00:00:15Ethan, this is the ice crystal you formed with your very first spell.
00:00:21Today is your birthday. Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:00:33Ethan, stay here while mother goes to buy you a sweet cake, alright?
00:00:37No, we need that money for father's medicine.
00:00:40But today is your birthday. Birthdays mean sweet cakes.
00:00:45Really? Thank you, mother.
00:00:53Excuse me, do you have anything a little cheaper?
00:00:56No.
00:00:57Please, sir. My son's birthday is today.
00:01:00He's always wanted a sweet cake. Even just a small piece.
00:01:03Out! Go buy your scraps at the end of the street.
00:01:09Ethan, you'll have sweet cakes for his birthday today. I promise.
00:01:16Get out of the way!
00:01:44Childs! Childs! Where are this boy's parents?
00:01:50This is... formed from ice magic.
00:01:55He carries a talent for ice magic. A skill that hasn't appeared in 300 years.
00:02:07Ethan, Ethan! I got you your cake!
00:02:10Ethan! Ethan!
00:02:16Have you seen Ethan? Have you seen Ethan?
00:02:21Ethan...
00:02:22My son.
00:02:34Doctor, the boy.
00:02:35The injuries are severe.
00:02:37You'll need high-level healing magic.
00:02:39Head to the main city at once.
00:02:40Did you hear me?
00:02:42Open the portal, now!
00:02:50Forgive me, child.
00:02:52The kingdom needs you more than they do.
00:02:59Ethan, my soul.
00:03:01No!
00:03:10Desperate joy.
00:03:32And here, perhaps someone here will have seen Ethan.
00:03:50Ethan, father will find you.
00:03:54I swear it.
00:04:22Ethan, father will find you.
00:04:52Ethan, father will find you.
00:05:00Ethan, you have become the greatest mage in the kingdom.
00:05:03From this day forward, you are the new grand commander of the legion.
00:05:07Father, the legion is in good hands.
00:05:09Please, go and rest.
00:05:14This is the construction plan for the Frost Village training camp.
00:05:17Go and oversee the site yourself.
00:05:22But I worry about you.
00:05:24Go.
00:05:25Frost Village is your home.
00:05:27This once hung around your neck.
00:05:29Forgive me, child.
00:05:30All these years I kept you so you could serve the kingdom.
00:05:33Selfishly, I took from your family.
00:05:35Go now.
00:05:36Your parents must still be waiting for you.
00:05:40Today is your birthday.
00:05:42Father and I had it made into a pendant just for you.
00:05:45Mother.
00:05:55Ethan, where are you?
00:05:58I miss you so much.
00:05:59Lucy, wonderful news.
00:06:02The most wonderful news.
00:06:05Victor, is it Ethan?
00:06:07Do you have news of Ethan?
00:06:12Ethan?
00:06:13Why would I bring up that useless boy?
00:06:15The Royal Magic Legion is building a new training camp in the Northern Territory.
00:06:20All of Frost Village is being cleared, including that broken shack of yours.
00:06:25My son, Marcus, bargained for you.
00:06:28Fifty gold coin in settlement.
00:06:31They're tearing down our house?
00:06:33That's right.
00:06:38No, we can't.
00:06:39If our house is gone, Ethan will have nowhere to come home to.
00:06:44I have to go back and protect it.
00:06:54Welcome, Commander.
00:06:56Commander, the clearance work in the Northern Territory is nearly complete.
00:07:00There's one household that refuses to sign the eviction notice.
00:07:02Shall we force the matter?
00:07:05The Legion does not do forced evictions.
00:07:07I'll speak to them myself.
00:07:11Yes, sir.
00:07:24Have you ever met Ethan?
00:07:36The Legion does not do forced evictions.
00:07:37What are you doing?
00:07:38The new Legion commander is here.
00:07:40Put that thing away before you get me killed.
00:07:42Marcus, please.
00:07:44Your commander has surely met many people.
00:07:47Perhaps he's seen my Ethan.
00:07:49Let me just go and ask.
00:07:57Wake up!
00:07:58Your son is dead.
00:08:00Get out of my sight.
00:08:02Ethan isn't dead.
00:08:03He's not.
00:08:04Out of the way!
00:08:18Strange.
00:08:19The boy in this portrait looks just like I did as a child.
00:08:33Sam, my brother in arms.
00:08:35Let me handle this one alone.
00:08:36Commander Aldrich sent me to assist you.
