Noct. Wake up, Noct.\NWe're almost there.

We in Caem already?

Not quite. Just stopping once\Nmore to top off the tank.

I'm starving!

You and me both.

Wake me when We get there.

Ready to order?

What to choose, what to choose.\NWhat're you getting, Noct?

Hmm...

Noct?

What?

Burgers and drinks for four.\NI'll leave the details up to you.

Thaff waff cloff!

Don't talk with your mouth full.

Think she recognized you?

Doubt it.

Be more careful from now on.

We don't want to\Ncause a sce- Noct.

Ignis.

Quit babying him,\Nor he'll never outgrow that picky eating.

I appreciate the advice.\NIf you could, tell him that yourself.

Why me?

Because f say it every day.

It ain't my problem.

Come on, you two.\NNo fighting at the table!

We're not fighting.

Pipe down. Trying to eat here.

Well, that's a first.

Come on, we gotta get on the boat soon.\NCan't we all just get along?

I told you: we're not fighting.

Oh? Well, if you say so!

We're set to arrive\Nin Caem tomorrow.

If all goes well, that is.

Indeed. We're likely to run into the\Nempire along the way. Lucis is no longer-

Prompto!

The hell, man!?

What a mess.\NCould we get some napkins?

My bad!

The Kingdom of Lucis, now under imperial\Noccupation, plunged into anarchy

following the death of its royal family. In\Nits first steps toward quelling the unrest,

the empire has established a provisional\Ngovernment in the Crown City.

Discussions regarding just\Nwho will fill the positions

in this government are\Nalready well underway.

By including candidates\Nwith no political ties-

Look-over there!

Let's go.

Didn't expect those buckets of\Nbolts to sniff us out so quickly.

Think they're coming for us?

We need to find a place to hide.

Lucis and Niflheim were\Nat war for a long time.

Then Lucis lost.

The news says the royal family's dead and the\Nimperial army's overtaken the Crown City.

But I'm still alive.\NAlive and on my way to see Luna.

And I've gotta stay alive.\NThere's still so much I wanna tell Dad.

What?

Foods ready!

Better than bean soup, I guess.

You can say that again.

No one's forcing you to eat it.

This is good.

Time to chow down!

Wonder how much longer we'll be\Nable to eat in peace like this.

The time will come when we need to\Ntake action and reclaim our home.

I guess we can't\Nalways be together...

Stop that.

How many have you taken?

Too many!

They'll make a fine\Nrecord of our journey.

Right! This started out as a road\Ntrip to Noct and Luna's wedding,

but then all that stuff went\Ndown at the capital and...

To be honest, I didn't think\Nwe'd make it this far together.

After all, I'm just your average plebe.\NI'm more trouble than I'm worth.

You can say that again.

Hey, ouch!

On my own...\NIt would have been impossible.

Huh?

But I'm not on this journey alone, so...\NThanks. For coming this far with me.

Heh. Took you long enough.

Happy to be of service.

That so?

Coffee, anyone?

Sure.

Me, too! Me, too!

Early day tomorrow.\NBetter quit while you're ahead.

Come on,\NI can't not' have this coffee.

Fine. But bed right after.

I'm not even sleepy.

Then let's play a game!

First, we prepare for tomorrow.

Wonder how Luna's doing.\NAny idea, Noct?

Who knows.

"Who knows"?\NYou know, don't you?

Course he does.\NThat's why we're crossin' the sea.

He's more concerned than anyone\Nabout Lady Lunafreyas well being.

I'm going to bed.

Whoa, you're turning red!

SHUT up!

Seems he ain't outgrown\Npuberty, either.

Getting through won't be easy.

Damn.\NWhy'd they have to be here?

Looks like they're\Non high alert.

But this is the\Nonly way through.

You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

You bet I am.

Then let's give it a shot!

But we can't shoot blindly.\NWe need a plan first.

Noct, go all out from the start.

