My soul and heart embraces you...
You shall always be with me.
You must believe. I am always here waiting...
My heart is here waiting for you.
640 Galaxy calendar Year 331 Empire calendar Year
Eversince the Alliance came about,
there had been many that escaped to the Free Planets
Many escaped because of the dictating rule of the Empire.
One by one, due to the fall of the reign,
many aristocrats and royalty fled.
The 27th King Manfried the 2nd fled to Free Planets in his youth,
and returned to the Empire to ascend the throne, was one example.
These fugitives were an important source of income
for the shipping business of Phezzan.
Who on earth is he?
He's a guest.
The embassy has informed us
so you'd better not ask so much.
This is the norm, understand?
I don't know which aristocrat family he belongs to,
but he's so ill-bred.
You'd better ask someone else to deliver his food in future.
I'm not going to do it.
Can't be helped.
All right.
Documents, deposit, cash. Economy Flight, Captain Bomel.
Excuse me, I'd like a word with you.
It is painful!
Please do not behave like this.
Let me go. What do you want?
Please keep quiet?
Captain.
Don't do anything funny.
This is going too far.
You know we're experienced
in sending fugitives.
This ship is quite well-equipped.
But I can't help you to transport this fellow.
Can you tell him to behave himself?
I'm sorry if he has troubled you.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, please do your best.
Let the doctor take a look at that lady over there.
I think we can take her to the hospital.
You go with him to the doctor.
Yes.
I'll go now. Don't blame me for
being nosy but this kid should be taught how to behave.
Children who don't know how to behave are like wild animals.
Isn't he your family?
Really.
The King is due to arrive in a week's time.
He'll meet Remscheld in Phezzan
and left for the Alliance together.
The plan is going smoothly for now.
Baldic did a good job this time.
Regarding this matter,
He did fail in his mission according to my information.
As you have seen,
Lohengramm did nothing to stop the kidnapping.
Then
don't you think that the dealing between Lohengramm
and Baldic should be effective?
It may seem so on the surface.
But who was it that highlighted this matter?
Te problem is...
Do you mean to say that Baldic was being fooled?
That's right.
I think before this plan was carried out,
there's no need to let Lohengramm know.
Baldic was unable to lure him into the plan
because the enemy is Lohengramm.
So Lohengramm has the upper hand now.
I think this is a big mistake.
You can't say Baldic made a mistake now.
Don't conclude too early.
So l...
No, the leader is right.
Will you stay here tonight? Rupert.
I can't replace my father...
Don't talk nonsense.
But this is your style.
Do you want some wine?
Yes please.
Before I get drunk, I'd like to ask a favor of you.
What is it?
The Earth Sect's leader is called the Grand Bishop.
I know. He's that eerily pale fellow.
I want to know his weakness.
Do you want to include him?
No, I want him to be my subordinate.
He's the supposed reincarnation of anti-vice
but I suspect he's faking it.
If so, we can attack this weakness.
Even if it's true,
we can change him after some time.
Besides the Earth Sect, we still have the aristocrats.
What a crowd.
As the saying goes, the devils are dancing together.
Everyone wants to make use of someone but I don't want to be
made use of. I'll be the one to survive till the end.
You'll wait and see.
Julian, do you know?
What?
I'm talking about your masters.
You mean Schenkopp and Poplan?
Right.
One morning,
Schenkopp walked out of Lt. A's room,
and Poplan also walked out of Officer B's room next door.
On the morning of 2 days later, they met again in the same place.
But this time it was the other way round.
Schenkopp walked out of B's room and Poplan walked out of A's room.
Attembouroug, you've gone too far.
You do not mention the real name of the women?
This is sexual discrimination.
That's because only women talk about human rights.
Don't be like him.
You're no longer cute when you're over 30, Julian.
Don't say out my age.
Who hopes to become 30?
How old are you?
Sorry, I'm a high class being from Bright Star.
My age will decrease every year when I hit 29.
How about that?
Really? Then what are you doing here?
My job is to declare my love for women.
Then A and B are your objects of affection?
Why must you use symbols for women?
Julian, your training will end here.
I heard there's a big news to be announced soon.
Yes.
By the way,
my taste is better than Poplan's.
You want to find Julian a tutor?
Why must you find Poplan and Schenkopp?
What?
If he's influenced by them and becomes worse,
his taste will get worse.
Who knows? He'll have to marry Charlotte then.
She's a nice kid but the problem lies with her father.
Are you lazing around again?
It's a good thing if soldiers laze around.
I heard there's a big news coming up. I wonder what it is?
It's better not to think about these things.
