King's Raid: Successors of the Will (2020) s01e07 Episode Script
The Target of Hatred
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
and spreading fear and unrest to all.
The Black Edge band of mercenaries
were hired by Orvelia
to hunt down the Demonic invaders.
However, their true goal
is to exact revenge on Orvelia.
I want you to perform feats
more impressive than the knights.
I will lay the groundwork for you.
Yes, understood.
"The Target of Hatred"
You're back.
Yes. The mission was a success.
Good. Behl wants to see you--
he said he has business with you.
With me?
Behl is speaking with the astrologer.
The kingdom will soon launch
a formal operation to hunt demons.
It will surely provide you with
more opportunities to show your powers.
Are you sure, Ophelia?
Yes. The day of Lea,
the Goddess of Darkness, approaches.
On that day, when the "nocturnal sun"
crosses with the moon,
terror will engulf this world.
That's what the stars say?
Yes, Princess Scarlet.
So Angmund, the Dark Lord, is returning?
That is what the stars whisper to me.
Unlike 100 years ago, Orvelia does not
have the Holy Sword Aea, or King Kyle.
The king has fallen ill, so there is
no way for us to resist the Dark Lord.
Worry not, Behl.
We the knights of Orvelia will defend
the kingdom in father's stead.
I will not let some Dark Lord
trample over Orvelia!
Ophelia, continue to keep track
of the movements of the stars.
Yes.
You're
You've returned.
Yes. I heard you wanted to speak to me.
I wanted you to meet
the commander in chief of the knights.
You must be Riheet of the Black Edge?
Who are you?
Mind your tongue!
This is her royal highness, Princess Scarlet!
I have been told about your help
with hunting down the Demons.
I was the one that asked Behl
for an opportunity to meet you.
Princess Scarlet is also
the commander in chief of the knights.
I've heard that your men are quite useful.
I want the Black Edge to join us knights.
From now on, we will ask you
to coordinate with us. Is that acceptable?
Of course, that would be
a true honor, Princess Scarlet.
I was told that you would be very hard
to deal with, but you seem honest.
There is a regular meeting
tomorrow morning. Join us.
We're joining the knights?!
Yes.
That's a huge step up from grunt mercenary!
We did it!
I'm not glad to get a dumb promotion.
Our goal is to take over
and control Orvelia, remember?
Joining the knights means being able
to trick them and take them out quickly.
O-Oh, I see.
Everyone, be even more alert than before.
Don't cause any trouble in town.
Yeah, understood.
Try to keep up your good boy act, Tamm.
Stop treating me like a child!
But you are a child.
--I'm not a child!
--Who would have expected, though,
that the princess is the commander?
--I'm not a child!
--Who would have expected, though,
that the princess is the commander?
--Yuck, you sneezed on me!
--Who would have expected, though,
that the princess is the commander?
--How childish of you.
--Yeah
--How childish of you.
She doesn't appear easy to deal with,
unlike the others.
Demonic activity is rising
steadily, day over day.
Perhaps the astrologer is right,
and the Demon Lord is coming back soon.
The only thing we can do for now is
to hunt down the Demons that appear.
You're here.
This is Riheet, from the Black Edge.
As you know, they have fought
numerous Demons in defense of Orvelia.
He will be joining us as an ally of the knights!
I beg your pardon, but I must speak!
They are dark elves. Surely you must
be aware that they are the same race as Ilya,
who defiled Lua, the Goddess of Light!
Yes, of course I do.
I also know Ilya's crimes have
nothing to do with the Black Edge.
Any who oppose the addition of
the Black Edge as allies, speak now!
I have no opposition, Princess.
It would be reassuring
to have you join us knights.
Is there anything else that
you must speak about, Zierro?
No, Your Highness.
Oh, I know! I can use your services right away.
There are dirty rats scurrying
around in town these days.
We would love to get your help
to chase them out of Orvelia.
Hey!
I heard you will do anything for money.
Of course I will pay you handsomely.
Keep that, as a down payment.
Zierro!
If the Demons infiltrate this place,
no amount of money can help you.
Perhaps you should shift your
focus away from your rats,
and towards a plan to defeat the Demons.
Starting from today,
the Black Edge are our friends.
I will not condone anyone who
insult them or disrespect them.
Mark my words, all of you!
Yes!
Yes
Let's resume our meeting.
Demia, you mentioned that
you have new information?
Yes. Numerous Demons were sighted
near the Forest of Elidora.
What should our first move be?
I'd like to hear your opinion.
We should first send in
some scouts to investigate.
However
At the same time, we should also
heavily reorganize the defending knights.
Why is that?
The castle and surrounding town
are well defended,
but the highways and other
regions are defenseless.
It is almost like we are only interested
in defending ourselves,
and nobody else.
I see. You do indeed have a keen eye.
