I want to bring this country to ruin.
That's absurd! Have you lost your senses, Lady Miranjo?!
My wish has always been the same.
Then those rumors were true.
Lady Miranjo was involved in the death of the former queen.
Apeas! Why are you following that woman?!
"That woman," you say?
I have sworn my loyalty to Lady Miranjo!
What?!
Ha! How about that! These things aren't so tough after all!
You fool!
"Ann the knight"
They were only measuring the reach of your weapons just now.
We're just getting started.
Ann...
Leave this to us, Hiling. We won't let them lay a finger on you.
The same as we have always done.
Right now, there is someone choking back tears
Shake off the power that comes from malice
Sure, you can't hear
But right now the hero doesn't need power
Let yourself be
Watch these tiny hands now
Everything I've fallen in love with
And the curse that fell upon me, too
All of the feelings of falling in love
Give me enough light to protect them
Shake off the power that comes from malice
Sure, you can't hear
But right now the hero doesn't need power
Let yourself be
The shadows are closing in, asking "What are you?"
"Ranking of Kings"
"Episode 13: The Kingdom in Turmoil"
Go on. I will protect Hiling.
Hiling, be ready to flee from here at any time.
Huh?
Better to be safe than sorry.
They're going to attack en masse.
Dorshe!
I learned my lesson last time.
Impressive.
Yes.
Still,
I can already see it--an exhausted Dorshe, and a bloodstained Hiling.
No matter how hard they fight, they cannot escape death.
H-Hey... He's already killed so many. We haven't gotten a single one yet.
Whew, are they serious?
The monsters are planning to wear those three out.
But that's wishful thinking. We have experience on our side.
Let us get a piece of this, too.
More threats!
Hey, we're gonna kill these three.
We don't need to get attacked along with them.
Call your monsters off.
Very well. I'll sic them on Hiling.
Why those...!
Where do you think you're going?
--Dorshe! --I've got this!
You all defeat the foes in front of you! They're small fries!
You can more than easily beat those guys!
What did you say?!
Oh, no you don't.
Dorshe! Ann!
We'll be fine! Hiling, you get out of here!
You're not getting away from me.
Nor me.
Hiling!
I'm all right.
Holy Light!
That was just a blinding attack...
Ann!
It's all right. You'll live.
Oh, Daida...
The castle! I see it! Hurry!
Ah, he's dead now, isn't he?
They're finished over there, too.
We didn't get to enjoy that very much, huh?
No... No, no! I can't die!
I have to save Daida.
Queen Hiling! Now's your chance!
Queen Hiling...
Apeas...
That's right. You had no reason to hate them.
In fact, they were your friends.
Lady Miranjo... I...
All right...
With the shape he's in, can Dorshe save Hiling?
Or is his strength exhausted?
For your sake, I will wait.
Lady Miranjo...
So do not betray me again.
Yes, ma'am.
Dorshe!
What?
Queen Hiling!
Dorshe!
It's too dangerous here.
You all need to evacuate right away.
So you say, but where are we supposed to go?
If there are monsters like that, it's your job to take care of them--
Get out of there!
Why, you...
Dorshe!
That should be enough. We're going back underground.
Lady Miranjo...
Someone has broken in.
But...
Those two are finished. The horror show is about to begin.
Can you just stand here and watch on as it happens?
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
I...
...can't abandon them!
I see. So you've become my enemy?
No, not at all.
But Lady Miranjo, why do you want Queen Hiling--
F-Forgive me.
I want to be of assistance to King Bosse.
I want to make his dream come true.
But his family is hopeless. They stand in the way of his dream,
so I must eliminate them.
King Bosse, please have another child.
Doing so will allow you to prolong your life.
Hmm? What do you mean?
Hmph, Miranjo, giant women can only bear one child.
Our race, like the gods, is doomed to perish.
I have found someone to be the new queen.
Her bloodline and her talents are both superb.
Miranjo, why are you so insistent?
I beg you, King Bosse,
have another child.
So this is my room, is it?
What's wrong with that mirror?
Is something the matter?
It feels very evil.
Please remove it!
Yes, ma'am.
King Daida's body now belongs to King Bosse.
That must be hard on Hiling.
Sooner or later, this is going to have to be settled.
Apeas, you have fulfilled your obligation. You are now done.
This is my battle. Let's head underground.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey...
Prince Ouken...
Is that one of the criminals?
Ah, it's Prince Bojji!
Prince Bojji?!
Prince Bojji has come here to save us?
But... that soldier is...
Listen to me, Captain. Not even you are a match for Ouken.
Make absolutely sure not to engage him until I get there.
Prince Despa...
But as things stand...
Bojji!
And one other thing--
Ouken is the natural enemy of Bojji in particular.
They must not be allowed to face off against each other.
Prince Bojji, please go to the castle and protect Queen Hiling.
Bojji, he says to leave this to him and go to the old biddy.
Prince Ouken, you must be arrested--no, put down!
I'm sorry, King Desha. I have no choice now but to claim the demon's head.
Lady Miranjo...
What is it?
Lady Miranjo!
What do you plan on doing by stealing me?
S-So heavy...!
You turned to gold!
That's it! I'd be a fool not to use your alchemy!
Ah, so you were nothing more than a petty villain after all.
Hey, I'm fine with just cutting you up right here.
Do you think you can?
What?
Red!
Just a minute before you fight!
--H-Hey! --Just hold on! Hold on!
Just stay your hand.
I'm sorry about this. They just lost their head for a moment.
Would you be willing to overlook this? Please?
Today tried to stay ahead, to not be swept away
But it got absorbed by yesterday
Today put its feelings off until later with a sigh,
but as always you leaped in with a smile
So I pushed back the deadline I'd decided was final
If the view changes after one more step...
If something changes...
Be the first to shine, even when others laugh,
because I will be holding your hand
It can't be just someone, it must be you
Only you can wipe those tears
Shine on toward a yet-unseen tomorrow
I'll be singing for you, waiting for you
I'll be singing here for you, waiting for you
