6. On September 7th of Space Calendar 800,
New Imperial Calendar 2...Copy !req
7. Imperial Force Provisional HeadquartersCopy !req
8. the Superintendent of Staff Officers, Hildegard von Mariendorf, returned to her duties.Copy !req
9. I apologize for troubling
you over a personal matter.Copy !req
10. From now on...Copy !req
11. I will make sure that something like this
doesn't happen again, so I beg your pardon.Copy !req
12. Hilda did not answer
Reinhard's proposal.Copy !req
13. That is because she herself
had not made up her mind.Copy !req
14. With that, Reinhard had
no idea what to do.Copy !req
15. He handled himself well as long
as he was swamped with work...Copy !req
16. but when he wasn't, since he never
really had any hobbies to speak of...Copy !req
17. there wasn't much he
could do to divert his mind.Copy !req
18. As a result, he killed time by playing
games of three-dimensional chess...Copy !req
19. or by riding horses with
Emil or Lucke more frequently.Copy !req
20. Though it's not worrisome that he
has time on his hands these days...Copy !req
21. I'm concerned about
His Majesty's frequent fevers.Copy !req
22. I hope it's not a precursor
of some serious illness.Copy !req
23. HasselbackCopy !req
24. Grand ChamberlainCopy !req
25. BernheimCopy !req
26. Chief of Imperial
Household AffairsCopy !req
27. I wonder if the Westerland incident
weighs that heavily on his mind.Copy !req
28. After a while, Reinhard appeared to
become bored with those activities...Copy !req
29. and began going out more frequently
after completing his administrative duties.Copy !req
30. Though he'd shown little
interest in them previously...Copy !req
31. he began appreciating theater,
music, and painting.Copy !req
32. High Admiral Fritz Josef BittenfeldCopy !req
33. Still, His Majesty is being rather cruel,
taking Bittenfeld along to a classical ballet.Copy !req
34. High Admiral Cornelius LutzCopy !req
35. What?Copy !req
36. What happened?Copy !req
37. Um, well...Copy !req
38. His Majesty has ordered me
to attend a poetry reading.Copy !req
39. What a disaster...Copy !req
40. High Admiral August Samuel WahlenCopy !req
41. Usually, Mecklinger is the one
who would take all those duties.Copy !req
42. I wonder if I could swap assignments
with Mecklinger before I get called upon.Copy !req
43. Mecklinger once said...Copy !req
44. "Since the Kaiser is himself
a splendid piece of art..."Copy !req
45. "... he does not need to be interested
in any of the disingenuous arts."Copy !req
46. I agree with that.Copy !req
47. To begin with, a ruler should
only provide money for the arts.Copy !req
48. There's no need to
stick his nose into them.Copy !req
49. Doing that will only
produce phony artists...Copy !req
50. who pander to the ruler's tastes
and pretend to be great masters.Copy !req
51. High Admiral Neithardt MullerCopy !req
52. Being as sophisticated as
you are, Fleet Admiral...Copy !req
53. won't you please accompany
the Kaiser in place of me?Copy !req
54. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to
go along with His Majesty...Copy !req
55. to listen to something called "avant-garde
music," that I can in no way comprehend.Copy !req
56. Um, well, no...Copy !req
57. I have to work on
those two new fortresses...Copy !req
58. and I'm swamped with my
duties for the Space Fleet.Copy !req
59. Oh yeah, Bayerlein.Copy !req
60. Yes?Copy !req
61. Next time, you ask His Majesty
if you can accompany him.Copy !req
