Original subtitles

In the latter part of the 17th century, the conquering hordes of Malik, Bay of

Tunis, swept across northern Africa. City after city fell before the

relentless attack.

Soon Malik's vast armies were hammering at the very gates of the kingdom of

Miserata. While his fleet moved in to control the harbor,

Miserata's walls were breached after a long siege, and the defenders of the

city found themselves fighting in the very streets, trying desperately to

prevent the capture of Princess Kin, ruler of Miserata.

A complete defeat was not too long in coming for some of Malik's soldiers had

managed to open the palace gates.

The house-to-house battle ended when every official building in the city

except the palace was under control of Malik's officers.

When the vast armies of Malik Bay of Tunis made their triumphant entry into

the city, Malik believed Princess Kjun already a prisoner.

An easy victory, your excellency. Conquering a kingdom or a woman should

never be too difficult. You have plans for the princess. I hear

she is very beautiful. Very definite plans, General Tumiti. Her

subjects are too loyal. The beautiful princess must die.

Come. Malik has entered the city.

And his fleet has control of the harbor. Here are some men's clothing for you and

the princes. Order a complete surrender, Captain.

Risk no more lives. Mr. fight another day. Now, is everything arranged as

planned? Yes, your highness. The horses are

already at the back gate. Good. Then come along so soon.

Princess Car. Yes.

I've served the throne of Isra these many years. Please let me escort you to

Tripoli. Thank you, Captain Molen. But what I

must do in Tripoli, I can do better alone. Come on, sir.

Miserata's dignitaries came out of the palace to surrender and beg mercy.

As captain of the royal palace guard, I surrender Miserat to the victor. Malle

Bay of Tonise. Surrender from a captain. Where is the

princess Kjan? The princess has left the city.

You hear that, Tomi? Where were the gods?

She can't have gone far, your excellency. Our spies would have

reported it. So long as Princess Karjan lives, she's

a menace. Wherever she is, find her. She must not live.

Hang him in the public square. Let everyone see the reward for loyalty to

the Princess Karan.

Princess Karin and Sono, her handmaidaten, made good their escape

from Miserata. In a wild ride across the open, treacherous countryside, they

headed for the city of Tripoli, the one remaining seapport not under Malik's

flag. Even Malik wanted no part of this place, for it was a stronghold of the

notorious pirates of Tripoli.

I seek a man named Adriel Gadrien. Gadrien? You seek death, stranger. Where

is he to be found? In the air, on the rooftops, in the

marketplace. Gadrien is Tripoli. Tell us where, old man. You waste

precious time. My eyes see much, and my stomach needs

much food.

My stomach is grateful for noble one. One can never be sure at the end of the

golden feather.

All right, Kea. You'll never get a ring on my finger, so see if you can get one

on my leg. Go ahead, Keer. This might be the last

look you'll have of that delightful leg.

So, you wanted to take me from Gadrien, eh? This will teach you.

You so sure he won't miss target like that I could find in the

dark.

Here's a man who knows how to appreciate a fine leg.

You won the toss. You choose the weapon. The knife of the double blade.

A double blade it is.

You're an idiot, Kappa. You have grown too big for this world.

And Gri will send him to another. Ready?

I've been ready for a long time. Have at it, Miss

I'm doing

I don't like this at Oh, I'm as frightened as you are, sir. But these

thieves and murderers are our only chance.

Come on. Come on.

Princess, please. Let's all go.

What do you want here? I want to talk to a man called Adriel

Gadrien. You do, eh?

Well, yeah. Wash the blood off him. And why do

you want to talk to Adri Gadrien? Boy, girl,

I'd rather discuss that with Gadrien himself.

Is he here? If he were, he would have no ears for

anything you have to say. Then perhaps a half a million diners in

gold would buy him some ears. That's large talk for such a small girl.

Your name? I am Princess Kajjan of Mizurata.

Princess.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, where are your manners? Have you forgotten how to greet

a princess? Bow down on your knees to a highness. Welcome to Tripoli, Princess

Kajan. Thank you. Thank you for your gracious

greeting.

Right. Another gold bed. She hasn't got one gold dinar on her, let alone her

million. Go. I demand that you take me to Gadrien

immediately. I made it. You're here. Take it to

Gadrien.

Is this another one of your jokes? You are the Joker. These men know I'm

Grian, but who knows you're a princess? Surely some of you recognize me. Haven't

any of you been to Miserata? No, never. Who goes to Miserata?