Take out half their numbers in the\Nfirst swipe. You'll be our diversion.

Got it.

Thank you!

Quit messin' around.

All right!

Keep it UP!

Was this... a trap?

Noct... is that...'?

Yeah. No doubt about it.\NThat's definitely...

What IS that!'?

That is... the monster that\Nnearly took Noct's life.

Noct!

Prompto, watch the road-

Oh! A deer! Did you guys see that?\NYou saw it, right, Noct? Noct?

Again? Any more shut-eye and\Nthey'll stay shut for good, y'know!

Just doing his royal duty.

Well, lest we disturb him.

Hey! Ignis!

Have you forgotten our encounter\Nwith the empire yesterday?

They can't be far behind.\NWe need to be more-

Then let's keep it on 'til they get here.\NWe gotta unwind at some point!

You more than anyone, Iggy!\NI mean, you always look so serious.

That's just his face.

Hey!

Eyes on the road, Prompto.

I'm watchin'-

You're not. Let me drive-

The hell, Prompto!?

What happened?

Sorry!

You Okay?

A dog, huh.

Ignis! Break out the first-aid!

Is he injured?

Yeah. There's a thorn stuck\Nin his leg and he can't move.

Sorry!

C'mon, let's go.

Prince Noctis,\Nhow many servants do you have?

A hundred?

No way! More than that, right?

Then how many?

A thousand?

Prince Noctis!

Bathroom.

I'm home...

My favorite...

It's okay, I got you!

There. All better!

Ya hungry?

I've got treats, too.

Someone's probably missing you a lot.\NGuess I better put up some flyers...

Hey, watch it!

Oh no, I'm late!

I'm home!

Tiny... Snowball... Tiny? Too plain.\NBut you are pretty small.

Hey, stop that!

You need to dry off first\Nor you'll catch a cold.

Look, your legs are still wet.\NWait, calm down!

You'll be all better soon, Tiny.

Your owner must be worried sick.\NWe've gotta get you back home, don't we?

What's your owner like anyway?

G'night, Tiny!

Huh?

Tiny?

Tiny! Tiny!

Tiny! Tiny! Tiny!

Tiny...

Umbra?

Pryna! Pryna!

Pryna...

Gentiana! Pryna's back!

That she is.

I'm so glad you're all right.

It says "Prompto"... But who-

It shall be known.

For me?

Smells nice.

Dear Prompto, I hope this letter\Nreaches you in good health.

My name is Lunafreya\NNox Fleuret.

I believe you are the one\Nwho found my dog, Pryna.

Tiny!

My heart was heavy with\Nthe thought of losing her.

But we were happily reunited,\Nthanks to you. You have my gratitude.

I had sent Pryna to\Nsee Prince Noctis.

Prince Noctis?

You're friends with\NNoctis, aren't you?

I heard he's usually too busy\Nto play with his schoolmates,

so I suppose you don't\Nget to see him very often.

Regardless, f hope you can continue\Nto be a good friend to him.

Me? And Prince Noctis? Friends?

Does that mean she\Nwants me to talk to him?

This girl Luna...\NLunafreya is counting on me... Me!

I can do this.

H-hello, Prince! Would you-AHH!

Everything all right?

Y-yes, it looks fine...

Oh... Uh, here you go...

Not that.

Huh? S-sorry...

You're heavy!

Well... See ya!

Heavy...

W-wait! Would you-AHH!

I knew it.\NThere's no way we could...

No! We Will be friends.

I can do this!

Hey there!

I can't. Not yet.

Hey there! Keep it up!

Oh, um, hey...!

No, not yet!

Sorry!

It's okay... But, um...

I wanna be a good runner.\NGot any tips?

Huh?

Hey there!

Hey there!

Hey there!

Hello.

Hey there!

Hey there!

Something the matter, Noct?

No, it's nothin'.

Is that the prince?

Duh! Wow, I can't believe\Nwe go to the same school!

