DAY OF THE IMPERIAL COUNCIL
Copy !req
70. 1014 AD: NORTHUMBRIA REGION, YORK
DAY OF THE IMPERIAL COUNCIL
Copy !req
71. What's in there?
Copy !req
72. J-Just some wine.
Copy !req
73. There's so many soldiers here.
Copy !req
74. Miscalculation
Copy !req
75. Miscalculation
Copy !req
76. Miscalculation
Copy !req
77. Of course there are.
Copy !req
78. Plenty of chieftains
are gatherin' here today.
Copy !req
79. Wow, so they're gonna eat all of this, aren't they?
Copy !req
80. Really?
Copy !req
81. It's a load of bull.
Copy !req
82. Anyway, when he was about to get stabbed,
he didn't even notice!
Copy !req
83. What do you think about yesterday's incident?
Copy !req
84. You mean the attempt on the prince's life?
Copy !req
85. It's a dreadful topic,
but we cannot overlook the rumors.
Copy !req
86. I suppose His Majesty prefers
Prince Harald over Prince Canute.
Copy !req
87. Canute's faction will be unhappy.
Copy !req
88. Pipe down.
Copy !req
89. It's only a rumor.
Copy !req
90. Perhaps it's time to reconsider my allegiance.
Copy !req
91. Now, now.
Copy !req
92. Canute has the great Thorkell on his side.
Copy !req
93. That more than makes up for the loss of Ragnar.
Copy !req
94. But Thorkell is a man unsuited for politics.
Copy !req
95. He's far too much for Canute to handle.
Copy !req
96. But there was another new face on Canute's side.
Copy !req
97. His name was Askeladd, "the ashen lad."
Copy !req
98. Was there? Never heard of 'im.
Copy !req
99. Lords!
Copy !req
100. All rise!
Copy !req
101. His Majesty and His Highness will now make their grand entrance.
Copy !req
102. Whoa!
Copy !req
103. It'll be a feast to remember.
Copy !req
104. What happened to Thorfinn?
Copy !req
105. Well...
Copy !req
106. There's no need to worry about your safety here.
Copy !req
107. No one would be foolish enough to draw his blade in this company.
Copy !req
108. All right, get movin'!
Copy !req
109. Quit draggin' yer feet!
Copy !req
110. Foolish boy.
Copy !req
111. Whoa, hey!
Copy !req
112. Huh? What's your problem?
Copy !req
113. The hell? It's just some brat.
Copy !req
114. Not so fast.
Copy !req
115. Who the hell do you think you're touching with those filthy hands?
Copy !req
116. What's up with this boy?
Copy !req
117. Don't give us the cold shoulder now.
Copy !req
118. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
Copy !req
119. Hey, hey!
Copy !req
120. Is this some kind of joke?
Copy !req
121. Cough up some coin, bitch!
Copy !req
122. Hey, what the—
Copy !req
123. Move it!
Copy !req
124. Make way!
Copy !req
125. You bumbling buffoons!
Copy !req
126. You again?
Copy !req
127. We'll let you know of your punishment later.
Copy !req
128. Jeez, causing trouble now of all times.
Copy !req
129. Are you sure this is okay?
Copy !req
130. I heard he's the prince's guard.
Copy !req
131. The prince is attending
the imperial council right now.
Copy !req
132. Why the hell would one of his guards be strolling around town?
Copy !req
133. Leaders of Denmark.
Copy !req
134. Thank you for joining me on this day.
Copy !req
135. Our long held dream has at last come to fruition:
I am finally king over the land of England.
Copy !req
136. This joyous day was only made possible through your prowess and valiance.
Copy !req
137. In addition, through the grace of the gods,
Copy !req
138. my old friend Thorkell
Copy !req
139. and my son Canute have both returned to us.
Copy !req
140. It is truly a cause for celebration.
Copy !req
141. Welcome home, Canute.
Copy !req
142. My heart is glad.
Copy !req
143. Out of our new lands,
Copy !req
144. I place Mercia under your rule.
Copy !req
145. Work with me to make this a truly great realm.
Copy !req
146. Thorkell.
Copy !req
147. Give my son your aid.
Copy !req
148. I ask you this from the heart.
Copy !req
149. 'Mkay.
Copy !req
150. Mercia!
Copy !req
151. That's the most prosperous land within England...
Copy !req
152. So were the rumors merely rumors after all?
Copy !req
153. No, you don't know that.
Copy !req
154. If they're true, then he has no choice but to say that.
Copy !req
155. All of you will be rewarded in
accordance with your success.
