Majesty, I've received details of our
0:03
next scheduled match.
0:04
>> Tell me and include any research you've
0:07
conducted on our opponent.
0:25
I've heard of this Alexandra in passing.
0:27
They say she comes from nobility and is
0:30
a crowd favorite here in Daxian.
0:33
>> Oh, she's a noble, too. Not that I know
0:37
>> Interestingly, this maiden we face next
0:40
has not yet fought in the tournament.
0:43
>> How is that possible? But to be clear,
0:52
has had matches, but she has won all of
0:55
them up to now by default.
0:59
That's weird. She must be one lucky gal.
1:02
>> I'm not the only one who thinks that's
1:04
fishy, right? She's got to be cheating.
1:08
She may try something between now and
1:10
the match. Let us be on our guard.
1:18
By the way, if I might venture onto some
1:21
well-worn territory for a moment.
1:24
>> If this is another plea for me to take a
1:26
husband or produce an heir, then make it
1:28
brief. It is not the first time I have
1:31
heard from you on the subject, and I
1:33
doubt it will be the last.
1:35
>> I find a ruler not of your majesty's
1:38
line to be unacceptable. I am aware that
1:41
saying so is above my station, but I
1:44
would be displeased with anything less.
1:47
>> Your stance is noted, but can you not
1:50
respect my own preferences? I have
1:52
exacting criteria for any who would be
1:54
my lifelong partner. As to an heir,
1:57
anyone qualified will do in the end,
2:00
regardless of their bloodline. Tell the
2:02
chancellor to keep his eye out for
2:04
outstanding candidates within Camus.
2:07
Your Majesty, that may play into the
2:09
hands of the Dying Faction, who insists
2:11
that the bloodline is all. He may have
2:14
disappeared from public view, but he
2:17
still has support among the people.
2:20
>> I promise that once our work here is
2:22
concluded, I will take up this matter in
2:24
earnest. Our search for an heir is a
2:26
last resort only. For now, I wish to
2:30
focus on the tournament.
2:42
When the heroic games are over, my first
2:45
priority will be to put an end to Dian.
2:52
that may be for the best.
2:55
>> Perhaps I truly ought to sever the
2:56
Savangrren line and leave the throne to
3:00
>> What am I hearing? I won't have it. I
3:03
have served the royal family since the
3:05
late king. And I intend to serve until I
3:08
see your child's face. NAY, UNTIL THAT
3:12
CHILD'S WEDDING. NAY, FURTHER, I will
3:15
see that child's child born. Such is the
3:19
extent of my devotion.
3:35
How long can one man live? Be sensible.
3:40
You've served long enough already.
3:42
>> But it is only by rallying around your
3:44
majesty that Saramus remains united.
3:48
There is no other potential heir who
3:50
would satisfy all factions as you do.
3:53
More likely, the kingdom would fall into
3:55
civil war over the throne. A child of
3:57
your line, however, would be accepted by
4:02
Forgive me, your majesty, but is there
4:06
anything else that troubles you?
4:09
>> Nothing you need concern yourself with.
4:18
>> There is not much time left for me to do
4:20
as you wish, Bonavvenure. Perhaps at
4:22
some point in the next seven years,
4:26
though I have much to do before then.
