2. OF THECopy !req
3. The events following the fall
of the Goldenbaum Dynasty...Copy !req
4. volumes of data which had been
classified as national secrets, and sealed...Copy !req
5. were about to be brought
into the light of day.Copy !req
6. In the 46th year of the Imperial Calendar, shaken by the death of its founder, Rudolf...Copy !req
7. the governmental powers
of the Galactic Empire...Copy !req
8. were handed over to Rudolf's
grandson, the second Kaiser, Sieggst I...Copy !req
9. with his father as
regent until he was of age.Copy !req
10. He began a regime of brutal suppression
against those who believed in democracy.Copy !req
11. However, he gave a fairer
government to loyal citizens.Copy !req
12. In other words, he was a master at
ruling with a velvet-covered gauntlet...Copy !req
13. and fortified the foundations of
the ruling body of the Empire.Copy !req
14. Although the
third Kaiser, Richard I...Copy !req
15. loved beautiful women, hunting
and music more than rulership...Copy !req
16. he never overstepped the bounds of proper
behavior which the supreme ruler must obey.Copy !req
17. He lived out his life without incident,
with his charismatic queen...Copy !req
18. and around sixty
beloved concubines.Copy !req
19. The fourth Kaiser, Ottofried I,
was more serious than his father.Copy !req
20. However, he was austere, watched his health
fanatically, and indulged in no pleasures.Copy !req
21. No one could be like him. He was a person
whom no one ever found interesting.Copy !req
22. To live exactly according to a
full schedule, with no time off...Copy !req
23. seemed to be his only
reason for living.Copy !req
24. He had no interest in music,
art or literature.Copy !req
25. Legends say that the only
books he read for himself...Copy !req
26. were the autobiography of Kaiser Rudolf,
and various books on home medicine.Copy !req
27. Named the "Ash-Colored Man," he was a
solemn ruler, despising any reform or change.Copy !req
28. He kept Kaiser Rudolf
close to his heart.Copy !req
29. One day, when Ottofried I
had finished his lunch...Copy !req
30. he was going to take a fifteen
minute walk, as scheduled...Copy !req
31. when an unexpected
emergency report came in.Copy !req
32. A large-scale accident, an explosion,
had occurred on an army base.Copy !req
33. Upwards of ten thousand
men had been killed.Copy !req
34. When Ottofried I heard this,
he said dispassionately...Copy !req
35. that listening to such an unexpected
report was not on his agenda for the day.Copy !req
36. To him, his schedule
was inviolate.Copy !req
37. However, he possessed neither creativity nor
the planning ability for making schedules.Copy !req
38. It was Imperial Secretary Baron Eckhart,
to whom he left such things...Copy !req
39. who naturally saw his power
and his sphere of influence grow.Copy !req
40. Soon, Eckhart also gained the posts of Imperial Inquisitor and High Steward of the Empire.Copy !req
41. It was plain to everyone that Kaiser Ottofried I
was nothing more than Eckhart's puppet.Copy !req
42. Upon Ottofried's death, his
son, Kaspar, took the throne.Copy !req
43. Unlike his father - in fact, more like his
grandfather Richard, Kaspar loved music...Copy !req
44. And even more than instrumental music,
he loved the Kastorade choir.Copy !req
45. The Kastorade was
comprised of young men...Copy !req
46. who had endured castration,
to preserve their boyish voices.Copy !req
47. In other words,
Kaiser Kaspar was homosexual.Copy !req
48. That Rudolf, who had slaughtered homosexuals for fear they would pollute the future...Copy !req
49. would count a homosexual
amongst his descendants...Copy !req
50. must be one of the
true ironies of history.Copy !req
51. Eckhart, who still held
the real reins of power...Copy !req
