CHANCELLOR GELWAN

Below are transcripts of the scene in which Delita frames and murders Chancellor Gelwan, claiming that he conspired with Ruvelia to abduct Ovelia.

ORIGINAL PLAYSTATION TRANSLATION

[In Zeltennia Castle, Delita approaches Duke Goltana, kneeling. Four noblemen surround them.]

GOLTANA: It's you... who saved Ovelia.

DELITA: Delita--Black Sheep knight under Baron Grims, and Hyral. I was sent by order of Baron Grims to save the Princess. I've returned--Mission completed.

MINISTER GELWAN: ...Hyral? Never heard of him.

GOLTANA: The Baron died in battle last month with the Ryomoku. The Black Sheep were entirely wiped out.

DELITA: That's why I returned.

GOLTANA: How's the Princess?

[One of the men of court, a man in bishop's robes, turns to Goltana.]

KANBABRIF: Sleeping soundly, she's exhausted from the long trip.

ORLANDU: I heard you brought a prisoner?

[Delita turns to look behind him as Kanabrif turns to look at Delita.]

DELITA: Yes, sir. Bring him!

[A knight leads a squire with bound hands towards Goltana. He kneels.]

DELITA: Why did you kidnap the Princess?

PRISONER: We framed Goltana to prevent him from Lesalia,...taking the regency.

DELITA: Who gave you the order? Prince Larg?

PRISONER: One of Goltana's aids who wants to join Larg.

[Minister Gelwan runs forward.]

GELWAN: Ridiculous! No aids would do that! Silence this lout!

GOLTANA: No need. Listen.

DELITA: Who is that?

[The prisoner lowers his head.]

PRISONER: ......

DELITA: Talk! Now!

PRISONER: Will you save my life?

DELITA: All right, I promise. Who is it!!?

[He looks up.]

PRISONER: Him... Minister Gelwan.

[Gelwan draws nearer.]

GELWAN: How dare you! It's a lie! I don't even know you!

[He turns as Delita speaks.]

DELITA: Who seduced you? The Queen?

GELWAN: That's absurd! I don't know anything!

DELITA: Treason's a serious crime, Minister!

[Delita draws his sword. The men of court and the prisoner back away. Orlandu puts his hand on his weapon.]

GELWAN: I said I don't know a thing!

[Delita lunges at Gelwan, cutting him down.]

DELITA: Let me say this! We must go to the capital with the Nanten now! Or they may hold you responsible for this plot. First, let's remove Orinas and the Queen, then get the Princess on the throne!

[The scene fades out to an image of men at war.]

WAR OF THE LIONS TRANSLATION

[In Zeltennia Castle, Delita approaches Duke Goltana, kneeling. Four noblemen surround them.]

DUKE GOLTANNA: My advisors tell me you are the one who rescued Princess Ovelia. I would have you tell me more.

DELITA: I am Delita Heiral, a Blackram lieutenant in the service of His Excellency the Baron Grimms. His Excellency dispatched me to rescue the princess. And so I did, disguised as one of your own--a sheep in Lion's clothing. Now I have returned.

CHANCELLOR GLEVANNE: Heiral, you say? That is a name I've not heard before.

GOLTANNA: I thought Baron Grimms and his Blackrams felled in battle against the Eye of a fortnight past.

DELITA: Indeed. That dark news spurred me to return with all the greater haste.

GOLTANNA: ...

[One of the men of court, a man in bishop's robes, turns to Goltana.]

BISHOP CANNE-BEURICH: She is weary yet from her long journey. She sleeps as if among the dead.

COUNT CIDOLFUS ORLANDEAU: Is it not true you brought a prisoner?

[Delita turns to look behind him as Canne-Beurich turns to look at Delita.]

DELITA: It is. Bring the prisoner forth!

[A knight leads a squire with bound hands towards Goltana. He kneels.]

DELITA: Let us hear the reason for you attempt on the princess.

PRISONER: 'Twas to stain Duke Goltanna's name, and keep him from Lesalia. We thought to deny him the regent's seat.

DELITA: Who gave you the order? Duke Larg?

PRISONER: No...a close adviser of Duke Goltanna's seeking to curry Duke Larg's favor.

[Chancellor Glevanne runs forward.]

GLEVANNE: Madness! None among us would fain betray our duke! Silence this man, he knows not of what he speaks!

GOLTANNA: I would hear it nonetheless.

DELITA: Who is that?

[The prisoner lowers his head.]

PRISONER: ......

DELITA: Name the one who gave the order!

PRISONER: I'd have our protection?

DELITA: On my honor as a knight. Speak!

[He looks up.]

PRISONER: 'Twas the man who stands before me. Chancellor Glevanne.

[Glevanne draws nearer.]

GLEVANNE: What!? How dare you! I do not even know you, knave!

