hold, I, Gabriel Reeds, will uproot them completely to honor the Crimson
01:06:02Legion's fallen soldiers.
01:06:09Your majesty, every word I have said is true.
01:06:12I have witnesses and evidence, including records from the pensions office.
01:06:16Our soldiers die on the front lines, yet their families are exploited and bullied.
01:06:20Pensions embezzled, the fallen dishonored.
01:06:23Oliver is dead, but court officials may be behind him.
01:06:26If this isn't stopped, army morale will collapse, shaking the nation.
01:06:30I humbly request your permission to investigate.
01:06:32Whoever is involved must be punished to uphold the law and restore the army's morale.
01:06:38Gabriel, what you have said are all understood.
01:06:41Our soldiers are the pillars of the nation.
01:06:43Their blood mustn't be shed in vain.
01:06:45Their families must not be bullied.
01:06:47So I approve your request.
01:06:49I grant you a golden token of my presence.
01:06:52All military and civil officials in Bayshore and three prefectures must cooperate with you.
01:06:59However, Edward Carter, the Imperial Consort, is a key figure and the Empress's brother.
01:07:05Without solid evidence, do not take him lightly.
01:07:08I expect a thorough investigation with irrefutable proof.
01:07:11If his guilt is confirmed, I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:17Your majesty, I accept it.
01:07:19I will not fail your trust.
01:07:21I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:27That useless Oliver almost ruined everything.
01:07:28I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:28I have no choice but to show him no mercy.
01:07:32Your majesty, I accept it.
01:07:34I will not fail your trust.
01:07:36I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:38I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:47I will uncover the full truth on this.
01:07:48That useless Oliver almost ruined everything.
01:07:51Master's orders, all related to the account, books and letters, must be destroyed now.
01:07:55Leave no evidence against us to Gabriel.
01:07:58Do not worry.
01:07:59Most of it has been taken care of.
01:08:01The last few entries in Bayshore remain.
01:08:03They'll be settled tomorrow.
01:08:05Huh?
01:08:08Go inside!
01:08:20They clean things up, but no plan is flawless.
01:08:24Report this to the General now.
01:08:27Yes, sir!
01:08:31General, the accounts from the Pensions Office are meticulous.
01:08:35On the surface, there are no visible issues.
01:08:37But after comparing them with the War Ministry's records and the Prefecture's distribution records,
01:08:42I found a major discrepancy on the record.
01:08:45In the past three years, nearly 30% of all funds allocated in Bayshore have gone missing.
01:08:50The funds allocated to Crimson Legion show the most losses.
01:08:54Moreover, all the suspicious fund transfers lead back to Eldoria to merchants never formally investigated.
01:09:04General, we tracked down a merchant group.
01:09:06Their base in Bayshore is the warehouse from last night.
01:09:09They quickly reacted.
01:09:11They were clearly tipped off, sir.
01:09:13Look, General.
01:09:14Although this piece of paper is torn, the seal imprint is finely crafted.
01:09:18No ordinary merchant would use this.
01:09:19It's likely a variant of an official seal.
01:09:22Officials and merchants colluding with each other.
01:09:25It seemingly follows proper procedures, but it launders embezzled pensions.
01:09:30Impressive method.
01:09:30Oliver was nothing more than a pawn placed out front.
01:09:34The real masterminds are hiding in Eldoria behind those respectable trading houses.
01:09:40General, Eldoria is dangerous.
01:09:42Edward is deeply entrenched and backed by the Imperial Court.
01:09:45Even though we have His Majesty's token, without solid evidence, if we rush to investigate, we may face obstacles or
01:09:52even be framed instead.
01:09:53Do not forget, these pensions are meant to reach the families of soldiers.
01:09:58Every coin that was stolen represents a family that's been deprived and oppressed.
01:10:04Daemon, go to Bayshore now. Gather whatever evidence there is, especially from families of soldiers who've been mistreated.
01:10:11Their testimonies are crucial too.
01:10:13Also, keep a close watch on officials and merchants, possibly linked to Eldoria.
01:10:18Yes, sir!
01:10:19Arya, take my token and meet His Majesty.
01:10:22Make contact with officials from the War Ministry and Ministry of Revenue, those who are at odds with Edward among
01:10:26lower ranks.
01:10:28Also, reach out to the censorate who aren't afraid.
01:10:30We need more leads and more points of breaking.
01:10:34Understood.
01:10:41This has moved from the frontier to the court, but for the countless soldiers behind us and their families.
01:10:51I, Gabriel Reeds, will not retreat.
01:10:53This corruption must be eradicated the soonest.
