01x09 - The Capital in Chaos and a Maiden's Oath

[bunniefuu]

Did you just say the

Etzat Market is under attack?!

Yes, sir.

The other four sl*ve

markets, as well.

The attackers seem

to be quite skilled.

After they made their way in,

the market has requested reinforcements.

Send additional men!

I refuse to let this

cost me even more!

Something must be done!

Sir.

Of all the wretched!

Most impressive, Sir Goemon!

Then perhaps I'll cut loose, as well!

Rock Fang!

Rock Fang

Sir Goemon, I believe your

ninjutsu and my magic

have a boosted, cumulative effect!

Unexpected.

There don't appear to be

any guards at the rear.

They've all gone straight

for Arc and Goemon.

Let's hurry!

Come!

Should I blow it away with magic?

No, it's all right.

Wow, that's really impressive.

Let's go.

We've got intruders coming

in through the front!

The royal army will be

coming from the castle soon!

Hold strong until then!

Lady Ponta?

You people

More intruders?!

Body to water, Liquid Wolf Fang!

So that's ninjutsu.

Nicely done, Chiyome.

There they are!

That's them!

Blazing embers, heed my call.

Consume all to ash!

You're quite impressive

yourself, Lady Ariane!

Come on!

Wh-Who are you folks?

I am Chiyome of the Jinshin Clan!

We've come to rescue you all.

Once we let you out,

please follow our instructions.

The Jinshin Clan?

Did she say the Jinshin Clan?!

Really?

They're here to save us?

This is great!

Please, get us out of here!

Yes!

Please, split up and free the others.

If you can fight, take weapons

from the fallen soldiers!

There they are!

Don't let the intruders or the sl*ves escape!

If you can't capture them,

make sure they die!

Chiyome, hurry and get them free!

You have my thanks!

Wow, I thought I was dead for a sec.

Sir Goemon!

Sir Goemon, are you all right?!

Muscle to metal, Arm Bracer.

Muscle to metal

Arm Bracer

No problems here.

It seems we've dealt with most of them.

Let's use this chance to free the captives.

We can rendezvous with Lady Chiyome.

Goemon! Sir Arc!

Lady Chiyome! Lady Ariane!

Everything went smoothly on this end.

And the beastpeople?

They're gathered in the hall.

You were able to free them all?

Everyone who was here.

That just leaves

the building in the back.

Reinforcements should be

arriving from the castle soon.

We must make haste!

Right!

I'll stay here. Go with Chiyome.

You would stay alone?

Take care of our people.

Sir Goemon

Indeed, consider it done!

Body to water, Liquid Wolf Fang!

We're saved

We can go home!

What is this smell?

The injured and the sick

couldn't be sold, so they

Forgive me

Lady Chiyome, we should

get everyone to safety.

Yes, please.

Muscle to metal: Arm Bracer.

Muscle to metal, Arm Bracer!

Muscle to metal

Arm Bracer

Get him!

That's everyone!

The reinforcements are already here?

Let's be quick.

That was the last group.

The other sl*ve markets seem

to have been liberated safely.

Arc, are you going?

Yes.

I leave these people in your care

while I put an end to this.

Damn it! What is with this beastperson?!

How is he not dead?!

Sir Goemon. You did well to hold out.

Sir Arc!

The others are free.

Another one's appeared from nowhere!

Doesn't matter! k*ll him, too!

Do you mind if I join you for the last round?

By all means.

Let us completely wipe this

disgusting institution away!

Rock Fang

Rock Fang!

Muscle to stone

Rock Spear Strike

Muscle to stone, Rock Spear Strike!

They're putting on quite the show

Will Sir Arc be all right?

As long as they're not fighting

a Dragon Lord, he should be.

Lady Ariane please.

Flame

I swear, I will become stronger

so that no one else will

ever suffer like you have.

Episode 9

The Capital in Chaos and a Maiden's Oath

What's become of Etzat?

Why haven't I received a report?!

There seems to be confusion

among the royal army.

Enough! I'll go and see for myself.

You needn't concern yourself, Prince Dakares.

What are you—

Cetrion why?

I appreciate your efforts, Cetrion.

Your praise humbles me,

Prince Sekt.