[He turns as Delita speaks.]

DELITA: Who put you to it? The queen?

GLEVANNE: Stop this mummer's farce, I've naught to do with this!

DELITA: To betray your liege lord is an unpardonable crime, Chancellor.

[Delita draws his sword. The men of court and the prisoner back away. Orlandeau puts his hand on his weapon.]

GLEVANNE: It was not I! I know naught of it!

[Delita lunges at Glevanne, cutting him down.]

DELITA: orgive me if I presume overmuch, Your Grace, but now is not the time for bandied words. The Order of the Southern Sky must march on Lesalia at once, and you with it! Give your enemies but a moment to collect themselves, and they will pin the chancellor's sedition on his lord. Your Grace must strike before they are given the chance! Deny the prince's claim, and set the princess on the throne!

[The scene fades out to an image of men at war.]

SUGNUF'S TRANSLATION

from TBaatar's transcript.

PRINCE GOLTANA: So, you are the one who saved Ovelia. Your name?

DELITA: I am Delita Hyral of the Knights of the Black Ram, an adjutant of Baron Grimms. By order of the Baron, I was dispatched in secret to save Princess Ovelia. I've returned, my mission complete.

MINISTER GELWANN: [to self] Hyral? Never heard of him...

GOLTANA: The Baron died in battle last month in battle against the Lucient Eye rebels. The Knights of the Black Ram were annihilated.

DELITA: That is why I've returned in such haste.

GOLTANA: How is the Princess?

BISHOP KANBAVERIV: Her Highness is exhausted from the journey here. She sleeps.

ORLANDU: I hear you've brought a prisoner?

DELITA: Yes, my lord. [Delita stands] Bring him forth!

[a knight brings the prisoner inside the room]

DELITA: [to the prisoner] Why did you kidnap the Princess?

PRISONER: ... We had hoped to frame Prince Goltana for the act to prevent him from going to Lesalia and taking the regency.

DELITA: Who issued the order? Prince Larg?

PRISONER: ... A noble of Goltana's camp, who would join Larg's camp instead.

[Gelwan steps forward, furious.]

GELWANN: Ridiculous! No servant of my liege would do such a thing! Silence this lout!

GOLTANA: No need. Listen.

DELITA: Who was it?

PRISONER: ...

DELITA: Talk!

PRISONER: Will you spare my life?

DELITA: I promise you. Now talk! Who was it?

PRISONER: [pausing] Him... Minister Gelwan.

GELWANN: Liar! I know you not!!

DELITA: [to Gelwan] Who bribed you? The Queen?

[GELWANN turns nervously in Delita's direction]

GELWANN: Absurd! I have naught to do with this!

DELITA: Treachery is a grave crime, my lord minister ...

[Delita draws his sword. The room is tense. The knight and prisoner move back. Orlandu has a hand on the hilt of his sword. Bishop Kanbaveriv steps away from Gelwann.]

GELWANN: I know nothing!

[Gelwann attempts to run, but Delita cuts him down. He sheaths his sword and kneels again before Goltana. Orlandu relaxes.]

DELITA: Forgive my audacity my lord, but hear me! We must set forth with the Knights Austeron! Your enemies in the capital will hold you responsible for this plot! Before that happens, we must seize the capital with Austeron swords, depose the Queen and Prince Orinas, and bring her Majesty Ovelia to the throne!

[Delita draws his sword. The men of court and the prisoner back away. Orlandu puts his hand on his weapon.]

GELWAN: I said I don't know a thing!

SECOND READ

from the Second Read mod.

[In Zeltennia Castle, Delita approaches Duke Goltanna, kneeling. Four noblemen surround them.]

GOLTANNA: You are the one who save Ovelia? What is your name?

DELITA: Delita Hyral, Your Highness. First Lieutenant of Baron Grimms' Black Ram Knights. I was personally dispatched by the Baron in secret to rescue Lady Ovelia.

MINISTER GELWAN: That's impossible, my lord. I've never heard of this man, and the Black Rams...

GOLTANNA: Baron Grimms and the rest of the Black Ram Knights were killed in battle. The Ebon Eye Order has killed your entire detachment, I regret to inform you.

DELITA: I'd heard the rumours, and I'd hoped they were false. I'll pay my respects when I have free time.

GOLTANNA: How is the Princess holding up?

[One of the men of court, a man in bishop's robes, turns to Goltanna.]

ARCHBISHOP KANBABRIF: Apart from being dishearteningly thin, she's in good heatlh.

ORLAND: And you've brought a prisoner as well, I hear?

[Delita turns to look behind him as Kanbabrif turns to look at Delita.]

DELITA: I have, my lord. Bring him in!

[A knight leads a squire with bound hands towards Goltanna. He kneels.]

DELITA: Care to explain why you attempted to abduct the Princess?

