Synopsis

Leopold Schumacher is caught by the Imperial military police. Schumacher reveals that the last of the Terraists have landed on Fezzan. Julian Mintz and Reinhard von Lohengramm exchange stories and political viewpoints on their trip to Fezzan. Annerose von Grünewald and Hildegard von Lohengramm tend to him as he lays bedridden. Paul von Oberstein releases a rumour that the Kaiser plans to destroy Terra to lure out the remaining Terraists. Julian and friends notice the Terraists at the provisional Imperial residence and kill the last of the Terraists. Oberstein had used himself as bait and died in place of the Kaiser, although it is unknown whether it was done on purpose or was simply a miscalculation on his part. Reinhard is surrounded by all his top-ranking admirals, family members, and ministers as he prepares to die. Reinhard wants to leave his son with a friend equal to Siegfried Kircheis and chooses Mittermeyer's adopted son. Julian's staff members go their separate ways. On 26 July 801 UC (3 NIC / 492 IC / 3601 CE), Reinhard dies, after leaving the New Galactic Empire and the decision to institute constitutional reforms in his wife and regent's hands. At the Mittermeyer estate, young Felix utters his first word and reaches for the stars, echoing Reinhard's ambition.

  • "Vater", the first word which Felix uttered, is German for "father", but as a form of address it is closer to the more respectful form of address "otō-sama" or at least "otō-san" in Japanese.