What should we do?\NShould we talk to him?

No, I couldn't!

Hey there, Prince Noctis!

Huh?

I'm Prompto! Nice to meet you!

Don't I know you?

There ya go, boy.

That your mom?

Now don't wander off anymore.\NIt's dangerous on the road, y'know!

We there yet? Wait.\NWhere are we?

Pit stop.

Medical emergency.

C'mon, let's get goin'!\NCaem's just over the horizon!

Hey, Noct.

Yeah?

You think I can meet Lunafreya\Nwhen we get to Altissia?

Why wouldn't you?

Guess you're right.

Nice.

Looks like meat's\Non the menu tonight!

Not so fast. We've got company.

And they don't look too happy.

Damn...\NLike one wasn't bad enough.

Guess we're in for\Na feast tonight!

Uh oh, they found us!

What timing.

Should we run?

And leave the meat?

I don't Want to, but-

Sweet! We lucked out!

Don't speak too soon!

Thanks.

You really are\Nthe king's shield!

How are you holding up?

I could do this all day. We'll let the\Nnumbers decide who eats like a king tonight.

That a challenge?

If you can make it one.

Oww...

You can do better than that.

Again.

No.

Hey.

It's dinner time.

So how are your classes?

Fine.

Our definitions of "fine"\Naren't the same, you know.

But as long as you're\Nenjoying yourself...

You didn't eat your carrots.

I hate carrots.

That stuck-up prince!

You said something mean!\NI'm telling Papa!

Iris!

Haha! Stop it, Gladdy!

Just blowing off some steam.

Do you really hate him?

Yeah, I hate that spineless brat\Nfrom the bottom of my heart.

But, isn't it your\Njob to protect him?

Huh?

You're supposed to be the king's\Nshield, just like Papa!

If it were King Regis, yeah.

But I'll never protect that punk.\NNot like he'll ever be king anyway.

Wait-how come?

Go to bed!

Tell me, tell me, tell me!

I said "go to bed"!

Gladio.

Yes'?

Gladdy!

You dummy,\Nwhat're you doing here?

I'm not a dummy. You're a dummy!

Did you come here alone?

Yep! I came to see Noct.

What? You know you can't-

Why? You see him all the time!

Because it's my job!

No fair, no fair, no fair!

Shall I ask for an\Naudience with the prince?

Yaw. Thank you!

Now stay here.\NThey're asking the prince right now.

Where're you going?

Back to work.

Okay!

Kitty?

Prince Noctis,\Nwhere are you going?

For a walk.

Where's Prince Noctis?

Kitty?

They're so shiny!\NI'll give them to Gladdy.

Where'd she go?

Hello!?

He's gone!?

He hasn't returned\Nfrom his walk yet.

Where the hell'd he go?

Iris, you need to go-

Iris?

Gladdy...

Hello!? Hello!?

Noct?

Hey!

Noct!

Come on, let's head back.

What's your name?

Iris. Do you know the way?

Yep.\NI come here to play sometimes.

Even though you're the prince?

Even though I'm the prince.

That exit will be our little\Nsecret, okay?

Okay!

My brother's gonna be so mad...

Your brother?

Gladdy...

Iris!

Gladdy...

Where were you!?

You had me worried sick!\NWell? Say something!

What's all the\Ncommotion, Gladiolus?

My sister went missing and\Ncaused an uproar in the palace-

It wasn't Iris's fault.

What I?

Gladiolus.

Tell me what happened.

I went outside to play earlier\Nand asked her to come with me.

You are a child of royalty.

Do you understand you\Nare in no position

to simply leave the palace\Nwithout telling anyone?

Did you ever consider your carelessness\Nmight be putting Iris in danger?

You're grounded.\NNow go take a bath.

Okay.

My sincerest apologies\Nto the both of you.

No. It was my fault for\Ntaking my eyes off of her.

Gladdy...

What?