52. tried to match his
own daughter to Kaspar...Copy !req
53. in order to become his maternal
relative, and gain influence over him.Copy !req
54. However, this was the one
thing Kaspar refused him.Copy !req
55. He would not part company with his
beloved Florian, a boy from the Kastorade.Copy !req
56. In a rage, Eckhart decided
to murder Florian...Copy !req
57. and brought soldiers
into the palace.Copy !req
58. But the moment he
stepped into Heckenrosehall...Copy !req
59. he was shot dead by troops under
the command of Baron Rittsner.Copy !req
60. Rittsner, who had always despised
Eckhart's hold on power...Copy !req
61. had received Imperial consent to this
action, ridding the Empire of a bad seed.Copy !req
62. However, when the
incident was over...Copy !req
63. the Kaiser left a declaration
of abdication on his throne...Copy !req
64. and taking a few jewels,
disappeared with his Florian.Copy !req
65. He was on the throne for exactly one
year, and was never heard from again.Copy !req
66. After one hundred and
forty days of being vacant...Copy !req
67. the younger brother of the
previous Kaiser, Ottofried I...Copy !req
68. Archduke Julius,
succeeded to the throne.Copy !req
69. Actually, the senior statesmen were
looking beyond Julius himself...Copy !req
70. to the talents and fame
of his son Franz-Otto.Copy !req
71. When he took the throne, Julius was
already seventy-six years of age.Copy !req
72. So most believed that Franz-Otto
would soon succeed him on the throne.Copy !req
73. But Julius was far
healthier than they thought.Copy !req
74. He held firmly to the throne,
and when he was ninety-five...Copy !req
75. Archduke Franz-Otto, the
oldest heir apparent in history...Copy !req
76. died of an illness,
at the age of seventy-four.Copy !req
77. Since the Archduke's
sons also died young...Copy !req
78. his grandson - that is,
Kaiser Julius' great-grandson, Karl...Copy !req
79. became the heir to the throne
at the age of twenty-four.Copy !req
80. Karl should've only had to wait a few years,
before he could wear the crown in his youth.Copy !req
81. Perhaps he felt that Julius, who had been
an old man as long as he could remember...Copy !req
82. was a fearsome character...Copy !req
83. He feared that the old man would never die,
and would sit forever upon the throne.Copy !req
84. Perhaps it was because of that oppressive
thought that he decided to depose the Kaiser.Copy !req
85. April 6th, of the 144th year
of the Imperial Calendar.Copy !req
86. The ninety-six year old Kaiser Julius I was
taking dinner with five favored concubines.Copy !req
87. The death of the Kaiser
shook his ministers...Copy !req
88. but at the same time, lifted
a great weight from them.Copy !req
89. To tell the truth, every one of them was
getting tired of this almost immortal man.Copy !req
90. Archduke Karl held a ceremony which
was grand, but bereft of sorrow...Copy !req
91. and everyone felt he would take the
throne once the mourning period was over.Copy !req
92. However, the one who was crowned at
the coronation wasn't Archduke Karl...Copy !req
93. but Archduke
Franz-Otto's stepson.Copy !req
94. He was Karl's cousin. The Marquis Siegsmund
von Braun was a surprise to many people.Copy !req
95. The following events
were not publicized...Copy !req
96. and were sealed away as state secrets for
three hundred years. Here is what occurred.Copy !req
97. When Julius I died suddenly,
his five favorite concubines panicked...Copy !req
98. failing to satisfy the future Kaiser, and
were forced by Karl to commit suicide.Copy !req
99. Before she died, one of them wrote the truth
on the inside of the bracelet in lipstick...Copy !req
100. and asked somebody to convey the message to her brother, an officer of the imperial guard.Copy !req