But there's been a war. If the fools in the palaces wish to kill

each other off, good riddance. I'd heard that Adriel Gadrien was the

greatest sea captain in the entire Mediterranean.

He is, but one such as you with no brain cannot

be the man. Throw her, Ar Gadrien. Why should we even bother to listen to her?

I want to find out more about her gold. Is there a quiet place we can talk?

Oh, very quiet. You're not going to take her upstairs.

For half a million dinars in gold, I'll take anybody upstairs.

You stay here, little one. You have a little more wine, you'll think you're

back in the palace. Hey, Pregnum. Someday I'll kill him. I swear it.

Calm yourself, Sheree. He has played enough for one evening.

Princess, you have your way. We are alone at last.

Keep your hands off me, you filthy pirate.

Pirate? Yes. In Tripoli, piracy is an honorable profession. But filthy? I

woman, you offend me. Ever since I discovered that water can be used for

other pleasures than sailing ships on. I've bathed every morning. I am the

cleanest man in Tripoli, perhaps in the whole world.

Do you or do you not want to hear about the gold?

Certainly. Tell me about it while I take another bath just for you.

Well, then I'll wait for you downstairs. Oh, no, princess.

Please don't take another bath. I must. If a woman has called me filthy,

but I didn't mean it that way. It just goes with pirate. Filthy pirate.

You know, all kinds of women have come to see me using silly excuses just like

yours. And all of them knew what they wanted.

But you apparently don't. So what am I supposed to do with you?

With me? Nothing. But if you'll only believe that I'm Princess Kajjon.

Oh, the water is cold. B.

I can make you and your pirates very rich.

Ah, hand me the soap. Doesn't half a million dinas in gold

mean more to you than soap? Not when a woman has called me filthy.

The soap, please.

Thank you. Hurry, will you please?

Temper, woman. Temper. In such a hurry, why don't you come and help me scrub my

back? You won't? All right, princess. Tell me

about the gold.

You We seek two women who rode through this gate a short while ago.

Two women? I saw two youths. Just boys. That is all. You know where they went.

My eyes see much, but my stomach needs much food.

My stomach is grateful. The ones you seek have gone to the end of the golden

feather.

Come on, girl. Drink up. This won't hurt you. Why? In Tripoli, we wean babies on.

We met Mo. We are all bottle babies. But I I never tasted anything but wine.

What's your age? It's wine. Do you know how they make this stuff? Silly farm

hands walk around on the grapes and their bare feet.

Feet are all right when you know who they belong to.

Blink up at another sip and you'll be able to slit a

man's throat from ear to ear as good as any of us.

The parach chief has taken the princess to the second floor.

There's stairs at the rear. Good.

This must be very unhealthy. Makes me feel so very good.

And it burns. Fire of life. Good up.

Then you expect my pirates and my ships to attack me, Zorata, defeat Malik, put

you back on the throne just for gold? You've fought for less before.

Less than what? Well, early tonight, weren't you fighting over a woman?

A woman is less important to you than gold.

The only thing that's important to me is the throne of Mizorata.

Of course, I keep forgetting. You're not a woman. You're a princess.

Naturally. There's nothing natural about that.

Hand me a towel. I will not.

Very well. I shall get it myself. No.

All right, I'll hand it to you.

Oh, look completely dressed.

It's not locked. What for? If you were going to have a party, why

didn't you invite us? The room was crowded as it was.

But this was still a breeze. I could cure him of that fast.

Wait, speak fastly. Why did you want to kill a girl?

Mercy. We were obeying orders. Whose orders?

His excellency, Malik, Bay of Tunis. Why did he want a girl killed?

She She is Karan, princess of Mizorata. And the one downstairs I filled with

rum. I She'll never be the same. Now get her up here to attend a princess and

take those two roaches out. So you are a princess. No wonder you

don't know how to kiss. You call that a kiss?

What is your answer? Are you going to help me defeat Malik or not?

Gold is gold. My ships will attack Misorata in 3 days.

Thank you. Should I kiss it or shake it?

As you choose.

A problem. You're used to giving orders.

Yes, of course. And I'm not used to taking orders.

So, what do you propose?

Well, somebody has to be in command. Suppose I want you to do

I shall take no orders from a woman. But, uh,

do you know what this is? A whistle.

Do you know how to use it? Of course. Well, then if you ever really

have to order me. You mean uh

just blow.