A-actually...\NIt wasn't Noct's fault.

What I?

I was chasing a kitty and got lost...\NThen Noct.. Saved me.

He saved you?\NLike I'm gonna believe that.

It's true!

But he said he asked you to-

I'm sorry.

What, done already?

Homework?

Project from my tutor.\NI have to do it 'cause I'm grounded.

What?

Even if you can't go out,\Nyou can still train, right'?

I think I've got\Nenough to do already.

Come on, you're not the only\None being punished here.

Get up!

Dang it!

You still got a long way to go.

But... You got guts.

Iris told me the whole story.

What story?

The real one,\Nwhere you covered for her.

Thank you.

You don't need to...

But that doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.\NYou got a lot to learn before you're king.

Then teach me.

That's why I'm here.

This time, I won't lose!

Give it your best shot.

Whew, I'm beat! Time for steak?

Not until we replenish our spice supply.\NWe'll have to return to town and buy more.

Can't you buy them\Nin the next town?

It's quite a distance.

But I'm starving now!

So what's the score?

Four here.

Damn. Me, too.

Ugh, I can't win.

I ain't gonna make\Nit easy for you.

Now who's ready for some steak?

"Thanks, Noct!" "A gift."

Are we there yet?

Not quite. And we're unlikely\Nto arrive within the day-

Camping again?

Isn't there somewhere\Nwe can stay?

We can return to Lestallum\Nand spend the night.

Seriously?

Alright!\NI knew Iggy'd understand.

You're too soft.

Better not to run\Nourselves ragged.

This is heaven!

Lucky for us they had a room open.\NHey.

Let's check out the food stalls!\NI'm craving kebabs!

Alright.

You two coming?

Nah, I think I'll stay here.

I'll stop by to get ingredients later.\NYou two go on ahead.

Okay. Let's go!

And don't stay out too late.

Where to first?

Kebabs?

Hey! Where'd you get that?

Sorry for the wait. Who're you?

The shop's over there. Bye now!

See ya!

Nutmeg and cinnamon, please.\NAnd two pouches of black pepper.

Here ya go.

You can eat 'em just like that.\NThey make great jams, too.

Then I'll take these.

Whatcha makin'? Oh, that again.

Yes, but with bananas this time.

You sure like baking, huh.\NHow come?

Hm, well...

Looks good!

I hope you don't mind\Nme using the kitchen.

Don't mind at all!\NYou're always baking something.

I didn't know you had\Nsuch a sweet tooth, Ignis.

It's not me, per se...

Good evening.

Tomorrow's the math test!

I'm so bad at math!\NNo-I'm bad at everything!

Bet you're doin' just\Nfine, though.

I don't get extra credit\Nfor being the prince.

Well, later.

Your Highness, please ban exams!

Don't mind me.

I mind the vegetables...

Don't.\NYour diet is far from ideal.

You need to consider the nutritional value\Nof your food and learn to cook for yourself-

Yeah, yeah.

Remember to wash your\Nhands before dinner.

The comics are on the shelf.

Lady Lunafreya's notebook\Nis in the drawer.

I suggest you write back soon.

I know.

And may I ask where\Nthat button's from?

My uniform, I guess.\NDidn't notice.

No matter.

I'll fix it once I get home.\NLeave your uniform out.

I'm stuffed.

No room for dessert?

I tried using a\Ndifferent type of honey.

How is it?

It's... not quite the same.\NIt was sweeter, and flakier.

I see... Perhaps a pie\Ncrust will do the trick.

This is good, though.\NAren't you gonna have one?

Of course. Coffee?

Yeah, thanks.

I'll take my leave so\Nyou can set to studying.

I know I've told you before, but be sure\Nto close all the doors when you go out.

Locking the front door\Nalone won't suffice.

Uh-huh.

Also, remember to separate your garbage\Nand don't just leave it in your room.

If you think someone will come by\Nto pick it up, you're mistaken.

