9. In Space Era 640,
Imperial Year 331...Copy !req
10. the Galactic Empire learned of the
existence of the Free Planets Alliance.Copy !req
11. Since then, the flow of refugees from the
Empire to the Alliance has never ceased.Copy !req
12. Merchant Ship RocinanteCopy !req
13. Most refugees were republicans
fleeing oppression by the Empire...Copy !req
14. but several were nobles and
members of the Imperial family...Copy !req
15. who fled after losing
political struggles.Copy !req
16. Among them, some later
returned to their native country.Copy !req
17. The 27th Kaiser, Manfred II,
was also one of those.Copy !req
18. To the merchant
ships of Phezzan...Copy !req
19. conveying such refugees was
an essential source of revenue.Copy !req
20. Really, that's one
hard to ferry brat!Copy !req
21. Who is he?Copy !req
22. A high-class passenger.Copy !req
23. It's because they were recommended
by the High Commissioner's Office.Copy !req
24. I haven't investigated beyond that, because I'm
taking into account the kind of business this is.Copy !req
25. I don't know about these
high nobles' spoiled ways!Copy !req
26. His parents really
spoiled him.Copy !req
27. At any rate, please get someone
else to take him his meals.Copy !req
28. I've had
enough already!Copy !req
29. I guess I have
no choice.Copy !req

37. Excuse me.Copy !req
38. I need to talk to
you for a minute...Copy !req
39. Please stop!Copy !req
40. Please calm down!Copy !req
41. Captain!Copy !req
42. Forgive my rudeness...Copy !req
43. This kind of thing
is really a problem.Copy !req
44. We've helped refugees
any number of times.Copy !req
45. As you can see, this ship
is well equipped for it.Copy !req
46. But we can't
carry mountain lions.Copy !req
47. I'd like you to discipline
him a little bit.Copy !req
48. Well, I'm very sorry to have presented
you with such an unsightly scene.Copy !req
49. For now, take this...Copy !req
50. Well, at any rate, please
make yourself at home.Copy !req
51. That girl there should
receive some first-aid, too.Copy !req
52. It's okay if you go out now,
so please come to the infirmary.Copy !req
53. Yes, please do.Copy !req
54. Right.Copy !req
55. Well, then...Copy !req
56. It may be none of my business, but
children must be strictly disciplined.Copy !req
57. Because undisciplined children
are no different from wild beasts.Copy !req
58. You're not related,
are you?Copy !req
59. Oh, dear...Copy !req
60. The Kaiser's party will
arrive in about one week.Copy !req
61. I've arranged for them to join up with
Count Remscheidt here on Phezzan...Copy !req
62. and then head
to the Alliance.Copy !req
63. So far, it could be
said to have succeeded.Copy !req
64. Boltik seems to have
done well, too.Copy !req
65. About that point...Copy !req
66. According to my informants,
it seems we can't say that about him.Copy !req
67. But Prince Lohengramm didn't devise any
measures to prevent the Kaiser's abduction.Copy !req
68. Don't Boltik's negotiations seem to have
been effective against Prince Lohengramm?Copy !req
69. On the surface, at least,
it certainly appears that way.Copy !req
70. But on speculating about
the cause of those facts...Copy !req
71. I think there's some question
as to who manipulated who.Copy !req
72. In the end, are you saying it's
Boltik who's been led by the nose?Copy !req
73. Yes.Copy !req
74. At this stage I don't think there was any need
to divulge our plan to Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
75. With Prince Lohengramm
as the opponent...Copy !req
76. one can't expect a good outcome
without making an extra effort.Copy !req
77. If we've lost the upper hand in the negotiations...Copy !req
78. this seems to be a
misstep we can't ignore.Copy !req
79. I still haven't decided if
he's failed us with this plan.Copy !req
80. Don't run ahead so.Copy !req
81. But...Copy !req
82. No. It is
as you say.Copy !req
83. I suppose you're going
to spend the night, Rupert?Copy !req
84. Even though I'm a poor
replacement for my father?Copy !req
85. Don't be silly.Copy !req
86. Well, that remark
is so like you...Copy !req
87. Will you have a drink?Copy !req
88. Yes, first of all, a drink.Copy !req
89. So can I ask you a
favor while I'm sober?Copy !req
90. Dominic San PielCopy !req
91. Sure, what is it?Copy !req
92. There's a Bishop of the
Earth Cult named Degsby.Copy !req
93. I know him.Copy !req
94. His face is
unusually pale.Copy !req
95. I want to find
out his weaknesses.Copy !req
96. To ally with him?Copy !req
97. No. To make him
my subordinate.Copy !req
