You're amazing, Tristan!
Hey, what was that just now?!
Well... To be honest, it's a form I'd rather not show to people.
You were cool!
Don't you agree, Gawain?
What's the matter, Gawain?
How distasteful. Why were you hiding your ability from me?
That's because...
Despite praising me as invincible or the strongest,
you secretly think you are stronger, don't you?!
I don't think that at all!
What a pain to deal with.
Sob...
R-Right!
This ability can only be used for a limited time,
which is quite inconvenient.
Does it tire you and wear you out?
Something like that, I suppose.
In other words, I am the strongest and the invincible one!
Percival!
Anne!
Nasiens!
Donny!
I thought you'd be here!
Gawain brought me here!
Percival! Are you hurt?
Any broken bones?! Bleeding?! Internal injuries?!
No.
What is this terrible sight?
Don't tell me you were fighting that huge snake!
They were the Ten Commandments defeated in the past by the Seven Deadly Sins.
It seems they were revived by King Arthur as his pawns.
The Ten Commandments were his pawns?!
Using an old threat against humanity as his own arsenal,
King Arthur has crossed a line that should never have been crossed.
Four Knights of the Apocalypse, for the future of Liones and Britannia,
please lend your help.
We will do our utmost to aid you.
Feel free to command us anything.
Wow! So you guys get to boss Holy Knights around?
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse hold that much significance, it seems.
Suddenly it feels like there's a distance between us and Percival now.
FREEZING, BURNING HEARTS
It looks like it's over.
You should go check out what's happening outside.
What if something happens to Sir Tristan?
But he's the one who gave us the order, so there's nothing we can do!
Are you aware that you're being suspected of being a traitor?!
Jade, don't you believe your childhood friend?
Don't change the subject!
Why did you try to kill one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse?
Answer me, Chion!
Are you innocent or guilty?
We're childhood friends, but I won't forgive you based on your response.
No matter what unfolds, no matter what it takes,
even if it means being suspected of treason,
I will protect Sir Tristan.
That's all.
How is that a reason to target a knight of prophecy?
Don't you see?
What if one of them is pretending to be a knight of prophecy
and is plotting to take Sir Tristan's life?
What if Sir Tristan's life is endangered because of an ally who drags him down?
We should always act with the worst-case scenario in mind.
I want to minimize any risks that may threaten Sir Tristan as much as possible.
Chion, you...
Do you understand now?
You're too much.
What do you mean?
If that's the case, you should just tell Sir Tristan openly!
That you're worried!
I don't want him to think I'm too much.
So you're aware of that!
Keep quiet.
Hold right there.
That's an armor I'm not familiar with.
Are you new here and perhaps lost in the castle?
Beyond this point is an area reserved for major criminals.
You can't enter without permission.
I thank you for the warning.
However, what are you apprentices doing here?
Don't you know us?
We're the Tristan Platoon.
Tristan?
Oh, he's the Prince of Liones, isn't he?
You're not a Holy Knight of Liones, are you?
I'm a former Holy Knight of Liones.
Nice to meet you, my junior colleagues.
There should be someone who was arrested on suspicion of spying.
My purpose is to retrieve this person.
Retrieving a captive?
This person is a Holy Knight of Camelot!
Attacking us without warning...
You have no sense of chivalry whatsoever, do you?
I might get along with you.
True.
Whoever strikes first wins.
That's the fundamental principle of combat.
But what's the point if that strike is parried?
Silf, this is where you and your companion come in.
Tifof... Tifo...
Why are you stuttering?
Tiho...
What's going on? My speech is slurring!
Chion! Pull yourself together!
What's going on?
Is this cold air?
My body temperature is dropping fast.
Is this the bastard's magic? This is bad.
At this rate, I'll be completely frozen, unable to move a muscle!
You guys aren't strong enough to stop me. Train harder.
How dare you...
Drift Bomb!
I can move!
Stay back.
