2. OF THECopy !req
3. Planet HeinessenCopy !req
4. On February 27th, Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
5. the Office of the Imperial Fleet,
Chief of High Command...Copy !req
6. Fleet Admiral Oskar von Reuental,
was about to finish his breakfast...Copy !req
7. when he had an unexpected visit in his
quarters from High Admiral Neithart Muller.Copy !req
8. You came in at
a good time.Copy !req
9. Why don't you
keep me company?Copy !req
10. Um, no thank you.Copy !req
11. Okay.Copy !req
12. Then I'll have
you sit and wait.Copy !req
13. The Kaiser is demanding your
presence at Headquarters.Copy !req
14. If the document, which reported disquieting
signs from Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
15. had been signed only by the Chief of
Military Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
16. and Lang, Chief of Security Department, it
might have ended up only eliciting a chuckle.Copy !req
17. But the situation
turned serious...Copy !req
18. because the report was submitted in the
name of the Chief of Legal Affairs, Bruckdolf.Copy !req
19. As a Grand Court Judge, Bruckdolf
handled the Benemunde Affair...Copy !req
20. and became acquainted
with Reinhard at that time.Copy !req
21. At that time, his administrative capability and
strict political principles were recognized...Copy !req
22. which later earned him his appointment as
the Chief of Legal Affairs in the New Dynasty.Copy !req
23. For that reason,
Reinhard trusted him...Copy !req
24. and did not think that he would arbitrarily
entrap an esteemed vassal of the Reich.Copy !req
25. To begin with, the root of the problem
lay in the rumors spread by Odets...Copy !req
26. who had come to Phezzan as a
special emissary of the Alliance.Copy !req
27. The Security Department Chair,
Lang, pounced on them.Copy !req
28. William OdetsCopy !req
29. Heydrich LangCopy !req
30. Bruckdolf himself did not
thoughtlessly believe the rumors...Copy !req
31. but upon Lang's request, he visited
Phezzan to investigate Reuental's private life.Copy !req
32. Bruckdolf himself, as one in charge
of overseeing law and order...Copy !req
33. BruckdolfCopy !req
34. was certainly not too fond of
Reuental's philandering ways.Copy !req
35. But he participated in the denouncement
of Fleet Admiral Reuental in this affair...Copy !req
36. purely in the capacity
of a public official.Copy !req
37. At the same time he enforced strict official
discipline for high governmental officials...Copy !req
38. he also wanted to establish the Ministry of
Legal Affairs' influence upon the military...Copy !req
39. which often showed dictatorial
inclinations in the Lohengramm Dynasty.Copy !req
40. And as a result of the investigation,
he, with unexpected ease...Copy !req
41. discovered the existence of a woman
named Elfriede von Kohlrausch.Copy !req
42. Fleet Admiral Reuental is
harboring in his residence...Copy !req
43. a clan member of the
deceased Prince Lichtenlade.Copy !req
44. This clearly goes against
His Majesty's will.Copy !req
45. It wouldn't be too excessive to call
it the equivalent of high treason.Copy !req
46. For him to betray his true
character this way is too easy.Copy !req
47. Isn't it a scheme by someone who is
trying to entrap Fleet Admiral Reuental?Copy !req
48. What do you
mean by "someone" ?Copy !req
49. For instance...Copy !req
50. No, we shouldn't deal with
this matter with any bias.Copy !req
51. In any case, I should
question this person directly.Copy !req
52. I hope you won't mind,
Department Chief?Copy !req
53. Of course not, Sir.Copy !req
54. Elfriede von KohlrauschCopy !req
55. As a result
of the inquiry...Copy !req
56. it was discovered that the woman was
pregnant with Fleet Admiral Reuental's child.Copy !req
57. And when the woman informed him of it, the
Fleet Admiral gave her his blessing, saying...Copy !req
58. "For the sake of this child,
I should aim even higher."Copy !req
59. The woman testified thus.Copy !req
60. After the official report
was submitted...Copy !req
61. Lang wrested authority over
the accusation against Reuental...Copy !req
62. away from the Ministry
of Legal Affairs.Copy !req
63. Fleet Admiral Reuental is clearly
