Background
Ten years ago, Siegfried was recruited into the Royal Knights of Feendrache by King Josef, who personally instructed him on knighthood. Although his dubious origins and rough mannerisms caused conflict with many other knights, Siegfried slowly grew in reputation. Along with Gunther and Hagen, Siegfried was one of the commanders in the Fafnir Suppression Force; however, mid-battle, Hagen initiated his plan to have the other two knights slain in the battle and steal glory for himself. Siegfried sacrificed himself to defeat Fafnir, and his life was only spared by drinking the dragon's blood.
After apprehending Hagen and returning to Feendrache victorious, Siegfried became known as the "Dragonslayer" in honor of his valiant actions and King Josef appointed him as his personal bodyguard. Soon, the Royal Knights of Feendrache was reorganized as the Order of the Black Dragons, with Siegfried as its new captain. Gunther and Kriemhild, Josef's attendant, married and moved to the region of Burgundy.
Over the years, Feendrache grew ever more prosperous with the help of Isabella and the primal beast Sylph, who used Fafnir's blood to create a magical elixir called alma. As Feendrache's fame grew and its military might distinguished itself from surrounding kingdoms, the Order of the Black Dragons attracted the likes of Lancelot and Percival—both who became his co-deputy commanders.
Then a village became inflicted with a mysterious epidemic. The villagers came to the King for aid and Josef sent Siegfried to investigate. There, the knight discovered that alma created a poisonous by-product that was dumped into the river by soldiers of Feendrache. Seeking to inform the King, Siegfried came back to the castle only to be framed for his liege's death by the true culprit of conspiracy. The King told Siegfried how to escape with his dying breath and he escaped into the rainy night. Branded the "Kingslayer," Siegfried became a fugitive and worked behind the scenes so he could one day expose the true villain.

Time would pass and a certain crew would visit Feendrache when Siegfried unsealed Fafnir to lure the person who framed him. That crew and the knights who had once served their Kingdom next to Siegfried discovered his innocence. They worked together to bring the truth to light and out the conspirators poisoning the Kingdom.
Even though his name was cleared, Siegfried turned down the offer to become the captain of the White Dragon Knights. Taking responsibility for the uproar he caused and for the knights he harmed in the process, Siegfried left to go on a journey. Though he can return to Feendrache any time he wishes, Siegfried continued to search for ways to help his country from afar.

Life on the Run
These events take place back when Siegfried was living on the run after being framed by Consul General Isabella for regicide. During his flight, he takes out a dagger that King Josef gave to him and thinks about its significance to him. At the same time, he is reminded of his king's final command of purging the rot that was spreading throughout his homeland, Feendrache. Siegfried renews his resolve to proceed down the perilous path before him.
White Dragon: He's not here! Keep looking!
Siegfried: They've already tracked me down again? That was faster than I expected.
His name is Siegfried the Dragonslayer. However, he now bears the ignoble title of "Kingslayer," having been framed for a crime he did not commit.
Siegfried: (King Josef...)
Josef: Siegfried... a final order... one I can only entrust to you...
Siegfried: Yes, anything for you, Your Majesty.
Josef: A great rot is spreading about Feendrache. I would have you expunge it before the kingdom falls to ruin.
Siegfried: It will be done.
Josef: I am sorry, Siegfried. I can only... count on you... for this...
Siegfried: Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
Siegfried: ...
Siegfried: (I must finish this, whatever it costs me.)
Siegfried: Consul General Isabella... I swear that I will bring your evildoing to light.
It was Consul General Isabella who framed Siegfried for the murder of King Josef.
Tasked with overseeing the production and distribution of the panacea-like elixir known as "alma" that the primal beast Sylph creates, she has been attempting to hide its poisonous byproduct, karmide.
As it would be inconvenient for Isabella if the existence of karmide became widely known, she has been secretly disposing of it in the Howling Valley.
However, this has caused a village named Ruforth, located downstream from the Howling Valley, to suffer from a mysterious epidemic.
Siegfried: To think that the creation of alma had been producing such an insidious byproduct...
Siegfried: Thank the skies that Boris managed to discover it.
Siegfried: Right, this should be far enough.
Suddenly Siegfried's stomach growls, as if it had been waiting for the right moment to assert itself.
Siegfried: Hah, I suppose that's enough marching on an empty stomach for one day. Time to make camp.