It's you!
She's right. The two of you can't handle her yet.
Vice Great Holy Knight Guila!
At just 22 years old,
she became the first female Vice Great Holy Knight in Liones.
Ten years later, her sword skills are still top-class in the kingdom!
Above all, it's said that her composed judgment
and wit in battle surpass even those of the Great Holy Knight.
Her magic is formidable.
She incinerated numerous members of the demon clan in the Holy War
by wielding Explosion!
By the way, it's rumored that
she dated the Great Holy Knight Howzer, but they broke up after just three days.
However, the rumors' truth is uncertain.
There it is, Chion's directory on Holy Knights.
Dame Guila, what are you doing here?
His Majesty has instructed me to inspect the underground dungeons.
The commotion outside is likely a diversion by the enemy.
FREEZE SHIELD
You've certainly risen in the ranks to become the Vice Great Holy Knight.
It's such a shame to reunite with an old friend under such circumstances.
Well then...
Shall we have a match after so long?
Flame Rapier.
Freeze Saber.
Jade, shouldn't the two of us get away from here?
How can you call yourself a Holy Knight?
Dame Guila! At this rate, the underground will collapse!
Don't worry!
The dungeons are protected
by a powerful ward, precisely for situations like these...
You can afford to look away, can you?
Didn't you make a vow to yourself?
To carry on the legacy of your older brother,
who sacrificed himself to protect you in the Holy War,
and to become a Holy Knight even greater than he was?
So why...
have you fallen to become a wicked Holy Knight of Camelot?
Wicked, huh?
Is she...
Yes. She's one of the New Generation of Holy Knights of Liones, like myself,
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,
and the teacher of Lancelot.
Jericho.
Former Royal Holy Knight of Liones,
Jericho...
She's Lancelot's teacher?
I had a slight hunch.
But I see... So he really is one of the knights of prophecy.
I thought I had struck quite deeply, but your armor is quite sturdy.
Jericho, I don't understand.
What happened in these few years?
Ten years ago, you resigned from being a Holy Knight of Liones
and earned the complete confidence of King Ban and Queen Elaine
as the Great Holy Knight of Benwick.
Isn't that right?
Did you fail a mission and receive reprimands?
It wasn't like that! I'm not some kid, you know!
Did something happen between you and Lancelot?
You cared for him as if he were your own brother.
And he cared deeply for you as his teacher and as an older sister--
That's enough. Shut up!
We'll provide backup!
There's no harm in having her owe us a favor, after all.
Don't say stuff like that!
Don't pry any further.
No one understands how I feel.
No one.
Jericho...
The fight is over.
We were comrades in arms.
I don't want to kill you.
Stay quiet and let me fulfill my mission.
As a Royal Holy Knight, I also have a duty to fulfill.
Damn it! What's with this wall of ice? It won't budge at all!
Dame Guila...
Freeze Coffin.
I'm not the person I was before.
It seems that the gap in our abilities has become too wide.
Black flames?
I won't let you pass. Not ever.
This magic and form...
It's almost that of the demon clan!
What on earth?
Vice Great Holy Knight is a member of the demon clan?!
It's news to me, too!
You haven't forgotten, have you?
The dreadful New Generation Plan carried out by the Great Holy Knight
at the time of the Holy War?
We were apprentices at the time, and in pursuit of power, we drank demon blood
and harbored their essence within our bodies.
But those seeds were all removed by Ban.
And every New Generation member, myself included,
should have lost the essence of the demon clan.
You're wrong.
Gowther, one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
used his magic to restrain the essence within me from running wild.
So it still resides in my body.
What of it?
Killer Iceberg!
I dedicated myself to training my mind and body,
and learned to awaken the power of demons at will.
However... I haven't fully gained control over its power yet.
Be prepared to lose an arm or a leg or two.
She did that with her bare hands? Just how strong is she?
You touched me.
You're done for, Guila.