going against His Majesty's will...Copy !req
64. but since he has not broken any laws, the
Ministry of Legal Affairs cannot judge him.Copy !req
65. If you'll excuse me, our Internal Security
Department exists precisely for this purpose.Copy !req
66. Please leave this issue to us.Copy !req
67. In the end, Lang took advantage of
Bruckdolf and his trustworthiness.Copy !req
68. On Planet Heinessen, it appears Fleet Admiral
Reuental was detained early this morning.Copy !req
69. Lang.Copy !req
70. Yes?Copy !req
71. Don't disappoint me.Copy !req
72. Your responsibility lies in policing
the enemies within the nation...Copy !req
73. and ensuring the
security of the dynasty.Copy !req
74. If you, out of a personal grudge, denounce an esteemed vassal...Copy !req
75. who contributed to this nation's establishment and weaken the dynasty's foundation...Copy !req
76. that would be an act
of utmost disloyalty.Copy !req
77. Remember that.Copy !req
78. I understand, Your Excellency.Copy !req
79. Please do not be concerned.Copy !req
80. At 9:00 am that morning, Mittermeyer,
who had just come to work...Copy !req
81. was informed of Reuental's
detention for the first time.Copy !req
82. Where are you going, Admiral?Copy !req
83. That goes without saying!
I'm going to meet Reuental!Copy !req
84. No, you can't, Admiral.Copy !req
85. At a time when such
facts have become known...Copy !req
86. if you meet Fleet Admiral Reuental, that
will invite an unnecessary suspicion of you.Copy !req
87. Don't give me
smartass advice!Copy !req
88. I don't even have an
iota of a bad conscience!Copy !req
89. What's wrong with a meeting between His Majesty's trusted vassals and longtime friends?Copy !req
90. Why should
I have scruples?Copy !req
91. Get out of my way, Bayerlein!Copy !req
92. Admiral, what Admiral
Bayerlein says is right.Copy !req
93. Sir, even though you
are fair and just...Copy !req
94. if the lens of the viewer is skewed, the
images created will inevitably be skewed.Copy !req
95. After Fleet Admiral Reuental is cleared
of these dishonorable accusations...Copy !req
96. no one will denounce you
if or when you meet him.Copy !req
97. Please restrain yourself for now.Copy !req
98. I have had the title of Imperial
Fleet Admiral bestowed upon me...Copy !req
99. and was given the undeserved position
of Imperial Space Fleet Chief Commander.Copy !req
100. But no matter how
highly I am placed...Copy !req
101. if I'm not free to meet a friend of mine,
I'm inferior even to a commoner.Copy !req
102. Back then, His Majesty, who was still
Marquis Lohengramm at the time...Copy !req
103. ordered us to execute the males of the Lichtenlade clan and exile the women.Copy !req
104. But he did not say that the
women, who had been banished...Copy !req
105. could never be moved
from the place of exile.Copy !req
106. Reuental definitely has not gone
against His Majesty's will!Copy !req
107. Isn't that right?Copy !req
108. In any case, Fleet Admiral Reuental
is a critical member of the military...Copy !req
109. and a veteran statesman
of this nation.Copy !req
110. His Majesty, Kaiser Reinhard, will never
believe an irresponsible rumor and punish him.Copy !req
111. I, Oskar von Reuental, would
feel the utmost indignation...Copy !req
112. if I were rumored to have
undertaken looting and assault...Copy !req
113. and harmed citizens through
my authority and force.Copy !req
114. But to be said that I'm aiming for the
throne through rebellion is an honor...Copy !req
115. for a warrior of
this turbulent era.Copy !req
116. Nevertheless, ever since
His Majesty, Kaiser Reinhard...Copy !req
117. opened his Supreme Military Council
in the time of the previous dynasty...Copy !req
118. I have,
with no exceptions...Copy !req
119. contributed my humble ability to assist
him with the establishment of his hegemony.Copy !req
120. In that regard,
I have no scruples.Copy !req
121. What should be laughed at is the
identity of the one who slanders me.Copy !req
122. Who is Lang, Ministry of Interior
Security Department Chief?Copy !req
123. He is the impudent one who, the other
day, attended without qualifications...Copy !req
124. a meeting for military officials