00:08:38He believes Lord Garrett, Governor of the Northern Territory, is trouble.
00:08:43Then find out where this plan came from.
00:08:45I'll arrange it at once.
00:08:46Wait here for my news.
00:08:48I'm going to Frost Village myself.
00:08:49Contact me the moment you have something.
00:08:51Understood.
00:08:52Portals won't do for the road ahead.
00:08:53Find me a carriage.
00:09:23Mom!
00:09:24Mom!
00:09:25Father, mother, are you here?
00:09:29It's been 20 years.
00:09:30Have you been alright?
00:09:32Ethan, today is your 25th birthday.
00:09:37Where are you?
00:09:38I miss you so much.
00:09:43Thomas, this time, did you find anything?
00:09:47Nothing yet.
00:09:48But Ethan turns 25 today.
00:09:50Perhaps once the birthday passes, he'll find his own way home.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Maybe he's married by now.
00:09:58Maybe we're already grandparents.
00:10:01If I can't find him in this kingdom, I'll go to the next.
00:10:04If not the next, until I search the whole world.
00:10:07Ethan is coming back.
00:10:09He will.
00:10:11Now, no more tears.
00:10:13Victor is coming today.
00:10:15They haven't visited in years.
00:10:17Why come today of all days on Ethan's birthday?
00:10:19Perhaps they miss him too.
00:10:35I have a pony.
00:10:39I'm a cavalry soldier.
00:10:41Ha!
00:10:42Ha!
00:10:52Ethan, this is your birthday present this year.
00:11:06Commander, your disguise, as requested.
00:11:10Good.
00:11:11Exactly what I need to stay low.
00:11:14Where is the household that refused to sign the eviction notice?
00:11:17Commander, a mid-ranking officer in the Northern Division
00:11:20claims to be their relative.
00:11:21He has volunteered to speak with them again.
00:11:25Fine.
00:11:26Let him try.
00:11:27I'll walk around.
00:11:28Notify me when there's news.
00:11:29Yes, sir.
00:11:32Garrett cannot be trusted.
00:11:33I need to see for myself.
00:11:43Mama!
00:11:45Mama!
00:11:48This place...
00:11:49It feels so familiar.
00:11:51I've been here before.
00:11:59Victor, welcome.
00:12:01Come in.
00:12:01Enough pleasanties.
00:12:03My son is here to discuss the demolition.
00:12:06Sign this.
00:12:08Fifty gold coins, up front.
00:12:10No.
00:12:11This is Ethan's home.
00:12:13If he comes back and there's nothing here, how will he find us?
00:12:16That's right.
00:12:17We stay and wait for our son.
00:12:21Fifty gold coins and you still won't sign?
00:12:23Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:26I don't want money.
00:12:28I want my son.
00:12:30Don't push your luck!
00:12:31No, Steve!
00:12:32An ice crystal crest formed of magic?
00:12:37Where did you get this?
00:12:38Did you steal it?
00:12:39No!
00:12:39You can't take that.
00:12:40It's how I'll find my Ethan.
00:12:41Want the crest?
00:12:42Kneel and beg.
00:12:43Then maybe I'll consider it.
00:12:44You go too far!
00:12:48Thomas!
00:12:51Believe me, I'll smash it right now!
00:13:05That crest is my only hope of finding Ethan.
00:13:08Please!
00:13:09Please!
00:13:11Look at her!
00:13:12She's actually kneeling for some boy who may be dead!
00:13:18Give it back.
00:13:21I'll give it back.
00:13:22Sign first.
00:13:27Come on!
00:13:31Could this be?
00:13:32Will I find my parents inside?
00:13:41No!
00:13:42I will not give up our home!
00:13:45Then, I smash it.
00:13:47Stop!
00:13:48The crest is the only way Ethan will know me.
00:13:51If I lose it, I'll never find my son again.
00:13:54All right.
00:13:55I'll sign.
00:13:56Then crawl over here to do it.
00:14:03Good heavens!
00:14:05All that for a pathetic brat!
00:14:08What can she do?
00:14:09It's her only chance at finding that wretch.
00:14:14Now, give it back to me.
00:14:17Want it?
00:14:18Crawl over here.
00:14:19Crawl over and beg.
00:14:30Crawl over and beg.
00:14:31Please, give it back.

00:29:24Ha!
00:29:25Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
00:29:27Ethan!
00:29:29Ethan!
00:29:37Where is he?
