00:00:03Oh no, they're on us! Warriors, do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:18Gods, help me! I was a fool! I should have listened to Hera! I should never have led the campaign!
00:00:25Never set foot in the Orc Empire!
00:00:34Poor Bugs!
00:00:50Hera...
00:00:51Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:10The gods are punishing me.
00:01:13Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name that would outlive me, and
00:01:20nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin.
00:01:22Your Majesty, just save your strength. You need to stay alive.
00:01:28My time's over. Moses is too young, too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone.
00:01:34Your Majesty...
00:01:35Then hear my final command. Guide him. Protect him. Don't let Cayde fall.
00:01:41Moses...
00:01:41Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Cayde, this kingdom will never
00:01:46fall. Listen to her. You're bound together by your engagement. Rule this land side by side.
00:01:52Father, I swear it. I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her, and listen to her. I'll become the
00:02:00king this kingdom needs.
00:02:02The gods' power isn't endless. But for Moses, for Cayde, I'll give everything I have.
00:02:09Good. Good.
00:02:14Father! Father!
00:02:17Long live the king!
00:02:22Rise.
00:02:23Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:29of Cayde grew stronger with each passing day.
00:02:31But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds, and slowly drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:40Your Majesty! Urgent news from the border! The Orc Empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:46Those beasts dare invade Cayde? Who will drive them back for me?
00:02:52I'll lead the army, drown the border in their blood, and bring peace back to Cayde.
00:03:01Hera, I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you. When you return victorious, I'll honor our
00:03:08engagement. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony this kingdom has ever seen.
00:03:12My king, I won't fail you.
00:03:19Poor humans! You dare stand in the way of the Orc Empire? Today, every last one of you die!
00:03:32The Scepter of Light? You're carrying the relic!
00:03:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! So your godly power has limits after all.
00:03:44Charge! Kill this bitch! Kill humanity's last godsworn! Crush the woman-guarded court into utter despair!
00:03:54Fall back!
00:04:05In the gods' name, Godfall Ashgrave!
00:04:13You witch-rust woman! We'll return! And when we do, how will you alone stand against my million-strong tide
00:04:21of beasts?
00:04:21No!
00:04:32Commander! Dear god! You're gravely wounded! I'll get a healer right now! Just hang on!
00:04:40I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:47Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course! Now the king must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cady's history!
00:05:06Your Majesty.
00:05:08Hera.
00:05:15Hera!
00:05:16Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty.
00:05:23What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war.
00:05:28And you still dare question me?
00:05:31One border war dragged on for three whole years.
00:05:34You had the power of the gods, yet countless K-Dade soldiers still died.
00:05:38Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war. Food and weapons.
00:05:42You nearly bled this kingdom dry, and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:46Your Majesty. That was a million-beast horde. Even a godsworn has limits.
00:05:50He's right! Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already!
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the godsworn. Someone with her power should have ended the war long ago.
00:05:59The only reason it dragged on is because she wanted it to.
00:06:02She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:06What exactly were you plotting?
00:06:08Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people.
00:06:12I nearly gave my life for this victory.
00:06:14Enough! Shut your mouth!
00:06:15As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent.
00:06:18Irene will take your place.
00:06:19She understands strategy and politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:23Irene has never led an army. She knows nothing about war or governance.
00:06:26Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's grain with your own hands.
00:06:30How dare you?
00:06:31You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Kneel!
00:06:38Your Majesty, please reconsider her.
00:06:40Hera sled blood for this kingdom!
00:06:42You can't treat her like this!
00:06:44Treasonous fool! You dare oppose the king's command?
00:06:47Guards! Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances.
00:06:54Now there are only two left.
00:06:57When they're gone, so am I.
00:07:02As you command.
00:07:04Hera.
00:07:06I made this for you myself.
00:07:08It carries my heart with it.
00:07:09In this life, I'll only ever love you.
00:07:12As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:15I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever.
00:07:19Without you, this crown means nothing to me.
00:07:21You're my only light, my only love.
00:07:24Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes, my king.
00:07:29I'd give everything for you too.
00:07:32This world only worships winners.
00:07:35Nobody pities foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:07:39You gambled everything on the battlefield, but the real war is fought on the throne.
00:07:44And you already lost.
00:07:46I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom.
00:07:49My wounds reopen every night.
00:07:52I cough blood in silence.
00:07:54Yet he never noticed.
00:07:56Never cared.
00:07:58That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:07Commander, we fought through hell to save this kingdom.
00:08:11And this is how they repay you.
00:08:13Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:18Power is just dust.
00:08:20It never mattered to me.
00:08:22Commander, the kings betrayed everyone.
00:08:25You gave everything to Cade.
00:08:27And this is what you got in return?
00:08:28To hell with that king!
00:08:30Commander, let's rebel.
00:08:32Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours.
00:08:36Enough!
00:08:38Commander, we don't care about power or glory.
00:08:42We just want to protect Cade.
00:08:43To protect the people under under God's blessing.
00:08:46Commander, the king's blind.
00:08:48And the court's full of vipers.
00:08:50A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the gods.
00:08:53That's enough.
00:08:54Get up.
00:08:55The late king raised me from nothing and entrusted this kingdom to me.
00:09:00Before he died, he placed Cade and Moses in my hands.
00:09:04I swore on the gods that I would never betray this kingdom.
00:09:07Never rebel.
00:09:08Commander, but the king-
00:09:10Enough!
00:09:11Never speak of this again!
00:09:15Commander, the Queen Mother summons you. Immediately.
00:09:26Your Grace.
00:09:27Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you.
00:09:30You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up here all because Moses is young and stupid.
00:09:35I've already reprimanded him, and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:38Please don't worry about me, Your Majesty.
00:09:40The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne.
00:09:44Everything I did was my duty.
00:09:46I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:51It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:09:57I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:09:59The late king swore this oath before the gods.
00:10:02It cannot be changed.
00:10:04If that is the will of the Queen Mother and the late king, then I will obey.
00:10:08Hera, you are the pillar of Cade.
00:10:10This kingdom owes you.
00:10:11Only with you beside Moses can Cade remain under the gods' protection.
00:10:18Commander, if this marriage makes you unhappy, I can speak to my brother.
00:10:21You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:22I've known the king almost my whole life.
00:10:25And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:42Commander, if you're angry, take it out on me.
00:10:45Even if I need to die, I will blame you.
00:10:52Hera! You dared to hit Irene!
00:10:54I swear by the gods.
00:10:56I never touched her. I would never hurt her.
00:10:59I saw it with my own eyes.
00:11:01And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:04Please calm down your majesty.
00:11:06Don't blame the commander.
00:11:08It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:10I deserve punishment.
00:11:11If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it.
00:11:16Hera!
00:11:17I order you to apologize to Irene right now.
00:11:20I did nothing wrong.
00:11:22Why should I apologize?
00:11:23Dare you disobey me?
00:11:24Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:44Hera!
00:11:45That was incredible!
00:11:46Teach me!
00:11:47Come here.
00:11:48I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind.
00:11:51Keep your arms steady.
00:11:53Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:11:55That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:00Hera, you're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:03When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:07I'll stay by your side forever and make you the happiest woman in Cade.
00:12:17Brother, stop!
00:12:18She's the pillar of this kingdom!
00:12:20You can't treat her like this!
00:12:22Cain!
00:12:24You dare defy me too?
00:12:25You want punishment as well?
00:12:28Hera spent her whole life fighting for Cade.
00:12:30She drove back the orcs and protected this kingdom.
00:12:32She's blessed by the gods.
00:12:34How can you treat her this way?
00:12:35And I saw everything clearly.
00:12:37It was Rean.
00:12:37She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:42Guards!
00:12:43Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers.
00:12:45He is confined till further notice.
00:12:52Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods.
00:12:57Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:01Your command over the armies is revoked,
00:13:03and the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be taken back immediately.
00:13:14As you command.
00:13:17One hundred chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:27Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:33Moses!
00:13:35That crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:39It represents honor and faith.
00:13:42Taking it back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:45Don't worry, mother.
00:13:47I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:49Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone.
00:13:53You stripped her power and took her crest.
