## Transcript

[Front Gate, Tintagel Castle]

**King** : ...!

**Ronald** : Your Highness! Don't go!

**King** : But I have to! Father and the others could be in danger!

**Agravain** : Calm down, Your Highness! He will return shortly, I know it!

**King** : ...!

**King** : But what if...!

**Agravain** : Please...!

**Agravain** : I shall go.

**Agravain** : So please...stay behind, Your Highness.

**King** : ...I'm sorry, Agravain.

**King** : I have to go.

**Agravain** : ...

**Agravain** : Damn it!

**King** : Thank you, Agravain.

**King** : Let's go, Palamedes.

**Palamedes** : ...Yes.

(Reaching the front gate, the castle guards forbid King and Palamedes from going outside)

**Palamedes** : What are you doing?!

**Castle Guard #1** : His Grace's orders.

**Castle Guard #2** : No one will be allowed to leave the gates, that includes the North, West and East gates.

**King** : ...

**Castle Guard #1** : My deepest apologies, Your Highness.

**Castle Guard #2** : "Return to your room, today is a difficult day". This is his orders to you, Your Highness.

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : Your Highness...

**King** : Is there...really nothing I can do to help?

**Palamedes** : ...

**Agravain** : ...

(King returns to his room, with Palamedes accompanying him)

(King lies in bed for several hours while Palamedes watches him, greatly worried)

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : Your Highness...

**King** : I'm okay.

**Palamedes** : ...

**King** : ...

(King rises from his bed, then walks to look at the view from the window)

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : (Your Highness...)

**King** : Palamedes.

**Palamedes** : Yes?

**King** : What's the schedule for tomorrow?

**Palamedes** : ...

**Palamedes** : ...You're going to school tomorrow.

**King** : ...School, huh?

**King** : Okay.

**Palamedes** : ...

**King** : It's almost time for dinner.

**Palamedes** : ...Yes.

**King** : Let's go.

**Palamedes** : Right.

[Dining Hall, Tintagel Castle]

**Queen** : Oh, Brother!

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : ...

**Jack** : ...What's wrong, Brother?

**King** : ...

(King suddenly gives them a huge smile)

**King** : What's wrong? Nothing's wrong!

**Palamedes** : ...!

**Jack** : \*sigh\* You scared me for a second there.

**Jack** : I thought something happened.

**King** : Nothing happened, don't worry!

**Queen** : Oh yeah! We should call Father to eat with us too!

**King** : Fabulous idea!

**Jack** : ...

**Palamedes** : (...Where's Sir Agravain?)

**King** : ...

**King** : Where's Sir Agravain?

**House Rosenkreuz Servant #1** : Sir Agravain hasn't returned, Your Highness. Neither has Lord Eiasviel and the Champions.

**King** : ...!

**Palamedes** : ...!

(Hearing this, King bolted outside)

**Palamedes** : Y-Your Highness!

(Palamedes chases after him)

**Queen** : What's wrong with Brother?

**Jack** : ...

**Jack** : Queen, I'll be leaving for a while.

**Queen** : Huh? You too?

**Jack** : Don't worry. Brother's acting strange.

**Queen** : Grrr...

(Queen pouts)

**Jack** : Don't worry. I'll make it up to you later. How does ten sweets sound?

**Queen** : Fifteen!

**Jack** : ...Fine, then.

**Queen** : Bye, Brother. Be safe out there.

**Jack** : I won't be long.

(Jack leaves the dining hall, and one of his retainers await)

**Jack** : Come, Moriæn.

**Moriæn** : Certainly, Your Highness.

**Jack** : Find my brother.

**Moriæn** : Go.

**Mortimer** : Caw!

(Mortimer flies away, and then a retainer of Jack who is looking at his phone notices Mortimer flying pass)

**???** : Alright.

**???** : Ready to head out, Daniel?

**Daniel** : Hm, what exactly is Your Highness King and His Grace Eiasviel talked about, I wonder? What say you, Mordred? Why did they suddenly-

**Mordred** : Don't know, don't care. Everything's cool as long as I get to kick some ass and bust some balls!

**Daniel** : Language, Mordred. You're a butler-slash-knight-slash-technically captain now.

**Mordred** : FUCK YOU!

**Daniel** : \*sigh\* What a bothersome superior...

**Mordred** : Hey! Hurry your ass up! We're gonna lose Moriæn's shitty crow at this point!

**Daniel** : I'm going to snitch on you for saying that.

**Mordred** : LIKE I FUCKING CARE!!!

**Mordred** : LET'S JUST GO!!!

(Mordred kicks his horse by the side, and then his horse gallops forward)

**Mordred** : FINALLY!

(As Mordred leaves, Denada appears behind Daniel)

**Denada** : Sir Daniel.

**Daniel** : Ah, if it isn't dearest Denada. I thought you are always by His Highness Jack's side.

**Denada** : I thought I told you to stop referring me as "dearest".

**Daniel** : Oh, right. Of course, after all, the only one who can refer you by that is His Highness Jack alone.

**Denada** : Wha-?! Don't be ridiculous! I am quite satisfied to be with His Highness as a retainer!

**Daniel** : ...

**Denada** : Wh-What?

**Daniel** : Did you just say..."Quite"?

**Denada** : ...Ah.

**Daniel** : I see. Now I understand completely. I understand this situation in a very legitimate term. This makes for a very understanding situation. This situation is simply understandable.

