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