Siegfried: Hm?
Monster: Grrr...
Siegfried: Ah, just a monster. I guess that means I won't have to go looking for food. No hard feelings now.
Monster: Graaawr!
Siegfried: Haah!
Monster: ...!
Cleft in two by Siegfried's greatsword, the monster dies without even being able to cry out in pain.
Siegfried: Right then...
Siegfried takes out his knife and begins efficiently skinning the monster.
Siegfried: (In any case, merely evading capture isn't going to get me anywhere.)
Siegfried: I heard that King Carl recently ascended to the throne. Would he be willing to hear me out?
Siegfried: No, he's been told that I was the one who killed King Josef, so betting on that would be too reckless...
As the need for urgency and the need for caution clash within Siegfried's heart, he uncharacteristically starts to channel his stress into his knifework.
Siegfried: Shoot. I guess I used too much force.
His knife broken, Siegfried stares at the half-prepared meat.
Siegfried: Well, now what?
After thinking for a moment, Siegfried pulls out a dagger with an elaborately adorned sheath.
Siegfried: (I'm hesitant to use a gift from King Josef for butchery, but...)
Siegfried: Your Majesty...
As he gazes at the dagger, Siegfried remembers how he came to possess it.
It happened when he had been serving as the captain of the Order of the Black Dragons.
As Feendrache was being attacked by another nation, the atmosphere in the castle was somber.
Josef: Captain Siegfried of the Order of the Black Dragons. I hereby order you to repel the enemy.
Siegfried: Yes, my liege! I swear that none of their forces will remain in our lands by the time I return.
Siegfried's ferocious counterattack routs the invading army, but at a cost.
Messenger: Your Majesty, I come with dire news! Captain Siegfried has—
Black Dragon: I-it's my fault! He suffered a grave injury protecting me, and now he won't wake up! I'm so sorry!
Black Dragon: If he dies because of me, I'll... I'll...
Josef: Calm yourself. The man has slain a dragon. It will surely take more than this to kill him.
Black Dragon: Of... Of course, Your Majesty.
Josef: Take him to the infirmary. Keep everyone away from him except for myself and one doctor.
Black Dragon: I...
Yes, Your Majesty, as you command! We leave him in your care!
Yes, Your Majesty, as you command! We leave him in your care!
Josef hastens to the infirmary, his regal cape trailing behind him.
Josef: (When he slew Fafnir, Siegfried took in some of the dragon's blood.)
Josef: (This fact must be concealed. That said, it is not yet known how much power that blood truly holds...)
Josef: How is he?
In the infirmary, the doctor has cut away Siegfried's clothes and is examining the wound.
Doctor: It's a deep wound to his gut. I'm afraid that it has reached his internal organs.
The doctor steps aside to let King Josef examine the unconscious knight.
Josef: ...
Upon beholding the gruesome wound, Josef inadvertently gasps.
Doctor: I've begun treating him, but the bleeding still hasn't stopped yet.
Doctor: I'm about to start sewing up the wound. I must save him, no matter what!
Josef: Very well. Proceed.
The doctor takes up his surgical needle and thread and begins his work, but suddenly freezes.
Doctor: Wha—
Before their eyes, Siegfried's wound begins to heal all on its own.
Josef: (So this is the power of the dragon's blood!)
The unnatural sight continues until the wound seals itself completely, leaving not even a scar behind.
Doctor: What in the skies...
The doctor rushes to examine the skin that had been split wide-open only moments before.
Doctor: He's truly healed! How could such a thing...
Josef: You are to tell nobody of what you witnessed here. Now leave us.
Doctor: Ye-yes, my liege!
Shaken, the doctor departs from the room, and Josef turns his attention to the face of the man lying before him.
Josef: Siegfried... Just what is...
Siegfried: Ugh...
Josef: Ah, Siegfried, you're awake.
Siegfried: Your Majesty? Why are you... Wait, where am I?
Josef: You're in the castle's infirmary. Your men carried you here from the battlefield.
Josef: I'm told that you were wounded taking a blow for one of them. That was quite the gash you had in your stomach.
Josef: Very reckless, I must say. Were you counting on the regenerative properties of the dragon's blood to save you?
Siegfried: It's no problem for me to get a few scratches here and there. I heal up nicely, after all.
Josef: For goodness's sake. I wish you'd treat yourself with more care. It's not like you don't feel pain.
