One, two, three, four.

One, two, one.

One, two, three, four.

I-I really can't believe it.

The militia actually looks half-decent.

Iron Axe is p-pretty capable.

Brian.

Hm?

I-I think... you should
j-join the militia.

Wh-What did you say?

Y-You're very capable.

Y-Your swordsmanship and
horsemanship are excellent.

I believe if you join the militia,

you wouldn't be worse than Iron Axe.

I-I believe, with your abilities,

y-you'll definitely
win the Prince's favor.

H-Haven't you always wanted
to become a knight?

I think this is an o-opportunity.

His Highness the Fourth Prince seems like

someone worth putting your trust in.

Then... Then let's both join the militia,

and then become His Highness's
knights together.

I-I can't do it.

I'm fine as I am now.

It's good enough to protect
this place with you.

Come on, let's go on patrol.

O-Or you go first.

I'll train for a few more days.

Have some confidence.

Why aren't you guys sleeping?

What's going on?

Captain, we've got something to discuss.

I have a good job to offer you.

How would you like to be knighted?

K-Knights?

You know my uncle, right?

He's one of the Duke's trusted men.

He gave me this job personally.

He says the Fourth Prince
has disrespected the Duke.

The Duke is very unhappy about it.

He wants the Fourth Prince to realize
who truly rules the Western Region.

Are you p-planning an assassination?

How could we?

He's still a prince, after all.

If we killed him, the Duke
would also be implicated.

I told you, this is a good job.

What do you think is the most important
thing for the Fourth Prince right now?

It's food.

Without food, he'll have no choice
but to return to the Stronghold.

You mean—

The Duke has promised that
if we burn the food supplies,

he'll knight us and grant us the
lands east of the Stronghold.

This is a great opportunity, Captain.

What do you think?

N-No way! His Highness said

this year's Months of Demons
might last four months.

If you burn the food,

what will everyone eat?

H-Have you forgotten what
happened two years ago?

Who cares?

We're not from Border Town.

Once the food stores are burned, we can
go live the good life in the Stronghold.

Exactly. Do you want to eat slag in
this hellhole for the rest of your lives?

But the food is in the Prince's castle.

How on earth are you
going to get in there?

That's why I'm asking you to come along.

I remember you mentioning that

there's an abandoned well in
the ravine behind the mountain,

connected to the waterways
beneath the castle.

You can use it to reach the
castle gardens without a sound.

Didn't you crawl through it
when you were a kid?

What do you say? Do this for me,

and you can also become a knight.

One personally knighted
by the Duke himself.

Y-You're all crazy.

Knights are supposed to
fight against injustice.

They must not bow to tyranny,
but protect the weak.

Those who would sacrifice the
common folk for personal grudges

don't deserve to be knights!

I will never let you do this.

Brian, we—

Greyhound, Greyhound!

Greyhound!

Now you know what to do, right?

Let's go, Captain.

My name is Grey... Greyhound.

I joined the patrol with you.

Brian, I was chosen to be a captain too.

Let's go light the beacon tower together.

I believe, with your abilities,

you'll definitely win the Prince's favor.

H-Haven't you always wanted
to become a knight?

It's good enough to protect
this place with you.

What the hell is this?

Who cares?

Stop spacing out. Let's go.

Come on, hurry.

Haven't you been here before?

Where's the warehouse?

Through that door ahead,

take a turn, and it's the kitchen.

The warehouse should be
beneath the kitchen.

I'm warning you, don't try anything funny.

Move!

Damn it!

You have a death wish?

Then let's join the militia together,

and then become His Highness's
knights together.

Greyhound, let me avenge you!

You're not part of the patrol.

Who are you?

Lord Viper!

Thanks for stepping in!

Worthless. So many of you
can't handle one man.

I'll have to do it myself.

So you're Viper, the famous
knight of Longsong Stronghold.

Duke Ryan sent you.

That's right.
And you're going to die here,

as the scapegoat who set
the food supplies on fire.

I won't let you succeed.

Wait a sec!

Lord Viper, let me do it.

I want to make him pay for hurting me.

Make it quick.

Don't forget our real mission.

Yes, sir.

Trust me, you're going to die in agony.

I'm sorry, Greyhound.

I couldn't become a knight,

and I couldn't avenge you either.

Hey. Causing such a ruckus
in someone else's home

isn't very appropriate, now is it?

Who's there?

Huh?

Rats that crawled in from the gutter,

take your filthy paws...
off my dried fish.

You're awake.

Y-Your Highness.

Hey, don't move.

Your wounds haven't fully healed yet.

Your Highness, I...

I already know what you did, Brian.

You saved Border Town's food.

You are a hero of Border Town.

On behalf of everyone in Border Town,

I thank you.

Y-Your Highness, no.

My friend Greyhound,

he's the true...

hero.

I understand.

Kihls Medde, also known as Fierce Scar,

confessed as soon as he
entered the torture chamber.

Don't worry. Greyhound will receive
a funeral befitting his status.

I will also make proper
arrangements for his family.

They won't have to worry
about their livelihood again.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness, what about Fierce Scar?

He's still alive.

We captured two survivors.

One is Fierce Scar,

and the other is a knight
from Longsong Stronghold.

They've both confessed.

Rest well for now.

I assure you in the name of Wimbledon that

the criminals will receive
the punishment they deserve.

I've already arranged for others
to take over patrol duties.

After the Months of Demons,

I will hold a knighting ceremony for you.