62. Admiral Karl Edward BayerleinCopy !req
63. Who, me?Copy !req
64. From now on, military officers should
also have broad intellectual horizons.Copy !req
65. While they may not be as
accomplished as Mecklinger...Copy !req
66. there are some like Grillpaltzer
among your colleagues...Copy !req
67. who've had achievements in
areas other than military affairs.Copy !req
68. You should follow their example.Copy !req
69. Oh, okay...Copy !req
70. A war or an insurrection
would be better than this.Copy !req
71. Of course, this was not
meant to be a prediction.Copy !req
72. But Muller would later recall
this statement with dejection.Copy !req
73. Adrian RubinskyCopy !req
74. Former Phezzan Autonomous LeaderCopy !req
75. If we can't get the Kaiser to pay
an Imperial visit to Neue Land...Copy !req
76. it will be very difficult to make
Fleet Admiral Reuental rebel.Copy !req
77. I'm sure you understand that
point, too, Vice-Minister.Copy !req
78. We must make the bait large enough
to make him lose his reason.Copy !req
79. In other words,
a great opportunity.Copy !req
80. Heydrich LangCopy !req
81. Vice Minister of Internal Affairs,
Chief of the Internal Security DepartmentCopy !req
82. You might be right.Copy !req
83. But are you sure you want to arrange
such ideal conditions for Reuental?Copy !req
84. If, in the unlikely event, he succeeds in
carrying out this regicide, what will you do?Copy !req
85. Oh, please don't
worry about it.Copy !req
86. The assassination of the Kaiser
is merely an act, a pretense.Copy !req
87. I've meticulously planned it so
that the Kaiser will survive...Copy !req
88. and that the Kaiser will, as a
result, decide to punish Reuental.Copy !req
89. Are you sure?Copy !req
90. Should I swear
an oath to you?Copy !req
91. Well, all right.
But don't forget.Copy !req
92. Your life is
solely in my hands.Copy !req
93. Of course, Vice-Minister.Copy !req
94. By robbing the Kaiser of his loyal vassals
one after another and isolating him...Copy !req
95. and by being the administrator of this purge,
you will seize power and govern the Empire.Copy !req
96. And by helping you accomplish this,
I will be permitted to regain my position.Copy !req
97. That alone is my goal.Copy !req
98. Don't forget that
commendable attitude.Copy !req
99. If Reuental
rises in revolt...Copy !req
100. I'm sure he cannot help but to
start suspecting the other admirals.Copy !req
101. Next up, if we
entrap Mittermeyer...Copy !req
102. and dispose of him and Oberstein
by making them kill each other...Copy !req
103. the rest are just
uniform-clad dummies.Copy !req
104. What do you think
about the Mariendorfs?Copy !req
105. A little wench like
that can't do anything.Copy !req
106. And the father is an imbecile
whose only virtue is his integrity.Copy !req
107. They're not even an issue.Copy !req
108. You certainly are perspicacious.Copy !req
109. Lang's beliefs were actually something that
Rubinsky skillfully manipulated and reinforced.Copy !req
110. Lang thought of Rubinsky as a useful tool,
but Rubinsky saw Lang in the same light.Copy !req
111. If there was a difference
between the two...Copy !req
112. it was whether or not one
allowed the other to realize it.Copy !req
113. Just as you discerned...Copy !req
114. Vice-Minister Lang appears to be in contact
with the wanted criminal, Adrian Rubinsky.Copy !req
115. Ministry of Military Affairs, Chief SecretaryCopy !req
