The End of the Fifty Year War
(at the Beoulve residence...)(Balbanes is lying in bed, just moments away from his last breath)
Balbanes: How goes....the battle?
Zalbag: Through swift action we were able to recover Limberry. It's only a matter of time before the Ordalia army leaves Zeltennia. Don't worry.
Lord Dycedarg: The secret messenger sent to Count Lenario has returned. Count Lenario has agreed to your plan.
Balbanes: Good...then, at last... this long war... will finally come to an end...
Alma: Father... (Alma starts to cry.)
Balbanes: Don't cry...my daughter....
Zalbag: Where is Ramza? Just when we need him most!
Balbanes: Dycedarg, Zalbag... my beloved sons... Take care of Ramza. He may be your half brother, but he is my own flesh.
(Ramza rushes in.)
Ramza: Father!!
Dycedarg: Lower your voice.
Balbanes: I'm glad you came.... Let me...look at you...
Ramza: Father....
Balbanes: It has been a long time... You've become a fine man... You start at the Academy...in spring, don't you? (...Balbanes reaches out to grab Ramza's hand.)
Ramza: .....
Balbanes: Listen, Ramza.... A Beoulve has served the royal family for generations. The warrior spirit is in us. Never shame your name... never tolerate injustice... Living true to your heart is the warrior's way... ...the Beoulve way.
Ramza: I understand, father....
Balbanes: Delita's a good boy. He should serve you well... I've asked the dean to accept him into the Academy. It shocked the dean a bit. He will serve you well... Treat him well...
Ramza: Y, yes.....father......
Balbanes: Take good care of Alma... (Balbanes lets go of Ramza's hand.) Become a fine knight... Ramza. (Balbanes then dies.)