Siegfried: I appreciate your concern. When I saw my subordinate in danger, I took the only option I saw without thinking.
Josef: Then work on training your men. Make sure they're strong enough to keep up with you.
Siegfried: ...
As you command.
As you command.
Siegfried: Two promising young knights have joined us recently. They're polar opposites, one being of noble blood and the other hailing from a village far from the capital, but both already possess impressive ability.
Josef: Oh? I look forward to seeing them in action one day. Make sure to tell them that they're not to imitate your recklessness.
Siegfried: Understood, sire. And I apologize.
Though showing understanding of Siegfried's nature, Josef is concerned by his tendency to put himself in danger.
Several days later, a ceremony is being held to commend Siegfried for his prowess on the battlefield.
Josef: Captain Siegfried of the Order of the Black Dragons. Come forward.
Siegfried: Yes, Your Majesty.
Josef: You have once again rendered great service to this kingdom. In reward, I bestow upon you this dagger from the royal treasury.
Siegfried: You honor me, my liege. I gratefully accept it.
Bending the knee before his king, Siegfried reverently accepts the dagger.
As soon as it is in his hands, cheering erupts throughout the throne room.
Black Dragons: Long live King Josef!
Black Dragons: All hail Captain Siegfried!
As the knights cheer, Josef draws himself closer to Siegfried and speaks into his ear.
Josef: Think of this dagger as a part of myself and carry it into battle.
Josef: I want to protect this kingdom alongside you.
Siegfried: Your Majesty... It would be my honor. I will keep it on me at all times.
Touching the dagger with one hand, Josef places the other on Siegfried's shoulder.
Josef: I pray that this blade will one day protect you from harm.
Upon hearing his king's sincere words, Siegfried holds the dagger tightly to his chest.
Siegfried: Though unworthy, I swear myself once again to your service, my king.
Josef: I'm counting on you, my most loyal knight.
After thinking about Josef, Siegfried sighs.
Siegfried: Please forgive me for putting this blade to such a use, Your Majesty.
After apologizing to his king, he begins peeling the meat away from the monster's bones with the dagger.
After laboring at it for a while, he creates a pile of neatly butchered meat.
Siegfried: A fire... probably wouldn't be a good idea. The smoke could lead them right to me.
Siegfried straightens his back and kneels before the dagger.
Siegfried: King Josef. I swear that I will complete the mission you gave me and purge this land of the evil that festers in it.
Siegfried: (Please watch over me, Your Majesty...)
Raising his head, he returns the dagger to his breast pocket.
Siegfried: For today's sustenance I express my gratitude.
Without hesitation, Siegfried begins to chew the raw monster meat.
Siegfried: Hm. It doesn't smell as bad as I feared. All this red meat should provide plenty of energy.
He quickly finishes his meal and leans up against a tree trunk.
Siegfried: ...
But instead of going to sleep, he merely sits there with his eyes open.
Siegfried: (First Gunther and now King Josef... I've lost so much in such a short period of time.)
Siegfried: ...
Siegfried: The night sure is cold without a fire...
Siegfried looks up at the starless sky. There is still nothing to illuminate the path before him.
Indomitable
Siegfried sneaks into the castle and investigates villages in order to expose Consul General Isabella's evil deeds, but finds that she's already taken steps to obstruct him. Moreover, he's discovered by the Order of the White Dragons when he stops to save a family from an unusual monster and finds himself surrounded deep in the forest.
Siegfried has been framed for regicide by Consul General Isabella.
Now he must bring her wrongdoing to light, but his investigation has hit a dead end.
Siegfried: I don't think I'll find any new leads outside the castle...
Siegfried crumples the paper he'd been jotting his notes down on into a ball.
Siegfried: (Well, I'll just have to sneak in. Fortunately, it seems that Isabella is reorganizing the Order of the White Dragons right now.)
Siegfried: That could give me an opportunity to get in. Tonight should be my best bet.
White Dragon 1: Yawn... I sure am sleepy. When's the next shift getting here anyway?
White Dragon 2: Come on, you heard Lady Isabella's announcement about the new schedule we started using today. The new shift's not coming for a while yet.
White Dragon 1: ...
White Dragon 2: Hey man, I answered your question. Don't just ignore me.
White Dragon 2: Wha—
Hey, what's wrong?
Hey, what's wrong?