98. He seems to be
asceticism incarnate...Copy !req
99. But is that
true or not?Copy !req
100. If it's not, a crack to take
advantage of would be enough.Copy !req
101. Even if it is true, if we spend
some time, maybe we can change it.Copy !req
102. Between the Earth Cult and the exiled
nobles, things are getting lively.Copy !req
103. It's pandemonium.Copy !req
104. At any time in this nation, somebody's
trying to take advantage of somebody else.Copy !req
105. As for me being taken
advantage of, forget it.Copy !req
106. In the end, I'm the
one who will survive...Copy !req
107. Hey, Julian,
did you hear?Copy !req
108. About your instructors?Copy !req
109. General Schenkopp
and Commander Poplan?Copy !req
110. Yup.Copy !req
111. One morning, just as Schenkopp was coming
out of a certain lady 2nd Lieutenant's room...Copy !req
112. Poplan came out of a certain
lady Sergeant's room next door.Copy !req
113. The two of them said hello and left, but two
mornings later, the same thing happened.Copy !req
114. But this time Schenkopp was coming
out of the Sergeant's room...Copy !req
115. and Poplan from the
2nd Lieutenant's room.Copy !req
116. You're terrible,
Admiral Attenborough!Copy !req
117. Why is just the man named by his real
name, while the woman gets anonymity?Copy !req
118. Isn't that
discrimination?Copy !req
119. Because women
have human rights.Copy !req
120. When they pass 30, people sure
get ugly, don't they, Julian?Copy !req
121. Quit saying, "30, 30!"Copy !req
122. I didn't turn 30
because I wanted to!Copy !req
123. And you'll turn 30,
too, someday.Copy !req
124. Too bad, I am a higher lifeform
who came from the twinkling stars...Copy !req
125. so I'll rejuvenate
each year after I'm 29.Copy !req
126. So, what's a higher lifeform like
that doing in a place like this?Copy !req
127. Day and night, teaching
all the ladies about love.Copy !req
128. So, you were practicing on the
2nd Lieutenant and the Sergeant?Copy !req
129. So why do the
women get anonymity?Copy !req
130. Julian, our practice
is canceled for today.Copy !req
131. It seems there's going to be some
important announcement from HQ.Copy !req
132. Yes, sir.Copy !req
133. Incidentally, I have better
taste in women than Poplan.Copy !req
134. What kind of influence are Schenkopp
and Poplan having on Julian...?Copy !req
135. Julian will be influenced by those
two and treat women badly.Copy !req
136. I have to think about
when Charlotte is his bride.Copy !req
137. Charlotte's a nice girl,
unlike her father...Copy !req
138. Oh, dear, you look like
you have nothing to do.Copy !req
139. One might even dare to
call you a salary thief.Copy !req
140. It's good for
soldiers to be idle.Copy !req
141. By the way, what's this about an
important announcement from HQ?Copy !req
142. Who knows. I want to think
about it as little as possible.Copy !req
143. Even so, there was an advance
directive for all soldiers to watch.Copy !req
144. We can't
ignore it.Copy !req
145. Well, because this, too,
comes with the job.Copy !req
146. It's almost time...Copy !req
147. An important announcement by the
Chairman of the Supreme Council will follow.Copy !req
148. All citizens will please pay attention,
as special instructions have been issued.Copy !req
149. To all citizens of the
Free Planets Alliance...Copy !req
150. I, Supreme Council Chairman Job Truniht,
am pleased to announce...Copy !req
151. that a huge reversal has been visited
upon the history of all humanity.Copy !req
152. I am deeply joyful as well as proud to be
in the position to make this announcement.Copy !req
153. Rejoice all you want.Copy !req
154. The other day, a defector seeking personal
safety became a guest of our free nation.Copy !req
155. Many people have come here seeking freedom, fleeing from the cruel hand of despotism.Copy !req
156. Notwithstanding that,
this name has a special ring.Copy !req
157. Namely, Erwin Josef
von Goldenbaum!Copy !req
158. In the Galactic Empire,
Reinhard von Lohengramm...Copy !req
159. after purging his opposition by military
force, is now abusing his authority as dictator.Copy !req
160. Treating the Kaiser cruelly, even
though he is only seven years old...Copy !req
161. changing laws according
to his own whims...Copy !req
162. appointing his subordinates to important posts...Copy !req
163. treating the nation as
his private possession.Copy !req
164. And now, his evil ambition is
turning towards our nation!Copy !req
165. He's trying to rule all
of space despotically...Copy !req
