Master.

Alfonso.

At the very least, I'll help you make a grave.

No. Master's grave marker is this sword and armor he passed down to me.

From now on, I shall carry his memory and fight with it.

Just as you have with the sword inherited from your mother.

Did you know about me the whole time?!

Golden Knight, Garo.

No. The Knight of Light,

the legendary hero of Valiante who is spoken of since ancient times.

Everyone who lives upon these lands knows of you.

I'm nothing that great.

My only goal is to eliminate Mendoza and the Horrors!

That's right. That's all it is.

I see. Then our goals are the same.

I vow upon this sword to defeat Mendoza,

for the sake of my country, Valiante!

León, let us fight together!

Yeah!

You are the one who will bring...

GARO!

GARO!

GARO!

Oh warrior born in burning hellfire

You must bear darkness and hatred on your shoulders

The silent promises you've sworn have become heavy steel

Until the moment you cut off the root of darkness

Something hot chips away and sears though you in this life

If you want it, I'll give it to you

The mark of fire that rises forth

Don't turn back! Cut through!

Until you've broken through the darkness

Your golden fangs are fated by inherited blood

Your soul that has been swallowed by sadness and pain

The only light that will reach the heavens is GARO

You're really such a precarious boy.

I can't stand watching you.

Ema!

You look good.

You again!

Oh? Is that how you should address someone who saved your life?

You really s-saved me that time.

Say things like that while looking at the person's eyes, Boy!

Now, one more time.

You really saved me that time!

Good boy.

So? Why did you risk the danger and come back?

Doesn't look like it's because you wanted to see that naked man.

Alfonso.

León!

I got some things we need. I brought food, too.

Thank you, León! I'm glad you're safe.

I'm fine. It's just...

León, where is your father? Wasn't he with you?

That man doesn't deserve to be called a father!

But, he is technically my uncle...

Who's there?!

I'm something of a Makai Priest. My name is Ema Guzmán.

It is an honor to meet you, Prince.

Makai Priest?

Then you are an ally?!

I am very sorry! Please forgive my rudeness.

Yes, of course, Alfonso.

More importantly, I'd like to hear more on what you were just talking about.

That man, who only thinks of his lower half, is your uncle?

Stop, you adulterer!

Hold up just a minute!

This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!

I was just trying to help your wife with her stiff shoulders!

Then why the hell are you butt-naked?!

No, this is, uh...

Oh!

A witch is flying on a broom with her tits dangling out in a place like that!

What?!

Dammit! Where did he go?!

Whew, that was pretty dangerous!

Huh?

You shitty father!

Stop, León!

"Shitty father", you say? Could this man be your father?

Unfortunately so.

Who are you?

Yes. I am Alfonso,

a Makai Knight who has inherited the blood of Garo like León.

You inherited Garo's blood, you say?!

You're right! You look a little like Anna.

On top of that, you seem to have a sense of class that León doesn't have...

Hey!

Could it... Could it be that Anna had a child in secret?!

What about your dad? What kind of man was your dad?

Um...

No! You don't have to say anything!

Dad! What are you even talking about?!

I'm sorry.

If Anna gave birth to you, I have to be man enough to accept you.

What?!

Give me a little time. I want to be alone.

Who would have guessed that man would get so flustered!

But this is bad! We must clear the misunderstanding quickly!

Leave him alone.

What?!

It's good medicine for him.

It's what he gets for doing whatever he wanted until now.

He misunderstood because he doesn't trust Mom.

The more you love someone, the harder it is to trust them.

Even he has a cute side to him!

Anna, why didn't you say anything?

Was I not good enough?

The castle of Santa Bard is built on top of an old temple.

The eastern cliff still has an entrance into that temple.

The path through the temple connects within the castle.

It is a royal escape route that only a select few are aware of.

I'm sure Mendoza is one of those select few.

But l believe it will be easier than attacking head on. Just...

''Just''?

We don't know how many Horrors Mendoza has prepared.

We are severely lacking information.

Zirkel's Circle, a forbidden Madou tool that allows you to control Horrors.

I guess it's true he was exiled by the Council because he stole it.

It seems Prince Alfonso has defeated the Chimera of Orvien.

In other words, he has also become a Makai Knight.

No matter how many times I crush them, they keep popping back up.

They are like vile beasts, with only the instinct to procreate.

Still, to think that Rafael has finally died.

What wonderful news.

With this, everyone who was there has died.

Everyone who was there at that loathsome moment.

Why, Master?!

Why must I be excommunicated?!

The Madou tool l have created will give us limitless power!

You saw the results of the tests!

Silence, Mendoza!

How can you call that vile use of human blood, "tests"?!

You trampled over our ancient duty of being ones who protect!

That old way of thinking is worthless!

Why must we, who are stronger than humans,

bow beneath them and live only to protect them?!

We should be the ones who stand above them!

The people should be happy to bleed for us!

Mendoza, I pity you.

You do not even understand the sin you have committed.

Among humans, you would be executed for this.

However, we cannot commit such an act.

We shall brand you for your corruption instead!

Master! With my Madou tool, you can even obtain eternity!

There is no need for that.

Humans can already obtain eternity by leaving descendants.

This is idiocy!

Your tainted blood must never again cross with ours.

With this seal, you are now marked.

Your children, your children's children...

They will inherit it for all eternity.

Think of this as punishment for your sin!

Why... Why must I... Why?

Why?! Why have I received such humiliation?!

Mendoza, was it?

Your medicine has calmed the epidemic running through my city!

I thank you.

Yes, Master Fernando.

I hear you are a traveling monk. Why not stay with us a while?

I will give you a room within the castle!

I will gratefully accept.

Mendoza! Mendoza!

