01x26 - The Battle of the World Tree

[bunniefuu]

One hundred years ago,
King Kyle fought the Dark Lord Angmund.

Time passed, and the Holy Sword
sought a new master.

A brave warrior,
to carry the will of King Kyle...

When the red-stained night comes

I paint you on the sky

KING's RAID: Successors of the Will

The hidden truth

The sudden suffocation

You are so distant, fading

Do you feel it too?

Crossing blades

Cannot touch

The sadness that lies beyond

I just want to see you

I search for you

Now, Eclipse

I always want to be by your side

I send a wish to the sky

I believe in destiny

When the sun and moon meet

At that moment

I run to you

With all my heart

The Battle of

the World Tree

Clause! Everyone! Are you all right?!

Yeah!

Kasel!

The sword that the Dark Lord is holding--
that's the Holy Sword Aea!

That's the Holy Sword Aea...

You have come.

You're not the Dark Lord Angmund,
you're King Kyle!

Please wake up!

King Kyle...? What does that mean?!

Please recall the people
you tried to protect!

About my mother!

Selene!

We need the Holy Sword...!

If we work together,
we can create an opening!

Kasel! Jump in and grab the Holy Sword!

Is it just me or did he get stronger?!

Was the Holy Sword limiting his power...?

A sword...

Get the Holy Sword!

Is that the power of the Holy Sword?!

Kasel...

Demia!

Everyone...

Kasel...

Don't give up!

Fight!

Cleo!

Stay right there!

How's that...?

No...

I can't give up!

For all the people
who've lost their lives...

For all the people who've suffered
because of the Demons!

I won't let him destroy the things
King Kyle tried to protect with his life!

I will stop him!

A-Are you all right...?

M-More or less...

Kyle...

Kasel!

Stand back, Frey!

Get away!

I said get away!

Kasel, no, no...

I can't lose you!

You're the most precious to me!

F-Frey...

Illya...

Kyle...

I'm glad Lua granted me my wish...

My son.

You know who I am?

Yes. Even while I was trapped in darkness,
I could still hear your voice.

What do you mean?
Didn't Lua betray you back then?

No.

Back then, I...

I let go of the Holy Sword's power
on my own, to protect the Holy Sword.

Lua granted me that wish

and made my son the heir...

That's...

I'm sorry, Maria...

It was a long fight...

Father...!

I love you.

King Kyle... My father,
he has passed away, hasn't he?

Yes.

About Kyle, about Illya's pendant...

I didn't understand anything.

Hate took everything from me.

I can't even shed a tear
at a time like this.

Thank you for saving Kyle.

Miss Maria...

I only wish I could have delivered
my true feelings honestly, like you did.

It's over...!

You beat the Dark Lord!

Yeah.

You protected everyone, Kasel!

What?!

Wh-Wh-What are you doing?!

This is a victory pose.

How so? What?!

Jump in, Selene!

What?! T-T-To what?

There, there. Calm down.

You're always like that! "There, there,"
and, "Calm down," and such!

Illya's wish came true.

The Dark Lord was eliminated,

and with that,
Demonic activities slowed down.

After the battle at the World Tree,

there have been no reports
of damages due to Demonic attacks.

We should be able to live in peace,
at least for the foreseeable future.

The citizens of Orvelia
see Riheet as a hero.

Prejudice against the Dark Elves
has weakened,

and relations are starting to improve.

I think we can finally say
our kingdom is becoming peaceful.

That said, not everything is perfect...

Some nobles are not in favor
of the way things are going,

and the Dark Elves also have
some enmity towards us.

However, I plan to change this kingdom,

so that no tragic conflicts
ever happen again.

You make me proud, Scarlet.

Father...!

What is it?

Oh, how you've grown, Your Highness...

We the nobles must also change.
I will do everything in my power.

I'm counting on you.

Your Highness,
Riheet would like to meet with you.

Good, you came at just the right time.
I have good news.

A lot of people want to make you a noble.

I got everyone to sign off on giving you
the title of Honorary Noble.

I'd like you to stay and support the
Guardian Knights as one of its members.

I need some time.

Why...?

There are still many within the Dark Elves
who hate Illya and Orvelia.

I need to meet with them
and tell them the truth...

The truth about Illya, and that there are
some in Orvelia with good hearts.

Riheet...

I won't ever be able to forgive
everything Orvelia did. But...

Scarlet, I trust you.

You can change this kingdom.
I sincerely believe that.

I won't betray your trust.
That I swear to you.

There's so much work to do.
You're going to get busy, Your Highness!

Yes.

Kasel, you're finally a knight.

Congratulations! Your dream came true!

Yeah, I'm a fledgling no more!

Sheesh...

That's funny, coming from the hero
who beat the Dark Lord.

A hero...? I'm really not.

I was only able to beat the Dark Lord
because everyone helped.

If Flegg could see you now,
he'd be crying in joy.

Perhaps.

All right, let's throw a promotion party!

I'd love to, but I have to go immediately.

Go? Go where?

I don't know. But it seems like
the Holy Sword is sensing something.

The Holy Sword?

Yeah. I can tell...

Something terrible might be
happening somewhere.

I'll go on a trip to find out.

You can count on me
to keep an eye on Kasel.

We'll let you know as soon as we find out.

I understand. I'm counting on you, Frey.

Riheet.

I'm sorry I couldn't catch up with you.

I didn't get a chance
to properly thank you.

Thank you very much. The only reason
I'm here now is because you saved me!

There's no need to thank me.

You were saved by your allies, and Illya.

Ms. Illya...?

Illya created this pendant
to save King Kyle...

Take this with you,
along with the Holy Sword.

I understand.

This one wish

Connects you and me

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

A comfortable breeze passes over

A memory in a precious place

From the day I decided to walk with you

The promise that I hid in my heart

I want to feel that moment, just once

If I stretch my arm out

I should be able to reach
the tomorrow in my dream

This one wish

I gently engrave in my heart

The chain that connects the heart

Cannot ever be broken

The future which we should head to

Beckons us to come closer

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

Wait up!

Don't leave us behind!

You would have totally regretted
leaving us behind! Look at this!

Behold!

What's in there?

Dominix gave us a ton of money
for travel expenses!

Let's stay at a great inn
tonight and splurge!

Oh...

I will manage this.

Yes. That would be ideal.

Come on!

I was looking forward to delicious local
cuisines and skin-beautifying hot spas!

As I said before,
this isn't a sightseeing trip.

Ugh, here I am on babysitter duty again.

You're my bodyguard, not a babysitter!

Yeah, yeah.

Our journey continues.

No matter what kind of future awaits us...

Together with our trusted friends,

we go to protect everyone's smiles.