166. and extinguish the light
of freedom and democracy...Copy !req
167. which humanity has
continued to protect!Copy !req
168. It's impossible to coexist
with a person like him!Copy !req
169. We must join forces with the unlucky
people chased out by Lohengramm!Copy !req
170. We must protect ourselves from the huge threat he poses toward all of humanity!Copy !req
171. By averting this threat, the human race
can make a new, eternal peace a reality!Copy !req
172. Well, let's introduce the representative
of the government in exile.Copy !req
173. I am the Premier of the Legitimate Imperial Galactic Government, Johann von Remscheidt.Copy !req
174. At this time, I want to
express my deepest thanks...Copy !req
175. for being given the opportunity and a base of
operations to restore justice to our fatherland.Copy !req
176. I am speaking to you on behalf of
His Majesty the Kaiser and our comrades.Copy !req
177. I will now announce the cabinet members of
the Legitimate Imperial Galactic Government.Copy !req
178. First, Count Remscheidt is also
appointed Secretary of State.Copy !req
179. For Secretary of the Military,
High Admiral Merkatz.Copy !req
180. Your Excellency Merkatz,
this is...!Copy !req
181. Please, don't misunderstand.Copy !req
182. This is absolutely the first either
His Excellency or I have heard of this.Copy !req
183. I would like to know why Count
Remscheidt named His Excellency.Copy !req
184. I know.Copy !req
185. Nobody thinks Admiral
Merkatz has sold out.Copy !req
186. I think Count Remscheidt had to offer the seat
of Military Secretary to Admiral Merkatz.Copy !req
187. Any other candidate
is unthinkable.Copy !req
188. I agree.Copy !req
189. We're knights of justice,
who save the wandering boy Kaiser...Copy !req
190. and fight the usurper,
who is evil incarnate?Copy !req
191. This is ridiculous!Copy !req
192. Are we playing some kind
of cartoon heroes or what?Copy !req
193. Dammit!Copy !req
194. In the first place, why do we have to shed
blood to protect the Goldenbaum family?Copy !req
195. Hasn't the reason we've been
fighting for over a hundred years...Copy !req
196. from our great
grandfather's generation...Copy !req
197. been to overthrow
the Goldenbaum dynasty...Copy !req
198. and restore freedom and
democracy to the whole galaxy?Copy !req
199. But if this leads to peace, a change
in policy will also be unavoidable.Copy !req
200. If this leads
to peace, fine.Copy !req
201. But even if there is a peace
between us and the Goldenbaums...Copy !req
202. what about between us
and Prince Lohengramm?Copy !req
203. From his point of view,
there's nothing in it for him!Copy !req
204. I don't doubt that he'll go
mad and come attacking us!Copy !req
205. I'm just saying we
can't turn the Kaiser away.Copy !req
206. To begin with, even if he's called "Kaiser,"
he's a seven year old child.Copy !req
207. From a humanitarian standpoint,
we have to help him.Copy !req
208. Humanitarianism, is it?Copy !req
209. Are you saying the members
of the Goldenbaum family...Copy !req
210. have any right to ask
for humanitarian treatment?Copy !req
211. How many billions of people did
Rudolf and his descendants kill?Copy !req
212. Try reading the history
texts over again.Copy !req
213. It's his forefathers' crime.Copy !req
214. It's not that child's fault.Copy !req
215. You're a sound rationalist,
aren't you?Copy !req
216. It's rational to find
fault with each thing I say.Copy !req
217. I'm not
that much...Copy !req
218. Don't be modest!Copy !req
219. I was
being sarcastic!Copy !req
220. The Galactic Empire and Goldenbaum
dynasty are no longer monolithic.Copy !req
221. A child of seven years of age
doesn't defect of his own free will.Copy !req
222. One might call it "rescue" or "escape,"
but it must look like he was kidnapped.Copy !req
223. I'm more worried about
Prince Lohengramm's next move.Copy !req
224. What if he comes demanding,
"Give back the Kaiser...?"Copy !req
225. You heard the
Chairman's splendid speech.Copy !req
226. Now that he's talked so big,
there's no way he can return him.Copy !req
227. If so, it'll be nothing
but a full-scale war?Copy !req
228. Well, if we were going to be friends, we
should have joined forces a century sooner.Copy !req
229. To begin with...Copy !req
230. our new partners ran away, having lost
effective authority, and said "Let's be friends."Copy !req
231. Sounds like a
joke, doesn't it?Copy !req
232. To join forces with one
side of a divided enemy...Copy !req
233. for Machiavellianism,
that's good.Copy !req
