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!
00:00:50Hera!
00:00:52Get the king out of here! I'll hold them off!
00:01:11The 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 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. The 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.
00:02:23Moses ascended the throne smoothly, while Hera took charge of the royal court as regent. Under her rule, the kingdom
00:02:29of 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!
00:02:46Those 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.
00:03:12My king. My 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!
00:03:49Crush 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?
00:04:22Come on!
00:04:24Come on!
00:04:31Come on!
00:04:32Come on!
00:04:34Dear God!
00:04:35You're gravely wounded!
00:04:36I'll get a healer right now!
00:04:37Just hang on!
00:04:40I'm fine.
00:04:42At least the enemy's gone.
00:04:47Hera's a monster.
00:04:49She nearly crushed the Orc Empire by herself.
00:04:51Of course!
00:04:52Now 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!
00:05:16Do you know your crime?
00:05:21Your Majesty.
00:05:23What guilt do I have?
00:05:27You failed in war.
00:05:29And 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.
00:05:38Our 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.
00:05:47That was a million beast horde.
00:05:49Even a godsworn has limits.
00:05:50He's right!
00:05:51Without Hera holding the border, Cade would have fallen already!
00:05:54Nonsense.
00:05:55She's the godsworn.
00:05:56Someone 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.
00:06:10For the soldiers.
00:06:11For the people.
00:06:12I nearly gave my life for this victory.
00:06:14Enough!
00:06:14Shut your mouth!
00:06:15As of today, you are stripped of your position as regent.
00:06:18Irene will take your place.
00:06:20She understands strategy and politics far better than you to guide the kingdom.
00:06:23Irene has never led an army.
00:06:25She knows nothing about war or governance.
00:06:27Handing her this kingdom is digging Cade's grain with your own hands.
00:06:30How dare you?
00:06:32You dare defy the king?
00:06:34Kneel!
00:06:38Your Majesty, please reconsider her.
00:06:40Hera slid blood for this kingdom!
00:06:42You can't treat her like this!
00:06:44A treasonous fool!
00:06:46You dare oppose the king's command?
00:06:47Guards!
00:06:48Drag him out and execute him immediately!
00:06:50I promised King Taylor I would give Moses one hundred chances.
00:06:55Now 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.
00:07:10In this life, I'll only ever love you.
00:07:12As long as I can stay by your side, I'd give up everything.
00:07:16I'll follow you, protect you, love you forever.
00:07:19Without you, this crown means nothing to me.
00:07:22You're my only light, my only love.
00:07:25Let 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.
00:07:42But 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.
00:07:50My wounds reopen every night.
00:07:52I coughed blood in silence.
00:07:54Yet he never noticed.
00:07:56Never cared.
00:07:58That coldness hurts more than any blade ever could.
00:08:08Commander, we fought through hell to save this kingdom.
00:08:11And this is how they repay you.
00:08:13Those snakes stole your power.
00:08:19Power is just dust.
00:08:21It 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.
00:08:39Commander, we don't care about power or glory.
00:08:42We just want to protect Cade.
00:08:44To protect the people under under god's blessing.
00:08:47Commander, the king's blind.
00:08:49And the court's full of vipers.
00:08:51A kingdom like this has already been abandoned by the gods.
00:08:54That's enough.
00:08:55Get 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.
00:09:08Never rebel.
00:09:09Commander, 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.
00:09:52It's time to honor the engagement the late king arranged.
00:09:55Marriage should be the king's decision.
00:09:58I wouldn't dare decide for him.
00:10:00The 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.
00:10:22You 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.
00:10:54I swear by the gods.
00:10:57I never touched her.
00:10:58I 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.
00:11:17Hera, I 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?
00:11:25Guards, drag her away and punish her!
00:11:31Traitor!
00:11:44Hera, that was incredible!
00:11:46Teach me!
00:11:48Come here, I'll show you.
00:11:50Calm your mind.
00:11:52Keep your arms steady.
00:11:53Let 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!
00:12:18She'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.
