1
00:00:05,350 --> 00:00:07,190
You certainly enjoy your drink.

2
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:10,860
What happened this afternoon
was a disaster...

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,370
Behaving like like that in
front of so many people...

4
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:22,500
Still... that was the first
time a man ever protected me...

5
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:27,060
Personally, I think you're a lot more
personable than you were before.

6
00:00:29,090 --> 00:00:32,887
I would've never believed that
there are nobles willing to risk

7
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:34,260
their safety for others.

8
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:36,390
I'm going to get more liquor.

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,020
It's probably the alcohol...
but this isn't so bad.

10
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:52,400
Someone else protecting me...

11
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,097
No, no! What am I thinking?

12
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:00,417
Illodren's back!

13
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:01,930
Was that a child?

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,540
And Illdoren looked this way!

15
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:09,957
She spurted!

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Hilarious.

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,657
D-Did I drink to the point
of hallucinating...?

18
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:17,457
It's Illdoren, Illdoren!

19
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:19,697
What a place to find Illdoren!

20
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:21,430
Wha... What...

21
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:24,777
What are these little things?!

22
00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:27,440
I can see why you'd be surprised, Sera.

23
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:32,717
Veor! Where have you been since supper?

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,307
Actually, what are these little things?!

25
00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:36,927
Now, now, there'll be time for that.

26
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:40,210
You're going to see something even
more surprising, soon enough.

27
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:45,140
So, this is the girl, Thundering Voice?

28
00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:51,077
The one who defended people
from the Tsukebikeshi?

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,707
It takes real grit to
face a dragon head on.

30
00:01:54,790 --> 00:01:57,257
I can see why she's
Thundering Voice's bride.

31
00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:59,877
Being thankful for that's part
of why we're having this party.

32
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,600
It's a party! A party!

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,467
We've brought some of the
Sacred Tree's special liquor!

34
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:07,480
Yay!

35
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:18,610
Tiny people with wings, animated plants,

36
00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:21,370
it's all so out of this world...

37
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:24,600
How bad are my hallucinations
going to get?!

38
00:02:25,630 --> 00:02:30,287
Findin' a wife so soon is a
real cause for celebration!

39
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:32,350
It's the guidance of the Great Spirits!

40
00:02:33,950 --> 00:02:37,130
Got somethin' for ya.
My way of sayin' congratulations.

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,890
Wh-Why would you give me something
as expensive as a sword?

42
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:43,017
Just be gracious and take it.

43
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:45,450
The swords from his forge
are all masterpieces.

44
00:02:45,610 --> 00:02:47,570
That's not the issue!

45
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:52,730
If you're not convinced, take a look at
the blade. You'll want to keep it then.

46
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:56,840
The blade? I mean, I can discern
a sword's quality well enough...

47
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,417
Incredible.

48
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:03,010
She's a beaut, ain't she?

49
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,760
The blade itself is so consistent,
without a single distortion,

50
00:03:07,090 --> 00:03:10,670
while being just thick enough,
with tasteful decorative fluting...

51
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:16,857
Is it enchanted? Balanced expertly
around the hilt, as well.

52
00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:19,000
Not a single flaw... the wrapping

53
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:22,257
on the grip is so smooth and almost
seems to cling to the hand...

54
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,760
But more than anything, it gives
off this faint glow, like a pearl.

55
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:27,750
It's beautiful.

56
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:32,747
S'made from metal that only
we work: true silver alloy.

57
00:03:32,830 --> 00:03:35,817
I hear the folks out
west call it "mythril."

58
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,750
Mythril...?

59
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:43,197
As in the same metal told of in the
Lord of the Armlets and Terminal Saga?

60
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,660
The same. In them western tall tales,
they apparently call us dwarves.

61
00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:54,717
If I may, I'd like to make
the introductions here

62
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,170
that I called you all in for,
as the future great chief.

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,797
These are the three wise
elders of the Quefto clan:

64
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,217
Elder Vas, Elder Guas, and Elder Balhath.

65
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,407
An Ixt Rijutsushi, Lord Karka Roth.

66
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:09,930
The Bud of the Sacred Tree, Lady Nimhala.

67
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,430
The Great Chief of the Fairies,
Lady Vyufumec and her servants.