234. But for that to work, they have to have
real power, and the timing has to be right.Copy !req
235. But in this case,
we lack both conditions.Copy !req
236. As for timing...Copy !req
237. not just a century ago, but even
a year ago would have been better.Copy !req
238. During the
Lippstadt War?Copy !req
239. Yes. Because he
anticipated that danger...Copy !req
240. Prince Lohengramm made the
Alliance forces splinter...Copy !req
241. so as not to interfere
in the Empire's civil war.Copy !req
242. Well, that brilliant Prince Lohengramm
didn't let the Kaiser be stolen helplessly.Copy !req
243. When you think
about it...Copy !req
244. the one who profits the most from this
is none other than Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
245. How so?Copy !req
246. For one thing, accepting the Kaiser's exile,
splits public opinion within the Alliance.Copy !req
247. And they can take military action using the
recapture of the Kaiser as justification.Copy !req
248. Additionally,
we in the Alliance...Copy !req
249. could be said to have conspired with
the forces opposed to the Empire.Copy !req
250. The people of the Empire who benefit by
Prince Lohengramm's reform policies...Copy !req
251. just as they hate the Goldenbaum
dynasty and the high nobles...Copy !req
252. will come to hate the
Free Planets Alliance.Copy !req
253. So you think Prince Lohengramm
intentionally let the Kaiser get away?Copy !req
254. It's probable enough.Copy !req
255. Besides, I don't think the
remnants of the high nobles...Copy !req
256. had enough power left to pull
off the kidnapping of the Kaiser.Copy !req
257. Since the Kaiser didn't pass through
Iserlohn Corridor to flee to the Alliance...Copy !req
258. I rather suspect Phezzan
planned this incident.Copy !req
259. Going still further...Copy !req
260. other than Prince Lohengramm
and Phezzan having joined forces...Copy !req
261. can you think of any other explanation
for these phenomena that have surfaced?Copy !req
262. Maybe a "Knight Syndrome"
is spreading in the capital.Copy !req
263. "Let's fight for justice to
protect the child Kaiser..."Copy !req
264. "... from the hands of the tyrannical
and unscrupulous usurper."Copy !req
265. They call it justice to restore the
Goldenbaum dynasty's tyrannical power.Copy !req
266. Looks like we
need a new dictionary.Copy !req
267. It's not that there isn't
an argument for discretion...Copy !req
268. but just speaking up might
brand you as inhumane.Copy !req
269. Most people seem to have lost rationality
and logic because of a seven year old child.Copy !req
270. If it were a pretty 16 year old girl, the degree
of enthusiasm would probably be higher.Copy !req
271. Because people in general
love princes and princesses.Copy !req
272. In fairy tales, it's long been recognized
that princes and princesses are right...Copy !req
273. and ministers of
state are not.Copy !req
274. But we can't decide justice
based on fairy tales.Copy !req
275. Justice?Copy !req
276. The 25 billion citizens who Prince Lohengramm liberated from the rule of the high nobles...Copy !req
277. will never forgive the Alliance
for allying itself with this reactionary force.Copy !req
278. If so, will we come to fight a citizens' army
of the Empire, led by Prince Lohengramm?Copy !req
279. At that time, won't justice
be on their side instead?Copy !req
280. Well, Admiral Merkatz,
what are you going to do?Copy !req
281. I don't think Count Remscheidt expects
Admiral Merkatz to refuse the seat.Copy !req
282. I don't think there's any need to
go contrary to his expectations.Copy !req
283. I don't share
Count Remscheidt's views.Copy !req
284. But my loyalty to His Majesty the Kaiser
is no less than the Count's.Copy !req
285. As for me, I think I'd like His Majesty to lead a trouble-free life as an ordinary man.Copy !req
286. It's impossible for them to overturn
Prince Lohengramm's authority...Copy !req
287. just by constructing
an exile government.Copy !req
288. What's hard for
me to understand...Copy !req
289. is that the people who should
be defending the young Kaiser...Copy !req
290. are conversely pushing His Majesty into
a vortex of political struggles and war.Copy !req
291. If they are to form an exile government,
they should do it themselves.Copy !req
292. They shouldn't involve His Majesty,
who is not yet endowed with judgment.Copy !req
293. If you think about it, supply and demand
are splendidly unified, aren't they.Copy !req
294. Supply and demand?Copy !req
