We beg your pardon.
When we took our eyes off for a moment...
What happened, happened.
Shall we gather assistance from the castle?
No, we shouldn't make a fuss about it.
Let's trust Lancelot to handle this.
Your Majesty.
The former king wishes to see you immediately.
Bartra, what is it?
It seems he has dreamed again.
An omen about the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
Let me hear it.
When the kingdom is blessed
with the moon, a distant roll of thunder, and rain,
the four knights of prophecy will finally gather together.
So they'll finally gather.
However...
assassins of chaos and blades of betrayal
will once again snatch away hope.
KNIGHTS OF PROPHECY MEET
That's enough, you guys!
Sir Tristan!
Welcome back.
Have you managed to find the knight of prophecy?
I have just sent the knight to the castle.
More importantly,
I would like you to explain this situation.
These folks are servants of King Arthur.
They are Knights of Chaos.
Them?
They certainly don't appear to be so.
Are you using Silf on them?
Lift the spell now, Chion.
Okay.
You guys went overboard!
But this guy had a fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
Just recently,
we got word that one of our allies recovered the fragment of the Coffin.
Haven't you heard?
What?
I failed to finish you off.
You're luckier than I thought.
How boring.
I'm all alone again.
Donny, Nasiens, Anne.
You...
You guys took them from me!
What's the matter, Chion?
M-My arm...
What's this?
Did you do that?
Jade, lift the darkness from him!
Yeah, I will--
No.
Eve ngua yorgo.
Jade!
While his identity is unknown, lifting the spell now is too risky.
If you are a Knight of Chaos as my companions say,
I will have to consider you as an enemy.
Vaz jigura.
That's a language I've never heard before.
And this magic.
It's wild, violent, and pulsating like the beating of a heart.
Twinkling Star!
Percival.
It seems you're not one of the demon clan.
Yog.
Sir Tristan, I will fight with you!
Finish him off already!
I don't want to draw unnecessary blood,
but it looks like it won't be that simple.
We will never let you hurt him!
We will protect Percival at all costs.
This kid is our hope, that's why.
You guys, step away now!
It's too dangerous!
No matter what happens,
you are you, Percival.
We are right here.
We will never leave you to be alone.
His magic stabilized.
Huh?
How can you call yourselves Holy Knights of Liones?
He's Percival,
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, summoned by the King of Liones!
No way!
Lift his darkness.
Yes, sir.
You guys...
You guys were all safe.
Seriously...
You are so much trouble.
Anne! Nasiens! Donny!
You're hurt badly! I'll heal you right now!
Huh?
Huh? My magic isn't manifesting. Why?
Right.
My ability to use magic relies on everyone's faith in me.
What should I do?
Let me help.
Huh?
Healing Star.
I can't believe it.
Wow.
Thank goodness!
Percival!
Wow, my magic is back, too!
You really are incredible, Sir Tristan!
Your skills captivate me every time I see them!
Thank you!
Your magic is really amazing!
Hey, your eyes...
Sir Tristan carries the blood of the goddess clan in his veins!
That's why he can instantly heal any injury!
Yes. I can mend any wound.
Anything but tears in clothes.
Oh, Sir Tristan, you're just too funny!
You guys! You're supposed to laugh now!
What? We're supposed to laugh?
Sir Tristan!
Chion needs your healing magic as well!
Oh, sorry. I'll heal you now!
Healing Star.
Did you do that?
I-I'm not sure.
I don't remember very well.
What's this?
It doesn't seem to be getting better at all.
Could it be a sickness?
Or perhaps some sort of curse?
My healing magic can't cure curses or sicknesses.
I'll need to consult Momm... I mean, my mother or Hendy.
No way...
What are you going to do about this?!
How am I supposed to fight enemies with my arm like this?
If I stay like this for the rest of my life,
my career as a knight will be over!
How do you plan to make things right? You better take responsibility for this!
Are you kidding me?
You guys are the ones in the wrong for attacking him in the first place!
- Mend! - Mend!
Stop it! What are you...
I-It...
Mended?!
The magic you just used, how did you do it?
I don't know,
but I figured that if I caused it, I could probably mend it as well.
Chion.
You need to extend a proper apology and express gratitude to him and his friends.
Especially if you guys are the ones who started this fight.
Thanks. And sorry about earlier.
It seems I had a bit of a mix-up.
You nearly killed us,
and you think you can brush it off like that?
It can't be helped if it was a mix-up...
I guess?
Percival!
It's not like you to have a mix-up, Chion.
You were aware of the traits of the knights
from the verses of the prophecy, weren't you?
"A boy with green hair like the wings of a bird."
You can see it at a glance!
And one more thing.
You also must've known that our allies
successfully retrieved the fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
Gowther sent a message to my father the other day,
and I was informed that the news was relayed to you, Chion, since I was away.
Why didn't you tell us?!
Well, explain yourself!
Come to think of it, that's right.
Well, I was in such a panic, and it completely slipped my mind.
Isolde was chasing Percival, with a face like thunder, so...
I completely thought he was an assassin from Camelot.
So, half of it is your fault.
Isolde, why were you chasing him?
Because that little kid robbed me
of the chastity that I had vowed to offer to you, Sir Tristan.
Huh? What? What were you robbed of?
I can't look you in the eyes anymore.
Farewell, my beloved Sir Tristan!
