Good for you. You've finally mastered my power, haven't you?
All by yourself, without anyone else's help,
you shot right through that bedrock.
Bertrand...
I...
Pardon the intrusion.
Legions of voices, multitudes of dreams
Step over them all
Tailwinds, blow hard against our backs
"Lord Marksman and Vanadis"
Up in the skies, stars
Down on the ground, the remains of dreams
Grinding footsteps and the soul's chagrin
are the only route there is to glory
Wind, O wind, whip our hearts aflame
Blazing torches raised to skies that herald victory
What could possibly be gained
by stopping our march?
It is only in our surviving
that we can show we are right
Legions of troops, multitudes of convictions,
onto the swirling battlefield
Until the farthest reaches of the skies are calm,
turn your wailing and anger to strength,
and become a silver flash of wind
I'll come right to the point. What do you want to do?
Could you ask me tomorrow?
If I wait until tomorrow, you will have already decided on your answer.
Not of your own will,
but because you had no choice, due to time constraints.
It's not impossible for you to chuck this whole war right here.
Thenardier may even sit at the bargaining table,
depending on the conditions.
It would protect Alsace.
What about your objective?
I will do what I will about my own objective. That much is given.
Mm-hmm, that's right.
Whatever we decide to do, and however we decide to act,
I am determined to fight a battle I can take pride in. That's all.
A battle you can take pride in?
That's right.
My pride as a warrior, which is always within me.
At one time, I was a mercenary.
I had no homeland to return to,
and just kept wandering the land, looking for another battlefield.
My friends would all die at some point. I really had nothing.
That is why I kept my pride. To let me be who I am.
Pride...
If you have your pride, then I have my mettle!
The mettle I have gotten from my father, and many others,
as Tigrevurmud Vorn!
Mettle...
Yeah, you're right. It lets me be who I am.
Titta...
Thank you. I know I must have worried you.
I'm sorry.
Lord Tigre!
Once this war is over, we'll go back to Alsace and hold a funeral...
...and have a long talk about Bertrand.
Right! Right!
Apparently, Bertrand was concerned that I wasn't taking any notice
of what was going on outside of Alsace.
But at the end, he seemed to have been relieved.
Hmm. Well, it's about time you realized
the other reason why I've been helping you.
Huh?
One that's not just sentimental-- a more practical reason.
More practical?
Why did Muozinel attack Brune in the south?
Why did they try to take control of the port town?
Well, to be a center of trade... Hmm?
Do you see where the course of things are heading?
The various courses, separate from the war?
Various... courses...?
The Vosyes Mountains...
If you could maintain a highway connecting Alsace and Leitmeritz,
then Leitmeritz would be...
Mm-hmm.
War is not just for obtaining land and wealth.
By opening new roads, and gaining new cultures and products,
it also makes your own territory more bountiful.
And Alsace...
...would also change, right? For better, and for worse.
However, that largely depends on how capable the person
who governs that territory takes a broad view of what is happening.
A broad view of what is happening, huh?
Hey, there...
How long have you been there?
Th-This Bruneman couldn't concentrate on his work, so...
This denizen of Zhcted was acting so fidgety, it was distracting.
We've all been waiting for you.
There you have it.
Thanks, everyone.
Prime minister of the Kingdom of Brune,
Pierre Badouin, at your service.
I'm so relieved that you are safe, Princess Regin.
I heard everything that happened from His Majesty.
Is that right?
It's a pleasure to meet you, Prime Minister.
Oh, no.
You once accompanied your father to the palace.
It has been too long, Sir Tigrevurmud.
Oh...
So, what brings you here, Badouin?
His Majesty, the king, has come around.
It appears that he was poisoned by Duke Ganelon.
What?!
Sir Tigrevurmud,
would you mind telling me what your intentions are?
What do you plan to do hereafter?
I will fight Duke Thenardier, and strike him down.
And have you any designs on Brune?
No.
Once I have assured the safety of Alsace,
I will go to Zhcted as their prisoner.
H-Hold on! I'm sure we can dress that up to sound better!
Yes, indeed. If you like, I could accept you as a guest of honor.
You shut up, pipsqueak!
No, you be quiet!
Are you really doing this just to protect Alsace?
I am.
But, there is one thing I'd like to say.
If it will keep the peace in Alsace,
I would not be averse to Alsace becoming a part of Zhcted.
Well then, Badouin, what would you have us do?
Take Her Highness with you and hurry to Nice.
His Majesty's life will probably not hold out much longer.
Duke Thenardier
will probably try to block us from entering the royal capital.
It's the final showdown.
