Phezzan, the Empire's new capital
Galaxy Calendar Year 801 New Empire Calendar Year 3, 14 May
The weather's suddenly turned hot this morning,
makes one feel that something bad is going to happen.
Many people have been saying this, too.
The Holy Oaks Embassy had turned onto a makeshift palace.
Its name came from the Oak trees lining the two sides of the path.
Patterns of the trees were even carved onto the gates.
Pictures of golden lions were suggested to be carved instead.
But Reinhard thought since he was going to live there temporarily,
he would not bother.
I see.
If you tell him to make some changes to this house,
Reinhard would probably say it's too troublesome.
Let's just wait until the changes are done before we tell him.
And we can get things settled once and for all.
Because Reinhard is not interested in things
that happens in less a light-year.
This day, Reinhard specially instructed Mariendorf to inspect
the construction of the new man- made lake and water-saving system.
Her Ladyship Annerose is here to visit Hilda, who's going
into labour, and to keep her company.
And the Defense Commander, Admiral Kessler had left
the capital to inspect the various defence measures on the planet.
The mastermind for the scheme had probably wanted to make use
of this situation, to choose to strike on this day.
1 1 :15
A call was made to the military police's quarters.
It was about the incident regarding Kunmel, and the Earth
Sect which powers were destroyed but revived in the last 2 years.
They want to strike when the Emperor and the military power are
not around, create chaos and take over important points in Phezzan.
As for where was the phone call made,
there was no picture, and the call could not be traced.
Nobody knew whether this was for real.
But since the Earth Sect was involved, it couldn't be taken
Iightly. Be alert,
and contact Admiral Kessler.
There's an explosion in the oil storage in Waldin.
The terrorists must be behind it! Since this accidents,
other terrorist acts are happening in other places.
And the suburban communication system was damaged in the midst
of all these, we can't contact Admiral Kessler.
To deal with each and every one of these accidents,
the military police is dispatched to 14 scenes of accidents in city.
Kessler was recognized as a capable Commander.
To change the military police that was corrupted and oppressive,
to restructure it within a short time,
his leadership and capability in maintaining peace and order
was highly appraised.
But a very capable leader,
may breed dependency from his subordinates.
And caused them to be able to handle only one thing at a time.
They finally contacted Admiral Kessler at 3 in the afternoon.
Don't be tricked. This may be a ploy.
It would be disastrous if the enemy strikes now.
What's happened?
Retreat, quickly!
She's the New Reich's Her Majesty!
Don't be rude!
Such air! You really are the Emperor's sister.
Are you alright?
Hilda,
It's not working! A fire has broken out inside,
and it's not easy to understand the situation.
If only there's a surveillance system inside.
Don't say these useless things now.
Sorry, excuse me.
It's too dangerous, you'd better leave.
But, Miss Hilda.
Oh, not, it's the Ladyship and Her Majesty,
they are still on the second storey.
Let me go, let me in.
You are Her Majesty' attendant?
Yes.
If I had not gone to buy chocolate ice cream,
this wouldn't have happened.
Really? That had happened?
Please, Colonel.
Please get Her Majesty and Her Majesty out safely.
Please, I beg you.
Do you know which room they are in?
Please come with me.
That's the room.
There's a chair under the window. Her Majesty must have sat there.
Get me a ladder.
Yes, Sir.
Hocus Pocus. Full of goodness.
Hocus Pocus...
This is the curse my grandfather's taught me.
It means, whatever mishap, disappear.
Is it effective?
My grandfather said the more you say it, the more effective it is.
Alright, carry on reading, then.
Hocus Pocus. Full of goodness.
Her Majesty, are you alright?
Let's see.
Her Majesty, Your Highness, are you alright?
You must be Admiral Kessler.
Please get the Royal Physician and the palace attendants, quick.
Her Majesty is going into labor.
Yes.
Where's the Royal Physician? And the palace attendants?
Get the supporter over here!
This is great, Her Majesty is going to be alright.
This is great, you are alright.
This is great.
Hurry up, but be careful.
Sorry.

The fire at the Embassy
The lmperial Lohengramm couple stayed at the Holy Oaks Embassy.
for less than 4 months. The terrorist acts
at the 14 places in the city are now suppressed.
Kessler rushed to the hospital to visit Her Majesty.
Sir Kessler,
I really don't know how to thank you.
Please don't say that.
I really feel responsible for letting
Her Majesty is in such danger.
And a fire broke out at the temporary palace.
Please don't say that. Hilda...
No, Her Majesty is safe, that's the most important.
I should thank you again.
Thank you.
And you are...?
My name is Marika von Feuerbach.
Sounds like a great name, doesn't it?
What about your name?
Kessler.
Ulrich Kessler.
So you are the commander of the military police?
I was one before.
Sorry. I don't know anything about military uniforms.
Looking at your age, I thought you'd be a Major, or something like
that. I thought it'd be better to have a higher-sounding title,
now I seem to make it worse.
My memory is bad.
you should have come to our residence before.
But I can't remember you. So sorry.
It's alright. I can't remember you, either.
Miss Feuerbach.
I really have to thank you, Sir.
Please don't mention it.
You can just call me Marika.
He's a boy.
He's perfectly healthy, and has no defects.
And Her Majesty is safe and sound.
Long live the Empire.
Long live His Majesty!