White Dragon 2: What?
Siegfried: Don't worry. I just need you to sleep for a while.
White Dragon 2: ...
Siegfried: Right then, Isabella's office is... Ah, down this way.
Siegfried: Her papers concerning alma and karmide should be on these shelves...
Siegfried: Oh?
Siegfried: These are records of how much alma was produced each month. And here we have documents about distribution to the villages.
Siegfried: Hm? These numbers don't add up. Production is much higher than distribution.
???: Who's there?
Siegfried: Oh dear. I suppose I'll have to take these papers with me.
Siegfried gathers up all the documents within reach and then jumps out of the window.
Moments later, a young man enters the office.
Lancelot: There's nobody here...
Lancelot: Wait, the window's open!
Lancelot rushes to the window and sticks his head outside.
Lancelot: ...
No one out here either. But I know I felt the presence of someone other than Lady Isabella in this room..
No one out here either. But I know I felt the presence of someone other than Lady Isabella in this room..
Lancelot: This is the fifth floor. The only person who could have escaped from here is...
As Lancelot furrows his brow, a damp, warm breeze caresses his face.
Siegfried: (If I collect enough testimony from the people, I might be able to expose Isabella's deeds to the public.)
Siegfried: I should go to Ruforth Village. I haven't checked on them in a while.
Isabella has been secretly disposing of alma's deadly byproduct, karmide, in the Howling Valley in order to hide its existence.
Ruforth is a small village downstream of the river that flows through the Howling Valley.
Siegfried: I hope that the karmide pollution hasn't spread to the village yet.
Siegfried: White Dragon knights are camped out at the entrance to the village...
Siegfried: (Odd. They wouldn't need to station that many men if they just wanted to protect the village.)
Crawling through the long grass, Siegfried sneaks up to the men and listens to their conversation.
White Dragon 1: I hear that we're doing more patrols now because Siegfried snuck into the castle.
White Dragon 2: Yeah, me too. Apparently everyone in the capital is under orders to stay at home. I hope my family's all right.
White Dragon 1: What I want to know is why post us here? Why would the Kingslayer come to this tiny village?
White Dragon 2: Well, apparently this place is actually important. I was told that if we find him here we'll punish the whole village for sheltering him.
Siegfried: (I see, this must be Isabella's doing.)
Siegfried: I could knock them out and investigate, but that would put the whole village at risk.
Siegfried: Looks like I'll just have to turn back...
Siegfried stealthily departs from the area.
Siegfried: Right, I should be far enough away now.
Siegfried emerges from the overgrowth. He has been making his way to a different village while avoiding the main roads, but runs into a dilemma.
Woman's Voice: Aaaaaah!
Suddenly, he hears screaming coming from down the road.
Siegfried: What?
Monster: Grrr...
Father: Why is there a monster here? Stay behind me, you two!
Mother: Dear, don't be reckless!
Young Boy: Dad! Dad, I'm scared!
Siegfried: (If I intervene, the knights posted nearby will find me for sure. But if I don't...)
Josef: I want to protect this kingdom alongside you.
Siegfried: ...!
Monster: Grrraaahhh!
Siegfried: Gah!
Siegfried: Haah!
Monster: ...
Siegfried: Are you all right?
Father: We're all fine. Thank you so much!
Young Boy: Mister, you hurt your arm really bad...
Siegfried: Don't worry, I'm used to it.
Siegfried examines the monster and discovers traces of karmide in its body.
Siegfried: (This monster is different from most of its kind. Did the karmide cause it to mutate?)
Siegfried: (That would explain why it left its territory and was wandering around near the road.)
Mother: W-wait, are you... Sir Siegfried?
Father: What? Siegfried the Kingslayer?
Siegfried: ...!
White Dragon: Hey, what was that screaming about?
Mother: Dear, look! The knights are here!
Father: We were being attacked by a monster, but then Siegfried came and...
Father: Wait, where did he go?
Siegfried is nowhere to be seen on the road, but there's a trail of blood leading into the forest.
White Dragon: Leaving tracks, huh? Looks like we won't have to comb this place for him after all.
White Dragon: Send a messenger to the main unit! Tell them that Siegfried's lurking in this area!
White Dragon: Yes sir!
White Dragon: Don't worry, we'll escort you to the nearest village.
Young Boy: Hey, Mister Knight! You've gotta save that guy with the big sword!