101. It said Archduke Karl had put poison
on the inside of a wineglass...Copy !req
102. She was an accomplice who
had been bribed by Karl...Copy !req
103. and he wanted to silence those who knew
the truth about the murder she'd committed.Copy !req
104. This officer, who could not save his
younger sister, decided to take revenge...Copy !req
105. He presented the evidence to Siegsmund,
the second-in-line after Karl to the throne.Copy !req
106. Siegsmund, as was proper, exiled Karl, and
after some manipulations within the palace...Copy !req
107. he was successful in forcing Karl to
yield the right to ascend to the throne.Copy !req
108. Of course, he could not publicize the fact that
the Kaiser had been poisoned by his heir...Copy !req
109. so everything was
conducted in secrecy.Copy !req
110. Karl was interned in a
room inside the palace...Copy !req
111. and later sent to a mental institution, where
he was treated well, behind thick walls.Copy !req
112. He lived to 97 years of age,
more than his great-grandfather.Copy !req
113. When he died...Copy !req
114. the rule of Siegsmund II and Ottofried II
had already come and gone.Copy !req
115. Now, during the
rule of Ottoheinz I...Copy !req
116. nobody in the court remembered the
name of the old man, or that he existed...Copy !req
117. and that he was not allowed to
take the throne 70 years earlier.Copy !req
118. From the time
Karl died in 217...Copy !req
119. until the Battle of Dagon in 331, when the
conflict with the Free Planets Alliance began...Copy !req
120. and inflicted losses upon the Empire
never before seen in history...Copy !req
121. the Goldenbaum Dynasty
would have eight more Kaisers...Copy !req
122. each with their own
stories, good and bad.Copy !req
123. Simply reading this unpublished interim
report, provided by the Ministry of Education...Copy !req
124. Reinhard was given to the occasional
cold smile, and pensiveness.Copy !req
125. Even though he did not have the
interest in history that Yang Wenli had...Copy !req
126. he had to know of the past, in
order to cast his eyes to the future.Copy !req
127. Even so, not all of the
signposts were in the past.Copy !req
128. He could not follow
the footsteps of others...Copy !req
129. because his were the footsteps
that all men had to follow.Copy !req
130. Darling, a communique,
from the government.Copy !req
131. So they did reduce my pension.Copy !req
132. That's the only reason
I worked at a job I didn't want.Copy !req
133. So how are our finances?Copy !req
134. Will this be
enough for us?Copy !req
135. We'll make do, somehow.Copy !req
136. But squeezing our finances is not
as suffocating as how they treat us.Copy !req
137. I wish they'd
leave me alone.Copy !req
138. I'd really like to ask them
what's so much fun...Copy !req
139. about torturing a harmless,
peace-loving man like me.Copy !req
140. Geez.Copy !req
141. What is it?Copy !req
142. No, nothing.Copy !req
143. In any case, thinking up weird tricks to
play on the Imperial Fleet isn't treason.Copy !req
144. So...Copy !req
145. Huh?Copy !req
146. Feel free to laze around
as much as you want.Copy !req
147. Sure.Copy !req
148. Admiral Yang's life is quite uneventful.Copy !req
149. I don't see any evidence that he
plans to rise up against the Reich.Copy !req
150. He has a beautiful new bride, and
doesn't have to lift a finger for dinner.Copy !req
151. Something to
be envious of.Copy !req
152. So one could call it
an ideal life, right?Copy !req
153. Yes.Copy !req
154. Where the hell
are you looking?Copy !req
155. Don't be deceived by
Yang Wenli's appearance!Copy !req
156. It's a farce!Copy !req
157. There's no way a man like him, who
inflicted defeat after defeat on our fleet...Copy !req
158. could stand such a retirement until he dies,
with no accomplishment to show for it!Copy !req
159. For sure, in his heart, he's plotting
some long-term treachery...Copy !req
160. to overthrow the
rule of the Reich!Copy !req
161. It's for the sake of appearances
that he's living this normal life!Copy !req
162. Go and look a little more
carefully into your assignment!Copy !req
163. Yes, sir!Copy !req
164. What he described is impossible.Copy !req
165. To you, Admiral, this must
seem unreasonable and irritating.Copy !req
166. However, these are
