00:00:03Oh no! They're on us! Warriors! Do not let the Orcs cross our borders! Turn back and fight!
00:00:19Gods help me! I was a fool! I should have listened to Hera! I should never have led the campaign!
00:00:25Never set foot in the Orc Empire!
00:00:35Poor bugs!
00:00:51Hera...
00:00:52Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:11The gods are punishing me. Hera, I'm sorry. I didn't heed your warning. Blinded by pride, I sought a name
00:01:19that would outlive me and nearly cast the kingdom's border into ruin.
00:01:22Your Majesty, just save your strength. You need to stay alive.
00:01:28My time's over. Moses is too young, too reckless. He can't carry this kingdom alone.
00:01:34Your Majesty...
00:01:35Then hear my final command. Guide him. Protect him. Don't let Cade fall.
00:01:40Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman. The gods chose her. As long as she stands with Cade, this kingdom will
00:01:46never fall. Listen to her. You're bound together by your engagement. Rule this land side by side.
00:01:53Father, I swear it. I swear on all the gods. I'll trust her and listen to her. I'll become the
00:02:00king this kingdom needs.
00:02:02The gods' power isn't endless. But for Moses, for Cade, I'll give everything I have.
00:02:09Good. Good.
00:02:14Father! Father!
00:02:17Long live the king!
00:02:23Rise.
00:02:24Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:30of Cade grew stronger with each passing day.
00:02:32But endless days and sleepless nights reopened Hera's old wounds, and slowly drained the gods' power within her.
00:02:40Your Majesty! Urgent news from the border! The Orc Empire has invaded! We're under attack!
00:02:47Those beasts dare invade Cade? Who will drive them back for me?
00:02:52I'll lead the army, drown the border in their blood, and bring peace back to Cade.
00:03:01Hera, I've seen everything you've done this past year. The people worship you. When you return victorious, I'll honor our
00:03:08engagement. I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony this kingdom has ever seen.
00:03:13My king, I won't fail you.
00:03:19Poor humans! You dare stand in the way of the Orc Empire? Today, every last one of you die!
00:03:27Roar!
00:03:33The 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!
00:03:55The
00:03:57measurement
00:04:032
00:04:06In the gods' name! God fall Ash-grave!
00:04:10O out of the wallrace!
00:04:12Ooh!
00:04:13You witch rust woman, Will return! And when we do... How will you alone... Stand against my million's Trong tide
00:04:21of beasts?!
00:04:24If you wish past the spirits?
00:04:25article
00:04:33Commander! Dear God! You're gravely wounded! I'll get a healer right now! Just hang on!
00:04:41I'm fine. At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:48Hera's a monster. She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course! Now the King must fulfill his promise and marry her.
00:04:54This wedding will go down in Cady's history.
00:05:06Your Majesty.
00:05:09Hera.
00:05:15Hera! Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty.
00:05:24What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war. And 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 Cade-Aid soldiers still died.
00:05:39Our people worked themselves to the bones supplying your war, food and weapons.
00:05:42You nearly bled this kingdom dry and you still claim you're innocent?
00:05:46Your Majesty. That was a million beast horde. Even a god's one has limits.
00:05:50He's right. Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already.
00:05:54Nonsense. She's the god sworn. 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. She used the enemy to weaken the kingdom
00:06:04and weaken the king's authority.
00:06:06What exactly were you plotting? Everything I did was for Cade. For the soldiers. For the people. I nearly gave
00:06:13my life for this victory.
00:06:14Enough! Shut your mouth!
00:06:15As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent. Irene will take your place. She understands strategy and
00:06:21politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:23Irene has never led an army. She knows nothing about war or governance. Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's
00:06:29grain with your own hands.
00:06:30How dare you? You dare defy the king? Kneel!
00:06:38Your Majesty, please reconsider her. Hera slid blood for this kingdom. You can't treat her like this.
00:06:44Treasonous fool. You dare oppose the king's command? Guards, drag him out and execute him immediately.
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses 100 chances. Now there are only two left. When they're gone, so
00:06:59am I.
00:07:02As you command. Hera, I made this for you myself. It carries my heart with it. In this life, I'll
00:07:11only ever love you. As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:16I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever. Without you, this crown means nothing to me. You're my only light,
00:07:23my only love. Let me place this on you.
00:07:27Yes, my king. I'd give everything for you, too.
00:07:33This world only worships winners. Nobody 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. And you already lost.
00:07:46I burned through my divine power to protect this kingdom. My wounds reopen every night. I cough blood in silence.
00:07:55Yet he never noticed. Never cared. That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:08Commander. We fought through hell to save this kingdom. And this is how they repay you.
00:08:13Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:19Power is just dust. It never mattered to me.
00:08:23Commander. The kings betrayed everyone. You gave everything to Cade. And this is what you got in return?
00:08:28To hell with that king. Commander. Let's rebel. Lead us back into the palace and take back what's yours.
00:08:36Enough.
00:08:39Commander. We don't care about power or glory. We just want to protect Cade. To protect the people under under
00:08:45god's blessing.
00:08:47Commander. The king's blind. And the court's full of vipers. A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the
00:08:53gods.
00:08:53Gods. That's enough. Get up. The 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. Never rebel.
00:09:09Commander. But the king...
00:09:10Enough. Never speak of this again.
00:09:15Commander. The queen mother summons you. Immediately.
00:09:26Your grace.
00:09:27Hera, the gods have seen every injustice done to you.
00:09:30You gave your life for Cade, yet you end up here all because Moses is young and stupid.
00:09:35I've already reprimanded him, and he's praying for forgiveness.
00:09:38Please don't worry about me, your majesty.
00:09:41The king needed to establish authority after taking the throne.
00:09:44Everything I did was my duty. I hold no resentment.
00:09:48Moses is grown now, and the kingdom is stable.
00:09:52It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision. I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:10:00The late king swore this oath before the gods. It 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. This 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. You don't have to force yourself.
00:10:23I've known the king almost my whole life. And this marriage was the late king's final wish.
00:10:40Commander. If you're angry, take it out on me.
00:10:45Even if I had to die, I probably blame you.
00:10:52Hera! You dared to hit a ring!
00:10:55I swear by the gods. I never touched her. I would never hurt her.
00:10:59I saw it with my own eyes. And you still dare lie before the gods?
00:11:05Please calm down, your majesty. Don't blame the commander. It's my fault for offended her.
00:11:10Hera! I deserve punishment. If my suffering eases her anger, then I'll gladly accept it!
00:11:16Hera! I order you to apologize to Irene right now!
00:11:20I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?
00:11:23Dare you disobey me! Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:45Hera, that was incredible! Teach me!
00:11:48Come here. I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind. Keep your arms steady. Let your eyes follow the arrow.
00:11:56That's the path the gods guide you towards.
