The base of Prince Goltana, ruler of
Zeltennia. Made even tighter after the war.

[Church outside the town. 2 women and a man are praying. Ramza is staying
on knees in front of the altar. Delita comes in and kneels beside Ramza.
Looks like they're praying, but in fact they're whispering.]

 A 'heretic', coming to Church... pretty bold...

 I have no time... So, I'll ask you straight out.
	Why did the High Priest send you to Goltana?

 You came to Zeltennia to ask me that?
	...Fine, I'll tell you. My duty is to
	assassinate Goltana and Orlandu...

[Ramza looks at Delita with surprise and speaks loudly.]

 What...!?

 Shh... lower your voice. [Ramza looks down and 'prays' again.]
	This is the real plan... We're trying to incite those
	dissatisfied with the government to revolt. Thereby		
	causing people to distrust the government even more.
	Both armies will try to put down the revolts,
	but won't have enough soldiers. Then what?
	They'll finish things trying to break the deadlock.

 All these recent revolts were the High Priest's plan.
	And to stop these, both armies are heading to Bethla.
	Everything is as you planned...

 Not quite yet. Because... During the battle, Larg
	and Goltana will both be killed by someone.

[Ramza and Delita looks at each other for a moment and Delita turns away.]

	Of course the leaders will also be killed... Nantens' Orlandu,
	Hokutens' Zalbag, and Dycedarg... Losing their leaders,
	both armies will stop fighting and turn to peace...

 Then, the Church will become the 'mediator'...

 And the people will support the Church entirely.
	They even threw in the Zodiac Brave Legend.

 But the Zodiac Stone...

 Right now, you're the Church's biggest obstacle.

 Aren't you trying to get the stones also?

[Delita stands up.]

 I'm not working for the Church!

 What do you mean?

[They looks into each other's eyes.]

 It means I'll kill you if I have to.

[They turns away from each other.]

	Don't worry. Our reasons may be different, but we want the same thing.
	As long as we want the same thing... we won't be enemies.

 Come with me....

 Sorry, I can't. She needs me.

[Ramza looks at Delita.]

 She...?

 Prince or Princess... It doesn't matter as long as they are easily
	controlled. The High Priest's plan calls for a puppet government.

 You're just using Ovelia for your own ambitions?

 ...I don't know. But...

[Ramza stands up.]

 But what?

 I would give my life for her...

 Delita...

[Delita looks at Ramza.]

 Is that strange?

 No. I believe you.

[Suddenly a man's harsh voice sounds from outside the church.
All people stands up. Ramza and Delita turns toward the door.]

Familiar Voice
	Ramza! The Church is surrounded!! Come out quietly!

 That voice... It's Zalmo!?

[Ramza & Delita fastly goes outside.]








42.1. Church outside the town - The Unneeded Witness


[3 Knights are standing beside the church. 2 Oracles and Zalmo are on the roof.]

 You're the Black Knight, Hyral! Why are you here?

 Now that you've seen me, I cannot let you live! C'mon, Ramza!!

 They're unknowingly part of the High Priest's plot!
	If you explain it well, they'd understand...

 Are you still so naive? ...Well, good luck!

	Conditions for Winning:
	Defeat Zalmo!

	Map



	Zalmo, Holy Priest Lv.35
		
	Wizard Rod		
	Holy Miter		
	White Robe		
	Elf Mantle		




 Do you know what you're doing? He's a top criminal!
	Anyone who helps him is guilty, too! You, leader of
	the Black Knights, dare oppose the Trial Examiners?

 I know who you are! That's why I must kill you all!

 What!? You audacious fool!! Your actions will disrupt the world order and
	oppose God's Natural Providence!! Are you trying to rebel against God!?

 Disrupt the 'order'? This 'order' you talk about is just a matter of your
	own convenience!! Using God as an 'order' to control the people
	is absurd! You have no right to take advantage of the innocent!!

 I don't care about God! I just want you to see the 'truth'!

 'Truth'? Are you saying this is not 'truth'? You had a chance to clear the
	charges in the Cardinal murder/Zodiac Stone robbery. But you blew
	it by running away! That proved your guilt! We're already decided
	you're guilty and sentenced you! It's too late to say anything!

 Then I guess I must fight!!

 Absorb power in the sky and strike! Lightning Stab!

[Delita kills Zalmo with 'Lightning Stab'.]

 Oh, God... please punish the wicked.

	BONUS MONEY:
	19,800 Gil

	WAR TROPHIES:
	Angel Ring








42.2. Frank Delita?


[Ramza & Delita are talking after the battle against Zalmo.]

 What're you going to do, Ramza?

 I had 2 reasons for coming to Zeltennia. One was
	to see you. The other is to see Count Orlandu.

 Thundergod Cid?

 I want his cooperation to uncover the Church's plot.

 How?

 I have strong 'proof' that will uncover the wrong-doing.

 The 'Germonik scriptures'!

 When I met Olan, the Count's adopted son,	
	he promised me if I had proof, he would
	stop the High Priest's conspiracy.

 Olan, huh?

[From nowhere appears a girl and fastly walks
up to Delita. Ramza looks at her with tension.]

 It's ok... She's one of us. Several people were sent
	from Murond to help me. She's one of them.

 Help...? More like to keep an eye on you.

 Hey, c'mon.
[to Ramza]
	She knows everything. She's the only
	one we can trust in the Goltana Army.

 You're the youngest Beoulve, Ramza, right?
	My name is Balmafula. Nice to meet you.

 And... what do you want?

 The Hokuten are moving.

 Is Ft. Bethla the target?

 Count Orlandu left for Bethla a while ago. Goltana's heading
	for Bethla... along with your Black Sheep Knights.

 [to Ramza]
	A little too late... The battle won't end...

 I'm not giving up. I'll persuade the Count before any more die.

 ...I guess it's good bye, Ramza.

 Stay alive, Delita.

 You too...

[Delita walks up to Ramza and stretches a hand.
Ramza shakes his hand and walks away.]

 You're letting him go?

 I know what he'll do.

 You even use your friends.

[Delita turns toward Balmafula.]

 Shut up! What do you know?

[Balmafula turns away.]

 I hate people like you.

 Hurry up and go!!

[Balmafula walks away.]




[New locations: Bed Desert, Bethla Garrison.]
