King's Raid: Successors of the Will (2020) s01e03 Episode Script
What the Predecessors Left Behind
1
One hundred years have passed
since the Battle of Galluah Plains,
where King Kyle defeated
the Dark Lord Angmund.
The Demons rise again,
threatening the world,
spreading fear and unrest to all.
Kasel finds Clause at the Tower of the Sage,
where the Great Sage Dominix explains to Kasel
that Kasel is the son of King Kyle.
I will explain everything.
The things that happened
when King Kyle was alive
What the
Predecessors
Left Behind
I got us some food.
Good work, Tamm.
Was there any trouble?
Not really. The shopkeeper looked
really uncomfortable when he saw me,
but the moment I mentioned Lord Moriham,
his attitude completely flipped.
I see
This is for you, Azal and Zucca.
Thanks.
Riheet, I'll put yours over here.
Yeah
Ripine.
Ripine, you wanted to eat it
freshly baked, right?
Go ahead, take a bite.
That bean bread is pretty good, huh?
Orvelian foods are all too salty.
Huh. I guess we don't agree on that one.
One hundred years ago, when King Kyle lived,
dark elves like us were able
to live in this city, too, right?
Yeah. It's all Illya's fault that
we cause a scene just by walking around.
Don't mention that name. You'll set Riheet off.
It's fine. Illya is the reason why dark elves
are persecuted--it's simply the truth.
True that.
One hundred years ago
This was when King Kyle was just a prince.
Kyle, you've gotten better at this.
It's all thanks to your training, Illya.
Both of you were quite impressive.
How about some rest?
Dominix, you're here.
Yes.
Delicious This is food sold
in the town, isn't it?
Yeah. I wanted to try it for lunch.
Did you sneak out into the town again?
Yeah, so?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I know, I know
Stop worrying.
Know your place!
King Kyle was full of curiosity,
and always wanted to know about
the lives of the people.
What if you go into town and
something dangerous happens?
You are the successor to
the throne, you know.
His elder half-sister Illya worried about him,
but also loved him very much.
You know how good I am
with a sword.
Kyle
I want to see how the citizens
live with my own eyes.
What do they feel during their lives?
What do they eat? What makes them happy?
A lot of things you can't see from the castle
are clear and visible in the streets.
Without citizens, there is no nation.
If we royals do nothing
but hoard wealth and wield power,
Orvelia will be in ruins before we know it.
I want to become a king that can protect
his people and make them happy.
You will. I'm sure you will
become a splendid king.
Thanks, Illya.
One day, when you become king,
I'll make sure to assist you
with my knowledge of technomagic.
That's reassuring.
Hey, Dominix
For the past few years, Orvelia has seen
nothing but peace and prosperity.
Why do some of
our people suffer in poverty?
That is because the war with
the neighboring nations lasted so long.
War costs money, and families who have
lost working-age members tend to go poor.
Who was that war for? It's all meaningless.
To become a king that protects its people
and makes them happy
To live up to this conviction,
King Kyle studied and trained well.
King Kyle was young,
and full of dreams and hope.
And the person with whom
he shared his dreams was Arlette.
Arlette? Could that be
Yes. Your mother.
How was Kasel's mother alive
one hundred years ago?
I will explain that later.
Back then, Kyle and Arlette
were very happy together.
But that didn't last very long
When they found out that Kyle
and Arlette were romantically involved,
the King and the nobles
forced them to separate.
Kyle was the successor to the King.
Arlette was an obstacle to
their plans for a political marriage.
Kyle's tragedies did not end there.
The Demons appeared.
The Demons invaded our world,
attacking and destroying towns and villages.
King Kyle lead his army and defeated
the Demons time and time again.
That was when King Median the First,
Kyle's father, passed away suddenly.
Kyle ascended to the throne.
The Demonic invasion continues,
our situation is still dire!
But now that I am king, I vow to defeat
every single one of these Demons!
