Arslan Senki (TV): Fuujin Ranbu

The treasured sword Rukhnabad, proof of kingship in Pars.

Just as Hilmes and Gieve were fighting for it,

the remnants of the Temple Knights entered the fray and made off with it.

Hilmes immediately set out to pursue Archpriest Bodin's trail.

Bastard! Now you have done it!

You're dead!

We'll kill you all!

They appear to be bandits.

Shall we leave them be?

He thinks he's some kind of hero.

Run.

Alone, if you must.

I have accompanied you this far.

I cannot leave you to your fate now!

My lady, you must not!

Die!

What in the...

A silver mask?

Get them!

You saved us. You have my thanks.

You are knights of the Parsian army, I presume?

Pardon.

My lady!

We are searching for a Prince Hilmes of Pars.

Sir Knights, would you happen to know anything about him?

I have no notion of what you ask.

You are...

Are you not Lord Hilmes?

Lord Hilmes, do you not remember?

It is I.

A princess of the blood of Maryam, Irina.

I have stated that I do not know!

Bastard!

Do you not know what it is to be courteous?!

If you are headed for Ecbatana, I would advise against it.

Take that bill and go to Zabul Fortress.

You will be offered protection.

Hey! You!

Let us head for Zabul Fortress, as the knight advised.

Was that all right?

That is to say...

Was she not an acquaintance of yours?

Do not speak where it is not your place.

Yes, sir.

I have yet to even regain the throne.

How could I possibly face her?

Lord Uncle!

Why?!

You are supposed to have died in the fire.

Who are you?

I am someone

who was on familiar terms with your grandfather, Gotarzes II.

You are the one who saved me?

I was merely drawn to the bitter hatred.

In the flames, we were summoned by a voice that despised all.

Eerie bastard.

What do you want?

Chaos for the world...

Your revenge will surely give rise to numerous tragedies.

How could I possibly want anything more than that?

Once you have grown stronger return to this country.

When that time comes, we will be your eyes and ears.

You wished to see me?

I hear you are practicing the sword in the middle of the night.

You forget my kindness in harboring you.

Listen to me.

Do not do things that may catch people's eyes and arouse suspicions.

If it becomes known that you are the previous Parsian king's boy,

it will cost me my head.

Though, I suppose you are not the only nuisance here.

Are you not able to see?

Then, why pick flowers?

Even though I cannot see...

...I can still discern their fragrance.

This flower is called the zeria.

Oh, my.

The edges are bluish-purple...

...and it gradually fades to white towards the center.

The petals are shaped like...

Describing them will be of no help.

Here, try touching it.

A zeria...

What is your name?

Your name?

Hilmes.

Lord Hilmes.

Stop!

You are injured...

But with that, I will never mistake you for another.

What is your name?

I am Irina.

My lady!

Out here in a place like this yet again!

It is cold today.

It is not good for your health.

Please, come inside.

Is something the matter?

We must return soon, or your people will worry.

If it is Jovanna, she is out shopping today.

And besides, I am sure those at the castle would prefer not to see me.

Is it because of your eyes?

Yes.

They say it represents a bad omen or some such.

Lord Hilmes.

What shapes might the clouds be in today?

They are particularly large today.

How large?

Perhaps as large as countries.

Oh, my!

And they are drifting by, on and on.

Even though I cannot see...

...I find myself delighted because you tell me these things.

Delighted?

By the things I say?

Yes.

I see.

You know, Irina.

Beyond this sea is Pars.

Yes.

I hear that it is a very prosperous country.

I am...

...the prince of that Pars.

Eh?

Right now, I live like this, hiding my identity...

...but someday, I will make the throne mine.

Lord Hilmes...

Once I do, I will be able to take you wherever you like.

I will become king and set you free.

The time has come.

You are...

I have not seen you since then.

King Andragoras has bestowed his son the title of Crown Prince.

What?!

How dare he have the audacity, when I am stuck here?!

His name is Arslan.

Follow your destiny.

Do so, and your path will surely reveal itself to you.

Hey!

Lusitanian soldiers?!

Why are there...

The Maryam motherland is already on the verge of surrendering to the invading Lusitanians.

In which case, you must see which side is better to align with.

You bastard!

You mean to sell out your country?!

That is what I mean.

And while I am at it, I have decided to sell you as well.

Along with my country's princess, whom I have harbored in the outbuilding.

Bastard!

Stop! Please!

Forgive me!

My lady, this way!

Guards!

Are there no guards?!

What's this?

Not going to run anymore?

Wh-Who the hell are you?!

Lord Hilmes!

It is you, is it not?!

Stay away!

Today, this moment, is the beginning.

I am going.

Lord Hilmes...

My name is Hilmes.

My father's name was Osroes.

The true king of Pars...

...is me!

I never imagined we would meet again, alive, in such a way.

Irina...

A report from Lord Sam.

Was he able to find their trail?

Yes, sir.

Bodin's Temple Knights appear to be in what was once Maryam,

making contact with members of royalty plotting their restoration.

So, he means to use ruined nobles to regain his power.

We are going, Zandeh.

Yes, sir.

Peshawar was in shock.

King Andragoras, who had been held captive...

...had unexpectedly made his way to the fortress

bringing Queen Tahamenay with him.

In order to retake my lands,

you will head for the coastal region to the south and assemble men anew!

You needn't return to your king until your men number 50 thousand!

I humbly accept the royal mandate.

What are you doing?

You already have your royal mandate.

Prepare for travel and depart immediately.

Your Majesty, for the crown prince to obey the royal mandate,

as a Parsian, it is only proper.

As unworthy as we are, we, who serve His Highness,

would also like to offer our assistance and do what little we can.

Daryun and Narsus, you two will remain with my camp.

I will not permit you to accompany Arslan.

This is banishment in all but name!