00:13:55How will you face her afterward?
00:13:57Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera.
00:14:01Not me!
00:14:02If I don't crush her influence before the wedding,
00:14:05this kingdom will belong to her instead of me!
00:14:09Then make them know you.
00:14:13It's fine, mother.
00:14:15She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:17Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit.
00:14:20Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:22Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:27Don't worry.
00:14:27She's obeyed me for years.
00:14:29The gods bound us together.
00:14:30And besides, I don't want a legendary commander feared across the world.
00:14:34I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:36You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:38Besides, after her last campaign, her body's already broken.
00:14:41Taking away her command is for her own good.
00:14:43She needs rest.
00:14:44You're grown now.
00:14:45Just remember to control your decisions anymore.
00:14:49Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:51That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:01Your majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:05Let her in.
00:15:13The gods have blessed you, your majesty.
00:15:16Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king.
00:15:20I'm glad to see it.
00:15:22Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom.
00:15:26Your wounds are severe.
00:15:27Now that you've stepped down as commander,
00:15:29just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:32Before I leave the palace,
00:15:34this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, your majesty!
00:15:42The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:15:44They want peace talks!
00:15:46Guards!
00:15:47Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:49Approved.
00:15:50You may leave now.
00:15:51Hera, I know you've suffered lately.
00:15:54We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:15:59Your majesty.
00:16:02There's no after this anymore.
00:16:05There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera!
00:16:22Are you hurt?
00:16:24I'm fine. It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's nothing.
00:16:29No, that's not nothing.
00:16:29To me, you matter more than the throne, more than this kingdom, more than anything in this world.
00:16:39From this day on, we are neither ruler and subject, nor husband and wife.
00:16:50Hera!
00:16:51Hera!
00:16:52Come home safe.
00:16:53I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:16:58Hera!
00:17:00Do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:04Moses.
00:17:06Hera!
00:17:07Hera!
00:17:08The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods!
00:17:11I'll trust her and listen to her.
00:17:13I'll trust her and listen to her.
00:17:13I'll become the king this kingdom needs.
00:17:22This world is vast enough that we'll never see each other again.
00:17:32May the gods bless them!
00:17:34The king is finally marrying Commander Hera!
00:17:38What a glorious moment for Cade!
00:17:40I heard she lost her title, her army, even her sacred Christ.
00:17:44Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:46You don't understand.
00:17:48The king just wants her to put down her sword and live peacefully beside him.
00:17:51It's out of love.
00:17:51I see.
00:17:53Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:03Your majesty, we've arrived at Hera's estate.
00:18:07What nerve!
00:18:09The king himself arrives!
00:18:11Dare you not come greet him?
00:18:12This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:14Don't blame her.
00:18:16She's been hurt lately.
00:18:18I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:20What's wrong?
00:18:22Where's Hera?
00:18:24Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:37Stop!
00:18:38Stop!
00:18:44Your majesty!
00:18:46Tell me where Hera is.
00:18:48Answer honestly.
00:18:50Your majesty!
00:18:52Lady Hera left the capital the day she surrendered the sacred crest.
00:18:56I have no idea where she went either!
00:19:01What?!
00:19:02No!
00:19:03That's impossible!
00:19:04You're lying!
00:19:05Hera swore to my father she'd tech me, protect Kate!
00:19:07She swore before the gods!
00:19:08She would never leave me!
00:19:09Your majesty!
00:19:09I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you!
00:19:13Insolence!
00:19:13How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty!
00:19:16Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine!
00:19:22Your majesty!
00:19:23I swear by the gods!
00:19:24Lady Hera truly left the capital!
00:19:27Before she left, she ordered me to throw away all the old belongings in the estate!
00:19:31Hera, these night bracelets were offered by the Lord of the Eastern Territories.
00:19:35I saved them especially for you.
00:19:37Wear them, like I'm always by your side, protecting you.
00:19:40I love them.
00:19:42I'll treasure them forever.
00:19:43Old belongings.
00:19:45Could she mean, all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?!
00:19:51Over there!
00:19:52Half of them have already burned!
00:19:59No!
00:20:00Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:01No!
00:20:03Those were my gifts to her!
00:20:03No!
00:20:03No!
00:20:05No!
00:20:11Hera, look!
00:20:12This is our vow parchment.
00:20:14It says,
00:20:14I'll love Hera forever, and we'll never be apart.
00:20:17Yes. We'll be together forever, never apart.
00:20:25When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting.
00:20:31Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:36Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:40Guards! This man destroyed royal property! Execute him immediately!
00:20:44Mercy, your majesty! I swear by the gods! I didn't know those belonged to the royal family! Please spare me!
00:20:51You can't do this! He didn't know!
00:20:53Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:20:55What? You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant. If she hears about this, what will
00:21:02she think of you?
00:21:03Right. She just left. She can't have gone far yet. I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:08Hera no longer holds any office. You have no right to force her back.
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancé. I have every right to bring her
00:21:20back.
00:21:21Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom.
00:21:25That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods. A crime worthy of death.
00:21:31Exactly! Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:36Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word? Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:44Cain! Are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare.
00:21:49Enough! Get out! I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:55And you. Do you think this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not. This is all Hera's doing. She's manipulated everyone around her.
00:22:05She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers. That's why he keeps defending her.
00:22:10I knew it. Cain must have feelings for Hera. But now, how do I fix this mess? I thought marrying
00:22:18her would stabilize the kingdom. But she escaped, turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom.
00:22:25I have a solution, Your Majesty.
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:29The only way to calm the royal court and the people is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this
00:22:37crisis passes.
00:22:38Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's. You'll do.
00:22:44Your Majesty. I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for such a role.
00:22:48That was not a request. It's an order. Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:54I, as you command.
00:23:01Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved. From now on, they'll all belong to me.
00:23:08Hera, I am the King of Cade. The ruler of this world. No one's allowed to defy me.
00:23:24Hera, is that you? You finally came back to me. My Hera. I knew you were hurt before. But why
00:23:33wouldn't you just listen to me? I wanted to tell you everything. On our wedding night.
00:23:42Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you. But I'm a king. I wasn't
00:23:48just myself. Couldn't you have understood me just a little more? But don't worry. I'll make it up to you
00:23:55from now on.
00:23:57Irene. Irene even taught me. How to please a woman. I'll make you happy. I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:06Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:13Your majesty! We located Hera. She's currently in the Essos Ridge region. Great. I'm leaving immediately. I'll bring Hera back
00:24:21myself.
00:24:22Hera, you bitch. I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:29Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:38Your mind's somewhere else tonight.
00:24:40After everything you did for Cade. After all your victories. This is how the king repaid you. How can the
00:24:46world be this unfair?
00:24:47I spent my whole life fighting wars for the kingdom. Now that I finally have peace, you should be happy
00:24:53for me.
00:24:54Maybe so. But it's still so unfair. It's heartbreaking.
00:25:04Look out!
00:25:10Such strong magic. They aren't ordinary assassins.
00:25:18Hera. Time to die.
00:25:27Don't touch her!
00:25:30Don't touch her!
00:25:38Gareth!
00:25:41No!
00:25:47No!
00:25:50No!
00:25:57Your power is impressive. But your old wounds never healed. You're finished.
00:26:04Tonight, I'm taking your life.
00:26:08Who sent you?
00:26:10Who sent you?
00:26:11Who else in Cade has this kind of power besides the king himself?
00:26:15Don't touch her!
00:26:20Cain, stay with me. You can't die.
00:26:31Aathe!
00:26:38You can't die!
00:26:40So it's true, Hera. I knew there was something between you and Cain.
00:26:44I came all this way to bring you back, and this is what I find?
00:26:48Sneaking around with my own brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly? You're a prince.
00:26:53Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me?
00:26:55It's not worth...
00:26:57Lady Hera, you gave everything for Cade.
00:27:00For its people.
00:27:01It's my honor to save you.
00:27:03I dreamed of marrying you.
00:27:04Of ruling this kingdom together.
00:27:07And all this time, you were with my brother?
00:27:09Don't think I can't see the truth.
00:27:12You ran from the wedding because you wanted to elope with Cade.
00:27:17Brother, you've got it wrong.
