Seirei no Moribito Season 1 Episode 20 Trap

Balsa and Chagum are finally on their way to the Palace, but there's danger lurking on the road ahead. The hunters are after them, and they'll stop at nothing to capture Chagum and return him to the Mikado's custody. Meanwhile, an unexpected enemy seeks to foil their plans from within the Palace walls.

As Balsa and Chagum travel through the forest, they come across a group of travelers who warn them of the danger ahead. They tell Balsa about an ambush that took place only a few days ago, and urge her to turn back. But Balsa is determined to take Chagum to safety, and so they continue on their journey.

As they travel, Balsa notices something amiss with Chagum. He's been acting strangely, and it seems as though he's hiding something from her. Balsa presses Chagum for answers, but he remains quiet. It's then that Balsa realizes that they may be walking right into a trap.

Sure enough, the hunters are waiting for them up ahead. Balsa and Chagum are ambushed, and a fierce battle ensues. Balsa fights with all her might to protect Chagum, but the hunters are too numerous and the odds are against them. Just as it seems as though all hope is lost, a mysterious figure appears and turns the tide of the battle in Balsa and Chagum's favor.

The stranger takes Balsa and Chagum to an abandoned temple where they plan their next move. Balsa realizes that they need to change their tactics if they're going to make it to the Palace safely. They decide to split up, with Balsa taking a dangerous path through the mountains while Chagum is escorted by the stranger through the forest.

As Balsa makes her way through the treacherous mountains, she encounters a group of hunters who are hot on her trail. Balsa fights them off one by one, but it's clear that she's outnumbered and outmatched. Just when it seems like she's going to be captured, the stranger appears again and helps her fight off the hunters.

Together, Balsa and the stranger make their way to the Palace gates, where they are confronted by a new threat. It seems that there's a traitor in the Palace, and they're out to capture Chagum by any means necessary. Balsa and the stranger must work quickly to find the traitor and save Chagum before it's too late.

In a tense showdown, Balsa and the stranger confront the traitor and engage in a fierce battle. It's a race against time as they try to rescue Chagum and escape the Palace before they're caught.

In the end, Balsa and her allies are victorious. They're able to save Chagum and make it to safety, but the danger isn't over yet. It's clear that there are still those who are determined to capture Chagum, and Balsa knows that they'll have to stay one step ahead of their enemies if they're going to survive.