01:11:18Mr. Carter, Oliver is now dead, but before he died, he may have mentioned the Carters.
01:11:24Gabriel has obtained His Majesty's token and is secretly investigated.
01:11:28Mr. Carter, Oliver is now dead, but before he died, he may have mentioned the Carters.
01:11:30Gabriel is nothing more than a soldier.
01:11:32He thinks his merit lets him defy a great power like me.
01:11:35This is so ridiculous.
01:11:37Does he really plan to audit the pensions?
01:11:40Then, we'll prepare a gift for him within those very accounts.
01:11:44Go, release the set of account books you prepared earlier.
01:11:48Make sure a few of the censorate officials accidentally come across them.
01:11:52Remember, it must look like Gabriel was trying to frame in a hurry, but instead,
01:11:57what happens is he exposes his own flaws by doing so.
01:12:02Yes, sir.
01:12:03And also, there are a few elders in Bayshore who know the truth.
01:12:06Do you think we should?
01:12:08No, no, no, no.
01:12:09No need for that.
01:12:11If we make too much noise, it'll arouse suspicion.
01:12:14Is Gabriel not looking for victims too?
01:12:16Then, let him find them because a few commoners' testimonies will never be enough to bring me down.
01:12:23What truly matters is the opinion at court.
01:12:27Handle it now.
01:12:35General, based on several officials contacted from the War Ministry and Ministry of Personnel,
01:12:40it is revealed that Edward is cautious.
01:12:43No direct evidence against him, but he has a habit of...
01:12:46collecting antiques, especially ancient inkstones.
01:12:49He owns several antique shops with large sums flowing through.
01:12:52It's believed to be laundering funds.
01:12:54Antiques.
01:12:55Their value is immeasurable.
01:12:57A perfect way to conceal wealth.
01:12:59Can we dig deeper?
01:13:03But he has a habit of collecting antiques, especially ancient inkstones.
01:13:08He owns several antique shops with large sums flowing through.
01:13:11It's believed to be laundering funds.
01:13:13Antiques.
01:13:14Their value is immeasurable.
01:13:15A perfect way to conceal wealth.
01:13:18Can we dig deeper?
01:13:19The largest he has is Ink House.
01:13:21The manager of the shop is Edward's relative.
01:13:23A possible lead.
01:13:25But security is a bit tight.
01:13:27It's hard to get close.
01:13:28Then don't approach the shop directly.
01:13:32Damon is in Bayshore right now.
01:13:34Some business is linked to Eldoria.
01:13:35One of them is Goldcrest Trading.
01:13:37They sell silk openly, but may really be dealing with Ink House in secret.
01:13:42I'll inform Damon to investigate, trading in detail.
01:13:45I'll also tell him to check Ink House's suppliers and buyers.
01:13:50Work both angles.
01:13:51We're short on time.
01:13:52We have support, but court pressure is rising.
01:13:56We must secure evidence as fast as we can before Edward's strength.
01:13:59Yes, sir.
01:14:03Mr. Cole, I heard that you were sidelined before because you accidentally offended Edward.
01:14:10But all of that is in the past now.
01:14:12However, I have heard of the matter that you asked about.
01:14:16Relief funds go from Minister of Revenue to the War Ministry, then local offices.
01:14:20It has many stages.
01:14:21Mr. Carter is skilled with numbers.
01:14:23He makes small adjustments under excuses like conversion, losses or even price control.
01:14:29That's what I know about.
01:14:31Small amounts add up to huge sums of money.
01:14:33He moves the money through trading houses and the accounts look really flawless.
01:14:36But where would key evidence be kept?
01:14:39Like ledgers or secret letters?
01:14:41He is a very cautious person.
01:14:43Important items stay with him or kept by his trusted aides.
01:14:46There may be a hidden room in his study, but his residence is heavily guarded now.
01:14:51To add to that, he visits Peace Monastery to burn incense.
01:14:54He spends half a day there while his attendants remain outside.
01:14:57It is suspicious.
01:14:59Peace Monastery?
01:15:12Mr. Cold, you may go.
01:15:21I'll speak to you on my return.
01:15:22All right.
01:15:29General, Damon has sent word to us.
01:15:32Goldcrest Trading and Ink House have large unexplained transactions.
01:15:35And furthermore, Goldcrest Trading's cheap goods are sold in Eldoria's antiques through Ink House and with extremely higher price tags.
01:15:41A huge difference.
01:15:42More importantly, they have found a bookkeeper of Goldcrest Trading.
01:15:45He was forced out over profit disputes.
01:15:47That's why he's willing to testify.
