00:01At three, I had no voice. House Malvern cast me as a magicless wretch along with my sick mother.
00:14Yet today, you call me back.
00:17Young master, we've arrived.
00:18A mute heir to a magic house. No wonder he was thrown away.
00:27As a thousand year house of magic, we have no place for a magicless wretch who can't cast a single
00:34spell.
00:36Get out!
00:37Last year, illness took mother from me.
00:40You and my cowardly father just stood by.
00:43Now you use bloodline to falsely reel me in.
00:47You think I'm still that dumb kid?
00:49Queen Victoria's banquet is in two days.
00:51The Malverns need full attendance to escape punishment.
00:54That's why I'm really here.
00:57After a seven-year absence, could you show me the way to the main hall?
01:01I'm lost.
01:01What are you waving for, little mute cull?
01:03I don't get mute signs.
01:13Insolent fool.
01:15I've killed countless before.
01:17I'm sorry, young master, that the main hall is straight ahead.
01:20I see a mute wretch, but my soul is the dark sorcerer dreaded by all demons, Mar-Logos.
01:32No!
01:33I see a minute.
01:38I'll be able to do that.
01:41No!
01:46No!
01:49No!
01:50No!
01:51No!
01:51No!
01:52No!
01:53No!
01:53No!
01:54No!
01:55No!
01:55No!
02:15The Abyssal Curse has found me.
02:18There is no escape.
02:28To regain my past prime.
02:31I started the Silence Curse at three.
02:34It left me mute, unable to cast ordinary spells.
02:38Aldrich, say, Grandpa.
02:41Congenital muteness.
02:45I planned to break Mother's dying wish and stay away, but since I'm here, I'll make you
02:51all kneel and repent at my mother's grave.
03:04Silent Freak!
03:05What gives you the nerve to keep us waiting?
03:07Come here and apologize!
03:11How have you been all these years?
03:14Grandpa, why bother?
03:15He is mute.
03:16Are we keeping a maid here just to read his hands?
03:20The Queen's Banquet nears.
03:22If our coldness shames this house, none of us will escape the consequences.
03:28I...
03:29Father, please, don't be mad.
03:32Child, I know the family failed you and your mother, but Grandpa will set things right now.
03:49You are a Malvin, and you shall never wander again.
03:53Grandpa, have you lost your senses?
03:55He's a wretch who can't even chant.
03:57Keeping him will shame us all.
03:59Enough!
04:00My decision is final.
04:02Aldric, thank your grandpa.
04:03Quickly!
04:11You threw me away like refuse.
04:14Now you call this mercy?
04:16What does he mean?
04:18He says you threw him away like refuse.
04:21Aldric, how could you say that?
04:23Refute.
04:24At least the wretch knows his place.
04:26I offered you a second chance for the sake of our bloodline.
04:29I saved you from wandering like a stray.
04:32House Malvern was never worthy of me.
04:34I returned to make you kneel at Mother's grave.
04:37What is all that?
04:40What is it?
04:42The young master said he's not settled in yet.
04:45That's all.
04:46Please, Master Aldric.
04:47I'm just trying to keep my job.
04:49Not so fast.
04:50There's something you must do first.
05:01The Queen's invitation is inside.
05:03It opens only with every family member's mark.
05:07So that's why you brought me back.
05:09Don't waste your breath, Grandpa.
05:11A mute cannot chant.
05:13No chant, no spell.
05:15He is useless.
05:18If he can't chant, I'll teach him signal casting.
05:21No chant needed.
05:22I will demonstrate only once.
05:25Watch carefully.
05:28Did you see that?
05:31Aldric, perhaps I could explain the magical flow itself.
05:34Good lord.
05:35Even infants grasp signal casting faster than him.
05:43Good boy.
05:50That little bastard does not deserve the Queen's banquet.
05:53Once he leaves his seal, kill him.
06:07It worked!
06:10No!
06:25I really know ancient forbidden magic.
06:31The Thornheart curse?
06:33Not even an archmast would dare act under that curse.
06:35One struggle and the body tears itself apart.
06:40Father!
06:41Aldric is only ten!
06:43That kind of attitude deserves punishment.
06:45He stays here to reflect on his actions.
