2. OF THECopy !req
3. In every age,Copy !req
4. in every place,Copy !req
5. the deeds of menCopy !req
6. remain the same.Copy !req
7. The castle of the Kaiser of the
Galactic Empire is Neue Sanssouci.Copy !req
8. That magnificent palace is divided
into four large geographical sectors.Copy !req
9. The East Garden is the center of governmental power where audiences and meetings are held.Copy !req
10. The South Garden is where
the Imperial family lives.Copy !req
11. The so-called "Rear Palace" is the West
Garden where many beautiful women live.Copy !req
12. And the North Garden is a hunting
park stocked with deer and foxes.Copy !req
13. The total area is
66 square kilometers.Copy !req
14. There are a total of
400 kilometers of corridors.Copy !req
15. But under the Lohengramm regime there
were wide reductions of palace expenses...Copy !req
16. and the West and North
Gardens were sealed off.Copy !req
17. And even in the East and South Gardens,
half of the buildings were closed off.Copy !req
18. Except for a few
formal national ceremonies...Copy !req
19. all governmental duties are
performed in the Premier's office...Copy !req
20. which carries them out
as the center of government.Copy !req
21. Also, because nearly all of the high nobles
were defeated in the Lippstadt War...Copy !req
22. the number of garden and regular
parties were drastically reduced...Copy !req
23. and every day was beginning to show the
appearance of a lonely, deserted place.Copy !req
24. The security of Neue Sanssouci
is unexpectedly lax.Copy !req
25. It's believed that the palace should
be protected by the royal guards...Copy !req
26. instead of being done
by tasteless machines.Copy !req
27. So the fact that Prince Lohengramm
has closed off half the grounds...Copy !req
28. will work to our
advantage at this time?Copy !req
29. Yes, that's right.Copy !req
30. When we go inside,
I'll act as our guide.Copy !req
31. I've been received at the
Palace countless times.Copy !req
32. Even though it's been sealed up, it's not
rebuilt or anything. Just abandoned.Copy !req
33. Besides, secret rooms and passages
have been built everywhere in the Palace.Copy !req
34. Even Prince Lohengramm
can't know about all of them.Copy !req
35. I've heard rumors about them,
but are they really there?Copy !req
36. They are.
Look at this.Copy !req
37. From below the Imperial Natural
History Research Society...Copy !req
38. I'm certain there's a corridor that passes
through the west of the North Gardens...Copy !req
39. and comes out at the feet of the statue
of Sigismund I in the South Garden.Copy !req
40. But how do
you know that?Copy !req
41. Five generations ago, my
Lansberg family ancestors built it...Copy !req
42. after receiving direct orders from
His Majesty, the Kaiser during that time.Copy !req
43. For generations since then, we've been
granted the patronizing words of...Copy !req
44. "When His Majesty the Kaiser's
person is in danger, use this corridor."Copy !req
45. The fact that I've been called
upon to carry out this great role...Copy !req
46. was decided five
generations ago.Copy !req
47. It's an irony of fate.Copy !req
48. The problem is how to break into
the Natural History Research Society.Copy !req
49. Well, it's clearly easier than
breaking into the Palace itself...Copy !req
50. but we'll need a diversion.Copy !req
51. A diversion?Copy !req
52. We'll attack some of the military and
police stations elsewhere in the Capital...Copy !req
53. and draw the attention
of the police that way.Copy !req
54. I think it's a good idea,
but Prince Lohengramm is a sharp one.Copy !req
55. He might see
through our plans.Copy !req
56. But there's no
harm in trying.Copy !req
57. But who will
we have do it?Copy !req
58. I intend to get
Phezzan's agents to do it.Copy !req
59. That's unreasonable.Copy !req
60. They've been cooperating with our
lofty objective from the sidelines.Copy !req
61. For the time being,
isn't that enough, Captain?Copy !req
62. True, maybe we shouldn't
hope for more...Copy !req
63. Phezzan Land High Commissioner's OfficeCopy !req
64. The damned blond brat came
up with a preposterous threat.Copy !req
65. Which is?Copy !req
66. It boils down to this:Copy !req
67. He can unite with the Alliance
and subjugate Phezzan militarily...Copy !req
68. so we can't think Phezzan is the
only one in an advantageous position.Copy !req
69. Impossible,
he can't do it.Copy !req
70. It's a bluff.Copy !req
71. That's not true.Copy !req