00:12:57Your crimes deserve death.
00:12:59From this day forward, all your titles are stripped.
00:13:01Your command over the armies is revoked.
00:13:04And the sacred crim given to you by the late king will be taken back immediately.
00:13:15As you command.
00:13:17One hundred chances.
00:13:19And now, the very last one is gone too.
00:13:28Gods, take your reign to be treated.
00:13:33Moses!
00:13:35That crest was bestowed by the late king in the god's name.
00:13:40It represents honor and faith.
00:13:42Taking 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.
00:14:21Only then can she become my loyal wife.
00:14:23Aren'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.
00:14:31And 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.
00:14:42Taking away her command is for her own good.
00:14:43She needs rest.
00:14:44You're grown now.
00:14:46Just remember to 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.
00:15:13The 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,
00:15:30just focus on healing and prepare for our wedding.
00:15:33Before I leave the palace,
00:15:35this is the final document I need your approval on.
00:15:41Wonderful news, your majesty!
00:15:43The Orc Empire has sent envoys!
00:15:44They want peace talks!
00:15:47Guards!
00:15:48Quickly, get Irene treated!
00:15:49Approved.
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, are 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.
00:16:53Hera, come home safe.
00:16:54I'll marry you with the grandest ceremony in the kingdom.
00:17:00Hera, do you plead guilty to your sin?
00:17:05Moses, 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.
00:17:32May 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.
00:17:44Why 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.
00:18:03Your 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?
00:18:13This 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.
00:18:21What's wrong?
00:18:22Where's Hera?
00:18:25Well...
00:18:26Go find her now!
00:18:38Stop!
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.
00:19:01What?
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 tech me, protect Cade.
00:19:07She swore before the gods.
00:19:08She would never leave me.
00:19:09Your majesty, I swear by the gods, but dare perceive you.
00:19:12Insolence!
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.
00:19:35I saved them especially for you.
00:19:37Wear them, like I'm always by your side, protecting me.
00:19:40I 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?
00:19:51Oh, over there.
00:19:52Half of them have already burned.
00:20:00Those were my gifts to her.
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.
00:20:19We'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.
00:20:36Guards!
00:20:37This man destroyed royal property, execute him immediately.
00:20:40Guards!
00:20:41This man destroyed royal property, execute him immediately.
00:20:44Mercy, 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.
00:20:59And 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.
00:21:06I 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 fiancé.
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.
00:21:25That'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?
00:21:45Cain, are you saying all of this is my fault?
00:21:47I would never dare.
00:21:49Enough!
00:21:49Get out!
00:21:50I 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!
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 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.
00:22:49That was not a request. It's an order. Do you dare refuse me?
00:22:54I, 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.
00:23:08Hera, I am the king of Cade. The ruler of this world. No one's allowed to defy me.
00:23:24Hera, is that you?
00:23:26You finally came back to me.
00:23:28My Hera.
00:23:28Hera, I knew you were hurt before.
00:23:33But why wouldn't you just listen to me?
00:23:36I wanted to tell you everything. On 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. I wasn't just myself.
00:23:50Couldn't you have understood me just a little more?
00:23:53But don't worry. I'll make it up to you from now on.
00:23:57Irene even taught me how to please a woman.
00:24:01I'll make you happy. I'll make all your pain disappear.
00:24:07Why is it you?
00:24:08Irene, where's my Hera?
00:24:14Your majesty, we located Hera. She's currently in the Essos Ridge region.
00:24:18Great. I'm leaving immediately. I'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 Cayde.
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.
00:25:21Time to die.
00:25:29Don't touch her!
00:25:39Don't touch her!
00:25:50Don't touch her!
00:25:54Don't touch her!
00:25:57Don't touch her!
00:25:58Don't touch her!
00:25:58Don't touch her!
00:25:58Don't touch her!
00:25:58Don't touch her!
00:26:00Don't touch her!
00:26:02Don't touch her!
00:26:06Don't touch her!