orders from above.Copy !req
167. I have to obey them.Copy !req
168. Please accept my apologies.Copy !req
169. Oh, please don't
worry about it, Captain.Copy !req
170. Everybody has to display a certain
loyalty towards their paycheck.Copy !req
171. I was the same way.Copy !req
172. It isn't just a piece of paper,
it's a chain that binds people.Copy !req
173. Then I shall
take my leave.Copy !req
174. Well, it's no use blaming someone
who's trying to do their job.Copy !req
175. Even in the
Alliance forces...Copy !req
176. commands from above are absolute,
even if they're unreasonable...Copy !req
177. let alone in
the Imperial Fleet.Copy !req
178. Plus, Lennenkanpt seems to
be a stickler for discipline.Copy !req
179. He wouldn't stand for people breaking
the rules, even if they were right.Copy !req
180. And if it meant keeping to the rules, he
probably wouldn't care if bad things happened.Copy !req
181. So are you saying that
you don't like Lennenkanpt?Copy !req
182. Huh?Copy !req
183. No. It's not that I don't like
him, just that he bugs me.Copy !req
184. Anyway, if he steps over the
line in meddling with our lives...Copy !req
185. I'll have to use extraordinary
measures to deal with that guy.Copy !req
186. While it'd be nice if Mr. Lennenkanpt left,
the problem is what happens afterwards.Copy !req
187. If his successor is somebody
irresponsible and greedy...Copy !req
188. and a man who would
try to pull something...Copy !req
189. just because he's out of
sight of the Kaiser...Copy !req
190. that would be
something I could use.Copy !req
191. If Kaiser Reinhard himself became corrupt,
that's the kind of man he'd use, right?Copy !req
192. Yes, you've grasped the
essence of the situation.Copy !req
193. That's correct.Copy !req
194. For us, not only should we welcome
his corruption, we should nurture it.Copy !req
195. What a miserable topic.Copy !req
196. Whether it's in the government or the
military, I know very well where evil rules.Copy !req
197. And now, I'm tangled
up with them.Copy !req
198. On another note, Darling...Copy !req
199. Well...Copy !req
200. We've been married
for a month now...Copy !req
201. but I'm not confident
that I've been a good wife...Copy !req
202. Are you dissatisfied
with my cooking?Copy !req
203. No, of course I'm not!Copy !req
204. I especially like that thing...Copy !req
205. Hmm, what's it called...?
Anyway, it was delicious.Copy !req
206. I've never been
good at cooking.Copy !req
207. That's not true.
Really!Copy !req
208. Oh, yes. When we were
trying to leave El Facil...Copy !req
209. that sandwich you made
me was really good.Copy !req
210. Sandwiches are the only
things I'm good at making!Copy !req
211. Well, that's not all.Copy !req
212. I can make crepes,
and hamburgers...Copy !req
213. They're all layered
or stuffed, aren't they?Copy !req
214. Oh, you're right.Copy !req
215. I only know how to make
simple stuff like that.Copy !req
216. It's almost as if I don't
know how to cook at all.Copy !req
217. Ummm... well...Copy !req
218. We've got lots of time.Copy !req
219. Plenty of time to learn.
Okay?Copy !req
220. Yes, you're right.Copy !req
221. Yes, I am.Copy !req
222. They work so hard,
day after day.Copy !req
223. But thanks to them, we don't
have to worry about thieves.Copy !req
224. Public money's being spent
to guard our house...Copy !req
225. isn't that something
to be happy about?Copy !req
226. Oh, yes!Copy !req
227. We should invite
them in for tea.Copy !req
228. Huh?Copy !req
229. Do as you please.Copy !req
230. Charlotte!Copy !req
231. Coming!Copy !req
232. Go to the soldiers...Copy !req
233. and invite the most
conceited one in.Copy !req
234. Okay!Copy !req
235. What may I do for you?Copy !req
236. Not me, my wife.Copy !req
237. Er... yes?Copy !req
238. What is it?Copy !req
239. Nothing...Copy !req
240. You're always working so hard, so I
just thought you would like some coffee.Copy !req
241. Oh...Copy !req
242. Thank you,
but we're on duty.Copy !req
243. Oh, my!
You can't?Copy !req
244. My apologies, but we may not accept
these things while we're on duty.Copy !req
245. If there's nothing else,
I'll be going.Copy !req
246. Bye!Copy !req
247. I wonder if we
can use that...Copy !req
248. Darling, here you go.Copy !req
249. "Here you go," you say?