00:29:38Tall handsome dressed in rough cloth and a leather apron
00:29:40Where did he go?
00:29:41Your men took him
00:29:43They said they were taking him to the wasteland for execution
00:29:45Please save my son
00:29:49Execution?
00:29:52Execution?
00:29:57Thomas, what do we do?
00:29:58Don't panic
00:29:59Remember?
00:30:00Ethan was betrothed as a child
00:30:03You mean Isabella's family?
00:30:05They were as poor as us back then
00:30:06But they've grown rich
00:30:07Frost Village wealthiest family
00:30:09They cut ties with us years ago
00:30:11They're our last hope
00:30:13Perhaps they will save Ethan for old time's sake
00:30:30Choose quite the place to die
00:30:32Any last words?
00:30:38Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haul
00:30:40Ethan kneel nicely and I might make it quick
00:30:43And those 50 gold coins will be ours. Small comfort for what you did to my darling, but it'll do.
00:30:51My love, once we have that money, I'll buy you the most beautiful dresses. New shoes for my parents, too.
00:31:01I warned you. Cross the Legion, and you pay a price you cannot afford.
00:31:05What right do you have to speak for the Legion?
00:31:11Ethan, still boasting with death at your door?
00:31:18No. Death is at yours.
00:31:32Is it? You're falling for your own bluff!
00:31:37This fool actually thinks he's the commander!
00:31:40The commander? Have you ever even seen the commander? Only someone of Lord Garrett's rank would even qualify.
00:31:47Your rank is too low. You're not worthy.
00:31:50You vile creature!
00:31:54Scared now? Beg me and maybe I'll let you off.
00:31:57Is this all you can muster? You truly think this is enough?
00:32:01Gutter trash! There you go again with the big talk! Make him hurt!
00:32:09These soldiers are legion elite. Any one of them could crush an ant like you.
00:32:18Rise!
00:32:23See that? Scared! Too late!
00:32:28Is that all you've got? Against you? More than enough!
00:32:32This level? I could put it out with a flick of my fingers.
00:32:35You arrogant wretch! I'll grind you to ash! Combine!
00:32:40You're doomed.
00:32:41You're doomed!
00:32:48How is this possible?
00:32:53This... This can't be!
00:32:55I can't move! Let go!
00:32:58Help!
00:33:00Stand down!
00:33:02All of you, stand down!
00:33:08Commander!
00:33:10Commander!
00:33:11Thank goodness you're here!
00:33:13Kill this madman!
00:33:15What is going on here?
00:33:17Commander!
00:33:18This lowborn wretch used dark magic and killed all my soldiers!
00:33:21Now he wants to kill me!
00:33:24Striking Sienna is the same as striking you, sir!
00:33:28This is a declaration of war!
00:33:30Lord Garrett is here.
00:33:32You're doomed.
00:33:36You're doomed.
00:33:45Sir, have you struck the wrong person?
00:33:48That one's over there!
00:33:50Silence!
00:33:52And you!
00:33:57You lawless animals!
00:34:01He's just a penniless blacksmith, Commander!
00:34:11Commander, your subordinate Garrett failed to discipline his men.
00:34:14They offended the Commander.
00:34:16I await your punishment.
00:34:18We await your punishment, Commander!
00:34:20Commander?
00:34:26Sir, look at how he's dressed!
00:34:28How could he possibly be the commander?
00:34:30Commander Marcus, if I can bear witness.
00:34:32He's just the son of a poor relative of mine.
00:34:34They just found him today.
00:34:36It's true.
00:34:37Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:34:39Just look.
00:34:39How could a penniless blacksmith be the commander?
00:34:47You must be mistaken.
00:34:48Open your eyes!
00:34:49This is the youngest commander in the Empire's history!
00:34:52The new...
00:34:54A new commander?
00:34:55This can't be!
00:35:00Effective immediately, you are stripped of all military rank.
00:35:04You are demoted to the lowest common class.
00:35:08No!
00:35:09Commander Garrett, I was wrong!
00:35:15He's the commander.
00:35:17Does that mean Thomas' family is about to strike it rich?
00:35:21Commander, it was all Marcus who deceived me.
00:35:24Tonight, anything you want.
00:35:26If you let me go, tonight.
00:35:28No, every night from now on, I'm yours.
00:35:31You can do anything you'd like to me.
00:35:33You terrible woman!
00:35:34What do you think you're doing?
00:35:35Ah, this is your fault!
00:35:37If you weren't such a useless rest, I'd never have crossed the commander!