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, stay with me. You 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? Sneaking around with my own
00:26:49brother?
00:26:50Why be so silly? You're a prince. Why would you throw yourself in front of that blade for me? It's
00:26:56not worth...
00:26:57Lady Hera, you gave everything for Cade. For its people. It's my honor to save you.
00:27:03I dreamed of marrying you. Of ruling this kingdom together. And all this time you were with my brother?
00:27:09Don't think I can't see the truth. You ran from the wedding because you wanted to elope with Cain.
00:27:18Brother, you've got it wrong. I... I only followed because I was worried Hera might be in danger. We... we
00:27:25weren't running away together.
00:27:26You expect me to believe that?
00:27:28If your majesty has already decided what to believe, then there's nothing left to explain.
00:27:34Since you have nothing to say... Guards! Execute Hera, now!
00:27:44That's a royal command! Are you all defying your king now?
00:27:48Your... your majesty, Hera fought and bled for this kingdom. Earned countless honors. You... you cannot execute her.
00:27:55If none of you have the guts, I'll do.
00:27:58Your majesty, Hera sacrificed everything for this kingdom. How... how can you be so cruel to her?
00:28:05Everything I've done in this life, I can answer for before myself and before this land.
00:28:10Answer for yourself? Then what about our engagement?
00:28:13You abandoned me on our wedding day and humiliated the royal family before the entire kingdom. Did you ever think
00:28:18about me?
00:28:19Do you remember the document I handed you the last time I came to see you? You approved it yourself.
00:28:25The document? The document?
00:28:33Your majesty, I need your approval.
00:28:35The Orc Empire has sent envoys! They want peace talks!
00:28:38Ah!
00:28:40Approved. You may leave now.
00:28:43Someone!
00:28:44Bring me that document!
00:28:45Now!
00:28:51No!
00:28:52No!
00:28:53No, it's not true!
00:28:54This has to be fake!
00:28:57Read carefully.
00:28:58It's real.
00:29:01How... how 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, now!
00:29:09Your 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, I 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, to 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 that 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 a hundred chances!
00:29:47There's no way they're gone already!
00:29:48You 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, we are neither ruler and subject.
00:30:07Nor husband and wife.
00:30:15Now the 100 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, then 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, the kingdom will fall into chaos.
00:31:01She chose this herself I 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.
00:31:19Good.
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.
00:31:30The late King changed my life.
00:31:31He trusted me.
00:31:33Believed 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, Aaron, 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 and return home.
00:31:57The 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.
00:32:04Never serve another kingdom.
00:32:05Marshal Hera is unbelievably talented.
00:32:08What a waste to be chained down by-
00:32:09What's your tongue?
00:32:10Dare question royal affairs in front of me?
00:32:12Wanna die?
00:32:14And that's not enough.
00:32:15Swear 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.
00:32:24I, 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!
00:32:35You'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.
00:34:23Irene 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.
00:34:31Gromash 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.
00:34:43If 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!
00:34:56No, 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.
00:35:04Then we shall see.
00:35:06Guards!
00:35:07Escort Cain away and treat his injuries immediately.
00:35:10Yes, your majesty.
00:35:35Why are you here?
00:35:36The 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.
00:35:52Lady Hera!
00:35:53Please 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!
00:36:17The royal court has wronged its greatest protector.
00:36:21That's right!
00:36:22All gatherings must come to an end someday.
00:36:26Everyone, please go home.
00:36:28Don't make things harder for Hera.
00:36:34May your road ahead be safe, my lady.
00:36:37And may 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 prestige far above Hera's.
00:37:11Speak! What 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 people 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.
00:38:00Hera 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.
00:38:08You mustn't fall for her tricks.
00:38:11What a scheming woman.
00:38:13Even after leaving, she's still plotting against me.
00:38:17As you said, deliver my order at once.
00:38:21Raise the taxes.
00:38:24Your Majesty, as Minister of Agriculture I present three treasures.
00:38:28Superior wheat seeds, fertile soil fertilizer, and gilded farming sepples.
