Blacksmith Arthur is secretly the Red Dragon King. After five years funding fiancee Elaine's studies, she publicly crushes his ring and dumps him for Lord Kendrick. Princess Guinevere, fleeing a forced marriage to warlord Duke Fletcher, turns to Arthur. In palace halls and at the Holy Dragon Altar, he shows terrifying power yet hides his identity — until Archmage Merlin kneels and Arthur draws Excalibur, unleashing golden light and a spectral dragon's roar that shatter five years of silence.

How to read these figures

Each row is the latest value published by its source, at its date. The measures are never added together: plays shown by an app are not ad exposures. The ReelShort counter is the one the app displays; its definition is not published. A change compares two readings of the same measure from the same source.