As the king, I will protect my people!
Time to fulfill my promise
The newly crowned King Kyle raised
the Orvelian army's morale.
King Kyle met with Lorraine of
the Elves and Aeatola of the Orcs
and entered into an alliance.
He wanted to defeat the Demons
as a combined force.
Everyone accepted and trusted King Kyle
due to his wisdom and his courage.
But the Demons had
a massive advantage in numbers.
King Kyle was injured during battle,
and found Arlette at a shelter.
At that point, inside of Arlette
was you, Kasel.
Kyle was extremely pleased to know
that Arlette was with child.
It must be a boy! Let's name him Kasel!
I want to protect this world,
for the child who will soon arrive.
As if responding to his wish, Lua,
the Goddess of Light, appeared.
Lua gave King Kyle the Holy Sword Aea
to save the world from
the Dark Lord, Angmund.
I have received a divine message
from Lua, the Goddess of Light.
When a red ring covers the moon, the Dark Lord
will appear and threaten the world.
But with the Holy Sword Aea,
the Dark Lord can be destroyed.
Everyone, please, lend me aid.
We all swore to fight by King Kyle's side.
Meanwhile, Illya began to devote herself
to the study of technomagic,
without even thinking about
what it could lead to
Illya
Her study of technomagic led to her
being put on trial after her death,
and she was found guilty, right?
Yes, I think I've heard that story, too.
She tried to build another Holy Sword.
Yes. She attempted to create a false Holy Sword.
The people of Orvelia believed this was
a blasphemous challenge against Lua.
Why did she want to make a false Holy Sword?
Illya was trying to fulfill her promise.
She wanted to help King Kyle
with her own studies.
Finally, the day arrived.
Do you know the red star,
shining brighter than any other star in the sky?
Yes.
When that "Nocturnal Sun" intersects the moon,
the moon gets a red glowing ring.
That day, 100 years ago,
a sorcerer serving the Republic of Gray
named Malduk used a forbidden magic
to tear open a dimensional fissure,
through which he brought in
the Dark Lord Angmund.
King Kyle took the Holy Sword Aea,
and along with his friends,
set out to defeat the Dark Lord.
At the same time,
Illya's research was completed.
She chased after King Kyle,
but was killed by Demons on the way.
She was not able to meet King Kyle.
King Kyle, with the help from his companions,
faced off against Angmund.
However
After the battle, both King Kyle
and Angmund disappeared.
The only thing that was left
was the Holy Sword Aea.
After that, Demonic activities
began to die down,
and peace returned to the world.
But Malduk escaped,
and nobody knows where King Kyle went.
That is the story of your father, King Kyle.
King Kyle was a brave king.
He risked his life to fight the
Dark Lord, to protect everyone.
Yes. If it wasn't for King Kyle,
the world would have been destroyed.
After the battle, King Kyle's companions
sealed away the Holy Sword Aea,
and decided to each hold
the key to break that seal,
to ensure that the seal remains unbroken
until the day the Dark Lord returns,
and humanity requires
the Holy Sword's power again.
At the same time, Illya was
put on trial after her death,
for the crime of defiling Lua by
trying to create a false Holy Sword.
The result was a guilty verdict.
From then on, all dark elves in Orvelia,
including Illya's own family,
were persecuted.
Hey, Riheet.
That story about Illya earlier
Didn't she think for a moment that
her actions could affect all dark elves?
Why do you ask?
I was thinking, if I could go back in time
just once, what would I do?
That's impossible and absurd.
I'm just saying, what if!
I want to go back and save my parents
and brothers from getting killed,
but I also want to go back 100 years
and give Illya a good punch in the face!
To that, I agree.
There's no way to go back in time.
Illya means nothing.
What's important is, after Illya's death,
dark elves are persecuted in Orvelia
and much blood was spilled.
Our grievances against Orvelia will be settled.
Mr. Dominix, please tell me about my mother.