72. If he tells the Alliance about our
plan to exile the Kaiser there...Copy !req
73. and makes Phezzan the common enemy of
the Empire and the Alliance, it's quite possible.Copy !req
74. Furthermore, the Alliance is
currently in debt to Phezzan.Copy !req
75. It wouldn't be strange if the
people in power in the Alliance...Copy !req
76. looking for an easy way out, thought about
obliterating Phezzan together with their loans.Copy !req
77. Then, what will you
do, Commissioner?Copy !req
78. What do you mean?Copy !req
79. I mean about Count Lansberg
and Captain Schumacher.Copy !req
80. Should we instead erase all plans, deal with those two and feign ignorance?Copy !req
81. As there's still the
future to think of...Copy !req
82. No, that'll just make
Kessellink at home happy.Copy !req
83. Besides, there's still room to negotiate rights
of passage through the Phezzan Corridor.Copy !req
84. More than anything, Phezzan... I mean
this universe has a huge secret...Copy !req
85. that that blond
brat doesn't know.Copy !req
86. There's still room
for a reversal!Copy !req
87. The Earth Cult?Copy !req
88. That's right.Copy !req
89. We'll proceed with the original
plan to abduct the Kaiser.Copy !req
90. Indeed, it's just how
Phezzan would do things.Copy !req
91. They write the script and direct,
but make other people dance.Copy !req
92. So, what will you do?Copy !req
93. Do you intend to respond to Phezzan's
invitation and allow them abduct the Kaiser?Copy !req
94. Frankly speaking, it's a fact that he's
also rather a bothersome nuisance.Copy !req
95. I think it would be
fun to let them try.Copy !req
96. Then shall we reduce
the Palace's defenses?Copy !req
97. That's not necessary.Copy !req
98. Even now, it's not as
if it's tightly defended.Copy !req
99. Can I seriously cooperate with
a bunch who can't even manage that?Copy !req
100. Agreed.Copy !req
101. Besides, whether or not I cooperate
with them depends on if they succeed.Copy !req
102. If they succeed as they plan to, I'll use
it as an excuse to attack the Alliance.Copy !req
103. But if they fail...Copy !req
104. I'll punish Phezzan itself for committing
the crime of abducting the Kaiser.Copy !req
105. You've considered that far?Copy !req
106. Of course.Copy !req
107. I'll repay Phezzan for
underestimating me.Copy !req
108. Oh, yes, Oberstein...Copy !req
109. apart from Kesler's MPs, secretly
watch the bungling poet and his friends.Copy !req
110. There's no need
to interfere...Copy !req
111. but it's possible Phezzan will radically
alter the plan and try to silence them.Copy !req
112. If that happens,
we'll rescue them.Copy !req
113. If we save them,
they may be of some use.Copy !req
114. That's fine, but if
the Kaiser is abducted...Copy !req
115. the person in charge of Palace security will
naturally come to be charged with negligence.Copy !req
116. Admiral Molt?Copy !req
117. I'm afraid he'll atone
for that with his life.Copy !req
118. Put him to death...?Copy !req
119. Admiral Molt is an
old-fashioned man.Copy !req
120. If the Kaiser is abducted,
even if you pardon him...Copy !req
121. I'm afraid he'll be too proud to
take advantage of your kindness.Copy !req
122. Understood.Copy !req
123. It can't be helped.Copy !req
124. When the time comes, we'll
make Molt take responsibility.Copy !req
125. But only Molt.
Nobody else.Copy !req
126. Molt's direct superior
officer is Kesler.Copy !req
127. A man like Kesler
is hard to find.Copy !req
128. If the MP Inspector General
becomes a serious criminal...Copy !req
129. it'll cause unrest among the troops.Copy !req
130. Reprimand him and decrease
his salary, that's all.Copy !req
131. Your Excellency, while it is soiling
your ears, I will say just one thing.Copy !req
132. You can't clear a path through a dense forest
without uprooting some trees and rocks.Copy !req
133. Do you think I don't
understand that much?Copy !req
134. You say so...Copy !req
135. but at times, Your Excellency, it seems to
me as if you forget very rudimentary things.Copy !req
136. All heroes have established thrones
atop not just their enemies...Copy !req
137. but a large quantity of
allied corpses as well.Copy !req
138. There are no monarchs
with clean hands.Copy !req
139. Their subordinates
also know that.Copy !req
140. I'd like you to consider that, at times, to
grant death is also a way to repay loyalty.Copy !req
141. So are you saying that you also wouldn't
mind spilling your own blood for my sake?Copy !req
142. If it becomes necessary.Copy !req
