Nemesis
Scene 1 [The Throne-room]
Irakura: I’ve received a messenger from the leader of the foreign forces. He calls himself Takamaru Gashi. He claims he’s been sent by God to free this land. He’s given us the chance to surrender. I sent him the messenger… minus his clothes and hair.
Eru Yagami: Some of the people think Takamaru can help.
Kasupe: Others are still loyal.
Eru: Our followers will wait to see how we react.
Scene 2 [The Grand Plaza]
Kasupe and Eru: I declare allegiance to Norea!
Eru: Even if it means allegiance to the Prince.
Scene 3 [Eru’s Apartment]
Atsura: Allegiance to the Prince?
Eru: Better under the Prince then Takamaru.
Scene 4 [The Throne-room]
Kasupe: Me and Eru want in on the war. As generals.
Irakura: Hm. I will take you Kasupe, as you have a noble’s training, but I don’t know about Eru.
Eru: Why don’t we play a game of chess, for you to see?
Irakura: Splendid idea.
[They play chess. At one point, Irakura sweeps all the pieces off the board.]
Irakura: I never allow checkmate, even if I have to cheat. And I can cheat, because I’m the Prince.
Eru: Very good. Very good.
Irakura: But, I can see that you are an excellent strategist. Very well, you may join me and Kasupe. Three candidates, three generals, one prince, one supreme commander.
