On the way back from lserlohn,
they could finally get in touch with Phezzan.
Mittermeier contacted Phezzan's Safety Bureau,
and tried to find out about something that had been on his mind
That lady called Elfriede Kohlrausch.
What happened to her?
That is...
she's left with a newborn baby a few days ago.
I don't know where she is now.
What?
We're short of manpower over here at the police quarters
as there were cases of important officials mudered a few days ago.
We focused all of our manpower on these cases.
You have not found the culprits yet, right?
So the capability of our Safety Bureau
isn't exactly impressive.
Kessler's army would have solved this long ago.
Mittermeier hated Elfriede
for sabotaging his friend Reuentahl.
But when I think of the way he carried the baby, I found him
to be pitiful. Moreover, the baby's innocent.
The baby...
Mittermeier and his wife have been married for 8 years,
but have not have any baby.
He could't help but think that Heaven's unfair.
Galaxy Calendar 800 New Empire Year 2, 1 July
Emperor Reinhard returned to planet Phezzan.
What's surprised him was the country's
internal sercurity report
The terrorists who killed Silverberche were arrested.
Because of his meritorious deed,
Lange was promoted to head the country's Safety Bureau,
to an important official at the Ministry of lnternal Affairs,
and was rewarded with $100,000.
Lange donated all the money to charity.
Those who know him
think he's being hypocritical.
Since the time when Lange was a junior officer,
he started donating part of his salary to either education
or charity.
People came to know of this only after he died.
Next, 7 July
The two Marshals, Fahrenheit and Steinmetz
and an important official Silverberche,
were given a funeral of honour.
The Emperor attended it in person,
With Oberstein's careful preparations,
the funeral went without any mishaps,
and ended smoothly.
We should let Oberstein
handle funerals and other ceremonies in the future.
He seems to suited for these,
and he doesn't cause trouble to others.
Looks like we can't do it yet this year,
we still have to be in mourning.
Why not?
It's like this, I'm getting married.
Congratulations.
I congratulate you on behalf of the whole army.
But, do you know who I'm marrying?
She should be the black-hair nurse who
took care of you when in were hospital, isn't it?
Yes, how did you know?
Fahrenheit, Steinmetz
and Yang Wenli.
Yang's wife is beautiful too.
We are taking the terrorist attack too lightly.
Not only Silverberche,
even Yang Wenli died in the terrorists' hands.
We can't take this lightly you know.
There are the people who still support the old ideals,
the survivors of the old Empire,
Phezzan's old-time power rule,
survivors of the Earth Sect, all these people
could be the master-mind behind the terrorist attack.
I thought the Earth Sect has already been destroyed by us.
Who would have thought this attack was done by the Earth Sect's
survivors. I'll be in charge of
the Earth Sect's case from now on.
From this point of view,
is it safe to hand this case over to the Safety Bureau?
They did find the culprits for the attack some time ago,
but they still can't track down Rubinsky.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Sir.
Save your fake greetings.
You've called for your loyal subjet Lange.
What exactly has happened? You've even called for me.
Nothing urgent. But I've to trouble you.
I hope to use your influence, to help re-establish
the relationship between the new rule and me.
I just have to say a word to the Emperor,
and you'll not have to carry the heavy burden anymore.
Who do you think you are to ask me to do this?
You are too cruel to have said this, Chief,
no, it should be Second Officer.
I've not committed any crime, but was robbed of Phezzan's rule.
I'm a victim.
You're saying that you are against the Emperor?
No, why would l?
Emperor Reinhard is the greatest heroic figure throughout history.
If he wants it,
I'll pass the power to rule Phezzan to him anytime.
The Emperor's rule permeates every corner of the world,
I'm nothing but a small pebble to him.
But it's kind of a pity to forge ahead for the sake of it.
Oh, of course,
the Emperor doesn't need bad eggs like you.
The whole Universe is under His Majesty' control now.
Yours words are making me worried.
But you should understand my loyalty to you.
Those people I've prosecuted are the culprits who
boomed the Ministry of Labour, weren't they?
I've been keeping an eye on them for a long time,
but I didn't have proof against them.
Times are different now. Not the
times anymore. Under Emperor Reinhard's rule,
you can't sentence anyone without any evidence.
So you know this woman too, Sir?
I think this woman has gone through some major
upheavals and has been affected emotionally.
She's so beautiful. It's such a pity.
Strange. How did you know this?
For one thing. She keeps thinking she's
a descendent from the Lichtenlade's family.
