The lost items have been secured, the villainous knight has been arrested,

and the magic flute and Princess Hertrauda have been secured.

Now that all three are ours, the principality's victory is certain.

Go, go, go!

Show them the principality's might!

The kingdom is done for!

- I Love Facades

- Master.

- What is it?

- I'm detecting slight communications jamming near the border.

I bring urgent news! The principality is invading!

Over a hundred ships and thousands of monsters are already attacking!

That's impossible! What were the guards doing?

Their communications were cut off due to technical issues.

It's the Principality of Fanoss.

They're here, huh?

No matter. They can't reach the royal capital right away.

Let's see how much of a fight the provincial lords can put up.

What shall we do, Master?

The damage will be limited.

Remain calm when you notify His Majesty.

Yes, sir.

Place the capital on high alert.

What?

What's going on?

What's happening?

The capital has been placed on high alert.

Citizens are encouraged to stay indoors.

Classes are canceled?

- Repeat: The capital has been placed on high alert.

- This came out of nowhere.

- But why?

- What happened?

- Citizens are encouraged to stay indoors.

- Leon's still under arrest.

Can we really trust this information?

I know. Daddy said to come home right away.

I can't believe a war is actually happening.

The capital has been placed on high alert.

Angie.

Citizens are encouraged to stay indoors.

We caught more than expected.

Yeah, all those shady nobles came crawling.

How do we operate the lost items?

Join us, and you'll be pardoned.

You were set up by...

Those are our terms.

Lady Mylene was right.

She'd better come soon, though, or you really will be executed.

Not that I'd ever let that happen.

Yeah, since I apparently plotted to rebel.

Why aren't you proactively doing anything?

Only a few nobles are unhappy.

Everyone else is satisfied with how this world works.

If I start carelessly fighting back, I'll be the bad guy.

I'm still a knight, after all.

The kingdom's knights are merely useful tools for noble ladies and the palace.

Do you still think chivalry is about protecting the people?

Chivalry's just a facade anyway.

You're pathetic, Bartfort.

Hey, black-hearted green.

It's Jilk.

How'd you get in here? Where are the guards?

- They weren't particularly concerned since we're already feuding.

- Jilk

Great. Shall we feud some more?

The truth is, Ms. Marie asked me to save you.

What is this, some kind of trap?

How are you going to save me, anyway?

In case you forgot, my family are court nobles.

I have connections.

Just sit tight and don't worry about a thing.

Hey, are you okay?

They told me to reflect on my actions and refused to listen.

What goes around comes around.

Hey, meathead red.

It's Greg.

Did Marie tell you to come save me, too?

When I asked my family to get you out, I got into a fight with my dad.

You should apologize to him.

You guys cause too much trouble for everyone.

You're the last person I want to hear that from.

What?! Why?!

Narcissistic purple, are you here to save me, too?

It's Brad.

That was the plan, but I can't get in touch with my family.

What?

I can't connect to their communicator, and nobody's at our manor in the capital!

Don't cry. I'm sure there's a reason for that.

Wait, why am I cheering you up?!

Bartfort.

Needy blue?

Chris

It's Chris!

I demanded to know why a master swordsman

and instructor like my father couldn't save you,

and this is what I got for it.

You could've phrased that better.

Get out of here, shithead white!

Why? I haven't said anything yet.

Also, it's Julius.

I can see what happened.

You tried to save me and failed, right?

Yes. When I asked my mother for help, she slapped me.

Lady Mylene did? Even she slaps people?

All I said was that it was a request from her future daughter-in-law, Marie.

What's wrong with that? Huh, Bartfort?

Are you stupid? Wait, yeah, you are.

Bartfort!

I swear I'll save you someday.

What was the point of all that?

Our rear port side is taking fire!

Monsters approaching!

There are too many of them!

It's impossible to stop them!

The principality's fleet has begun attacking the border.

The local lords are fighting back, but their enemies are numerous.

That's not a problem.

We've secretly agreed to give the principality the lands they attacked.

Once they capture the area, they'll put down their weapons.

Then it'll be our turn to act.

Let them do as they please.

Then your position will be rock solid.

We also received word from the temple.

They want the Saint to join the fight.

What a nuisance.

I hear the Saint can drive off monsters.

The temple must mean to strengthen their authority by demonstrating her power.

Either way, it won't affect our deal with the principality.

Putting the temple in our debt isn't a bad idea.

Yes, sir. Also, what shall we do with Bartfort?

Ultimately, it doesn't look like we'll be able to use his lost items.

Hold on. We're almost there.

Lord Bartfort.

I thought you might be lonely, so I brought you something to drink.

Sorry, but I'm avoiding alcohol for now.

Why don't you have some?

How long do you intend to cling to life?

A knight should accept his death with grace.

Yeah? I'd rather die of old age.

Your impudence knows no bounds.

Die!

What?

You can't kill him. Anyway, look right.

Bartfort, are you okay?

Damn it! Whose backing do you think I—

Silence.

We tried everything we could, but all our attempts failed.

So we had to resort to brute force.

Greg and Brad are handling the guys upstairs.

Guys...

Don't blame me for whatever happens.

Come, Bartfort.

I'll show you a secret passageway known only to royals.

Don't tell me royal secrets!

But it's how you'll be saved.

It's nonsensical to complain.

You guys are such idiots.

Hurry. This way.

Master, unfortunately, we've been surrounded.

Lower your weapons.

F-Father!

His Majesty King Roland?