68
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:21,167
Elves, spirits, and even fairies...

69
00:04:21,250 --> 00:04:23,240
Are you all right, Sera?

70
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:30,450
Well, it's just... I didn't expect
anything more fantastical than a dragon.

71
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:35,070
Be that as it may, they clearly exist.
That's simply how it is.

72
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,847
Besides, they're not characters
from some fantasy story.

73
00:04:37,930 --> 00:04:39,710
They're our dear neighbors.

74
00:04:46,940 --> 00:04:48,657
You needn't feel so self-conscious.

75
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:52,390
Those from the west always react the
same way, so we're accustomed to it.

76
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:58,060
If anything, it's funny, so keep being
shocked! It goes well with the liquor.

77
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:59,647
Illdoren.

78
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:04,527
This leaf is good for overstimulation.
Has a sedative effect.

79
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:07,297
Th-Thank you?

80
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:10,080
Some people foam at the mouth
after taking it, though.

81
00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:14,787
I can't deny their existence since
they're right in front of me,

82
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:18,880
but unlike dragons, being able to
converse with them is... a lot to take in!

83
00:05:19,650 --> 00:05:22,267
This is a lot of new information,
considering I'd been fighting with

84
00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:25,057
the eastern expedition for seven years.

85
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:28,510
Well, they make a point to avoid the west.

86
00:05:30,010 --> 00:05:31,807
Why appear before me, then?

87
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:33,857
Didn't I tell you, earlier?

88
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:35,727
I arranged this meeting between

89
00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:38,770
the elders of the various clans
so I could introduce you.

90
00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:40,770
Now that you mention it...

91
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:45,150
I can see how you might have forgotten,
after the Tsukebikeshi attack.

92
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:50,197
The tribes they represent, along with us,
the oldest tribe of Cornem,

93
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,490
collectively form the Five Great Tribes.

94
00:05:53,810 --> 00:05:56,447
The great chief, who moderates
conflicts between the five,

95
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:00,570
is chosen in a ritual
by the great spirits.

96
00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:04,277
All manner of peoples, big and small,
are born in this land,

97
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,950
raised here, and live here,
before returning to the soil.

98
00:06:08,310 --> 00:06:10,377
We have joined hands with each other

99
00:06:10,460 --> 00:06:13,597
because we all understand
this course of nature.

100
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,577
The Tribal Alliance.

101
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:18,027
That's what those of us who
share a united culture,

102
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:19,910
under the Great Spirits, are called.

103
00:06:21,010 --> 00:06:23,070
The Tribal Alliance...

104
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,367
Then the barbarians... no,

105
00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:27,987
all these different races share
an equal cultural sphere?

106
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:31,650
Granted, unless there's
some kind of crisis...

107
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:35,430
we're mostly just drinking
buddies, as you can see!

108
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:40,040
This sounds more like a
party than an alliance.

109
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:45,710
Wait, you spoke of crisis.
What about Illodren's Eastern Expedition?

110
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:50,340
Why are you laughing?!

111
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,710
You'll have to forgive us, we don't
mean to make light of your question.

112
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:58,187
But the Tribal Alliance

113
00:06:58,270 --> 00:07:02,427
doesn't get involved in territorial
disputes in the first place.

114
00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:06,907
Uh... do you mean to tell me
that our war is being treated

115
00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:09,787
with the same gravity as animals
fighting over territory?

116
00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:13,027
We're not all that different from
animals, in the first place.

117
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:14,337
Besides, this alliance

118
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:18,000
wasn't created with the purpose of
suppressing other peoples in mind.

119
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:20,090
What is it for, then?

120
00:07:20,630 --> 00:07:22,797
To respond to the threat of dragons?

121
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,057
Not that, either.

122
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:29,510
Our individual tribes can handle
most beasts and dragons.

123
00:07:29,860 --> 00:07:32,247
Then there's some greater threat

124
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:34,480
that requires you to
seek each other's aid?

125
00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:36,807
I don't want you to misunderstand.

126
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:40,347
Dragons are, without a question,
both clever and fierce.

127
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:42,817
However, they are not dreadful.

128
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:44,317
Dreadful...?

129
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,457
There is a type of monster...
we call them Fiends.

130
00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:50,597
As you live here, you'll
encounter them sooner or later.