00:35:41Take them away.
00:35:53Commander, Victor and Marcus' family are in custody.
00:35:56Also, a contact reports your parents just left home
00:35:59and went to the estate of Isabella, Frost Village's wealthiest family.
00:36:03So I have a betrothed, do I?
00:36:05Yes, commander, arranged when you were young.
00:36:07Make it happen.
00:36:09I have a more important task for you.
00:36:12Announce throughout the Northern Territory that three days from now
00:36:15I will hold a grand ceremony in the city.
00:36:17I will declare the identity of my birth parents publicly.
00:36:20No one will dare trouble them again.
00:36:23Understood.
00:36:23I'll see to it at once.
00:36:36Move along.
00:36:37This is not a place for beggars.
00:36:41My lord.
00:36:43My son holds a betrothal contract with Miss Isabella.
00:36:48The poorest person Miss Isabella's ever seen is her own stable hand.
00:36:52You two, rolling in the mud, dare speak of a betrothal?
00:36:55This is all our savings.
00:36:58Please, I beg you.
00:37:07Fine.
00:37:08Wait there.
00:37:14My lord.
00:37:16Any news yet?
00:37:19Why are you still here?
00:37:21Move on or I'll have you arrested.
00:37:23You took our money.
00:37:24That was everything we had.
00:37:27How could you deceive us like this?
00:37:30Savings.
00:37:31How much could beggars like you even have?
00:37:37Miss Isabella!
00:37:41Something stinks.
00:37:43Did someone leave rubbish out here?
00:37:46It's me.
00:37:48I'm Ethan's mother.
00:37:52So you're the two spreading rumors that I'm your son's betrothed?
00:38:01How could you hit her?
00:38:05Exactly what vermin like you deserve.
00:38:07You saw our family prosper and came crawling.
00:38:13That's not why we're here.
00:38:18So this is Frost Village' wealthiest estate.
00:38:21Rather modest, honestly.
00:38:24Still denying it?
00:38:26Filth like you, I've seen plenty.
00:38:28You want money?
00:38:29Just admit it.
00:38:40We don't want money.
00:38:42Do you remember the betrothal with our son?
00:38:46You two shameless wretches dare bring that up?
00:38:50You've been spreading that lie all over the village!
00:38:53No, we haven't.
00:38:54My son.
00:38:58Your son?
00:39:00Two old chromes who wallow in the mud.
00:39:03Your son must be worthless to leave you destitute.
00:39:07Know your place and get out.
00:39:11No, no, we don't want anything.
00:39:13You're still here.
00:39:16Go on!
00:39:19No!
00:39:35And who are you?
00:39:36Child, you're really back.
00:39:38They didn't hurt you, did they?
00:39:40I'm fine, father.
00:39:40Mother.
00:39:41They didn't dare.
00:39:42You're home.
00:39:43That's all that matters.
00:39:46Oh, and who might this is?
00:39:47Another pewter by the look of it.
00:39:49You dare stand at the gate of my estate.
00:39:51That is enough, Isabella.
00:39:54Don't think being a woman will protect you from me.
00:39:56What are you playing at?
00:39:58Vermin from the gutter shouldn't stoil the air with their words.
00:40:01Isabella, watch what you say.
00:40:07Apologize.
00:40:08Now.
00:40:10Apologize?
00:40:11To you?
00:40:12Ethan, you cannot bear the consequences of my apology.
00:40:15In this town, one word from me and you disappear.
00:40:17Isabella, wonderful news.
00:40:19The most wonderful news.
00:40:21The Legion just issued an order.
00:40:2330 ships of premium spices and exclusive Mediterranean salt trading rights,
00:40:26all sent to your family.
00:40:28You're about to be the richest family in the region.
00:40:30What really happened?
00:40:32Is it true?
00:40:33Absolutely.
00:40:34My father is the Northern Territory governor, after all.
00:40:37So that's why these two old retchels turned up today.
00:40:40They heard word our family was about to strike it rich.
00:40:44Is that so?
00:40:46Parasites sniffing out the scent.
00:40:48They dare set their sights on some of the Legion favors.
00:40:51I'll discipline these bastards the Legion way!
00:41:01Lay a hand on me, and your father will lose his post.
00:41:05A blacksmith, all muscle and no sense.
00:41:08His lowborn peasant is far too brazen.
00:41:10His father is the Northern Territory governor.
00:41:12I'm telling my father!
