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, alright?
00:00:37No, we need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:52Excuse 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!
00:01:20Get out of the way!
00:01:42Child! Child! Where are this boy's parents?
00:01:46Oh!
00:01:50This is formed from ice magic.
00:01:55He carries a talent for ice magic.
00:01:58A skill that hasn't appeared in 300 years.
00:02:07Ethan!
00:02:08Ethan, I got you your cake!
00:02:10Ethan?
00:02:11Ethan!
00:02:15Ethan!
00:02:16Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:17Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:20Ethan!
00:02:21My son!
00:02:34Doctor, the boy.
00:02:35The injuries are severe.
00:02:36You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:38Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:41Open the portal!
00:02:43Now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:52The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan!
00:03:00My soul!
00:03:08The joy!
00:03:14faculty and staff.
00:03:15I love you.
00:03:30It's hard to say you miss them!
00:03:31And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.

00:24:21take him down
00:24:37and
00:24:38Danger!
00:24:56What's wrong with you? Attack!
00:25:11Where is it? Where did the beast go?
00:25:14Hey! You useless creature! Get out here! My hundred gold coins!
00:25:22Why? Doesn't nobody like him have magic?
00:25:26Impossible.
00:25:28Three hundred years and not one ice maid in the whole empire!
00:25:34How could such a long dead power appear in this wretch?
00:25:40I know what this is. Dark magic. Forbidden black magic!
00:25:45So that's where you've been all these years? Walking a cursed path?
00:25:50Ethan! You sold your soul for this filth?
00:25:53No. My son is not that kind of man!
00:25:58Stop making excuses. Your son is finished. Dark magic is punishable by death.
00:26:05My love. Come quickly. There's a heretic using black magic. Hurry!
00:26:10What? I'm on my way!
00:26:12Hear that?
00:26:15Sienna is coming. She's Lord Garrett's own confidante.
00:26:19You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:32You can rot in the dungeon!
00:26:35Who dares practice dark magic? The legion will not tolerate this.
00:26:42My love! You're here!
00:26:45This wretch killed my beast with magic! He tried to kill me!
00:26:50Someone laid a hand on my man in the Northern Territory. I'll make him pay.
00:26:56You're finished, Crociana. And you crossed the entire Northern Legion.
00:27:03What are you smiling at? You think you're walking out of here alive?
00:27:07You're the one who hurt my man? Lowborn filth. I'll make sure you beg to die!
00:27:23Careful, my love. He disguises the black magic as ice magic to deceive people.
00:27:27There has been no Ice Macer in this kingdom for 300 years. And you thought you could fake it? Fool.
00:27:33Your ignorance only shows how low you rank in the Legion. You've never had access to the top.
00:27:38How dare you! Lord Garrett himself says my word is law here! I have the power to execute filth like
00:27:45you!
00:27:47Is that what Lord Garrett teaches you to do?
00:27:49You lowborn animal! How dare you speak his name so freely!
00:27:54Is he so great? Then I'll have him come to me right now.
00:28:01Garrett, come. Now!
00:28:09Garrett, come. Now!
00:28:17Assemble the full guard! Move! With me!
00:28:22Practicing dark magic is a capital offense.
00:28:25Arrest them all! Take them to the dungeon! They face execution!
00:28:30Father, Mother, don't be afraid. I'll protect you.
00:28:34Once they're dead, that 50 gold settlement is all ours!
00:28:42I can't fight here. I won't destroy the house. This is the home my parents guarded their whole lives.
00:28:48I'll go with you. But my parents stay.
00:28:51No! If you go with them, you'll die!
00:28:53Don't worry. We're your mother and father. We'll protect you. Ha! Lost your nerve? Where's all that big talk now?
00:29:01Fine. Those two old wrecks won't last much longer anyway.
00:29:10Father, Mother. Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
00:29:15Ethan! Ethan!
00:29:17Now!
00:29:18Honor his feteal devotion then. Trade your lives for his.
00:29:22Ha!
00:29:25Ethan!
00:29:27Come on!
00:29:28Aw!
00:29:34Where is he?
00:29:35Tall, handsome, dressed in rough cloth and a leather apron.
00:29:38Where did he go?
00:29:39Your men took him.
00:29:41They said they were taking him to the wasteland for execution.
00:29:44Please save my son.
00:29:46Execution?
