After the meeting on 10th July,
Oberstein ask to see Reinhard,
Reinhard was very surprised after listening to him.
Base on the present situation,
my lord, it's time you consider about your marriage.
Both you and Mariendorf said the same thing.
Is it really a strange thing that I have no partner?
I remember you are older than me by 15 yrs,
and you are not married, aren't you?
No on will feel sorry if there is no descendent from Oberstein
family, but it's different for the Lohengramm Empire.
Because the Empire can bring people justice and peace,
The people hope that there will be a son to ensure the continuity,
Of course they will wish the Emperor will get married and have a
child. But, the father and brother of the Empress,
that is, the relatives often brag about their honour...
and abuse the rights.
Thus, bringing harm to the country.
In the past when they appoint an Empress,
some Emperors would wipe out the Empress's clan,
to prevent trouble.
May His Majesty please take note.
It sounds like you are opposing a particular person
to be Empress.
But you must know,
the candidates for the Empress is not confirm.
You are telling me all these now,
is it appropriate?
I know I am too much.
If the Empress becomes politically significant,
you feel that it is inappropriate, right?
His Majesty is wise.
Are Mariendorf and his daughter still reflecting?
They are capital criminal's relatives. They've no choice.
In the times of the Goldenbaum, it's the norm to wipe out the clan.
Maybe what the followers of Earth Sect wants, is not only my life.
They even want to take the Minister of National Affairs...
and Confidential Secretary whom I trust, way from me.
They don't need to be punished anymore.
They will resume their post from tomorrow.
Yes sir.
Another thing,
stop asking them any questions.
Those who violates this order,
is violating my order,
and will get punish accordingly. Regarding
the performance of Lennekanpt who stationed at Alliance,
Assistant has sent us a report.
What's the content? The lmperial Provisional
Governor has tightened the watch on Marshal Yang.
It seems like, he feels that Marshal Yang
has close connection with the anti-government sect from Alliance.
The details are all recorded here. For a bunch of
useless people to unit, they need a hero. This is inevitable.
Is it really all right if we leave it?
Lennekanpt based his theories by guessing,
and seems to insist that Yang has the intention to rebel.
But now,
if Marshal Yang don't have the intention,
we don't want him to get the idea of rebelling by doing anything,
isn't it? We better leave it for now.
Lennekanpt hates people intervening his rights.
But, my lord,
Marshal Yang is the hero of Alliance.
if we punish him,
we may provoke Alliance to get angry with the Empire State.
When this fire goes out of control,
it is difficult to put it out
I am sorry, please forget what I said.
Minister of Military Affair may want to make use of Yang
to assemble the anti-Empire force,
and wipe them out.
Or use him to instigate the break up of Alliance.
Will things turn out smoothly as you plan?
As the saying goes, tread on the worm and it will turn.'
Given this situation,
the first to get it will be Lennekanpt.
No matter what, this will be a good show.
will it be what Minister of Military expects?
Will the present peace construct a new generation?
or is it just a short break before another chaos?
It seems like the history has come to a divergence.
I don't think we need to pity Heinrich.
During that few minutes,
he stood on the stage as the main lead.
He purposely chose the garden surrounded by trees,
and used all his strength,
Acting skillS? Yes.
I don't think Heinrich really wants to kill His Majesty.
it's the Earth Sect who instigated him.
At his last stage of life,
to win that last few minutes,
he played the unhonourable role of an assassin.
Maybe.
Miss.
a TV phone call directly from Neue Sansoucci.
The caller said his name is Streit.
It seems that he has good news for you,
and ask you to receive the phone fast.
I knew His Majesty
will not exile us out of the palace forever.
but maybe many people will be unhappy.
I am not going to lose out to them!
What did you say, Miss?
Nothing, I am talking to myself.
Miss Mariendorf and her father are free.
This is indeed good news.
It's unreasonable for Oberstein to say those words
and to suggest the wiping out of the whole clan.
This has long ended with the last dynasty.
I feel that...
the pretty and smart Lady Mariendorf,
is the best choice to be Empress.
If they have a child,
he will be a very smart crown price.
Don't you think this is all very exciting?
I think so too.
But, it has to depend on the two of them.
When I decided to marry you,
it's not because you are a officer with great potential,
but because you are you.
If I knew it earlier,
I would have dressed up to propose to you.
That was my most nerve-wrecking moment of my life.
Dear, Commander Reuentahl is here.
This is rare.
Occassionally.
That Truniht.
He may pass his name on as a businessman.
Businessman?
Yes.
Earlier on, he sold out the Alliance and the democracy...
to the Empire State.
This time he betrayed the Earth Sect.
Whenever he sells something the history will start to change,
I can't help thinking him as...
a businessman who is on par with the Phezzan traders.
Makes sense.
From the point of sales, he is an outstanding businessman.
But, he is not as good in buying.
All he bought were despises and warnings.
Who will ever respect people like him?
Ultimately people like him...
sold off his personality in different stages.
you are right, Mittermeier.
In his life,
he don't need respect and love from others.
A shameless fellow like him,
always have a firm grip and strong stem.
Like a parasitic plant.
Truely a parasitic plant.
