You're sure this is the right route?
What noble doesn't know where the lord's castle is?
If we get lost, I'm leaving you behind.
Excuse me?!
Jeez, you guys. This really isn't the time to fight!
Our mission is to make sure the boss and his master get to the Sanctuary.
You two need to go in first as bait and draw the enemies away,
so keep it together.
And we'll back you up.
Thanks.
Regis...
Rael.
That All May Be as It Should Be
Rozaria-sama...
Seira, what is the meaning of escaping your cell?
I must stop Gejutel-sama's forced eternal sleep.
You can't. Return to your cell.
If you turn back now, I'll keep quiet about your jailbreak.
Please move out of my way.
You refuse to do as I say? When I've been like an elder sister to you?
What a bad girl.
Just like you, Rozaria-sama, I am also a clan leader.
I am prepared to do what I must.
Coming back to Lukedonia against the lord's orders?
You must have a death wish.
Is Seira all right?
She's been confined.
You sold her out?!
You said you loved her!
Shut up! It's all you Landegres' fault, anyway!
Seira just got mixed up in it all!
What do you mean by that?!
Gejutel K. Landegre has been sentenced to forced eternal sleep
for the crimes of communing with the traitor and betraying the lord.
As his grandson, you're equally guilty.
If you come along quietly,
I'll let you keep one arm and one leg intact!
Don't let him trick you!
M-21...
Go, Regis.
You're crazy! You can't do it alone!
Hey, trash! Who said you could run away?
No one leaves here without my—
Don't!
Feisty, aren't we?
Number 3, go now!
Tao?!
Don't worry. We won't go down as easily as last time.
The boss gave us a little good luck charm.
Guys... I owe you one!
I can't believe you hurt me.
A piece of trash like you!
I can't possibly be—
My, what a show you put on.
You have no intention of asking the lord for forgiveness?
I see. So that's your answer.
In that case...
Awaken, Blood Witch!
Honestly... That woman knows no restraint.
Regis?
I'll go.
Don't get careless because he's like a younger brother to you.
Quit sneaking around and show yourself, you filth!
Once I find you, I'll do worse than tear you limb from limb!
Even after taking T2, we can't let our guard down for a second.
We need to get closer, or even this gun won't reach him.
Number 4, it's time to go.
We're really going to do this?
I know you can do it.
You do the same
thing with Regis all the time.
Show yourself, trash!
Don't make me laugh.
For a guy who's done nothing but belittle us, you aren't so tough at all.
Why, you...
Did you know that all three of our ages put together is still not even half your age?
Yikes. And there's our blistering provocation machine.
Bring it on.
Or are you just an old fart who's all talk?
I'll kill you!
I'll rip your heart out of your chest!
And that's a goal!
You filthy piece of trash!
I'm not gonna leave a single speck of you behind!
Grandia!
Are you worried?
I know we can rely on them to do their job quite expertly.
Come, we must hurry.
Master?
Isn't there something you want?
It's not like you to cause such a commotion.
I apologize.
But when I heard that my clan leader betrayed the lord, I had to know—
Regis, leave Lukedonia.
Are you telling me to run away?
Not at all.
You can come back after this has all been proven to be a mistake.
I can't do something so cowardly!
If my clan leader has done something to garner suspicion,
he must have had a reason!
And if his betrayal was deliberate?
If it was, then as a pureblood of the Landegre line,
I will accept any punishment deemed appropriate.
If you are so determined, then get past me.
If you can't even get past me, what can you possibly do for Gejutel-sama?
If your attack even so much as grazes me,
I will assist you in seeing Gejutel-sama.
What do you say?
Karias-sama is giving me the greatest opportunity I could ask for.
Let's get started already. Time is short.
It's impressive that you made me resort to using Grandia.
M-21!
You think that's going to work on me now?
Damn it!
We're not close enough!
That's what garbage gets for butting in.
Die!
Nasty piles of trash!
If you'd stayed hidden, you might have lived a little longer!
You're nothing but trash!
Trash! Garbage!
Stop it.
Don't you touch me with your filthy hands!
You call yourself a noble?
The spoiled brat I know is a true, proud noble.
He wouldn't do anything so cowardly!
You bastard!
Rael, what are you doing?
Brother!
Uh, this is...
You can explain yourself later.
After I take care of these enemies.
What are you talking about? They're already...
You're...
He's done quite a number on you, I see.
Boss!
Rael, do you know him?
Yes. He was there when I went to get Seira.
I let him off the hook out of respect for Seira, but now—
I don't have time for games.
Unlike you, I've lived through countless life-or-death battles,
including one with the previous Kertia clan leader.
What?!
Stand down, Rael.
Brother... But...