True but...
there's an order for everyone to listen to the broadcast.
We can't ignore it.
Since we've a salary, we'll do our job.
It should be time now.
The Alliance's Council has some news to announce.
We request everyone to watch the broadcast
To the people of the Alliance,
I, Truniht hereby announces
that the time to change the history of mankind is here.
I'm honored to have the chance to
announce this.
Only you are happy.
A fugitive came to seek our protection
and he arrived a few days ago.
Many people have come here to seek freedom
in the past.
But this time, this fugitive
who came to seek out protection,
is a special person.
He's Erwin Joseph Goldenbaum!
Reinhard Lohengramm of the Empire used force to get rid of
his enemy and the ruler of the Empire.
He tortured the 7-year old King.
To satisfy his greed, he disregards the laws,
and let his people do what they want. He treats the Empire as
his property. His greed has reached us.
He aims to conquer the Galaxy.
He also wants to exterminate the light of freedom and democracy.
We cannot exist in peace with a person like him.
We must abandon al past dealings with him...
and protect ourselves.
Let us protect ourselves from this menace
and get rid of him.
Only then...
can we enjoy everlasting peace.
I'll now introduce the representative of the fugitives.
I'm the new Prime Minister of the Empire, Jochen Remscheld.
I'm grateful that you're willing to take us in
and give us the chance to regain our country.
I thank you on the behalf of my King and people.
Thank you everyone.
I'll introduce various posts in the Empire.
Firstly, the Minister of National Affairs is Remscheld.
The Minister of Military Affairs is Merkatz.
Merkatz? This is...
Don't misunderstand.
It's the first time we heard of this too.
Why did Remscheld mention the Admiral?
I'd like to know too.
I'm aware.
I think no one will believe Merkatz will betray himself.
If I were Remscheld,
I'll also let Merkatz be the minister of military affairs.
I won't consider others.
I think so too.
Then we've become the righteous men to
aid the young King in opposing the evil forces.
That's great. We've become cartoon characters.
Disgusting!
Why must we protect the royal family and sacrifice our lives?
Eversince 150 years ago,
haven't we fought against the Goldenbaum.
to restore freedom and democracy to the galaxy?
Why did things turn out this way?
But if this can bring peace,
we've no choice but to change our strategy.
It's all right if there'll be peace.
But if we allied ourselves with the Goldenbaum,
how should we deal with Lohengramm?
He'll be unhappy about this.
He'll even attack us.
But then we can't chase them away.
Besides the King is only 7 years old.
We ought to help him base on humanitarian reasons.
What humanitarian reasons?
You must be clear about something.
Did the Goldenbaum family give the same rights to others?
Rudolph and his descendent killed countless people.
You can go home and look up your history books.
Those are his ancestors' sins. It's got nothing to do with the kid.
Well, you're best at talking theories.
Actual, I'm not that great.
Don't worry. I was being sarcastic.
So the Empire is no longer with the Goldenbaum.
How can a 7-year old kid think about fleeing?
These people said they saved the King but it's just a kidnap.
Did you think about Lohengramm's reaction?
If we send the King back,
everyone heard the leader's speech.
He's so sure of himself.
We've no chance to send him back.
Then we've to fight them.
If everyone can live in peace,
they should have done so a century ago.
Isn't it ridiculous to build an alliance,
when they have lost their power?
It's inevitable to ally with the enemies when they're divided.
But it's necessary to consider the timing and our ability.
In terms of timing,
the timing was good even a year ago.
But now I think we...
You mean the time of Lippstaddt?
Yes.
But Lohengramm realized the danger at that time and caused
the Alliance to be divided to prevent them from getting involved.
The smart Lohengramm did nothing to prevent the kidnapping.
There's something more to this.
I think the person to benefit the most from this
is none other than Lohengramm.
What do you mean?
Firstly the fact that Alliance accepted the King
will cause the Alliance to be divided.
Secondly, he can send troops to rescue the King.
This time,
the Alliance will also have to fight out other anti-Empire enemies.
All those who support Lohengramm,
will hate the Alliance the way they hate
the Goldenbaum Dynasty and other aristocrats.
Then,
It's highly possible that Lohengramm
might have let them kidnap the King.
But I don't think the aristocrats are capable...
of kidnapping the King.
The King did not pass through the lserlohn Corridor when he fled.
This means that Phezzan played an important role in this incident.
Actually, we can conclude from all these
that Lohengramm...
and Phezzan are in this together.
The syndrome of the riders seemed to have started in the capital.
They want to save the King from the evil hands of the dictator.
Is it right to rescue the King...
and let Goldenbaum remain in power?