116. Rear Admiral Anton FernerCopy !req
117. Since the criminal is a
state-affairs criminal...Copy !req
118. I don't suppose we can
say it's a sting operation.Copy !req
119. Are you sure you should
leave matters as they are?Copy !req
120. Did he go home, that loyal
servant of His Majesty?Copy !req
121. Dominic San PielCopy !req
122. He has no loyalty
to the Kaiser.Copy !req
123. He's just an egotist who's trying
to seize control of the galaxy...Copy !req
124. by turning the
Kaiser into his puppet.Copy !req
125. So you're hanging out with him,
as a fellowship of egotists?Copy !req
126. As long as our interests match.Copy !req
127. Right now, both you and he
hope that there'll be a fire.Copy !req
128. But he wants to extinguish that fire at a
certain point and take the credit for it.Copy !req
129. On the other hand...Copy !req
130. you're hoping that the fire will consume
even the Empire's framework, aren't you?Copy !req
131. That's why it'll be time for me
to dispose of the old tool...Copy !req
132. when such an
opportunity presents itself.Copy !req
133. But until then, we need to make him
think that we're useful tools for him.Copy !req
134. It was at the end of August that a strange rumor started in the new Imperial capital on Phezzan.Copy !req
135. But in September, it seriously
began to spread all over the place.Copy !req
136. The Governor-General
of Neue Land...Copy !req
137. Fleet Admiral Reuental is planning
to rebel against the Kaiser.Copy !req
138. But Fleet Admiral Reuental
knows too well...Copy !req
139. that he doesn't stand a chance against
the Kaiser in terms of military power.Copy !req
140. That's why he'll ask the Kaiser to pay an Imperial visit to Planet Heinessen to observe Neue Land...Copy !req
141. and he's planning to assassinate
the Kaiser on the way.Copy !req
142. After assassinating the Kaiser,
Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
143. will re-establish the Goldenbaum
Dynasty with the missing Erwin Josef II...Copy !req
144. and will become the regent in order to
monopolize political and military power.Copy !req
145. And in the not-so-distant future, it seems
he plans to ascend the throne himself...Copy !req
146. by taking the crown
of his Majesty the Emperor.Copy !req
147. After finding that out...Copy !req
148. the Kaiser fears the possibility of being assassinated by Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
149. and that's why he has no choice but
to stay put in the Imperial Capital.Copy !req
150. I heard that Fleet
Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
151. is sending an invitation to
Planet Heinessen to the Kaiser...Copy !req
152. but there's no chance
that the Kaiser will accept it.Copy !req
153. Instead, the Kaiser will recall Fleet Admiral
Reuental to Phezzan to interrogate him.Copy !req
154. At the same time, Reuental was
informed of the strange rumors...Copy !req
155. from the contacts he
had left behind in Phezzan.Copy !req
156. On Phezzan, His Majesty has frequently
been suffering from inexplicable fevers.Copy !req
157. Moreover, taking advantage
of His Majesty's ill health...Copy !req
158. Lt. Commander Emil von ReckendorfCopy !req
159. the Chief Minister of Military
Affairs, Fleet Admiral Oberstein...Copy !req
160. and the Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs,
Lang, are going their own way with ease.Copy !req
161. It's as though the Minister of
Military Affairs is Prime Minister...Copy !req
