The episode 4 of The Beginning After the End , released on April 23, shows how valuable was the time Arthur spent with Sylvia. Moreover, it is evident that he is increasingly concerned about the people he knows, as he decides to help Thesia Elith, an elf little girl who was captured by slave traffickers.
After meeting Sylvia, Arthur began to rethink his emotions and promised that he would not let anger guide his way. He also understood that he must use his power to protect, not to hurt. With this, in the episode entitled Save by the king , the boy Leywin shows that he is really evolving, both in magic and altruism.
The Beginning After The End shows a new side of Arthur
At the beginning of the episode, after saying goodbye to Sylvia, Arthur hears a scream in the forest. As he follows his voice, he finds Thesia, an elf little girl who was captured by slave traffickers. Remembering his own family, who was also attacked, and the words of Sylvia, Arthur decides to help the girl.
With this, the boy faces slave traffickers alone, and it is at this moment that it is clear how much Arthur has evolved, especially considering his age. In the scene, he combines melee combat with the use of magic and, although almost losing to one of them, Leywin can stop traffickers and save Thessia. Unfortunately, the animation was poorly dynamic and, as in the second episode, opted for static scenes with minimal movement.
In the previous episode of The Beginning After the End , it was already possible to see Arthur's new side. The time he spent with Sylvia really changed him and enabled his maturity. However, it is the care and concern that the boy has with Thessia that shows his change. After Arthur saves her, the elf asks him not to leave her alone. So the boy, who is trying to do what is right, delays his reunion with his parents to take the little girl to Elenoir, the land of the elves.
During the journey, Arthur feels a strong pain emanating from his mana core. Even after a few days, it does not pass, and the interval between the pain is shorter. Determined not to worry Thesia, the boy hides that he still feels pain and moves on. The cause of the discomfort is not explained, but may be related to the effort made during the fight.
The post-care scene makes thessia look suspicious
The focus of the episode is Arthur's journey to the Thessia's house, so there are not many action scenes other than the moment Leywin faces slave traffickers. During the time they remain together, the boy and the elf create a bond of friendship.
Thesia is the first child that Arthur has contact and, as he was born with the awareness of his past life as King Gray, the girl's children's attitudes and feelings are behaviors that he does not understand. But even so, he remains patient and gradually behaves like an older brother.
After a long walk, they finally find the portal to Elenir and, after Thesia called Arthur to go with her, the two come in together. However, after moving to the other side, some guards appear and one of them says the use of the teleport portal warned him immediately. Soon after, the elves hold Arthur by the neck and limit their movement. Thesia, instead of trying to help him, looks at him strangely, as if he was angry.
In a publication, the official network describes Thesia as scared, but excited and cute. But at the end of the text, adds "but what expression was that at the end ... ??". Such a comment leaves Arthur's future open and the personality of Thessia.
Finally, the difference from Arthur's current personality to what he was in his previous life is increasingly evident in The Beginning After The End . The episodes show vacancies about Gray's past, which makes him mysterious and with much to show and explain. It is likely that, in the next episode, Arthur will not yet find his parents again, as the elves have captured him and Thessia, it seems, does not want or cannot help him.
