You say Eco is in there?
Please, Princess, take me over there!
All right. Lancelot!
What's wrong? Why aren't we going?
It seems to me that Lancelot is aware of something over there.
You can tell?
Well, sort of.
I can sense Lancelot's will.
Are those all Maestros?
What in the world is about to happen? .
Ash!
I knew it. No doubt about it.
I can tell.
That's... Eco!
sekai no domannaka de kimi to deatte
Meeting you smack in the middle of the world

You smiled with a slightly sorrowful look

I... I have nothing

But if it makes you shed less tears

And smile like you mean it

Then be it a hero or anything else

The Star-Branded Dragonar
Who would've believed that the Maestros would reject the control of their masters?
It is utterly disgraceful.
If the Empire were to attack us now,
Lautreamont Knight Country would fall overnight.
However, securing the safety of the guests comes first.
Oh, how can this be?
One of the dragons the Knight Country keeps is destroying my nation's airship!
This is a grave situation, is it not?
Klaus Witershausen?
Nobody asked him.
Just a moment! Our country knows nothing about this monster!
It is too late for that now.
When one says "dragon," one thinks of Lautreamont Knight Country.
Trying to deny responsibility is most unseemly.
Y-You're wrong!
Hm, that's that, apparently.
Hurry! You must evacuate!
Princess, you too. Quickly!
No can do.
We still have a guest here.
You must be Milgauss, the one who was in our report.
Indeed, you do look like Julius.
Take off your mask.
Julius...
No.
Well, more precisely, I may be Julius physically, but on the inside, I'm not.
What do you mean?
I am Mordred.
Mordred?!
That's right.
I am the other mind that dwells within Julius's Pal, Mordred.
The true heir of the dark kingdom of Nehalennia,
which has fought for many years with the sacred empire of Avalon:
the two bloodlines that split from the wise dragon king Imbloc, as recorded in the Old Covenant.
Julius became aware of my existence and plotted my demise.
When I realized that, I took on spectral form and possessed Julius instead.
Tell me, why do dragons enter into bonds with humans?
It is to receive the astral flow that comes about when dragons and humans are connected.
Precisely. But if the astral flow is the only thing to be obtained,
there is a simpler way.
Humans can become livestock, and we can prey on them!
So that's why Julius would even commit the taboo of dragonslaying.
I knew it!
I knew that Julius had not gone mad!
You were the cause of all of this!
Why, you...
How I have waited for this moment!
Descendant of the wise dragon king Avalon!
I shall now take over your body to fulfill my return!
I won't let you get away with it,
Mordred!
Wh-What is this darkness?
You...
Who do you think I am?
I am the first princess of Lautreamont Knight Country!
Such humiliation will not...
D-Damn it, I can't bear this any longer.
At this rate, I'm going to lose my mind.
I'm going to lose...
Veronica. Veronica!
You!
Hold on a second. It's me. It's Julius.
Julius?
Really?
There's no time.
Mordred's soul has already possessed Eco.
Julius!
Glen...
There's so much I have to say to you, but for now, let me say this.
I can guess what it is, but go ahead.
You big dumb idiot.
Eco!
What's going on? She looks like she's in pain.
What's happening to her? Is that...
I don't remember summoning you here, dark king Mordred.
Navi. Thou may call thyself such,
but I know thou art not a simple "navigator."
Thou art, in fact, the Dragweiss, correct?
Now, grant to me thy great wisdom.
If I join with thee, I shall be completely reborn as the dark king.
Nope. I don't much like Nehalennia, after all.
What?
I fully support the princess and knight of Avalon.
Especially the knight.
I mean, Ash Blake is a far better man than you are.
Hm, you vixen.
In that case, I'll just take it by force!
Eco!
Wait, Ash!
I can ride any dragon!
If I can just ride her...
But how?! Right now, even Lancelot is gone.
And are you really sure you can ride Eco when she's in that form?
Silvia...
Milgauss!
Take it easy. He's no longer the Milgauss that you knew.
You mean...
My... My brother?
Ash, the first thing we have to do is get Mordred's mind out of Eco's body.
You're the only one who can save Eco.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Seikoku no Dragonar
As long as Navi resists him, Mordred cannot be completely reborn.
This is our chance to get Eco back.
How do you know that?
Just as Mordred appears to have gained knowledge from my memories,
I have also gained knowledge from Mordred.
I'm impressed that you got Princess Veronica to give up her ship so readily.
I had an ace in the hole.
I need everyone to disembark except for Ash and me.