00:29:50Execution?
00:29:54Thomas, what do we do?
00:29:56Don't panic.
00:29:57Remember, Ethan was betrothed as a child.
00:30:01You mean Isabella's family?
00:30:02They were as poor as us back then, but they've grown rich.
00:30:05Frost Village wealthiest family.
00:30:07They cut ties with us years ago.
00:30:09They're our last hope.
00:30:10Perhaps they will save Ethan for old time's sake.
00:30:28Chose quite the place to die.
00:30:30Any last words?
00:30:38Ethan, kneel nicely and I might make it quick.
00:30:41And those 50 gold coins will be ours.
00:30:43Small comfort for what you did to my darling, but it'll do.
00:30:48My love, once we have that money, I'll buy you the most beautiful dresses.
00:30:52New shoes for my parents, too.
00:30:58I warned you.
00:30:59Cross the Legion and you pay a price you cannot afford.
00:31:03What right do you have to speak for the Legion?
00:31:08Ethan, still boasting with death at your door?
00:31:15No.
00:31:17Death is at yours.
00:31:34This fool actually thinks he's the commander.
00:31:38The commander?
00:31:39Have you ever even seen the commander?
00:31:41Only someone of Lord Garrett's rank would even qualify.
00:31:44Your rank is too low.
00:31:46You're not worthy.
00:31:47You vile creature.
00:31:51Scared now?
00:31:52Beg me and maybe I'll let you off.
00:31:55Is this all you can muster?
00:31:56You truly think this is enough?
00:31:58Gutter trash.
00:32:00There you go again with the big talk.
00:32:02Make him hurt.
00:32:06These soldiers are Legion elite.
00:32:10Any one of them could crush an ant like you.
00:32:15Rise.
00:32:21See that?
00:32:23Scared.
00:32:23Too late.
00:32:25Is that all you've got?
00:32:26Against you?
00:32:28More than enough.
00:32:29This level?
00:32:30I could put it out with a flick of my fingers.
00:32:33You arrogant wretch.
00:32:34I'll grind you to ash.
00:32:35Combine!
00:32:38You're doomed.
00:32:39You're doomed!
00:32:46How is this possible?
00:32:50This can't be.
00:32:53I can't move!
00:32:54Let go!
00:32:56Help!
00:32:58Stand down!
00:32:59All of you, stand down!
00:33:05Commander!
00:33:07Commander!
00:33:08Commander!
00:33:08Thank goodness you're here!
00:33:10Kill this madman!
00:33:12What is going on here?
00:33:14Commander!
00:33:15This lowborn wretch used dark magic and killed all my soldiers!
00:33:18Now he wants to kill me!
00:33:21Striking Sienna is the same as striking you, sir!
00:33:25This is a declaration of war!
00:33:27Lord Garrett is here.
00:33:29You're doomed.
00:33:34You're dead.
00:33:42Sir, have you struck the wrong person?
00:33:45That one's over there!
00:33:47Silence!
00:33:49And you!
00:33:54You lawless animals!
00:33:58He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:08Commander, your subordinate Garrett failed to discipline his men.
00:34:12They offended the commander.
00:34:13I await your punishment.
00:34:15We await your punishment, Commander!
00:34:18Commander?
00:34:23Sir, look at how he's dressed.
00:34:25How could he possibly be the commander?
00:34:27Commander Marcusis, I can bear witness.
00:34:29He's just the son of a poor relative of mine.
00:34:31They just found him today.
00:34:33It's true.
00:34:34Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:34:36Just look.
00:34:36How could a penniless blacksmith be the commander?
00:34:44Open your eyes!
00:34:46This is the youngest commander in the Empire's history!
00:34:50The new...
00:34:51The new commander?
00:34:52This can't be...
00:34:53This can't be...
00:34:57Effective immediately, you are stripped of all military rank.
00:35:01You are demoted to the lowest common class.
00:35:05No!
00:35:06Commander Garrett, I was wrong!
00:35:12He's the commander.
00:35:13Commander, does that mean Thomas' family is about to strike it rich?
00:35:18Commander, it was all Marcus who deceived me tonight.
00:35:22Anything you want, if you let me go, tonight.
00:35:25No, every night from now on, I'm yours.
00:35:28You can do anything you'd like to me.
00:35:30You terrible woman!