So that's where you were, Mendoza!

Your advice was right on target! This battle was a great victory for us!

Congratulations.

You are amazing!

How did you realize that the enemy's number of soldiers had dropped?

I released some Horrors their way.

What?

Nothing.

Well, it's fine. More importantly, I have prepared a reward for you!

Hey! Come in!

A wife!

Angelina is the oldest daughter of my esteemed friend, Count Gostilia!

This is my plot to keep you forever in this country!

S-Sir! You cannot be here!

Your tainted blood must never again cross with ours.

With this seal, you are marked.

Your children, your children's children...

They will inherit it for all eternity.

Darling?

Makai Knights. Makai Priests.

I will never allow your bloodlines to continue! I will crush you all!

Who is there?

You are the Queen's...

I am her personal maid, Octavia.

What are you doing?

I only believe in the demons who bring misfortune before my eyes,

not some god that brings us nothing.

Your coldness is so beautiful.

I believe you are one I should put my faith in.

Did you see them? The Horrors...

They are called Horrors?

You were betrayed by the god you believed in, huh?

Fine, you may serve me henceforth.

Yes!

My body and my life is yours!

Octavia.

Remember this. I will never throw you aside.

Unlike that arrogant god of yours.

But you are not allowed to lay your hands on me.

Bernardo, I'm sure the knights will attack with Alfonso.

Make sure to crush them this time, without holding back.

If there is an opponent worth my time.

Wait. Be careful where you choose to fight.

I will be sure to prepare an appropriate welcome as well.

Anna. Was our love not the real thing?

Maybe León is so gruff with me because he inherited Anna's feelings...

Hey! What the hell?!

How long are you planning on being depressed? Let's go.

León! You...

Where are we going?

To the castle of Santa Bard, of course!

I will lead the way, Uncle.

Alfonso, was it?

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry. I've made up my mind as a man.

If you are a son of Anna like León,

then that means you're my son as well.

Call me Dad from now on!

Huh?! Oh. No, um...

Dad!

Moron! Calm down!

Listen when others talk, already!

Huh?

Oh?! Is that so?

Anna had a little sister!

I see! That makes me your uncle!

Anna should have told me.

I can't believe she hid something like that from me!

Wait. That means I am the uncle of the next king of Valiante...

In short, I'm related to royalty now.

All right, you guys! Let's storm Bard Castle immediately!

If I'm a relative of the king of Valiante,

the maids of the castle are as good as mine!

A real night of women and booze! A real harem!

Looks like my old man reached the bottom first.

Let's hurry, as well.

Huh?! U-Um...

Here, use this.

Yes. Thanks.

Uncle, we will head up first.

Yeah. I got it. I'll be following you shortly.

Germán. What do you think about the boy?

Yeah, looks like a lot of things happened to him while he was away.

Are you that worried about León?

The marks on his body are very dangerous.

Oh? You can tell?

Don't underestimate me.

Those marks respond aggressively to the boy's defensive instincts.

They protect him, but they may also consume him.

His mother's love, perhaps?

The only thing I know is that it's something Anna left for León.

Hey! Dad! Hurry up!

Jeez!

Huh? What about you, Ema?

Unfortunately, this is as far as I go.

It looks like the thing I'm hunting isn't here.

Hunting?

A certain Horror.

I figured you had some story behind you.

I was right, then.

Sorry. I can't die in a place like this just yet.

In other words, this situation is that dangerous.

If I come back alive, have a drink with me.

Keep spouting lines like those...

You'll end up dying.

Oops! Well, cry for me if I die!

If the mood strikes me.

This is the entrance to the temple.

Hey, Alfonso.

Do you know where your mom is imprisoned?

Yes. I'm pretty sure she is in the prisoner's tower.

There is no other way to enter, except over that bridge.

Then we should head there first.

No, León. I did not come back to save my mother.

I returned to save Valiante.

My mother wishes for the same, even as she is imprisoned.

That much, I am sure of.

Don't worry for me.

But, thank you.

Hey, any change?

No. The same as usual. Real quiet.

Don't let your guard down. Prince Alfonso may attack.

Really?!

If the Queen is taken from us, we'll be quartered for sure!

Mendoza plans to use the Queen as a trump card against the Prince.

Shit. Why are we the ones stuck with guarding her right now?!

Alfonso.

I pray that you not be swayed by demons, for the sake of Valiante.

I pray!

What are these things hanging all over the place?

They definitely don't look like ancient structures.

Which means Mendoza has already taken control of this place.

This is the temple. It was also once known as the royal tomb.

I can't believe they were able to build a castle on top of this.

It's so creepy I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Do you hear something?

Wh-What is this place?!

Not to mention this smell! What has Mendoza been doing here?!

Nothing good, that's for sure.

Shit! For now, we should try to head up!

Yeah.

Horrors!

Uncle!

Dad!

Hurry!

Let's continue while we have the chance, Uncle!

No.

Looks like that's not how it's going to go.

Long time no see, Roberto.

Yeah. Hearing you say that name brings back a lot of memories.

And will you tell me your reason?

Well...

Everything was in order to fight with you!

What's the truth of end of the world?

While there's life, there's pleasure

While there's life, there's hope

The thing that interrupts the will to stand

Is illusion born from smoke

Listen to the bell of regret

Atone for our time lost

With the pain of eternity

and the weight of the burning mark

Survival is also fate

For the hopes inherited by blood

The reason left behind

I will implore the land

Oh the voice that echoes awakens my hesitation

Oh so that the path that has been engraved will not be repeated

What's the truth of ending?

Coming around, going around

What's the truth of avenging?

Toward the empty future

—NEXT EPISODE—

The promise on that day

The smiles on that day.

The days that will never return.