What is this?
Impossible. It won't even melt with the flames of Hell.
If you persist in trying to stop me,
I'll have to kill you.
Even Salamander can't do anything!
Move aside.
Farewell, old comrade.
Why did you come?
We're family, aren't we?
Lancelot...
I'll take my teacher home.
Stay away! You don't want the Vice Great Holy Knight to die, do you?
We should do as she says.
Despite your impressive entrance, you're already at a loss.
The abilities of a knight of prophecy don't amount to much, after all.
S-Sir Lancelot?
Is he going to let her die?
This isn't personal, Guila.
Wow! With just one attack!
Not yet.
Are you serious?
Hurry and get Thetis to lift the spell.
It's only a matter of time before she freezes to death.
What about her?
I will go after her.
Is that you, Jericho?
It seems I can't escape. The magic binds are too strong.
Do it.
Before they make me spill Camelot's secrets.
I've been looking for you for two years.
Tell me what happened.
Why did you disappear from Benwick?
Why did you become a Holy Knight of Camelot?
My dad and mom have been worried about you.
So have I, of course.
Do you remember, Lancelot?
Exactly six years ago
in Benwick when we were spirited away?
The three years it took us
to escape after being confined in that world, just the two of us?
Yeah. I just wanted my dad to give me a pat on the back,
but I dragged you into a mess when you tried to stop me.
Over there, I was scared every day.
I kept griping and venting to you and whined the whole time.
I was just a useless drag to you.
I was a really hopeless brat.
You left Benwick...
because you got sick of babysitting me.
It's true that it was a lot of trouble.
Babysitting a prince who was griping, venting, and whining all the time.
But I couldn't have been happier.
Those three years are cherished memories for me.
Wait...
So you didn't leave because of me?
Don't be ridiculous.
Lancelot,
I love you.
Me too!
To me, my dad, and mom, you're like a dear family member!
I really can't help myself.
Whenever I look you straight in the face, I can't help but express how I truly feel.
Miss...?
I've fallen in love...
with you.
I love you,
Lancelot...
as a man...
I can't forget the amazing three years I spent with you.
Lancelot...
Your tough-guy act, your face when you sulked, your innocent demeanor...
Everything was dear to me.
You've grown up... Lancelot.
I will never forget the decision you made for me.
I truly, deeply loved you.
But I can't stay here, looking at you, as dear as you are.
He is waiting for me over there...
I developed this feeling during our three years of adventuring together...
for a child 18 years younger than me...
I fell in love with someone I considered my younger brother.
It's off-putting, isn't it?
The thought of you eventually realizing these feelings I had for you scared me,
so I couldn't stay by your side any longer.
If that's the reason you disappeared,
then why are you telling me this now?
Because this is probably the last time
I'll see you like this.
Please tell Ban and Elaine I'm sorry as well.
You don't get to say that!
Why Camelot of all places anyway?
What's in Camelot?
"He is waiting for me over there"?
Who are you talking about?
King Arthur granted me the world I desired.
A Lancelot who will love only me.
A world with just the two of us.
And I can't afford to lose that.
To protect it, I...
Lancelot, I will fight even you with everything I've got!
Are you kidding me?
Miss, you've been deceived by Arthur!
Gate of the everlasting kingdom, open before me.
Accept my guidance.
Miss!
Arthur!
Lancelot isn't coming back.
Let us head to the castle as well.
If we are going to the castle, I wish to eat the most delicious pudding there is.
Prepare a bucketful for me.
- Excuse me? - Excuse me?
We can feel free to command them anything, right?
W-We'll get the castle's cooks to prepare it.
Come on, Percival! You should command them, too!
- Um... let's see... - Please don't incite him.
I want yummy pudding too!
Why?
Pudding isn't a bad idea,
but first, we need to do something about all your torn clothes.
Well then, let us go to the castle's tailor at once.
Impossible. They should have been defeated.