The conservatives may have a chance.
But they will be deemed inhuman if they speak.
They've lost their reasoning for the sake of this kid.
I think they'll be more excited if it was a 17-year old beauty.
Most people like princes and princesses.
Prince' and 'Princess' have always been righteous symbols in
fairy tales. And the subjects are always the bad eggs.
But if we use this kind of analysis for governing.
won't the Empire be over?
Righteousness?
Lohengramm saved 250 million people...
from the rule of the aristocrats.
These people will not stand by and watch
the Alliance ally with the rebels.
We'll have to fight with the army of the Empire.
Then, righteousness is on their side?
What should Merkatz do then?
Remscheld did not think that Merkatz
would refuse his offer of a high office.
But I think you couldn't refuse them.
My thinking may be different from Remscheld.
My loyalty to the King is no lesser than theirs.
But I just want to be a law-abiding citizen
and spend my life in peace.
It's impossible to overthrow Lohengramm's rule...
just by giving the fugitives rights.
What I don't understand is,
why would those who are supposed to protect the King
Iet him be embroiled in war and politics.
Let them give the fugitives political rights.
Why must they get the young King involved?
He's so young.
Don't they realize he's very pitiful?
I think it's a result of
demand and supply.
Demand and supply?
Right. Lohengramm's power came from
the people. He doesn't need the King's power.
On the other hand, people like Remscheld,
wants to have political power,
and must make use of rubbish.
I understand Merkatz's position.
I would like to ask
what decision has the commander made? What has he done?
Admiral Murai.
As a part of the organization,
it will be best,
if one can act according to one's situation.
Actually, I've many complains.
What I can't accept is that,
we've to accept whatever decisions they make.
There's no way to resolve this if we just sit here and talk.
We'll see what the government decides to do.
Everyone has their complains,
so why not let them say it out now?
Let them vent their frustrations
and they'll feel better.
Soldiers cannot criticise politics in public.
I think you're aware of this.
Those fools from Heinessen, shouldn't they be punished?
Am I right?
It's your freedom to think like that.
But not the freedom of speech.
I see.
So the freedom of speech is restricted.
I wonder where does the freedom of the Alliance come from?
Is this a free country?
I was 6 when I fled to this country with my grandparents.
It has been 28 years since then.
I could remember everything clearly.
The wind was extremely cold that day.
I'll never forget the way those officials at the immigration office
Iooked at us.
I'm one who has lost his home country.
It's the second time I lost my home country.
There's nothing to be surprised or sad about.
The imagination of humans is very limited.
Fate arranged this for me.
I couldn't think of it a year ago.
I thought it's better for the commander to do that a year ago.
And so I persuaded you to come here. I never thought..
You should feel honored instead.
Nothing's beats the title to be...
an enemy of Lohengramm.
The minister of military affairs is just a title.
No soldier is willing to obey your orders.
Isn't it the same now that l can't even command one soldier?
But Yang let you command his ship once.
I think you'll never have the chance again.
It's just a title with no real use.
Remscheld is good.
As for the other aristocrats, they have
no real ability.
In such circumstances,
I think it's not easy to...
form an opposition to Lohengramm.
But now, while the Emperor is still around.
It's not good to think so much.
Since no one orders me, I'll think about it.
Yang, Lohengramm has appeared on screen.
He seems to want to make a speech to the whole Alliance.
I know. I'll go now.
I hereby announce,
the King has been kidnapped by terrorists.
Upon checking,
I've found out who the kidnappers are.
The suspect was once the ambassador in Phezzan
but made use of his position for corrupted gains.
A group of aristocrats headed by Ramscheld,
have fled to the Alliance.
And have set up funds for the fugitives.
I hereby announce
these rebels who have kidnapped the King
and tried to take away the rights of the people
will be duly punished together with the aristocrats.
As for the Alliance,
the greedy who tried to challenge the peace and order of the Galaxy,
will also receive the same punishment.
Wrong decisions must be corrected with punishments.
They need no persuasion or negotiations.
They have no right to negotiate,
and they don't have the wish to either.
We'll have to use force.
No matter how much blood we'll shed,
everyone must remember,
the responsibility lies with...
the kidnappers and their accomplices.
They must bear the full responsibility.
Lohengramm is declaring war on us.
This is such a roundabout way.
He needs to do it.
Is lserlohn going to be involved in another war?
This is going to be bad.
Those officials think that,
they can do anything with the fortress.
They're too naive.
This time, Yang thought of another possibility.
Future events will prove that he guessed Lohengramm's strategy.
Yang also realises that it might involve the future of the Alliance.
But he dared not say it.