If she really is his descendent, she has no reason to stay in
Phezzan. Only this?
Another reason.
She gave birth to a baby some time ago.
And this baby's father is an important man in the Empire.
The father is Marshal Reuentahl...
Oh, I see.
Don't bother beating around the bush.
You think you can let Reuentahl take the blame as a traitor?
You think you can really destroy that guy?
You're a smart man.
If you wish,
I'll try my best to build what you wish for.
If you can do that,
I promise you, that I'll talk to the Emperor.
But as long as this matter has not succeed,
I won't be so foolish as to believe
that guy's empty promise.
You're right.
You live up to your name.
And I won't resort to dirty tricks to win your trust.
First of all, listen to what I've to say.
It happened not long ago, and shocked the whole of Phezzan.
The Acting officer Baldic was captured and put in jail.
According to the Safety Bureau's announcement,
Baldic was an accomplice in setting up Silverberche.
The Phezzan administration officer hated Silverberche for
taking over his post, and resorted to the scheme.
Baldic was also injured during the attack,
but it was just his ploy to pin the blame on somebody else.
Next day, an announcement was made, saying that Baldic
poisoned himself in jail and died.
The whole case came to an end.
If something went wrong with his injury at that time,
Marshal Oberstein and l would be in trouble.
Think about it,
I didn't have the evidence to say I was not the culprit.
If Langewanted to sabotage me,
he would make me out to be the culprit, wouldn't he?
Commander,
there's something wrong in this.
Maybe all along, Lange the one to spin false truths and framed Baldic.
Can it be possible?
He's a despicable guy.
No, If he really wanted to...
If not entirely impossible to accuse me of some crime.
Marshal Reuentahl's case is a good example.
If this goes on, our Empire would become
a place full of terrifying cross-playing politics.
I may be exaggerating, but if
we want to nip the problem in the bud, we'd better do it quick.
But, what exactly are we going to do that?
Lutz felt uneasy about this.
And he went to seek help from his reliable friend,
the Admiral about Lange and asked if he has any action plans.
Send a message to Odin.
Do you really trust that guy Lange?
Dominique, it's so unlike you to ask this kind of question.
He's not somebody of any importance.
He'll happy if he thinks he's more important
than he actually is.
I'm just letting see the mirror he wants to see.
What about you then?
Letting that small fry assassinate Baldic.
I don't feel good seeing my ex-subordinate become an acting
officer, and serving the Emperor.
You're doing something despicable,
and you can still enjoy your drink?
Don't you notice anything?
Or are you just pretending not to notice?
What is it?
Alright, I'll tell you.
I don't care if it's Baldic or other innocent person.
I only want to let Lange do the killing.
What he doing is throwing a rope around his neck.
If he wants to get free of it,
you will simply tell the Emperor
of his involvement in murdering Baldic.
How about it? Sounds good?
Marshal Oscar Reuentahl
is going to carry the blame of being a traitor.
Neither Rubinsky nor Lange is able
to lead the army to attack the enemy,
but they can kill those fighting on the battlefield from the back.
I wish I didn't know this.
But, isn't he the father of this child?
There are all kinds of people in this world.
Some couples try hard for a baby but can't.
Some parents try to kill their own flesh and blood.
There are some whose father is killed by their own mother.
You just tell me what you want.
You have to let this child grow to hate his father.
It won't be good if he dies before the time comes.
Wait.
Get the child some milk and clothes.
I'll let you handle this.
No problem.
It may be better if we get him a nurse.
What happened? He's had a relapse?
Get me those medicine.
The relapses are getting more frequent.
I'll take you to the doctor.
Even doctors can't help.
Forget, it's your health. I don't care.
But I think you shouldn't see the doctor.
Because a magician may be in a better position to do this.
What does that mean?
What? I thought you've know this already.
Half of the Earth is cursed by the Grand Bishop.
And the other half is due to what your son,
Rupert Kesseling.
Of course the doctor can't do anything about this.
Stop talking about that.
But you might really be under a curse.
The Grand Bishop has the power to do this.
I think the sickness has gone to your brain.
If the Grand Bishop's curses can come true,
he could have use it to kill Emperor Reinhard.
He's so young and energetic.
What happened?
It's true.
I heard Reinhard has been feeling unwell and lying in bed.
Maybe it is...
Nuts.
Jul, 29
The Emperor issued the order
to relocate the capital of the New Reich Empire to Phezzan.