162. and Vice-Minister Lang
is a Chief Minister.Copy !req
163. Therefore, thoughtful people are squinting
their eyes and shutting their mouths.Copy !req
164. Vice-Minister Lang is
especially denouncing...Copy !req
165. Fleet Admiral Reuental
because of a personal grudge...Copy !req
166. and is incessantly advocating for
his recall to Phezzan to purge him.Copy !req
167. Moreover, he claims that Fleet Admiral
Reuental will invite the Kaiser...Copy !req
168. to Neue Land in
order to assassinate him.Copy !req
169. What nonsense!Copy !req
170. The Kaiser will not be blinded by the
delusions of such a petty crook as Lang.Copy !req
171. In fact, just this spring, he tried to ensnare me
in his weak trap and failed spectacularly at it.Copy !req
172. Certainly, His Majesty will not
be swayed by someone like Lang.Copy !req
173. But what I worry about is
action by someone else.Copy !req
174. Lang is merely a puppet of
interlocution, I would think.Copy !req
175. If Mein Kaiser were to become a puppet
of someone like Oberstein or Lang...Copy !req
176. it would be a prime
example of bathos.Copy !req
177. How about I take possession of the Kaiser,
rather than letting Oberstein or Lang do it?Copy !req
178. When the Kaiser visits Neue Land, we'll keep
him on Heinessen and won't let him return.Copy !req
179. Then we declare that we're
moving Supreme Headquarters...Copy !req
180. and the Imperial
Household to Heinessen.Copy !req
181. Since Oberstein and the others won't be
in his company for this Imperial visit...Copy !req
182. they'll be unable
to do anything.Copy !req
183. It's an excellent opportunity for me
seize control of the entire universe.Copy !req
184. Of course, there's no way the
Kaiser would acquiesce to it.Copy !req
185. He'd surely try to escape and regain
his rightful power and position.Copy !req
186. That might actually
be intriguing.Copy !req
187. If I must fight, Lang or even Oberstein,
aren't good enough to step on stage with me.Copy !req
188. They aren't worthy enough
to fight against me.Copy !req
189. The only one who is worthy
of being my adversary is...Copy !req
190. Sir?Copy !req
191. In any case, we'll send the invitation
requesting an Imperial visit to Neue Land.Copy !req
192. But, sir, at a
time like this...Copy !req
193. It goes without saying...Copy !req
194. but I have no intention to stand on
the leeward side of Lang or Oberstein.Copy !req
195. To test the veracity of the rumor, I will send
the invitation and see how the Kaiser reacts.Copy !req
196. I see.Copy !req
197. If the Kaiser does not
move from Phezzan...Copy !req
198. it means that the Kaiser believes
the rumors and suspects you...Copy !req
199. and if the Kaiser accepts the invitation, it'll
prove that the Kaiser still trusts you, won't it?Copy !req
200. Unfortunately, that's
not necessarily the case.Copy !req
201. It might be a ploy to make me let down
my guard so that he can capture me.Copy !req
202. It's a fraudulent trick that wouldn't
suit the Kaiser's personality...Copy !req
203. but Oberstein or Lang
might plan a stunt like that.Copy !req
204. If we start suspecting people,
there'll be no end to it.Copy !req
205. If master and vassal suspect each
other and start feeling each other out...Copy !req
206. there's no hope for peace.Copy !req
207. Just like this spring...Copy !req
208. it's crucial for us to speak in person so he'll understand my true intentions.Copy !req