00:38:34May Cade enjoy endless harvests, overflowing granaries, and freedom from famine forever.
00:38:39Excellent. Truly 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.
00:38:52May Cade cavalry become invincible and all neighboring lands submit before us.
00:38:57Well done. That'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.
00:39:13May your Majesty's glory shake the world, win the sincere loyalty of all people, and secure your supreme royal authority
00:39:21forever.
00:39:23Long live King Moses. May Cade resign forever.
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. This 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. 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! You 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? The taxes are crushing the people until they can barely breathe.
00:40:35Citizens are displaced, suffering miserably everywhere. And you call this prosperous?
00:40:46The taxes are due! How dare you lay 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. The taxes are far too heavy, we truly can't afford to pay!
00:40:59You have no choice! This is the King's command! Anyone 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. What is wrong with that?
00:41:20Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned that taxes must never be raised. The people needed time to recover. You promised
00:41:29her that.
00:41:30Shut up! Hera 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 left to say.
00:41:41Insolence! Since you despise everything here so much, then get out! Go to the Far North and never back again!
00:41:47Your Majesty! Please don't! The Far North borders the Orc territories. If Prince Cain goes there, he will certainly die!
00:41:56How is that possible? Aren't Blackstone City and Frostwave City still standing between them?
00:42:01Those two cities have already... Already what?! Speak!
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. I made the decision to precede them in exchange for
00:42:17peace along the borders.
00:42:19They're only two worthless cities. Then that's it, not a great deal.
00:42:30This little beauty looks good! Take her with us!
00:42:36Let me go! Let me go!
00:42:41You beast! Let go of my daughter!
00:42:50With the King being this foolish, Cade will fall. Apologize to me now, and I'll let you stay in the
00:42:56Royal City. Spare you from suffering in the Far North.
00:43:00There's no need. I'll leave at once.
00:43:02You would rather die than remain by my side?!
00:43:05Yes. There is no hope left here. My heart has long since died. I'm leaving now.
00:43:15Report! A devastating Locust Plane has erupted in Gale Wind City. The crops have all been devoured, and countless civilians
00:43:21are starving to death.
00:43:29Get it to me! This is fucking...
00:43:36Your Majesty, Silvermean City's been hit by the worst flood in a hundred years. The dam collapsed. The farmlands are
00:43:43gone.
00:43:44your destroyed by Myrtle and Weiszew
00:43:45falan 75 00,000 people varietymembers
00:43:48Ghost Men 2018
00:43:48No! MERGE
00:43:58Colin! Didn't you swearThe Kingdom was thriving...with good harvests? peaceful people? No disasters?
00:44:05Now We've got locusts and floods, and you hid it from me?! How 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.
00:44:28I'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. 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 ceremonies, 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.
00:45:57Hera. 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. Hera, 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.
00:48:16And 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. The only thing I'm worried about is...
00:48:45What's that?
00:48:46Morluck 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. And once that happens, Cade will be facing enemies inside and outside the kingdom. There will be
00:48:57no saving it then.
00:48:57Moses 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 Morluck of the North is outside requesting an immediate audience!
00:49:10Morluck. Before Hera left, she repeatedly warned me to treat him with respect. He's fierce and hot-tempered. If pushed
00:49:16him too hard, he'll rebel.
00:49:18Pass down my order. Prepare the best wine and food. Welcome General Morak with the highest honors.
00:49:27Your Majesty, please don't! The treasury's already empty! Every coin matters right now!
00:49:33Morluck's nothing more than a surrendered general. He doesn't deserve the honors. Some ordinary food is more than enough. And
00:49:40he's obviously here to beg for tax relief for the people. But we can't lower taxes anymore. Leave this to
00:49:47me, Your Majesty. I'll put him in his place myself.
00:49:51But 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 Morak.
00:50:15See, Your Majesty? Was I right?
00:50:18Looks like you were. This Morluck may look intimidating, but in the end he's just a defeated general with nowhere
00:50:24else to go. Fine. Get up and speak.