ranked High Admiral and above...Copy !req
125. and, furthermore,
dared to speak.Copy !req
126. At that time, he acquired a grudge
because I ordered him to leave...Copy !req
127. and probably made this unwarranted
accusation for his personal vendetta.Copy !req
128. I would like you to
consider these circumstances.Copy !req
129. I understand your claims, Sir.Copy !req
130. How about this; would you like to meet
His Majesty and vindicate yourself directly?Copy !req
131. "Vindication" does not suit my intent.Copy !req
132. But if I can meet
His Majesty directly...Copy !req
133. and inform him of my true intentions, that will
leave the slanderers no window of opportunity.Copy !req
134. I apologize for troubling you,
High Admiral Muller...Copy !req
135. but I would like to have
you make such arrangements.Copy !req
136. If that is what the Fleet Admiral
desires, it will not be a problem.Copy !req
137. I will report your request
to His Majesty right away.Copy !req
138. Kaiser Reinhard himself gave Fleet Admiral
Reuental a hearing that very afternoon.Copy !req
139. Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
140. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
141. Is it true that you are
harboring in your residence...Copy !req
142. a woman from the clan of
the deceased Prince Lichtenlade?Copy !req
143. Yes, it's true, Your Majesty.Copy !req
144. Your Majesty!Copy !req
145. That woman unjustly held a grudge
against Reuental and tried to kill him.Copy !req
146. I acknowledge my impoliteness,
but I will say this nevertheless.Copy !req
147. Please consider the circumstances
and forgive his thoughtless actions.Copy !req
148. Your Majesty, Mein Kaiser...Copy !req
149. I would instead denounce the Chief
of Military Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
150. and Minister of Internal Affairs,
Security Department Chief Lang.Copy !req
151. At present time, when Yang Wenli and
his party have seized Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
152. and are publicly taking a position
of hostility against the Empire...Copy !req
153. for them to slander Your Majesty's
Chief of Staff, Reuental...Copy !req
154. is, ultimately, tantamount to
an act of aiding the enemy...Copy !req
155. in that it will harm the military's
solidarity and unity, isn't it?Copy !req
156. Mittermeyer, keep it
within moderation.Copy !req
157. Your mouth is for rallying
a large fleet around you...Copy !req
158. and it's not suited for
denouncing other people.Copy !req
159. Mein Kaiser.Copy !req
160. Mein Kaiser, while knowing that she
was a part of the Lichtenlade clan...Copy !req
161. it was unwise of me to have allowed Elfriede
von Kohlrausch to stay in my residence.Copy !req
162. I deeply regret
my thoughtlessness.Copy !req
163. Nevertheless...Copy !req
164. it would be against my will to have that
fact interpreted as a sign of rebellion.Copy !req
165. I swear that it
is not the case.Copy !req
166. Then how about the accusation that,
upon learning the fact of her pregnancy...Copy !req
167. you said you'd aim even higher
for the sake of that child?Copy !req
168. That part is completely false.Copy !req
169. I did not know that
the woman was pregnant.Copy !req
170. If I had known, I would have
made her abort it immediately.Copy !req
171. On this point,
I have no doubts.Copy !req
172. How can you say
that for sure?Copy !req
173. Because I am not qualified to
become someone's parent, Your Majesty.Copy !req
174. Before I inherited the
family name of Lohengramm...Copy !req
175. I was once given a
pledge of loyalty from you.Copy !req
176. Do you remember that night,
Fleet Admiral Reuental?Copy !req
177. It happened five years ago, on
May 2nd of Imperial Calendar 486.Copy !req
178. Mr. Blond, Mr. Redhead,
you have a guest.Copy !req
179. I am Oskar von Reuental,
Imperial Fleet Rear Admiral.Copy !req
180. I am sorry to trouble you this late in the
evening, but I would like to see Admiral Musel.Copy !req
181. At this time, Reuental explained that his friend,
Mittermeyer, was unjustly detained...Copy !req
182. and his life was endangered at the instigation of Prince Braunschweig and other nobles...Copy !req