Young Boy: He got hurt saving us... So please, you've gotta...
White Dragon: ...
Fret not. The Order of the White Dragons will do what needs to be done.
Fret not. The Order of the White Dragons will do what needs to be done.
Realizing that search parties had been dispatched all over the roads, Siegfried makes his way deeper into the dark forest.
Commander: The trail of blood leads deeper in! He could be hiding anywhere, so keep your guard up!
The sound of boots stomping through the foliage gets closer and closer as the knights close in from all sides, until finally...
White Dragon: He's here! He's here!
Siegfried: They found me. Looks like I'm going to have to fight.
Siegfried confidently readies his greatsword.
Commander: Even if the man we once called "Dragonslayer" faces us, we must not falter! Overwhelm him with our numbers!
White Dragons: Yes sir!
Commander: First Squadron, charge!
White Dragons: Chaaarge!
Siegfried: Haaah!
Siegfried's blade knocks the men to the ground.
Commander: Hhg... He's too strong! Messenger, go call for backup! Second Squadron, charge!
From an unfortunate series of events, Siegfried's battle with the Order of the White Dragons has begun in earnest.
Indomitable: Scene 2
Siegfried has been cornered by the Order of the White Dragons in a forest. From behind enemy lines, he hears Lancelot call out his name in hatred. Exhausted from the endless fighting, Siegfried finds himself unable to move as his pursuer's sword thrusts toward his heart, but the dagger he has stored in his breast pocket that he received from King Josef blocks the blade. Upon seeing the dagger, power wells up within Siegfried and he forces his way through the order's lines and escapes.
Siegfried: Huff... Huff...
Commander: Don't let him get away with what he's done! Knights of the White Dragons, fight for the righteous glory of Feendrache!
White Dragons: For the righteous glory of Feendrache!
After being framed for regicide, Siegfried has finally been cornered by the Order of the White Dragons.
Siegfried: Hraah!
Siegfried: Ngh!
Commander: He's getting slower, and the captain's almost here! Wear him down!
White Dragon: Damn it! How can it have taken us three days and three nights to tire him! What kind of monster is he?
Commander: We'll have to give up on taking him alive. Strike him down!
Three days and three nights after the battle began, Siegfried's stamina is reaching its limits.
Siegfried: (Considering the fact that the king was just murdered, their unity is exceptional. To think that I would ever end up this cornered.)
White Dragon: Die, traitor!
Siegfried: Haah!
White Dragon: Ngh... I'm not done yet!
Siegfried: You move well. Would I be right to guess that you're in Lancelot's unit?
White Dragon: Think you're so strong you can start chatting during a fight? I am in Captain Lancelot's unit, yes, and I'll use the techniques he taught me to take your head!
Siegfried: Then I suppose the rest of the exceptionally proficient men I've been fighting recently are as well. You must have arrived on the scene ahead of him.
White Dragon: Stop acting so familiar! You've betrayed all of us, and especially the captain!
White Dragon: Do you have any idea how he feels having to hunt you down?
Siegfried: ...
Sorry.
Sorry.
Siegfried: Huff... Huff...
Suddenly, Siegfried hears a voice he knows well coming from behind enemy lines.
Lancelot's Voice: I want status reports from every squadron! Depending on the situation, I might go out there myself!
Siegfried: Seems like Lancelot's arrived...
Lancelot: Please help me with my training again sometime, Captain Siegfried!
Siegfried's reminiscing is interrupted by the sound of Lancelot's roar.
Lancelot: Siegfrieeed!
The adoring tone that Siegfried is used to hearing in the young knight's voice has been replaced by hatred and anger.
Siegfried: Lancelot...
Though he can't see his former student, Siegfried needs only hear that voice to understand how he feels.
Commander: Captain Lancelot has arrived! He'll be joining us soon! Press the attack!
White Dragons: Yes sir!
Siegfried: What!
As Siegfried's greatsword clashes with a knight's blade, it suddenly snaps in two.
Commander: Good, his blade is broken! This is our chance to finish this!
Siegfried: Even should my weapon fail me, my will is indomitable!
Siegfried: ...!
Despite his bravado, Siegfried finds himself unable to move a muscle.
Siegfried: (What? Why can't I move?)
Though his will is still unbroken, his body had long been pushed past its limits.
Commander: Now!
Siegfried: Urgh!