Alex hired assassin having escaped death in Tripoli. Started back immediately for

Misery. There he was to tell what he had learned of the plans of Gadrien and

Princess Car.

You are positive the man was Grian himself?

Yes. Excellency.

If Kajjan buys the services of the pirate fleet, we're in trouble. We're

not prepared to fight another war now. There won't be another war. Without

ships, Gadron will be helpless. But he has many ships. All of them

heavily armed. How do you intend to? With a surprise attack, my brilliant

general. We can sink every pirate vessel in the harbor of Tripoli before they

have a chance to weigh anchor. Splendid. The very boldness of your plan

assures success. Order our ships to sail tonight. By dawn, our entire fleet can

be off the coast of Tripoli.

way. He's ringing an alarm bell. The devil himself must be coming.

I thought he was on our side. Lot of supplies already aboard. Let's get them

out.

Someone attacking Tripoli. No one ever has before.

So, Princess Wench, you come to Tripoli, fill my Gadrien's head with nonsense

about gold. Then, when he is off guard, you have your fleet attack him.

My fleet? The ships fly the flag of Miserata.

They fly the flag of Miserata. They must be Malik's ships.

When Gabrien learns the truth, he'll slit your gullet. And if he doesn't, I

will.

You should never have smiled at that pirate.

I couldn't help it.

Cal Beach defends our man. You'll get the supplies off the ship. All right.

We'll handle the fort.

First, we'll fire at their ships and supplies.

Come on, man. Move. Let's go. Come on. Move. Hurry.

Fire.

Push those supplies off. Get the ammunition off.

Hurry. Hurry, man. Hurry.

Hurry. Come on. Hurry. Step right in there. Step right.

Hurry. Come on. Move.

Move

that cargo. Get the ammunition on.

We're in range of their fort. Prepare to fire.

You get on a cannon over there. More power. Bring out those tanks.

Start training your cannons.

Ready? Fire.

Ready. Fire.

See with a broken mast. Rain together.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Nobody ever dared attack Tripley until she came here. And us caught like a

bunch of squallen brats with our fingers stuck in the jam. Trapped without a

chance to use our ships to fight back. Every one of our fine vessels burned are

at the bottom of the harbor. And whose fault is it? Hers. Princess Wenge.

Kajjan isn't to blame for this. You're a fool.

What's your tongue? She would have had to be out of her mind to stay if she

knew what was going to happen. Would she?

Maybe she and this Malik planned it together. Maybe he's even her lover.

Of course. That's why I sent assassins to kill her.

Malik is clever. He isn't taken in by a pretty face and a pretty leg. We'd all

be better off if she were dead. Thank you. But wouldn't it be better if

I remain alive until Gadrien gets his gold?

I'm for that. I'm not.

This is none of your affair, dear. I'll make it my affair.

Get out. Get out quickly.

In a way, she's right. Malik only attacked Tripoli because I came here for

your help. And you might as well leave. With our

ships, we're of no use to you. But there's a way you can get new ships.

Huh? We'll listen to anything. The treasure in the palace at Mizorata.

The royal jewels. The royal jewels.

Yes. With them, you can buy fighting ships in either Italy or Spain.

Then we can attack Miserata, take the palace, and get the whole treasure.

Give me two good men, and I'll show them how to steal the jewels.

Well, there are only two good men in Tripoli, Grien and me. We'll get your

little highness in and out of Miserata safe enough.

You can't take a chance on going back to Miserata.

There's no other way to get the jewels. Well, if we can risk our next, she can

risk hers. We She wants your throne, and we want

gold. Everybody works together. What do you mean you we can't get the

jewels without you? I have it all worked out on paper. Would

you and hammered me come upstairs with me?

Why not? It's you and Nick.

Now, this is the location of the vault. It's in a huge cabin beneath the palace.

The treasure stored there underwater. That's very clever.

A trained slave, a diver named Ali Koban, knows the position and content of

each chest in the vault. Whatever the palace needs, Ali Koban gets.

How do we know he'll help us? He'll help me. There's another friend in

Miserata, a merchant named Abu Tala. Good. He can get us fresh horses for our

return to Tripoli. But won't there be guards around the

palace? Yes, we'll have to prevent them from

sounding the alarm. A job for gentle Mary.

Gentle Mary? Who is she? His best friend.

And more silent than any female could be.

You pirates make an art of killing, don't you?

End of living. You'll find out. Hammed.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Your highness should dare come back now. These are good friends. Abutella.