00:27:20I... I only followed because I was worried Hera might be in danger.
00:27:23We... we weren't running away together.
00:27:26You expect me to believe that?
00:27:28If your majesty has already decided what to believe,
00:27:31then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say,
00:27:36guards, execute Hera now!
00:27:44That's a royal command!
00:27:46Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:48Your... your majesty,
00:27:49Hera fought and bled for this kingdom.
00:27:51Earned countless honors.
00:27:53You... you cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you have the guts,
00:27:56I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty,
00:27:59Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom.
00:28:02How... how can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:05Everything I've done in this life,
00:28:07I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:10Answer for yourself?
00:28:11Then what about our engagement?
00:28:13You abandoned me on our wedding day
00:28:15and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom.
00:28:17Did you ever think about me?
00:28:19Do you remember the document I handed you the last time I came to see you?
00:28:23You approved it yourself.
00:28:25The document?
00:28:27The document?
00:28:32Your majesty, I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:28:37They want peace talks!
00:28:40Approved.
00:28:41You may leave now.
00:28:42Someone!
00:28:43Bring me that document!
00:28:45Now!
00:28:51No!
00:28:52No, it's not true!
00:28:53This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read carefully.
00:28:58It's real.
00:29:00How?
00:29:01How did this happen?
00:29:03Why didn't I know about this?
00:29:04Who kept this from me?
00:29:05Who?
00:29:06It was you!
00:29:07Take him out and execute him!
00:29:09Now!
00:29:09Your majesty, please!
00:29:10I swear I hid nothing!
00:29:11You approved it without even a glance!
00:29:14Hera,
00:29:15I swear to the gods,
00:29:16I didn't know it was a cancellation document.
00:29:18Please believe me.
00:29:19It's already done.
00:29:21Our engagement was over.
00:29:22There's nothing left between us now.
00:29:24You promised my father!
00:29:26You promised to protect Cated,
00:29:28to protect my throne!
00:29:29I did.
00:29:31And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:33Then that means you can still-
00:29:34I once swore before the gods
00:29:35that I would give you 100 chances.
00:29:38You've used every last one.
00:29:40100?
00:29:41How could they all be gone already?
00:29:43No!
00:29:44You're lying to me!
00:29:45That was 100 chances!
00:29:47There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:48You are stripped of your position as regent.
00:29:50Irene will take your place.
00:29:52As you command.
00:29:55Pity's foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:30:02From this day on,
00:30:03we are neither ruler and subject,
00:30:07nor husband and wife.
00:30:14Now the 100 chances are truly gone.
00:30:18It's time to leave.
00:30:21Everything in Cato belongs to me!
00:30:23Including you!
00:30:25I'd kill you rather than let you leave me!
00:30:31Fine.
00:30:33If you truly want my life,
00:30:35then take it.
00:30:36Your Majesty!
00:30:38You can't kill her!
00:30:41She'd rather be killed than come back to me.
00:30:44Your Majesty!
00:30:45You can't kill her!
00:30:50Your Highness.
00:30:52You don't have to do this.
00:30:54Your Majesty.
00:30:55Lady Hera has done too much for Cade.
00:30:57If you kill her like this,
00:30:59the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:01She chose this herself.
00:31:02I didn't mean to.
00:31:04I beg you, Your Majesty.
00:31:06Spare her life.
00:31:07Why do you care about her so much?
00:31:09This isn't personal.
00:31:11But the people know right from wrong.
00:31:13If you execute a national hero without cause,
00:31:17neither the nobles nor the people will accept it.
00:31:19Good.
00:31:20Everyone says Hera has the people behind her.
00:31:22Power everywhere.
00:31:24Loyal followers everywhere she goes.
00:31:26Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:27Your Majesty.
00:31:28Please don't say that.
00:31:29The late King changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me.
00:31:32Believed in me.
00:31:33I'll never forget that kindness.
00:31:35So don't worry, Your Majesty.
00:31:37I will never rebel.
00:31:38You won't.
00:31:39But what about your men?
00:31:40Gavin, Arryn, Thor?
00:31:41Every one of them is a deadly commander.
00:31:43Can you guarantee they won't turn against me?
00:31:54I'll let them lay down their titles.
00:31:56The royal family will face no threat from them.
00:31:59You have my word.
00:32:00I can let you leave.
00:32:02But you must promise me.
00:32:03Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:05Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:07What a waste to be chained down by them.
00:32:09What's your tongue?
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs in front of me?
00:32:11Want to die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:15Swear before the gods that you will never serve anyone else for the rest of your life.
00:32:19Or you'll be punished with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:22I accept.
00:32:23I, Hera, swear before the gods.
00:32:25For the rest of my life, I will fight me for Cade and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:29I will never serve another kingdom or power.
00:32:31If I break this oath, may the gods deliver their harshest punishment upon me.
00:32:35Hera!
00:32:36You'd rather abandon all your talent and disappear into the wilderness than stay by my side?
00:32:40I already gave the first half of my life to Cade.
00:32:43I fulfilled the late king's final wish.
00:32:47Now it's time for me to leave.
00:32:49I want to travel the world, live the rest of my life in peace, and never involve myself in the
00:32:54kingdom again.
00:32:55You good, Hera!
00:32:56So you really think Cade will fall apart without you?
00:32:59That I can't rule this kingdom without you?
00:33:00You seriously overestimate yourself.
00:33:02I never thought that.
00:33:04That's exactly what you think.
00:33:05Lucky for Cade, there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds.
00:33:09With Irene leading the kingdom, Cade will thrive just fine.
00:33:13Better than ever, actually.
00:33:15I won't disappoint your majesty's trust.
00:33:21Moses is still young.
00:33:22I'm only trusting with him and the kingdom's future.
00:33:27I'll give it everything I have.
00:33:29The late king entrusted everything to me before he died.
00:33:32No matter what, I have to do last thing for Cade.
00:33:35Your majesty is wise.
00:33:36Before I leave, there are three things I beg you to remember.
00:33:40Interesting.
00:33:41So even you have something to beg me for now.
00:33:44First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:33:47The people are exhausted.
00:33:49Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:33:52I already know that.
00:33:54Second, the northern cities were only recently subdued.
00:33:57Morrill and his men are fierce and proud.
00:33:59While I was here, I could keep them loyal.
00:34:01Please treat them with mercy and respect.
00:34:03If you push them too hard, they will rebel, which will bring disaster to the kingdom.
00:34:15Lord Moriak!
00:34:16Unstoppable!
00:34:17One man against 10,000!
00:34:22Don't worry.
00:34:23Irene is the truly gifted one in Cade.
00:34:25She's far more capable than you ever were.
00:34:27Third, never trust the Orc Empire.
00:34:31Gromash and his court are brutal by nature.
00:34:33Never lower your guard around them.
00:34:36Finished, that's all.
00:34:38Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:40Don't underestimate these three rules.
00:34:42If you can truly follow them, Cade will be in peace for a hundred years.
00:34:48Hera, stop pretending to be so loyal.
00:34:50You disgust me.
00:34:51Every word I said came from my heart.
00:34:54Listen carefully!
00:34:55This kingdom won't stop without you.
00:34:56No, Cade will even become stronger than before.
00:34:58That's good.
00:34:59May Cade Kingdom prosper, and may my king be safe and well.
00:35:03Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cain away and treat his injuries immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:35The moment you left, all three of us were stripped of military command.
00:35:41We refused to continue serving that damned king.
00:35:44We suffered endless humiliation in the royal court.
00:35:48We would rather follow you, even if it means doing the roughest labor.
00:35:51Lady Hera, please don't leave.
00:35:54Cade cannot survive without you.
00:35:56You gave everything for Cade.
00:35:58We can't let you leave like this.
00:36:00Everything is settled.
00:36:01I have nothing left to stay for.
00:36:03I only wish to lay down my burdens and live a few peaceful years.
00:36:07During your years in power, you did so much for us.
00:36:10Now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero.
00:36:14We refuse to accept it.
00:36:17The royal court has wronged its greatest protector.
00:36:21That's right!
00:36:22All gatherings must come to an end someday.
