Ranking of Kings (2021) s01e09 Episode Script
The Queen and the Shield
1
Hiling.
You probably think
you're looking at your son Daida.
But I am Boss.
What?
Daida, what in the world
are you talking about?
It's me.
Impossible… How did this happen?
If you are King Boss, where is Daida?
Where is Daida?
I don't know.
Queen Hiling!
Daida…
Daida…
Daida…
Do not let Queen Hiling out of her room.
Do you understand?
King Boss.
Drusi.
Why did you relegate my position as
the King's Spear to the Queen's guard?
The kingdom is at peace under your rule.
What do I need to protect the queen from?
King Boss.
Just stay by her side for now.
If you think that the queen
doesn't deserve protection,
I'll reconsider it.
I have lost King Boss's trust…
You will be my guard?
Yes.
You look so huge and unkempt.
Fine. There's nothing I can do about it
since this is King Boss's order.
But don't come too close to me.
But I am your guard.
I can't stay too far from you.
I am the queen!
Are you going to disobey me?
I am sorry.
Look.
What's the matter with Prince Bojji?
You see, I want to be that child's mother.
But it's not that easy.
Besides, he seems to be wary of me.
So if you stand next to me,
he will never let his guard down.
Prince, help yourself to some cake.
Wait!
Prince… Have some cake…
Have… some cake…
Cake…
How can he run so fast?
Hey!
This means "How have you been?"
Like this?
Yes, that's right.
Prince, how have you been?
Prince!
I can't get to him at all!
I… I am sorry!
No, I didn't have enough practice.
I am sorry.
Please teach me again.
Y-Yes.
The queen can be a little clumsy.
You think you have lost my trust,
don't you?
You are too gentle.
Apis is dispassionate and calm,
and therefore more suited to
serve the king by his side.
So, do you think Hiling
is worthy to be protected?
That is disrespectful to the queen.
What do you think, Drusi?
Though I am in no place
to decide on such affairs…
Yes, she is.
Everyone deserves to be protected.
He's just right for the position.
Indeed.
When did she start to get along with him?
It's fine.
He's supposed to protect us.
It can't be helped.
He has to get used to you.
Don't worry. Leave it on me.
Very well.
Let's jog!
Let's go!
Look. He caught up to us.
Queen Hiling.
By the way, you are quite slow.
Can you really protect me?
Definitely.
I'm capable of protecting you.
This is bad.
I can't just be on defense.
In this case…
Come on!
These demons are agile and powerful.
A group attack can even
defeat the Gigantes.
This is a charm spell used by witches.
Drusi is slow.
He is no match for those demons.
But if he takes off his armor,
he will only get killed
by those claws and fangs.
Drusi won't be able to protect Hiling.
Someone released the demons
to kill Hiling.
I authorized it.
Between Hiling and I, who will you follow?
He ordered me to protect the queen.
But now…
King Boss, what exactly are you planning?
It's not the end yet…
I can't… let down my guard…
Impossible.
What's wrong?
I can't sense the demons anymore.
The assassination has failed.
Is that so?
Miranjo, let's enjoy this moment.
King Boss…
Oh, King Boss…
I am so happy.
Finally…
My magical power is insufficient.
I am useless.
That's not true.
King Boss.
I will go to the Underworld right away
and gather the demons.
Please allow my temporary departure.
Miranjo, what drives you to keep going?
Well…
I am sorry.
I do want to realize your wish.
I am a distorted existence.
Me, too. Not only am I distorted…
I'm also hideous.
No, Miranjo.
You are pure-hearted and beautiful.
It's fine.
Don't worry. I am here.
Am I dead?
How can you be dead?
There's me.
I-I am deeply sorry!
I will repay you for saving my life.
No need for that.
Didn't you already save me?
It's done.
Thank you.
I will stand against King Boss.
I will get Daida back.
This isn't working.
No matter how far I walk…
I just can't get out.
Will I be imprisoned
in this dark prison forever?
No… I don't want to. I won't have it!
Depart to the Underworld once again.
I'll make the strong ones serve me,
and create a new era
that belongs to King Boss and me!
Queen Hiling, please wait.
We can't be sure if it's King Boss
who attempted to assassinate you.
Queen Hiling!
But he's certainly involved in this.
I will ask him directly.
Queen Hiling…
King Boss, what exactly is your goal?
It's nothing important.
What do you mean it's not important?
You snatched Daida's body.
Daida is our son!
Yes, you are right.
How can you still be calm
like it has nothing to do with you?
You are dead!
Return Daida to me right now!
It's not too late.
What happened to your dignity?
As the king…
No, as a father…
Do you not feel ashamed?
King Boss!
-Where is Daida? Answer me!
-There's a voice. I heard something.
That voice…
Mother! Mother!
What's wrong?
I heard it…
Mother!
Daida!
Daida, where are you?
Daida!
Mother!
Daida! Daida!
Mother!
Daida!
Mother…
Mother!
Daida! You are there, aren't you?
Daida?
Daida! I am here!
Mother!
You are safe, Daida.
Don't worry. I will get you out.
Drusi, Daida is right here!
He's asking for help.
Drusi, get Daida out of there!
What are you staring at? He's right here!
Didn't you hear his voice?
Queen Hiling.
I hear nothing.
Queen Hiling!
Why did you stop me?
Daida is right here!
But that is also King Daida's body.
Drusi!
I am sorry, Queen Hiling.
Drusi.
Hiling won't be assaulted for now.
But she won't be able to
escape death next time.
If she wants to stay alive,
she has to leave this kingdom.
And…
wait for the right time.
What will happen when the time comes?
I am also resigning myself to fate.
-Go.
-Yes.
I can't hear anything now.
How can it be?
No way…
No! I won't have it!
I refuse!
Someone help me…
It's her…
It's all her fault…
Unforgivable.
I will kill you.
I will kill you, Magic Mirror!
But how do I get out of here?
I can't see or hear anything.
I'm fighting this
overwhelming feeling of unease.
Is this what it feels like
in my brother's world?
Hiling.
You probably think
