01x19 - Liones in Flames

[bunniefuu]

'Cause I'm your lover, silly.

[Lancelot grunts]

[soft music playing]

[grunting]

[Lancelot] What did you do that for,

little girl?

[giggles]

Sorry, it may seem

like I'm too young for you,

but by the time you turn 20,

I'll be 16,

the same age you are right now.

[Lancelot] Huh?

Anyway, how are you feeling?

We did just share our first kiss today.

-[playful music playing]

-[grunts, exhales]

This isn't the first time

I've experienced being kissed before

so don't pretend that we're the same, kid.

[girl] Those little forehead kisses

you used to get from your teacher

don't count and you know it.

CRACK

[Lancelot grunts]

So you really can

[girl] Didn't I tell you?

I'm not able to read minds.

It's just that I've heard a whole bunch

of stories from you personally,

so I know a lot about you.

You know, things like

your father's favorite sayings,

your experiences

with your teacher by the lake.

Oh, and also

[Lancelot] Who on Earth are you, really?

My dad's favorite sayings aside,

no one knows what happened

between me and my teacher.

And anyway,

I've never met you before today.

[girl] Well, yeah, before today,

I've never met you either.

Say what?

Do you even have any idea

what you're talking about?

[maid] Oh. Young lady.

I was looking everywhere for you.

Oh, well, it's time to go.

Hold on. What's your name?

I'm Guinevere.

[Guinevere] I should be sticking

around in Liones until tomorrow.

So let's meet again.

-[Lancelot sighs]

-[footsteps fading]

[Guinevere] There is one thing

I can tell you.

Pretty soon here

You'll meet the one you're looking for.

[theme music]

LIONES IN FLAMES

[Chion] Do they really serve

a necessary purpose?

These Four Knights

of the Apocalypse, I mean.

[sighs]

-Huh?

-Watch your mouth, Chion.

Are you truly doubting

the former king's prophecy?

[Chion] You've got me all wrong.

It's just

Lancelot and that little brat Percival

or whatever.

Just the idea

of those two country bumpkins

being knights of prophecy

is simply unbearable.

But Lancelot,

he's amazing once you know him.

His skills and experience

far surpass what I'm capable of.

You give him far too much credit.

I'm sure Percival is like that also.

Well, to be honest, I can't quite

put a finger on that one yet.

But it's obvious that he's got

some mysterious power hidden within him.

[sighs, gasps]

[Tristan] Anyway, let's focus on

looking for Gawain for now.

Don't you think we should consider

bringing in more backup

for something like this?

My dad, urgh

I mean, my father probably figured

that would just draw too much attention.

Yeah, okay sure. But the only clue

we've got to work with

is this suit of white armor

adorned with gold decorations.

It's kind of absurd, you know?

Come on, now,

are you pointing fingers at me?

Yes.

-Aw.

-[Pelio] Hm?

Prince Tristan.

-Oh, hey. Hello there.

-[gasps]

Sir Pelio.

I see that you've returned

from your journey.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Earlier today.

Excuse me.

By any chance, have you seen someone

clad in white armor

adorned with gold decorations in the area?

Forgive me. But no, sir, I have not.

Oh, well, if you do see them,

I want you to let me know.

Of course, Your Highness.

Jade, you're going to be

on your own today.

So be sure to keep a close eye

on the Prince for me.

Yes, sir.

Huh?

[both gasp]

[indistinct chatter]

-[both exclaim]

-Huh?

[horse neighing]

[Donny] That's not it.

[Anne] Not that either.

[Percival] That one?

[Nasiens] That armor is silver.

We are looking for white.

[Percival] Hmm.

From this perspective,

Liones is clearly a country

with many Holy Knights.

So what was our other clue again?

Magic that gives off a golden glow.

So golden magic that's glowy.

What is that like?

[grunts]

-[grunts]

-Now this is intense feeling!

[both panting]

Uh, this aura is

So could that be Gawain?

No, wait. We should go find Chion first.

[Lancelot gasps]

The east gate.

Well, I guess it's fine.

[tense music playing]

[munching]

[gulping]

[exclaims, laughs]

[man] Hm?

[Pelio] Are you a traveler

or are you here peddling goods?

I haven't seen you around.

[man scoffs]

Would you tell us your reason

for coming to Liones?

[man] Ah, it's nothing much.

I'm just trying to find someone.

