A mother, infant child, and harpist have somehow managed to avoid getting killed when Rafael and Alfonso arrive. The Count is a horrifying caterpillar-like horror (it kinda reminded me of Captain Kurotsuchi’s Ashisogi Jizo). It really puts into perspective the weight the knights bear if the sword is that heavy, the armor must be like wearing a tank!įor a taste of the life of a knight and the struggle against horrors, Rafael takes Alfonso to Valdona, a formerly bustling wine-producing land now ruined and scorched, and whose inhabitants flee in terror from Alfonso’s horse. This is illustrated simply when Rafael hands Leon his horror-slaying sword, which is actually thinner than his own broadsword, but so much heavier it drives itself into the stone ground, and Leon can’t budge it. Meanwhile, Octavia continues to keep the king weak and bedridden, but is instructed to keep him alive…for now.Īfter Rafael tells him the tale of his lineage, Leon is eager to be trained, but as good as he is with a sword against humans, he’s no match for horrors yet. In this, Mendoza shows remarkable restraint. But Leon got away safely, thanks to Rafael, while the queen remembers nothing of her past, but is kept alive as a potential bargaining chip. Super-Evil Dude and General Dickhead Mendoza suspected the Makai bloodline ran in Esmeralda and her son, and so acted quickly to eliminate them, as any Makai knights or alchemists pose a threat to his plan to dominate the land using Horrors as his army. That makes Leon’s aunt Queen Esmeralda, who was adopted by aristocrats and eventually became Queen. We learn that Alfonso’s mother was Leon’s mother’s younger sister, making them cousins. In this regard, he’s kind of like a werewolf, only during the opposite moon phase, he doesn’t turn into a wolf, but just sleeps all day, as most teenagers do.Īnyway, Leon being out of action is a perfect opportunity to turn our attention to Prince Alfonso and his new savior, who turns out to be Sir Rafael Banderas, a Makai Knight and a friend of the Old Golden Knight Garo. On the day of the New Moon, as promised, Zaruba takes Leon’s life…but only for the day.