143. See that you
remember that.Copy !req
144. I don't need you
any more. Leave me.Copy !req
145. The way of bloodshed...?Copy !req
146. I understand
your request...Copy !req
147. but attacking the military and police
facilities might trigger serious consequences.Copy !req
148. Wouldn't it be enough to
fabricate a republican's hideout...Copy !req
149. and keep the police
occupied with it?Copy !req
150. Then I want to magnify the confusion by
blowing up the hideout and everything in it.Copy !req
151. That's unreasonable! What'll
you do if there are casualties?Copy !req
152. Besides, if it's too gaudy, it might
be recognized as a diversion.Copy !req
153. Then, when we've returned
from the underground passage...Copy !req
154. I want a car
to pick us up.Copy !req
155. And then I want you to conceal us in the
Phezzan High Commissioner's Office.Copy !req
156. In the Commissioner's Office?
That's out of the question!Copy !req
157. We've prepared a
smuggler's ship for you...Copy !req
158. But beyond that...Copy !req
159. These are the
minimum conditions.Copy !req
160. Because if you don't give us at least that
much cooperation, then I can't infiltrate.Copy !req
161. If I can't get you
to agree to that...Copy !req
162. then we will take whatever measures we
must in order to plan for our own safety.Copy !req
163. Very well, I guess
we have no choice.Copy !req
164. In exchange for
that, don't fail.Copy !req
165. Welcome home.Copy !req
166. Your dinner is ready.
What wine will you have?Copy !req
167. None, I expect a summons
from Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
168. I won't have
any alcohol.Copy !req
169. I'll get it.Copy !req
170. Chief of Staff, Prince Lohengramm
urgently summons you.Copy !req
171. The Prince is still at the
Premier's Office, so please go there.Copy !req
172. Understood.Copy !req
173. Well, then...Copy !req
174. I forgot one thing.Copy !req
175. What could it be?Copy !req
176. Don't tell me you
didn't expect this.Copy !req
177. If you hadn't anticipated it, you couldn't
have responded to my summons so quickly.Copy !req
178. I'm much obliged.Copy !req
179. I thought you must have considered the choice
of a new Kaiser to take Erwin Josef's place.Copy !req
180. What do you think?Copy !req
181. You must have some
candidates in mind.Copy !req
182. There is the grandchild of the third
Kaiserine of the previous Kaiser, Ludwig III.Copy !req
183. Her father is Count Pegnitz, who
didn't take part in last year's civil war.Copy !req
184. He's a man who has no interests other
than his collection of fine ivory objects.Copy !req
185. It's a girl, but at this time maybe
even a Kaiserine will do.Copy !req
186. How old is she?Copy !req
187. Eight months.Copy !req
188. A 7 year old Kaiser runs
away from the throne...Copy !req
189. and an 8 month old baby who
can't even talk succeeds him?Copy !req
190. So, what will you do?Copy !req
191. Search for
other candidates?Copy !req
192. Fine. We'll give
that baby the throne.Copy !req
193. As a child's toy,
it's not much fun...Copy !req
194. but a baby who has such a toy
will be happy, even if alone in space.Copy !req
195. Two of them would
be too many.Copy !req
196. Very good, sir.Copy !req
197. By the way, Count Pegnitz's payments
for fine ivory objects are in arrears...Copy !req
198. so he's involved in civil
suits with some merchants.Copy !req
199. How shall we
settle with them?Copy !req
200. What's the
amount required?Copy !req
201. 75,000 Imperial Marks.Copy !req
202. Reach a settlement.Copy !req
203. It would be unseemly for the Kaiserine's
father to go to debtors' prison.Copy !req
204. Get the money from the Imperial
Household Department's budget.Copy !req
205. As you wish.Copy !req
206. Worthless...Copy !req
207. Today we discovered an arms
factory of the radical republicans...Copy !req
208. in a district in the southern
part of the Imperial capital.Copy !req
209. One squad of MPs
is approaching the enemy.Copy !req
210. By the way, about Count Lansberg
and the others I mentioned before...Copy !req
211. We're watching,
as per your orders...Copy !req
212. That's enough on
that subject.Copy !req
213. Then I'll go see
what the MPs found.Copy !req
214. Kesler!Copy !req
215. Sir?Copy !req
216. No, fine.
I'll leave it to you.Copy !req
217. According to schedule, the MPs
have taken the bait we prepared.Copy !req
218. I see. They should
be moving soon, too.Copy !req
219. Yes. I'll wait in front of the
Natural History Research Society.Copy !req