00:35:31What do you think you're doing?
00:35:32This is your fault!
00:35:34If you weren't such a useless rest, I'd never have crossed the commander!
00:35:38Take them away.
00:35:50Commander, Victor and Marcus' family are in custody.
00:35:53Also, a contact reports your parents just left home
00:35:56and went to the estate of Isabella, Frost Village's wealthiest family.
00:36:00So I have a betrothed, do I?
00:36:02Yes, commander.
00:36:03Arranged when you were young.
00:36:04Make it happen.
00:36:06I have a more important task for you.
00:36:09Announce throughout the Northern Territory that three days from now
00:36:12I will hold a grand ceremony in the city.
00:36:14I will declare the identity of my birth parents publicly.
00:36:17No one will dare trouble them again.
00:36:20Understood.
00:36:20I'll see to it at once.
00:36:33Move along.
00:36:34This is not a place for beggars.
00:36:38My lord.
00:36:40My son holds a betrothal contract with Miss Isabella.
00:36:45The poorest person Miss Isabella's ever seen is her own stable hand.
00:36:49You two, rolling in the mud, dare speak of a betrothal?
00:36:53This is all our savings.
00:36:55Please, I beg you.
00:37:04Fine.
00:37:05Wait there.
00:37:11My lord.
00:37:13Any news yet?
00:37:16Why are you still here?
00:37:18Move on or I'll have you arrested.
00:37:20You took our money.
00:37:21That was everything we had.
00:37:24How could you deceive us like this?
00:37:27Savings.
00:37:28How much could beggars like you even have?
00:37:34Miss Isabella.
00:37:38Something stinks.
00:37:39Did someone leave rubbish out here?
00:37:43It's me.
00:37:44I'm Ethan's mother.
00:37:49So you're the two spreading rumours that I'm your son's betrothed?
00:37:58How could you hit her?
00:38:01Exactly what vermin like you deserve.
00:38:04You saw our family prosper and came crawling.
00:38:09That's not why we're here.
00:38:15So this is Frost Village wealthiest estate.
00:38:18Rather modest, honestly.
00:38:21Still denying it?
00:38:23Filth like you I've seen plenty.
00:38:25You want money?
00:38:26Just admit it.
00:38:37We don't want money.
00:38:39Do you remember the betrothal with our son?
00:38:43You two shameless wretcheds dare bring that up?
00:38:46You've been spreading that lie all over the village.
00:38:50No, we haven't.
00:38:51My son.
00:38:55Your son?
00:38:57Two old chromes who wallow in the mud.
00:39:00Your son must be worthless to leave you destitute.
00:39:04Know your place and get out.
00:39:08No, no, we don't want anything.
00:39:12Still here?
00:39:13Gone!
00:39:16No!
00:39:31And who are you?
00:39:33Child, you're really back.
00:39:35They didn't hurt you, did they?
00:39:36I'm fine, father, mother.
00:39:38They didn't dare.
00:39:39You're home.
00:39:40That's all that matters.
00:39:42Oh, and who might this is?
00:39:44Another pewter by the look of it.
00:39:46You dare stand at the gate of my estate.
00:39:48That is enough, Isabella.
00:39:50Don't think being a woman will protect you from me.
00:39:53What are you playing at?
00:39:55Vermin from the gutter shouldn't stoil the air with their words.
00:39:58Isabella, watch what you say.
00:40:04Apologize.
00:40:05Now.
00:40:07Apologize?
00:40:08To you?
00:40:09Ethan, you cannot bear the consequences of my apology.
00:40:12In this town, one word from me and you disappear.
00:40:14Isabella, wonderful news.
00:40:16The most wonderful news.
00:40:18The Legion just issued an order.
00:40:2030 ships of premium spices and exclusive Mediterranean salt trading rights,
00:40:23all sent to your family.
00:40:24You're about to be the richest family in the region.
00:40:26Oh, really?
00:40:27Heavens.
00:40:28Is it true?
00:40:30Absolutely.
00:40:30My father is the Northern Territory governor, after all.
00:40:34So that's why these two old retchels turned up today.
00:40:37They heard word our family was about to strike it rich.
00:40:41Is that so?
00:40:43Parasites sniffing out the scent.
00:40:45They dare set their sights on some of the Legion favors.
00:40:48I'll discipline these bastards the Legion way!