Long live Her Majesty!
Long live His Majesty!
Long live Her Majesty!
Long live! That's great!
Galaxy Calendar Year 801 New Empire Year 3, 14 May, 22:50
A boy is born. He's the descendant to the Lohengramm rule.
You're awake.
Your Highness.
He's a healthy boy, Her Majesty.
He looks just like his parents.
He must be a beautiful and intelligent child.
Will it be a fortune or a curse?
To be born the son of Reinhard Lohengramm.
No one can tell.
How is it?
We've capture 6 terrorists at the Embassy,
and another 20 at other places.
Up to 156 of them were shot at the scenes.
Then, that about the Earth Sect's leader?
We're still trying to track him down.
Like the ones before them, the culprits refused to say anything.
It's alright, just use the bleach.
Doesn't matter, even if they die.
Yes, Sir.
Kessler is the one responsible for peace and order.
He isn't a humanitarian protector of prisoners' rights.
If it's necessary, he would use cruel interrogation methods.
But if the prisoner is a fanatic,
physical torture would often just intoxicate him.
From his past experience in interrogating the Earth Sect
disciples, Kessler realized this.
And so, only way to force the prisoners to confess is the bleach.
During interrogation, as many as 8 Earth Sect disciples died.
Military police's cruelty became was later talked-about among people
The police finally knew of the Earth Sect's activities at Phezzan.
17-May
Move to surround the spot at Florance Street.
10.00 pm
Battle at No.40 on Florance Street began.
Although the outcome was decided right from the beginning.
But the Earth Sect disciples refused to surrender,
the battle was especially violent and the loss was serious.
Of the 224 disciples in the building,
besides the 3 who were seriously injured and in coma, the rest died.
29 of them poisoned themselves.
On the second day, 18 May, 1.30, the battle ended.
In the fierce battle, 20 of the military police died too.
From then on, the entire Earth Sect disciples were emptied from
Phezzan. And at the dawn of this day,
the execution of Lange,
the former second officer of lnternal Affairs was being held.
Lange did not cry or plead for his life.
He had already fainted when he was brought from his prison cell.
He didn't regain consciousness until the execution.
Kessler rushed over from Florance Street.
He silently watched Lange being carried out in his coffin.
Lange's wife was wearing mourning clothes, looking helpless.
Kessler would not forget that look for a long time.
Unlike the dynasties before,
Lohengramm would not pursue the blame
on the criminals' families.
For these families,
they still suffer the loss of their husband or father.
Being family to the criminals,
their lives would be tarnished.
The unpleasant happenings ended by evening.
Kessler returned to the quarters where he had not been for 4 days,
to sleep. But he summoned by the Empress, and rushed to the hospital
The Prince was saved,
and it's thanks to Her Highness and Admiral Kessler.
I would like to thank you once again.
Please don't say that.
I have not take good care of Her Majesty and Her Highness
and caused them much anxiety.
I should be reprimanded instead. I don't deserved to be thanked.
And, there's one more thing, Admiral Kessler.
Yes?
Marika von Feuerbach is my good friend. She personally
asked me to pass a message to a very friendly gentleman.
She wants me to ask, 'Are you free for dinner this evening?
Two years later, Marika became Mrs Kessler.
Planet Heinessen.
The news of the Prince's birth and other happenings
soon reached Emperor Reinhard at Phezzan.
Your Majesty, have your thought of any solution?
Reinhard is thinking what name to give to the Prince.
I've no idea what name to choose, and I can't make up my mind.
For Reinhard, he hasn't exactly
felt what it was like to be a husband and a father.
Pieces of scrunched paper, thrown around the floor
may now describe what Reinhard was feeling.
The family is it?
Reinhard has been troubled by the idea.
His mother passed away when he was young.
And Reinhard only had a vague impression of her.
His father passed away too, soon after that.
He may be alive physically, but has regressed emotionally.
He didn't know how to be a father to his son.
Not only that, he sold his daughter to Goldenbaum,
for a miserably small sum of money.
To Reinhard, his father was just a hateful figure.
Family, to him,
was only his sister, who showered him with love, like the sun.
If he could include another person,
it would be the red-hair young man, who used to live next door.
What a crude name.
Something like Seigfried.
Alexander Siegfried Lohengramm.
This will be
the name of the second Emperor of the Goldenbaum rule.
Because of the name, the baby was called Prince Alex.
Kessler had nearly wiped out all the...
underground organization of Earth sect in Phezzan.
I see. Looks like this year's going to be a bountiful year.
Even Rubinsky is captured.
Looks like Prince Alex is going to grow up in a safe environment.
But the Admiral was the one who captured Rubinsky.
What do you think of this?
Wittenfeld,
If the devil is capture by the demon, as a human
being, of course I would hope both of them would perish.
Rubinsky may have suffered from a brain tumour,
but it's too easy on him to just prosecute him like that.
It's so like you, Wittenfeld.
You are too forthright, but you are right.
People, break time is over.
Based on the report that came in just now,
the lserlohn's troops have retreated from the Corridor,
and are moving towards Heinessen.
What?
Yes, Admiral!
He's speaking for the first time.
He's finally spoken up.
Except for Wolfgang Mittermeier,
the rest have only heard Eisennach speak for the first time.
This happened at 1600 hours New Empire Year 3, 18th May
