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

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