00:12:01Hera, you're the one the gods sent to guide me.
00:12:04When the war ends, I'll marry you before the entire kingdom.
00:12:07I'll stay by your side forever and make you the happiest woman in Cade.
00:12:17Brother, stop! She's the pillar of this kingdom.
00:12:20You can't treat her like this.
00:12:23Cain, you dare defy me too?
00:12:26You 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.
00:12:33She'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 Reen.
00:12:38She hit herself to frame the commander.
00:12:41You've been blinded by the devil.
00:12:43Guards!
00:12:44Escort Prince Cain back to his chambers.
00:12:46He is confined till further notice.
00:12:52Hera, you've shown complete disrespect to the crown, the royal family, and even the gods.
00:12:58Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:02Your command over the armies is revoked.
00:13:04And the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be taken back immediately.
00:13:15As you command, 100 chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Guards, take Irene to be treated.
00:13:35Moses, that crest was bestowed by the late king in the gods' name.
00:13:40It represents honor and faith.
00:13:43Taking it back is an insult to the gods themselves.
00:13:46Don't worry, mother.
00:13:47I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:13:49Your wedding is near, yet you humiliated her before everyone.
00:13:53You stripped her power and took her crest.
00:13:56How will you face her afterward?
00:13:58Right now, the people of Cade only know Hera.
00:14:01Not me.
00:14:03If I don't crush her influence before the wedding, this kingdom will belong to her instead of me.
00:14:10Then make them know you.
00:14:14It's fine, mother.
00:14:15She's like the rose with thorns.
00:14:17Only pulling every thorn out makes her truly submit.
00:14:20Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:24Aren't you afraid driving Hera away will bring divine punishment?
00:14:27Don't worry.
00:14:28She's obeyed me for years.
00:14:29The gods bound us together.
00:14:30And besides, I don't want a legendary commander feared across the world.
00:14:35I just want a woman who belongs only to me.
00:14:37You always were a stubborn boy.
00:14:39Besides, after her last campaign, her body's already broken.
00:14:41Taking away her command is for her own good.
00:14:43She needs rest.
00:14:44You're grown now.
00:14:46Just remember, control your decisions anymore.
00:14:49Don't destroy what you and Hera once had.
00:14:52That bond was blessed by the gods.
00:15:01Your majesty, Hera requests an audience.
00:15:06Let her in.
00:15:07Let her in.
00:15:13The gods have blessed you, your majesty.
00:15:16Your dedication for ruling lately reminds me of the late king.
00:15:20I'm glad to see it.
00:15:23Hera, you've spent years fighting for this kingdom.
00:15:26Your wounds are severe.
00:15:28Now that you've stepped down as commander, just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:33Before I leave the palace, this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, your majesty.
00:15:43The orc empire has sent envoys.
00:15:45They want peace talks.
00:15:47Guards!
00:15:48Quickly, get Irene treated.
00:15:50Approved.
00:15:50You may leave now.
00:15:52Hera, I know you've suffered lately.
00:15:54We'll talk everything through after the wedding, okay?
00:16:00Your majesty.
00:16:02There's no after this anymore.
00:16:05There's no after this anymore.
00:16:21Hera!
00:16:22Are you hurt?
00:16:25I'm fine.
00:16:26It's nothing.
00:16:28No, that's not nothing.
00:16:30To 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.
00:16:51Hera, come home safe.
00:16:53I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:17:00Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:06Moses, Hera is no ordinary woman.
00:17:08The gods chose her.
00:17:10I swear on all the gods, I'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.
00:17:33May the gods bless them.
00:17:35The 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.
00:17:45Why would they suddenly marry now?
00:17:47You 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.
00:17:52I see.
00:17:53Then we misunderstood his majesty.
00:18:04Your 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?
00:18:13This is an insult to the crown!
00:18:15Don't blame her.
00:18:16She's been hurt lately.
00:18:18I'll speak to her myself.
00:18:19What's wrong?
00:18:22Where's Hera?
00:18:24Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:37Stop!
00:18:45Your majesty.
00:18:47Tell me where Hera is.
00:18:49Answer 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.
00:19:02What?!
00:19:03No.
00:19:03That's impossible.
00:19:04You're lying.
00:19:05Hera swore to my father she'd take me protect Cade.
00:19:07She swore before the gods.
00:19:09She would never leave me.
00:19:10Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you.
00:19:13Insolence.
00:19:14How dare you speak such nonsense before his majesty?
00:19:17Hera, now that you're gone, your kingdom and your man are all mine.
00:19:22Your majesty, I swear by the gods, Lady Hera truly left the capital.
00:19:27Before she left, she ordered me to throw away all the old belongings in the estate.
00:19:32Hera, these night bracelets were offered by the Lord of the Eastern Territories.
00:19:36I saved them especially for you.
00:19:37Wear them, like I'm always by your side, protecting you.
00:19:41I love them.
00:19:42I'll treasure them forever.
00:19:44Old belongings.
00:19:45Could she mean all the things I gave her?
00:19:49Where are they?
00:19:51Over there.
00:19:52Half of them have already burned.
00:20:00Those were my gifts to hide.
00:20:11Hera, look.
00:20:12This is our vow parchment.
00:20:14It says, I'll love Hera forever and we'll never be apart.
00:20:17Yes, we'll be together forever, never apart.
00:20:26When you're away at war, if you miss me, look at this painting.
00:20:31Whenever I miss you, I'll keep looking at it.
00:20:37Guards!
00:20:37This man destroyed royal property.
00:20:39Execute him immediately.
00:20:40Guards!
00:20:41This man destroyed royal property.
00:20:43Execute him immediately.
00:20:45Mercy, your majesty!
00:20:46I swear by the gods!
00:20:48I didn't know those belonged to the royal family.
00:20:50Please spare me!
00:20:52You can't do this!
00:20:52He didn't know!
00:20:53Your majesty, you can't kill him!
00:20:55What?
00:20:56You're defending him now?
00:20:57Lady Hera just left, and you already want to execute her old servant.
00:21:01If she hears about this, what will she think of you?
00:21:03Right.
00:21:04She just left.
00:21:05She can't have gone far yet.
00:21:07I can still bring Hera back!
00:21:08Hera no longer holds any office.
00:21:10You have no right to force her back.
00:21:14She may not hold office anymore, but she is still my rightful fiancΓ©.
00:21:19I have every right to bring her back.
00:21:22Hera abandoned the royal wedding and disgraced the crown before the entire kingdom.
00:21:26That's treason against the royal family and betrayal of the gods.
00:21:29A crime worthy of death.
00:21:32Exactly!
00:21:33Hera deserves to die for this!
00:21:37Brother, have you ever stopped to think why Hera left without a word?
00:21:40Have you reflected on anything you've done?
00:21:44Cain!
00:21:45Are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare.
