King's Raid: Successors of the Will (キングスレイド 意志を継ぐものたち)

One hundred years have passed since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again, threatening the world,

spreading fear and unrest to all.

Kasel finds Clause at the Tower of the Sage,

where the Great Sage Dominix explains to Kasel

that Kasel is the son of King Kyle.

I will explain everything.

The things that happened when King Kyle was alive...

What the

Predecessors

Left Behind

I got us some food.

Good work, Tamm.

Was there any trouble?

Not really. The shopkeeper looked really uncomfortable when he saw me,

but the moment I mentioned Lord Moriham, his attitude completely flipped.

I see...

This is for you, Azal and Zucca.

Thanks.

Riheet, I'll put yours over here.

Yeah...

Ripine.

Ripine, you wanted to eat it freshly baked, right?

Go ahead, take a bite.

That bean bread is pretty good, huh?

Orvelian foods are all too salty.

Huh. I guess we don't agree on that one.

One hundred years ago, when King Kyle lived,

dark elves like us were able to live in this city, too, right?

Yeah. It's all Illya's fault that we cause a scene just by walking around.

Don't mention that name. You'll set Riheet off.

It's fine. Illya is the reason why dark elves are persecuted--it's simply the truth.

True that.

One hundred years ago...

This was when King Kyle was just a prince.

Kyle, you've gotten better at this.

It's all thanks to your training, Illya.

Both of you were quite impressive. How about some rest?

Dominix, you're here.

Yes.

Delicious... This is food sold in the town, isn't it?

Yeah. I wanted to try it for lunch.

Did you sneak out into the town again?

Yeah, so?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I know, I know... Stop worrying.

Know your place!

King Kyle was full of curiosity,

and always wanted to know about the lives of the people.

What if you go into town and something dangerous happens?

You are the successor to the throne, you know.

His elder half-sister Illya worried about him, but also loved him very much.

You know how good I am with a sword.

Kyle...

I want to see how the citizens live with my own eyes.

What do they feel during their lives? What do they eat? What makes them happy?

A lot of things you can't see from the castle

are clear and visible in the streets.

Without citizens, there is no nation.

If we royals do nothing but hoard wealth and wield power,

Orvelia will be in ruins before we know it.

I want to become a king that can protect his people and make them happy.

You will. I'm sure you will become a splendid king.

Thanks, Illya.

One day, when you become king, I'll make sure to assist you

with my knowledge of technomagic.

That's reassuring.

Hey, Dominix...

For the past few years, Orvelia has seen nothing but peace and prosperity.

Why do some of our people suffer in poverty?

That is because the war with the neighboring nations lasted so long.

War costs money, and families who have lost working-age members tend to go poor.

Who was that war for? It's all meaningless.

To become a king that protects its people and makes them happy...

To live up to this conviction, King Kyle studied and trained well.

King Kyle was young, and full of dreams and hope.

And the person with whom he shared his dreams was Arlette.

Arlette? Could that be...

Yes. Your mother.

How was Kasel's mother alive one hundred years ago?

I will explain that later.

Back then, Kyle and Arlette were very happy together.

But that didn't last very long...

When they found out that Kyle and Arlette were romantically involved,

the King and the nobles forced them to separate.

Kyle was the successor to the King.

Arlette was an obstacle to their plans for a political marriage.

Kyle's tragedies did not end there.

The Demons appeared.

The Demons invaded our world, attacking and destroying towns and villages.

King Kyle lead his army and defeated the Demons time and time again.

That was when King Median the First, Kyle's father, passed away suddenly.

Kyle ascended to the throne.

The Demonic invasion continues, our situation is still dire!

But now that I am king, I vow to defeat every single one of these Demons!

As the king, I will protect my people!

Time to fulfill my promise...

The newly crowned King Kyle raised the Orvelian army's morale.

King Kyle met with Lorraine of the Elves and Aeatola of the Orcs

and entered into an alliance.

He wanted to defeat the Demons as a combined force.

Everyone accepted and trusted King Kyle due to his wisdom and his courage.

But the Demons had a massive advantage in numbers.

King Kyle was injured during battle,

and found Arlette at a shelter.

At that point, inside of Arlette...

...was you, Kasel.

Kyle was extremely pleased to know that Arlette was with child.

It must be a boy! Let's name him Kasel!

I want to protect this world, for the child who will soon arrive.

As if responding to his wish, Lua, the Goddess of Light, appeared.

Lua gave King Kyle the Holy Sword Aea...

...to save the world from the Dark Lord, Angmund.

I have received a divine message from Lua, the Goddess of Light.

When a red ring covers the moon, the Dark Lord will appear and threaten the world.

But with the Holy Sword Aea, the Dark Lord can be destroyed.

Everyone, please, lend me aid.

We all swore to fight by King Kyle's side.

Meanwhile, Illya began to devote herself to the study of technomagic,

without even thinking about what it could lead to...

Illya...

Her study of technomagic led to her being put on trial after her death,

and she was found guilty, right?

Yes, I think I've heard that story, too.

She tried to build another Holy Sword.

Yes. She attempted to create a false Holy Sword.

The people of Orvelia believed this was a blasphemous challenge against Lua.

Why did she want to make a false Holy Sword...?

Illya was trying to fulfill her promise.

She wanted to help King Kyle with her own studies.

Finally, the day arrived.

Do you know the red star, shining brighter than any other star in the sky?

Yes.

When that "Nocturnal Sun" intersects the moon, the moon gets a red glowing ring.
