Madan no Ou to Vanadis - ep13


Now before things can move towards their final conclusion Eleonora has to shack Tigre out of his depression. Although things are a bit more complicated than Eleonora is aware of since Bertand death also lead to him mastering the power that Tir Na Fa gave him which leads him to now have mixed feelings about it and this to an extent troubles him. Eleonora can't know this but she helps him in her own way by reminding him of his fundamental nature. Having Tigre return to his sense couldn't happen at a better time since the next day Badouin arrives to inform them of that state of the king. It appears that the drugs that Ganelon gave him has worn off but he can't be cured of the poison so if they want an audience with the king they need to hurry.

This leads to the final showdown between Tigre and Thenardier but it appears that Thenardier no-longer cares about winning. Since his army is in disarry with no-one really leading it. It seems that the true commander was killed in the previous battle underground. Which means that Thenardier could have leaded his army but instead he abandons it to face Tigre alone which ultimately results in his armies defeat. However it appears that his true goal was avenge his son's death, that in this duel Tigre also receives his answer on why he attack Alsace. Which almost cause him to lose himself to his rage but Elenora snaps him out of it. Things end in an expected way with Thenardier receiving an arrow to the head.


Now with Thenardier defeat they can go into the city to meet with the king. That in this meeting the king laments that Tigre resolved the situation that was his to bare. That his is prepared to offer Tigre anything he could want but like always his only concern is securing the continuing security of Alsace and he doesn't care if it become part of Zhcted to achieve this. In the end this leads to forging an alliance Zhcted. Although the king still give Tigre the title of Moonlight knight, this has special significance to Badouin because all those that receive this title become the next king of Brune so in a way the king is declaring Tigre his successor in a subtle way. That with the war over Tigre returns to Zhcted with Eleonora, that at least for now the story is finished. It is possible in the future they will make a continuation to this series, and if they do it would be interesting to see how things would turn out.