Your arrangements in this matter

have been without fail.

We had word of beastpeople having

infiltrated the castle town.

I thought whatever action they took

would make an ideal opportunity

Yes.

The timing couldn't have been better.

The Yuriarna situation is

unfolding as expected, as well.

Despite the loss of the wolves and

men to this mysterious knight

One of the men who escaped did so with

some of Princess Yuriarna's belongings.

Excellent work.

Let's announce that Yuriarna was k*lled

in a scheme arranged by Dakares.

Yes, sir.

It's such a shame, Dakares.

You were obedient to the Holy Revlon Empire

in the east, and this is your reward.

Now the throne of the Rhoden Kingdom is mine.

Sir Arc! Lady Ariane!

And the others?

Safe and on their way.

I see. That's a relief.

Looks like the mission's a success.

Yes

What's the matter, Sir Goemon?

Impressive!

My friend! The great hero!

You truly live up to the name of Goemon!

What splendid fighting!

There they go again

Magnificent!

They must have something

fundamental in common.

My friend!

We can't let them outshine us,

though, can we Chiyome?

Right.

I'm going to get stronger.

Much stronger, so that I can save many more.

Behold, Sir Goemon! The dawning

sun blesses our camaraderie!

My friend!

Allow me to once again offer

my gratitude for your help.

Don't worry about it.

Indeed, the help was offered freely.

But where will you go now?

We'll head to a hidden village deep within

in the Calcut Mountains.

I see

More importantly

I need to provide the

information I promised you.

The Grand Duchy of Limbult

The Grand Duchy of Limbult

We've got great prices!

Sister!

I'm so glad you're safe, Yuriarna!

It's such a relief that you're alive

I apologize for the belated arrival, Sister.

When I heard you had been slain by

Dakares, my heart nearly stopped.

Slain by Brother Dakares?

Sister, what do you mean?

There was apparently some trouble in Olav.

Dakares was behind it all,

and he was slain by General Cetrion.

Then Prince Dakares is dead?

Which means Brother Sekt is

now heir to the throne

But how does that imply Brother

Dakares was the one who attacked me?

When Dakares was k*lled,

he had the necklace you received from

Mother, the one that you always wear.

The same necklace that went missing

I was attacked, and then

Brother Dakares died?

Could Brother Sekt have arranged for it all?

I'm not even sure the attack

was Brother Dakares' idea, now.

All that really matters is that you're alive.

We should let Father know immediately.

No, Sister.

For a time, let's keep

my survival to ourselves.

I'm certain it will prove useful.

With his path to ascendancy cleared,

my cautious brother will be

in no hurry to take the throne.

This will give me the time

I need to carry out my duty.

I must speak with the elves.

Sister, I ask for your help.

For the sake of both human and elf races.

Have you informed them of our situation?

Yes, it ended up turning into a

bigger deal than I imagined,

so I thought that Danka should know.

Shall we be on our way, then?

This is the information I promised you.

The people listed on the trafficking contract

They took the enslaved elves

to the Holy Revlon Empire in the east.

The Holy Revlon Empire

The Holy Revlon Empire.

What kind of nation is it?

Since hearing the name,

Lady Ariane's occasionally had

a very serious look on her face.

And this has become an international trip

When all I wanted to do

is help out where I could.

Let's hurry, Arc.

We set out for the Holy Empire of Revlon!

What might be awaiting us in that land?

Holy Revlon Empire, Imperial Capital

I have news from the spies in Rhoden.

Prince Dakares has been

slain by Prince Sekt

Emperor Domitianus.

Emperor

Domitianus Revlon Valtiafelbe

Dakares is dead?

After I provided him with rings?

What has become of Yuriarna's

assassination, then?

The princess is dead.

That went as planned, then.

No, sir.

At the time of the operation,

the rings had been destroyed,

and the wolves ended up being useless.

It's believed the princess was

k*lled by a different assailant

Sekt, most likely.

k*lling Yuriarna so that he could

claim it was Dakares' doing.

It would seem so.

It seems the heir to the throne

of Rhoden might be a handful.

And what of Fumba?

His plan to bring the nation to

ruin is progressing smoothly.

I suppose I'll look forward

to seeing what he has planned.