00:41:13You're finished!
00:41:15No, it was all my fault.
00:41:19Mother, it's all right.
00:41:20Call him.
00:41:21Let's see what he does.
00:41:24Oh, a filthy commoner wants to see my father.
00:41:27Someone of my father's stature, and you think you can just summon him?
00:41:30A filthy cockroach who doesn't know his place.
00:41:35You two are the parasites.
00:41:37Living off your father's names.
00:41:39So what?
00:41:40Even without magic, I'm a senior Legion commander.
00:41:43Can you say the same?
00:41:44Only those with magical talent may serve in the Legion.
00:41:47That is the law.
00:41:48You had quite some nerve.
00:41:53The law?
00:41:55My father is the law in the Northern Territory.
00:41:58A governor this arrogant.
00:42:02My father is more than a governor.
00:42:04Do you have any idea how much the new commander values Lord Garret?
00:42:08Values him?
00:42:09News to me.
00:42:10The new commander arrives in the Northern Territory in three days.
00:42:13That alone is the highest honor for my father.
00:42:15Enough. Stop wasting words on this cockroach.
00:42:20You said really true.
00:42:21My father's word is never wrong.
00:42:23Three days from now, the new commander holds a public ceremony in the Central Square.
00:42:26I need to get a new gown ready at once.
00:42:31Three days from now, I'll have a gift for you too.
00:42:35One you'll never forget.
00:42:54Garrett has planted men in the honor guard.
00:42:56They may make a move at tomorrow's ceremony.
00:42:58He can't beat me.
00:42:59Everything proceeds as planned.
00:43:01Understood.
00:43:03Sam, I need to ask a favor.
00:43:05As brothers.
00:43:07Name it.
00:43:11Take my parents far from the Northern Territory.
00:43:14As far as possible.
00:43:15I don't want them caught in the middle.
00:43:18Done.
00:43:18Thank you, Sam.
00:43:20You know, I've never thought of you as a subordinate.
00:43:25You are the brother I trust most.
00:43:28I'll head out now.
00:43:40Coming here was too dangerous.
00:43:42Don't worry.
00:43:44He'll never expect his sworn brother to be the one plotting his downfall.
00:43:49You have his trust.
00:43:52Trust?
00:43:53To him, I'm nothing but a convenient tool.
00:43:56Good.
00:43:57Hold on to that hatred.
00:44:03Tomorrow, Ethan loses the thing he's most proud of.
00:44:17Once I win the commander's favor, a dukety is practically mine.
00:44:23Once I've captivated the commander, I'll have a man with magic.
00:44:27Unlike this useless, dead weight.
00:44:30The commander is here!
00:44:49Ethan, why didn't you tell me you were the commander?
00:44:52That makes me the commander's wife.
00:44:54We do have a betrothal after all.
00:44:57Isabella!
00:44:57What are you doing, you shameless horrid?
00:45:01Get back here!
00:45:02You have no shame.
00:45:05Yesterday you humiliated me and my parents, called us worthless filth.
00:45:08Now you want to be my betrothed?
00:45:10It was all my fault.
00:45:13I didn't know you were the commander.
00:45:15Ethan, please give me a chance to make it right.
00:45:18Take her away.
00:45:20And revolt the Thorn family's salt trading rights in the Mediterranean.
00:45:23No!
00:45:25My family is already in debt.
00:45:27Without that contract, we'll be ruined!
00:45:29This man holds no magical talent, yet infiltrated the Legion and took a post.
00:45:36Take him to prison immediately.
00:45:38Commander!
00:45:39Fitz is still young.
00:45:41Allow me to take him home and discipline him myself.
00:45:44You would defy a direct order.
00:45:46I advise you to think carefully.
00:45:48This is the Northern Territory.
00:45:49I call the shots.
00:45:51Move against my son and you'll see how ruthless I can be.
00:45:58What are you going to do?
00:46:00I have men positioned in all four directions.
00:46:03One signal from me and they will destroy the barrier.
00:46:07When the beasts flood the city, every man, woman and child will die.
00:46:16You're insane!
00:46:33You...
00:46:38Let me go!
00:46:39Where are my parents?
00:46:41What have you done with them?
00:46:43What have you done with them?
00:46:59Good luck!
00:47:00And leave you a broken man.
00:47:02Sam.
00:47:03I always thought of you as the brother.
00:47:06I trust with my life.
00:47:08Why?
00:47:09You hypocrite!