209. On September 9th, an official letter
from Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
210. requesting an Imperial visit by
the Kaiser to Heinessen arrived.Copy !req
211. What's the matter,
Grand Chamberlain?Copy !req
212. You seem uneasy.Copy !req
213. If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty,
are you aware of the rumors?Copy !req
214. On the next day, September 10th, at an
emergency supreme executive meeting...Copy !req
215. Reinhard spoke of
Reuental's request...Copy !req
216. and declared that he intended to accept
the invitation and visit Planet Heinessen.Copy !req
217. Your Majesty, I'm sure you're aware of the
rumors floating in and around the Court.Copy !req
218. Until the truth of the affair is verified,
I wonder if you shouldn't remain on Phezzan.Copy !req
219. Nonsense.Copy !req
220. There's no way Reuental
will assassinate me.Copy !req
221. I don't suspect him.
Nor do I fear him.Copy !req
222. Do you intend to be deceived by petty rumors
and breach the relationship between us?Copy !req
223. Besides, if Reuental
were to rise in revolt...Copy !req
224. he'd launch a military campaign in a dignified
manner, challenging us to a decisive battle.Copy !req
225. He wouldn't plan a petty
and malicious scheme...Copy !req
226. to stab the Kaiser in the
back, unlike someone else.Copy !req
227. Then at least, please take
one fleet along with you.Copy !req
228. If the emperor takes along an excessive
fleet with him when he visits a vassal...Copy !req
229. it might incite unnecessary
suspicion and fear.Copy !req
230. Besides, why should an emperor
take along a large fleet...Copy !req
231. when he travels within
his own territory?Copy !req
232. Don't give me any
more of your nonsense.Copy !req
233. High Admiral Muller.Copy !req
234. Yes, Your Majesty.Copy !req
235. I order you to be
my chief attendant.Copy !req
236. Prepare for the journey.Copy !req
237. Understood.Copy !req
238. Your Majesty.Copy !req
239. Please add me
as your attendant.Copy !req
240. Although this is
personal business...Copy !req
241. my sister's husband is assigned to the Neue
Land Government as the Chief of Civil Service.Copy !req
242. Since I have not seen her for
some time, I wish to pay her a visit.Copy !req
243. Very well.Copy !req
244. I thank you for the honor.Copy !req
245. Next on the agenda is the
construction of the new fortresses.Copy !req
246. After this, the construction of new
fortresses at both ends of the corridor...Copy !req
247. to defend the New Imperial Capital,
Phezzan, was officially decided.Copy !req
248. The fortress's name on the Neue Land
side, would be called Schatten Burg...Copy !req
249. and the other, on the former Empire's side,
would be called Drei Grosadmirals Burg.Copy !req
250. "Schatten Burg"
means "Shadow Castle..."Copy !req
251. and "Drei Grosadmirals Burg" means
"The Castle of the Three Fleet Admirals."Copy !req
252. It was named in memory of three of the six
fleet admirals in the Lohengramm Dynasty...Copy !req
253. who had previously passed away:Copy !req
254. Kircheis, Fahrenheit, and Steinmetz.Copy !req
255. The Castle of The Three Fleet Admirals,
"Drei Grosadmirals Burg," huh?Copy !req
256. It's a tongue-twisting name,
but if another admiral were to die...Copy !req
257. would it be renamed as
"Vier Grosadmirals Burg" ?Copy !req
258. About the attendants, your
strategy was wonderful, wasn't it?Copy !req
259. Well, as we say, a fortress that can't
be captured from the front gate...Copy !req
260. should be attacked
from the back gate.Copy !req
261. That's just rudimentary tactics.Copy !req
262. Besides, I've essentially been without
duties since the transfer of the capital...Copy !req
263. so I have lots of
time on my hands.Copy !req
264. I'm in the same boat.Copy !req
265. With something like this,
I wanted to accompany him...Copy !req
266. but I wonder why he
won't take me along?Copy !req
267. I'm disappointed.Copy !req
268. If there was to be a fistfight
against Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
269. his Majesty would
take you along, I'm sure.Copy !req
270. But this is to be a
peaceful journey, you know.Copy !req
271. There was no fistfight
at the opera house!Copy !req
272. But what was unexpected is that
Fraulein Mariendorf is staying behind.Copy !req
273. I hear she's ill,
so it can't be helped.Copy !req
274. She had to miss
today's meeting, too.Copy !req
275. I'm always in good
health, you know?Copy !req
276. All right, all right.Copy !req
277. You don't even
catch colds, right?Copy !req
278. I think I know what
you're worried about.Copy !req
279. This past June, Yang Wenli was assassinated
on his way to meet with the Kaiser.Copy !req
280. You're worried that that tragedy might
repeat itself this time, aren't you?Copy !req
281. It's precisely as you think.Copy !req