00:21:49Enough!
00:21:50Get out!
00:21:50I don't want to see you right now!
00:21:56And you, do you think this is my fault too?
00:21:59Of course not!
00:22:01This is all Hera's doing.
00:22:02She's manipulated everyone around her.
00:22:05She bewitched Cain with that pretty face of hers.
00:22:08That's why he keeps defending her.
00:22:11I knew it!
00:22:12Cain must have feelings for Hera.
00:22:14But now, how do I fix this mess?
00:22:18I thought marrying her would stabilize the kingdom.
00:22:21But she escaped, turning me into a joke of the whole kingdom.
00:22:26I have a solution, Your Majesty.
00:22:28Say it!
00:22:30The only way to calm the royal court and the people
00:22:33is to find someone to impersonate Hera until this crisis passes.
00:22:38Your height and figure are close enough to Hera's.
00:22:41You'll do.
00:22:44Your Majesty.
00:22:46I'm afraid I may not be worthy enough for such a role.
00:22:49That was not a request.
00:22:50It's an order.
00:22:52Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:55I, as you command.
00:23:02Hera, the kingdom you built, and the man you loved.
00:23:05From now on, they'll all belong to me.
00:23:09Hera, I am the king of Cade.
00:23:11The ruler of this world.
00:23:13No one's allowed to defy me.
00:23:24Hera, is that you?
00:23:26You finally came back to me.
00:23:28My Hera.
00:23:30I knew you were hurt before.
00:23:33But why wouldn't you just listen to me?
00:23:36I wanted to tell you everything.
00:23:38On our wedding night.
00:23:43Hera, I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you.
00:23:47But I'm a king.
00:23:48I wasn't just myself.
00:23:50Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:53But don't worry.
00:23:54I'll make it up to you from now on.
00:23:57Irene, Irene even taught me how to please a woman.
00:24:01I'll make you happy.
00:24:02I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:07Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:14Your majesty!
00:24:15We located Hera.
00:24:16She's currently in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:18Great.
00:24:19I'm leaving immediately.
00:24:20I'll bring Hera back myself.
00:24:22Hera, you bitch.
00:24:24I'll send the Shadow Eclipse assassins to kill you in Essos Ridge before Moses ever reaches you.
00:24:30Never steal Moses from me again.
00:24:39Your mind's somewhere else tonight.
00:24:41After everything you did for Cade.
00:24:43After all your victories.
00:24:44This is how the king repaid you.
00:24:46How can the world be this unfair?
00:24:48I spent my whole life fighting wars for the kingdom.
00:24:51Now that I finally have peace, you should be happy for me.
00:24:55Maybe so.
00:24:57But it's still so unfair.
00:25:00It's heartbreaking.
00:25:05Look out!
00:25:11Such strong magic.
00:25:13They aren't ordinary assassins.
00:25:19Hera, time to die.
00:25:28Don't touch her!
00:25:39Gareth!
00:25:58Your power is impressive, but your old wounds never healed.
00:26:02You're finished.
00:26:05Tonight, I'm taking your life.
00:26:08Who 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!
00:26:21Stay with me!
00:26:22You can't die!
00:26:40So it's true, Hera.
00:26:42Hera, I knew there was something between you and Cain.
00:26:45I came all this way to bring you back, and this is what I find?
00:26:48Sneaking around with my own brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly?
00:26:52You're a prince.
00:26:53Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me?
00:26:56It'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.
00:27:05Of 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 Cain.
00:27:18Brother, you've got it wrong.
00:27:20I...
00:27:20I only followed because I was worried Hera might be in danger.
00:27:24We...
00:27:24We weren't running away together.
00:27:26You expect me to believe that?
00:27:28If your majesty has already decided what to believe,
00:27:32then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say...
00:27:36Guards!
00:27:37Execute Hera, now!
00:27:44That's a royal command!
00:27:46Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:48Your...
00:27:49Your majesty, Hera fought and bled for this kingdom.
00:27:52Earned countless honors.
00:27:53You...
00:27:53You cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you have the guts, I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty,
00:28:00Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom.
00:28:03How...
00:28:03How can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:05Everything I've done in this life,
00:28:08I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:11Answer for yourself?
00:28:12Then what about our engagement?
00:28:13You abandoned me on our wedding day
00:28:15and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom.
00:28:18Did 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?
00:28:33Your majesty,
00:28:34I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:28:37They want peace talks!
00:28:40Approved.
00:28:41You may leave now.
00:28:43Someone!
00:28:44Bring me that document!
00:28:45Now!
00:28:51No!
00:28:52No, it's not true!
00:28:54This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read carefully.
00:28:59It's real.
00:29:00How?
00:29:02How did this happen?
00:29:03Why didn't I know about this?
00:29:05Who kept this from me?
00:29:06Who?
00:29:06It was you!
00:29:08Take him out and execute him!
00:29:09Now!
00:29:10Your majesty, please!
00:29:11I swear I hid nothing!
00:29:12You approved it without even a glance!
00:29:14Hera,
00:29:15I swear to the gods,
00:29:16I didn't know it was a cancellation document.
00:29:18Please believe me.
00:29:20It's already done.
00:29:21Our engagement was over.
00:29:23There's nothing left between us now.
00:29:25You promised my father!
00:29:26You promised to protect Cated,
00:29:28to protect my throne!
00:29:30I did.
00:29:31And I fulfilled the promise.
00:29:33Then that means you can still-
00:29:35I once swore before the gods
00:29:36that I would give you 100 chances.
00:29:38You've used every last one.
00:29:40100?
00:29:42How could they all be gone already?
00:29:44No!
00:29:44You're lying to me!
00:29:45That was a hundred chances!
00:29:47There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:49You are stripped of your position as regent.
00:29:51Irene will take your place.
00:29:52As you command.
00:29:55Pity's foolish heroes who throw their lives away.
00:30:02From this day on,
00:30:04we are neither ruler and subject,
00:30:07nor husband and wife.
00:30:15Now the hundred chances are truly gone.
00:30:18It's time to leave.
00:30:21Everything in Cato belongs to me.
00:30:24Including you.
00:30:26I'd kill you rather than let you leave me.
00:30:32Fine.
00:30:33If you truly want my life,
00:30:35then take it.
00:30:37Your 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!
00:30:51Your Highness!
00:30:52You don't have to do this.
00:30:55Your Majesty!
00:30:56Lady Hera has done too much for Cade.
00:30:58If you kill her like this,
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.
00:31:08Why do you care about her so much?
00:31:10This isn't personal.
00:31:11But the people know right from wrong.
00:31:14If you execute a national hero without cause,
00:31:17neither the nobles nor the people will accept it.
00:31:20Good.
00:31:20Everyone says Hera has the people behind her.
00:31:23Power everywhere.
00:31:24Loyal followers everywhere she goes.