If he is a parasitic plant,
it is very likely that he plans to make New Empire his parasite.
and absorb the nutrients of New Empire. Actually he came
specially the last time to tell us about Earth Sect's plot,
That because he wanted to gain our trust and get a post.
If that's really the case,
his vines have begin to play up the branches of the New Empire.
You are right, 'despicable' is not enough a word to describe him.
In terms of being bad, he is extraordinary.
he should be watched closely.
Dear, Admiral Bayerlein looking for you.
Commander I happen to be at nearby,
so I detoured a little to inform you something.
I heard a very strange rumour.
Cabinet Minister...
What rumour?
It's just a rumour,
without any evidence,
and cannot be justified.
It's alright, tell us.
Yes sir.
This rumour came from the captives of Free Planets Alliance.
I heard that Admiral Merkatz is still alive...
Which Merkatz?
You mean Willibard Joachim von Merkatz?
He is still alive?
This is just a rumour.
Merkatz already perished in the battle of Vermillion,
Who dares to spread such an irresponsible rumour?
That's why I am here. To relate this rumour.
This may be true.
No one has seen his body.
If he is hiding from us and staying in other places,
this is nothing strange.
But if this is the case,
Yang would know about it,
and...
we can't be sure that he has no intention to rebel.
But, this is just a rumour.
Yes, it is just a rumour.
To act rashly because of a rumour and,
to accuse people with made up crimes...
we better leave all these to the Ministry of lnternal Security.
Then, I shall take my leave first.
I heard that you changed your woman again.
How I wish I can say that it's just a rumour, but this is truth.
Anyway, they do the coming on.
You are wrong, this time I have tried my best...
I use power and violence to get her.
I think I am getting worse,
If I do not repent,
I will be mocked at by people like Oberstein and Lange.
Don't say that!
This is unlike you.
What happened actually?
Actually I was nearly killed by that girl.
What?
When I was about to step into my house a knife came towards me.
she has been patient to wait a few hours for me.
Normally if there is a beauty waiting for me, I would be happy.
She told me her name,
she said her name is aaa.
And she added,
her mum is the niece of the late Lichenlade.
Prime Minister Lichenlade's family?
I think I understand what's going on.
No wonder she hates me so much.
To her, I murdered her uncle.
On that, I share the same responsibility.
No, it's different.
That time, you were rushing to the PM's office to steal the seal.
But, what did I do?
I attacked Lichenlade's home.
I captured that old man.
I am her most direct enemy.
And later on...
I put that old man and his family to death.
It's reasonable for her to hate me so much.
She knows all about these?
Not then, but now she knows everything.
Don't tell me it's...
You are right, I told her.
Why must you tell her this...
and land yourself in this situation.
I thought so too.
Until I know that these are meaningless I am normal.
But later, it becomes abnormal.
I am strange, I know.
Admirable. You didn't run away.
I didn't do anything wrong,
why should I run?
You are a criminal who tried to kill the Empire's Chief Commander.
Even if I killed you, it's all right.
But I didn't even have you arrested.
I am a generous person.
Not a murderer like you.
What a beautiful hand.
It's the same as my mother's. I heard she has beautiful hands too.
Like a sculpture from first grade ivory.
Her hands never plan to move for anyone.
The first time she carried her son,
she actually wanted to use a knife to stab into one of his eyes
Of course, that was the last time.
What a waste.
I feel sorry for your mother's failure.
Your mum knew her son is going to commit a unforgivable crime,
so she put aside her feeling,
to remove a scum for this society.
A great mother to have such an unfilial son.
Just need little changes and it can be a monument writing.
I really don't understand,
is it really that difficult...
for you to lose the privileges that your parents had?
Both your grandfather and father did not earn their privileges.
They just spent time leisurely, didn't they?
Didn't you realise that...
this type of life has no righteousness?
The so-called nobles are actually systemized robbers.
The use of violence is bad,
are you saying that use of power is acceptable?
I thought at least you are a nice woman.
I have lost my interest, get out.
Go and find a suitable man,
a generation that uses power and law to ensure a good life.
go and find a good-for-nothing who misses such generation.
But before this I must tell you clearly,
the most despicable and ugliest thing in this world,
is someone without ability and talent,
but get the power through passing down.
As compared to that,
to conquer it is a much noble act.
At least he paid a price for the power.
And he knows,
it is something that don't belongs to him.
I understand now.
I know you are a natural betrayer,
if you think you are that talented and good,
go ahead and try!
Your arrogance will result in you
betraying your master one day.
The Emperor is 9 years younger than me.
but he controlled the universe by his own strength.
although I don't like the nobles from Goldenbaum,
I don't have the will to overthrow them.
This is where I cannot be compared to him.
August Samuel Wahlen received an order to conquer the Earth.
To save time,
he will do the formation on the road,
only high speed fleet set out.
Wahlen's wife passed away four years ago.
He sends his son to his parents before setting out.
How is it?
How is your new ship?
Very good.
After Lohengramm Dynasty was established,
the first ship completed by the weaponry factory is Parcivale.
Emperor Reinhard has given this honour to...
Neidhart Muller.
He saved Reinhard during the battle of Vermillion.