The two armies clash on the wilds of Mereville.
Do not be concerned.
The knightly order has the right flank,
while Ryurik and the Zhcted forces are holding the left flank.
And the center--
No, I wonder if I should really be the supreme commander here.
Sir Tigrevurmud ought to...
This battle is to allow you to enter the capital, Your Highness.
And you, Your Highness, deserve to command it.
Right.
We definitely have the upper hand. However...
The command of Thenardier's army is much too clumsy.
I suspected it was a trap at first,
but it appears that word of the enemy commander
dying at the Holy Grotto is proving to be true.
Still, Duke Thenardier should be here, commanding them personally--
He is not.
And the result is there to see.
You don't mean...!
So, you've come.
"Vosyes Mountains" A mountain range that separates the kingdoms of Brune and Zhcted. There is a route through them which connects Leitmeritz and Alsace, but it is ill-suited for transporting goods. -> Elen's goals
Knight of the Moonlight "Lumiere"
If I had gone to the capital, I might have won.
Hole up in the castle, buy some time,
arrange my troops, and work up some tactics...
But that time has now passed.
Why did you...
Why did you attack Alsace?
If I had control of Alsace,
I could prevent interference from Zhcted.
Even more assuredly if I torched the land, and drove the people out.
That's the reason you did it?
That's the reason.
The fact is, you're the one who invited the Zhcted army in.
And if you hadn't, that miserable Ganelon would have done so.
That man and Zhcted have a history together.
Though I do, as well.
There really is no way that I can forgive you.
Nor do I intend to forgive you for slaying my son.
You have mastered my power.
If you desire, that power could...
More power...
Hey.
I'm not saying don't seek vengeance.
But do not become intoxicated with hatred.
That's the last thing to use as a weapon.
Laddy!
Avenging his son, huh?
I'll be right back.
You're facing me with a single arrow?
I won't need a second one.
If anything, it would weaken my resolve.
Very well.
Goddess of wind and storms...
Lost your nerve?!
Vorn!
But... how...?
The... wind...
Brune...
Was that wind just now you?
Oh, no? It wasn't?
Tigre won on his own.
He made the wind his ally.
Yeah, you're right.
And so, the war that had started at Dinant for Tigre
had come to a close.
The bow has been left in your charge.
Go ahead and increase your power as much as you like.
We will be departing momentarily, Duke Ganelon.
Oh, long time no see,
Lady Valentina Glinka Estes. I am in your debt.
Yes, glad to help.
Come to think of it, today is the triumphant homecoming, huh?
The one for Count Tigrevurmud Vorn.
--Ha ha ha! --It's too loud!
--Long live Brune! --Long live Count Vorn!
--Count Vorn! --Long live the princess!
You look good this way, Sir Tigrevurmud.
Y-Yes, I'm fine!
Er, I uh...
Most handsome.
Oh, I mean...
...wearing clothes I'm not accustomed to makes me... how can I say?
Ordinarily, I should be the one sitting next to Tigre.
Yes. Me, too.
Well, no matter. After this, Tigre is coming to Leitmeritz.
Ah, yes. Tigre will be coming--to Zhcted.
You can't let anything go, can you?!
What abou you?!
In here.
Mm-hmm.
An envoy from Zhcted is already in there.
Please...
Sofy!
Elen...
I heard the particulars from Badouin.
I'm sorry, Regin. It's all because, both as a father,
and as a king, I lacked the insight that I needed.
No... No...
I forced the responsibility that should have been mine
entirely onto your shoulders.
Count Vorn, tell me what your wishes are.
I have a request to make.
Tigre put forward four provisions.
At its basis, it was a conventional declaration of victory,
but the land of Agnes, abandoned during the fighting with Muozinel,
"The Kingdom of Brune agrees to cede the land of Agnes to the Kingdom of Zhcted."
would now be ceded to Zhcted.
"Approval is hereby given by Regin Estelle Loire Bastien de Charles."
It was decided that Princess Regin would be signatory.
The establishment of these provisions served to acknowledge
to the Kingdom of Zhcted that Princess Regin
was being recognized as the next ruler.
Count Vorn...
Sire!
There is something I would like to give you, to show my thanks.
I bestow upon you the title of Lumiere, a Knight of the Moonlight.
Th-Thank you very much.
--First meteors, and now moonlight! --Congratulations, Sir Tigrevurmud!
--Isn't that classy! --Congratulations.
--Thanks. --Long live the Knight of the Moonlight!
Come on, show a little cheer!
Hey, we're in His Majesty's presence!
Several days later, King Faron quietly took his last breath.