01:15:49He also handed over a copy of accounts.
01:15:51Several large expenditures are listed, including Carter residence and pensions converted to silver.
01:15:55Where are those records now?
01:15:57Damon is secretly escorting him at the account copy to Eldoria.
01:16:00They should arrive in about three days.
01:16:02Hmm. Good.
01:16:04This is a major breakthrough.
01:16:06I want you to assign our most skilled and discreet men to investigate the Peace Monastery at once.
01:16:11Be very cautious. Do not alert anyone.
01:16:13Understood.
01:16:16Mr. Carter, there is news from Ink House, sir.
01:16:19Secret inquiries have been made about major transactions, especially those related to Goldcrest.
01:16:25Gabriel is moving rather quickly.
01:16:28The bookkeeper's surname Brooke from Goldcrest has not been captured.
01:16:31Traces of his escape have been found.
01:16:33He is heading toward Eldoria.
01:16:35Reliable men have been sent to deal with them.
01:16:38Make sure he's intercepted.
01:16:40Alive or dead, I want him found, okay?
01:16:43And also, send a message into the palace.
01:16:46Ask Our Majesty if we can mention before the Emperor that a Frontier General, flush with success,
01:16:53meddles in state affairs.
01:16:54He's questionable.
01:16:55Yes, sir.
01:16:56As for the Peace Monastery...
01:16:58Everything there is normal.
01:17:00No need to visit it now.
01:17:02If Gabriel investigates that place, it may actually work for us.
01:17:07Hmm.
01:17:09Hmm.
01:17:15Everything there is normal.
01:17:17No need to visit it now.
01:17:18If Gabriel investigates that place, it may actually work for us.
01:17:39Here.
01:17:40Mr. Brooke.
01:17:46It's an ambush!
01:17:47Protect the witness!
01:17:48Attack!
01:17:49Attack!
01:17:51Attack!
01:17:53Attack!
01:18:03Who goes there?
01:18:18General Reeds, what brings you here?
01:18:21I was concerned.
01:18:22It seems they're desperate to silence the witness.
01:18:24We can't stay long.
01:18:25Go to a safe location now.
01:18:27General Reeds, this is the account book.
01:18:29I recorded this without anyone's knowledge.
01:18:32Goldcrest Trading funnels money to the corridors.
01:18:35That is the evidence.
01:18:37Most of it is found there.
01:18:39Mr. Book, on behalf of countless soldiers, I thank you for your courage.
01:18:48General, according to these accounts, this past four years, through Goldcrest Trading and Egghouse, it is,
01:18:55suspected embezzled pension funds have reached over 2 million silver dollars.
01:18:59Several entries point to Edward's close associates.
01:19:02Some even show records handled by his brother.
01:19:05The Peace Monastery team has reported back.
01:19:07Nothing unusual, but behind it is a private residence, used by Carter Residence's women.
01:19:12It's heavily guarded.
01:19:13When our men approached, they triggered a mechanism, so they stopped there.
01:19:17All these markings,
01:19:28Edward's most critical assets are most likely hidden either in Inkhouse or the Peace Monastery.
01:19:33The tight security confirms our suspicion.
01:19:36With this hidden ledger alone, we can already charge him.
01:19:40But to prove large-scale embezzlement and expose the entire network, we still need the original records or their confidential
01:19:46correspondence.
01:19:48General, neither location can be taken by force.
01:19:51Inkhouse is in a busy district, and Peace Monastery involves religious figures.
01:19:55If we cause a disturbance, we may be falsely accused.
01:19:59If force doesn't work, we will strategize.
01:20:02With our investigation getting so close to them, he must be on edge.
01:20:06Is it possible he'll check these key pieces of evidence?
01:20:08Very likely.
01:20:09Especially if he learns that Mr. Brooke has been rescued.
01:20:13Arya, increase surveillance.
01:20:15Keep watch on the Carter Residence, Inkhouse, and Peace Monastery.
01:20:18Look for Edward especially, and his most trusted associates.
01:20:21Understood.
01:20:24Damon, prepare your elite unit.
01:20:26Remain on standby.
01:20:26We're waiting for an opportunity for him to lead us to the location of the key.
01:20:31Understood.
01:20:37Damon, prepare your elite unit.
01:20:40Remain on standby.
01:20:41We're waiting for an opportunity for him to lead us to the location of the key.
01:20:46Understood.
01:20:46Yes, sir.
01:20:55Mr. Carter.
01:20:56The interception failed.
01:20:59Mr. Brooke was personally rescued by Gabriel.
01:21:02The ledger likely fell into his hands.