00:36:25Everyone, please go home.
00:36:27Don't make things harder for Hera.
00:36:33May your road ahead be safe, my lady.
00:36:37May the rest of your life be peaceful and stable.
00:36:51You saw it with your own eyes.
00:36:54The people of this land recognize only Hera in their hearts, not the royal family.
00:36:58I will accomplish great deeds for the world to see.
00:37:00I'll make Hera understand who truly deserves to rule Cade.
00:37:05Your Majesty, I have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly
00:37:08and elevate your prestige far above Hera's.
00:37:11Speak!
00:37:12What plan?
00:37:13Though Hera is gone, her influence within the court still remains.
00:37:17Your Majesty should dismiss every official connected to her
00:37:20and replace them all with people loyal only to you.
00:37:23And you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and privileges.
00:37:27Only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly devote themselves to you.
00:37:32Only then will Cade truly belong to you.
00:37:35But the royal treasury has long been emptied.
00:37:38We simply don't have the money for increased rewards.
00:37:42Then raise the taxes.
00:37:45But before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes.
00:37:49Keep the people to live peacefully.
00:37:51You are mistaken.
00:37:52To secure royal authority, you must first secure the loyalty of those who hold power around you.
00:37:57Only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you.
00:38:01Hera wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes.
00:38:03She was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne.
00:38:08You mustn't fall for her tricks.
00:38:11What a scheming woman.
00:38:13Even after leaving, she's still plotting against me.
00:38:16As you said, deliver my order at once.
00:38:21Raise the taxes.
00:38:23Your majesty, as minister of agriculture, I present three treasures.
00:38:29Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepples.
00:38:33May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever.
00:38:39Excellent.
00:38:40Truly excellent.
00:38:41Cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you.
00:38:44I oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the Blacksteel Command Seal,
00:38:49the Lionheart Battle Armor, and the Hundred War Bone.
00:38:53May Cade Cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us.
00:38:57Well done.
00:38:58That's Irene's brother.
00:38:59You've forged Cade Army into such a powerful force.
00:39:03With you there, our borders will remain secure forever.
00:39:06I present the Star Crystal Steptor, the Deep Sea Pearl Crown, and the Holy Light Blessing Scroll.
00:39:13May your majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people,
00:39:19and secure your supreme royal authority forever.
00:39:22Long live King Moses.
00:39:25May Cade resign forever.
00:39:28Ever since Irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom, Cade has grown stronger every time.
00:39:34The people live peacefully, and the court stands united.
00:39:39This is true prosperity.
00:39:48The entire kingdom celebrates today, and every minister offers congratulations.
00:39:54Why are you sitting there in silence, without the slightest smile?
00:40:02Congratulations, your majesty.
00:40:04Are you still unwilling to accept it, thinking that without Hera, Cade could never maintain its essence glory?
00:40:11I didn't think so. Let's stop talking this.
00:40:14Even if Hera possessed some ability, how could she possibly compare to Irene's wisdom and strategy?
00:40:20Your majesty, enough!
00:40:22You still side with her in your heart!
00:40:25I would truly like to see Hera's expression when she realizes Cade remains prosperous even without her.
00:40:31Prosperous?
00:40:31The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe.
00:40:34Citizens are displaced, suffering miserably everywhere.
00:40:37And you call this prosperous?
00:40:46The taxes are due!
00:40:47How dare you delay payment?
00:40:49If you still refuse spare money to pay, I'll whip you to death!
00:40:52Sir, this year's harvest completely failed.
00:40:56The taxes are far too heavy, we truly can't afford to pay.
00:40:59You have no choice!
00:41:00This is the king's command!
00:41:02Anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot!
00:41:06How dare you speak such nonsense here!
00:41:10Cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of his majesty.
00:41:14Raising taxes slightly is what made this grand banquet and this stability possible.
00:41:19What is wrong with that?
00:41:20Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised.
00:41:25The people needed time to recover.
00:41:27You promised her that.
00:41:30Shut up!
00:41:31Hera has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:34If you refuse to listen to honest counsel and remain this stubborn, then I have nothing
00:41:39left to say.
00:41:40Insolence!
00:41:41Since you despise everything here so much, then get out!
00:41:44Go to the far north and never back again!
00:41:47Your majesty, please don't!
00:41:50The far north borders the orc territories.
00:41:53If Prince Cain goes there, he will certainly die.
00:41:56How is that possible?
00:41:57Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:01Those two cities have already...
00:42:04Already what?
00:42:06Speak!
00:42:07They have already been ceded by Lady Irene to the orc empire of the Gromish royal court.
00:42:12Your majesty, those two cities were nothing but barren wastelands.
00:42:15I made the decision to precede them in exchange for peace along the borders.
00:42:18They're only two worthless cities.
00:42:20Then that's it, not a great deal.
00:42:30This little beauty looks good!
00:42:33Take her with us!
00:42:34Look!
00:42:35Look!
00:42:36Let me go!
00:42:37Let me go!
00:42:41You beast!
00:42:42Let go of my daughter!
00:42:49With the king being this foolish, Cade will fall.
00:42:53Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the royal city.
00:42:57Spare you from suffering in the far north.
00:43:00There's no need.
00:43:01I'll leave at once.
00:43:02You would rather die than remain by my side?
00:43:05Yes.
00:43:06There is no hope left here.
00:43:08My heart has long since died.
00:43:10I'm leaving now.
00:43:14Report!
00:43:15A devastating locust playing has erupted in Gale Wind City.
00:43:18The crops have all been devoured, and countless civilians are starving to death.
00:43:36Your majesty, Silvermean City's been hit by the worst flood in a hundred years.
00:43:40The dam collapsed.
00:43:42The farmlands are gone.
00:43:57Colin!
00:43:58Didn't you swear the kingdom was thriving?
00:44:01With good harvests, peaceful people, no disasters?
00:44:04Now we've got locusts and floods, and you hid it from me?
00:44:08How dare you?
00:44:10Your majesty!
00:44:11I swear I'm innocent!
00:44:13I just got word myself there was no time to report it sooner.
00:44:17Lies!
00:44:18You still dare make excuses!
00:44:20Guards, execute him now!
00:44:26This could be rumours spread by rebels.
00:44:28I'll send people to verify it immediately and get you the truth.
00:44:32Your majesty, the reports are true.
00:44:35My spies across the kingdom just confirmed everything.
00:44:37Fine.
00:44:38If the disasters are real, then it's simple.
00:44:40Open the treasury.
00:44:40Send food and gold.
00:44:41The people will settle down soon enough.
00:44:46Your majesty!
00:44:48The treasury!
00:44:49It's empty!
00:44:50We plan to raise taxes again after the birthday, Fankway, just to keep the palace running.
00:44:54But now?
00:44:55No!
00:44:56That's impossible!
00:44:57We just collected taxes not long ago!
00:45:00How could the treasury be empty?
00:45:01The money's already gone, your majesty.
00:45:03The ceremonies, the banquets, palace renovations, rewards for your favourites.
00:45:08Nothing left.
00:45:09First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:45:13The people are exhausted.
00:45:14Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:45:18I already know that.
00:45:20Was I really wrong?
00:45:22No.
00:45:23I'm the king.
00:45:24Kings don't make mistakes.
00:45:27Irene!
00:45:28Think of something.
00:45:29We have to keep this under control no matter what.
00:45:33There's only one way left.
00:45:35Raise taxes again.
00:45:36Let the people suffer a little longer.
00:45:39And we survive this crisis.
00:45:56Hera.
00:45:57If Hera were here,
00:45:59none of this would have happened.
00:46:03It's been six months.
00:46:05Why won't you come back?
00:46:06Why can't you forgive me?
00:46:11You need to learn this properly.
00:46:13This is what keeps a kingdom standing.
00:46:15But you're already amazing at running the kingdom.
00:46:17We promised we'd be together forever.
00:46:20And I listen to everything you say anyway.
00:46:23Isn't that enough?
00:46:27It's all my fault.
00:46:28I should have listened to you.
00:46:30Didn't we promise we'd never leave each other?
00:46:32Then why aren't you here?
00:46:33Why?
