SHE'S HOLDING THE CORONATION ON THE VERY DAY SHE ENTERS THE PALACE... THEN USE THE TROOPS WE PREP TO STRIKE THE PALACE AND... SHE MUST BE DESPERATE. YOU KNOW, ATLIND... IF I BECOME KING, THAT MEANS YOU BECOME KING, TOO. WHAT ABOUT BROTHER? HOW COULD I POSSIBLY-- AZEN ALREADY HAS THIS DUCHY AND A FAMILY OF HIS OWN. HE HAS EVERYTHING. HE WAS BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON AND LIVES A LIFE OF COMFORT, A CHOICE HE ALSO MADE. THIS IS ALL FOR MY KINDHEARTED SON, ATLIND. WHO WAS LOOKED DOWN ON ALL HIS LIFE FOR HAVING ONLY ONE EYE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE WORLD. YOUR GRACE, THE FIRE HAS TRAPPED ALL OUR TROOPS! WE'VE ALSO LOST CONTACT WITH THE SOLDIERS WHO WENT TO CENTRAL COMMAND! THE SCOUTS' WHEREABOUTS ARE UNKNOWN! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! HOW COULD A MERE STANDING FORCE AT CENTRAL COMMAND OVERPOWER 4,000 TROOPS?! MOST OF THEIR AVAILABLE FORCES SHOULD'VE BEEN SENT TO THE ROYAL PALACE FOR THE CORONATION! DON'T TELL ME... WAS A SINGLE LYCAN PLATOON ALL THAT WAS GUARDING THE PALACE? IS THAT WHY THEY PULLED BACK SO QUICKLY? Y-YOUR GRACE, WE'RE BEING ATTACKED! A LARGE NUMBER OF TROOPS ARE PUSHING IN THROUGH THE FOREST AND THE ROADS LEADING TO THE PALACE! HOW DID THE CENTRAL COMMAND'S TROOPS GET HERE SO FAST?! TAKE YOUR BATTLE POSITIONS! PREPARE FOR AN ASSAULT! FIGHT BACK!! DO NOT RETREAT! THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM! THIS IS FAR T-- A LETTER FROM HER MAJESTY HAS ARRIVED! Duke Kiel, Hasn’t this little deviation gone on long enough? In recognition of your many years of service to Pharnas, I am willing to overlook this just once. Lay down your arms. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to bring the hammer down upon you. Choose wisely. P.S. I am no longer at the palace, so don’t waste your effort. IS SHE MOCKING ME?! EVEN IF I DIE HERE, I WILL NOT SURRENDER. KILL THE MESSENGER. THAT WILL BE MY ANSWER TO HER! DUKE KIEL, CEASE NOW IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO REGRET THIS! ATLIND...? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! PUT MY SON DOWN AT ONCE! NO, PLEASE, NO, N-NO, STOP, S-STOP, NO! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU, DON'T! WILL YOU SURRENDER TO SAVE YOUR SON... ...OR CONTINUE TO RESIST, EVEN IF IT MEANS HIS DEATH? YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, SHOULD KNOW WHICH WAY THE SCALES HAVE TIPPED. YOU'VE LOST. ADMIT IT. I'M SORRY, FATHER... I'M SO SORRY... SO THIS IS HOW MY LIFE'S DREAM... ...AND RESOLVE... ...MEET THEIR END. I SURRENDER. WHY DOES THE ROYAL FAMILY'S SECRET PASSAGE CONNECT TO A PLACE LIKE THIS? IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR YOU TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOUR MAJESTY. HAVING SOMEWHERE TO HIDE AT ALL IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. YOU'RE A SOLDIER, YET YOU SEEM OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT HERE. BEING A SOLDIER DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO ENJOY FILTH. I CAN'T STAND BUGS. OH, IS THAT SO? LOOK, A CRICKET! !! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WANT TO HIT ME. YOU'RE NOT DENYING IT. IS IT REALLY THAT BAD? I'M SORRY... SEEING ONE AGAIN AFTER SO LONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. JUST WHAT KIND OF MEMORIES COULD YOUR MAJESTY POSSIBLY HAVE WITH A CRICKET? HAVE YOU EVER TRIED EATING ONE? PLEASE DON'T TEASE ME...