220. Yes. This is all
we're doing.Copy !req
221. We must make
it succeed.Copy !req
222. It should be
around here.Copy !req
223. Your Majesty...Copy !req
224. 37th Kaiser Erwin Josef IICopy !req
225. Why doesn't he kneel?Copy !req
226. Captain, this is His Majesty
the Kaiser, ruler of all space.Copy !req
227. Your Majesty, I am your subject,
Count Alfred von Lansberg.Copy !req
228. I have come to rescue Your Majesty
from the hands of a traitor.Copy !req
229. As this is an unusual situation,
please forgive any discourtesy.Copy !req
230. As we will risk our lives in Your Majesty's
attendance, we will take that as our reward.Copy !req
231. Because there are
lots of bad people here...Copy !req
232. please be a good boy,
and come with us?Copy !req
233. Your Majesty...Copy !req
234. What'll we do, Count?Copy !req
235. We have no choice.Copy !req
236. With all
due reverence...Copy !req
237. Your Majesty,
what's the matter?Copy !req
238. Your Majesty!Copy !req
239. Come on!Copy !req
240. What a farce.Copy !req
241. Vice Admiral MoltCopy !req
242. His Majesty the Kaiser?Copy !req
243. Where is His
Majesty the Kaiser?Copy !req
244. Well, that is, as we'd finished
our duties for the day...Copy !req
245. and had returned to
the servants' quarters...Copy !req
246. where normally, we would've
been told right away...Copy !req
247. Unfortunately, today the
Chief Nurse had also gone...Copy !req
248. and the night watch made
too much of a fuss, and...Copy !req
249. Where is His Majesty the Kaiser?
That's all I want to know!Copy !req
250. Therefore, when the lady in
waiting regained consciousness...Copy !req
251. she said two young strangers had
taken His Majesty off somewhere...Copy !req
252. Why didn't you
say that sooner?Copy !req
253. Search the inside of
the Palace at once!Copy !req
254. Tighten the guard
on each gate!Copy !req
255. Don't let anybody out of here,
no matter who it is!Copy !req
256. Cut off all
communications!Copy !req
257. The matter being what it is, don't let anyone
but the minimum necessary people know!Copy !req
258. Move it!Copy !req
259. Yes, sir!Copy !req
260. I beg you to guard this matter and
not report it to others, Chamberlain!Copy !req
261. Through the infrared readings,
we've discovered suspicious conduct...Copy !req
262. but it's right next to the
statue of His Majesty Sigismund I.Copy !req
263. It seems there may be an underground
passage through to the outside.Copy !req
264. But it's too much for me to decide whether
or not to lay a hand on the Kaiser's statue!Copy !req
265. With your permission,
I'll investigate at once.Copy !req
266. The underground maze...?Copy !req
267. Close the
spaceports at once.Copy !req
268. Blockade all the roads leading to the
suburbs from the Imperial Capital.Copy !req
269. Also, mobilize the MPs.Copy !req
270. Sir!Copy !req
271. But... who...?Copy !req
272. Up early, aren't
you, Fraulein.Copy !req
273. Although I wouldn't have
minded if you'd stayed home.Copy !req
274. No, I was summoned,
so it's a matter of course.Copy !req
275. Kesler, rather than apologize to me for
your responsibility, carry out your duty.Copy !req
276. Don't let His Majesty
leave the capital.Copy !req
277. Yes, sir.Copy !req
278. Vice Admiral Molt...Copy !req
279. tomorrow...Copy !req
280. No, it's already
today, isn't it?Copy !req
281. At noon I will inform
you of your punishment.Copy !req
282. You will be confined to
your office until then.Copy !req
283. Put your affairs in order,
so as to have nothing to regret.Copy !req
284. Yes, sir...Copy !req
285. Fraulein, it seems there's
something you want to say to me.Copy !req
286. It's what I told
you the other day.Copy !req
287. That, if Phezzan
transported agents here...Copy !req
288. their objective would
probably be abduction...Copy !req
289. And its target could
also be predicted.Copy !req
290. Yes, I remember.Copy !req
291. Your Excellency, you fortified the
defenses and guards for your sister.Copy !req
292. That's only natural.Copy !req
293. But on the
other hand...Copy !req
294. it seems strange that you neglected
the defense of the Kaiser's person...Copy !req
295. and let him fall into the hands
of intruders under your very nose.Copy !req
296. So your conclusion is, Fraulein?Copy !req
297. Prince Lohengramm, I think
you joined with Phezzan...Copy !req
298. and deliberately allowed
them to abduct the Kaiser.Copy !req
299. Am I wrong?Copy !req
300. You're not wrong.Copy !req
301. However, if you expect a