00:50:29Thank you, Your Majesty. You'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?
00:51:56Who the hell do you think you are?
00:51:58Know your place, loser. The Royal family told you to guard the Northern Gate.
00:52:03So stay there and wag your tail. Don't come to the capital barking.
00:52:07You're nothing but a poor thing the Royal took in out of pity.
00:52:10We fed you, and you should have stayed grateful and obedient.
00:52:15Dare 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.
00:52:26A stray dog 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!
00:52:54You'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!
00:53:34Why 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.
00:53:53I 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!
00:54:09A 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!
00:54:19For the sake of all Cade'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
00:54:39I 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?
00:55:02Our scouts confirmed that Moravac openly turned against King Moses and Irene in the Royal Council Hall.
00:55:09The confrontation nearly exploded into bloodshred. God!
00:55:12Morlach's temper is terrifying. The openly challenging the Royal Family could have completely caused a chaos.
00:55:17Morlach entered the capital with a handful of trusted men.
00:55:20If Moses had executed him on the spot to stop him returning the North, this rebellion could still have been
00:55:25prevented.
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.
00:55:41You ungrateful traitor! The King spared your life out of mercy because of your past service.
00:55:46And this is how you repay him. The second you return North, you gather an army and openly rebel against
00:55:51the Crown.
00:55:52That's treason!
00:55:53So you're Irene's loser brother. Makes sense. As arrogant and useless as she is.
00:55:58Believe me, I could flatten this city 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
00:56:07are elite fighters.
00:56:09Even if all a hundred thousand of your men are here, you still won't touch these walls.
00:56:12Back 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.
00:56:28I will honor every single promise I made. To lower taxes, care for the soldiers, and bring peace to the
00:56:35North. I swear 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!
00:56:43I didn't raise this army for power. I'm fighting for Hera's honor. For justice for the suffering people of the
00:56:50North.
00:56:51North 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!
00:57:17Get a Pow!
00:57:21Karen! Get the catapult ready! Launch me onto the wall! Release it! Full power!
00:57:34Khairyn! 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 to betray the kingdom, but to restore Hera's honor. To make people of the
00:58:22north 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.
00:58:57You 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.
00:59:25After being stripped of everything and exiled, how could she possibly accept that?
00:59:29That's why she manipulated Morlock into storming the palace.
00:59:32It seems like I was the target, but in reality, she's humiliating the royal and attacking your authority,
00:59:38and shaking your throne step 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.
00:59:57We absolutely 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.
01:00:07How are we supposed to stop this war?
01:00:09Don't panic, Your Majesty. I've already prepared for this.
01:00:12My brother Fulton is guarding Stonehold City, the only path from the north to the capital.
01:00:17Its defenses are impenetrable, and the supplies are abundant.
01:00:20As long as Stonehold stands, Morrick will never reach the capital city.
01:00:24And my brother's a battle-hard in general.
01:00:26Morlock may be strong, but he's just a brute.
01:00:29There'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!
01:00:40Morack's army has completely captured Stonehold City!
01:00:44General Fulton had his neck crushed by Morack!
01:00:53No! That's impossible!
01:00:54My brothers fought in countless battles.
01:00:57Stonehold City was supposed to be imprezzable.
01:00:59How could it fall so fast?
01:01:01How could he die?
01:01:03Enough, Irene.
01:01:04All your grand lies have mislaid the court and ruined the kingdom's plans.
01:01:07Now Morlock's army has broken through the north and is marching straight for the capital.
01:01:12Tell me, at this point, is there even a way to turn this around?
01:01:19You... your majesty, please calm your anger.
01:01:23I... 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 Orkin Empire.
01:01:38Offer them whatever they want in exchange for their forces to crush this rebellion.
01:01:44Absolutely not.
01:01:45I will never agree to something this insane.
01:01:48Your majesty, remember my final warning.
01:01:51Never forget it.
01:01:54The Orcs 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.
01:02:04The Orcs are greedy wolves.