00:46:34Cade's falling apart now.
00:46:36Disasters everywhere.
00:46:37People are suffering.
00:46:39Hera, are you really going to stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:42Hera.
00:46:42Hera, I miss you.
00:46:45Please come back.
00:46:47Please save Cade.
00:46:49Save me.
00:46:56The king keeps squeezing the people dry.
00:46:59Now we've got locusts and floods back to back.
00:47:02The people can't survive like this.
00:47:04The king doubted you, humiliated you, and tried to kill you back then.
00:47:08You can't seriously go back and save him.
00:47:11Exactly.
00:47:12That royal family destroyed you.
00:47:14Why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you?
00:47:17But the people are suffering.
00:47:24Hera!
00:47:26Why?
00:47:28Why are you here?
00:47:33Your hands.
00:47:34What happened to them?
00:47:37It's usual to have these calluses, but you're a prince.
00:47:41Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:44My brother banished me.
00:47:50So even the last person willing to tell him the truth got driven away too?
00:47:55I'm so happy to see you here again.
00:47:57I'm also the late king's son, and I've admired you for long.
00:48:00Can I?
00:48:03The northern beast threat still isn't over.
00:48:05The kingdom's in chaos.
00:48:07I'm not thinking about love right now.
00:48:09I see.
00:48:11But I'd ask you a very great favor.
00:48:13Right now, Irene controls everything.
00:48:15Taxes are crushing the people.
00:48:16And she already handed over two northern fortresses to the Gromish crown.
00:48:19The kingdom's falling apart.
00:48:21Hera, please.
00:48:22Come back and save Cade's people.
00:48:24If that's the case,
00:48:26then for the sake of the people,
00:48:28I'll go back one more time.
00:48:30That's great.
00:48:31Things are already at the breaking point.
00:48:33We need a plan immediately.
00:48:35The situation isn't hopeless yet.
00:48:38If we can provide food and money to calm the people,
00:48:41the crisis can still be contained.
00:48:43The only thing I'm worried about is...
00:48:45What's that?
00:48:46Morluck of the North.
00:48:47He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:48:49He can't be threatened,
00:48:50or if he's pushed too far,
00:48:51he'll rebel for sure.
00:48:52And once that happens,
00:48:54Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom.
00:48:56There will be no saving it then.
00:48:58Moses can't be that foolish.
00:48:59He already made one mistake raising taxes.
00:49:02Surely he won't make another.
00:49:03I hope not.
00:49:05Your Majesty!
00:49:07General Morlock of the North is outside requesting an immediate audience!
00:49:10Morlock?
00:49:11Before Hera left,
00:49:12she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:14He's fierce and hot-tempered.
00:49:15If pushed him too hard,
00:49:16he'll rebel.
00:49:18Pass down my order.
00:49:20Prepare the best wine and food.
00:49:22Welcome, General Morlock,
00:49:23with the highest honors.
00:49:26Your Majesty, please don't!
00:49:28The treasury's already empty.
00:49:30Every coin matters right now!
00:49:32Morlock's nothing more than a surrendered general.
00:49:35He doesn't deserve the honors.
00:49:37Some ordinary food is more than enough.
00:49:39And he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people.
00:49:43But we can't lower taxes anymore.
00:49:46Leave this to me, Your Majesty.
00:49:48I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:51But Hera warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:54What you do could cause real trouble.
00:49:57You worry too much, Your Majesty.
00:49:59Men like him only understand strength.
00:50:03Leave everything to me.
00:50:05Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:11Your Majesty.
00:50:13I'm Morak.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty?
00:50:16Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were.
00:50:19However, this Morlock may look intimidating,
00:50:21but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere else to go.
00:50:24Fine.
00:50:25Get up and speak.
00:50:28Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:30You've traveled a long way here.
00:50:31Must be exhausted.
00:50:33The journey means nothing.
00:50:34But today, in front of both you and the Grand Marshal,
00:50:37I need an answer.
00:50:39Huh?
00:50:40Go on.
00:50:40When Grand Marshal Hera united the Northern Tribes,
00:50:44she made a promise before every soldier and citizen
00:50:46that the North would be exempt from taxes for five years.
00:50:49And if disaster or war ever struck,
00:50:52the Royal Treasury would provide relief for the people immediately.
00:50:56But what happened?
00:50:59Not only have you sent us nothing,
00:51:01you broke the agreement yourselves.
00:51:03You buried the people under Endless
00:51:06and drove them straight into hell!
00:51:08Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:10We swore loyalty to Cade
00:51:12because we believed in Hera's honor.
00:51:14But you've broken every promise she made.
00:51:17What explanation do you have
00:51:19for the Northern soldiers and citizens?
00:51:22How dare you?
00:51:24Are you openly questioning the Royal Court now?
00:51:26Or are you trying to challenge the King's authority?
00:51:30I've never questioned the Royal.
00:51:31I only ask for justice for my people.
00:51:36Royal policy is decided by the Court,
00:51:38not by border warriors like you.
00:51:40Your only job is to control your territory,
00:51:43keep the border stable,
00:51:45and obey orders.
00:51:46And you can't even manage that.
00:51:48Yet you still dare bark at the King?
00:51:51A surrendered brute like you
00:51:53dares act arrogant in the Royal Hall?
00:51:55Who the hell do you think you are?
00:51:58Know your place, loser.
00:51:59The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate,
00:52:02so stay there and wag your tail.
00:52:04Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:06You're nothing but a poor thing
00:52:08the Royal took in out of pity.
00:52:10We fed you,
00:52:11and you should have stayed grateful and obedient.
00:52:14Dare you disrespect your Majesty and me?
00:52:17You deserve nothing!
00:52:19And that precious Hera you worship so much?
00:52:22She's nothing but a discarded failure
00:52:24the King threw away,
00:52:25a stray dog driven out of the palace.
00:52:27And my defeated loser.
00:52:30And my defeated loser.
00:52:33You bitch!
00:52:34How dare you insult Hera,
00:52:36you filthy little snake!
00:52:38For saying that alone,
00:52:40you deserve to die!
00:52:47Morlach!
00:52:48Are you insane?
00:52:49What the hell are you doing?
00:52:51I...
00:52:52I'm the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom!
00:52:55You're the Grand Marshal?
00:52:57That's right.
00:52:58Lay one finger on me
00:52:59and you'll be guilty of treason!
00:53:01The Grand Marshal is a useless,
00:53:03poisonous rat like you.
00:53:04Then Cade truly is finished.
00:53:05Morlach!
00:53:06How dare you?
00:53:07Let Eren go right now!
00:53:08Now!
00:53:09Hera once praised you,
00:53:10a wise king carrying the people.
00:53:11But now that I've seen you with my own eyes,
00:53:13you're nothing but a blind fool
00:53:14surrounded by corrupt snakes.
00:53:16You insolent bastard!
00:53:17How dare you insult the King?
00:53:19Go to hell!
00:53:25Nobody move!
00:53:26Whoever takes one more step,
00:53:28I slip her throat right here!
00:53:30No mercy!
00:53:30Back off!
00:53:31All of you, back off!
00:53:33Don't come near me, please!
00:53:34Why things become this bad?
00:53:36When Hera was here,
00:53:38everything's going well.
00:53:39Everyone!
00:53:40Move back immediately!
00:53:41Get to the sides!
00:53:43Your Majesty,
00:53:44you cannot let him leave alive.
00:53:46Morlach is too dangerous.
00:53:48If he escapes the palace today,
00:53:50he must raise an army and rebel.
00:53:52I beg you to execute him now
00:53:54and end this threat once and for all.
00:53:57Listen carefully.
00:53:58If anyone attacks me now,
00:53:59I'll drag Eren straight to hell with me.
00:54:01Your Majesty, save me!
00:54:03Don't listen to him!
00:54:04Lord Morlach, I'll give you money,
00:54:05land, power, anything you want.
00:54:07Just don't kill me!
00:54:08A coward like you actually sits in power?
00:54:11You're rotten to the bone!
00:54:12Your Majesty!
00:54:14Sacrificing Irene in exchange for killing Morlach
00:54:16would secure the kingdom for generations!