183. and asked for
Reinhard's help.Copy !req
184. In other words, you want me to help you
save the life of Rear Admiral Mittermeyer.Copy !req
185. Yes.Copy !req
186. Even though we
aren't acquainted...Copy !req
187. you're asking me to go up against
the most influential man in the Empire?Copy !req
188. Yes, Admiral.Copy !req
189. In exchange for?Copy !req
190. The loyalty and devotion
of Mittermeyer and myself.Copy !req
191. As well as the popularity
among officers and soldiers...Copy !req
192. of low-class aristocrat
and commoner backgrounds.Copy !req
193. Will that satisfy you?Copy !req
194. No, I'm not only satisfied
but most delighted...Copy !req
195. to have the loyalty of the renowned
Rear Admirals Mittermeyer and Reuental.Copy !req
196. By the way, why do you want
to help your friend this much?Copy !req
197. What makes you
take this risk?Copy !req
198. He is a pleasant man.Copy !req
199. If a man like him is lost,
this universe, too, loses its vitality.Copy !req
200. What if I refuse?Copy !req
201. I don't think you will.Copy !req
202. Is that so?Copy !req
203. To me, Prince Braunschweig's favor seems
like a better bargain than your goodwill.Copy !req
204. I don't think you mean it.Copy !req
205. What do you think about the present
"state" of the Goldenbaum Dynasty?Copy !req
206. The decrepit body of
the Goldenbaum Dynasty...Copy !req
207. which has lasted for five centuries,
has accumulated too much pus.Copy !req
208. To treat this condition,
surgery is a necessity.Copy !req
209. As long as this
surgery succeeds...Copy !req
210. it won't be a problem even if the
patient dies, in this particular case.Copy !req
211. After all, no one can live forever,
including that great Kaiser, Rudolph.Copy !req
212. I understand,
Rear Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
213. I will make every effort to fulfill your and
Rear Admiral Mittermeyer's expectations.Copy !req
214. Do you remember that night,
Fleet Admiral Reuental?Copy !req
215. I've never forgotten, Your Majesty.Copy !req
216. Not even for one day.Copy !req
217. Okay then.Copy !req
218. I will make a
decision in a few days.Copy !req
219. Wait for the notification
in your quarters.Copy !req
220. In the meantime, your duties will be
temporarily assigned to High Admiral Muller.Copy !req
221. We can't say for sure whether or not Admiral Reuental's safety has been secured.Copy !req
222. Right now, His Majesty is feeling generous
as he recollects their old fellowship...Copy !req
223. but I wonder how the balance
will shift from now on...Copy !req
224. Admiral, if you'll excuse
me, I'd like to speak.Copy !req
225. We should obtain this Kohlrausch woman
from the hands of the Chief of Military Affairs...Copy !req
226. and have Admiral Reuental
and her meet face-to-face.Copy !req
227. If that happens...Copy !req
228. the fact that the woman schemed
against Admiral Reuental will be known.Copy !req
229. The situation won't be resolved that
easily, Lt. Commander Reckendorf.Copy !req
230. Do you mean...?Copy !req
231. You, too, know the personality
of the Chief of Military Affairs.Copy !req
232. Once he's gotten
custody of that woman...Copy !req
233. he can make her testify
to whatever he wants.Copy !req
234. I'm sorry
to disturb you...Copy !req
235. but Admiral Volker Axel von Buro from
the Space Fleet Commanding Office is here.Copy !req
236. Buro?Copy !req
237. Three years ago, Hans Eduard
Bergengrun and Volker Axel von Buro...Copy !req
238. were both under
Siegfried Kircheis's command...Copy !req
239. and were colleagues who competed
with each other with their bravery.Copy !req
240. After the regrettable
death of Kircheis...Copy !req
241. his staff officers were dispersed
and reappointed in different places.Copy !req
242. But the memory of fighting through
the life-and-death battles together...Copy !req
243. is not something
that just withers away.Copy !req
244. Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer promises
full cooperation on his part.Copy !req
245. He said that the Kaiser will definitely
make a generous decision...Copy !req
246. and urged that you
not get flustered.Copy !req
