The collapse of Goldenbaum Dynasty results in
many confidential data of the country
being revealed gradually.
Empire Calendar Year 46,
Because of Rudolph's death,
The Empire State became politically unstable.
Rudolph's grandson Sigimund l
succeed the throne,
With the assistance of his father.
He launches a large-scale suppression...
against the communists.
On the other hand he credits the good citizens.
That is he established the foundation of the Empire State
using both the hard and soft approaches.
The 3rd generation Richard l,
Loved women and enjoyment more than politics,
But he carried out his duty.
Under the arrogant empress,
and surrounded by 60 concubines,
He ended his life plainly.
The 4th generation Otfried l
is much more serious than his father.
And was regarded as the most boring Emperor.
His purpose of living,
was to digest the packed schedule.
He had no interest in Arts or Literature.
The books that he read voluntarily,
were memoirs of Rudolph
and family medicals.
He was known as the grey man and is into conservatism.
He hated changes and revolutions.
Everything had to follow the example of Rudolph.
One day, after Otfried I finished his meal,
and was about to take a 15 mins walk
in the garden as usual...
There was an emergency report,
The military base had a large scale explosion,
More than 10000 soldiers died.
Upon hearing the news,
Otfried I had no reaction,
And replied! There is no room for this report today.
This was him,
To him, schedule is untouchable.
But he can't plan,
So this task was passed on to the Secretary Yekur, resulting
in the growing responsibility and power of the latter.
Later Yekur was made the Privy Council Advisor
and Household Chief Officer.
In everybody's eyes,
Emperor Otfried l
was just a puppet of Yekur.
It's a very obvious truth.
After Otfried l's death,
His son Kaspar succeed the throne.
Unlike his father, Kaspar
took after his grandfather and loved music.
And above all, his favorite was Castrope Troupe.
Castrope Troupe refers to...
young singers who was castrated to keep their voices.
That is to say, Emperor Kaspar is a homosexual.
When Rudolph was alive, he once claimed
that homosexual will poison the descendants.
Yet his descendant was a homosexual,
It's the irony of the history.
The power was still in Yekur's hand,
And he wanted his daughter to marry the Emperor.
Obviously he wanted to become the Emperor's relative and strengthen
his power. But Kaspar rejected this proposal,
He refused to break up with his pet,
Frulian, of the Castrope Troupe.
Unable to achieve his aim, Yekur
planned to murder Frulian,
So he led his soldiers into the palace.
But as he stepped into boulders of the wild roses,
He was shot by the soldiers led by Lisnat.
Lisnat had always hated Yekur'a arrogance,
Upon received the order from the Emperor,
He killed Yekur in the name of getting rid of a traitor.
After the chaos,
The Emperor left a letter to give up the throne,
He took some jewellery,
And disappeared with Frulian.
By then, he had been King for about a year,
Since then, he was nowhere to be found.
After 140 days, Erich, the brother
of the previous two Emperors succeeded the throne.
The Ministers pinned their hopes on Erich's son
who is more popular and more capable.
Franz Otto Heinz.
In fact,
Erich was 76 yrs old when he was crowned. Everyone felt that
it's just a matter of time for Franz Otto to succeed the throne.
but Erich was surprisingly healthy and longevity,
He continued to rule.
When he was 95 yrs old,
The oldest crown price,
Franz Otto who was already 74 yrs old,
died earlier than the Emperor.
As the son of Franz Otto died early,
His grandson,
Karl, who is the great grandson of Erich,
Became the crown prince at 24 yrs old.
If Karl have waited,
He would be crowned at a young age.
But to Karl,
Since young, Erich is an old man,
He's an eerie existence.
This old man would forever be there.
He might occupy the throne forever.
Karl was blinded by this thought,
And he decided to murder the old Emperor.
Old Empire Calendar Year 144, 6th April,
The 96 yrs old Emperor Erich died
while having dinner with 5 concubines.
The old Emperor's death shocked the Ministers,
But at the same time relieved.
There was no exception, everyone was sick of him.
A grand funeral without mourning was held
under the instruction of Karl.
After the funeral,
Everyone thought he would succeed the throne.
However, on 1st May's ceremony, the one crowned was not Karl,
But Sigismund ll.
It surprised everyone.
Of course the truth was not announced,
and was hidden for more than 100 years.
But the truth is,
when Erich died, the five concubines...
were at a loss.
They were charged for being careless,
and forced to commit suicide by Karl.
Before they died, one of them
used a lipstick and wrote the truth inside a bangle.