131
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,297
They're a bit like a living disaster.

132
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:54,337
Fiends...?

133
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:55,837
Compared to fighting those things,

134
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,797
I would die with a smile on
my face fighting Illdoren.

135
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,577
What?! That is genuinely scary!

136
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:02,847
Okay, enough! No more!

137
00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:06,347
If we keep talking about those
blights, I'm gonna feel sick!

138
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:08,670
I thought this was a celebration!

139
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:11,467
She's right! Let's drink
and forget all about them!

140
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:12,530
Indeed.

141
00:08:12,940 --> 00:08:14,800
A toast, to the new bride!

142
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:18,870
Here you go! I hope you enjoy it.

143
00:08:20,110 --> 00:08:24,127
The Kufuwek have the most vitality
out of all people of these lands.

144
00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:25,477
Consider yourself lucky.

145
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,307
O-Okay...

146
00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:30,630
We may be seeing Thundering Voice's
child sooner than expected!

147
00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:33,397
You give it your all, now!

148
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,147
Her backside looks like she'll
give him sturdy stock!

149
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:37,450
B-Backside...?!

150
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:39,047
Oh my!

151
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:41,100
Don't buy into their nonsense!

152
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:46,357
You're already acting like a married
couple of years! It's heartwarming.

153
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,697
I demand a smooch!

154
00:08:47,780 --> 00:08:51,050
Smooch him! Smooch him! Smooch him!

155
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:52,390
- There will be no smooches!

156
00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:54,220
- Smooch him! Smooch him! Smooch him!

157
00:08:52,390 --> 00:08:54,220
- I'm surrounded by drunkards...

158
00:08:55,140 --> 00:08:57,107
It's their way of giving
us their blessings.

159
00:08:57,190 --> 00:09:00,090
They're as happy as they would
be if it was their own joy.

160
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,407
It's not just the liquor, either.

161
00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:07,330
The clothes and necklace
you have are all gifts.

162
00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:12,280
We spun your dress in our village.

163
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,740
The necklace is from us.
A mix of gold and mythril!

164
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:21,740
This, too? In addition to the sword?

165
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:24,790
This feller enchanted the sword.

166
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,667
It repairs itself, so you'll never
need to worry about maintenance.

167
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:30,927
That sort of thing is possible?

168
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:32,880
With Ixt sorcery, yes.

169
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,527
We all compensate for
the things the others lack.

170
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:38,457
The Cornem, for example,
offer our combat strength

171
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:41,177
in exchange for the goods
and technology that we lack.

172
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,870
I see...

173
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:48,190
This place truly is blessed.

174
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:01,830
My head hurts...

175
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,120
Are you awake?

176
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:08,167
Why would you bolt upright like that...?

177
00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:11,137
I just... well... sorry.

178
00:10:11,220 --> 00:10:14,917
I came to wake you because the
elders had all returned home.

179
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,840
It's already afternoon?

180
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:21,867
Looking back on it now,

181
00:10:21,950 --> 00:10:27,070
it really was like I spent the night
in some sort of fairy tale...

182
00:10:34,110 --> 00:10:37,030
But it wasn't a fairy tale. It was real.

183
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:40,910
It seems there's a great
deal I've yet to learn.

184
00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:43,280
Did you sleep well, Sera?

185
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,207
Veor's beard?!

186
00:10:48,290 --> 00:10:51,997
It grows back so quickly, I don't
usually bother with shaving, but...

187
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,207
You're reacting the same way.

188
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:56,447
I-I have no idea what you mean!

189
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:58,300
Now, let's have lunch.

190
00:11:00,210 --> 00:11:02,050
Wh-What?!

191
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:05,310
Eat now, flirt later.

192
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:12,690
What is this? It's thick, and hot,
and kind of gamy... and juicy?

193
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:15,940
Dragon meat and herb sandwich,
on potato loaf.

194
00:11:16,370 --> 00:11:18,740
It's from the Tsukebikeshi you killed.

195
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,970
Everyone else was eating it yesterday.

196
00:11:22,370 --> 00:11:23,487
The bird?!

197
00:11:23,570 --> 00:11:24,700
It was a dragon.

198
00:11:26,370 --> 00:11:29,287
It takes a moment to get used to,
but it is quite good, that bird.

