Alexander lies dying, suspecting his closest friend of poison. One OVA episode. That's all it takes to dismantle everything two men built together under Aristotle's roof. The medicine sits in his hand, a gift or a betrayal, impossible to know which, and in that single moment of doubt, a lifetime of brotherhood collapses into something colder. This isn't about conquest or empire. It's about the weight of not knowing if the person you trust most has already decided to kill you.
Alexander and Philippus study together under the scholar Aristotle from a young age, and those lessons grow into a close friendship meant to last a lifetime. Years later, Alexander leads his Macedonian troops east against Persia's forces. When sudden illness strikes him during the campaign, Philippus offers him a medicine he has made himself. Yet Alexander has received a secret letter claiming that Philippus is in contact with the enemy. Now he must choose: trust the Persian friend he has known all his life and accept the remedy, or treat him as a foe. The single-episode drama OVA is based on an original story by Ikeda Daisaku.