00:31:26Yeah, that is terrifying.
00:31:27Your Majesty!
00:31:28Please don't say that.
00:31:29The late King changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me.
00:31:33Believed in me.
00:31:34I'll never forget that kindness.
00:31:35So 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?
00:31:42Every one of them is a deadly commander.
00:31:43Can you guarantee they won't turn against me?
00:31:54I'll let them lay down their titles and return home.
00:31:57The royal family will face no threat from them.
00:32:00You have my word.
00:32:01I can let you leave.
00:32:02But you must promise me.
00:32:04Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:05Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:08What a waste to be chained down by...
00:32:09Watch your tongue!
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs in front of me.
00:32:12Wanna die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:16Swear before the gods that you will never serve anyone else for the rest of your life.
00:32:19Or you'll be punished with God's harshest judgment.
00:32:22I accept.
00:32:24I, Hera, swear before the gods.
00:32:26For the rest of my life, I will fight me for Cade and remain loyal only to Cade.
00:32:29I 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?
00:32:41I already gave the first half of my life to Cade.
00:32:44I fulfilled the late king's final wish.
00:32:47Now it's time for me to leave.
00:32:50I want to travel the world, live the rest of my life in peace, and never involve myself in the
00:32:55kingdom again.
00:32:55You 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?
00:33:01You seriously overestimate yourself.
00:33:03I never thought that.
00:33:04That's exactly what you think.
00:33:06Lucky for Cade, there's never a shortage of warriors or brilliant minds.
00:33:10With Irene leading the kingdom, Cade will thrive just fine.
00:33:14Better than ever, actually.
00:33:16I won't disappoint your majesty's trust.
00:33:21Moses is still young.
00:33:23I'm only trusting with him and the kingdom's future.
00:33:27I'll give it everything I have.
00:33:29The late king entrusted everything to me before he died.
00:33:32No matter what, I have to do last thing for Cade.
00:33:35Your majesty is wise.
00:33:37Before I leave, there are three things I beg you to remember.
00:33:41Interesting.
00:33:42So even you have something to beg me for now.
00:33:44First, Cade has suffered through years of war.
00:33:48The people are exhausted.
00:33:49Lower the taxes and don't burden them any further.
00:33:53I already know that.
00:33:54Second, the northern cities were only recently subdued.
00:33:58Morrill and his men are fierce and proud.
00:34:00While I was here, I could keep them loyal.
00:34:02Please treat them with mercy and respect.
00:34:04If you push them too hard, they will rebel, which will bring disaster to the kingdom.
00:34:15Lord Moriak, unstoppable!
00:34:18One man against 10,000!
00:34:22Don't worry.
00:34:24Irene is the truly gifted one in Cade.
00:34:26She's far more capable than you ever were.
00:34:28Third, never trust the orc empire.
00:34:32Gromash and his court are brutal by nature.
00:34:34Never lower your guard around them.
00:34:37Finished, that's all.
00:34:38Nothing new to rule the kingdom.
00:34:40Don't underestimate these three rules.
00:34:42If 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.
00:34:52Every word I said came from my heart.
00:34:54Listen carefully!
00:34:55This kingdom won't stop without you.
00:34:57No, Cade will even become stronger than before.
00:34:58That's good.
00:35:00May Cade kingdom prosper, and may my king be safe and well.
00:35:04Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cade away and treat his injuries immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:36The moment you left, all three of us were stripped of military command.
00:35:42We refused to continue serving that damned king.
00:35:45We suffered endless humiliation in the royal court.
00:35:48We would rather follow you, even if it means doing the roughest labor.
00:35:52Lady Hera, please don't leave.
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.
00:36:02I 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.
00:36:11Now traitorous dimensions drive away a loyal hero.
00:36:14We refuse to accept it!
00:36:18The royal court has wronged its greatest protector.
00:36:21That's right!
00:36:22All gatherings must come to an end someday.
00:36:26Everyone, please go home.
00:36:28Don't make things harder for Hera.
00:36:34May your road ahead be safe, my lady.
00:36:37May the rest of your life be peaceful and stable.
00:36:52You saw it with your own eyes.
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.
00:37:01I'll make Hera understand who truly deserves to rule Cade.
00:37:05Your Majesty, I have a brilliant plan that will secure your throne quickly and elevate your
00:37:10prestige far above Hera's.
00:37:11Speak!
00:37:12What plan?
00:37:13Though Hera is gone, her influence within the court still remains.
00:37:18Your Majesty should dismiss every official connected to her and replace them all with
00:37:22people loyal only to you.
00:37:24And you must win over the nobles and ministers by increasing their salaries and privileges.
00:37:28Only when those in power benefit from your rule will they truly devote themselves to you.
00:37:32Only then will Cade truly belong to you.
00:37:36But the royal treasury has long been emptied.
00:37:39We simply don't have the money for increased rewards.
00:37:43Then raise the taxes.
00:37:45But before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me never to raise taxes.
00:37:49Keep the people to live peacefully.
00:37:51You are mistaken.
00:37:53To secure royal authority, you must first secure the loyalty of those who hold power around you.
00:37:57Only when officials profit from your rule will they truly obey you.
00:38:01Hera wasn't protecting the people by opposing higher taxes.
00:38:04She was deliberately holding you back so you could never truly secure your throne.
00:38:09You mustn't fall for her tricks.
00:38:11What a scheming woman.
00:38:13Even after leaving, she's still plotting against me.
00:38:17As you said, deliver my order at once.
00:38:21Raise the taxes.
00:38:24Your majesty, as minister of agriculture, I present three treasures.
00:38:29Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepuls.
00:38:34May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever.
00:38:39Excellent.
00:38:40Truly excellent.
00:38:42Cade is fortunate to have such a devoted official as you.
00:38:44I oversee the kingdom's military affairs and offer the Blacksteel Command Seal, the Lionheart Battle Armor, and the Hundred War
00:38:52Bone.
00:38:53May Cade Cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us.
00:38:57Well done.
00:38:58That's Irene's brother.
00:39:00You've forged Cade army into such a powerful force.
00:39:03With you there, our borders will remain secure forever.
00:39:07I present the Star Crystal Stepter, the Deep Sea Pearl Crown, and the Holy Light Blessing Scroll.
00:39:14May your majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people, and secure your supreme royal authority
00:39:21forever.
00:39:28Ever since Irene began assisting me in governing the kingdom, Cade has grown stronger every time.
00:39:35The 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?
00:40:03Congratulations, your majesty.
00:40:05Are you still unwilling to accept it, thinking that without Hera, Cade could never maintain its essence glory?
00:40:11I didn't think so.
00:40:13Let'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!
00:40:23You still side with her in your heart!
00:40:26I would truly like to see Hera's expression when she realizes Cade remains prosperous, even without her.
00:40:31Prosperous?