**Denada** : Grrr...

**Denada** : STOP UNDERSTANDING IT AND GO OUT THERE!!!

(Denada pulls out a club and swings it near Daniel's head)

**Daniel** : HOLY BOL-I mean, holy bolognese.

**Daniel** : Sheesh, is there really are need to assassinate me right away? Could have at least attacked me when I wasn't looking.

**Denada** : That's because you just like to tease me a lot, Sir Daniel.

**Daniel** : Hmph. I'll take that as a compliment.

(Meanwhile...)

[Front Gate, Tintagel Castle]

**Palamedes** : ...!

(Palamedes finds the defeated castle guards)

**Palamedes** : Hey, where is His Highness?!

**Castle Guard #1** : Ugh...

**Palamedes** : ...Hey!

**???** : I did this.

**Palamedes** : Sir Gawain!

**Gawain** : Go after His Highness, Palamedes. I'll deal with this issue.

**Palamedes** : ...Alright.

[In front of Dojima-kai HQ, Rainy Afternoon]

**King** : \*pant pant pant\*

**King** : (Father, please be safe!)

**King** : (Father! Sir Agravain! Sir Leon! Sir Hector! Nentres! Neroveus! Claudin!)

**King** : (I don't want to-)

**Palamedes** : Your Highness! Please wait!

**King** : ...Palamedes! Why are you chasing after me?

**Palamedes** : What a silly question. I'm your retainer. My only objective is to keep you safe.

**King** : Palamedes...

**Palamedes** : I've informed Daniel and the others. They should be here shortly.

**King** : I see. But there's no time. The longer we waste, they could have done something bad to them.

(King enters the headquarters to see hundreds of yakuza lying on the floor, all bloody with Neroveus, all bloody as well, standing in the middle of the HQ alone)

**Neroveus** : ...\*pant\* \*pant\*

**Palamedes** : Dame Neroveus?!

**Neroveus** : ...?!

(Neroveus sees King and Palamedes, and she clenches her fist)

**Palamedes** : ...D-Dame Neroveus?

(Neroveus starts walking towards King and Palamedes)

**Palamedes** : What are you trying to-

**Neroveus** : Move.

(Neroveus pushes Palamedes aside)

**Palamedes** : Ack!

**King** : Palamedes!

(King rushes to Palamedes' side)

**Neroveus** : ...

**Palamedes** : D-Dame Neroveus! What happened here?!

**Neroveus** : I don't need to explain myself to the Fool and his pawns.

**Palamedes** : F-Fool? You don't mean...

**Neroveus** : Him.

(Neroveus points at King)

**Palamedes** : H-How dare you!

(Palamedes tries to punch Neroveus, but she slams Palamedes to the ground)

**Palamedes** : Gah!!!

**Palamedes** : (She's strong...absurdly strong, even!)

**Neroveus** : Shut up. Or you're next to be beaten down.

**King** : ...Neroveus. Please st-

(Before King finishes speaking, Neroveus kicks King's stomach)

**King** : G-Gah!!

**Palamedes** : Y-Your Highness...

**Neroveus** : You shouldn't be here. Why are you here? Why did you not heed your father's orders?

**King** : I just-

(Neroveus punches King in the face)

**King** : Ahk!

**Palamedes** : D-Dame...Neroveus...st-

**Neroveus** : Why?

(Neroveus picks King up, and she punches him again and again)

**King** : AGH!!!

**Palamedes** : Stop...please...

**Dojima-kai Member #1** : H-Hey, don't you think we should stop her?

**Dojima-kai Member #2** : Are you insane? What the fuck can you do against a monster like her?

**Neroveus** : Why are you always being so selfish?

(Neroveus punches King in the face)

**Neroveus** : Why are you always being such a fool?

(Neroveus kicks King in the ribs)

**Neroveus** : WHY! TELL ME WHY!!!

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : Your Highness...