And who are you?

Liones's head of security.

And a Ruby Holy Knight, Pelio.

Oh.

Right now, we're on alert

for potential enemy forces.

Any suspicious persons are expected

to cooperate with questioning.

-[man chuckles]

-[customer 1] What's going on?

[customer 2] Did that drunk guy cause

some sort of trouble?

The commoners don't seem

to have taken notice,

however, you exude a dangerous aura.

If I want to attract formidable foes,

this is the best way.

Still, though,

my curiosity has been piqued,

how strong is a Ruby Holy Knight?

[tense music]

Do you wanna find out?

It-It's a fight.

Did this old drunk really

just pick a fight with a Holy Knight?

[man] Yeah.

-Hold on to this.

-[man laughs]

I will not use a weapon

against an unarmed opponent.

-[grunts]

-[cracks]

Well then, if you're ready,

let's begin!

[scoffs, grunts]

[man laughing]

[Pelio] Identify yourself immediately.

[gasps]

-[both gasp in horror]

-Sir Pelio.

Who am I, huh?

Show me you're worthy of it

and I'll tell you.

[snickers]

[knight] Hmm.

Tifos.

Hm? W-Wha

[chokes]

[Chion] One must always be prepared

for the worst-case scenario at any moment.

And where you're concerned,

the worst thing is getting spotted by me.

I don't buy into stuff like prophecies.

The only thing I trust is myself

and what I put my belief in.

What a poor sod.

You're nothing

but a nameless knight from nowhere.

Even if you were to die,

there's not a single soul around here

who will mourn for you.

That's weird.

I thought that you were one

of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

Is this seriously

the best you've got in you?

If it is,

then I'd say I'm way more deserving

of being a knight of prophecy.

Any last words before your final breath?

Right, you can't breathe because of Silf.

[Chion laughs]

All right then, Gnome, please

would you mind crushing

the pitiful knight in your hands

and burying them in the earth?

And hide the evidence

before someone comes along.

-[Tristan] That's enough.

-[gasps]

Twinkling Star.

[grunts]

[gasps]

[Chion] Sir Tristan.

How were you

When we split up back there,

Miss Anne from the Percival Platoon

whispered something in my ear.

[Tristan] She informed me that

your actions have

clearly been off the rails.

And sadly,

her warning was the truth.

Lift your spell right now.

[annoyed grunt]

Chion, how could you?

[gasping for air]

Healing Star.

HEALING STAR

[whimpers]

[knight] Oh, it's you.

[grunts]

I beg you, Sir Tristan,

please save me from that guy!

Do not worry, you're safe now, Sir Gawain.

Huh?

Well, actually, sir, my name is Tantal.

I'm a rookie Holy Knight in training, sir.

-What?

-Huh?

Hold on, what is a knight in training

doing wearing armor like that?

Well, you see, while I was out for a walk,

I stumbled upon this armor

thrown in the trash.

And it's not like

I could just let this beauty go to waste,

know what I mean?

[Tristan] If he's not Gawain,

then where are they?

[both grunting]

[shouts]

[groans]

-[citizens exclaim]

-[man snickers]

You're pretty good, ain't you?

I can say the same for you.

I know

you're hardly putting in any effort.

It's clear.

You appear to be a notable knight indeed.

Where are you from?

Uh-huh.

If I told you that,

this bout of fisticuffs

would turn into a fight to the death.

So do you still wanna know the answer?

Huh?

-[all panting]

-[Percival] Oh. There he is.

[Donny] That guy must be the one

giving off the bad vibes.

Are you the fourth knight of the prophecy,

the one they call Gawain?

-[man] Hm?

-Hey, stay back. This man is dangerous.

Ew, gross. Is the fourth knight

really some middle-aged guy?

He looks like he has no fun to be around.

Oh, damn! Hey, Percival.

I've missed you, little buddy!

[all] Huh?

[Percival] Hold on.

You know who I am, mister?

[laughs]

What are you talking about, Percy?

Come on, it's me.

[soft grunt]

The way he speaks is strangely familiar.

[man] Don't tell me you've already

forgotten the promise we made man-to-man.

You gave me your word

that if you lost in a fight against me,

you'd become my pupil.

[Percival] Huh? No way.

Pellegarde!

[snickers]

Hey, why are you here in Liones?

You're pretty tough to track down.

See, I've been trailing you

ever since that forest.