Why?! Why should those dark elves
be allowed to join the knights?!
What do you want, Zierro?
Father, honored guests, I must speak with you.
I understand your argument.
It is not ideal for us either to
have dark elves defend Orvelia.
However, we have no choice
but to get their help.
Agreed. Princess Scarlet also has
high hopes for the Black Edge.
We cannot ignore them.
Father!
The decision has already been made.
Once the Demons are gone,
so will our need for the Black Edge.
Until then, you must be patient.
Ah, I forgot to buy drinks.
Go ahead without me.
All right.
Give me this one. How much?
Oh.
You guys took out the Demons, right?
Huh?
Go ahead, enjoy the bread.
It's on me.
You heard the man--go ahead, take it.
Uh, sure
What is this? They totally flipped on us.
I suppose I don't mind getting free stuff.
What do you want?
Don't cause any trouble in town.
Who are you?!
We don't need dark elves in this town.
You're nothing but trouble!
We've got to exterminate dirty rats!
You--!
Let's go!
You're not getting away!
Hey, get up!
You have a fever!
What's wrong?!
You're hurt! Are you okay?!
Good.
I'll get a doctor!
There is no need.
But
We're considered troublemakers here.
I don't want to cause more commotion.
Can you walk, Tamm?
Y-Yeah
Here, hold on.
Why didn't you tell anyone about your fever?
--Sorry.
--Come on.
I'm impressed that you held back, Tamm.
If you had drawn your sword,
it would have made a huge scene.
Those guys called me a rat, but the way
they ran, I'd say they were the rats today.
There are dirty rats scurrying
around in town these days.
Tamm needs to rest.
I'll carry him to the bed.
Thanks.
Who attacked Tamm?!
I'll find out and kill them all!
You do that and we'd all get sentenced to death.
Are you saying we can't do
anything about this?!
Exactly.
Was it someone under Zierro's influence?
According to what my friend heard,
that seemed likely.
It probably was him.
Zierro is one of the candidates
to become Princess Scarlet's betrothed.
He was always eager to score
an accomplishment to get her attention.
Perhaps he is jealous of you.
His father is a timid man, but
The son is quite bold, is he not?
Whatever his reasons, there's no doubt
that he wants us out of Orvelia.
If he succeeds, that would be
bad for you, too, wouldn't it?
Zierro
I will remind the nobles.
You investigate him and try to find evidence.
Understood.
I heard the news from Behl.
Was your friend all right?
Yes. He is fine.
We should be thanking Black Edge
for your help against the Demons.
I'm sorry that this happened to you.
Excuse me, Princess Scarlet.
There are certain papers that
require your signature, immediately.
Understood.
I heard you ran into some trouble yesterday.
Why don't you go look after your friends
instead of loitering here?
Thank you for your trouble.
You are dismissed.
Yes.
Welcome back, Brother.
How is Tamm?
He's much better. Azal and Zucca
are taking turns caring for him.
I see.
What is this?
I think they took this from
the guys that attacked Tamm.
Brother?
Whoa!
What's going on?!
G-Go away!
You recognize this, don't you?
S-So what?!
You sent those men to attack my friend.
I-I don't know what you're talking about!
You'll regret threatening me!
Y-Yes! It's me, I sent my men!
Stop, no!
P-Please, stop!
I promise I won't ever let him do
something stupid! I beg you, forgive him!
Stay away from my friends.
U-Understood!
Thanks for getting them for me, Riheet.
They won't trouble us anymore.
In fact, they should listen to us from now on.
I'm not satisfied yet. I want to kill
everyone that hurt Tamm!
I'm glad we didn't bring you along.
That said, it's good to see that
some of the people in Orvelia have a heart.
What?
I mean, that princess, Scarlet.
I heard she apologized for what
happened to me. I can't believe she's a royal.
Don't be an idiot.
While our families were being murdered,
the princess had a nice life in the castle.
She's no different from those rotten nobles.
Don't trust the people of Orvelia.
Yeah, I know.
It's even more red than usual.
Yeah.
Staring at that star always calms my mind.
Don't cry, Ripine.
Those Orvelian guys enjoy hurting us.
Crying would be giving them
exactly what they want.
But
Hold your head high.
Then the tears won't fall.
Oh
I will avenge our mother, one day.
We've finally come this far, Brother.
Yeah
So, you're finally awake.
It's you, Maria.
The Day of Lea approaches.
Yes. Time to bring back
the Dark Lord, right, Malduk?
Of course. What about the Holy Sword Aea?
I looked all over, but I couldn't find it.
Find it, before we bring the Dark Lord back.
I know.
Now, let's start this exciting banquet!
We stopped by a town and met a girl.
After losing her parents, the girl,
Elise, is drowning in sorrow.
In her eyes, I saw a familiar shadow