06:51Once the silence curse is complete,
06:54every one of you shall beg for death.
06:58Huh?
06:59What's this?
07:01Ruth!
07:02Oh wow.
07:03So this is what your mother left you.
07:06Look at that!
07:07The mute's so desperate, he's nearly speaking.
07:12Alright.
07:14Here you go.
07:21Dying for a useless little freak like you?
07:24Your mother was truly pathetic.
07:26Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
07:32Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
07:35Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
07:37Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
07:38Actually can't dig a little while processing fury as they beat us!
07:39Aldric! Stop at once!
07:40Your body will be torn apart!
07:42Ait a train comes after all these flights,
07:45If you a little bit Sindis!
07:54Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
08:03Prepare!
08:04To die!
08:07To die!
08:17He broke through the Thornheart curse.
08:21Aldrich, was this your true power all along?
08:33The silence curse remains incomplete, forcing this much power out is still too taxing.
08:42So that power came from a high mage after all?
08:47Exactly, he's still nothing but a useless mutt freak.
08:55Lady Emery, House Malvern welcomes your arrival.
09:00So this is the mute failure you wished me to train?
09:03The Queen's invitation has been destroyed.
09:06I can take you to the banquet myself.
09:11Aldrich, I shall overlook your actions this once. Go to your room and rest.
09:16Young Master, follow me.
09:43Silence curse mutes me to forge my core.
09:47Two more days, I will get my power back.
10:07What kind of power is this?
10:20A supreme mage it is channeling nearby.
10:23If I continue, my mana will collapse.
10:28Master Merlin!
10:30Her Majesty suffered a mana backlash.
10:33She's coughing blood!
10:39What?
10:48A grand Archermeist.
10:50Still alive at this age.
10:52Still alive at this age.
10:55Heavens!
10:56I have seen such crushing power.
10:59A mana like this.
11:01From the forgotten Malvern estate.
11:04Whoever he is, he could swallow a city.
11:07How could a fallen Miner House deserve such a master?
11:11Before him I am nothing.
11:13I dare not seek him out.
11:17I'd give up the crown for a master like that.
11:24Just one more step to refining my core.
11:28Now my voice can reach their minds.
11:38So you're the mute reject.
11:40I'm Emery.
11:41Your grandfather hired me to teach you basic magic.
11:44Only Bloodline keeps him in this house.
11:46Who does he think he is?
12:04Seven Hardest Grimators.
12:06Pick one.
12:06Memorize it in a day.
12:08I'll only guide you three times.
12:09Children's primals.
12:11And she calls them difficult.
12:12I am well aware your mind is empty.
12:14And you have never known such high arts.
12:17But...
12:18Choose.
12:20Now.
12:27Magic most evil?
12:31What is this supposed to mean?
12:34Are you refusing to study any of them?
12:37All seven?
12:38Who do you think you are?
12:39A god of magic?
12:40These take decades to master.
12:42Not ours.
12:48Worthless wretch.
12:49Are you mocking me?
12:50I am a high mage of-
12:51Every spell in these seven books.
12:54I had mastered them.
12:55All by the age of three.
12:57Telepathy?
12:58Even an archmace would need decades.
13:00He is ten.
13:01How?
13:02Have you lost your voice as well?
13:05Fine.
13:05You have some talent.
13:06But mastering these at three?
13:08Absurd.
13:12Prove it.
13:14Use all that spellcraft you read in those ancient books.
13:18Jewel me.
13:23A stick.
13:24You mean to impress a high magus with that?
13:28Impossible!
13:38Wh-what is happening?
13:40Is the earth splitting apart?
13:50No earthquake.
13:51A mage is casting powerful spell.
13:53To the courtyard.
13:54Now!
13:55I'm right.
14:01Oh!
14:03I like this!
14:04Oh!
14:04I like this!
14:05Oh!
14:06I like this!
14:06I'm lost.
14:07I'm lost.
14:11I'm lost.
14:12Come back.
14:19Lots above.
14:21This power.
14:22It is incomprehensible.
14:24No!
14:26Do your worst.
14:28What the hell?
14:29Has the sky fallen?
14:34It's far beyond the Grynicors.
14:36But that's all.
14:37Isn't it?
14:38You little shit.