**King** : I realized something when I looked at you, Neroveus...

**Neroveus** : ...?

**King** : I understand your pain.

**Neroveus** : ...!

**King** : So if it satisfies you...

**King** : Give this fool a royal beating of his lifetime...

**King** : After all...

**King** : Fabulousness is-

(Neroveus punches King again, sending him flying)

**Neroveus** : You're still spouting that fabulous bullshit?

**Neroveus** : YOU UNDERSTOOD MY PAIN??!!

**Neroveus** : HOW DARE YOU!!! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!

**Neroveus** : THAT'S IT!

**Neroveus** : YOU WANT A BEATING!? I'LL GIVE YOU A GODDAMN BEATING!!!

**Palamedes** : STOP!

(Palamedes, who is still struggling from standing after being hit, grabs Neroveus' leg)

**Palamedes** : \*gasping\*

**Neroveus** : ...Let go.

**Palamedes** : Never! I don't care anymore...if you're a Champion...or a goddamn knight!

**Palamedes** : Anyone who lays their hand on His Highness...

**Palamedes** : ...I WILL MAKE SURE THEY PAY THE PRICE, EVEN IF I HAVE TO DIE FOR IT!

**Neroveus** : ...

**King** : Pala...medes...

**Neroveus** : ...you're all the same.

**Neroveus** : ALWAYS THE FUCKING SAME!!!

(Hearing the commotion outside, Eiasviel and the rest of the Champions goes outside to see what's happening)

**Eiasviel** : King...?! Palamedes...?!

**Leon** : Oh no.

**Hector** : Well, this could get ugly...

**Nentres** : Ahhhhh!!! Your Highness!!! Palamedes!!!

**Claudin** : Neroveus...What is the meaning of this?

**Neroveus** : I'm just following the orders I was given.

**Eiasviel** : ...

**Claudin** : And it involves punching the prince and his retainer?

**Neroveus** : Blame Eiasviel for his indecisive words!

**Hector** : Neroveus!

**Neroveus** : Silence! My orders are to "fight whoever enters this place", and so I did just that.

**Hector** : You bloodthirsty b-

**Eiasviel** : Enough. The fault lies with me.

**Neroveus** : Name your orders carefully next time. Or you're no different than your failure-of-a-son right there?

**King** : ...

**Eiasviel** : You're right. I apologize for my mistakes, Neroveus...

**King** : Father...!

**Hector** : Your Grace?!

**Neroveus** : ...Hmph.

(Neroveus leaves)

**Nentres** : W-Wait, Neroveus!

**Leon** : Leave her.

**Claudin** : What a troublesome woman...

(Eiasviel approaches King)

**Eiasviel** : I believe I gave you my order through the castle guards, King. Why did you not listen?

**King** : I'm...sorry...

**Eiasviel** : ...

(Eiasviel turns around to see Hayajiro standing with his closest advisors)

**Hayajiro** : Impressive. Your champion, Neroveus, was it? She is indeed a very impressive woman.

**Eiasviel** : I apologize for ruining your place, Chairman Dojima.

**King** : ...

**Hayajiro** : After watching such impressive performance? No, I'd say it's worth it.

**Hayajiro** : Moreover, that girl with the blue hair.

**Palamedes** : ...?

**Hayajiro** : She's a loyal one. It's rare to find one like her these days. You're a lucky man, blond boy!

**King** : ...

**Eiasviel** : Pardon my son as well, I didn't expect him to break the rules.

**Hayajiro** : Your son? That would make him the Prince!

**Hayajiro** : I see! What esteemed guests we've gathered today! We should celebrate!

**Hayajiro** : But since our guests are...unable to participate, I suppose I should lend you my assistance.

**Hayajiro** : Sera. I trust you and your men can escort them home?

**Sera Kamishiro** : Of course, Chairman.

**Eiasviel** : I Thank you, Chairman Dojima.

**Hayajiro** : No need to be so formal. We're practically friends now, aren't we?

**Eiasviel** : Of course.

**Hayajiro** : Alright, then. I suppose you all should return back to your castle. Time waits for no one, after all.

**Hayajiro** : I have another "personal" matter to deal with.

**Eiasviel** : Alright. We shall take our leave, Chairman Dojima. I thank you for the hospitality you've given us today.

**Hayajiro** : No biggie, no biggie. Maybe pay a visit once in a while and we'll play shogi...or go fishing!

(Hayajiro returns inside the HQ)

**King** : Father...

**Eiasviel** : Yes?

**King** : Sir Agravain...where?

**Eiasviel** : Sir Agravain?

**King** : Huh?

(Meanwhile...)

[Ganchū-Ota Station, Iizuka Ward]

(Agravain is calling Ronald..angrily)

**Agravain** : WHAT DO YOU MEAN I TOOK THE WRONG TRAIN?!

**Ronald** (on the phone) : <S-Sir Agravain! P-Please calm down!>

**Agravain** : Did you intentionally led me the wrong way just so you could lie to me?!

**Ronald** : <N-No! It's not like that!>

**Agravain** : Then, what is it with this "GeePeeS" thing you're telling me to use?!

**Ronald** : <J-Just tell me where you are now!>

**Agravain** : I don't need your damn help! What am I, 71 years old?!

**Ronald** : <Then just take the train back home already!>

**Agravain** : Which line am I supposed to goddamn follow, god damn it!?