If you don't even realize the level he's on, you stand no chance.
Apologies. I was not aware that you had fought our previous leader.
In that case, I must show you the courtesy you are due.
No way! My brother's using a soul weapon?
Resonate, Dark Spear!
Stay back. If you get too close, you will die.
Stop being stubborn and leave Lukedonia now.
Before it's too late.
Not yet.
I can still fight.
I can't afford to give up.
What?
If you let me go, you'll be charged with a serious crime.
I couldn't forgive myself for running away,
knowing that would happen!
Walk a path that you can proudly say was the proper life for a noble.
And above all,
I could never face the people who risked their lives fighting to get me to him!
Father, I'm sure you would object to my fighting him.
But he is the sole cause of this entire chain of events.
I will correct the mistake you made in trusting someone you shouldn't have.
Ludis, bring Gejutel here.
Understood.
Rozaria.
Seira, it's time to go.
The lord is calling.
He disappeared... without a trace.
It's over now.
He'll never find my brother once he's melted into the surroundings.
Bingo.
He actually found him?!
Our boss is so awesome!
Don't get cocky, you garbage!
Boss! You're hurt!
That's what you get for protecting trash, you moron!
Serves you right!
Fool!
If my brother hadn't interfered,
my attack most likely wouldn't have hit you.
Brother!
Understand this.
The Kertia clan's techniques rely on stealth and nothing more.
The soul of the one using them must not be cowardly.
Now I see why your previous clan leader chose you as his successor.
We're just getting started.
I understand your intentions now.
You've done enough.
I'm very sorry...
This is my fault...
Oh, please. You're just a child.
Karias-sama...
Please remember to keep your promise.
Regis, living among humans has really changed you.
Has it?
That's unfortunate...
Seira, did you escape your cell in hopes of protecting Gejutel?
Yes.
If you are confessing to protecting a traitor,
you will also be sentenced to eternal sleep.
Lord!
You can't...
That's going too far!
There'll be no need for that.
Lord, you don't wish to force eternal sleep upon Seira, do you?
That is why you called us all to this sacred place where the previous lords sleep.
Did you think that I would beg for your forgiveness here?
Be silent.
I will not!
Neither he nor Seira has committed any crime!
I see you intend to cover for that traitor to the very end.
Just wait a bit longer.
Soon enough, I will sentence him to eternal sleep here.
That is impossible.
I'm sure you haven't forgotten
about the man who is always by his side.
He isn't even a noble,
yet he has power equaling that of a clan leader,
making him the only human ever to earn the acknowledgment of the previous lord...
Frankenstein.
Just what in the hell are you?
If I had thrown Grandia away and let Kartas absorb its power...
Brother!
Stay back! You'll slow me down!
Brother, take my soul weapon!
If you use it together with your Kartas...
Enough!
Father entrusted that soul weapon to you and you alone.
A soul weapon should only be handed down to the next clan leader,
but Father divided his into two and left one to each of us.
He did something that should never be permitted.
Think about what that means!
It means I have a duty that only I can fulfill, as do you.
And you would let go of that so easily?
Do you want Father's wishes to amount to nothing?!
Your father, Ragar,
is the man who taught me how to use my power.
In all he did, he was strict, silent, in no way lovable... and proud.
You are just like him.
Now, young clan leaders of the Kertia line, who inherited his blood...
Let's continue.
Lord, you do not know anything about Frankenstein, nor about him.
You are not yet ready to be the lord who binds all nobles together.
Gejutel-sama!
Neither of you know why the lord hates that man so, do you?
Because... he's the one who killed the previous lord!
That may be who he is to you,
but the source of Raskreia-sama's hatred...
is because the previous lord offered to make him the next lord.
Raskreia-sama, if I have committed any crime worthy of eternal sleep,
it was failing to guide you in the right direction...
Failing to raise you into a noble worthy of being the lord.
Why did the previous lord have misgivings about making you his successor?
Why did he refuse the previous lord's offer to succeed him?
You have not even made an effort to understand how they truly felt.
You've only let your emotions get the better of you.
So long as you are held captive by this cowardly conceit,
there will be no future for Lukedonia or the nobility!
That's enough!
As a senior clan leader, you deserve our respect,
but we cannot very well believe all that without a second thought!
We will not overlook such insults directed at our lord!
Gejutel-sama...
I suppose the hearts of these young clan leaders have reached you, if nothing else.
I have spoken far longer than I should have.
Please do what you feel must be done now.
Very well.
I shall sentence you to eternal sleep at once.
You have made the right decision.
The soul weapon...
Ragnarok!
On my name as the lord,
leader of the Landegre clan, Gejutel K. Landegre,
I sentence you to eternal sleep.
Wrong room.