Gadrienne and her meet. Gadrienne the pirate.

We need three fresh horses. Can you get them for us?

Yes. Yes. I have a brother. No time to explain. Get them ready. Sh

Mary getting awake.

Wait till I get into position.

Get out.

Gentle Mary was never more gentle tonight.

Here's

the vault. This is Ali Koban's cell. It's open.

Slaves are kept in chains.

This isn't Ali Koba. Where is he? The diver for the treasure vault.

Alec Cobin was a stupid traitor. He's dead. I'm the diver now.

Get up. Break him loose. Hammy.

This chain doesn't break my friend. Your arm will.

Oh.

Turn the wheel. It'll raise the trapped door.

You expect her to hold. You can't think much of your own eyes. He will find you.

Can he swim with this weight? It better. You know which chest contains

the royal jewels. Seems to be a gold one about this size.

That Malik may have changed things. I know which one it is. I'll bring it

up.

Come and get your own treasure. I'm not risking my life to help you.

Gentle belly. Never hit him from this angle.

Aha. This time I'm taking the bath.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Speak my friend. Which chest has the royal jewels?

It's the black one. Who the crush on it?

I've got it. Get me out of here.

Get me out.

That's the one. Hamid, put the jewels in your pocket.

princess the delightful surprise.

Damn it. Get them out.

A man with a black hat escaped with the princess. After them.

Take this man to the dungeon. I want to find out what the prince is pursuing

here.

Revive this man at once, General Zidi.

His excellency wants some information. That his excellency shall have it.

What have you learned? Nothing, your excellency. Absolutely

nothing. No matter what I do to him, all he does

is call us a vilest of names. And probably all of them true. Where is

he? Chained unconscious.

Find out what I want to know, torture master, or you'll end up in one of your

own devices. See, do it for me. I told you I'm not going back without

Grien. Gadrien's dead.

And I'm staying here until I find out whether he's dead or alive. If he's

alive, Malik will take him to the torture chamber.

That's right. Malik would take him to the torture chamber. How late is it?

Oh, I'd say it lacks about an hour to dawn.

Then as soon as the peddlers have taken their place for the day in the market

square, we're going into the palace. Sounds fine, but how?

There's a tavern. The guards go to buy food and drink. You're going to visit

that tavern first, Hamid. Come on. Come on.

Not so fast. These slaves just arrived by caravan for valley. Stand aside. We

were told of no slaves. Look, Flee, his excellency will have you

drawn and quartered if he doesn't get these slaves while they're still fresh.

They look like they'll keep profile. Ah, you a good eye, my friend.

Hammed and I will go alone from here. Mingle with the peddlers and get out

when they do.

unconscious again. These pirates are no better than women.

You're dead. Just after the I swallowed a bucket of

water. What did you do? Join the the guards just for the day.

Hey, up there. Please hurry. The grounds are crowded

with peddlers. Now's our chance to get out.

Thank you.

Here

they go.

Heat. Heat.

We'll stay around here someplace until we are safe.

Cold. Yes, very.

Don't be silly. Even the finest people bundle in the cold.

Bundle? Mhm.

You don't like us, do you? Can anyone like piracy?

I do. I love it. I've never known anything else.

You mean you wouldn't change your life even if you could?

It's too late to reform me. Triple is the only place in the world I can live

without having my head chopped off. But haven't you ever thought of living some

better way? Yes, I've given the matter some thought.

You know, I never had enough clothes, and I always wanted to dress so that I'd

catch the eye of every beautiful woman. Also, I always wanted a sword with a

gold hilt. These are things you want most? Well, I

could do with a coach as fine as any belonging to the palace. In fact, I

wouldn't mind having a palace. I see. A palace with enough rooms for

all the beautiful women who admire your fine clothes and gold sword and coach.

Well, that might be an interesting arrangement, but uh I don't think my

wife would like it. Wife? You're not married?

No, not yet. Good.

I mean, I I didn't think you were.

Are you warm now? Yes, thank you. I'm warm now.

Well, then good night and sleep well.

How's that for your lads? Enough to buy the finest fighting ships in the whole

blasted world. The sooner we start buying, the better

I'll feel. A pirate is not a pirate without a deck

under his feet. Too bad you look at the royal jewels.