Siegfried staggers under his pursuer's strikes.
However, he still cannot force his body to move as he wills it, and falls to his knees.
Commander: We did it! Pin him down!
Siegfried: Ngh!
The knights restrain Siegfried, twisting his arms behind his back.
White Dragon: Prepare to die, Siegfried the Kingslayer!
Siegfried: I must purge this country of its rot!
Commander: The man who plunged the kingdom into chaos claims to want to fix it? Ridiculous!
Commander: Even though you risked your life to protect that family, you're still a kingslayer and a traitor.
Commander: Saving them led to us finding you, and because of that you're now going to die.
Siegfried: ...!
Commander: Repent for your crimes in the afterlife, Siegfried the Kingslayer!
Time seems to slow as the knight prepares to pierce Siegfried through the heart.
Siegfried: ...
Siegfried: (Am I going to die here, unable to grant King Josef's last wish?)
The moment that thought crossed his mind, a powerful emotion seemed to surge through Siegfried.
Siegfried: ...!
Siegfried: (No! I must struggle until the bitter end!)
Siegfried musters all of his power and roars.
Siegfried: Out of my way! My life is pledged to His Majesty's service, and none shall defile that!
White Dragon: Urk...
The ferocious intensity of his declaration makes his pursuers reel back, but only for a moment.
White Dragon: Damn you! Yo-you're going down!
White Dragon: Haaaah!
The tip of the knight's sword rushes towards Siegfried's breast.
Siegfried: ...!
The dagger that Siegfried had been keeping in his breast pocket blocks the White Dragon's thrust.
White Dragon: What?
The dagger falls out of his pocket and to the ground.
Siegfried: This is... the blade that His Majesty bestowed on me...
Josef: I pray that this blade will one day protect you from harm.
Josef: A great rot is spreading about Feendrache. I would have you expunge it before the kingdom falls to ruin.
Siegfried: ...!
As Josef's words flash through his head, Siegfried feels his blood start to boil.
Siegfried: Argh... Graaaahhh!
White Dragon: Damn it! How does he still have strength left?
Commander: Who knows? Just stop him!
Siegfried: Aaaaaagh!
White Dragons: Aargh!
Siegfried: Aaaaaagh!
Commander: Retreat! Retreat!
The rest of Siegfried's escape doesn't really stick in his memory.
All he will later be able to recall is swinging the dagger, throwing his pursuers off him, and running.
Siegfried: Huff... Huff... I think I'm in the clear.
Siegfried: ...
Siegfried: ...
I will complete my task, no matter what.
I will complete my task, no matter what.
Even Lancelot, Siegfried's former pupil, stands in his way as his enemy.
Nevertheless, he tightens his grip on the dagger and unwaveringly walks down the path before him.
Indomitable: Scene 3
In search of a stronger sword, Siegfried visits a blacksmith that has long made swords for the knights of Feendrache and is given a crimson greatsword named "Integrity" and a set of armor that comes with a full-face helmet. He learns that the sword had actually been made specifically for him by King Josef's request before his passing, and renews his oath on it. Time passes, and Siegfried finally meets Lancelot and (Captain)'s crew as the end of his mission approaches.
Siegfried made use of his superhuman strength to escape the Order of the White Dragons.
Some time has since passed.
Siegfried: Haah!
Siegfried: This one's no good either, huh...
Strewn at Siegfried's feet are several broken greatswords.
Siegfried: They're all too weak. I suppose I won't find anything workable if I keep relying on regular weaponsmiths.
Siegfried: (I have a task that must be completed no matter what.)
Siegfried: (Therefore I need power. Enough power to make it through any predicament...)
As if to brush away his aggravation, he shoulders his last remaining greatsword and walks off.
Siegfried: ...
Upon reaching the nearest town, Siegfried decides to gather information.
On the town's bulletin board, he finds a prominent notice warning of a recent increase in monster attacks.
Passerby 1: Apparently the main roads are crawling with them now. I heard that the chief of Ruforth Village was attacked and spirited away.
Passerby 2: Oh, how frightening. You won't catch me going out there anytime soon.
Siegfried: (What? Ruforth's village chief was taken away?)
Siegfried: (No, there aren't any monsters around here that kidnap people. This must be Isabella's handiwork.)
Siegfried: (Since she couldn't capture him openly, that means...)
Siegfried: (There's a secret dungeon in the castle. She might have imprisoned him in there.)