00:40:32The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe.
00:40:35Citizens are displaced, suffering miserably everywhere.
00:40:38And you call this prosperous?
00:40:46The taxes are due!
00:40:48How dare you lay payment?
00:40:49If you still refuse spare what you pay, I'll whip you to death!
00:40:52Sir, this year's harvest completely failed.
00:40:56The taxes are far too heavy.
00:40:58We truly can't afford to pay.
00:40:59You have no choice!
00:41:01This is the king's command!
00:41:03Anyone who resists taxation will be executed on the spot!
00:41:07How dare you speak such nonsense here!
00:41:10Cade is peaceful and prosperous today entirely because of his majesty.
00:41:14Raising taxes slightly is what made this grand banquet and this stability possible.
00:41:19What is wrong with that?
00:41:20Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised.
00:41:25The people needed time to recover.
00:41:28You promised her that.
00:41:30Shut up!
00:41:32Hera has no right to lecture me on how to govern my kingdom!
00:41:35If you refuse to listen to honest counsel and remain this stubborn,
00:41:38then I have nothing left to say.
00:41:41Insolence!
00:41:42Since you despise everything here so much, then get out!
00:41:45Go to the far north and never back again!
00:41:47Your 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?
00:41:58Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:01Those two cities have already...
00:42:05Already 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.
00:42:19They're only two worthless cities.
00:42:20Then that's it, not a great deal.
00:42:31This little beauty looks good!
00:42:33Take her with us!
00:42:35Look!
00:42:35Look!
00:42:36Let me go!
00:42:38Let me go!
00:42:41You beast!
00:42:43Let go of my daughter!
00:42:50With the king being this foolish, Cade will fall.
00:42:54Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the royal city.
00:42:58Spare you from suffering in the far north.
00:43:00There's no need.
00:43:01I'll leave at once.
00:43:03You would rather die than remain by my side?
00:43:05Yes.
00:43:06There is no hope left here.
00:43:09My heart has long since died.
00:43:11I'm leaving now.
00:43:15Report!
00:43:16A devastating locust plain has erupted in Gale Wind City.
00:43:19The 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.
00:43:41The dam collapsed.
00:43:42The farmlands are gone.
00:43:44The damηΎated.
00:43:45The razooled.
00:43:45The dam alders.
00:43:46Associated.
00:43:46The damades.
00:43:52The dam ans.
00:43:58The dam μκ²Ό.
00:43:59Didn't you swear the kingdom was thriving?
00:44:01With good harvests?
00:44:03Peaceful people?
00:44:04No disasters?
00:44:05Now we've got locusts and floods, and you hid it from me?
00:44:08How dare you?
00:44:10Your Majesty! I swear I'm innocent!
00:44:13I just got word myself there was no time to report it sooner!
00:44:17Lies! You still dare make excuses! Guards, execute him now!
00:44:26This could be rumours spread by rebels.
00:44:29I'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. If the disasters are real, then it's simple.
00:44:40Open the treasury. Send food and gold. The people will settle down soon enough.
00:44:46Your Majesty, the treasury, it's empty.
00:44:50We plan to raise taxes again after the birthday banquet just to keep the palace running.
00:44:54But now...
00:44:56No! That's impossible!
00:44:58We just collected taxes not long ago. How could the treasury be empty?
00:45:01The money's already gone, Your Majesty.
00:45:03The ceremony's, the banquets, palace renovations, rewards for your favourites. Nothing left.
00:45:10First, Cade has suffered through years of war. The people are exhausted. Lower the taxes and don't burden them any
00:45:17further.
00:45:18I already know that.
00:45:20Was I really wrong?
00:45:22No. I'm the king. Kings don't make mistakes.
00:45:27Irene! Think of something. We have to keep this under control no matter what.
00:45:33There's only one way left. Raise taxes again. Let the people suffer a little longer. And we survive this crisis.
00:45:41Yes.
00:45:57Hera. If Hera were here, none of this would have happened.
00:46:03It's been six months. Why won't you come back? Why can't you forgive me?
00:46:11You need to learn this properly. This is what keeps the kingdom standing.
00:46:15But you're already amazing at running the kingdom. We promised we'd be together forever.
00:46:20And I listen to everything you say anyway. Isn't that enough?
00:46:27It's all my fault. I should have listened to you. Didn't we promise we'd never leave each other? Then why
00:46:33aren't you here? Why?
00:46:34Cade's falling apart now. Disasters everywhere. People are suffering.
00:46:39Hera, are you really gonna stand there and watch me fail?
00:46:42Hera. I miss you. Please come back. Please save Cade. Save me.
00:46:57The king keeps squeezing the people dry. Now we've got locusts and floods back to back. The people can't survive
00:47:04like this.
00:47:05The king doubted you, humiliated you, and tried to kill you back then. You can't seriously go back and save
00:47:11him.
00:47:11Exactly. That royal family destroyed you. Why keep sacrificing yourself for people who betrayed you?
00:47:18But... the people are suffering.
00:47:25Hera!
00:47:27Why... why are you here?
00:47:33Your hands... what happened to them?
00:47:37It's usual to have these calluses. But you're a prince. Why aren't you in the capital?
00:47:45My brother... banished me.
00:47:51So even the last person willing to tell him the truth got driven away too?
00:47:55I'm so happy to see you here again. I'm also the late king's son. And I've admired you for long.
00:48:01Can I...
00:48:03The northern beast threat still isn't over. The kingdom's in chaos. I'm not thinking about love right now.
00:48:10I see. But I'd ask you a very great favor. Right now Irene controls everything. Taxes are crushing the people.
00:48:17And she already handed over two northern fortresses to the Gromish crown. The kingdom's falling apart. Hera, please...
00:48:22Come back and save Cade's people.
00:48:25If that's the case, then for the sake of the people, I'll go back one more time.
00:48:30That's great! Things are already at the breaking point. We need a plan immediately.
00:48:35The situation isn't hopeless yet. If we can provide food and money to calm the people, the crisis can still
00:48:42be contained.
00:48:44The only thing I'm worried about is... What's that?
00:48:46Morlock of the North. He's fierce and hot-tempered. He can't be threatened, or if he's pushed too far, he'll
00:48:52rebel for sure.
00:48:53And once that happens, Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom. There will be no saving it
00:48:57then.
00:48:58Moses can't be that foolish. He already made one mistake raising taxes. Surely he won't make another.
00:49:03I hope not.
00:49:06Your Majesty! General Morlock of the North is outside requesting an immediate audience!
00:49:10Morlock! Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect.
00:49:14He's fierce and hot-tempered. If pushed him too hard, he'll rebel.
00:49:18Pass down my order. Prepare the best wine and food.
00:49:22Welcome General Morack with the highest honors!
00:49:27Your Majesty, please don't! The treasury's already empty! Every coin matters right now!