What do you think you're doing?
Obey your brother.
Otherwise, I'll reveal your secret in front of your subordinates who admire you.
I'm talking about all the goods that fill up your room.
Portraits.
Previously worn clothes.
A daily growth journal.
Life-sized dolls.
Original poems.
And this thing you took using a device smuggled in from the Empire.
When he gets back here, I'll kill him.
So you'd better come back, Julius.
Do you read me, Ash?
Yes.
I'm moving the Sylvanus directly over Mordred.
After that, pick your moment, and swoop down.
Understood!
I thought Navi was supposed to be resisting him!
I am!
What's that?
Ash, the Sylvanus can't take any more of this!
You have to jump now!
Prince Julius...
Hang in there, Eco. I'll save you.
What is this place?
And what's the big idea, locking a dragon like me up in a bird cage?
Even in this situation, you won't be kept down, will you?
Navi, are you...
I've been playing around with Mordred.
His predilection for tentacles did cause me some annoyance.
Mordred? Who's that?
Give me your hand.
I've given you a portion of the information I possess.
I see. So this Mordred fellow is trying to steal my body.
That's correct.
It looks like he's up to yet another crazy stunt.
Huh?
Why?
Why would he go to those lengths for my sake?
Doing this could get him killed...
And... And I've been such a nuisance to him.
Why?!
That's obvious, isn't it?
Think about who you are to him.
Tell me what I can do!
That's more like it.
Eco, what you can do is dedicate an Arch to him,
as a princess of Avalon.
With the kind of ripoffs you've made up till now, he won't stand a chance against Mordred.
But there's no time.
An Arch's strength is determined by the strength of your feelings.
Even if you don't have a set design,
as long as you have feelings for him,
your Arch is sure to materialize.
But...
He's risking his life to try to save you.
How are you going to respond to him?
Damn it, stop moving!
Lucca!
I noticed a change come over Gawain,
so I came here, clinging to his back.
The others came as well.
Hey, Ash!
I see you're creating a scene again.
Sir Ash!
I've come to help you, Sir Ash!
Guys...
Ash!
Princess! Lancelot!
We all know what's going on.
We're going to help get you over to where that thing is!
Let's go!
Princess!
This is nothing! Keep moving forward!
Manifest now, O ye sure-striking magic spear...
Its name: Gae Bulg!
Lucca, you're up!
Now!
Thank you, Lucca!
Ash!
Almete, gorjal, peto...
Where am I?
espaldar, brafonera, faldaje...
Eco?
guarda, greba, escarpel...
Eco...
Be sure to accept my feelings for you, okay?
Espolazo!
That is an original Arch that Eco has produced on her own.
It's still unfinished, so its shape isn't quite established.
What are you spacing out for?!
Hurry up and break out the unique enchantment!
Yeah. Thank you, Eco!
O ye steel to sunder all creation,
a holy sword worthy of a knight among knights...
Its name: Excalibur!
Eco, I'm coming to save you right now!
I am your knight, and you are my Pal, after all!
Why, you...
If you destroy this body, the daughter of Avalon will also suffer!
I know her better than anyone.
The way she oversleeps, how she pigs out...
and where she's vulnerable!
Halt! Who goes there?!
That scarf...
Could she be...
my...
Is that right?
Yes. He escaped from us.
I sensed Mordred's spectral form flying off into the eastern skies.
I'm sorry.
Not at all. I have to say, I'm surprised you're all right.
It was a close call.
After we left, the Continental Congress was canceled.
Everyone left in a panic,
including Klaus Witershausen.
I see.
In any case, I think this is a good start.
From here on, it's the domain of politics.
Well then, it's about time we left.
Feel free to rest up here until you've recovered.
We'll be waiting for you at school.
Right.
See you, Ash!
Get well soon!
Sir Ash, if you get lonely and need someone to sit up with you—
That will probably have the opposite effect.
I'm sorry. This happened because of me.
It will grow back in soon enough.
Don't sell a dragon's recuperative ability short.
O-Okay.
Eco...
I am your knight.
No matter what happens, that will never change.
So I'd like to keep on...
No, I won't have it! No way!
Huh?
I mean, I'm glad and all, but I want something more.
I want our relationship to be different.
I couldn't even find a name for this feeling in the Dragweiss.
Do you know what it is?
In Lautreamont Knight Country,
boasting the largest dragon population on the Arc Strada continent,
sits the Ansullivan Dragonar Academy.
Young men and women who have entered into bonds with dragons
spend their time there together with their dragons,
and then, when their dragons grow to be Maestros,
they become known as "Dragonars."