Siegfried: Looks like I'm running out of time.
Siegfried: (I need more power, specifically a strong sword. It'll be risky, but I'll have to rely on him.)
Siegfried: Galreginda, I'm coming in.
Galreginda: Sir Siegfried? Why would the most wanted man in Feendrache come here?
Siegfried: ...
Galreginda: No, I can tell from your eyes. You never would have harmed the king you respected and loved so much.
Siegfried: Thank you, Galreginda.
Galreginda: The fact that you've come to me must mean that you need a weapon. Just a moment, please.
The smith goes into the back of his shop for a moment and emerges with a crimson greatsword.
Galreginda: Please, accept this.
Siegfried takes the weapon and tests out how it feels in his hands.
Siegfried: Oh? The center of gravity is... Ah, I see. Very interesting.
With a quick exhalation of breath, Siegfried releases a horizontal swing with the sword at a wooden training dummy.
Siegfried: Hah!
Cleft cleanly in two by the knight's strike, the top half of the dummy falls to the floor.
Siegfried: It cuts well. I see you're still as skilled as ever. It's no wonder we knights have been procuring your family's services for generations.
Galreginda: You speak too highly of me. It is your skill that makes such a feat possible, Sir Siegfried.
Having obtained the power he longed for, Siegfried tightly grips the greatsword as he renews his resolve.
Siegfried: That said, isn't this sword's center of gravity too far forward?
Siegfried: What inspired you to make such a thing? I can handle it just fine, but I don't know of anyone else who could.
Galreginda: I have something I must convey to you that concerns just that, Sir Siegfried.
Siegfried: Oh? What would that be?
Galreginda: I was asked to create this sword for you by King Josef before his death.
Siegfried: By His Majesty?
Galreginda: Its name is Integrity. After King Josef's death, I wasn't able to hand it over to you, but...
Galreginda: Now, I can finally follow his last command.
Tears begin to well up in Galreginda's eyes from the grief of being reminded of King Josef's death and the joy of seeing Siegfried again.
Galreginda: The blade is made from a rare crimson ore of Feendrache origin that has been refined and forged through a very labor-intensive process.
Galreginda: I am sorry that this is all I can do to help you, but I hope that you succeed in clearing your name.
Siegfried: ...
I am truly grateful for this, Galreginda.
I am truly grateful for this, Galreginda.
Siegfried holds Integrity aloft and raises his voice as he recites his oath.
Siegfried: I swear on this sword that I will expunge this land of that which rots it.
Galreginda: The blade has at last passed to its destined owner. King Josef, please grant Sir Siegfried your protection...
Galreginda gives Siegfried a set of pitch-black armor with a full-face helmet well suited to hiding his identity.
Galreginda: Take care, Sir Siegfried.
After saying their farewells, the two men part at the door.
Quite some time has passed since then.
With his enormous crimson greatsword on his back, Siegfried is on his way to face the moment of truth.
And there, he will have a fateful encounter...
Siegfried: Lancelot... Long time no see.
Lancelot: Siegfried? Kingslayer!
Blazing in Lancelot's eyes are the fires of hatred. Siegfried returns his gaze with cold composure.
Vane: Bwah? What's Siegfried doing here?
Vyrn: Whoa! So that's Siegfried?
Siegfried: And you people are... skyfarers?
Lyria: That's right! We won't lose to someone like you!
Siegfried: Very well. Although I'd hoped to avoid any senseless fighting.
Sophia: You might have been a hero before, but you don't stand a chance of winning when you're this outnumbered! Think this through!
Lyria: (Captain)! Let's back them up!
Siegfried: That should do.
Siegfried: I'm afraid we'll have to pick this up again another time, Lancelot.
Lancelot: Wait, Siegfried! Are you just going to run away?
Siegfried: Don't lose your composure. Look objectively at what is happening around you.
Siegfried: (See this for what it is, Lancelot.)
Lancelot: What are you saying? Wait!
Isabella: Lancelot! Protecting Sylph takes precedence! Don't go after him!
Lancelot: Ngh... Argh! I swear I will capture you, Siegfried!
Lancelot's rage fades into the distance as the black-clad knight makes his escape.
Will Siegfried, this kingdom's most stalwart defender, be able to fulfill his oath?
The answer can be found only in the records of Feendrache's subsequent history.