01:02:07Allying with them would be suicidal.
01:02:09It could destroy Cade.
01:02:12Your majesty, this is no time to hesitate.
01:02:15Mordek's army is launching straight for us. He wants your throne.
01:02:18The Orcs 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.
01:02:27Fine. 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 Orc 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.
01:02:57Your majesty, you'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.
01:03:08You've carried too much anger and injustice these past months.
01:03:11King's blind and Irene controls the court. I understand exactly what's going on.
01:03:16But we're warriors to protect the people.
01:03:18No 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.
01:03:26I'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, Morlach has completely taken Stonehold City.
01:03:50His rebel army could arrive at the capital any moment now.
01:03:53So does anyone here have a plan to save this kingdom?
01:03:57Amazing.
01:03:58You 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.
01:04:17Then 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 Morlach attacks now, my throne, my life, my everything are gone.
01:04:37Urgent military report, your majesty.
01:04:40Speak!
01:04:41What happened?
01:04:42Morlach'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?
01:05:03Isn'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.
01:05:35Morlach 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, my 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.
01:06:00Even 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.
01:06:27Is 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 Morlach.
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 enough reason for me to cut your head off right now!
01:07:06General!
01:07:07General!
01:07:08Urgent news from the front lines!
01:07:10Morlach's entire army has already withdrawn!
01:07:13The capital's no longer under threat.
01:07:15Commander Gromge, I've received confirmed military reports.
01:07:20The rebels already retreated north.
01:07:22Your mission here is over.
01:07:24Take your army and return to the old empire immediately.
01:07:28No remain near the capital.
01:07:32You think I marched all this way for nothing?
01:07:35Don't be ridiculous.
01:07:37Warriors attack the city!
01:07:39Burn this capper to the ground!
01:07:41Take whatever you want!
01:07:43Gold, food, treasures, women!
01:07:45Everything inside belongs to you!
01:07:47Show no mercy!
01:07:48All troops prepare for battle!
01:07:50Archers!
01:07:51Fire!
01:07:52Drop the stones!
01:07:54Pour the oil!
01:07:55Hold the gates!
01:08:00You savage beast!
01:08:03Never trample the capital of Kadei!
01:08:22Kill whoever you want!
01:08:24Take, enter the city!
01:08:26Loot everything!
01:08:27Burn everything!
01:08:29Kill whoever you want!
01:08:30Take whatever you want!
01:08:32Tonight, we feast!
01:08:40Urgent!
01:08:41Your Majesty, Gromge has forcibly breached the main gate.
01:08:44General Garrick, who was defending the capital, has fallen in battle.
01:08:47He died fighting to the end.
01:08:50No, no!
01:08:52That's impossible!
01:08:53Give up!
01:08:54Garrick was personally appointed by the late king.
01:08:58He fought through his entire life on the battlefield and defended this kingdom for decades!
01:09:05How could he just die like that?
01:09:08It's true, Your Majesty.
01:09:10I saw it with my own eyes.
01:09:12General Garrick fought Grom Shalom and never backed down until the final blow from the axe struck him down on
01:09:17the city wall.
01:09:17The orc army is advancing at full speed.
01:09:20Within half a day, they will reach the palace gates.
01:09:26It's the end.
01:09:27The capital is gone.
01:09:29Who can protect me?
01:09:31Who can save Cade?
01:09:32I don't want to die by those monsters.
01:09:34Your Majesty!
01:09:36The capital has fallen into chaos.
01:09:37Our defenses are collapsing.
01:09:38Our soldiers are dead on the battlefield.
01:09:40And innocent pavilions are being slaughtered.
01:09:42We're caused by Irene.
01:09:43She invited orc forces into our land.
01:09:45She dragged the entire kingdom into hell.
01:09:47She must be executed immediately.
01:09:48Only her death can climb the people's rage.
01:09:50Execute Irene!
01:09:52Pay for the capital with her life!
01:09:58Your Majesty, please believe me.
01:10:00I never betrayed the kingdom.