01:21:04In addition, we have noticed that several locations are being watched by unknown individuals.
01:21:11Gabriel, you're truly pushing me to the brink now, huh?
01:21:14This hidden ledger can point to gold crest trading, but it's not enough to bring me down.
01:21:19If they follow the trail further, that means we cannot wait any longer.
01:21:26You'll personally go to the underground vault of Inkhouse.
01:21:29Take everything from cabinet.
01:21:31C3 and cabinet E1, you understand?
01:21:33All letters.
01:21:34And account books there.
01:21:35Place them in those specially made copper chests that's firing.
01:21:39Before dawn tomorrow, use the transport of old goods as cover.
01:21:42And join the convoy out of Eldoria.
01:21:45Travel by sea and hand trade to replicate.
01:21:47What about Peace Monastery?
01:21:49Ah, that matter is the most critical, you know.
01:21:52But moving now will only raise Gabriel's suspicion.
01:21:56Ah, you must handle Inkhouse first, alright?
01:22:00As for Peace Monastery, I will find an opportunity.
01:22:14Who are you people?
01:22:16Are you trying to rob us?
01:22:18We're under Imperial order.
01:22:20What's being transported?
01:22:23Bestow discarded records.
01:22:29Hey!
01:22:30Hey, don't!
01:22:36Stop!
01:23:07Evidence is conclusive.
01:23:08Seize them.
01:23:09Go to the Carter residence.
01:23:15Evidence is conclusive.
01:23:16Seize them.
01:23:17Go to the Carter residence.
01:23:21I report under Imperial decree.
01:23:24We can confirm.
01:23:24Edward Carter, Minister of Revenue.
01:23:26Abuses authority.
01:23:27Used administrations.
01:23:29Imposed excessive levies.
01:23:30And imbezzled pension funds spent for border troops.
01:23:32Total exceeds 4 million.
01:23:34Countless soldiers' orphans are left unsupported.
01:23:36The fallen are dishonored.
01:23:39Here are Edward's handwritten secret letters.
01:23:42Including his hidden merchant ledger.
01:23:44Plus witness testimony and evidence.
01:23:47Please review, Your Majesty.
01:23:50Hmm.
01:24:04Your Majesty.
01:24:06I'm just strongly accused.
01:24:07I'm just being framed by General Gabriel.
01:24:09A general interfering in court and accusing an official.
01:24:13His intentions are really unforgivable.
01:24:18Your Majesty.
01:24:20Your Majesty.
01:24:21Hundreds have gathered outside the palace.
01:24:23Most are border troop families.
01:24:24They are holding blood petitions.
01:24:26Pleading for Your Majesty to punish officials who embezzled their pensions.
01:24:29And to restore justice for the fallen soldiers.
01:24:45You, Edward.
01:24:46I gave you one last chance.
01:24:49The border troop soldiers shed their blood for the nation.
01:24:52Dying on the battlefield.
01:24:53And yet, while their bodies were cold and helpless, you have fed on their family's tears.
01:24:59This crime defies all reason.
01:25:02This can't be forgiven.
01:25:26Edward Carter, Minister of Revenue, corrupt and has abused.
01:25:29His power on a massive scale, with severe consequences.
01:25:33He is hereby stripped of all titles and positions.
01:25:36Justice Ministry, Imperial Tribunal, and the censorate for a joint trial.
01:25:40He shall be punished.
01:25:41All of his associates too.
01:25:44All embezzled silver is to be fully recovered.
01:25:47And double the compensation is to be paid to the widows and families of the soldiers.
01:25:52I will make this judgment public before the nation.
01:25:54To enforce the law, comfort the fallen, and uphold justice.
01:26:01Your Majesty is wise.
01:26:03Mr. Gabriel Reads, Divine General, has uncovered this case.
01:26:08His service benefits the state.
01:26:10Reward him.
01:26:11Your Majesty, I do not seek rewards.
01:26:13I only ask that you allow me to use this case to launch a full investigation.
01:26:18Reform all abuses.
01:26:19Establish an independent body.
01:26:21And increase the compensation standards for fallen soldiers.
01:26:24Record your deeds so loyal souls may find peace and support.
01:26:27This is my wish.
01:26:28And that of countless soldiers.
01:26:30That's approved.
01:26:31This matter shall be led by you,
01:26:35in cooperation with War Ministry, Revenue, and Ministry of Israel.
01:26:40Your Majesty, I accept the decree.
01:27:12Soldiers, you may now rest in peace.
01:27:16I will continue to protect this land.
01:27:19And this world will become worth protecting.