00:40:57Lay a hand on me, and your father will lose his post.
00:41:02A blacksmith, all muscle and no sense.
00:41:05His lowborn peasant is far too brazen.
00:41:07His father is the Northern Territory governor.
00:41:09I'm telling my father!
00:41:10You're finished!
00:41:12No, it was all my fault.
00:41:15Mother, it's all right.
00:41:17Call him.
00:41:18Let's see what he does.
00:41:21Oh, a filthy commoner wants to see my father.
00:41:24Someone of my father's stature, and you think you can just summon him?
00:41:26A filthy cockroach who doesn't know his place.
00:41:32You two are the parasites, living off your father's names.
00:41:35So what?
00:41:37Even without magic, I'm a senior Legion commander.
00:41:39Can you say the same?
00:41:41Only those with magical talent may serve in the Legion.
00:41:44That is the law.
00:41:45You had quite some nerve.
00:41:50The law?
00:41:51My father is the law in the Northern Territory.
00:41:54A governor this arrogant.
00:41:58My father is more than a governor.
00:42:01Do you have any idea how much the new commander values Lord Garrett?
00:42:05Values him?
00:42:06News to me.
00:42:07The new commander arrives in the Northern Territory in three days.
00:42:10That alone is the highest honor for my father.
00:42:12Enough.
00:42:13Stop wasting words on this cockroach.
00:42:17You said really true.
00:42:18My father's word is never wrong.
00:42:20Three days from now, the new commander holds a public ceremony in the central square.
00:42:23I need to get a new gown ready at once.
00:42:27Three days from now, I'll have a gift for you too.
00:42:32One you'll never forget.
00:42:50Garrett has planted men in the honor guard.
00:42:52They may make a move at tomorrow's ceremony.
00:42:54He can't beat me.
00:42:56Everything proceeds as planned.
00:42:57Understood.
00:43:00Sam, I need to ask a favor.
00:43:02As brothers.
00:43:03Name it.
00:43:07Take my parents far from the Northern Territory.
00:43:10As far as possible.
00:43:12I don't want them caught in the middle.
00:43:14Done.
00:43:15Thank you, Sam.
00:43:17You know, I've never thought of you as a subordinate.
00:43:21You are the brother I trust most.
00:43:25I'll head out now.
00:43:37Coming here was too dangerous.
00:43:38Don't worry.
00:43:40Don't worry.
00:43:41He'll never expect his sworn brother to be the one plotting his downfall.
00:43:45You have his trust.
00:43:48Trust.
00:43:49Trust.
00:43:49To him, I'm nothing but a convenient tool.
00:43:52Good.
00:43:54Hold on to that hatred.
00:43:59Tomorrow, Ethan loses the thing he's most proud of.
00:44:13Once I win the commander's favor, a dukety is practically mine.
00:44:20Once I've captivated the commander, I'll have a man with magic, unlike this useless dead weight.
00:44:26The commander is here!
00:44:45Ethan!
00:44:46Why didn't you tell me you were the commander?
00:44:48That makes me the commander's wife.
00:44:50We do have a betrothal, after all.
00:44:53Isabella!
00:44:54What are you doing, you shameless horitz?
00:44:57Get back here!
00:44:58You have no shame.
00:45:01Yesterday, you humiliated me and my parents, called us worthless filth.
00:45:05Now you want to be my betrothed?
00:45:06It was all my fault.
00:45:09I didn't know you were the commander.
00:45:12Ethan, please give me a chance to make it right.
00:45:15Take her away.
00:45:16And revolt the Thorn family's salt trading rights in the Mediterranean.
00:45:20No!
00:45:21My family is already in debt.
00:45:23Without that contract, we'll be ruined!
00:45:25This man holds no magical talent, yet infiltrated the Legion and took a post.
00:45:32Take him to prison immediately.
00:45:34Commander!
00:45:36Fitz is still young.
00:45:37Allow me to take him home and discipline him myself.
00:45:40You would defy a direct order.
00:45:42I advise you to think carefully.
00:45:44This is the Northern Territory.
00:45:46I call the shots.
00:45:47Move against my son and you'll see how ruthless I can be.
00:45:54What are you going to do?
00:45:56I have men positioned in all four directions.
00:46:00One signal from me and they will destroy the barrier.
00:46:04When the beasts flood the city, every man, woman and child will die.