00:49:33Morlock's nothing more than a surrendered general. He doesn't deserve the honors. Some ordinary food is more than enough.
00:49:40And he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people. But we can't lower taxes anymore.
00:49:47Leave this to me, Your Majesty. I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:52But Hera warned me to treat him with respect. What you do could cause real trouble.
00:49:57You worry too much, Your Majesty. Men like him only understand strength. Leave everything to me. Nothing will go wrong.
00:50:12Your Majesty. I'm Morack.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty? Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were. This Morlock may look intimidating, but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere
00:50:24else to go.
00:50:25Fine. Get up and speak.
00:50:29Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:50:30You've traveled a long way here. Must be exhausted.
00:50:33The journey means nothing. But today, in front of both you and the Grand Marshal, I need an answer.
00:50:39Huh? Go on.
00:50:41When Grand Marshal Hera united the Northern tribes, she made a promise before every soldier and citizen that the North
00:50:47would be exempt from taxes for five years.
00:50:50And if disaster or war ever struck, the Royal Treasury would provide relief for the people immediately.
00:50:56But what happened?
00:50:59Not only have you sent us nothing, you broke the agreement yourselves.
00:51:04You buried the people under Endless and drove them straight into hell!
00:51:09Is this how the Royal keeps its word?
00:51:11We swore loyalty to Cade because we believed in Hera's honor.
00:51:14But you've broken every promise she made.
00:51:17What explanation do you have for the Northern soldiers and citizens?
00:51:22How dare you? Are you openly questioning the Royal Court now? Or are you trying to challenge the King's authority?
00:51:30I've never questioned the Royal. I only ask for justice for my people.
00:51:36Royal policy is decided by the Court, not by border warriors like you.
00:51:41Your only job is to control your territory, keep the border stable, and obey orders.
00:51:46And you can't even manage that. Yet you still dare bark at the King?
00:51:51A surrendered brute like you? Dares act arrogant in the Royal Hall? Who the hell do you think you are?
00:51:58Know your place, loser. The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate, so stay there and wag your
00:52:04tail. Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:06You're nothing but a poor thing the Royal took in out of pity. We fed you. And you should have
00:52:13stayed grateful and obedient. Dare you disrespect your majesty and me? You deserve nothing!
00:52:19And that precious Hera you worship so much? She's nothing but a discarded failure the King threw away. A stray
00:52:26dog driven out of the palace. And my defeated loser. And my defeated loser.
00:52:32You bitch! How dare you insult Hera! You filthy little snake! For saying that alone, you deserve to die!
00:52:47Morlach! Are you insane? What the hell are you doing? I... I'm the Grand Marshal of the Kingdom!
00:52:55You're the Grand Marshal?
00:52:57That's right! Lay one finger on me and you'll be guilty of treason!
00:53:01The Grand Marshal is a useless, poisonous rat like you. Then Cade truly is finished!
00:53:06Morlach! How dare you! Let Eren go right now! Now!
00:53:09Hera once praised you a wise king carrying the people. But now that I've seen you with my own eyes,
00:53:13you're nothing but a blind fool surrounded by corrupt snakes!
00:53:16You insolent bastard! How dare you insult the King! Go to hell!
00:53:25Nobody move! Whoever takes one more step! I slip her throat right here! No mercy!
00:53:31Back off! All of you! Back off! Don't come near me, please!
00:53:35Why things become this bad? When Hera was here, everything's going well.
00:53:39Everyone! Move back immediately! Get to the sides!
00:53:43Your Majesty, you cannot let him leave alive. Morlach is too dangerous. If he escapes the palace today, he must
00:53:51raise an army and rebel. I beg you to execute him now and end this threat once and for all.
00:53:57Listen carefully. If anyone attacks me now, I'll drag Eren straight to hell with me.
00:54:02Your Majesty, save me! Don't listen to him! Lord Morlach, I'll give you money, land, power, anything you want! Just
00:54:08don't kill me!
00:54:09Huh! A coward like you actually sits in power? You're rotten to the bone!
00:54:13Your Majesty! Sacrificing Irene in exchange for killing Morlach would secure the kingdom for generations! For the sake of all
00:54:20Cade's people, you must not let him go!
00:54:22We beg your Majesty to abandon Irene! Kill the traitor Morlach and protect the kingdom!
00:54:34My Hera, you've been working on military matters all morning, must be starving by now. Come on, try the food
00:54:40I made for you.
00:54:41You made all this yourself?
00:54:43Sure. This camp barely has supplies. If I had proper ingredients, I could make you a real feast.
00:54:48This is already more than enough. Thank you, my dear Cain.
00:54:53My Lady! Urgent military report! Urgent situation!
00:55:00What happened?
00:55:01Our scouts confirmed that Moravac openly turned against King Moses and Irene in the Royal Council Hall. The confrontation nearly
00:55:10exploded into bloodshed. God! Morlach's temper is terrified. The openly challenging the royal family could have completely caused a chaos.
00:55:17Morlach entered the capital with a handful of trusted men. If Moses had executed him on the spot to stop
00:55:23him returning the North, this rebellion could still have been prevented.
00:55:26But the King chose to save Irene instead. He ordered the guards to stand down and allowed Morak to leave
00:55:30for the North safely.
00:55:34No, that's bad. A lot of innocent people are gonna die now.
00:55:42You ungrateful traitor! The King spared your life out of mercy because of your past service. And this is how
00:55:47you repay him. The second you return North, you gather an army and openly rebel against the Crown? That's treason!
00:55:53So you're Irene's loser brother. Makes sense. As arrogant and useless as she is. Believe me, I could flatten this
00:55:59city in a second and cut off your head as my wine cup.
00:56:02Then open your damn eyes and look around. Our walls are unbreakable. Our food supplies are full and our soldiers
00:56:08are elite fighters. Even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here, you still won't touch these walls.
00:56:13Back when Hera guarded this kingdom, I might honor the court without crossing the line.
00:56:20Grand Marshal Hera!
00:56:21No need for formalities. I know you're loyal and honorable. Everything that happened before wasn't truly your choice. I will
00:56:29honor every single promise I made. To lower taxes, care for the soldiers, and bring peace to the North. I
00:56:35swear it.
00:56:36But look at the kingdom now. A righteous leader like Hera was framed, humiliated, and driven out by corrupt cowards
00:56:43like you. I didn't raise this army for power. I'm fighting for Hera's honor. For justice for the suffering people
00:56:49of the North.
00:56:50North soldiers! Charge! Break Stonehold City! Fight for Hera's name! For peace of North!
00:57:00All soldiers, rain arrows! Drop the boulders! Crush these traitors into pieces!
00:57:13Let's go!
00:57:21Karen! Get the catapult ready! Launch me onto the wall! Release it! Full power!