Planet Odin,
following the announcement to relocate,
those who initially remained at Odin
would shift accordingly, within the year.
And the Chief of the Gundarmie as well as the Empire's
Defence Commander, Admiral Kessler,
would shift his quarters to Phezzan.
And the Defence of Odin would be
taken over by Admiral Mecklinger.
The shift of the Military quarters,
from different levels of both the officers and their families,
totaled over one million,
and need traveling speed of thousands of light-years.
The relocation has brought some apprehension, and also joy.
Many finally had the chance to their families, after years
of separation. Hilda, who was the Chief of Logistics,
had not seen her father Baron Mariendorf for more than 10 months.
Your Majesty,
should we ask Her Ladyship Annerose
to shift to the Capital too?
Miss Mariendorf,
this has nothing to with Military affairs, has it?
You don't have to bother about what happen in the palace.
You should focus your intelligence on my conquest of the Universe.
What about Kircheis's grave...?
It's at Odin.
I may want to relocate our settlement,
but not the graves.
It was during the busy shifting days,
that an unexpected and unhappy request
reached Reinhard. It was a request
from Truniht. He wished to take on an official post.
Since Truniht wants an official position,
I'll grant his wish then.
Reuentahl needs a supporting officer
who's familiar with the territory, anyway.
Your Majesty is not thinking of...
Ietting him be the advisor of the New Territory!
This position would suit him.
If the people of the former Alliance throw stones at him,
it would be helpful for Reuentahl.
We don't have to make this kind of arrangement, do we? We can simply
assign him to some distant planets for exploratory mission, right?
Truniht accepted the unreasonable order on the next day.
He accepted it?
Reinhard misjudged his sense of shame.
He thought Truniht would not take on the position.
Once Truniht rejects the position, he could have
a reason not to let Truniht take on any official post.
On what grounds does he have to return to the country he has
betrayed? That will be your Majesty's decision.
This order has caused a stir in the army.
What? Truniht's going be an officer for the New Territories?
Reuentahl's going to have a hard time with this subordinate.
I see a problem. No matter how thick-skinned he is,
Truniht will take on the position.
That may be more to meets the eye.
What do you mean?
Maybe Truniht is acting on somebody's orders,
using this as a ploy to sabotage Reuentahl.
Who can that be?
The Military Minster?
We are blaming things on the Military Minister.
We're being biased.
But we still think so.
But he's not going against the Emperor.
The way things go, it's going to be more complicated.
Let me bring this to Bergengran
on a personal level.
Let's try it.
Yes, Sir.
Oh yes, Sir,
That Truniht guy,
is going to be the officer.
Returnung to the country he has abandoned for glory.
Surprising isn't it?
Never thought the Emperor would make this kind of arrangement.
And the guy is thick-skinned to have accepted the position.
But, somebody may be using Truniht as the puppet.
Phezzan is going to be the New capital of the New Reich.
and become the true center of the Universe.
So?
When people move, they'd have to do spring cleaning, wouldn't they?
Not just those in Phezzan,
but to get the whole nation to spring clean for the Emperor,
What do you think?
I see, Truniht was engaged
To lure the black fox
and other animals out of the ground.
The Admiral's strategy,
and the way he goes around carrying them out,
always leave me in awe of him.
But, what the Admiral tends to do
is often based on doing away with what is harmful,
to protect the Empire's safety. his is the model he tends to use.
Soon after that, a typhoon
was predicted to sweep across the Empire central.
Though the poles are eaten by termites,
the whole house could fall over if we cut off the poles.
With the dangerous winds
who would dare stay behind?
Even the Military officer
could be squashed under the poles.
Maybe he's prepared for it.
I shall return to Odin one day.
But I still don't know when it'll be.
Because right now, I still have to
tend to many matters. They can't be left unattended.
Sis, it's dark. So dark.
Reinhard
Reinhard, it alright.
I'm sorry to have left you home alone.
Sis, it's dark.
Well, not matter how dark, I can still see your golden hair clearly.
It's shiny and it's beautiful.
Your golden hair has lighted up the darkness.
You've become a source of light yourself.
You don't have to be scared anymore, Reinhard.
No matter how dark it is,
nothing can harm you.
You've become the light itself, Reinhard.
Think about it, when Reinhard needs his sister,
she always come to him.
But when sister can't come to him,
could it be that sister needed Reinhard's help?
But then,
Reinhard couldn't help his sister.
Reinhard owed sister a lot.
He knows it.
