Synopsis

Terraists attack multiple key infrastructure sites on Fezzan. Communications with Ulrich Kesler, the Imperial Capital Defence Commander, is lost due to the attacks and is not restored until late in the afternoon, upon which Kesler immediately deduces the attacks were mere diversions. However, he is too late to prevent the Terraists from setting Holly House, the provisional Imperial residence, on fire. Marika von Feuerbach, a maid to Hildegard von Lohengramm leads Kesler and his military police to Hildegard and Annerose von Grünewald before they can be assassinated. Hildegard goes into labour and is rushed to the Fezzan Medical University Hospital where she gives birth to the new prince of the Lohengramm dynasty. Kesler extracts the location of the Terraist headquarters from captured Terraists through brutal interrogation sessions and succeeds in cleaning out Terraist influence on Fezzan entirely. Reinhard von Lohengramm names his new son Alexander Siegfried von Lohengramm.