What did she do for 100 years
after those events?
King Kyle left behind the Holy Sword Aea,
but there was no one who could use it properly.
We believed that only those who carried
King Kyle's blood could inherit the sword.
We feared that, if Malduk was still alive,
he would attempt to bring Angmund back
when the "Nocturnal Sun" intersects
the moon again 100 years later.
If that happens, we will need
the Holy Sword and its heir.
We decided to put Arlette to sleep.
That's
After almost 100 years, Arlette woke up
and gave birth to you.
But Demons attacked your village,
and Arlette was killed.
With no parents and no place to live,
it was me who sent you to that orphanage.
So it wasn't a coincidence
that you visited us at our orphanage.
Correct. I have been watching over
your growth this whole time.
I have no doubt that you are King Kyle's son.
The "Nocturnal Sun" is on the verge
of intersecting with the moon.
So the Dark Lord is coming back?
I thought King Kyle defeated him.
Nobody knows just how much damage
the Dark Lord sustained in battle.
I believe that the recent increase
in Demonic activity is a harbinger
to the return of the Dark Lord.
Honestly, just being told that
I'm the son of King Kyle
isn't enough to convince me that it's true.
But
But I want power! If I had power
If I had the Holy Sword,
I could protect everyone.
Please tell me, Mr. Dominix!
How can I get the Holy Sword?
In order to acquire the Holy Sword,
you must first break its seal.
First, go meet Lorraine,
the Grand Sage of the Forest of Elidora.
Lorraine One of King Kyle's
companions in the battle, right?
Yes. I would go with you,
but I cannot leave the Tower of the Sage.
Cleo, Roi, please enter.
Whoa!
Why close the door?
Oh.
I-I wasn't eavesdropping!
I just happened to pass by.
I honestly wasn't listening! I heard nothing
about the Holy Sword or King Kyle!
I'm sorry. I did listen for a bit.
There is no need to apologize.
I knew from the start that you were there.
Seriously?
Wow, what a great sage.
These two will accompany you.
Huh?
Cleo is a very talented sorcerer.
Roi has many useful skills as well.
They should be able to help you.
Yay! I get to leave this place!
Can't you at least pretend to be sad?
You really are honest, Cleo.
She always talks about
how she wants to go outside.
Now that I'm coming along, you can feel safe!
I'll protect you from any danger!
Yes
And I'm her babysitter
You're my bodyguard! Bodyguard!
Cleo, Roi, please support them on
their journey to unseal the Holy Sword.
Yes.
Frey.
Yes.
Please take care of Kasel.
I understand.
Now go, Kasel.
The only way to protect this world
is by finding the Holy Sword Aea as its heir.
Yes.
You're King Kyle's?!
I still can't believe I'm the son of King Kyle.
That's why I have to find out
for myself if it's true.
If it is true I want to find
the Holy Sword Aea.
With the Holy Sword,
I'm sure I can protect everyone!
Do you realize how dangerous
this is going to be?
Yeah. But I still want to get the Holy Sword!
I don't want to see anyone else
suffer because of the Demons.
I understand. Go.
Don't worry about Orvelia.
I'll make sure to defend your home.
Clause
Kasel, Frey. You have to
come back in one piece.
Yeah!
Of course, Clause.
There are so many places I want to visit!
And so many things I want to eat!
This isn't a sightseeing trip, you know.
I know!
Anyway, nice to work with both of you!
Yes!
Let's go.
Ready? Off we go!
Our fate is set in motion.
We arrived at the Forest of Elidora
in search of the Holy Sword Aea.
However, the mysterious forest
itself seems to reject us,
The Forest and
the Elves
stubbornly refusing to let us in.
One hundred years have passed
since the Battle of Galluah Plains,
where King Kyle defeated
the Dark Lord Angmund.
The Demons rise again,
threatening the world,
spreading fear and unrest to all.
Kasel finds Clause at the Tower of the Sage,