His own fleet was destroyed. But he changed to
four different ships to show his undying fighting spirit.
Since then, the title of lron Tower is well known by all.
Reinhard rewarded him, besides
Ietting him inherit the title of Marshal and to promote him,
he was given this honour.
The new ship's first battle.
You hope His Majesty will appoint you the task too, right?
Yes.
We may not have chance to fight anymore.
Yes.
If so, this is probably the last battle.
What's wrong?
Nothing, it maybe the former battle at Vermillion,
Wahlen suffered a lot from Yang.
To give him a chance to save his name,
he was thus appointed for this mission.
The same goes for...
Steinmetz and Lennenkanpt who are stationed at the Alliance.
I see.
What's next?
Minister of Learning, Dr Leyfer
is writing the history of Goldenbaum.
He has reached a chapter,
and would like you to listen to his report.
13th July, Wahlen's fleet set out to conquer the Earth.
Julian comes to Earth on this day.
The altitude here is around 4000m,
the followers of Earth Sect who are...
going on a pilgrimage at the 8000m...
must first get use to the altitude of that place.
No mistake, I remember seeing her before.
Do you feel dizzy?
No,
I am much younger than you thus more adaptable than you.
All these bragging means you are fine.
Everything is ready.
Alright, go over now.
Let's go.
Alright.
Earth sect's headquarters...
is about 350km south from here.
The road is not very smooth,
better don't do work out here,
we'll stay here for one night and reach there tomorrow.
But we have so many luggages.
Isn't that too many?
The luggages behind are more for donation.
Donation?
It's a bribe for the organization...
for the priest and the rest.
Nobody will reject things that are free.
It makes a big difference.
That's the highest peak on Earth.
Is that Mountain Himalayas?
Yes, when it was Earth's peak period,
it is the base for replenishing energy.
there is an air-raid shelter inside for the leaders of the
government. But because of this,
it became the target of the Black Lancers 2704 years ago.
Mountains with 1000m are all destroyed.
but now, there are still many 8000m mountains.
Did the population on Earth,
decreased rapidly because of Black Lancer's attack?
This is one of the reasons.
But there are about 10 billion people still.
However the sudden drop in population,
is because most gave up on Earth and migrated to other planets.
To survive, those who left behind have conflicts,
to add to the problem of Religion.
Now there are only about one thousand million left.
Is the fall of Earth
due to this meaningless conflict?
I don't know.
800 years after the AD era,
it became a society in isolation,
it would be strange if it doesn't fall, wouldn't it?
The ridiculous part is that,
when it sunk to the furthest depths,
it can use an extraordinary method...
to merge into human's society.
Are you trying to imply something?
Yes.
If only Earth Sect's headquarter had a resource room.
Even if there is, you cannot enter it.
Of course we can't.
If we try to go in,
there will be some reaction against intruders.
But this might be a good chance to investigate.
Earth Sect's headquarters.
This is the remains of the air-raid shelter...
of the old ministers of the military,
They used to hide here and instructed the battle.
That sounds nice,
actually they stayed here to ensure their own safety.
Looking at the tragedy on ground through the screen.
Not only is there enough food, there's no lack of wine and
women as well. So these people survived?
No,
The commander of Black Lancers realise this truth,
and destroyed the underground water system.
A few billion tons of water flooded here,
out of the 2400 people trapped here,
not more than 100 survived.
Thank you, I shall help myself.
I am from ddd.
Young man, where are you from?
I am from Phezzan.
From so far away, you are incredible.
You are a sincere young man.
It's nothing.
Take this please.
This is the financial data.
How reliable this is, is questionable.
The hall, the club,
confession room, hostel, canteen,
but there is no resource room.
The data for the public,
Is there a dormitory for the sisters?
I don't think so.
That is, both men and women stay together?
To think that you can make such connections, I really envy you.
Really?
What's this?
Maybe the room numbers.
It's separated.
We are together in this...
on purpose?
Grand Bishop is here...
Grand Bishop...
To look at Grand Bishop,
is a very rare chance,
I am too lucky, too lucky.
If possible, I wouldn't want to see that man at all.
That old man who looks like a dry wood is the Grand Bishop?
he may not get burnt during cremation.
So the branch in Odin is destroyed?
I am sorry, it is destroyed.
De Villier.
Baron Kunmel is dead.
All members from that Earth Sect's branch,
has committed suicide.
Kunmel.
what did he live for and what did he die for?
Instead of putting it to Kunmel's mistake,
we might as well say it's because we are too rash.
To mourn for the failure is pointless.
Since the attack of Empire army is near,
we have to solve this.
We will talk about the assassination of the Emperor later.
You are right we must defend our holy land.
We can't let them fall into the hands of pagans.
You don't have to worry for this,
Grand Bishop already has a solution.
Since we can't get near to the Emperor,
we can get near to a commander, right?
Yes.
What a foolish follower.
Man and their birth has nothing to do with time.
Often, they are ambitious,
Born in a planet that is far away from the central power.
Where do they expand their ambition?
De Villier can only choose to expand towards Earth.
Galaxy Calendar Year 799 New Empire year 1, 14th July.