Father, Bartfort is—

I know, you fool.

You seem well, milord.

Yeah, somehow. Well?

The principality's forces are heading toward the capital.

The enemy fleet has roughly 150 ships.

The number of armors is unknown.

They're bringing enough monsters to blot out the sky.

Monsters? But aren't Ms. Hertrude and the magic flute in our possession?

I expect the principality had another flute.

Another flute? That wasn't in the game.

We believe the second princess is using it.

Second princess?

Yes. Princess Hertrude's younger sister, Princess Hertrauda.

That's news to me, too.

We're currently defending against their advance,

but so far, we've lost over ten ships and nearly a hundred armors.

The temple has offered their assistance,

and the Saint will be sent to the front line.

Her?

E-Excuse me!

What is this interruption? You stand before His Majesty.

It's fine. What happened?

Our forces and the temple's that went to engage the enemy...

The enemy is approaching from the sea of clouds ahead.

Lady Marie, the time has come to demonstrate your Saintly powers.

Oh, fine.

Allow me to handle it.

If I succeed here, nobody will be able to defy me anymore.

Huh?

No way... Nobody said it'd be this bad!

It's the Saint's power!

We can win this!

Drive the principality back!

Long live the Saint!

- Long live the Saint!

- H-Hey, this is actually working.

It didn't have to be Olivia after all.

The Saint's power appears to be real.

Your Highness, can you clear a path to the capital?

I know.

Goodbye, Sister.

The role you failed to perform...

I will perform in your stead.

What was that?

Now taste the wrath of the principality, Saint.

Th-That's...

I-It's monstrous!

The sky guardian looks mighty indeed!

Pincered from both sky and sea, your continent will sink.

Your Highness!

This is the true power of the life-draining magic flute.

You're absolutely magnificent, Your Highness.

The Saint is powerless against the sky guardian.

We'll be free to trample the kingdom underfoot.

I did it, Sister.

Lady Saint, we need shields!

Please defeat that monstrosity!

S-Stay back! Stay away!

I can't do it.

I can't beat that thing!

It's not supposed to show up right now!

Not in the game I know!

Lady Saint!

Lady Saint, do something!

Please, Lady Saint!

Lady Saint!

Lady Saint!

Lady Saint!

Lady Saint!

Save us!

Stop!

I'm not a Saint! I'm an impostor!

Lady Saint...

I can't do anything.

R-Retreat! Hurry—

There's nothing I can do.

After all, I'm not the protagonist.

Please, someone, save me.

Anybody!

The temple's forces have retreated,

and the kingdom's reinforcements were destroyed.

This is a nightmare.

At this rate, they'll reach the capital in two days.

Lord Bartfort, I'll be direct.

Can you beat them?

That monster Marie couldn't beat is probably the game's final boss.

- If it is, I can't. Luxion can't beat it.

- Olivia

- That is the power of love!

- Only Livia, the true protagonist, can.

But things are already progressing differently from the game.

Livia can't activate the power of love with her romantic interests.

To be honest, we're screwed. This is game over.

Even you're at a loss for an answer?

Very well. Stand by until we know more about the situation.

Understood.

Your Majesty, may I ask you something?

What is it?

Julius and the others who rescued me...

They've been arrested.

Students who have never served would only get in the way.

But they...

Who knows what would've happened if I hadn't been here?

They're a bunch of idiots.

Marie is going to be executed by the temple.

I wonder if they'll burn her or crucify her for impersonating a Saint.

Anyway, they're rather optimistic to have you wait under these circumstances.

Luxion.

What is it?

How many?

What?

How many people have died in the principality's attack?

If 30 temple ships and 200 royal ships have been destroyed,

deaths would number in the tens of thousands.

Master, I was delayed by the jamming, but I scanned the entire kingdom.

I detected two giant monsters.

They're approaching from the sky and sea to pincer the floating capital.

What?

There are two of them? What's going on?

That's different from the game, too.

It's the giants that are jamming communications.

I recommend fleeing this continent.

I know. I have no attachment to the kingdom, either.

But...

It's been a while, Master.

Mr. Leon, you have something on your mind.

Do I look worried?

Queen Mylene was concerned about you.

You're skilled at winning over the hearts of women.

You'll have to teach me sometime.

It's unusual for him to joke like this.

Master, you're not going to run?

I'm a knight with a noble title granted by the kingdom.

Will you run with me?

Mr. Leon, I would not blame you if you fled, but I've decided to stay.

To me, chivalry is about protecting those important to me.

To that end...

I will keep fighting until the end, no matter how slim the odds.

Chivalry, huh?

Yes. May I ask what it means to you?

Chivalry is just a facade.

But I happen to love that facade.

I love the idea of knights protecting the people.

Thank you for the tea, Master. I'm going now.

Master, you're not going to run?

Nah. I'm going to fight the principality.

Are you serious?

Julius and his idiots came to save me despite knowing they'd be arrested.

I can't leave them and run.

Have you been influenced by their stupidity?

This decision makes no sense.

I don't get it, either.

But if I run now, I know I'll think about it later.

I won't live the rest of my life

wondering if I made the right decision whenever I'm lying in bed.

I can't count on anyone else, so I'll do it.

Assist me, Luxion.

Good grief.

You're hopeless, Master.

Leon finally makes his decision.

His allies are an abusive friend and a fierce father.

And finally, their identities are revealed.

Next time, "If I Don't Like It, I'll Just Run."

We'll cry, laugh, and argue...

Wait, this isn't the time for that!
