Safdie Island.
On this island that the pirates referred to as Treasure Island,
it was said that there was ancient hidden treasure.
Having gained this information from the pirates they captured...
...Arslan's party decided to set out for this island
in order to obtain their war chest.
100 million gold pieces...
I find it a little hard to believe.
I wonder who counted it up to a number like that.
The Crown Prince's much vaunted retainers have departed
for an uninhabited island in search of nonexistent treasure.
Now that the Crown Prince's Office is thinly defended, we will take it.
And just as it was before, this city will be ours, free and clear!
Narsus.
If you had quietly remained in seclusion,
you would not have had to die.
Move! Move!
Appreciate it.
It's going just as Master Shagad planned.
Yeah, the stupid Crown Prince fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.
What's going on?!
Hurry! The pirates have come ashore!
Prince Arslan, the pirates are headed this way!
So, having learned of Daryun and the others' absence, they are attacking.
There must be someone on the inside who orchestrated this.
Surely not!
Nothing like this ever happened with Viceroy Pelagius—
Oh, no, I mean...
The enemy's objective is to take this place.
Do not open the gates, no matter what!
Y-Yes, sir.
It's just as Lord Narsus said.
Narsus's calculations are never wrong.
No, he's been wrong, just once.
When? About what?
It's the fact that he cultivated your acquaintance.
For Lord Narsus, it'll be the one miscalculation of his life.
What about me is—?
Here they come.
Fire!
Damn it! Those bastards!
Your resistance is futile.
Open the gates this instant!
Master Shagad!
So, it was you pulling the strings of this city behind the scenes!
That is right.
For a long time, this place has been the city that it is at my discretion.
And you want to occupy it in order to recruit troops for that boy?
Not something I can sanction after everything.
You know, that's called treason!
I will have His Highness, the Crown Prince, die honorably in battle.
Only a person who can be reasoned with can fulfill the role of Gilan's Viceroy.
With his much vaunted retainers currently away...
...I doubt he has any chance of victory.
Your conduct is so selfish...
I find it hard to believe that you are an old friend of Lord Narsus's.
Narsus appears clever, but he is stupid.
He refuses to accept that people are naturally born unequal.
If he cannot even understand that...
...how can he be called a man of wisdom?
What did you say?!
You're jealous of Narsus, aren't you?!
Huh?
And to top it all off, you have taken a wrong turn as a human being,
so what are you so proud of?!
I am? Of him?
Do not get me wrong.
He speaks of dreamlike fantasies, such as freeing slaves.
He is an outrageous idealist.
If anything, the one who is disappointed is me.
What was that?!
Damn it!
Narsus!
The Zot Clan?!
You bastard...!
It seems you have shown your true colors.
My old friend, I doubt you can explain your way out of this.
This is Lady Alfarīd's husband's war!
You scoundrels, let's give it all we've got!
Boss, your orders?
Clear out the pirates!
Yashasuiin!
Elam, Alfarīd, you did well drawing the enemy's attention!
Lord Narsus!
Alfarīd, you just leave the rest to us!
I'll be counting on you guys!
What on earth is the meaning of this?
It seems Narsus and the others made it in time.
What? Your Highness,
you do not mean, you were feigning to be defenseless on purpose?
The enemy went right for the bait.
With this battle, we will bring to light the present corrupt state of this city.
Why is the Zot Clan on their side?!
We will not let you escape.
Your acts of lawlessness thus far will be judged fairly before Prince Arslan.
Damn it! Move aside!
Rue the fact that you chose the wrong man to serve.
An ambush!
O avaricious ones, befouled with greed...
...know that these arrows are the Divine Mithra's wrath!
This way's no good!
Move it! You wanna die?!
That's my line.
Hey, everyone!
How long are you going to stay afraid?!
Are you going to let these bastards keep doing whatever they want?!
Prince Arslan is trying to clean up the corruption that's been rotting this city!
We're taking back our city from the bastards who do dirty business!
D-Damn it!
Leave!!
Leave!
This city belongs to us!
You good-for-nothings!
Brilliantly done, madams.
When we all work together, there is nothing to fear.
After this, Prince Arslan will run the city with an even hand.
Take that!
Damn it!
Curse you, Narsus.
You deceived me.
You are as guilty of that as I am.
Shagad, just as you devised your plan...
...I, too, merely worked to foil you.
The information on the treasure island that the pirates gave up...
...I recognized that it was a lie from the start.
You were enamored by your plan and you lost your head.
This is how you have always been.
An infernal bastard who finds fault with others in this way.
Unleash your arrows!
Shoot Narsus to death!
Wh-What?!
Oh, Narsus, to have your old friend turn his blade upon you...
...what a most wretched state of affairs.
Why you!
You bastard!
This is maddening!
Master Shagad?!
Stop! Do not think you can escape!
Tch.
Stop him!
Eh?
Damn it!
Do not get in my way!
Your Highness. Daryun.
With regards to this man, I will settle matters with him myself.
Set sail!
Shagad.
Narsus.
And you were such an intelligent man...
It is lamentable to find you in the thrall of your own self-interest
and the mastermind behind the pirates.
Kill him.
Narsus!
Narsus...
Lord Daryun!
Master Grāze.
Leave it to me.
Everyone, we're setting sail!
We'll make it so they can never travel the seas again!
Narsus, when did you realize?
It was after we relieved Pelagius of his post.