Copy !req
156. There are plenty more spoils to be won in Ireland next.
Copy !req
157. After all, Ireland is home to the arrogant usurper, Brian Boru,
Copy !req
158. who sorely vexed the good King Harald.
Copy !req
159. I've got him!
Copy !req
160. The king's reaction is well within my range of expectations.
Copy !req
161. It's proof he hasn't matched my plan yet.
Copy !req
162. In a battle of wits, I can maintain the lead.
Copy !req
163. Just look at Floki's face.
Copy !req
164. Sorry, old fellow.
Copy !req
165. You'll be drawing the short straw from now on.
Copy !req
166. I'm the one who's in control of this battle.
Copy !req
167. All my pieces are in place.
Copy !req
168. I can do this!
Copy !req
169. There is but one thing, however.
Copy !req
170. This land still harbors those who lack the proper fear and reverence for their king.
Copy !req
171. I wanted to inform you about this matter and have a discussion.
Copy !req
172. I have sent my vassals as heralds in the past.
Copy !req
173. They have, however,
been rebuffed not once but twice.
Copy !req
174. If the seed of rebellion that threatens our new lands takes root,
Copy !req
175. then we must pull it from the Earth by force!
Copy !req
176. Wales.
Copy !req
177. It is time for them to see the strength of a true king.
Copy !req
178. We will invade in the coming spring.
Copy !req
179. Steel yourselves, men.
Copy !req
180. Get up.
Copy !req
181. Are you deaf?
Copy !req
182. Get! The fuck! Up!
Copy !req
183. You have a visitor!
Copy !req
184. Is it one of Canute's men?
Copy !req
185. Send him away.
Copy !req
186. What?
Copy !req
187. It's not one of the prince's messengers.
Copy !req
188. It's just a sailor.
Copy !req
189. Thorfinn.
Copy !req
190. I heard from one of the traders
Copy !req
191. that someone who looked like you was taken away.
Copy !req
192. I was in a panic, Thorfinn.
Copy !req
193. It's none of your business.
Copy !req
194. It's been eleven years, huh?
Copy !req
195. You must have been through a lot.
Copy !req
196. It's just as you say.
Copy !req
197. I don't understand.
Copy !req
198. As long as that man is still alive,
Copy !req
199. your heart will never be at peace.
Copy !req
200. If you say it's still not enough...
Copy !req
201. then you're probably right.
Copy !req
202. But...
Copy !req
203. I still remember it as if it were only yesterday.
Copy !req
204. The sound of the crackling fire in the hearth.
Copy !req
205. The delicious smell of the soup.
Copy !req
206. Thors.
Copy !req
207. Helga.
Copy !req
208. Ylva.
Copy !req
209. And...
Copy !req
210. the smile on your face when you were a kid.
Copy !req
211. I once told you of my story of how I long ago got trapped in an ice floe in Brattalihd.
Copy !req
212. My rations, gone.
Copy !req
213. My ship, destroyed.
Copy !req
214. My six friends had all died.
Copy !req
215. Yet, I still kept trudging along the ice.
Copy !req
216. Do you know why?
Copy !req
217. No matter how stormy the sea is,
Copy !req
218. no matter how frozen the sea gets...
Copy !req
219. a sailor is always fighting a battle against the sea!
Copy !req
220. Just like a warrior...
Copy !req
221. With their own honor at stake!
Copy !req
222. When Thors died,
Copy !req
223. and when you disappeared,
Copy !req
224. I swore on my honor.
Copy !req
225. So, Thorfinn, I'm not saying this for you.
Copy !req
226. I'm saying this for myself.
Copy !req
227. No matter what happens,
Copy !req
228. I'm bringing you back home to Iceland.
Copy !req
229. It's my responsibility to Thors.
Copy !req
230. Next, the lords of Schleswig.
Copy !req
231. Ivar, son of Eirik,
Copy !req
232. come forward.
Copy !req
233. In recognition of your deeds,
you are hereby granted silver and land.