PRISONER: To frame Goltanna, to keep him from taking the regency in Lesalia.

DELITA: Who gave you that order? Duke Larg?

PRISONER: No, it was someone in Goltanna's court. Someone currying favours from Larg.

[Minister Gelwan runs forward.]

GELWAN: This is ridiculous. None of us would betray our lord like that! Hang him!

GOLTANNA: Please continue, who was it?

DELITA: Well?

[The prisoner lowers his head.]

PRISONER: If I... If I----

DELITA: Out with it!

PRISONER: If I confess, do I have your protection?

DELITA: By all means we'll protect you, just tell us!!

[He looks up.]

PRISONER: The one who stands before me. Chancellor Gelwan.

[Gelwan draws nearer.]

GELWAN: How dare you! TI've been nothing but loyal to Goltanna for well over twenty years!

[He turns as Delita speaks.]

DELITA: What did they offer you? The queen's bed?

GELWAN: I'd never turn against Lord Goltanna! He's lying!

DELITA: You're lying through your teeth, Gelwan. I hear that shudder in your voice! And the punishment for treason against your lord is execution!

[Delita draws his sword. The men of court and the prisoner back away. Orland puts his hand on his weapon.]

GELWAN: No!! I swear! I swear!

[Delita lunges at Gelwan, cutting him down.]

DELITA: My apologies for tarnishing your halls, my lrod. I'll see to his disposal personally. But now is not the time to dwell on Chancellor Gelwan's treason. Now is the time to take action. The Order of the Southern Sky must march on Lesalia now. Queen Luveria must be removed at all costs. Force is our only means to tear her from the throne and see Ovelia where she belongs.

ORIGINAL JAPANESE

from G's Cemetery.

獅子戦争勃発: ゴルターナ公の居城ゼルテニアに、オヴェリアを連れたディリータが姿を現した。公の重臣のひとりを王女誘拐の首謀者に仕立て上げたディリータは、さらに南天騎士団を率いての王都ルザリア上洛を進言する。対するラーグ公も北天騎士団を動員。ここに畏国を二分する大乱“獅子戦争”が始まった…。

ゴルターナ公: 貴公か…、オヴェリア王女を救出したというのは…。

騎士ディリータ: グリムス男爵配下の黒羊騎士団、副官ハイラル。名をディリータ。グリムス男爵の密命により王女を救出するために身分を偽り出兵。任務を果たし、帰還いたしました。

グルワンヌ大臣: …ハイラルだと？　聞かぬ名だ。

ゴルターナ公: 男爵は先月、亮目団との戦いで戦死し黒羊騎士団も全滅したはず。

騎士ディリータ: それ故、急ぎ帰還いたしました。

ゴルターナ公: 王女は？

司教カンバベリフ: 長旅の疲れのためか、死んだように眠っておいでです。

オルランドゥ伯: …捕虜を連れてきたと聞いたが？

騎士ディリータ: ハッ。捕虜を連れてこい！

（縛られた捕虜（見習い戦士）が連れられてくる）

騎士ディリータ: 何故、王女を誘拐した？

捕虜: ゴルターナ公に嫌疑をかけることで王都ルザリアへの上洛を妨げ、摂政の位を与えぬためだ…。

騎士ディリータ: 誰がおまえに命じた？　ラーグ公か？

捕虜: …ラーグ公に取り入ろうとするゴルターナ公の側近の一人だ。

グルワンヌ大臣: バカな！　そのような不忠者がおるはずもない！ええい、その痴れ者の口を閉じさせよ！

ゴルターナ公: かまわぬ、聞け。

騎士ディリータ: …それは誰だ？

捕虜: …………。

騎士ディリータ: 言えッ、言うんだッ！

捕虜: オレの命は助けてくれるんだろうな？

騎士ディリータ: 約束しよう。言えッ、誰だッ！！

捕虜: …そこにいるグルワンヌ大臣だ。

グルワンヌ大臣: なんだと！　ウソを申すな！　わしはおまえなど知らぬ！！

騎士ディリータ: 誰にそそのかされた？　王妃か？

グルワンヌ大臣: ばかなッ、わしには関係ないッ！

騎士ディリータ: 主君を裏切った罪は重いぞ、大臣殿！

（ディリータが剣を抜く。その場が緊張する）

グルワンヌ大臣: 知らぬッ！　わしは知らぬッ！！

（ディリータがグルワンヌ大臣を斬り捨て、ゴルターナ公の前に膝をつく）

騎士ディリータ: 僭越ながら申し上げます！今すぐ南天騎士団を率いて上洛されるべし！さもなくば、大臣の謀り事の責任を公爵閣下にとらせようと言い出す輩が出て参りましょう。その前に、速やかにオリナス王子と王妃を排斥し、オヴェリア様を御位に！！