00:54:18For the sake of all Cade's people,
00:54:20you must not let him go!
00:54:22We beg your Majesty to abandon Irene!
00:54:25Kill the traitor Morlach
00:54:26and protect the kingdom!
00:54:34My Hera,
00:54:35you've been working on military matters all morning,
00:54:37must be starving by now.
00:54:38Come on, try the food I made for you.
00:54:41You made all this yourself?
00:54:43Sure.
00:54:43This camp barely has supplies.
00:54:45If I had proper ingredients,
00:54:47I could make you a real feast.
00:54:48This is already more than enough.
00:54:50Thank you, my dear Cain.
00:54:53My lady!
00:54:54Urgent military report!
00:54:55Urgent situation!
00:55:00What happened?
00:55:02Our scouts confirmed
00:55:04that Moravac openly
00:55:05turned against King Moses and Irene
00:55:07in the Royal Council Hall.
00:55:08The confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred.
00:55:11God!
00:55:11Morlach's temper is terrifying.
00:55:13The openly challenging the royal family
00:55:15could have completely caused a chaos.
00:55:17Morlach entered the capital
00:55:18with a handful of trusted men.
00:55:20If Moses had executed him on the spot
00:55:22to stop him returning north,
00:55:23this rebellion could still have been
00:55:25prevented.
00:55:25But the king chose to save Irene instead.
00:55:27He ordered the guards to stand down
00:55:29and allowed Morak to leave
00:55:30for the north safely.
00:55:34No, that's bad.
00:55:35A lot of innocent people
00:55:36are going to die now.
00:55:41You ungrateful traitor!
00:55:43The king spared your life out of mercy
00:55:45because of your past service.
00:55:46And this is how you repay him.
00:55:48The second you return north,
00:55:49you gather an army
00:55:50and openly rebel against the crown.
00:55:52That's treason!
00:55:53So you're Irene's loser brother.
00:55:55Makes sense.
00:55:56As arrogant and useless as she is.
00:55:58Believe me,
00:55:58I could flatten this city in a second
00:56:00and cut off your head as my wine cup.
00:56:02Then open your damn eyes
00:56:03and look around.
00:56:04Our walls are unbreakable.
00:56:05Our food supplies are full
00:56:07and our soldiers are elite fighters.
00:56:08Even if all a hundred thousand
00:56:10of your men are here,
00:56:10you still won't touch these walls.
00:56:12Back when Hera guarded this kingdom,
00:56:14I might honor the court
00:56:15without crossing the line.
00:56:20Grand Marshal Hera!
00:56:21No need for formalities.
00:56:23I know you're loyal and honorable.
00:56:25Everything that happened before
00:56:26wasn't truly your choice.
00:56:28I will honor every single promise I made.
00:56:31To lower taxes,
00:56:32care for the soldiers,
00:56:33and bring peace to the north.
00:56:35I swear it.
00:56:36But look at the kingdom now.
00:56:37A righteous leader like Hera
00:56:39was framed,
00:56:40humiliated,
00:56:41and driven out
00:56:41by corrupt cowards like you.
00:56:43I didn't raise this army for power.
00:56:45I'm fighting for Hera's honor.
00:56:47For justice for the suffering people
00:56:49of the north.
00:56:50North soldiers!
00:56:52Charge!
00:56:53Break Stonehold City!
00:56:55Fight for Hera's name!
00:56:56For peace of north!
00:57:00All soldiers!
00:57:01Rain arrows!
00:57:03Drop the boulders!
00:57:04Crush these traitors into pieces!
00:57:21Karen!
00:57:22Get the catapult ready!
00:57:24Launch me onto the wall!
00:57:26Release it!
00:57:27Full power!
00:57:37Stop him!
00:57:38Stop the monster!
00:57:39Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:42Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:53Look carefully!
00:57:54Your commander Fulton
00:57:56is now my prisoner!
00:57:59Nobody here can save him!
00:58:01I know exactly who most of you are.
00:58:04You once fought beside Hera
00:58:05on the battlefield.
00:58:07Now she's been framed
00:58:09and driven out
00:58:09by corrupt cowards.
00:58:11You feel nothing?
00:58:13No anger?
00:58:14No shame?
00:58:16I did not raise this army
00:58:17to betray the kingdom,
00:58:18but to restore Hera's honor!
00:58:20To make people of the north
00:58:22live in peace again!
00:58:24Throw down your weapons
00:58:26and surrender!
00:58:27I swear on my life
00:58:28as a warrior,
00:58:29no harm will come to you!
00:58:31You tell the truth!
00:58:32You fight with honor
00:58:33and righteousness!
00:58:34We're born to protect
00:58:35our homeland,
00:58:36not to die for Irene!
00:58:37I surrender willingly!
00:58:39We surrender!
00:58:40From now on,
00:58:41we're willing to follow you
00:58:42and restore justice for Hera!
00:58:45Your Majesty,
00:58:46thank you for giving me
00:58:47a second chance!
00:58:49I swear on my life,
00:58:50I'll devote everything
00:58:52to you forever!
00:58:53Never betray you!
00:58:57You swore to me
00:58:58that Morak
00:58:59was nothing more
00:59:00than a broken,
00:59:01defeated general!
00:59:02You said he had
00:59:03no courage left!
00:59:04Your Majesty,
00:59:06please calm down
00:59:07and think carefully
00:59:08about this!
00:59:09It's weird!
00:59:10Morlock kept mentioning
00:59:11Hera over and over again!
00:59:12If you ask me,
00:59:13Hera must be the real
00:59:14mastermind behind all of this!
00:59:15No.
00:59:17Is it truly Hera's
00:59:18secretly plotting against me?
00:59:20Think about it,
00:59:20Your Majesty!
00:59:21She once controlled
00:59:22the entire kingdom's
00:59:23military power,
00:59:24stood above everyone!
00:59:25After being stripped
00:59:26of everything and exiled,
00:59:27how could she possibly
00:59:28accept that?
00:59:29That's why she manipulated
00:59:30Morlock into storming
00:59:31the palace!
00:59:32It seems like I was
00:59:33the target,
00:59:34but in reality,
00:59:35she's humiliating the royal
00:59:36and attacking your authority
00:59:37and shaking your throne
00:59:39step by step!
00:59:40Damn her!
00:59:42She can't defeat me openly
00:59:43so now she hides
00:59:44and plays dirty,
00:59:45letting her followers
00:59:46create chaos,
00:59:48humiliating me,
00:59:49provoking the entire
00:59:50kingdom of Kaeda!
00:59:51Everyone knows
00:59:52Hera's good at winning
00:59:52people over.
00:59:53She tricks soldiers
00:59:54and silizans with fake
00:59:55kindness and pretty words.
00:59:57We absolutely cannot
00:59:58fall for her lies,
00:59:59must crush her scheme
01:00:00before it's too late.
01:00:01But it's already too late!
01:00:02I let Morlock go
01:00:04to save you,
01:00:04giving him chance
01:00:05to rally all his forces
01:00:06and march south!
01:00:07How are we supposed
01:00:08to stop this war?
01:00:09Don't panic,
01:00:10your majesty.
01:00:10I've already prepared
01:00:11for this.
01:00:12My brother Fulton
01:00:13is guarding Stonehold City,
01:00:15the only path
01:00:15from the north
01:00:16to the capital.
01:00:17Its defenses are impenetrable
01:00:18and the supplies
01:00:19are abundant.
01:00:20As long as Stonehold stands,
01:00:21Morrick will never
01:00:22reach the capital city.
01:00:23And my brother's
01:00:24a battle heart in general.
01:00:26Morlock may be strong,
01:00:28but he's just a brute.
01:00:30There's no way
01:00:30he can break through
01:00:31the defenses.
01:00:32You can rest easy,
01:00:33your majesty.
01:00:36Your majesty!
01:00:38Terrible news
01:00:39from the front lines!
01:00:40Morlock's army
01:00:41has completely
01:00:41captured Stonehold City.
01:00:43General Fulton
01:00:44had his neck
01:00:45crushed by Morack.
01:00:51No!
01:00:53That's impossible!