Her brother, who was an officer got to know about it.
It was written that Karl poisoned the cup.
As we were the accomplices,
Karl forced us to suicide to silenced us,,
And claimed that we died for the Emperor.
As the officer could not save his sister in time,
He decided to take revenge.
He took the evident to the second successor,
Sigismund ll.
Sigismund ll was delighted to get the reason
to seize the throne,
Using that evident,
He forced Karl to give up the throne.
Of course the truth was not announced,
The coup plot was carried out secretly.
Karl was first imprisoned in the palace,
Later he was transferred to a mental institution.
Within the thick wall, he was well treated.
He lived till the age of 97 yrs old, longer than his great
grandfather. When he died,
The generation had passed from Sigismund ll to Otfried ll,
And reached the generation of Otfried ll.
Nobody remember the name of this old man...
who lost his throne for killing the Emperor.
From Old Empire Calendar 217 year the year Karl died,
Empire State and Alliance
engaged in the war of the Dakor Star.
The Empire Fleet suffered their first defeat.
Empire Calendar Year 331
Goldenbaum Dynasty
had 8 Emperors,
And they produced many beautiful and evil stories.
Looking at the informal reports gathered by the Learning department
There are moments that Reinhard sneers and moments that he is in
thoughts. Unlike Yang Wenli, he is not very interested in history.
For a far sighted person,
It's impossible that he doesn't know about history,
But,
one does not focus on the past.
He can't follow others,
That's because everyone follows him.
Dear, a notice from the government.
The pension is indeed reduced.
It's for this pension,
that I did so many things that I wouldn't want to do.
Will it affect our family?
Can we survive on this?
It's not that bad,
But what suffocates our family
is not the money.
What joy do they get by watching
such a harmless people like me?
I really feel like asking them what's on their mind.
Really.
What are you laughing at?
No, nothing.
No matter what,
It's not a good thing to get unwanted
suspicion from the Empire Fleet.
So, I think...
You better be a good lazy bum.
Marshal Yang Wenli leads a very peaceful life.
We can't see any signs that he will rebel.
Having a beautiful wife, and have food without working for it,
I really envy him.
This is an ideal life.
Ah, yes...
What are you doing?
Don't be deceived by Yang Wenli,
He is just pretending.
Someone who made us suffer so badly...
won't be contended with
the plain retirement life.
He must be planning to overthrow the Empire State.
He must be working on a long-term plan,
The simple life is just a shield.
Go and watch him now,
It shouldn't be this way,
I know it's very inconvenient and unpleasant...
to Marshal Yang Wenli,
But this is an order,
I have to obey it as a subordinate.
So I hope you can understand and pardon us.
It's alright, don't worry about it.
Everyone must be loyal
to his salary, isn't it?
I used to be like that,
It's not just a piece of paper,
It's something to tie people down.
So, I shall take my leave first.
It's useless complaining to people who follows instruction.
In Alliance,
one have to obey even though the order is wrong.
Let alone the Empire army.
Moreover, Lennekanpt
believes in regulation.
he will not recognise that it's a better decision to disobey,
and will follow and acknowledge bad decisions.
In short, you hate Lennekanpt very much.
I don't hate him, I just dislike him.
Anyway, if he intervene too much into my life,
I will take action on him too,
And make Lennekanpt...
It will be good if Lennekanpt can go back,
the question is who's the successor.
If it's someone who is irresponsible,
And likes to play some tricks
at a place beyond the supervision,
He is the person for us.
Only when Emperor Reinhard becomes degenerated,
will he appoint such a person.
True, that's the root of the problem.
You are right.
We welcome the enemy's degeneration,
And in fact, we should encourage it.
It's so pathetic,
I knew that politics and military belong to the domain of devil,
Yet I am involved in them.
Yes, dear.
It is like that...
We are married for a month,
I have no confident
in performing the duty as a wife.
Do you have any complaints about my cooking?
No, why should I complaint?
Especially the last dish...
Let me think what is it called.
It's really delicious.
I am always poor in cooking...
Don't let your thoughts run wild, it's not true.
Oh yes,
When we escaped from El Facile,
The sandwiches you made is really very delicious.
I am only good at making sandwiches.
No, not only sandwiches,
There are others, for example pancakes and burgers.
They are all sandwiches.
That's true.
I can only make simple meal,
I know nothing about those delicate dishes.
It's alright, we have a lot of time,
Learn it slowly, alright?
True.
That's the way.
Each and everyday, it's not easy.
