[Ramza, Delita, Algus & Alma in the room. Ramza next to Dycedarg lying in the bed.]

 I heard you destroyed the enemies' hideout... Good job.
	Leave the rest to Zalbag and relax for a while...

[Ramza is silent. Dycedarg opens eyes and looks at him.]

 No need to worry.... It's not that bad of a wound.

 Teta.... What about Teta....?

[Alma walks a little closer to the bed. Dycedarg closes eyes again.]

 As soon as we find their base, Zalbag will attack in force.

[Delita steps a little closer to the bed, but says nothing.]

 W, What...!?

 Death Corps is falling apart. Deserters are down to a few.
	Wiegraf will be caught... It's just a matter of time.

 Teta.... Are you deserting Teta?

 [looks at Ramza]
	Don't worry. Everything's all planned.
	We won't attack until Teta's returned. For certain.
	I'd never abandon Teta. She's like a sister to me.

[Dycedarg closes eyes.]



11.1 Outside of Beoulve Castle - Algus versus Delita


[Ramza & Delita in front of the castle.]

 Wait, Delita. Where are you going? Just calm down!

[Delita turns toward Ramza with anger.]

 Calm down? Are you kidding? I can't calm down!

[Delita begins to walk away. Ramza follows and they stops.]

 You don't know where she is! Don't waste your time!

[Delita grasps Ramza's clothes collar.]

 Waste my time!? She is my only sister!!

 Remember, Dycedarg said... He'd never abandon Teta...
	So.... don't ..... Ugh... I... can't breathe.

[Delita releases Ramza's collar. Ramza falls on the knees and breathes heavily.]

 I'm sorry, Ramza. Are you all right....?

 Y... yeah....
	...cough... cough...

[Algus came out of the castle.]

 Never believe in "never".

 You mean my brother's lying?

[Algus stops in front of Delita.]

 If I were him, I'd never save a common girl.

 What did you say.....?

 I said I won't send troops to save you, commoners!!

[Delita steps closer to Algus.]

 How dare you!!

[Delita punches Algus into face. He flies backward and falls.
Ramza jumps up and holds Delita from behind.]

 Stop it! Delita!

 Let go of me! Damn you! Let go!!

 Heh! Commoners are all alike. You'll never be nobles!
	Delita, you don't belong here! Understand, rascal!? 

 Damn you!!

 Enough! Delita! And you, too, Algus!!

[Algus stands up.]

 Ramza, don't you see? He's not one of us.
	You see, Ramza, we nobles can't live with them.

 Lies! He's my good friend. We're like brothers!

 That's exactly the point. Don't act like friends. You are the
	son of a distinguished family. You cannot be with him.
	I'm sure your brothers would agree with me!

[Delita pushes Ramza and he falls.]

 [to Algus]
	Not all nobles are like you! I trust Ramza!

[Ramza stands up. Delita turns around, looks at Ramza
and walks away. Ramza walks over to Algus.]

 Get lost! I never want to see you again!!

 Don't say that. We're friends, aren't we?

[Ramza steps closer.]

 I won't say it again! Get lost!!

[Algus shrugs, makes few steps, stops and turns toward Ramza.]

 Their base is at Fort Zeakden. I heard it from your brother.
	There are several cordons, so you can't attack them from
	the front, of course. The only way is to attack from the rear.
	Well... do your best, you spoiled--rotten boy.

 Get out!!

[Algus shrugs and walks away.]

Lenalia Plateau, Fovoham Plains, Fort Zeakden.]