282. One success is bound
to beget imitations.Copy !req
283. If at all possible, I would like
the Kaiser to remain on Phezzan.Copy !req
284. But if the Imperial visit
is canceled like this...Copy !req
285. people will start to imagine
more undesirable possibilities, so...Copy !req
286. That's right.Copy !req
287. But really,
this is quite cunning.Copy !req
288. When such rumors
are spread around...Copy !req
289. considering the Kaiser's personality,
he won't stay put on Phezzan.Copy !req
290. If this whole scheme is
based on this expectation...Copy !req
291. we might be in for even more
malicious traps than we expect.Copy !req
292. Assuming that
this is a trap...Copy !req
293. would you think that this is Heydrich
Lang's doing, just like the last time?Copy !req
294. It's likely that he's
involved in some way.Copy !req
295. But while Lang may have the
ability to plan such a scheme...Copy !req
296. he doesn't have the organizational
or executive power to pull it off.Copy !req
297. There's probably
someone behind him.Copy !req
298. Admiral, do you suspect the
Chief Minister of Military Affairs?Copy !req
299. No, I don't think this is
one of Oberstein's schemes.Copy !req
300. If it were, he would accompany
His Majesty as an attendant...Copy !req
301. and provoke Reuental's rage
by using himself as a decoy.Copy !req
302. That would be more foolproof.Copy !req
303. But he might take advantage of the situation
and make some sort of unimaginable move.Copy !req
304. I should watch him closely.Copy !req
305. But there's no way the conspirators
could possess such a large force.Copy !req
306. If you take along 50 to 100 ships,
that'll be enough to serve as a deterrent...Copy !req
307. but it won't be large
enough to threaten Reuental.Copy !req
308. Certainly.Copy !req
309. The issue is His Majesty's feelings.Copy !req
310. I will make
the request myself.Copy !req
311. But with such a small number,
I think His Majesty will allow it.Copy !req
312. On top of that...Copy !req
313. I'll station the Space Fleet around the
spacezone where Schatten Burg will be...Copy !req
314. and wait there as a precaution.Copy !req
315. That's reassuring.Copy !req
316. In any case, High Admiral Muller, I'm depending on you to ensure His Majesty's safety.Copy !req
317. Cooperate with Lutz and take
His Majesty to Heinessen safely.Copy !req
318. I will do my best.Copy !req
319. But in the end, I doubt
anything will happen.Copy !req
320. I agree.Copy !req
321. Fraulein, at the end of this month,
I will depart for Neue Land.Copy !req
322. I've heard.Copy !req
323. This time, I ask you
to stay on Phezzan.Copy !req
324. Yes.Copy !req
325. So by the time
I return to Phezzan...Copy !req
326. I'd like you to decide on your
response regarding "that matter."Copy !req
327. Of course, what I mean by "that matter" is
the one where I proposed to you, Fraulein.Copy !req
328. It can be said that Reinhard was
immature to explain himself this way...Copy !req
329. but Reinhard was in earnest...Copy !req
330. and in this instance, Hilda,
too, felt as though she was spared.Copy !req
331. To begin with, he was
an autocratic ruler...Copy !req
332. and he could have done what he
wanted regardless of Hilda's feelings.Copy !req
333. It can be said that this made the scale of
Hilda's feelings tilt toward a certain direction.Copy !req
334. Your Majesty.Copy !req
335. Hm?Copy !req
336. Please take care on your journey.Copy !req
337. Since Hilda herself knew that she was losing
concentration and efficiency at that time...Copy !req
338. she felt that it couldn't be helped
that she couldn't accompany Reinhard.Copy !req
339. Also, she thought that the
rumor of Reuental's rebellion...Copy !req
340. was just a repeat
of the previous libel.Copy !req
341. But the fact that she
thought of it that way...Copy !req
342. may in fact have been a sign
of a malfunction in Hilda's intellect.Copy !req
343. On the other hand, she had complete
trust in Muller and the other attendants.Copy !req
344. Moreover, there was something
Hilda herself wanted to do.Copy !req
345. Why don't I take this opportunity and
meet with Crown Princess Grunewald?Copy !req
346. In this manner,
on September 22nd...Copy !req
347. Kaiser Reinhard departed for Heinessen
on an Imperial visit to observe Neue Land.Copy !req
348. Sieg Kaiser, Sieg Kaiser,
Sieg Kaiser, Sieg Kaiser...Copy !req
349. KlaraCopy !req
350. Lutz's fianceeCopy !req
351. The Governor-General of Neue Land,
Fleet Admiral Reuental...Copy !req
352. had to prepare to
welcome the Kaiser.Copy !req
353. Preview of Next EpisodeCopy !req
354. On the way to Heinessen, Kaiser
Reinhard and his attendants...Copy !req
355. while stopping over at Planet Uruvasi,
are attacked by an unknown party.Copy !req
356. If all of the stationed
troops have risen in revolt...Copy !req