Y-Your Highness, do you mean...

Yes, Brian.

You will become my knight.

You just said you would
punish the criminals.

However, that might not be so easy.

What's the problem, Barov?

This matter is certainly connected
to Duke Ryan of Longsong Stronghold.

That man with the severed arm
is one of Duke Ryan's knights,

nicknamed Viper.

And then there's that guy named Kihls.

Although he's a commoner,

his distant uncle is Baron Boris.

He does have some connection
to the nobility.

Their joint attempt to burn the food

must have been done on Duke Ryan's orders.

Those men broke into your castle
and intended to burn the food.

By law, they should be executed.

However, whether it's a knight of the
Stronghold or a baron's relative,

they can buy their way out
of punishment with money.

And if they truly were sent by the Duke,

the Duke certainly won't
stand by and do nothing.

What's your advice?

In my view, we should wait and see.

Their mission failed.

The Stronghold should
make a move very soon.

Your Highness, Baron Boris
requests an audience.

Carter, go get Nana to
treat Brian's injuries.

Be discreet.

Yes, Your Highness.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What brings you here?

Tell me.

Your Highness, I wish to apologize on
behalf of my nephew for offending you.

Your nephew?

Yes, Your Highness.

Kihls is my distant nephew.

He's been a dutiful and
conscientious patrolman.

I heard he lost his head.

He followed the patrol captain's orders,

snuck into your castle,
and committed a foolish act.

When I get back, I will
certainly punish him severely.

I got some more gold royals
over the past few days.

I'm giving these to
Your Highness as restitution.

Also, I heard that a knight
was arrested along with him.

This knight is the captain
of the Duke's personal guard.

I don't know how he got
caught up in this incident.

If possible, I would like
to make amends for him as well.

Here's fifty gold royals.

I beg Your Highness to show mercy.

Are you suggesting that

this assassination attempt was
orchestrated by Duke Ryan?

No, no, no, no.

Duke Ryan knew nothing of this matter.

Really?

In other words, this entire
operation was the personal initiative

of the captain of
the Duke's personal guard.

Y-Yes. The Duke is loyal to
the Graycastle royal family

and would never permit such behavior.

I choose to believe in the Duke's loyalty,

and I also understand your
affection for your nephew.

I will hold this incident
to be their personal act,

and leave it at that.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Highness, then may I—

Well then, as a reward
for the Duke's loyalty,

I will take it upon myself
to clean house for you.

Barov.

Yes, Your Highness.

Viper, a knight of Longsong Stronghold,

together with Kihls Medde, a.k.a.
Scarface, patrolman of Border Town,

murdered their comrade,
infiltrated the palace,

and attempted to assassinate the Fourth
Prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle.

The evidence is conclusive.

Sentence: death by hanging,
to be carried out immediately.

H-Hanging?

Th-That's...

B-But, Your Highness,

in the name of God,

the crimes of nobles can be pardoned.

If pardoning them is God's will,

then I shall send them to meet God.

Wh-What—

Also, as the magistrate of this town,

you must attend,

and witness the justice of the law.

Today, we have executed
two heinous criminals.

Last night,
they attempted to assassinate me,

and led men into the warehouse,

intending to burn everyone's
food for the winter.

Fortunately, Brian and Greyhound
discovered them in time.

Thanks to their brave resistance,

our food supplies were not destroyed.

However, one of them was severely wounded,

and the other heroically
sacrificed himself in battle.

Some deaths are as light as a feather,

while others are as heavy as a mountain.

The wicked have been severely punished.

The sacrifice of our heroes deserves
our respect and mourning.

I will knight both heroes,

and hold a grand funeral
for Mr. Greyhound.

Thank you.

I owe you one this time.

If the food had been burned,

I truly wouldn't have known what to do.

It's nothing.

I'm imposing here.

Helping you is helping myself too.

I didn't expect you to be so skilled.

Carter grilled me about it for ages today,

asking if I'd secretly hired
some mysterious expert.

What did you say?

I said the mysterious expert
can't reveal themselves yet.

When the time is right, I'll tell him.

I'm not stronger than your chief knight.

It's just a little self-defense
trick that witches have.

There might be more incidents
like this in the future.

Why don't you just stay
and be my bodyguard?

I'll pay you two gold royals a month.

Five days on, two days off.
Paid annual leave. How about it?

Huh? Paid annual leave?

That means every year you get a few days

to rest while still getting paid.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Your Highness, today you executed
those two in the name of God.

They were knights, relatives of nobles.

Yet you also defied the will of God

by saving Anna and protecting Nana.

What exactly does God mean to you?

It's not God hunting witches,

it's the Church.

You and I both know that
witches are innocent.

That's why I saved them.

Whether they're a knight or a noble,

a crime is a crime,

and they should be punished.

The difference lies in whom
the law is made to protect.

Throughout the long course of history,

how many gods have been
worshiped by different people?

And how much evil has been carried
out in the name of the gods?

I am simply doing what I believe
is right for my people.

I believe that a true god
can understand my actions.

If He doesn't understand me,

then He isn't God.

Greyhound...

I've come to see you.

I've realized my dream.

After the Months of Demons,

the Fourth Prince will hold
a knighting ceremony for me.

Come to think of it,
you don't know this yet.

His Highness told me that a witch
saved me with her magical powers.

He also said that the witches will join us

to protect Border Town
from the demonic beasts.

I will wield my sword
to defend this town,

for both of us.

So, farewell,

my friend.