199
00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:30,487
Dragon.

200
00:11:30,570 --> 00:11:32,270
I'll take another.

201
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:34,127
That's quite an appetite...

202
00:11:34,210 --> 00:11:37,210
We've got a bit of walking to do.
Are you ready, Sera?

203
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,187
There's someone who heard about you
this morning and wants to meet you.

204
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:45,220
An acquaintance of yours, apparently.

205
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,937
I can't imagine who I
might know around here...

206
00:11:55,020 --> 00:11:57,730
Someone I crossed blades with before?

207
00:12:00,130 --> 00:12:02,740
You could've waited in the house!

208
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,740
I was too excited to sit still.

209
00:12:13,010 --> 00:12:15,860
It has truly been a long
time, Lady Serafina.

210
00:12:16,210 --> 00:12:19,380
I heard you defended a family
that was attacked by a dragon,

211
00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:21,097
and finding out

212
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:25,140
that you're as proud and courageous
as ever has me feeling nostalgic.

213
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:28,230
Sorry, who are you?

214
00:12:29,420 --> 00:12:33,597
Well, I have changed a fair bit...

215
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:34,770
I'm Nyleia.

216
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,727
I served as a knight in the Eastern
Expedition under your command,

217
00:12:39,810 --> 00:12:40,897
four years ago.

218
00:12:40,980 --> 00:12:42,477
Do you remember me?

219
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,650
Nyleia from the Eastern Expedition...

220
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,530
Commander Lavillant.
It's a pleasure to meet you.

221
00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:50,830
I am Nyleia de Philomar,

222
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,290
at your service as a part of the Eastern
Expeditionary Force's First Division.

223
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,790
Well met.

224
00:12:58,530 --> 00:13:01,607
I've been told one of the frontier
villages has come under attack!

225
00:13:01,690 --> 00:13:03,170
Let's go, Nyleia!

226
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:04,180
Right!

227
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:07,680
Wretched barbarians.
Their struggle will be meaningless!

228
00:13:12,170 --> 00:13:13,317
Are you all right, Nyleia?!

229
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,940
I'm fine. But we need to
press them, quickly...

230
00:13:22,850 --> 00:13:24,390
Nyleia!

231
00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:35,877
Nyleia?!

232
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,977
My old subordinate,
Viscount Philomar's daughter?!

233
00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:40,710
I thought you were dead!

234
00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:43,377
I can see why you'd be surprised.

235
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:47,470
And that belly... are you... with child?

236
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:48,897
This will be my second.

237
00:13:48,980 --> 00:13:49,887
A second?!

238
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:52,997
I mean, surely things can change
a lot in four years, but...

239
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,430
This is a bit too much
for me to comprehend!

240
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,590
It is a something of a long
story... Let's talk inside.

241
00:14:03,470 --> 00:14:07,587
When my husband told me about
the Crystal Helmet last night,

242
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:09,020
I thought it had to be you.

243
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,457
That helmet did tend to draw attention,
for better or worse...

244
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:14,370
And you have a husband, eh?

245
00:14:15,710 --> 00:14:17,147
I certainly do.

246
00:14:17,230 --> 00:14:20,277
I was proposed to by the
man who defeated me.

247
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,760
And in spite of it all,
I've made a life here...

248
00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:26,130
I honestly have trouble
believing it at times.

249
00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:32,510
My time in the expeditionary force
feels like another person's life.

250
00:14:33,010 --> 00:14:34,260
I see.

251
00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:38,137
I have to ask, why did
you call out to Veor?

252
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:40,987
He seems to be the son of
someone in authority...

253
00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:43,247
Is it wise to have him
running errands for you?

254
00:14:43,330 --> 00:14:47,620
You'll find it's not quite the same
as in the west, in that sense.

255
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:52,660
And young Veor stands out so much...
I find myself turning to him for help.

256
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:55,090
He does stand out, but...

257
00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:57,017
"Young" Veor?

258
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:58,277
What is it, Sera?

259
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,447
You're not that young.

260
00:15:00,530 --> 00:15:05,050
Lady Serafina, Veor's only 18 years old.

261
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,407
But have you seen his beard?!

262
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:11,420
I can't help what my body does...