Uh-huh.

Noct.

Yeah, yeah.

If you can't prove yourself\Ncapable of living alone,

you'll be moved back to the palace.\NAnd...

This is a political report.

Please have a look at it.\NI'll be by later to explain in detail.

Can it wait 'til after exams?

I understand your\Nstudies are important.

But you are first and foremost\Nthe successor to the throne.

Do bear that in mind.

No way! Noct, studying!?\NHey, whatcha eatin'?

Breakfast. Want some? No?

No! Well, maybe just a bite.

Whoa! What is this?

Dunno.

Huh?

When I was a kid,\NI spent some time in Tenebrae.

And I had this\Namazing dessert there.

The only problem is I don't\Nremember what it was made with.

I told Ignis about it,\Nand now he's trying to make it for me.

Huh.

No success yet, though.

What, this isn't good enough?\NAnd since when does Ignis bake?

This increased imperial\Nactivity is troubling.

It's only a matter of time\Nbefore Lucis is targeted.

We must ready the Wall.

The Imperial Army is still\Nstrengthening its forces,

so it's likely the recent\Nattack on Galahd was

merely a test of\Ntheir new weapons.

Reports say our magical power\Nwas inhibited during the battle.

Do they intend to\Nbreak through the Wall?

We can do nothing but\Nspeculate at this point,

but give orders to be\Nprepared for anything.

Dismissed.

Ignis.

Your Majesty.

How is Noctis?

He has begun his final exams.

I encouraged him to study, but his\Nlevel of preparation is... questionable.

As for his life away\Nfrom the palace...

I'm concerned about\Nhis dietary balance.

But I think it will improve\Nwith proper guidance.

Thank you.

But of course.

Has the Wall taken such\Na toll on Your Majesty?

It would appear so.

Only the king can create the\NWall and protect his people.

If something foul should befall me,\Nthe heir of Lucis must take the throne.

But I will end this\Nwar before that.

I leave Noct in your care.

Understood.

It's over! It's finally over!

Least the first day is.

One day is more than enough.

Oh, it's the king.

Huh? Did he always use a cane?

You're late.

I thought your exams\Nended before noon.

I was at the arcade.

Did you study for\Ntomorrow's tests?

Why're you here?

I brought your uniform-and this.

Have you read the report?

No.

I suspected as much.\NIt doesn't look like you've touched it.

The war with the empire may\Nhave ended 30 years ago,

but we cannot let our\Ndefenses down just yet.

The news is being regulated,

but we receive reports of local\Nskirmishes from time to time.

I know.

Thanks to the king and the\NWall, though,

Lucis has been able to enjoy\Npeace for the past 150 years.

As a king must sacrifice his own\Nstrength to create the barrier,

His Majesty has avoided the public\Neye to concentrate solely on the Wall.

However, it seems as though he's\Nlost the ability to summon weapons.

Are you listening?

Do we have to talk\Nabout this now?

If not now, then When?

You're the successor to\Nthe throne and someday-

My dad's going to die?

I didn't-

That's what you're saying!\NWhen my dad dies, I have to be the king!

Shouting won't change the truth-

Well I don't wanna\Nhear your "truth"!

I see you won't\Nlisten to reason.

But you ought to at\Nleast think it over.

Dammit!

What's wrong?\NDid ya bomb the test?

Shouldn't you be in school?

We were just heading home!

Gladio.

Iris isn't home yet.

You've been skipping practice lately.\NHope you haven't gotten too rusty.

Focus, Noct!

I can't.

Hey, you can't give up already.\NThe king's counting on you.

I know!

I know.

I know. I can't become\Nthe king like this...

But... I don't wanna\Nthink about my dad dying.

Noct's been slacking off lately.

Was he with you?

Earlier, yeah.

If he tries to skip out on training\Nagain, bring him by.

Certainly.

But... I never know what\Ngoes on in that head of his.

