Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Page #4

Trust me.

Just get it done.

Wait,

what am I supposed to tell--?

Stand down, glaive.

The ceremony is in

less than two hours.

We must make ready.

Very well.

Your majesty.

A man of the kingsglaive

is here, sire.

He demands an audience.

"Demands"?

- Your majesty, please.

- Halt.

Give the order

to deploy the glaive.

You.

A Niflheim fleet

makes ready for war

20 miles to the south.

An imperial fleet.

And they have the Princess.

Clarus, post guards

outside the treaty room.

It will be seen as a lack

of faith in the peace.

Which we all harbor.

See it done.

We may well have to take

emperor Aldercapt into custody.

Detain him?

That would go beyond

a new declaration of war.

We are still at war, Clarus.

And you, Nyx Ulric.

How soon can the kingsglaive deploy?

On your word, at once.

Go, then.

Save Luna.

What if this is a diversion?

Not likely.

Tenebrae's Princess is onboard.

We've got two jobs.

Save her.

And stop those Niff ships

from flying on Insomnia.

We go in teams.

Standard infiltrate and extract.

Nyx, you command.

We'll follow.

The glaive stands together,

captain or no.

For hearth.

And home!

We are less

than 20 minutes away

from the signing of this

historic treaty.

I received word

of the king's order to deploy.

I'll see to matters

in the city.

You have your mission,

and it won't be easy.

The objective is two-fold.

Secure the hostage,

and stay the enemy advance.

Just be careful.

One glaive already died

for this Princess.

Niflheim won't

give her up easily.

Team two.

Oh, man.

Hurry up, Nyx!

Help!

Over here.

Preparing to head below deck.

Do not engage the enemy

until instructed.

The ceremony is underway.

Let's wait and see

how Niflheim plays this.

The kingsglaive have

infiltrated the ships.

So everything's going

according to plan.

Ulric reporting.

Six Niflheim airships confirmed

inbound for Insomnia.

Nyx, this doesn't feel

like a war fleet.

I think I might've found her.

I got a guarded door here.

Two Niff MTs.

What's the plan?

Hold position.

Arrived at destination.

High possibility of target

in the vicinity.

Proceed to secure.

It's going to mean a fight.

Keep it quiet

and keep it confined.

Pelna, you're clear to engage.

But keep it quiet.

I'm on my way.

Forgive my delay.

A bit of unforeseen trouble.

Nothing too vexing,

I hope.

A simple theft,

nothing more.

A daring thief,

to steal from the king.

Perhaps magical walls

and castle gates

do not keep all things safe.

Perhaps.

But no matter.

That which was taken

will soon be returned.

Impressive.

You are a paragon

of kingly composure.

But I must ask,

how can you be so sure?

Because this thing

is no mere trinket.

It possesses a will

all its own.

Enough to break

any thief's grasp.

Hm.

That sounds

a very fine prize indeed.

Not now, damn it.

For me?

Aw, you shouldn't have.

Target confirmed.

She's unharmed.

The glaives have recovered

the Princess, your majesty.

Have you found your thief?

We have.

And what was stolen

remains intact.

Joyous news.

I am relieved to hear it.

Tell me,

how heavy a sentence

does the crime of theft

carry in your empire?

Among the heaviest.

Although there is one exception.

Things are about to get ugly

over here.

Pelna, get out of there.

It's a trap.

What is that?

A curious old law

I still permit in the outlands.

A thief who escapes his captor

can no longer be held

to account for his crime.

A warning to the victim.

Never show weakness, lest you

forgo the hand of justice.

Oh, no, good king.

Far from it.

The treaty is now on the table.

The countdown begins

to this historical moment.

It is a warning

to the hand of justice itself

never to loose its grip.

Unit one,

secure the perimeter.

Unit two,

stand your ground!

Pelna!

One Tenebrae Princess,

safe and--

Come on.

The crystal.

They're after the crystal.

There's something

going on below deck.

The ship's not going

to make it to Insom--

you...

What's going on?

Insomnia is under attack.

Who brought you here?

- General Glauca.

- You were bait.

Us coming here was

all part of their plan.

Target secured.

Request permission to withdraw.

Granted.

Get to--

The crystal will not serve you.

Nor you...

Once I take it

from this accursed city.

It's not the crystal

I'm here for.

The wall.

It's gone.

Fall back.

It's a trap.

What the hell is going on?

Traitors.

What's got into you?

Come, we must escape

while we can.

No, Clarus.

I fear escape

is no longer an option.

General Glauca.

Can you make it up?

Can you stand?

Luche!

What are you doing?

You gotta be kidding me.

They teach piloting

back at the royal academy?

Give me that.

It's been a long time since I

fought at your side, old friend.

Yes,

but this time

it is not your fight.

If you wish to leave, go now.

And abandon my king?

I think not.

Besides,

our magic is bound to you.

If you fall, Lucis falls.

Then let us once

more into the fray,

old friend.

You must take me back

to King Regis.

Are you out of your mind?

Insomnia's a war zone.

I have a duty.

I cannot neglect it.

- Yeah, I heard all that before.

- Then you know we must hurry.

Hurry to do what?

Get yourself killed?

I do not fear death.

Oh. Enough with all this

brave Princess act!

Just pray this thing

will make the trip.

Clarus!

Well, I daresay everything has

proceeded according to plan.

No?

So it has.

We have broken

the wall.

All that remains

is to break the city.

Shall we take our leave,

then?

The sun will soon set.

We need not be here to witness

the terrors of the night.

The crystal.

You're going too fast.

We have to land.

Yeah, you're gonna have

to give me a minute on that.

There is no time.

I will go on my own.

What?

You got wings underneath that dress?

You can't use magic.

Not all miracles

are made by magic.

I do not fear death.

What I fear is doing nothing

and losing everything.

Oh, come on.

You can thank magic for

that miracle, your highness.

The reckoning is at hand.

Dawn of a new age.

You have the crystal.

What more would

you take from me?

The ring of the Lucii.

I lost my mother, my country,

my birthright.

Niflheim was the only

life left to me.

But all of that

was for this.

The ring belongs

to me now.

Hear me, Lucian kings of old,

for I am Ravus Nox Fleuret

and none is more worthy

of your power than I.

No.

Why?

Why do you refuse me?

Look out!

Quickly, through here.

This leads to a hidden passageway.

Follow it.

Once you are away, make for Altissia.

Noctis awaits you there.

Your majesty.

- You knew this was coming--

- Yes.

But it was the only way

to draw their wrath from Noctis.

Is that the way of our king?

Sacrifice Lucian sons to save his own?

To save the world.

See Luna safely to Altissia.

This is not an order

from a king to his glaive.

This is a plea

from one man to another.

Please, Nyx Ulric,

keep her safe.

For the future of all.

The future?
