didn't expect the siege to be over this quickly. I am pretty sure the queen escaped non the less.

arslan doesn't look the king or the queen at all, neither the hair not the eye colour. so who are the real parents?

Why didn't they just destroy the gate controles? That is one of the first things I would have done and even more so when I heard them chanting to the slaves.

The slaves rised up and rebelled !! Silver Mask dude is ruthless as well as strong, im thinking an Arslan and Silver Mask showdown. But I wonder where the real queen went.

Nice action and decent development, but still on the more boring side IMO.

So this is how the Pars kingdom would fall. Almost like Troy.

I'm curious why Kharlan became a traitor though. It seems like there's a deep reason behind his acts and when Sam ran away he called to him with some kind of concern. Maybe he's not that bad at all.

Also, Gieve may annoy me with his Sanji-like attitude towards women but he's a skilled fighter and he seems like his hatred towards the noble class is coming from something. He might be from a slave family.

The guy with the silver mask is such an unlikable twat.

That really doesn't sound like a hard choice xD Slaves have a chance of getting freed or escaping, something dead people don't.

Damn that fake queen for not listening to Gieve. Now she can't reward him.

Take over.

Good episode, apart from the part where Gieve revealed himself, that didn't seem something he would do.

Bit surprising that so many are aware of a passage right into the castle.

And with that the Royal Capital fell, trojan horse style.

Gieve just showed us what a badass he is.

Wait why did they first attack the walls and lose a lot of soldiers, instead of persue the slaved earlier? WTF was that tactic? :DDD Best plan ever.

Also not rape of fake queen. Worst war ever.

Seems that masked man don't like fire. His face has some burned area and that make sense. ;)

Pars has fallen as expected. Strange that the enemy know about the passage. RIP Sam.

Arslan's team cannot do anything even if they arrive at the capital. Narsus though Kharlan is still looking for them but he's not. He better notice it soon. Now where did they hide the queen?

Let's go slaves! Kill your "masters"!

Curious what Kharlan's reason for turning traitor is. If we ever get it.

Narsus' plan is to hide in a cave and let the capital get sacked. Haha. I understand the plan and that it's not like they had a better option, but that's still funny.

A decoy queen makes sense, but to what end? Did the real queen escape elsewhere? Did she remain? Were they trying to draw out possible traitors in their midsts?

The dialogue between Arslan and the prisoner of war in episode 1 is realized at large at the capital's walls. The very foundation of Pars involves slavery, keeping slaves, and persecuting them. When a foreign power promises freedom to them, they will take it. Kill 10 "rebels" and they've made 1000 more slaves into rebels.
Narsus knew a society like that wouldn't last and on the verge of the capital's fall, Sam tried to persuade the Queen and high-ranking officers to reform too. Narsus and Arslan must wonder if that was the reason of Kharlan's betrayal; he may have decided to take action instead of pretending the status quo would last like the royals or live in seclusion like Narsus.
Silver Mask seems more motivated than just spreading the faith of Yaldabaoth, alone.
Since Gieve tried escaping with a body double, I think the queen is still in the capital; not abandoning her people.