263
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:15,627
Lady Nyleia is my cousin's wife.

264
00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:17,597
So she's a distant relative.

265
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,017
That's true. Being family is part of it.

266
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:24,577
Hang on, you're 18?! You?!

267
00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:26,717
Yes. Did I not mention that?

268
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,867
You did not!

269
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:30,117
And Lady Serafina turns 26 this—

270
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Do not!

271
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:37,450
The prime of womanhood!
That suits me just fine.

272
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,860
I-I don't appreciate that statement
from someone younger than me!

273
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:45,960
Or is that your way of
bragging about your youth?

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,590
No. If anything, I wish
I was born a bit earlier.

275
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,220
Why is that?

276
00:15:53,820 --> 00:15:59,987
I could've met you sooner, and you
wouldn't fret about the age difference.

277
00:16:00,070 --> 00:16:02,230
Of all the ridiculous things to say...

278
00:16:03,270 --> 00:16:05,860
Listen to me closely, Veor.

279
00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:10,437
Don't assume our hypothetical alternate
encounter would end in your favor.

280
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,360
No matter when,
I will never be your bride!

281
00:16:30,450 --> 00:16:35,170
My lady, Serafina de Lavillant,
I offer a heartfelt apology.

282
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:37,390
The arrogance of my youth...

283
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:40,770
was clearly an unintended insult
to you, a fellow warrior.

284
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:43,640
As long as you understand.

285
00:16:44,350 --> 00:16:47,407
Why did Master Veor randomly apologize?

286
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:48,650
Well...

287
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:53,617
When Lady Serafina was captured,
what kind of injury did she have?

288
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:56,117
Nothing in particular.

289
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,860
She managed to fight until
her sword shattered.

290
00:16:59,170 --> 00:17:01,410
Then it wasn't shattered, but lasted
to the point of giving out...

291
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:04,910
Veor's in the wrong, then.

292
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,217
Listen well.

293
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:10,417
Knights make it a point of courtesy,
and warriors make it a point of pride,

294
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,740
to fight to the death, with no mercy.

295
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,677
And when two foes are evenly matched,

296
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,160
they fight until one is
no longer able to go on.

297
00:17:21,430 --> 00:17:27,727
But Veor, whose blows can
shatter stone and slay dragons,

298
00:17:27,810 --> 00:17:30,897
fought until her weapon,
which was ordinary steel, expired,

299
00:17:30,980 --> 00:17:32,987
yet was unable to land a single blow...

300
00:17:33,070 --> 00:17:36,267
In other words, it took an advantage in
equipment to let him fight her evenly,

301
00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:41,450
and beyond that, he had to rely on
his stamina to draw out a victory.

302
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:45,580
If he had left himself
open for even a moment...

303
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:55,227
All that said, war is about making do
with the best weapons available to you,

304
00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:58,590
and he apparently didn't use
his Thundering Voice, either...

305
00:17:58,820 --> 00:18:01,257
Still, it's presumptuous to assume
he'd win a second battle,

306
00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:04,130
considering it wasn't definitive
the first time around.

307
00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:09,777
I'm embarrassed enough.
Could you show some mercy?

308
00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:11,457
He's never made that face before...

309
00:18:11,540 --> 00:18:14,290
I can't believe I'm paying
such close attention to him.

310
00:18:17,140 --> 00:18:19,990
I'd like to apologize again, Sera,

311
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,870
as well as giving my thanks to
fortune for granting me my victory!

312
00:18:24,340 --> 00:18:26,370
F-Fine.

313
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:31,797
What was that?! She obviously likes him!

314
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,817
I just wish they'd get on with it already.

315
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,370
You two aren't mincing
words anymore, are you?!

316
00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:38,660
We're back!

317
00:18:39,210 --> 00:18:41,390
Oh, Vidal, welcome home.

318
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,670
Yeah.

319
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:45,390
Hey, it's Veo!

320
00:18:45,850 --> 00:18:48,807
I'm too old to get called that, Vido.

321
00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:53,097
Look at you, visiting with the
Crystal Helmet and Cersei.

322
00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:54,497
Thanks for having us.

323
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:56,150
Make yourselves at home.

324
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:01,057
Mother!

325
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,417
Welcome home!

326
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:05,557
You should've seen him
out there running today.