01:00:54My brothers fought
01:00:55in countless battles.
01:00:56Stonehold City
01:00:57was supposed
01:00:58to be impressible.
01:00:59How could it fall
01:01:00so fast?
01:01:00How could he die?
01:01:02Enough, Irene.
01:01:03All your grand lies
01:01:04have mislaid the court
01:01:05and ruined the kingdom's plans.
01:01:07Now Morlock's army
01:01:08has broken through the north
01:01:09and is marching
01:01:10straight for the capital.
01:01:12Tell me,
01:01:13at this point,
01:01:13is there even a way
01:01:14to turn this around?
01:01:18You, your majesty,
01:01:20please calm your anger.
01:01:22I, I have one final plan
01:01:25that can save the kingdom
01:01:26from destruction.
01:01:27Then spit it out.
01:01:28Now.
01:01:29The soldiers in capital
01:01:30are too weak
01:01:31to stop Morlock's
01:01:32hundred thousand
01:01:33elite riders.
01:01:34The only option
01:01:35is to send envoys
01:01:37to the Orkin Empire.
01:01:38Offer them whatever they want
01:01:40in exchange
01:01:40for their forces
01:01:41to crush this rebellion.
01:01:44Absolutely not.
01:01:45I will never agree
01:01:46to something this insane.
01:01:47Your majesty,
01:01:49remember my final warning.
01:01:51Never forget it.
01:01:53The Orcs are savage
01:01:55by nature,
01:01:56bloodthirsty
01:01:56and ambitious.
01:01:58They've always coveted
01:01:59the rich lands of Cade.
01:02:00They can never be trusted.
01:02:02I have never forgotten
01:02:03Hera's warning.
01:02:04The Orcs are greedy wolves.
01:02:07Allying with them
01:02:07would be suicidal.
01:02:08It could destroy Cade.
01:02:12Your majesty,
01:02:13this is no time
01:02:13to hesitate.
01:02:15Mordek's army
01:02:15is launching straight for us.
01:02:16He wants your throne.
01:02:18The Orcs only want gold,
01:02:19food,
01:02:20and a small piece
01:02:20of border territory.
01:02:21If paying that price
01:02:22protects your crown
01:02:23and saves all our lives,
01:02:24it's more than worth it.
01:02:27Fine.
01:02:28We've almost reached
01:02:29the dead end.
01:02:29There's no other choice now.
01:02:30I'll take the risk.
01:02:32Rest easy,
01:02:32your majesty.
01:02:33I'll send trusted envoys
01:02:34to the Orc Empire tonight
01:02:35to secure the alliance
01:02:36and get their army
01:02:37as fast as possible.
01:02:54Marshal Hera,
01:02:55the undefeated goddess of war.
01:02:56you're finally here.
01:02:58I've waited day and night
01:02:59for this moment.
01:03:00You have no idea
01:03:01how those snakes
01:03:01in the royal court
01:03:02slandered you,
01:03:03humiliated you,
01:03:04and trampled all over
01:03:05your loyalty
01:03:05in front of the entire palace.
01:03:06I'm clear with everything.
01:03:08You've carried too much anger
01:03:09and injustice
01:03:10these past months.
01:03:11King's blind
01:03:12and Irene controls the court.
01:03:13I understand exactly
01:03:14what's going on.
01:03:15But we're warriors
01:03:16to protect the people.
01:03:18No matter what happens,
01:03:19we cannot start a war lightly.
01:03:21Now I need you
01:03:22to order the army
01:03:22to withdraw north.
01:03:24Show the kingdom
01:03:25our sincerity.
01:03:26I'll personally return
01:03:27to the capital
01:03:27and negotiate with the king
01:03:28one last time.
01:03:29If he still insists
01:03:30on dragging the kingdom
01:03:31deeper into ruin,
01:03:32we'll march
01:03:33and take back justice
01:03:34for everyone.
01:03:36Marshal Hera,
01:03:38I don't want my soldiers
01:03:39dying meaninglessly either.
01:03:41I'll follow every order
01:03:42you give
01:03:42without question.
01:03:45My ministers!
01:03:47Morlach has completely
01:03:48taken Stonehold City.
01:03:50His rebel army
01:03:51could arrive at the capital
01:03:52any moment now.
01:03:53So does anyone here
01:03:54have a plan
01:03:55to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing!
01:03:57You talk endlessly
01:03:59like genius every day.
01:04:00But now that the kingdom's
01:04:02collapsing,
01:04:02suddenly everyone's silent?
01:04:04Where is my royal guard?
01:04:06Why is there not
01:04:07been one soldier here
01:04:07to protect me?
01:04:09Your majesty,
01:04:10the royal family
01:04:11has already lost
01:04:12the people's support
01:04:12completely.
01:04:13Disasters spread
01:04:14across the kingdom,
01:04:15but the court failed
01:04:16to help the citizens.
01:04:17Then taxes kept rising
01:04:18again and again.
01:04:19The people's anger
01:04:20has reached its limit.
01:04:21At this point,
01:04:22the royal guard
01:04:22exists in name alone.
01:04:26The orcs are probably
01:04:27still days away.
01:04:29There's no army
01:04:29and no general
01:04:30left in the capital.
01:04:31If Morlach attacks now,
01:04:33my throne,
01:04:33my life,
01:04:34my everything
01:04:35are gone.
01:04:37Urgent military report,
01:04:39your majesty!
01:04:39Speak!
01:04:40What happened?
01:04:42Morlach's
01:04:42hundred thousand man army
01:04:44has completely
01:04:45withdrawn.
01:04:46What?
01:04:46They retreated.
01:04:48Why would they
01:04:49suddenly pull back
01:04:49without reasons?
01:04:50I couldn't uncover
01:04:51the reason,
01:04:52your majesty,
01:04:52but I personally
01:04:53saw the entire army
01:04:55break camp
01:04:55and retreat
01:04:56over a hundred
01:04:57miles north.
01:05:01Your majesty!
01:05:03Isn't the answer
01:05:04obvious?
01:05:05My strategy
01:05:07worked perfectly.
01:05:08Just the threat
01:05:09of my preparations
01:05:10alone terrified
01:05:11Morlach so badly
01:05:12that he fled
01:05:13without even fighting.
01:05:18Then would you
01:05:19explain what
01:05:20strategy scared
01:05:20away a hundred
01:05:21thousand elite
01:05:22soldiers overnight?
01:05:24I secretly sent
01:05:25trusted envoys
01:05:26to the Orc Emperor
01:05:27long ago.
01:05:28The alliance
01:05:29has already
01:05:29been secured.
01:05:31Their elite
01:05:32reinforcements
01:05:32are on the way
01:05:33to the capital
01:05:33as we speak.
01:05:35Morlach must have
01:05:35learned about it
01:05:36and realizes he
01:05:37could never defeat
01:05:37our combined forces.
01:05:39So that's why
01:05:40Irene's brilliant
01:05:41strategy
01:05:42intimidated the
01:05:43rebels
01:05:43and forced back
01:05:44a hundred thousand
01:05:45enemy troops
01:05:46without sacrificing
01:05:47a single soldier
01:05:48from the capital.
01:05:49Irene,
01:05:50you are the
01:05:51kingdom's
01:05:51greatest killer,
01:05:52my most trusted
01:05:53minister.
01:05:54Your majesty,
01:05:55please reconsider.
01:05:56You cannot make
01:05:56this mistake.
01:05:57It's killing
01:05:58ourselves.
01:05:59They are long
01:05:59coveting our lands.
01:06:00Even the late
01:06:01king personally
01:06:01led the campaign
01:06:02against them
01:06:03and died on the
01:06:03battlefield.
01:06:04That blood feed
01:06:04hasn't been settled.
01:06:05How can you
01:06:06bow your head
01:06:06to our greatest
01:06:07enemy and invite
01:06:08them into our
01:06:09kingdom?
01:06:09You're condemning
01:06:10Kay to destruction
01:06:11with your own
01:06:11hands.
01:06:12Your majesty,
01:06:13think carefully.
01:06:14The orcs are cruel
01:06:15by nature.