Huh? Wait, did I do something to make her dislike me?
It's probably one of her assumptions again.
Let's just leave her alone.
A-Anyway, let's start fresh for now.
Let's begin with introductions.
I'm Percival.
I'm one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, apparently.
I'm Tristan Liones.
Like you, I'm one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
What?
Lione...
...s?
Tristan Liones?
You're the Prince...
- Of Liones! - Of Liones!
Now, including the one I brought here, all four of us have finally gathered.
What?
There's me, the prince,
and one more person, so isn't it just three of us?
What are you talking about?
Don't forget the one who brought you here.
Huh?
- D-Don't tell me... - D-Don't tell me...
Oh, there you are.
You guys sure caused a commotion in the streets.
Lancelot, too?
Looks like you guys have met each other now.
Hey, Lance. Long time no see.
I have a message for you, Tristan.
The fourth knight you brought back to the castle...
apparently ran away.
- Huh? - Huh?
- What?! - What?!
How?! Why did the knight run away?
How would I know?
The king asked me personally to deliver this message and to offer my assistance
to get everyone to clean up after the prince's mess.
It's not Sir Tristan's fault.
Isn't this fourth knight the one to blame?
Anyway, we'll catch that knight before they leave this kingdom.
The castle is north of here,
so if they decide to run,
they might head toward the west gate, east gate, or south gate.
Let's split up and search.
The Tristan Platoon will search the west gate area,
and the Percival Platoon will cover the east gate area.
And I'll search the south gate area alone.
Tristan, share what you know about the fourth knight.
R-Right.
Is that necessary?
We'll be the ones to catch the knight, anyway.
Hey.
The fourth is called Gawain.
A tall knight clad entirely in white armor adorned with gold decorations
and a wielder of golden magic.
G-Golden?
Wow. W-What else?
That's it!
- Come on! - Come on!
Can't you tell us if they're a boy or a girl,
or the color of their hair?
The knight didn't take off their armor throughout the entire journey,
so I honestly don't know much.
Useless.
Ouch!
Chin up, Sir Tristan!
They're just all bark and no bite!
Hey, Tristan.
You're still hiding something, aren't you?
Huh? No, I shared everything I know.
Well then, I'll tell everyone.
Hey! You read my mind, didn't you?!
Whatever, just tell them already.
The fourth knight, Gawain...
is a blood relative of our archenemy King Arthur.
What?
The blood relative of King Arthur?
Doesn't that make the knight our enemy?
See?
I didn't want to tell them because I knew things were going to get awkward!
If it's true, it's better to tell them beforehand.
Whoever they are, they're still one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
All right, spread out!
The knight is clad entirely in white armor adorned with gold decorations, right?
You'd expect them to stand out if they were walking in the streets.
Anyway,
I still can't believe the blood relative of our enemy is the knight of prophecy!
Right. Honestly, I don't know if I can trust them as an ally.
Don't you agree, Percival?
No, I don't.
I mean, my dad also serves King Arthur,
but I want to kick his butt!
Oh, I'd forgotten about that.
What is it?
We've finally reached Liones, but without a moment to catch our breath,
we've gotten caught up in various troubles, bombarded with new information,
and it's mentally exhausting.
You're right about that!
I never expected the Prince of Liones and even Lancelot
would turn out to be among the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
And...
what was that peculiar change that came over Percival?
What in the world was that magic and language?
Oh, I'm sorry for reminding you of it.
Back there,
I genuinely thought you guys had died,
and then my mind went blank.
I don't remember what I did or what I said or anything.
But, just like the time Ironside defeated me,
you guys helped bring me back.
I'm really happy that you are all with me.
Oh, please. Isn't that a given by now?
You're really unreliable without us, aren't you?
I'm the one who's happy that you're... um...
You'll always...
you'll always be my...
Guinea pig!
Anyway,
who would have thought that Lancelot was friends with Prince Tristan?
What a big shot. Acting all haughty toward the prince.
Maybe he's a prince of another country himself.
Absolutely not.
Oh, right. You guys, beware of Chion from the Tristan Platoon.
Did he lie about something by any chance?
Did he lie? He was all lies!
He knew about everything!
He went all out to attack Percival,
knowing he was one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
It's raining.
Are you listening?
Come on, let's be the first to find Gawain!
Yeah! We, the Percival Platoon will outdo the Tristan Platoon!
Ugh! How can he just brush away my worry?
When the kingdom is blessed
with the moon, a distant roll of thunder, and rain,
the four knights of prophecy will finally gather together.
However,
assassins of chaos and blades of betrayal
will once again snatch away hope.
A moon in the middle of summer!
And the distant roll of thunder and drizzling rain.
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!
What should I make for dinner tonight?
It's raining. Just my luck.
Today is the day I tell her I love her!
I wonder if Mommy is angry.
What are you doing out in this rain?
You'll catch a cold.
You're the one who'll end up with a cold.
Run home and go to bed, little girl.
- If you don't get enough sleep, - If you don't get enough sleep,
- you won't grow up, you know. - you won't grow up, you know.
Did you read my mind?
Up we get.
No.
I don't have the ability to read minds.
I just knew what you were going to say, Lancelot.
How do you know my name?
Who are you?
Her face, I've seen it somewhere before.
I...
Watch it.
I'm your lover!