327
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,817
Really? It won't be long before we'll
need to get him a wooden sword.

328
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:12,717
Nyleia's husband and son...

329
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,327
Lady Serafina.

330
00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:18,487
I've accepted no shortage of scorn
for becoming a knight as a woman...

331
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:23,010
But serving and fighting under
you has made something clear.

332
00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:27,017
I was given a duty by God
to fight for my homeland.

333
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,317
I will dedicate myself
to bettering the people.

334
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,117
To claiming barbarian territory
and watering it with their savage blood,

335
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,400
so that our crops may grow.

336
00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:38,600
You really have changed, Nyleia.

337
00:19:39,410 --> 00:19:45,030
But you look so much happier than
I can ever remember you being...

338
00:19:46,110 --> 00:19:47,060
It's nice.

339
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:51,327
Oh, no! That was... I didn't mean to.

340
00:19:51,410 --> 00:19:52,957
You didn't mean to...?

341
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,147
I didn't mean what I said, is all.

342
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:56,040
Sera?

343
00:19:56,330 --> 00:20:00,047
The Frozen Lavillant looks
hot under the collar...

344
00:20:00,130 --> 00:20:02,277
Reminds me of when we were newlyweds!

345
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:06,690
This calls for celebratory drinks.
I hope you're ready, Veo!

346
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:09,420
Newlyweds?! I'm not...

347
00:20:16,290 --> 00:20:19,070
I didn't expect to be
celebrating two days in a row.

348
00:20:22,050 --> 00:20:24,397
These two days have made
something abundantly clear.

349
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,450
I knew nothing about this place.

350
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:32,460
Who lives here, what kind
of culture they have...

351
00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:37,127
I marched, and fought against them,
without knowing any of it.

352
00:20:37,210 --> 00:20:42,950
Your warriors have families,
just like the knights of Illdoren...

353
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:48,300
But I didn't think of it,
and tried to ignore the obvious fact.

354
00:20:48,770 --> 00:20:50,970
I called you barbarians and savages.

355
00:20:51,690 --> 00:20:54,117
Using that as justification
for an invasion,

356
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,437
acting as if it was morally righteous...

357
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Believing it was what
was best for my people.

358
00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:03,847
Sera...

359
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:07,240
I thought you were an
enemy, worthy of hate.

360
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,490
But knowing you as a person,
it's clear that's wrong.

361
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:18,000
But even then... I am a knight,
and a noble of Illdoren.

362
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:23,300
My yearning to save my barren homeland
and its suffering people remains.

363
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:28,760
If I take home what I've learned here,
I may be able to make that happen.

364
00:21:29,770 --> 00:21:33,520
Which is why I have no intention
of becoming your wife.

365
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:36,020
That stands to reason...

366
00:21:36,820 --> 00:21:40,270
Still, that is only how I
feel in light of my duties.

367
00:21:42,540 --> 00:21:45,470
Which is to say, uh... well...

368
00:21:45,910 --> 00:21:51,030
Speaking as an individual,
I don't think it sounds bad... Veor.

369
00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:54,040
Sera!

370
00:21:54,850 --> 00:21:56,677
This is too much!

371
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,937
You know, I'm certain now. For all
your sincerity, you don't play fair.

372
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:04,200
How was that not fair?!

373
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,477
You're not even aware of it...
What a state of affairs.

374
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,410
What are you on about?!

375
00:22:12,930 --> 00:22:14,997
Another fine meal!

376
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,847
You're in a good mood.

377
00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:20,857
Well, can you blame me, after how
charming you were last night?

378
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:23,697
I-I wasn't trying to...

379
00:22:23,780 --> 00:22:26,060
It was the liquor talking!

380
00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:31,200
Oh, I see. Then it's not
how you truly feel...

381
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:33,397
You...!

382
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,950
Do you think I'm shameless enough to say
something so brazen and not mean it?!

383
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:40,547
What I said last night were
my true and honest feelings!

384
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:41,480
Do not insult me!

385
00:22:41,710 --> 00:22:44,460
And now she's saying it without any booze.

386
00:22:45,310 --> 00:22:49,720
To be so honest while sober...
it's really unfair how lovely you are.

387
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,970
You said the same thing yesterday!
