King's Raid: Successors of the Will (2020) s01e10 Episode Script

Individual Motives

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.
Scarlet, princess of Orvelia,
allows the Black Edge to join
the Knights of Orvelia.
Through their victories against the Demons,
the Black Edge begins to gain
the trust of the townsfolk.
What is this? They totally flipped on us.
Don't trust the people of Orvelia.
Yeah, I know.
"Individual Motives"
The Black Edge are back!
They're greeting us like heroes.
After all those cold glares
they gave us, now this.
I can't trust them.
Right.
Come on, this is better
than being bad-mouthed.
All the people of Orvelia should just die.
I have to go somewhere.
Go ahead without me.
Sure.
--Hey.
--Hmm?
Wasn't there a girl here before?
Oh, you mean Sheila?
She works at the confectionary
at the end of the street.
Why don't you pay her a visit?
Okay.
Hey, Riheet! How was the King's Forest?
Nothing out of the ordinary.
I see, understood.
I've already submitted my report.
I'm so glad you're such a hard worker.
By the way, I wanted to thank you.
For what?
You saved my younger friends from
the Demons at the King's Forest.
The apprentice knight Kasel
and the priestess Frey.
I wanted to thank you on their behalf.
I don't remember your friends.
How are you feeling, Father?
Ah Seeing your face makes me feel better.
I'm sorry I can't stay at your side.
Worry not. Behl has told me about the knights.
Is this Black Edge group trustworthy?
Yes. They were brought in
by Lord Moriham himself,
and moreover, their Demon
hunting results speak for themselves.
El Moriham
How does he have connections
with dark elves?
Like your mother, you do not
know how to doubt people.
That worries me.
Please don't worry about me.
Please rest, Father.
Get well soon and show
the people that you are healthy.
Yes
Are you all right? You seem pale.
Thank you I'm fine.
You've been working non-stop recently,
with hardly any sleep.
I'm worried that you might
There's no time for rest now.
The Day of Lea approaches.
Will the Dark Lord Angmund really appear?
I don't know. But for now,
we must assume the worst and prepare.
Yes.
Your presence beside me is such a great help
If you had led a noble's daughter's life,
you could have avoided fighting the Demons.
Do you remember this, Your Highness?
A while ago, when I saw you
furiously training with your sword,
I had the audacity to ask you this question.
Why do you, a princess,
need to take up a sword?
To that, you replied,
"The duty of the royal family
is to protect the nation,
not to wear a dress and learn dancing."
Yes, I remember.
When I saw the determined look
in your eyes, I swore an oath.
If you must take up the sword,
then I shall become your shield.
Demia
I will protect you, Your Highness.
Ah, you've returned from the King's Forest.
Good work.
Yes.
I'd like to have a word with you.
Demia, go ahead without me.
Yes.
Hey, it's the Black Edge!
Whoa!
What are you doing here?
Oh, just, nothing
Sheila! Someone from the Black Edge is here!
Hey! Shut up!
It's you.
Um, hello
As you suggested, we're sending troops
out to the countryside for defense.
That is a good decision.
It's like you said.
Too much of Orvelia is
centered around the nobles.
I need to think more about the people.
Back when my father was healthy,
he was fighting in wars all the time
and was rarely in the castle.
Father sacrificed himself to defend against
all who attempted to invade Orvelia.
However, he left domestic affairs almost
solely in the hands of the nobles.
This is the result.
A select few nobles have their way,
while the common townsfolk are ignored.
I must defend my people,
in my father's stead.
I believe that is my duty.
I'm counting on you.
Thank you.
You're always wearing
an invisible coat of armor.
I have never seen you take it off.
Perhaps that is the same for you?
Perhaps.
Why are you willing to fight Demons for us?
I don't think it's just for the money.
Isn't there another reason?
Taking down Demons is
the only thing I can do.
That's why I fight them. That's all.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
It took me a while to get out of work.
No, I'm sorry I visited unannounced.
That's not a problem.
Anyway, why did you come to see me?
Well
Here.
You came all the way here
just to return this?
That time, I didn't even ask your name,
so I had no way of returning it.
I'm Sheila. You are?
Tamm Oh, I washed it
properly, by the way.
Thanks. How's the wound?
Oh, it's fine now.
I'm glad. I don't know what happened,
but I was worried.
Normally, I would easily take
all those guys down!
I know, next time,
I'll treat you to a handmade snack.
Huh?
You're fighting Demons for us.
I want to thank you.
I don't mind, I guess
Finally, a decent meal!
Yeah, we've been out in
the King's Forest for too long.
Tonight, I'm drinking until I get sick!
I'm so hungry!
Where were you?
O-Oh, I just had a little
I hope you weren't at a special store
that kids aren't supposed to be in!
No way!
Seriously.
As Ophelia the astrologer said, the Day of Lea,
the Goddess of Darkness, approaches.
Perhaps the Dark Lord
is coming back to our world.
We won't let that happen!
Of course. We must stop
the Dark Lord's return, no matter what.
I want everyone's wisdom on how to do this.
Is there any way to know where
this resurrection might take place?
Yes. Here.