Now listen, a merchant man is leaving the island of

Gerber tomorrow, bound for Italy. Since it is dangerous for all of us to set

foot in foreign countries, only Hammond and I are going to accompany the

princess. Why take a woman with you when a man

that can fight might do you more good in case there's trouble? The only way we

can get ships quickly is through a request from a member of the royal

family. When Kajan buys the ships from the king,

Hammet and I will become official members of her party.

I am to be grand vizier. Me toast miss yours. Maybe red stones match

Malik's red face when he looks into the guns of our new navy.

What did you learn first? The gold

His Excellency doesn't have to cheat such a

one as you. Malik would cheat his own grandmother.

Your information. Gadrien brought this on himself.

Watch for a ship that will be bombed for Italy. The Princess, Gadrien, and Hammet

are going to buy new ships. You're sure? But

I'd be here now if I weren't. Is there anything else?

Nothing. Very well.

Now, there's only one of us who knows our little secret. Eh,

you are sure your information is correct? I'm certain the information is

correct, excellency. The one who supplied it was present at the meeting

of the pirates. So, the princess and Gadriin are to be

aboard the vessel bound for Italy. Yes, excellency. You shall be nobly

rewarded. Shall I dispatch our fleet at once?

Immediately. The ships are to sail in pairs and uh have them fly the flag of

Misurata. They are to cover every inch between Italy and Gerba until Kjan's

boat is overtaken and she is captured alive.

Alive. Alive. Her

trial will prove to everyone I'm a man of justice, but her execution will put

an end to Kajjun as a threat. But what about Gadrien?

Have them bring me back his head.

Khan's still asleep. Yes, the little one must have been very

tired. You must be tired, too, looking through that thing. Yeah, let me get

crosseyed for a while.

I must really be getting crosseyed. Look.

Two ships and I'm not really crosseyed after all.

Captain Senior, raise all canvas.

Oh no, Senori. The ship she lies too low in the water.

Take a look. Those two ships are enemies. This tub will lie so low you'll

never see her again. Are they chasing us?

Do as I told you and you'll find out.

place.

There is no doubt now we are being followed

and by morning they should be on us. But who are they and what do they want?

Perhaps you should know who your passenger in the cabin below is.

Who? The girl. She's Princess Kjan.

Princess on my ship. You have the honor, my friend.

Oh, such an honor. I could do without it. Seeing

the princess is not to be told about the danger.

You have plenty ammunition aboard. Oh, this is a cargo vessel. A few

cannons have never been used. Then you better start cleaning them.

Fight back with this ship. Operio Senor, look. This is a madness. We haven't got

no chance. Calm down, Captain. There's nothing to

worry about now. Wait till the morning.

Captain, the ships are gaining.

Imagine

my sleeping all day. Haven't slept so well in years. Must be the CA.

Does it help your appetite to? Best way to find out is to invite me to

dinner. Consider yourself invited, princess.

What would you care to have? Oh, about eight courses and three kinds

of wine. I see. Well, you won't die on an empty

stomach. How can you even think about death on a

night like this? Clear, lots of stars, moonlight.

Perfect setting for a funeral. Ria died on a night like this.

You've been thinking about Ria. Yes, I believe I know now why she was

killed. Oh,

a Tunisian gold piece was found in her hand. And two of Malik's warships are

following us now. Look.

Will we get to Italy before they reach us?

No. I think they'll catch up with us shortly

after dawn. I see.

Well, are you going to scream, cry, faint?

Perhaps, but not yet.

I didn't really think you would. It's the first nice thing you said to

me. Say some more.

Well, I think I I Oh, this is silly. I'm a

pirate, not a poet.

I adore you. Nothing must happen to you tomorrow.

I don't want you to fight. I don't want any more people killed

because of me. I've lost and that's that.

Surrender to Melik ships in the morning. Are those orders?

Yes, those are orders. You forget I don't take orders from a

woman. Not even the woman I love.

Keep a sharp eye. Only one ship's moving in the firing position. The other

standing by. Just like off those B lines.

Look lively up there.

Gadri, go below.

Please.

Can you hear what I said? Go below.

Fire.

Power up. Cannon two. Fire. Ready. Fire.

I'm a dude. Easy. Now,

Captain Singora, Captain, do you want to put an end to

this bloodshed? Zora, but it's the man. Pay no more attention to him.

I will tell you what to do.

Tie them up. Cease fire.

The Italian cargo vessel was overtaken and boarded by the attackers. Princess

Caution was made prisoner.

When Malik's vessels had gone, Gadrien and Harid were released by the Italian

crew.

