All right! Here.
Here you go. Careful!
Hold on. All right!
Lord Hayate
thanks to you
and our transport team will
As someone who serves the kingdom
I have only fulfilled my
I trust that sincere
If it's something within my capabilities...
This letter is for your
If you could pass it to him
To my father?
It is a very important letter.
If you could give it to him personally
I understand.
I must go to the next village
so I won't return to the royal
but I will
Will that be acceptable?
You have my thanks.
Stay safe!
And so
traveled together
{
We didn't reach the royal capital of the
{
This is where we'll be staying.
If you get lost
so when you leave the premises
I've got to go out
Rio
Yes.
Me
Come on.
That dirtbag.
I was thinking of killing him.
Not a very satisfying end
Come on
Don't just sit there looking depressed.
C-Cut that out
Three large servings of kamutan!
This is kamutan?
Huh? Rio
N-No
Once you have
The first time you ate it
I suppose...
With kamutan
Come on
I will. Thank you for the meal.
This is delicious!
Right?
Yes!
Thank you!
Hey!
Thanks for what you did for Sayo.
What?
Oh
I need to make sure she gets to eat this
Is that everything we were needed to get?
Yes. Thank you so much
But asking me
I can't imagine what everyone was thinking.
If you'd like
What?
Master Shin asked me to take you
My brother did that?
He said he'd asked you to make it for him
but you got into a fight
He said he wanted to make sure
Honestly
But I think maybe he just wants to give
What?
He's a nice older brother
Yes
You there
How about a gift for that
I-I'm not his girlfriend or anything!
Oh
But how about just one souvenir of the capital?
We have some very nice
That's true. Since we're
Miss Sayo
What? I-I'm fine!
You've done so much for me
Yes
Miss
Really?
Miss
Thanks!
My
That's one of our finest items.
Would you like to try it on?
What?
What do you think
It really suits you.
Doesn't it? It looks so lovely on you!
But the price is just so high.
L-Lesser silver tablets?
All right.
S-Sir Rio
I might be able to give
I could never haggle over the
Very impressive!
In that case
Shall we go?
Th-Thank you so much!
Young lady!
Do your best to make him yours!
It seems to me there'll be a lot of
You ruffian! Unhand me!
Someone
Outta the way! Outta the way!
What?
Miss Sayo! Are you all right?
Y-Yes
Lady Komomo!
She seems to be unconscious
M-My apologies. This is all due
If you're going to apologize
What happened?
What's going on?
Clear a path!
Let's go
What? But... are you sure?
Yes. I want to avoid any kind of trouble.
Please
Are you all right?
You're not hurt?
Komomo was almost kidnapped?
We're lucky that they were unsuccessful.
The young man who saved Komomo
quickly departed the scene
So
Yes.
Lady Yuba entrusted me
She said that it was an important letter
I see. From Lady Yuba.
Hayate...
Yes?
Did you meet someone named Rio?
We're back!
Hey
Big Brother
Huh?
Then
Yes. I'll do my best!
Sayo
Huh?
Oh
I'll go put these away.
Lord Rio!
Lord Hayate?
I am called Saga Gouki.
I am Kayoko.
We are husband and wife
Lady Karasuki Ayame.
Karasuki... Ayame?
Your surprise is understandable.
Lord Rio
My mother... was royalty?
First
Yes.
It happened over twenty years ago.
At the time
Zen volunteered to be a soldier.
Zen had a natural gift for both
His Majesty the King soon bestowed
At that time
His skills were the real thing.
Because of that
I strongly recommended that he should
I am sure you can already guess that the
...was Lady Ayame.
Lady Ayame took a liking to Zen.
And it was at that time that a truce was
At the ceremony celebrating the truce
the prince who had come as ambassador
and tried to have his attendants abduct her.
Zen kept them from completing their plan
but the prince resented the fact that
If the truce were to be finalized
and a political marriage to Lady Ayame.
Even now
And that's why my mother and
Yes.
His Majesty the King
and the two of them left our country.
And so time flowed on
But today
And having looked upon your honored
There can be no doubt that you are their son.
Yes.
Lord Rio
What?
His Majesty the King and
It is my dearest wish that you
The two of them... and me?
Please. Please
All right
So you are Rio?
I am honored to meet you
King Homura
This is a meeting with
Would it be possible for you
Yes
If you permit it
First
Yes. Thank you.
Rio
I feel that it's you
My
Rio
Tell us about Ayame and Zen.
Yes.
To cut straight to the conclusion
It is how they died and how they lived
My father died when I was
My mother was a kind person
She never showed me her
We were by no means affluent
But when I was five
When you were five?
How did Ayame die?
If I tell you the truth
Even so
My mother...
was killed...
right in front of me.
The person who killed her
Apparently he had worked with
After my father's death
But that day...
I'll be back soon. If anyone you
I will!
Rio
Will you open the door?
In this world
You're one fact smarter now.
What are you doing
Rio!
What have you done to him?
Rio...
Mother...
That is my last memory of my mother.
How could this be...
And how have you lived since then?
When I woke up
I stayed there and lived as an orphan.
Though that was only until I was seven.
What happened then?
There was... an incident where
of importance to the kingdom.
I was allowed to attend an educational
In our kingdom
we have a school for the court nobles
Everyone around me was of similar rank.
That must have been difficult for you.
I was treated a little harshly
but there were people who treated me well
Thanks to them
I attended that school until I was twelve
then I set out for this land that my
Ayame made such a promise?
Both you and Ayame must
I think my mother was grateful to you...
for being able to marry my father.
It would make no sense for me to
I see.
But Rio...
The man who killed Ayame...
I don't think I can forgive him.
That man is the one person
Then
Once
But revenge doesn't create anything.
And my mother wouldn't want it
I've thought those things
Even so
With these hands
I see.
But you know
If you travel the path of revenge
I know.
You can still turn back.
I am determined to proceed
If it's necessary
Then
But before that
With Lord Gouki?
There is no match for Gouki in
He is the Karasuki Kingdom's
This man named Lucius must be very skilled.
Considering his hideous nature
Don't you think so
I don't want to admit it
If you are to one day face Lucius
I understand.
If he is willing to teach me
Father! Mother! Welcome home!
You're...
Aoi
Th-The person you're with is the
What's this? Is that right?
Oh
Then we will proceed with combat forms.
Both parties
Begin!
Your potential is frightening.
And to think that in terms of both
you haven't yet reached your prime...
Training is the one thing
You've done well!
He combines sword work
Impressive!
What?
It can't be... Father is at a disadvantage?
This is thrilling!
Magical energy is gathering around his sword?
F-Father! You can't be thinking of using...
Hidden Skill
Air Slash!
End of match!
The bout goes to Lord Rio!
I've lost this one.
Thank you very much.
I can't believe Father has...
He's incredible.
Impressive.
I had thought to have you train under Gouki
Yes.
Not at all. Having this experience before
Thank you for your concern.
We don't have much time left
I have a cousin who lives in the
I would like to tell her
Yes. We will trust your judgment in this.
Thank you.
Welcome back!
Huh? Where's Rio?
Miss Ruri
Father
In order to live
I will accept the ugliness
