Synopsis
Wolfgang Mittermeyer's fleet catches up with Oskar von Reuenthal's fleet as it is heading towards Heinessen. Alfred Grillparzer betrays Reuenthal and fires on his erstwhile allies. Reuenthal's flagship Tristan is hit by cannon fire. Reuenthal is impaled in the chest by a piece of metal that had broken off from the ceiling of the damaged Tristan. Reuenthal continues to issue orders as he becomes pale from his injury. Grillparzer surrenders to August Samuel Wahlen's fleet. Ernest Mecklinger discovers the evidence of Terraist involvement in the regicide plot against Reinhard von Lohengramm in Uruvasi that was hidden by Grillparzer. Mecklinger orders the arrest of Grillparzer. Reuenthal returns to Heinessen with only 10% of his fleet remaining.

"Stay calm. I've been injured, not you. I don't think 'screaming in pain in place of his superior' is among an adjutant's duties."
