Leon said, "Talk. What do you want to say?"
Ashoka explained the whole story—how Shakuni manipulated Leon's father and how he also betrayed Ashoka's kingdom.
[Leon gets angry]
Leon said, "That bastard did all of that? Where is he? I'll kill him!"
Ashoka said, "Calm down, Leon. I know how you feel right now. I also want to kill him, but first we have to stop this war. Because of that bastard, many people from both your kingdom and my kingdom have died."
[Leon understands the situation and orders his elite soldiers to spread the news that the King has ordered everyone to stop fighting.]
[Ashoka also sends a message to his soldiers that the Prince has ordered them to stop fighting against the Kingdom of Rock's soldiers.]
[After the war is over, Ashoka and Leon head toward the palace. Some time later, Ashoka and Leon are sitting inside the palace. We can see both of them sitting on chairs. Behind Ashoka stands Albert, while behind Leon stand Mark, his Prime Minister, along with several elite soldiers.]
Leon said, "Listen, Ashoka. I only want your Prime Minister. I want to kill him with my own hands."
[Ashoka replies]
"Sorry, Leon, but I can't hand him over to you."
[Leon says]
"Why is that? Is it because you want to save him? Tell me the real reason."
[Ashoka laughs and says with a creepy smile]
"No... no... that's not the real reason."
"The reason is that he betrayed my kingdom, which means he betrayed the future king."
"So I want to rip his skin off and kill him in agony in front of all the people."
[Leon sees Ashoka's creepy smile and quickly changes the topic.]
"So what do we do now?"
"My kingdom is in terrible condition."
"I know your kingdom also suffered damage, but your kingdom still holds the 3rd position among the kingdoms. You can recover."
"But my kingdom doesn't have that kind of power."
"We don't have enough food, and our people are dying from starvation."
"What do we do now?"
[Ashoka says]
"I know your kingdom suffered more damage than ours."
"And I also know that war was your last choice."
"For you, this war was a do-or-die situation."
"But that is exactly why I have prepared an agreement between our kingdoms."
"You only have to sign it."
[Leon asks]
"What is written in this agreement?"
[Ashoka replies]
"This is a simple agreement that contains only three demands."
1. We will send your kingdom food for the next five years.
"In return, you must send your kingdom's best stones and your best wall builders so they can help strengthen the defenses of my kingdom."
[Leon agrees to this point and says]
"Okay. What is your second demand?"
[Ashoka says]
"My second demand is this."
2. Your kingdom will not attack our kingdom for the next one hundred years.
[Leon says]
"Isn't one hundred years too long?"
[Ashoka says]
"Why? It's not as if you're planning to attack my kingdom after your kingdom recovers... right?"
[Leon replies in panic]
"No... no! Why would I want to attack your kingdom after learning that all of this was your Prime Minister's plan and that he betrayed you as well?"
"Okay... okay... I agree to that point too."
[Ashoka says]
"Very good."
"But now comes the final and most important demand."
3. When we go to war against another kingdom in the future, your kingdom must support us.
[Leon is shocked and says]
"What?!"
"Don't tell me you are planning to attack other kingdoms!"
"You know that if you attack one kingdom, all the other eight kingdoms could unite against you."
"And if you do that, you'll also break the agreement."
[Ashoka laughs and says]
"Leon, I think you've forgotten something."
"Because of that bastard, my kingdom has already broken that agreement."
"But to be honest, I always intended to break it one day."
"I just don't plan to do it now."
"I want to do it after I turn eighteen because right now I still can't control my magical power at its full potential."
[Leon asks a question]
"First, why do you want to break the agreement?"
"And second, do you really think your kingdom and mine have the power to destroy the other eight kingdoms?"
[Ashoka answers]
"The answer to your first question is simple."
"I want to break that agreement because I want to rule this world."
"And the answer to your second question is no."
"I don't think our two kingdoms alone can defeat the other eight kingdoms right now."
[Leon says]
"If you know we can't win together, then why do you want to start a war?"
[Ashoka smiles and says]
"When did I say we can't defeat them?"
"I said we can't defeat them in the present."
"But if we train our magical powers to the maximum, and if we organize annual mock battles between our kingdoms and train our armies for the next five years, then we can defeat them."
[Leon says]
"I understand what you're trying to say."
"But even if we maximize our magical power and train our armies for five years, we'll still lack the manpower needed to fight eight kingdoms."
[Ashoka says]
"Don't worry."
"You know, I also have a friend."
"And that friend will become a king next year."
"I think the time has come to meet him."
[Leon says]
"Wait."
"You said you have a friend who will become king next year."
"But why are you so confident that he'll help you with your crazy dream?"
[Ashoka replies]
"Because I asked him that exact question two years ago before I left for training."
"And I still remember his answer perfectly."
[We see a flashback from two years ago. Ashoka opens a letter, reads it, and laughs. In the letter, Sora's reply is:]
"Why wouldn't I help you?"
"But I have one demand."
"I want two kingdoms."
[Back in the present, Ashoka says:]
"Leon, don't think we've already lost."
"There is still time."
"Maybe during these years I'll find another person willing to help me."
"But for now, tell me."
"Do you agree to this final demand?"
[Leon thinks for a moment and asks his Prime Minister:]
"What do you think, Mark?"
"Can I sign this agreement?"
"Give me your advice."
[Mark says]
"Your Majesty, this is your decision."
"But if you are asking for my advice, then I say please sign this agreement."
[Leon is shocked and says]
"Wow."
"I thought you would disagree with me, but you're agreeing instead."
"Why?"
[Mark says]
"Your Majesty, there are two reasons."
"First, I don't think we have any other option."
"We need to solve our kingdom's starvation problem as quickly as possible."
"And second..."
"He is not an ordinary boy."
"He killed your father, Griffin, while being unable to use his magical power at its maximum."
"So imagine what he could do if he reached his full potential."
"I honestly can't imagine it."
[Leon says]
"Okay."
"I'll sign this agreement."
"But I also have one demand."
[Ashoka says]
"Okay, I agree."
[Leon says]
"But I haven't even told you what my demand is."
[Ashoka says]
"I already know what it is."
"Your demand is that I promise we won't lose this war."
"And I promise you."
"We will not lose this war."
"Because I don't want to lose either."
[Leon says]
"I really don't think you're an ordinary boy."
"Well, I think it's time for me to leave now."
[Ashoka says]
"You want to leave that early?"
"Is it because you still don't trust me?"
[Leon says]
"No."
"We trust you."
"But I need to return to my kingdom."
"And please send food for our people as soon as possible."
[Ashoka says]
"Don't worry."
"We'll start sending food to your kingdom immediately."
"Trust me."
Ashoka then says,
"Albert."
"Arrange for one year's worth of food to be delivered to the Kingdom of Rock immediately."
[Albert replies]
"Yes, Prince."
[Some hours later, Leon and his army return to their kingdom. We then see Ashoka inside his room.]
Ashoka is speaking with John.
Ashoka asks,
"Can you gather information about that man?"
[John replies]
"Yes, Master."
"That man is..."