00:57:37Stop him! Stop the monster! Kill him no matter what it takes!
00:57:53Look carefully! Your commander Fulton is now my prisoner. Nobody here can save him.
00:58:01I know exactly who most of you are. You once fought beside Hera on the battlefield. Now she's been framed
00:58:09and driven out by corrupt cowards. You feel nothing? No anger? No shame?
00:58:16I did not raise this army. I did not raise this army to betray the kingdom, but to restore Hera's
00:58:20honor. To make people of the North live in peace again.
00:58:25Throw down your weapons and surrender. I swear on my life as a warrior, no harm will come to you.
00:58:31You tell the truth. You fight with honor and righteousness.
00:58:35We're born to protect our homeland, not to die for Irene. I surrender willingly!
00:58:39We surrender! From now on, we're willing to follow you and restore justice for Hera!
00:58:45Your Majesty, thank you for giving me a second chance. I swear on my life, I'll devote everything to you
00:58:52forever. Never betray you.
00:58:58You swore to me that Morak was nothing more than a broken, defeated general. You said he had no courage
00:59:04left.
00:59:05Your Majesty, please calm down and think carefully about this. It's weird. Morlock kept mentioning Hera over and over again.
00:59:12If you ask me, Hera must be the real mastermind behind all of this.
00:59:16No. Is it truly Hera's secretly plotting against me?
00:59:20Think about it, Your Majesty. She once controlled the entire kingdom's military power, stood above everyone. After being stripped of
00:59:26everything and exiled, how could she possibly accept that? That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace. It seems
00:59:33like I was the target. But in reality, she's humiliating the royal and attacking your authority and shaking your throne
00:59:39step by step.
00:59:40Damn her.
00:59:42She can't defeat me openly, so now she hides and plays dirty. Letting her followers create chaos. Humiliating me. Provoking
00:59:50the entire kingdom of Kaeda.
00:59:51Everyone knows Hera's good at winning people over. She tricks soldiers and silizans with fake kindness and pretty words. We
00:59:57absolutely cannot fall for her lies. Must crush her scheme before it's too late.
01:00:01But it's already too late. I let Morlock go to save you, giving him chance to rally all his forces
01:00:07and march south. How are we supposed to stop this war?
01:00:09Don't panic, Your Majesty. I've already prepared for this. My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City, the only path from
01:00:16the north to the capital. Its defenses are impenetrable and the supplies are abundant. As long as Stonehold stands, Morrick
01:00:22will never reach the capital city. And my brother's a battle heart in general. Morlock may be strong, but he's
01:00:28just a brute. There's no way he can break through the defenses. You can rest easy, Your Majesty.
01:00:37Your Majesty. Terrible news from the front lines. Morack's army has completely captured Stonehold City. General Fulton had his neck
01:00:45crushed by Morack.
01:00:52No. That's impossible. My brother's fought in countless battles. Stonehold City was supposed to be impressible. How could it fall
01:01:00so fast? How could he die?
01:01:03Enough, Irene. All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans. Now Morlock's army has broken
01:01:09through the north and is marching straight for the capital. Tell me, at this point, is there even a way
01:01:14to turn this around?
01:01:19Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I have one final plan that can save the kingdom from destruction.
01:01:27Then spit it out. Now.
01:01:29The soldiers in capital are too weak to stop Morlock's hundred thousand elite riders.
01:01:34The only option is to send envoys to the Orkian Empire. Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their
01:01:41forces to crush this rebellion.
01:01:44Absolutely not. I will never agree to something this insane.
01:01:48Your Majesty, remember my final warning. Never forget it.
01:01:54The Orks are savage by nature. Bloodthirsty and ambitious.
01:01:58They've always coveted the rich lands of Cade. They can never be trusted.
01:02:02I have never forgotten Hera's warning. The Orks are greedy wolves.
01:02:07Allying with them would be suicidal. It could destroy Cade.
01:02:12Your Majesty, this is no time to hesitate. Morlock's army is launching straight for us. He wants your throne.
01:02:18The Orks only want gold, food, and a small piece of border territory.
01:02:22If paying that price protects your crown and saves all our lives, it's more than worth it.
01:02:28Fine. We've almost reached the dead end. There's no other choice now. I'll take the risk.
01:02:32Rest easy, Your Majesty. I'll send trusted envoys to the Ork Empire tonight to secure the Alliance and get their
01:02:37army as fast as possible.
01:02:54Marshal Hera, the undefeated goddess of war.
01:02:57You're finally here. I've waited day and night for this moment.
01:03:00You have no idea how those snakes in the royal court slandered you, humiliated you, and trampled all over your
01:03:05loyalty in front of the entire palace.
01:03:07I'm clear with everything. You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months.
01:03:12King's blind and Erene controls the court. I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:16But we're warriors to protect the people. No matter what happens, we cannot start a war lightly.
01:03:21Now I need you to order the army to withdraw north.
01:03:24Show the kingdom our sincerity. I'll personally return to the capital and negotiate with the king one last time.
01:03:30If he still insists on dragging the kingdom deeper into ruin, we'll march and take back justice for everyone.
01:03:37Marshal Hera, I don't want my soldiers dying meaninglessly either.
01:03:41I'll follow every order you give without question.
01:03:46My ministers! Morlick has completely taken Stonehold City.
01:03:50His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now.
01:03:54So does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing. You talk endlessly like genius every day.
01:04:01But now that the kingdom's collapsing, suddenly everyone's silent?
01:04:04Where is my royal guard?
01:04:06Why is there not even one soldier here to protect me?
01:04:09Your majesty. The royal family has already lost the people's support completely.
01:04:14Disasters spread across the kingdom, but the court failed to help the citizens.
01:04:18Then taxes kept rising again and again.
01:04:19The people's anger has reached its limit.
01:04:21At this point, the royal guard exists in name alone.
01:04:27The orcs are probably still days away.
01:04:29There's no army and no general left in the capital.
01:04:31If Morlack attacks now, my throne, my life, my everything are gone.
01:04:37Urgent military report, your majesty.
01:04:40Speak!
01:04:41What happened?
01:04:42Morlack's hundred thousand man army has completely withdrawn.
01:04:46What?
01:04:47They retreated.
01:04:48Why would they suddenly pull back without reasons?
01:04:51I couldn't uncover the reason, your majesty.
01:04:53But I personally saw the entire army break camp and retreat over a hundred miles north.
01:05:01Your majesty.
01:05:04Isn't the answer obvious?
01:05:06My strategy worked perfectly.
01:05:09Just the threat of my preparations alone terrified Morrick so badly that he fled without even fighting.
01:05:18Then would you explain what strategy scared away a hundred thousand elite soldiers overnight?
01:05:24I secretly sent trusted envoys to the orc emperor long ago.
01:05:28The alliance has already been secured.