247. I'm truly grateful.Copy !req
248. Just now, he risked the Kaiser's displeasure
and defended Fleet Admiral Reuental.Copy !req
249. Please tell Admiral Mittermeyer
that I cannot thank him enough.Copy !req
250. But, Buro, you remember what
happened three years ago...Copy !req
251. the circumstances in which
Admiral Kircheis passed away.Copy !req
252. In September of former
Imperial Calendar 488...Copy !req
253. the assassin's gunfire
that was aimed for Reinhard...Copy !req
254. would have otherwise been prevented
by Kircheis's muzzle, not his body.Copy !req
255. That is because, up to that day, he alone was allowed to carry a gun while at Reinhard's side.Copy !req
256. The one who advised that the possession of a personal weapon be abolished...Copy !req
257. because it was an unfair privilege, was Oberstein.Copy !req
258. Although Reinhard, too, is responsible,
in that he took that advice...Copy !req
259. Kircheis's former subordinates still couldn't help but direct their anger toward Oberstein...Copy !req
260. who acted indifferently, as opposed to Reinhard, who fiercely reproached himself.Copy !req
261. I lost my superior, Admiral
Kircheis, for the needless...Copy !req
262. uncalled-for suggestion made by
the Chief of Military Affairs.Copy !req
263. He was young, but he was
a truly brilliant admiral.Copy !req
264. If I lose a second superior officer
in a short span of 2 or 3 years...Copy !req
265. to the same Fleet Admiral Oberstein, my life
will be miserable and ridiculous in the extreme.Copy !req
266. Hey, Bergengrun...Copy !req
267. I know, Buro.Copy !req
268. My duty is to calm down Fleet Admiral
Reuental and not let him be provoked.Copy !req
269. I will make every effort
to fulfill that duty.Copy !req
270. But if the Admiral is punished beyond
the degree of the crime he committed...Copy !req
271. I won't overlook it.Copy !req
272. Planet PhezzanCopy !req
273. Rear Admiral Anton FernerCopy !req
274. Perhaps the Chief of Military Affairs may
be serving as a shield for the Kaiser...Copy !req
275. by collecting all the antipathy and
hostility of many admirals to himself.Copy !req
276. Of course, it's possible that
I'm reading too much into it.Copy !req
277. In regards to Reuental's case,
I want to hear your opinions.Copy !req
278. Everyone knows that Fleet Admiral Reuental
is Your Majesty's esteemed vassal...Copy !req
279. and a veteran official
of this nation.Copy !req
280. If you believe rumors and
slight important vassals...Copy !req
281. the subjects will panic
and fear for their own safety.Copy !req
282. Your Majesty, I ask for your clear
judgement and fair decision.Copy !req
283. Oh, do I look like I want
to punish Reuental?Copy !req
284. At this time, Hilda evaded giving an
immediate response, unlike her usual self.Copy !req
285. Hilda, at the time of the
Battle of Vermilion a year ago...Copy !req
286. had asked Mittermeyer and Reuental
to attack Planet Heinessen...Copy !req
287. but she could not forget the vague
misgivings she had felt back then.Copy !req
288. At about the same time, under
Kaiser Reinhard's orders...Copy !req
289. Rear-Line Supreme Commander,
High Admiral Mecklinger...Copy !req
290. had already left Odin and was
heading toward the Iserlohn Corridor.Copy !req
291. Mecklinger Fleet Flagship - KvasirCopy !req
292. He must restrain the activities of Yang Wenli,
who had seized Iserlohn Fortress...Copy !req
293. whether for
offense or defense.Copy !req
294. If Yang were to move his force toward
Imperial Territory, he would prevent it.Copy !req
295. On the other hand, if he were to move
toward former Alliance Territory...Copy !req
296. he would take hold
of the rear-side area.Copy !req
297. Moreover, when Kaiser Reinhard's
Imperial expedition becomes a reality...Copy !req
298. he will perform a pincer
attack from the rear side.Copy !req
299. Although it appears as if he is provoked and is
moving his large fleet out of sheer emotion...Copy !req
300. Kaiser Reinhard has
a complete grasp...Copy !req
301. of the military situation of
the entirety of this vast universe.Copy !req
302. And that is something that Yang Wenli,
at the Fortress, has already discerned.Copy !req