295. Yes. Since the base of Prince
Lohengramm's power is the people...Copy !req
296. he doesn't need the
Kaiser's authority anymore.Copy !req
297. Meanwhile, Count Remscheidt,
by saying his power isn't real...Copy !req
298. must grasp control of
an exile government...Copy !req
299. putting them in a situation where
they have to utilize his discards.Copy !req
300. Admiral Merkatz's
position is understood.Copy !req
301. But I want to ask what Your Excellency
will choose, and how you will act.Copy !req
302. Rear Admiral Murai...Copy !req
303. I don't think the people
within an organization...Copy !req
304. should be able to conduct themselves
just for their own convenience.Copy !req
305. I also think there are a mountain of things
I want to say to those government big shots.Copy !req
306. What's especially provoking...Copy !req
307. is that they're compelling us to go along
with what they've arbitrarily decided.Copy !req
308. No matter what we discuss here, we
won't discover a solution for the situation.Copy !req
309. At any rate, shall we wait for the
reaction from HQ and the government?Copy !req
310. In this situation, if you've got a mountain of
things to say, you should try saying them.Copy !req
311. You'll feel better if you cry out,
"The king's ears are donkey ears."Copy !req
312. Active duty soldiers can't voice
political criticism at a public meeting...Copy !req
313. right?Copy !req
314. I think the asses of Heinessenpolis
have managed to deserve criticism.Copy !req
315. You're free to think,
but never free to speak.Copy !req
316. I see, so is the freedom of debate a
narrower realm than the freedom of ideas?Copy !req
317. And where does the "Free" in
Free Planets Alliance derive itself from?Copy !req
318. A free country...?Copy !req
319. When I was six years old, I fled to this free
country, brought by my grandparents.Copy !req
320. It's already 28 years ago,
but I remember it well.Copy !req
321. The contemptuous looks
of the customs officials...Copy !req
322. penetrating as coldly as the wind,
treating exiles like beggars.Copy !req
323. I probably won't
forget it until I die.Copy !req
324. In short, I'm a man who already
mourned his homeland once.Copy !req
325. If once
becomes twice...Copy !req
326. I'll be neither
surprised nor grieved.Copy !req
327. Man's power of imagination
is a limited thing, isn't it.Copy !req
328. Just one year ago...Copy !req
329. I would never have dreamed that fate
was preparing me for a role like this.Copy !req
330. In my way, I urged exile, thinking it
better for Your Excellency's sake...Copy !req
331. I thought you'd be happy.Copy !req
332. I feel that there's no higher title than this
for one who opposes Prince Lohengramm.Copy !req
333. When you say "Secretary of the Military of
the Legitimate Government," it sounds good.Copy !req
334. But in actuality, there isn't a single soldier
under Your Excellency's command, is there?Copy !req
335. If I'm not there to lead one
soldier, it's the same as now...Copy !req
336. But, even if it was only temporarily,
you took charge and led Yang's fleet.Copy !req
337. This time, even that much
isn't to be hoped for.Copy !req
338. It's merely an empty title,
there's not one gram of actual power.Copy !req
339. Count Remscheidt's one thing,
but as for the other people...Copy !req
340. except for nobles with court rank,
there are no special talents.Copy !req
341. Among those who can rally opposition
against Prince Lohengramm...Copy !req
342. I can't help but feel
unsteady about every one of them.Copy !req
343. But there's His
Majesty the Kaiser...Copy !req
344. Even if you worry too much,
it can't be helped, can it.Copy !req
345. I still haven't formally
accepted the request.Copy !req
346. Let's take our
time in deciding.Copy !req
347. Admiral, Prince Lohengramm has
appeared on the comm screen.Copy !req
348. He seems to be making some speech
to both the Empire and the Alliance.Copy !req
349. Understood.
I'll go at once.Copy !req
350. I formally acknowledge that terrorists have abducted His Majesty the Kaiser Erwin Josef.Copy !req
351. The whereabouts of His Majesty,
as well as the lawless criminals...Copy !req
352. who abducted His Majesty,
have both become clear.Copy !req
353. This band of criminals...Copy !req
354. are former high nobles led by a former
Imperial High Commisioner to Phezzan...Copy !req
355. Johann von Remscheidt,
a Count under the old system.Copy !req
356. The villains, hiding among the rebels who
call themselves the Free Planets Alliance...Copy !req
