Dolf is going to take the money from the people by force.
They say there are big skirmishes all over the country.
- That's understandable. - The government must have piles of money.
Definitely.
Would you like to say something?
When the royal family was in financial trouble, I took a loan from Alfred.
But I couldn't pay him back.
It was very embarrassing, but I learned something from it.
Namely that even the royal family can't live without taking care of its financial matters.
I totally agree, Your Majesty.
The same applies to Dolf. With the money he inherited, he founded a political party
and gathered members who paid a membership fee.
The collected fees brought Dolf success and a position among the rich.
Isn't that so?
Yes. That's exactly how it went.
Money can buy power and a position.
Dolf knows that he needs a lot more money to stay in power.
That's why he let design that notorious law - in order to get even more money.
Wisely reasoned, Your Majesty. I'm sure everyone agrees with you.
You're quite different from before.
I'm different?
I'm sorry for being so straightforward, but you have greatly improved.
I guess practice has taught me.
I agree with His Highness.
Dolf has probably hidden all the money somewhere in the palace.
I know from experience that he won't let the money from his sight.
If the opposition in the country grows, he'll no longer be able to get that much money.
And once the money runs out, he'll lose his popularity and his position.
Exactly.
We have to find out where he has hidden the money and take it from him.
We have no choice.
I agree.
I suggest that one of you returns to your home country and does it.
I'll go!
Remember that you're on top of NCP's black list.
It would be dangerous for you to go.
But, Ollie. It's dangerous for all of us.
I'm coming with you.
Colonel?
Everything will go well if we work together.
The Archbishop. The Church will support us after all.
Tell him to wait in the salon and that I'll be there once I'm done eating.
Yes.
Wait a moment.
Yes?
I don't think you should see the Archbishop today.
Why not?
Remember how he behaved? He measured you in money and withheld his help.
And now he wants to make peace with you when your victory is certain.
Is it certainly certain? How do you know?
I just know. And that's why we should give him the cold shoulder and scare him away today.
But they're promising to support us.
Everyone knows the Archbishop is volatile.
It's difficult to say if he's on our side if the king gets his position back.
That will never happen.
Surely not, President. But we have to keep in mind that if the king returned to power,
the Archbishop would betray us. That's absolutely certain.
He's suspicious. He can go away.
He'll return in due time, and then you can see him.
He'll be happy, and you'll give him a small sum of money as a donation.
That way we'll make friends with the Church or at least the Archbishop.
Goodbye!
I had no idea we'd have to go back up the river that we first came down.
The whole border is guarded.
This is the only way.
There.
What's going on here? There are soldiers of the National Crows Party everywhere.
They're alert in case of demonstrations. Bad for us.
What are we going to do now?
We won't get anywhere near the palace like this.
Help! I'm drowning!
Help!
The boy is in trouble!
Swim this way, boy!
Hold on! We'll help you!
Help!
Don't give up!
Hey! Those are our clothes!
Look!
Let's follow them!
Let's follow them!
Aren't we just attracting even more attention this way?
Looks like it, but let's try to be like we aren't even here.
What are we going to do now?
Don't panic. Let's turn at the next corner.
Sir, are you in the NCP?
Of course.
What are those doing?
Now we're in trouble.
Dolf is our leader!
This way!
Stop that!
Colonel...
What are you doing? There's no time to play with children! Hurry!
Have you forgotten that the palace guards are meant to gather at the town square?
So you've forgotten the gathering? The square is that way!
Dolf is our leader! Dolf is our leader!
Down with Dolf! Down with Dolf!
Make way for the Archbishop!
I'm sorry I made Your Grace wait.
That's alright. You must be busy with the riots outside the palace.
It's a constant blockade.
It must be the new law.
The law is very revolutionary and it's clear it's being opposed in certain circles.
But it doesn't affect the Church, as you very well know.
Yes, the state of the Church is very worrisome.
We're ready to donate a thousand gold coins to improve it.
Is that so?
I support your church and would like you to support our party.
I don't know yet.
Talk to our treasurer. He will give you the money today.
Drive the people away! Hurry!
Terrible!
Now we can slip into the palace.