I don't know if you two are acquainted,

but keep out of this.

This is no place for someone of your age.

Ah, take your own advice

and stay out of it yourself.

Excuse me?

The one I've got business with

is this young man.

[Pellegarde] One of the Four Knights

of the Apocalypse, Percival.

[gasps]

This kid is one of the Four Knights?

[citizen 1] Is that it?

[citizen 2] Get him, Sir Holy Knight.

In that case,

you now seem even more suspicious.

The commonwealth has no knowledge

of the knights of prophecy.

How do you know their name?

[Pellegarde chuckles]

That's because he's one of

King Arthur's knights from Camelot,

and hell-bent on capturing Percival!

-[gasps]

-[Pellegarde] What's this?

-A Knight of Chaos.

-So that boy who interfered is here, too?

That explains the menacing aura

[Pelio] Strolling into Liones

all on your own like this

was quite the bold move on your part.

[Pellegarde] Let me warn you.

If your plan's to show off

in front of everyone

-and stop me all by yourself

-[sword swooshes]

What the

Unfortunately for you,

I'm not the conceited type.

Hmm

-[Pelio] You won't escape from here!

-[Pellegarde] Hmm.

[Pellegarde] Ha.

[tense music]

Here, that's better.

[Pellegarde] If you wish

to escalate this situation further,

I shall power through

and achieve my purpose for coming here.

[guard 1] Get away from here, everyone.

It looks like the Holy Knight's

preparing to go all out.

-You're gonna get caught in the crossfire.

-Don't worry, I'll fight alongside you.

-Thanks, but that won't be necessary.

-Huh?

It's nothing personal.

Protecting knights of the prophecy

is my duty as a Holy Knight of Liones.

[grunts]

[tense music continues]

[Isolde crying]

I've become no more than an empty vessel.

After bidding my precious

Sir Tristan a final farewell,

I can no longer find

the meaning or worth in living anymore.

[passerby] What's the matter, young lady?

[gasps]

There's nothing wrong with me.

[passerby] Of course. Mind if I stay here?

Wh-why won't you leave me alone?

What kind of person would I be if I left

a crying woman all alone out here?

I'm not interested

in being comforted by anyone.

Such efforts are only wasted on me.

I'm well aware

that charm is something I lack.

[passerby sighs]

Come now.

Never speak of yourself

in such a negative light.

[gasps]

Eyes full of tears

don't suit a dainty woman like you.

You don't need to mock me.

I'm aware I'm a woman who's over

six feet tall with absurd strength.

And I know I'll never be

a worthy match for the man I love.

[sighs]

I envy the person lucky enough

to be so deeply loved

by a woman such as yourself.

[passerby] As far as I can see,

you're more than dainty enough

just as you are.

I say release any thoughts

about a narrow-minded man

who would criticize you for your height.

And let us speak

tender words of love to each other.

No, it's not like I'm some easy woman

who would quickly turn to someone else

just because my lover tossed me away.

And after all,

that man is the only one

I wish to share myself with.

-[indistinct clamoring]

-[gasps]

What's that?

[clamoring]

[grunting]

[Pellegarde chuckles]

I finally got you.

[Pellegarde] Oh, please.

This tiny scratch is hardly worth

[surprised grunt]

What the

[Pellegarde groans]

My hand.

[Pellegarde] What's happening?

I meant to raise my weapon,

but I left it on the ground.

I intended to look down,

but I'm looking up.

-What's going on with his body?

-[gasps]

[Pellegarde] How clever!

It's "mind control" magic, isn't it?

Perverseness.

Anyone caught in this magic

can only move their limbs

in the exact opposite of what they intend.

Well, that's a nasty bit of magic.

Yeah.

[struggling grunt]

Take him down.

[Pellegarde] Here we go!

-[gasps]

-[guards scream]

[Percival grunts worriedly]

Very well.

In that case,

I'll resort to crushing you all

using the sheer force of my magic!

[gasps]

[yelps]

-Huh?

-[passerby] Good grief.

They ruined the lovely mood

the two of us had settled into.

[Isolde] Who on earth are you?

None other than the "Master of the Sun".

I am Gawain.

-[Holy Knight 1] Is it an enemy attack?

-[Holy Knight 2] It's near the east gate.

[Holy Knight 1] Your Majesty.

[tense music]

[Percival] "Destroy the wicked

and lend aid to the weak."