01:06:16Once they cross
01:06:17our borders,
01:06:18every town in their
01:06:19path will be burnt
01:06:20and looted.
01:06:21Countless innocent
01:06:21civilians will be
01:06:22slaughtered.
01:06:23The people of Cade
01:06:24will be dragged
01:06:24straight into hell.
01:06:27Is the man on the wall,
01:06:29General Garrick?
01:06:30Open the gate
01:06:31immediately.
01:06:32Your king Moses
01:06:33ordered my army
01:06:34to enter the city,
01:06:35crush the rebels,
01:06:36and capture Morlock.
01:06:40This concerns the
01:06:42safety of the capital
01:06:43and the lives of
01:06:44every citizen inside.
01:06:47I need to verify
01:06:48the royal decree
01:06:49myself before opening
01:06:50the gates.
01:06:51How dare you?
01:06:53You're just
01:06:54the gate commander
01:06:55and you dare
01:06:56disobey your
01:06:57king's orders?
01:06:59Delaying military
01:07:00business alone
01:07:01is enough reason
01:07:01for me to cut
01:07:02your head off
01:07:03right now.
01:07:06General!
01:07:07General!
01:07:08Urgent news
01:07:09from the front lines.
01:07:10Morlock's entire
01:07:11army has already
01:07:12withdrawn.
01:07:13The capital's
01:07:13no longer under threat.
01:07:15Commander Gromj,
01:07:16I've received
01:07:17confirmed military
01:07:18reports.
01:07:20The rebels already
01:07:21retreated north.
01:07:22Your mission here
01:07:23is over.
01:07:24Take your army
01:07:25and return to the
01:07:26old empire immediately.
01:07:28No remain near
01:07:29the capital.
01:07:31You think I marched
01:07:33all this way for
01:07:33nothing?
01:07:35Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:37Warriors attack
01:07:38the city!
01:07:39Burn this capital
01:07:40to the ground!
01:07:41Take whatever you
01:07:42want!
01:07:42Gold, food,
01:07:43treasures, women!
01:07:45Everything inside
01:07:45belongs to you!
01:07:46Show no mercy!
01:07:47All troops,
01:07:48prepare for battle!
01:07:50Archers, fire!
01:07:52Drop the stones!
01:07:53Pour the oil!
01:07:55Hold the gates!
01:07:59Gromj!
01:08:00You savage beast!
01:08:03Never trample
01:08:04the capital of K'day!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want!
01:08:24Take, enter the city!
01:08:26Loot everything!
01:08:27Burn everything!
01:08:28Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want!
01:08:31Tonight,
01:08:32we feast!
01:08:40Urgent!
01:08:41Your majesty,
01:08:42Gromj has forcibly
01:08:42breached the main gate.
01:08:43General Garrick,
01:08:44who was defending the
01:08:45capital,
01:08:45has fallen in battle.
01:08:46He died fighting
01:08:47to the end.
01:08:50No, no!
01:08:51That's impossible!
01:08:53Garick was personally
01:08:55appointed by the late king.
01:08:58He fought through
01:08:59his entire life
01:09:00on the battlefield
01:09:01and defended this
01:09:02kingdom for decades!
01:09:05How could he just
01:09:06die like that?
01:09:08It's true,
01:09:09your majesty.
01:09:09I saw it with my own eyes.
01:09:12General Garrick
01:09:12fought Gromj alone
01:09:13and never backed down
01:09:14until the final blow
01:09:15from the axe
01:09:16struck him down
01:09:16on the city wall.
01:09:17The orc army
01:09:18is advancing
01:09:19at full speed.
01:09:20Within half a day,
01:09:21they will reach
01:09:21the palace gates.
01:09:26It's the end.
01:09:27The capital is gone.
01:09:29Who can protect me?
01:09:30Who can save Cade?
01:09:32I don't want to die
01:09:33by those monsters.
01:09:35Your majesty,
01:09:35the capital's fallen
01:09:36into chaos.
01:09:37Our defenses are collapsing.
01:09:38Our soldiers are dead
01:09:39on the battlefield.
01:09:40And innocent pavilions
01:09:41are being slaughtered.
01:09:42We're caused by Irene.
01:09:43She invited orc forces
01:09:44into our land.
01:09:45She dragged the entire
01:09:46kingdom into hell.
01:09:46She must be executed
01:09:47immediately.
01:09:48Only her death
01:09:49can climb the people's range.
01:09:50Execute, Irene.
01:09:51Pay for the capital
01:09:53with her life.
01:09:58Your majesty,
01:09:59please believe me.
01:10:00I never betrayed the kingdom.
01:10:01I only wanted to use
01:10:02the foreign
01:10:03to stabilize the situation
01:10:04and protect you.
01:10:05I am loyal to you.
01:10:07I was misled.
01:10:08I never intended
01:10:09this outcome.
01:10:10Irene,
01:10:11you're nothing
01:10:12but a dirty liar.
01:10:13You deceived the king.
01:10:14You pushed out
01:10:15loyal medicines.
01:10:16You brought foreign beasts
01:10:17into our homeland
01:10:18to slaughter our people.
01:10:20Your crimes are unforgivable.
01:10:22I will end you myself.
01:10:25Your majesty,
01:10:26save me.
01:10:27Stop him.
01:10:27Don't kill me.
01:10:28I'm still useful.
01:10:33Please.
01:10:35Your majesty,
01:10:36spare me.
01:10:38I can still help you.
01:10:40I can serve you
01:10:41with my own...
01:10:41Irene,
01:10:42there's no way out anymore.
01:10:44The kingdom
01:10:45has reached its end.
01:10:47Only your death
01:10:48can calm everyone's rage.
01:10:50Only then
01:10:50will I have the face
01:10:51to beg Hera
01:10:52to return.
01:10:53Right now,
01:10:53she is the only one
01:10:54who can save Cade.
01:10:56Byron,
01:10:57give me the sword.
01:11:00Your majesty,
01:11:01what are you doing?
01:11:02No, please.
01:11:03Spare me.
01:11:04I'm loyal to you.
01:11:05I will personally
01:11:05execute you
01:11:06who destroyed my kingdom.
01:11:07I regret it.
01:11:08I regret ever
01:11:09listening to you.
01:11:11No!
01:11:11Please!
01:11:13I was wrong!
01:11:15I beg you!
01:11:16I beg you!
01:11:26I beg you!

01:11:59When you do, I'll give you a big wedding.
01:12:03The orcs? No way. The palace is impenetrable. How could they reach us this fast?
01:12:08Of course I arranged everything. Sir, it's me who opened the hidden gate so that you could break in. You
01:12:14must protect me.
01:12:15You're right. Thanks to you, we could break into the palace this easily.
01:12:18You witch! You betrayed me and the kingdom for glory, colluded with our enemies and stained your hands with countless
01:12:24lives.
01:12:24You are the true traitor of Picade. Unforgivable for all eternity. I regret it.
01:12:29I truly regret it. I was blinded by your evil lies and exiled Hera on my own.
01:12:34You regret it? Too late. You were the one who killed the loyal and forced Hera out.
01:12:39Everything happening now is your own doing. You never deserve the throne. You are nothing but a weak and incompetent
01:12:45king.
01:12:47Hera, I was wrong. I was truly wrong.
01:12:51Your majesty, the situation is hopeless. I'll hold them off while you flee at once.
01:12:57I am the king of Cade. How can a king run away? I won't leave.
01:13:04Your majesty, please. Leave now or it's too late.
01:13:12There's nowhere left to run. Cade's over today.
01:13:18I will protect the king to my last blith.
01:13:20I will protect the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king

01:13:50Thorn, I'm sorry! I should have listened to you!
01:13:53Your majesty, don't say that. Run. Only you can save Cade.
01:14:04In our old empire, we have a punishment for fallen kings.
01:14:10It's called Forsaken Prisoner.
01:14:14Bring the chains and the collar! Let him be humiliated!
01:14:18By a slave!
01:14:23Kill me! Just kill me! I'd rather die than be humiliated like this! Please!
01:14:29Death? Not yet. Crawl. Show everyone what the king has become.
01:14:48My name is your father!
01:14:49See you later.