00:46:09Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:46:13You're insane!
00:46:30You...
00:46:32You're insane!
00:46:32You're insane!
00:46:33You're insane!
00:46:34Let me go!
00:46:36Where are my parents?
00:46:38What have you done with them?
00:46:46Give up.
00:46:48That is a mage binding chain that doesn't just restrain your power.
00:46:53In one hour, it will drain your magic entirely and leave you a broken man.
00:46:59Sam, I always thought of you as the brother.
00:47:02I trust with my life.
00:47:04Why?
00:47:05You hypocrite!
00:47:07Even now you lie.
00:47:09If it weren't for you,
00:47:11if only you didn't exist,
00:47:14the commander's seat would have been mine!
00:47:18You have no idea what I gave to become commander.
00:47:21I trained every hour of every day.
00:47:23I pushed through every injury.
00:47:25I could suffer anything if it meant I could become commander.
00:47:28And then there was you.
00:47:30You beat me without trying.
00:47:32You took everything I ever wanted.
00:47:34You made me this shameful loser!
00:47:37Sam, you haven't lost.
00:47:39You've let obsession blind you.
00:47:41I have always seen your effort.
00:47:43Your worth.
00:47:44In my eyes,
00:47:46you are already one of the greatest mages in the kingdom.
00:47:49You knew.
00:47:51Release the chain.
00:47:52Let us speak plainly.
00:47:57He's manipulating you!
00:47:59Do you want to be a deputy for the rest of your life?
00:48:01Exactly!
00:48:03Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:06Don't listen to him, Sam!
00:48:06Sam, stop struggling.
00:48:08Every soul in this city is about to die because of you.
00:48:11You'll be thrown from the commander's seat and cursed for a thousand years.
00:48:26My son!
00:48:27It's useless.
00:48:28Only the owner can open the mage-binding chain.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:31You spent three months developing it.
00:48:33You've always been brilliant.
00:48:34That means nothing right now!
00:48:41Enough!
00:48:42Don't waste our time!
00:48:44No!
00:48:45What are you doing?
00:48:46You promised you wouldn't kill Ethan.
00:48:48So that was their arrangement.
00:48:52Sam,
00:48:53do you know why Ethan always outranked you?
00:48:56Because you are too soft.
00:48:58Poor little deputy.
00:48:59Think carefully.
00:49:01If Ethan were gone,
00:49:02who would be left to contest the commander's seat?
00:49:04Exactly.
00:49:05Ethan is the only one who needs to die.
00:49:08Don't believe them!
00:49:09They're using you!
00:49:10I think you're a smart man.
00:49:14You know what to do.
00:49:23Sam,
00:49:24you deserve victory.
00:49:26Do you really want to claim it through dirty tricks?
00:49:29Useless!
00:49:43Mother!
00:49:45No!
00:49:46Out of my way!
00:49:47No.
00:49:48A mother will never hide.
00:49:50Mother...
00:49:51Ethan,
00:49:52I am so proud of you.
00:49:54You've become such a wonderful man.
00:49:56You've already done so much for us.
00:49:59Now let us protect you.
00:50:00Get out of the way,
00:50:01you old fools!
00:50:02Two powerless wrenches.
00:50:04I'll send you all off together.
00:50:06Mother!
00:50:07Mother,
00:50:08get back!
00:50:09No.
00:50:10A mother should always protect her son.
00:50:13It was my fault.
00:50:15All those years ago,
00:50:16you suffered so much.
00:50:18Don't blame Mother.
00:50:19I failed you.
00:50:21I couldn't even buy you
00:50:23the sweet cake you loved.
00:50:25I, Garrett,
00:50:25am of noble birth.
00:50:27I do not strike those without magic.
00:50:29If you insist on standing in my way,
00:50:31take three strikes,
00:50:32survive them,
00:50:33and I'll let him go.
00:50:35His health has never been good.
00:50:37He's been ill for years.
00:50:39But...
00:50:39I'll take them.
00:50:41Perhaps I can hold.
00:50:43What are these fools dealing about?
00:50:44Do it, Father!
00:50:45Father!
00:50:47Father!
00:50:49Mother!
00:50:57Mother!
00:51:00Mother!
00:51:02Mother!
00:51:14Powerless fool!
00:51:15My father is the Northern Territory's greatest swordsman!