01:05:31Their elite reinforcements are on the way to the capital as we speak.
01:05:35Morlack must have learned about it and realizes he could never defeat our combined forces.
01:05:39So that's why Irene's brilliant strategy intimidated the rebels and forced back a hundred thousand enemy troops without sacrificing a
01:05:47single soldier from the capital.
01:05:49Irene, you are the kingdom's greatest killer.
01:05:52My most trusted minister.
01:05:54Your majesty, please reconsider.
01:05:56You cannot make this mistake.
01:05:58It's killing ourselves.
01:05:59They are long coveting our lands.
01:06:01Even the late king personally led the campaign against them and died on the battlefield.
01:06:04That blood feed hasn't been settled.
01:06:06How can you bow your head to our greatest enemy and invite them into our kingdom?
01:06:10You're condemning Kay to destruction with your own hands.
01:06:12Your majesty, think carefully.
01:06:14The orcs are cruel by nature.
01:06:16Once they cross our borders, every town in their path will be burnt and looted.
01:06:21Countless innocent civilians will be slaughtered.
01:06:23The people of Cade will be dragged straight into hell.
01:06:28Is the man on the wall, General Garrick?
01:06:30Open the gate immediately.
01:06:32Your king Moses ordered my army to enter the city, crush the rebels, and capture Morlack.
01:06:40This concerns the safety of the capital and the lives of every citizen inside.
01:06:47I need to verify the royal decree myself before opening the gates.
01:06:52How dare you!
01:06:54You're just a gate commander!
01:06:56And you dare disobey your king's orders?
01:06:59Delaying military business alone is a reason for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:07General!
01:07:07General!
01:07:08General!
01:07:08General!
01:07:09Urgent news from the front lines!
01:07:10Morlack's entire army has already withdrawn!
01:07:13The capital's no longer under threat.
01:07:15Commander Gromge.
01:07:17I've received confirmed military reports.
01:07:20The rebels already retreated north.
01:07:23Your mission here is over.
01:07:24Take your army and return to the old empire immediately!
01:07:27No remain near the capital!
01:07:32You think I marched all this way for nothing?
01:07:35Don't be ridiculous!
01:07:38Warriors attack the city!
01:07:40Burn this capper to the ground!
01:07:42Take whatever you want!
01:07:43Gold, food, treasures, women!
01:07:45Everything inside belongs to you!
01:07:47Show no mercy!
01:07:48All truth prepare for battle!
01:07:50Archers!
01:07:51Fire!
01:07:52Drop the stones!
01:07:54Pour the oil!
01:07:55No!
01:07:55Hold the gates!
01:08:00Dromge!
01:08:01You savage beast!
01:08:03Never trample the capital of Cadet!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want!
01:08:24Take!
01:08:25Enter the city!
01:08:26Loot everything!
01:08:28Burn everything!
01:08:29Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want!
01:08:32Tonight!
01:08:33We feast!
01:08:38Dunido!
01:08:40Du merci!
01:08:40Urgeant!
01:08:41Your majesty!
01:08:42Dromge has forcibly breached the main gate!
01:08:44General Garic who was defending the capital has fallen battle.
01:08:47He died fighting to the end!
01:08:51No no!
01:08:52That's impossible!
01:08:54Garak was personally appointed by the late king.
01:08:58He fought through his entire life on the battlefield and defended this kingdom for decades.
01:09:06How could he just die like that?
01:09:08It's true, your majesty. I saw it with my own eyes.
01:09:12General Garak fought Grom Shalom and never backed down until the final blow from the axe struck him down on
01:09:17the city wall.
01:09:18The orc army is advancing at full speed. Within half a day, they will reach the palace gate.
01:09:26It's the end. The capital is gone. Who can protect me? Who can save Cade? I don't want to die
01:09:34by those monsters.
01:09:35Your majesty, the capital has fallen into chaos. Our defenses are collapsing. Our soldiers are dead on the battlefield.
01:09:40And innocent pavilions are being dislaughtered. We're caused by Irene.
01:09:43She invited orc forces into our land. She dragged the entire kingdom into hell. She must be executed immediately.
01:09:48Only her death can crime the people's rage.
01:09:50Please execute Irene. Pay for the capital with her life.
01:09:58Your majesty, please believe me. I never betrayed the kingdom.
01:10:01I only wanted to use the foreign to stabilize the situation and protect you.
01:10:06I am loyal to you. I was misled. I never intended this outcome.
01:10:10Irene! You're nothing but a dirty liar.
01:10:13You deceived the king. You pushed out loyal medicines.
01:10:17You brought foreign beasts into our homeland to slaughter our people.
01:10:20Your crimes are unforgivable. I will end you myself.
01:10:25Your majesty, save me! Stop him! Don't kill me! I'm still useful!
01:10:34Please, your majesty, spare me. I can still help you. I can serve you with my everything.
01:10:42Irene, there's no way out anymore. The kingdom has reached its end. Only your death can calm everyone's rage.
01:10:50Only then will I have the face to beg Hera to return. Right now, she is the only one who
01:10:55can save Cade.
01:10:57Byron, give me the sword.
01:11:01Your majesty, what are you doing? No, please! Spare me! I'm loyal to you!
01:11:05I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom. I regret it. I regret ever listening to you.
01:11:10No! Please! I was wrong! I beg you!
01:11:22No! Please! I was wrong! I beg you!
01:11:30No! Please! I was wrong! I beg you!
01:11:44Herra, are you really going back to the battlefield? To fight orcs?
01:11:49The whole of Cade is drowning in war and suffering. For every innocent life caught in this chaos, I have
01:11:55no choice.
01:11:56Then come back alive. When 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.
01:12:19You witch! You betrayed me and the kingdom for glory, colluded with our enemies, and stained your hands with countless
01:12:24lives.
01:12:25You are the true traitor of Cade. Unforgivable for all eternity. I regret it. I truly regret it.
01:12:30I 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. Everything happening now
01:12:41is your own doing.
01:12:42You never deserve the throne. You are nothing but a weak and incompetent king.
01:12:48Hera, I was wrong. I was truly wrong.
01:12:52Your 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.
01:13:11Ha ha ha ha! There's nowhere left to run. Cade's over today.
01:13:18I will protect the king to my last blithe!
01:13:38Your majesty, run!
01:13:41Run!
01:13:45Pathetic old man.
01:13:50Thorne, I'm sorry! I should have listened to you!
01:13:54Your Majesty, don't say that. Run. Only you can save Cayde.
01:14:05In our old empire, we have a punishment for foreign beings. It's called Forsaken Prisoner.
01:14:14Bring the chains and the collar! Let him be humiliated by a slave!
01:14:23Kill me! Just kill me! I'd rather die than be humiliated like this! Please!
01:14:30Death? Not yet.
01:14:32Crawl! Show everyone what the king has become!