Copy !req
234. Accept your reward with gratitude.
Copy !req
235. He seems unfazed to me.
Copy !req
236. He was earlier for just a second.
Copy !req
237. He bolted upright when you mentioned Wales.
Copy !req
238. Perhaps there is some weakness of his to be found there.
Copy !req
239. Please keep that in mind, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
240. Quit scarfing down your food.
Copy !req
241. It's unbecoming.
Copy !req
242. Shaddup!
Copy !req
243. I'm showin' off my fanks to the gods of proffperity!
Copy !req
244. Do you intend to grow even more, you great lout?
Copy !req
245. Shit.
Copy !req
246. Just what the hell is Sweyn plotting?
Copy !req
247. Does he know of my connection to Wales?
Copy !req
248. But no, he can't.
Copy !req
249. I've never told Floki about it.
Copy !req
250. And even if he knew,
Copy !req
251. he wouldn't mobilize all of his forces just to punish me.
Copy !req
252. So it is but a mere coincidence.
Copy !req
253. But does it matter the cause or reason?
Copy !req
254. The real problem is that Wales will be set to the torch in the spring!
Copy !req
255. Damn it!
Copy !req
256. Think!
Copy !req
257. There's no time!
Copy !req
258. What can I do by the spring?
Copy !req
259. Do I have the prince raise his flag in rebellion?
Copy !req
260. No, the only strength I can count on
is Thorkell's five hundred.
Copy !req
261. Even then, the difference in strength is still too great.
Copy !req
262. We still need the time to sway some of the chieftains to our cause.
Copy !req
263. Is it possible to get the English back on their feet?
Copy !req
264. No!
Copy !req
265. In any case, Wales will end up a battleground!
Copy !req
266. I cannot plan on battle!
Copy !req
267. The king's assassins might make another attempt on the prince in the midst of all the chaos!
Copy !req
268. Home.
Copy !req
269. Not now.
Copy !req
270. Far, far across the western sea,
Copy !req
271. there lies a new world
where the trees are laden with fruit...
Copy !req
272. and grassy plains cover the land.
Copy !req
273. It's Vinland.
Copy !req
274. Thorfinn.
Copy !req
275. It's Vinland!
Copy !req
276. After you go home and things have settled down,
Copy !req
277. let's head for Vinland together!
Copy !req
278. Why?
Copy !req
279. You said it too, right?
Copy !req
280. You said that Thors wanted to go too.
Copy !req
281. Thors came to Iceland to escape battle.
Copy !req
282. If he were still alive...
Copy !req
283. I'm sure he would have tried to go there too!
Copy !req
284. A place without slaves or war,
Copy !req
285. a place where everyone can live in peace.
Copy !req
286. A warm and fertile land.
Copy !req
287. Let's build a country like that.
Copy !req
288. If it's in Vinland...
Copy !req
289. I'm sure we can do it there!
Copy !req
290. Speaking of Wales,
Copy !req
291. that's where you scampered off to when I was on your trail, right?
Copy !req
292. What kind of trick did you pull there?
Copy !req
293. Why would the Welsh take the side of a Dane like you?
Copy !req
294. My mother's grave is there.
Copy !req
295. That land...
Copy !req
296. is my home.
Copy !req
297. It's my country.
Copy !req
298. The land is poor, but the people are rich in pride and spirit.
Copy !req
299. My mother loved her land.
Copy !req
300. I see.
Copy !req
301. Well, then, er... that is a shame.
Copy !req
302. Don't tell anyone what I just told you.
Copy !req
303. I know.
Copy !req
304. Vassal of Prince Canute:
Copy !req
305. Askeladd, son of Olaf.
Copy !req
306. Come forth.
Copy !req
307. What to do now?
Copy !req
308. Why...
Copy !req
309. Why is luck never on my side in the eleventh hour?
Copy !req
310. I feel like I'm almost there, but I'm not
Copy !req
311. Hounded by bones drifting along on silent winds
Copy !req
312. Unceasing echoes of voices won't ever fade
Copy !req
313. We can't well turn back without knowing what lies ahead
Copy !req
314. We may see in the same colors
Copy !req
315. But the breaths we draw are shaded differently
Copy !req
316. You're gonna make me go
Copy !req
317. You're gonna make me drown
Copy !req
318. I've nothing left to even lose
Copy !req
319. You're gonna make me go
Copy !req
320. You're gonna make me drown
Copy !req
321. No I don't want it, I don't want it,
Copy !req
322. I don't want it
Copy !req
323. Don't let me go
Copy !req
324. You're gonna make me drown
Copy !req
325. I'll head towards an answer that affords no footing
Copy !req
326. You're gonna make me go
Copy !req
327. You're gonna make me drown
Copy !req
328. No I don't want it, I don't want it,
Copy !req
329. I don't want it
Copy !req
330. But I know no one's there
Copy !req
331. I will stay right here
Copy !req
332. I'll walk the precipice
Copy !req