00:51:18That strike was a lesson.
00:51:21No one defies me in all the Northern Territory.
00:51:24Poor woman.
00:51:25Powerless.
00:51:26She doesn't stand a chance against Garrett.
00:51:42Mother!
00:51:47She's still standing.
00:51:54That was the first strike.
00:51:56I was merciful to hold back.
00:52:00Step aside now and you keep your life.
00:52:02No. My son needs me.
00:52:06I will not move.
00:52:08Mother.
00:52:10Then you die.
00:52:12No one in the Northern Territory has ever survived three of my father's strikes.
00:52:16Least of all, a frail old woman like you.
00:52:21You!
00:52:24What are you doing?
00:52:25You would betray my father?
00:52:28I...
00:52:31Garret held back on the first strike.
00:52:34But the second...
00:52:49I showed mercy once because you are old.
00:52:51That mercy is gone.
00:52:56Mother!
00:52:58Mother!
00:53:03Mother!
00:53:08She's finally dead!
00:53:10Ha!
00:53:10No one survives three of Garret's strikes.
00:53:13She gave everything she had.
00:53:16Lucy...
00:53:16Your sacrifice will not be wasted.
00:53:19Now it's my turn to protect our son.
00:53:30Ethan, you missed 20 years.
00:53:34But I am so glad I lived to see the man you've become.
00:53:38Far greater than I ever imagined.
00:53:42I'm sorry.
00:53:43I won't be able to walk beside you any longer.
00:53:46Ethan, I only hope you will be happy.
00:53:55I give you no more chances.
00:53:58Die!
00:54:12I...
00:54:12Lost again?
00:54:13Lost again?
00:54:21How...
00:54:21How are you still standing?
00:54:25No matter how hard I try.
00:54:36How is your mother?
00:54:38Safe.
00:54:40She's no longer in danger.
00:54:41But we need to get her to a healer.
00:54:44Then let's go now!
00:54:49I think you can just walk away.
00:54:58The barrier?
00:54:59You said you wouldn't touch the barrier!
00:55:02Sam.
00:55:03You are far too naive.
00:55:05Did you really think your mage binding chain was enough?
00:55:08Of course I had a backup plan.
00:55:10It's your own fault you're useless!
00:55:11You!
00:55:18I...
00:55:30No!
00:55:32No!
00:55:42Grand Commander, Ethan!
00:55:44The magical barrier needs your magical energy!
00:55:47Father, mother, wait just a little longer.
00:55:49Once the barrier's restored, I'll come straight back.
00:55:51Go, child, we'll be here.
00:55:54Begin restoring the barrier.
00:55:56Now.
00:56:04Commander, please channel your energy!
00:56:17Father, are we just going to wait while they repair it?
00:56:21Ethan, you will not win.
00:56:23You insist on stripping me of my governorship.
00:56:26I'll burn the Northern Territory to the ground before I give it up.
00:56:29Release me, now!
00:56:32Commander, we cannot lift our hands from the ground until the barrier's restored.
00:56:36Not one thread of magical energy can escape.
00:56:39If it does, everything is lost.
00:56:45We are safe.
00:56:47The repair circle protects those channeling it.
00:56:50Is that so?
00:56:52And what about those two?
00:56:58Let's see how lucky you are this time.
00:57:07Commander, don't let go!
00:57:11Without the barrier, the entire Northern Territory will...
00:57:15So what?
00:57:17Peasants and commoners.
00:57:19Worthless.
00:57:21If they die, they die.
00:57:23Exactly.
00:57:24Honestly, we are nobility.
00:57:27Superior by birth.
00:57:29Commander, 300,000 commoners live here.
00:57:33The loved ones of soldiers, the Legion...
00:57:37Who doesn't have loved ones?
00:57:39Think of the sacrifice your parents made to protect you.
00:57:42Can you really bear to let them die?
00:57:55It's all right, Ethan.
00:57:57We'd never blame you.
00:57:59This is the right choice.
00:58:02We're proud of you.
00:58:04Silence, old man!
00:58:07My poison dagger.
00:58:08This venom makes a man feel every cut before he dies.
00:58:13Ethan, remember...
00:58:15All of this is your fault.
00:58:34Are you insane?
00:58:36You dare betray me?
00:58:37You broke your oath first.