The ruins of the Republic of Gray,
on the Galluah Plains
Where the Dark Lord appeared 100 years ago.
We should go there to investigate.
Yes. But we cannot go as
a small group this time.
If there is someone there plotting
the return of the Dark Lord,
we must remove that threat immediately.
Please allow us to be the vanguard.
We are not accustomed to the outskirts.
I believe they are well-suited.
Understood. Let us prepare for the expedition.
Yes.
Ta-da!
I think I did a pretty good job.
Oh, thanks I haven't had a cake in years.
Don't you eat cakes on
your birthday or something?
Oh I don't celebrate my birthday.
Huh?
Nevermind.
Hey, um Is it okay for you to be with me?
Why not?
Like, won't someone speak badly of you?
The Black Edge are heroes
that protect Orvelia.
Nobody has a problem with that,
and I won't let them, either.
But I am a dark elf, so
Who cares? You're you!
Come on, eat up!
Uh, right Thanks.
How is it?
Yes, it's delicious!
Great.
There's more.
Y-Yeah!
I'm back.
What's going on? Where's dinner?
Why were you out so late?
I needed to go shopping,
and the place was kind of far away.
So then I got lost and
You--!
Stop lying! We know you're
sneaking out to meet a girl!
What did you tell her?!
N-None of your business!
What? You!
--Stop.
--What's going on?
He was meeting with an Orvelian girl in secret.
He even lied to us to do it!
I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys.
But she's really a nice person!
Get up.
That was careless of you.
But this time, I trust you.
Riheet
This is an important time for all of us.
You know that, right?
Yeah
Take a step back--
think about what needs to be done.
Got it
You're an idiot.
Shut up.
Don't act selfishly.
Things are going well,
but your actions disturb the others.
I really appreciated it.
Nobody ever thanked us before, so
Don't get the wrong idea.
We're not doing this for the thanks.
I know!
But everyone is happy. Sheila, too
So Sheila's the name of the girl
who stole your heart.
Is this how you want to be forever?
Have you ever thought about becoming happy,
instead of living only for revenge?
My brother will become
the leader of this nation,
and force those who have
subjugated dark elves to obey him.
Realizing that is my wish.
The thought of becoming happy
by myself never crossed my mind.
Every moment after our parents were killed,
my brother protected me.
It'll only be a bit more.
We'll arrive at a town by tomorrow.
There shouldn't be any Orvelian soldiers there.
What's wrong?
I'm hungry.
I have a little bit of bread left. Here.
But then you won't have any
I'll be fine, I'm not hungry.
Go ahead and eat.
Okay
It's delicious
From that day on, I wanted to be
able to help my brother.
I made the decision to join
the Black Edge all by myself.
Ripine
What do you think is the opposite of revenge?
I don't know
I think it's to forgive.
Forgive
I don't know what kind of person Sheila is.
But she is an Orvelian--
that will never change.
Can you accept everything?
Can you forgive the people of Orvelia?
If you want to be happy, even if it means
leaving the Black Edge, I won't stop you.
But if you get in my brother's way
Then I will kill you.
Yeah. I understand.
Sheila!
You're late. What's wrong?
Sorry.
Here This is for the cake.
So pretty
I've never given anyone a present before,
so I had no idea what to get
I like this a lot. Thank you.
I couldn't tell you properly before,
but I don't like my own birthday.
Huh?
When I was small, my mother
baked us a cake on my birthday.
It was a small thing, with just
some sugar on top, but I was so happy.
My little brothers wanted to dive right in,
but I said, "Let's wait for Dad to come home."
Dad was very late, though.
When he finally came back
and I opened the door for him,
he was covered in blood.
"Run, now," he said. And then he died.
Right after that, Orvelian soldiers came
and set fire to our village.
The soldiers claimed our town was
full of those plotting an attack on Orvelia.
But that was a lie
They were clearly enjoying the massacre.
That's terrible
My mother died protecting me,
and my brothers, too
I still regret that I let them die hungry.
I don't remember how I got out of the village.
I ran blindly, and got rescued by
my current crew, who also got away.
After that, I've been afraid of my birthday.
It brings back those memories
I didn't want to make you sad with this story.
But there is an invisible barrier between us.
And there's no way to take that barrier away.
Wait!
Then why do you fight the Demons for Orvelia?
I don't do it for Orvelia. We're not heroes.
But I will change this world.
Into a world without sadness.
Goodbye, Sheila.
Everything is going smoothly.
You all went from cold stares to hero.
I'm sure it makes your drinks taste better.
Once the Demons are gone,
everyone will forget what we did.
That's why we need absolute status.
That must be the Red Valley.
This is where the Orcs live.
Yes, it is. We're almost there!
Yeah.
I hear the Orcs are
aggressive and love to fight.
They say that the valley
gets its name from the red color
dyed by all the Orc blood spilled in wars.
I don't know if that's true,
but there's no doubt that approaching
the orcs requires caution.
Yeah.
The wails of the dead echo in the Red Valley.
The Demonic threat was already
present at Ogria Mountain.
Driven by distrust and hatred,
the Orcs point their swords towards us.
"Orcish Pride"
Driven by distrust and hatred,
the Orcs point their swords towards us.