You want me to drink all this?Copy !req
250. But we wouldn't
want to waste it.Copy !req
251. It looks like I won't
be getting any sleep.Copy !req
252. Do not let up
on your surveillance.Copy !req
253. That man will definitely
pull something.Copy !req
254. Everything that could harm
the Reich or the Kaiser...Copy !req
255. must be weeded out
before they turn into reality.Copy !req
256. Your reply, soldier?Copy !req
257. Sir!Copy !req
258. I will obey your orders, and increase
surveillance on Admiral Yang, sir!Copy !req
259. Captain, I'd like to ask you...Copy !req
260. Do we need to be obeyed?Copy !req
261. Or do we need
to be welcomed?Copy !req
262. Obeyed, of course, sir!Copy !req
263. Correct.Copy !req
264. We're not only the victors,
we are their rulers.Copy !req
265. We have a responsibility
to build a new order.Copy !req
266. In the short term, it doesn't
matter if they treat us coldly...Copy !req
267. but in order to carry out our responsibility,
we must have unwavering will and belief.Copy !req
268. Hi, Uncle Yang.Copy !req
269. Hi, big sister Frederica.Copy !req
270. Uh... hi.Copy !req
271. Welcome!Copy !req
272. This is from Mommy.Copy !req
273. What is it?Copy !req
274. Raspberry pie.
She said to eat it soon.Copy !req
275. Thank you!
Come in!Copy !req
276. Okay!Copy !req
277. What is it, Darling?Copy !req
278. How come you're a "big sister,"
and I'm an "uncle?"Copy !req
279. Would you be happier if she
called me an "old lady?"Copy !req
280. Come on!Copy !req
281. Eh?Copy !req
282. Darling, come here.Copy !req
283. What is it?Copy !req
284. Not bad, that he could think up
this method of communication.Copy !req
285. Our phones are tapped,
and our letters are screened.Copy !req
286. Perhaps this is the only way.Copy !req
287. This isn't a method we
can use all that often.Copy !req
288. And detailed discussions
should be face-to-face.Copy !req
289. True.Copy !req
290. If only we could find
an excuse to go visit...Copy !req
291. About that.
I have an idea.Copy !req
292. Huh?Copy !req
293. Hey, Mrs. Yang is
coming to visit.Copy !req
294. Oh, by herself?Copy !req
295. Nope.
She brought her hubby.Copy !req
296. But, you know...Copy !req
297. I don't know whether commanding officers
and their subordinates make good couples.Copy !req
298. There could be trouble.Copy !req
299. Shouldn't be.Copy !req
300. The stage of the "small normal
family" is too small for those two.Copy !req
301. They'll soon take off to a place
where they really belong.Copy !req
302. Hey, now...Copy !req
303. I didn't plan on marrying
a fortune-teller, okay?Copy !req
304. Eh? I wasn't
making a prediction.Copy !req
305. I know it'll happen.Copy !req
306. Oh, geez.Copy !req
307. What is the purpose
of your visit?Copy !req
308. I'm here to learn how to cook,
from the lady of the house.Copy !req
309. Cooking?Copy !req
310. That's right.Copy !req
311. When do you plan
on returning home?Copy !req
312. Oh, about nine o'clock.Copy !req
313. Yo!Copy !req
314. Here, give this to your mom.
It's Babarois.Copy !req
315. You sure don't
come around very often.Copy !req
316. What is it, Mrs. Cazellnu's
beloved husband?Copy !req
317. Come visit occasionally.
And bring cognac.Copy !req
318. Why do you keep bringing
over the wimpy girly stuff?Copy !req
319. 'Cause if I wanted to call in a favor, I should
be kissing up to the real master of the house.Copy !req
320. The one making us dinner
is your wife, right?Copy !req
321. Cheap guy.Copy !req
322. I was the one who
paid for the groceries.Copy !req
323. No matter how you look at it,
the one with the real power...Copy !req
324. is your wife, for sure.Copy !req
325. Please set the table.Copy !req
326. Yes, put that one in front.Copy !req
327. She's treating
her like a child.Copy !req
328. Yes, that's right.
Thanks!Copy !req
329. I'd like to learn
a lot about cooking.Copy !req
330. First, some meat dishes,
then some fish dishes.Copy !req
331. Then, egg dishes...Copy !req
332. If you don't mind,
I'd love to learn from you.Copy !req
333. You're trying hard, Frederica.Copy !req
334. But it's better not to do this so systematically.
Don't try to learn cooking by categories.Copy !req
335. Besides, getting control over your
husband is more important than cooking.Copy !req
336. If you're too easy
on him, he'll run amok.Copy !req
337. Frederica's doing really well.Copy !req
338. Yes, I think so, too.Copy !req
339. But if Julian doesn't
get back here soon...Copy !req
340. all he'll find are the bodies of a
young couple who died of malnutrition.Copy !req
341. What a thing to say!Copy !req
342. I was kidding!Copy !req
343. Jokes should
be appropriate.Copy !req
344. You've got no
intuition for this...Copy !req
345. so you step over the line
sometimes with your jokes.Copy !req
346. Do it too much, and you could
rub people the wrong way.Copy !req
347. Daddy didn't lose there.Copy !req
348. Learning to retreat and letting one's wife win
is the secret to maintaining familial harmony.Copy !req
349. One day, you girls
will understand.Copy !req
350. Yang will, too.Copy !req
351. But maybe he has no time for that,
and has to return to where he belongs...Copy !req
352. Hmm...Copy !req
353. Actually...Copy !req
354. as a man who's only looking
to bring down this new order...Copy !req
355. perhaps I will be one of the
great sinners of history.Copy !req
356. But no matter how many good
governors Kaiser Reinhard may have...Copy !req
357. he can't hand over all of the
government to those governors.Copy !req
358. So my plan is
just about set.Copy !req
359. So all we're doing
now is waiting?Copy !req
360. Your timing's still a little
off, Lieutenant Commander.Copy !req
361. The reason we want something
is because the body needs it.Copy !req
362. So the best thing for the body is
just to eat and drink as it pleases.Copy !req
363. Yang Wenli began a quiet,
married life.Copy !req
364. But an event that would shatter that
quiet life was just about to take place...Copy !req