[Pellegarde] Huh?

"And above all else, defend that which is

most dear to you with your very life."

[all exclaim]

[Pellegarde] I see now.

From your point of view,

I'm on the side of the wicked.

Please don't get me wrong, Pellegarde.

It's not like I hate you.

However, you're my enemy

'cause you're allied

with my father and King Arthur.

[Pellegarde] So you don't hate me, huh?

I'm glad to hear that.

It's far too reckless

to fight him on your own.

Even if you do happen

to be a knight of prophecy,

the power of that man's magic

is unfathomable.

[determined grunt]

[Pellegarde] You have made your choice.

I'm gonna take you back by force

just as I planned all along,

Percival!

Yeah, that's what you think,

but I won't let you.

[Pellegarde] An enchantment, huh?

It seems you've grown a bit

since last time.

Immortal Fire!

[dramatic music]

[fighting shout]

-[Pellegarde chuckles]

-[gasps]

[Pellegarde] Have you forgotten?

My magical flames pursue their target

until it is reduced to cinder and ash.

-[Percival] Huh?

-[Pellegarde laughs]

[grunting]

Oh, no.

No matter what he does,

cutting the flames only multiplies them.

We gotta give him some help.

[Donny] No, dummy,

if you step out of this bubble,

we're all gonna get deep fried.

-[mini Percival exclaims loudly]

-[Pellegarde gasps]

If I can't slash your flames away,

I'll just suck them all up.

[Pellegarde] How fancy!

[laughs]

You sure are interesting.

Okay. What will you do about this?

[gasps]

[Percival] Are the flames

I sucked up getting hotter?

[Pellegarde] Brilliant Hellfire.

And just like that,

the flames have consumed all his magic.

How are you supposed

to stop something like that?

After everything, I can't beat him.

[Pellegarde] Ah, don't be discouraged.

The fact that you can recognize

the difference in our abilities

proves how much progress you've made.

Now, if we're done here,

you'll be coming with me.

[Gawain] Extinguish.

-[Pellegarde] Huh?

-Huh?

[Pellegarde] What? Hm?

Little girl, are you the one who did that?

How disrespectful

to refer to me as a little girl.

That's big talk

from a cheap flame wielder.

[Pellegarde] Hm? You would dare call me,

Pellegarde the Black Knight,

a cheap flame wielder?

Unacceptable.

You must pay!

[grunts]

Impossible. Her power is strong enough

to extinguish even my flames?

Wait, her magic has a golden glow?

You insolent scoundrel,

disrupting my romantic flame.

Consider this a little bit of payback

for spoiling the lovely mood

I was enjoying.

[Percival] By any chance,

are you the knight called Gawain?

-Who are you? How do you know my name?

-[Percival exclaims excitedly]

Then the fourth knight

of prophecy is a woman.

-That's really cool.

-That's really cool.

Who are you?

Could this magic mean

that you're Lady Gawain?

[Gawain] Indeed.

Is something wrong, Prince Tristan?

I asked you to wait at the castle.

We've been looking

everywhere for you. So why?

Unfortunately, I dislike

when people order me around.

[sighs]

-I'm glad we finally found her.

-Yeah.

So anyway

who is that?

[Percival] Keep your guard up.

This guy is a servant of King Arthur.

Wait, he is?

I see. You've not learned your lesson

from entering this kingdom again.

[Tristan] You Knight of Chaos.

Oh.

[Pellegarde] Magic from the demon race

and the goddess race.

[Lancelot] Old man,

-now would be your chance to run.

-Huh?

You've been outmatched.

[Pellegarde] It's that red fox

from the day we first met.

Well, now isn't that peculiar?

[Pellegarde] You,

I saw you in that forest.

Are you a human or some sort of spirit?

Can it be?

Does this mean

All of them are finally in one place

[Anne] Mm-hm.

[Pellegarde] A young man of many mysteries

with an undefined appearance.

A young man with green hair,

like the wings of a bird.

A young man with holiness

and wickedness in his eyes.

And a young man with magic

that sheds a golden glow.

Uh, no, uh, a young woman.

[tense music playing]

[laughs hysterically]

Look. My body is trembling

with excitement.

I get it now. So you are the ones.

The four calamities that were prophesied.

The ones who will destroy Camelot,

the great kingdom

built by King Arthur himself.

The Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
