Ranking of Kings (2021) s01e03 Episode Script
The New King
1
You won't be able to walk for some time.
I'll come and see you tomorrow, too.
I'll get going.
This person…
Could it be that…
The moon is so beautiful.
I can't believe
you are still in the castle.
You should have escaped
when you had the chance.
Crap!
Father…
The king had left a will.
The next king will be…
Prince Bojji.
How could that be?
What is that?
Wh-What?
Magic Mirror!
Welcome back, Prince Daida.
It's my brother.
My brother will be the king!
No. You will be the king, Prince Daida.
But…
Everything is under my control.
So Prince Bojji will be
the next king after all?
I'd rather have Prince Daida
as the king though.
I hereby announce the new king
on account of King Boss's will.
The new king will be…
Prince Daida!
I am revoking the king's will.
What did you say?
Are you opposing Prince Bojji
to be the heir to the throne?
Do you guys seriously think
Bojji has what it takes to be the king?
I…
Are you disobeying King Boss's will?
After seeing that monster,
how could I still obey his will?
With the seven people present here,
we will vote for the next king.
Please close your eyes
and place your hands forward.
Those who think Bojji is suited to be
the king, raise your index finger.
Please open your eyes.
Both of us voted for Daida.
The vote is five to two.
Daida will be the king.
Domas!
Why?
P-Prince Bojji!
It hurts…
That jerk.
Don't you look down on me!
I'd better get out of here.
You've got some guts,
cutting your own body to get away.
But,
I can't let that happen.
Who requested your service?
Who are you here to kill?
If you don't answer me,
you won't survive this time.
I told you I won't kill anyone!
I just want to help Bojji.
Do you mean Prince Bojji?
Prince Bojji.
Do you happen to know this creature?
I see. He's a friend of yours.
I have a message from him.
He will be going on a journey soon.
He will never see you again.
I came here to tell you this.
I shall take my leave.
No matter what happens,
I will stay by your side.
He will never see you again.
Did you wish to see me, King Daida?
I will come first in the Ranking of Kings.
To achieve that,
I have to eliminate all uncertainties.
Apis and Sandeo
did not vote for me, did they?
How did you know that?
Don't underestimate me.
You will take care of them!
Dead men tell no tales.
This doesn't sound like King Daida.
What has the Magic Mirror
been telling him?
P-Prince Bojji!
It's been so long, Prince Bojji.
My master, Lord Bebin has indeed
captured that creature.
I haven't forgotten what you did for me.
But I can't betray Lord Bebin
whom I am also indebted to.
Prince Bojji.
He is safe.
Lord Bebin made a deal with him.
He has assigned him an important task.
Therefore, he is now on a journey.
I cannot reveal any more than that.
But there is one thing that is true.
There are many who admire you.
Please do not forget this.
All right. You should leave.
I do not want Lord Bebin
to know about this.
Is this an order from King Daida?
King Daida…
I will make Prince Bojji the king.
King Daida, please be prepared.
You fired Apis and Sandeo?
I have Bebin.
I do not need the King's Spear.
As for Sandeo,
doesn't he always disagree with you?
Still, you can't just…
Mother, we'll leave it at that.
What do we do about my brother?
What do you mean?
To be honest, he's a hindrance.
Perhaps he can move to somewhere remote--
We can't!
That kid is still too young.
I have to be the one to educate him.
But I think he's miserable.
He will be fine.
You are the king.
You just have to stand firm.
You're right. I'll do that.
Bojji!
You mustn't!
You can't just go out there and travel.
What can you do by yourself?
You can't hear,
and you don't have the strength!
You will just embarrass yourself
when you get out there.
Just stay in the castle!
Besides, you are the king's older brother.
You need to know your place and let Daida…
Prince Bojji.
Queen Hiling left an order.
We can't let you out.
Bojji, I'm coming in.
What are you doing?
Drusi!
Don't do that! It's dangerous!
Bojji!
Queen Hiling!
Look at him.
But I think he's miserable.
Nice to meet you, I'm Hiling.
I will be your mother from now on.
What?
Seriously? Isn't that rude?
Since the former queen passed away,
he hasn't been opening up to anyone.
That is how he usually is.
Is that so?
Prince, what are you doing?
Prince, do you want cakes?
Prince, you have to dry yourself!
Okay, okay.
Prince Bojji has been close
to the new queen recently.
Bojji, you will be a big brother soon.
Look. He moved, didn't he?
Quiet.
But now things are clear.
This child has no right to be the king.
You mustn't!
That's out of the question!
I will allow you to travel.
However…
there will be two people accompanying you.
First will be the swordmaster, Domas.
The other person is…
What was your name again?
My name is Hokuro, Your Majesty!
He's the only soldier who volunteered
and knows sign language.
Hokuro will take care of
your daily routine.
Your destination will be my hometown.
You will come back
after greeting my parents.
What's wrong?
Say something if you understood…
H-Hurry up and pack your things!
Let's go.
Queen Hiling.
What is this?
I have a bad feeling.
A bad feeling?
I have a feeling that
I will never see Bojji again.
And…
And Daida, too.
You won't be able to walk for some time.
I'll come and see you tomorrow, too.
I'll get going.