I sometimes wonder if he even\Nunderstands his position.

Give him a little\Nmore credit than that.

Is something burning?

Did you cook?

Tried to.

Hungry?

Regrettably,\NI didn't bring anything today.

Not bad, once in a while.

So... Which trash does\Na frying pan go in'?

It's not trash yet.\NI'll bring the proper cleanser next time.

Thanks.

I spoke out of turn last time.

Last time... you almost had it.

Oh, you mean the sweets?

I could definitely\Ngo for some more.

Very well.

We're baaack!

Oh, something smells good!\NWhat'd you cook up this time?

See for yourself.

It's been too long!\NWell, don't mind if I do!

What flavor is this?\NIt's so good!

SQ?

Not quite.

"Way too sweet."

It's a pleasure to meet\Nyou, Prince Noctis.

I am Lunafreya of House Fleuret.

Has your wound healed yet?

Please, I ask that you\Nrest if it still pains you.

O-okay...

Introduce yourself, son.

I'm... Noctis.

Luna!

Luna! Luna!

Be safe, Noctis.\NKnow that I watch over you always.

The Chosen King alone can\Nwear the Ring of Light.

The King chosen by the Stone grows\Nstronger with the Oracle at his side.

With the Ring in hand,\Nthe King can dispel the darkness.

Noctis...

Noct... is that...'?

Yeah. No doubt about it.\NThat's definitely...

Noct!

Focus, Prompto!

Sorry! It's just...\Nisn't that a daemon!?

Ignis! Don't tell me the\Nempire's usin' daemons now!

I'm as surprised as you,\Neven considering who we're up against.

Never thought I'd see\Nthis stupid snake again.

Guess it means the empire\Nwas behind that, too.

She's outta control!

Noct! Let's pull back for now.

Even His Majesty failed to slay this serpent.\NYou don't stand a chance as you are-

I didn't ask for your opinion!

Things are different now.

The fireflies were so pretty.\NShoulda brought a bottle...

Your father will be happy just to\Nhear about your day, Prince Noctis.

It's such a pity he\Ncouldn't make it today.

He doesn't care.

What was that!?

Oh no!

I'll have a look.

Wait.

A daemon!?

What is it doing here!?

Have they broken the Wall!?

Protect the prince!

Check for survivors!

Your Highness.

Noct...

Noct? Noct!

Are you all right, Noct?

We gotta get outta here!

Then go!

But I'm staying.

Noct!

Noct!

Noct!

Dammit...

Noct!

Noct...

Noct!

Sorry. Just had to cool off.

Damn.

Noct!

You're not in this\Nalone, y'know.

It's not over yet.

This plebe's got your back!

Ready, Noct?

As ever.

Then let's so.

You look like a real snake now!

Ignis!

Prompto!

Gladio!

Is it dead?

It's dead... It's dead!

Noct!

Dad...

Noct...

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Dad...

So what're we gonna do\Nwhen we get to Altissia?

Dunno.\NWhat's say we crush the empire?

We can't let them get away\Nwith what they did to Lucis.

Think we can do it?\NIt's four of us against all of them.

You can call it quits if you're scared.\NWe got a job to do, but you're free to go.

"Go"!? After all we've been through?\NBut I-

You're pissed.

You're pissed they took what's ours,\Nand you wanna take it back. So do we.

Precisely.

Think you can handle that?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't\Nscared, but we gotta take it back.

No, we will take it back!

I can't wait 'til\Nwe get to Altissia!

You just wanna meet Lady\NLuna, don't you?

She might just wanna see\Nme, y'know.

What!?\NBut you said I could meet her!

Did I?

You did! I gotta meet her, Noct!\NC'mon, Noct!

Give it a rest, Prompto!

Settle down,\Nor you'll sway the car!

I need a nap.

Noctis...

There is so much I\Nmust discuss with you.

Please, be safe.

Sorry for the wait, Luna.

I'll be there soon.