little confirmation now...Copy !req
302. I'm not joining
hands with them.Copy !req
303. I'm just using them.Copy !req
304. Do you think you can twist
Phezzan around your little finger?Copy !req
305. They tried to twist me
around their little finger.Copy !req
306. Do you intend to launch a large scale military
action against the Free Planets Alliance?Copy !req
307. That's right.Copy !req
308. But that was
decided long ago...Copy !req
309. this just moves up
the timing a little.Copy !req
310. However, this creates
splendid justification.Copy !req
311. And sacrificing Vice Admiral Molt
is part of that bold strategy?Copy !req
312. I won't inconvenience
his family.Copy !req
313. Come in.Copy !req
314. Vice Admiral Molt has
committed suicide.Copy !req
315. Lucke, I'll leave the
post-facto disposition to you.Copy !req
316. See that no harm comes to Molt's
reputation, or that of his family.Copy !req
317. Yes, sir!Copy !req
318. Maybe it could be
called grand hypocrisy.Copy !req
319. But it's clearly better
to do it than not.Copy !req
320. If it's an act that should be punished,
I'll be paid back for it sometime.Copy !req
321. Although I don't
know by whom...Copy !req
322. Assemble all men with the rank
of High Admiral or Admiral.Copy !req
323. Very good,
Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
324. There was a minor incident
tonight in Neue Sanssouci.Copy !req
325. Somebody abducted
a 7 year old boy.Copy !req
326. I'm having Kesler search, but the
criminals still haven't been caught.Copy !req
327. I want to hear your opinions, and then cope
with the developments of the situation.Copy !req
328. Speak up without
reservation.Copy !req
329. The criminals must be remnants
of the high nobles' faction...Copy !req
330. and their objective is to plot the resurrection
of their influence by rallying the remnants.Copy !req
331. It's obvious.Copy !req
332. But nevertheless, to abduct
His Majesty the Kaiser?Copy !req
333. We can't disparage the organizational power
and tactical boldness of the high nobles.Copy !req
334. Who do you suppose
the ringleader is?Copy !req
335. Whichever way it turns out,
it will become clear.Copy !req
336. If the criminal's caught,
Kesler will make them confess.Copy !req
337. If they're not caught, they'll
brag triumphantly of their success.Copy !req
338. Because if they don't publicize the
fact that the Kaiser's in their hands...Copy !req
339. they can't achieve the original
objective of the kidnapping.Copy !req
340. I think it's
as you say.Copy !req
341. But in that case, naturally
it will also demand reprisals.Copy !req
342. Are they prepared for that?Copy !req
343. They're probably
more than ready.Copy !req
344. Or maybe they intend to escape our
attack by using the Kaiser as a shield.Copy !req
345. Although that's useless.Copy !req
346. Yes. At least for the present, they have
a promising plan to elude our pursuit.Copy !req
347. What's the basis of
their self-confidence?Copy !req
348. As long as they're within the Empire,
they can't evade our search forever.Copy !req
349. Or could they be establishing
a secret base on the frontier?Copy !req
350. In that case, will they become
a second Free Planets Alliance?Copy !req
351. Not forgetting that, at this point the Free
Planets Alliance should be considered.Copy !req
352. The remnants of the high nobles and the
republicans may seem like oil and water...Copy !req
353. but we can't state that they
won't make common purpose...Copy !req
354. to obstruct the establishment
of Prince Lohengramm's right to rule.Copy !req
355. If the criminals run and hide in the Free Planets Alliance...Copy !req
356. we certainly can't attack so easily.Copy !req
357. As Reuental said, the Kaiser's
whereabouts will soon become clear.Copy !req
358. I want to avoid jumping
to hasty conclusions.Copy !req
359. If the rebels who call themselves the Free
Planets Alliance are involved in this scheme...Copy !req
360. we will make them
pay for their crime.Copy !req
361. They've misjudged
the situation...Copy !req
362. carried away by temporary greed,
and will come sorely to regret it.Copy !req
363. During the Kaiser's absence,
we'll hold fast by saying that he's ill.Copy !req
364. It won't obstruct the government because
the State Seal is in the Premier's Office.Copy !req
365. I request only two
things of all of you.Copy !req
366. One is not to speak to outsiders
about the Kaiser's abduction.Copy !req
367. And two, prepare the fleets under your