But we don't have to worry for a break in.
Using the country's money to safeguard our home,
We should be grateful.
Oh yes,
Iet me make them some coffee.
As your wish.
Charlotte.
Coming.
Charlotte, among those soldiers out there,
Get one that you think looks the smartest.
Alright.
May I help you?
Not me, it's my wife.
Oh, what's the matter?
Nothing much, it's tough on you and
I would like to offer you some coffee.
Thank you, but we are on duty.
It's not possible?
I am really sorry,
When we are on duty, we cannot accept invitation.
If there's nothing else, I will take my leave.
Good bye.
Can this be useful?
Dear, I'll count on you for this.
Count on me? Must I drink?
All?
Of course, or it will be too wasteful.
It's going to be a sleepless night.
We can't relax on the watch.
That man will surely take action,
And harm Empire State and His Highness.
We must get rid of the problem before it happens.
What do you think? Answer me!
Yes sir,
I'll watch Marshal Yang more closely.
Captain, may I ask you,
Is it more important to make them obey us,
Or make them welcome us?
Of course it's let them obey us.
That's right,
Because we are the winner, the ruler,
We've the responsibility to construct a new system.
Although we once lost,
But to fulfill a greater responsibility,
We must be determined before we can be successful.
Uncle Yang Wenli, Sister Frederica, how are you?
How are you?
Welcome.
My mum asked me to bring you this.
What's this?
It's a blueberry pie.
Mum said that you've to eat it now.
Thank you.
Come on, take a seat inside.
Alright.
What's wrong, dear?
Why do they called you sister and me uncle?
Would you prefer them...
to call me aunty?
Dear, come over.
What's wrong?
Look at that, so cute.
So smart of them
to communicate in this way.
Our phone is bugged,
Our letters are checked.
This may be the only way to communicate.
But the same method cannot be used repeatedly.
It's better to discuss the details directly.
You are right.
If only there's any excuse for us to visit them.
I have a good idea.
Frederica is here.
Alone?
She brought her husband.
I still feel that
a couple made up of commander and assistant
is not very suitable.
Both of them will feel bad.
I feel that the stage of a civilian family
is too small for this couple.
One day, they will fly off to a faraway place.
Hey, I did not marry a prophet.
No, I am not making a prediction.
I am very sure of it.
Oh my Goodness.
Why are you here today?
I am here to learn cooking from the mistress.
Learn cooking?
Yes.
Then what time do you intend to go back?
It should be around 9 o'clock.
Hello.
Take this milk jelly to your mum.
Come here quick.
Uninvited guest.
This way.
What's wrong? The husband of Mrs Caselnes.
You should bring me brandy occasionally.
All you know is to bring things that my wife likes.
But, if you need to please someone,
of course it has to be someone who have the power.
Isn't your wife the one who cook for you?
You are so narrow minded.
I put food on the table.
No matter how it looks on the surface the one with real power is...
Your wife.
Alright, make the table.
And...
Treat her like a child... Yes, this is the way.
I want to learn various dishes.
Firstly, I want to learn how to cook meat.
Next will be fishes,
Followed by eggs.
I am here to trouble you,
I hope you can be patient with me.
You are very determined, Frederica.
But,
I don't think it is necessary...
for you to learn cooking in different category.
It's more important to learn how to control your husband.
You allow him to climb over your head if you pamper him too much.
I feel that Frederica is really brave.
I think she is very brave too.
But if Julian doesn't come back earlier,
When he steps into the house, he may discover...
the bodies of a malnourished young couple.
What are you talking about? It's too inauspicious.
Just joking.
There must be a limit to a joke.
You are not very humourous,
If you don't take note,
You will cross the line easily.
It's very irritating going overboard.
Listen, daddy did not lose,
Giving in to a wife is a tactic.
This is the secret for maintaining a happy family,
You will know it when you grow up.
It's the same for Uncle Yang Wenli.
He should not have this leisure,
He may return to where he belongs.
Actually, I feel that maybe I am
someone who just want to destroy
the completing new order.
I maybe just a criminal in the history,
That's how I feel.
But even if Emperor Reinhard comes up with any good policy,
I can't pin my hope on authority politics,
That's why I am planning.
What we can do now is to wait, isn't it?
You are not too good with your timing yet.
Man has the desire,
Because his body needs it,
So just take whatever you desire,
That's the best for your body.
Yang Wenli begins his peaceful marriage life.
But,
Something that threatens to destroy this peace...
will soon happen.