01:10:01I only wanted to use the foreign to stabilize the situation and protect you.
01:10:05I am loyal to you.
01:10:07I was misled.
01:10:08I never intended this outcome.
01:10:10Irene!
01:10:11You're nothing but a dirty liar.
01:10:13You deceived the king.
01:10:14You pushed out loyal medicines.
01:10:17You brought foreign beasts into our homeland to slaughter our people.
01:10:20Your crimes are unforgivable.
01:10:22I will end you myself.
01:10:25Your Majesty, save me!
01:10:27Stop him!
01:10:28Don't kill me!
01:10:29I'm still useful!
01:10:34Please.
01:10:35Your Majesty.
01:10:37Spare me.
01:10:38I can still help you.
01:10:40I can serve you with my everything.
01:10:42Irene, there's no way out anymore.
01:10:44The kingdom has reached its end.
01:10:47Only your death can calm everyone's rage.
01:10:50Only then will I have the face to beg Hera to return.
01:10:53Right now, she is the only one who can save Cade.
01:10:57Byron, give me the sword.
01:11:01Your Majesty, what are you doing?
01:11:03No, please.
01:11:03Spare me.
01:11:04I'm loyal to you.
01:11:05I will personally execute you who destroyed my kingdom.
01:11:08I regret it.
01:11:09I regret ever listening to you.
01:11:11No!
01:11:12Please!
01:11:13I was wrong!
01:11:15I beg you!
01:11:44Hira, are you really going back
01:11:46to the battlefield, to fight orcs?
01:11:48The whole of Cade is drowning in war and suffering.
01:11:51For every innocent life caught in this chaos,
01:11:54I have no choice.
01:11:56Then come back alive.
01:11:59When you do,
01:12:00I'll give you a big wedding.
01:12:03The orcs? No way.
01:12:05The palace is impenetrable.
01:12:07How could they reach us this fast?
01:12:09Of course I arranged everything.
01:12:11Sir, it's me who opened the hidden gate
01:12:13so that you could break in. You must protect me.
01:12:15You're right.
01:12:16Thanks to you, we could break into the palace this easily.
01:12:19You witch!
01:12:19You betrayed me and the kingdom for glory,
01:12:22colluded with our enemies,
01:12:23and stained your hands with countless lives.
01:12:24You are the true traitor of Cade,
01:12:26unforgivable for all eternity.
01:12:28I regret it. I truly regret it.
01:12:30I was blinded by your evil lies
01:12:32and exiled Hira on my own.
01:12:34You regret it? Too late.
01:12:37You were the one who killed the loyal
01:12:38and forced Hira out.
01:12:40Everything happening now is your own doing.
01:12:42You never deserve the throne.
01:12:44You are nothing but a weak and incompetent king.
01:12:48Hira, I was wrong.
01:12:50I was truly wrong.
01:12:51Your majesty,
01:12:52the situation is hopeless.
01:12:54I'll hold them off while you flee at once.
01:12:57I am the king of Cade.
01:13:00How can a king run away?
01:13:02I won't leave.
01:13:04Your majesty, please.
01:13:06Leave now or it's too late.
01:13:13There's nowhere left to run.
01:13:15Cade's over today.
01:13:18I will protect the king to my last blest.
01:13:38Your majesty, run!
01:13:45Pathetic old man.
01:13:50Thorn, I'm sorry!
01:13:52I should have listened to you!
01:13:54Your majesty, don't say that.
01:13:56Run.
01:13:57Only you can save Cade.
01:14:05In our old empire,
01:14:07we have a punishment for foreign kings.
01:14:10It's called Forsaken Prisoner.
01:14:15Bring the chains and the collar.
01:14:17Let him be humiliated
01:14:18by a slave.
01:14:23Kill me!
01:14:24Just kill me!
01:14:25I'd rather die than be humiliated like this.
01:14:28Please, please!
01:14:29Death?
01:14:30Not yet.
01:14:32Crawl.
01:14:33Show everyone what the king has become.