I ought to hang you for this. Her highness's orders were to overpower you,

hide you, and raise the flag of surrender.

How did you dare obey her orders? You should be grateful, Senori. The

princess hides you well. They look for you in every corner of the ship.

She's a nice little one. Yes, besides her highness. They took a

packet filled with jewels. Well,

this ship is in no condition to reach Italy. Turn her back. We're sailing for

Tripoli.

Princess, allow me to welcome you on your return to the palace.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer you the same accommodations you once enjoyed.

Don't apologize, Malik. As long as you are in the palace, any accommodations

you'd offer me would not be welcome. Put her in the cell.

Heat. Heat.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please wake up. You must listen.

Go away, old man. Let me sleep. Then tell me why I could find Grien.

Adrienne? What do you want him for? I've come from Mr. Rata. My name is Abu

Tala. The friend of the princess.

Yes. Yes. Something has happened. She's been captured by Malik.

You lie, mister. Kenan and Grian are on a boat bond for Italy.

I tell you, she's been captured. I saw it with my own eyes. And Grian's dead.

Otherwise, Malik couldn't have taken her.

All the jewels. It is the end of everything, my friends.

For years, I have seen Gadrien play with death as if it were a toy. Now,

what now?

Wait a minute. It's the Italian merchant man.

You're right.

Then you're sure Abu Tala that Princess Kajjan is still alive?

She was last night. That's all I know. You must try to help her.

If uh 200 of our men would get into Mizorata without being noticed, hide 200

men. They might come in as a caravan drivers.

Small caravan carrying oil and wine would not be noticed. I have friends

among the merchant who would vouch for the cargos. It might be done.

But we need ships, Gadrian. We could not take the city without controlling the

harbor. We'll use our fleet. Flee? What fleet?

The Italian merchant man. One ship and a cargo vessel at that.

You must be wounded in the head, too. Damn it. You take charge of the men who

get into Mizorata. Choose vantage points and surround the palace.

There's for the one ship. I think I have an idea.

Then you confess, princess, that you were involved in conspiracy against the

throne. I confess to nothing.

You deny you were in league with robbers and assassins under the leadership of

Gadrien. I was in league with men who are willing

to fight against tyranny. Because of your confession, it is my

decision that you be executed when all of Miserata can see at noon tomorrow.

Quiet. Stand back. You'll see the execution soon enough.

Fire. Stand back.

You expected trouble from the people, Tomi. You see, they are nothing but

sheep. Frightened sheep.

Flur.

Throw it on, you idiots. Sink her before she reaches the city.

Excellency, a ship is drifting in. She flies the plague flag.

Plague. Dead men lay on her deck. She moves with the current straight on our

docks. Fire our cannon. Sink her.

The men are afraid, sir. They're deserting their posts.

Order the palace guard to man the cannon.

We have passed their fleet. Good. The ship's cannon can't fire at us

now without hitting the city.

and those cannons. Hurry, hurry.

Sink that ship faster on those cannons. Ready on number one cannon, sir.

Fire.

Our shore batteries. An effective way of stopping an

epidemic.

Fire.

Stay still. Only 100 m.

No.

Right on this dock.

20 m more. Get the musketss.

I may have to scale the palace walls. Bring ropes and grappling hooks. I I

Excellency, the men on that ship are alive.

They're raiding the docks. We are being attacked by one ship.

Yes, excellency. That plague flag was a trick.

Send reinforcements as many as necessary. Yes, sir.

And seated all entrances to the palace grounds are closed.

The reinforcements can't get through the gates.

We don't have enough provisions for a siege.

Then we must leave before the palace grounds are surrounded and Princess

Caran will be our guarantee of safety.

Down from those rooftops, men

with a plague. You look mighty healthy to me.

How did it go? They don't like us. Close the palace

gates in our faces. We'll open them.

Yeah. So simple. Poof. Like that.

Poof. It is. Put plenty of cannon power into one of those cards. Light a fuse

and roll a card to the gates and

release the princess from herself.

Any

troops left in a barracks? Take the prisoner. Come with me.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Let's

go.

Thank you.

Hey

And to all the worthy men of Tripoli who have served our cause so well, I bestow

all the land and gold that you need to sustain you for as long as you live.

Yay!

And for you, Gadrien, anything you wish for in Miserata is

yours. I wish for nothing, your highness.

You've more than kept your bargain. If you should ever need me, I shall be in

Tripoli.

Yeah.

Heat.