00:58:38You swore you wouldn't hurt anyone.
00:58:40He never truly meant to harm me.
00:58:43Sam was only led astray.
00:58:45Sam, you brought this on yourself, every bit of it.
00:58:48Sam!
00:58:49You did the right thing!
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51I made the right choice.
00:58:53You believe his lies?
00:58:55Fool!
00:58:56Every man who reaches the top has blood on his hands.
00:58:59That's why you'll never be Ethan's equal!
00:59:02Useless!
00:59:08You are the brother I trust.
00:59:14You'll always be worthless.
00:59:38father!
00:59:40Arrest Northern Territory Gover Garrett and his son Fitz.
00:59:43Take them to prison at once.
00:59:45Have them confess every crime, one by one.
00:59:50You know what to do with those who refuse.
00:59:53Ethan, listen to me! My family has money! I'll give you whatever you want! Take it all!
00:59:57This was all my father's doing! None of it was me!
01:00:07Get them to the healer! Now!
01:00:13You.
01:00:19Commander.
01:00:32Thank you for saving the Northern Territory.
01:00:35It was my duty.
01:00:38No. You made a great sacrifice. We are grateful.
01:00:42Commander. My parents live by the city wall.
01:00:45If the beasts had broken through, they would have been the first to die.
01:00:48You saved our families. We owe you our lives.
01:00:55Yes. We are all wall guards. Without you, every one of my brothers would have died.
01:00:59Rise. On behalf of the Legion, I thank you for your service, day after day.
01:01:24Ethan!
01:01:26Mother!
01:01:29What happened? Where am I?
01:01:31You lost too much blood and fainted. The Commander healed you with magic. You're safe now.
01:01:36He has some old ailments. He needs to take medicine, but he will be fine as well.
01:01:42Ethan.
01:01:44The King wishes to see all of you.
01:01:50Lucy.
01:01:51Thomas.
01:01:52You have shown courage and kindness.
01:01:54You were willing to sacrifice yourselves to protect the people of the Northern Territory.
01:01:58The Kingdom of Floria is moon honored to have subjects such as you.
01:02:01Therefore, I hereby forstow upon Thomas the title of Earl, and upon Lucy the title of Countess.
01:02:08Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:12Legion Deputy Commander Sam.
01:02:20Sam, you betrayed the Legion, injured your commander, and dealt a blow to the Legion's honor.
01:02:25However, on account of your remorse and service in rescuing the Earl and Countess, the Tribunal has weighed your crimes
01:02:31and judged them cleared.
01:02:33Effective today, you are relieved of all duties.
01:02:38Thank you, Your Majesty.
01:02:42Ethan.
01:02:46I am here.
01:02:49You were fearless in the face of death, and you saved the people of the Northern Territory.
01:02:54You are worthy to be Grand Commander.
01:02:59It was only my duty.
01:03:02I hereby declare...
01:03:04My most precious daughter, Princess Rowena, shall be given in marriage to you.
01:03:09It is my honor to wed the Princess.
01:03:11I hereby swear...
01:03:13So long as my banner flies over the Northern Territory, no war shall ever reach the hem of Your Highness's
01:03:17gown.
01:03:18One final matter.
01:03:19I declare that Ethan is, from this day forward, Crown Prince of the Kingdom.
01:03:31This is as far as you go.
01:03:34Your parents are waiting for you.
01:03:35Are you truly leaving?
01:03:37Stay and think it over.
01:03:39The Legion needs you.
01:03:42Not after what I've done.
01:03:44We fought side by side, and I nearly destroyed their families.
01:03:49They wouldn't want to see me.
01:03:51But in the end you still-
01:03:52Ethan.
01:03:53I'm going out to find myself.
01:03:55Train.
01:03:55Maybe one day I'll come back stronger than you.
01:03:58Very well.
01:03:59I'll be here waiting for your challenge.
01:04:02Perhaps I will be the one to claim victory.
01:04:05I won't hold back.
01:04:07I'll be waiting.
01:04:20Ethan.
01:04:22Father.
01:04:23Mother.
01:04:24Are you alright?
01:04:25I was worried about you.
01:04:26I'm fine.
01:04:26I'm just happy.
01:04:27From now on we will never be separated again.
01:04:29Yes.
01:04:30Our family will always be together.
01:04:32Always.
01:04:33Always.
