Is everyone all right?

Sharp?

Compared to when the Leviathan crashed, this is nothing.

I’m fine too.

Yes, I’m all right.

Good.

It's coming back!

What do we do?!

Klopp, any explosive shells?

No, unfortunately.

They may be covered in snow.

I can’t see a thing from here.

I’ll give instructions.

You mustn't. It's too dangerous!

Angle 15 degrees up, 10 degrees left!

Fire on my signal!

No, wait, Alek!

The wind is strong.

It's five degrees left!

Fire now!

Heck yeah!

-Okay. -Roger.

-Okay, take this too. -It's heavy. Take that one.

Young Master.

How is it? Will it move?

The engine is somehow holding up,

but the damage to each part is quite severe.

I doubt it can run much longer.

I see.

Are you proud of shooting down the German forces?

It was my fault.

Be silent.

Answer me. Are you proud of yourself?

There was no other way.

The fact is, we’re alive.

And I saved your life too, Volger.

Bravo.

I witnessed your brilliant tactics,

standing right in front of the enemy’s guns.

Listen.

You ignored your own safety without considering your post.

And this is the result!

The German forces will be back soon.

And yet we have lost our means of escape.

Your Highness, it’s up to you to decide.

Do we barricade ourselves in that castle and fight to the death,

or do we beg for their mercy?

It seems that dreadful airbeast is trying

to ascend like a hot air balloon, despite its lack of preparation.

They’re eager to learn your identity,

and though Austria and Britain have yet to declare war,

once they know who you are, they'll likely capture you.

However, if that happens, you would at least survive.

There’s no need to decide now.

We still have one day until the German forces return.

That is all the advice I can offer.

Could you give me a hand?

What's this for?

We need to shed as much weight as we can.

Is that because the hydrogen hasn’t accumulated yet?

Aye. And the engine's broken too.

What? The Leviathan had an engine onboard?

Huh?

Aye, just a wee one for adjusting its course.

The walker has two engines, both in good working order.

If we mount them on the Leviathan,

it might be able to fly at high speed even without sufficient hydrogen.

But it takes ages to get that set up.

Besides, I doubt the Leviathan would be satisfied with a Clanker’s engine.

Fortunately, Klopp is the most skilled mechanic in all of Austria.

And anyway, handling the Beastie's mood is your forte, right?

Indeed. It's possible.

In return, we want you to refrain from looking into our true identities

and release us somewhere before we arrive in Britain.

The Leviathan is heading for the Ottoman Empire.

It’s a neutral nation, isn’t it?

Currently, yes.

In that case, let us go when we reach the Ottoman Empire.

You’ll be able to continue your journey with the walker's engines after that.

I shall explain to the captain.

Amazing.

See? A hundred times faster than that crappy Clanker tool!

Huh?!

All right, let's remove those engines.

Right here.

What kind of eggs are these?

Who knows? She won’t tell me.

But whatever they are, they're super important to the doctor.

I’m clueless about Clanker-made stuff. You've got this, right?

Uh, right.

I really can’t wrap my head around how Darwinists think.

-That thing earlier-- -The barnacle?

Yes. Press the button.

Got it.

Using the natural behavior of living creatures to melt iron?

That's remarkable technology.

You're really not the noble-type.

Huh?

Well, nobles always seem so full of themselves. It gets on my nerves.

-But you've had a rough time too. -Huh?

I mean, wasn’t the whole thing set off

by your archduke and his wife getting assassinated?

I don’t know the full story, but they were on a leisure trip, right?

I mean, give me a break.

It's not the nobles who die in wars.

It's us soldiers and ordinary people.

We’re the ones living in reality, you know.

Then what am I?

If I’m not living in reality,

then what am I?

Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.

-But, you know-- -I’m going.

Wait! Hold on, Alek!

What’s up with him?

No way!

We're being shelled?!

-What happened? -What is it?

It's near the castle.

What the hell is that monster?!

It has eight legs!

The enemy is an eight-legged walker! Notify the captain!

Got it.

Why isn’t it rising?!

Maybe the engine is heavier than you claimed?

Impossible! I told you the exact weight down to the gram!

The captain wouldn't have made a calculation error either.

-What’s this? -A ballast alert!

Dump as much as you can!

I'll go too.

Why isn’t it rising?

There's nothing left to throw out!

Damn it, the Clanker's engines are too heavy!

Hey, are the engines running?

Yeah, but something is wrong.

What is going on? Bumrag!

The enemy will likely launch another attack in about 20 minutes.

We urgently have to lose about one ton of weight.

One ton!

Seriously?

I’m sure you all heard that.

To take off, at least 15 people will need to leave the ship.

I’ll get off.

-Me too. -I’ll step off.

-Me as well. -Me too.

-Me too. -Same here.

-I'll get off. -Me too.

-I'm in. -Me too.

I promise we’ll come back for you.

Hang in there until then.

Get ready for evacuation right away! Quickly!

You know, yesterday, I…

Hey, tell that old man Volger

not to roam around outside at night.

He'll freeze to death.

Those gold bars represent your future, Your Highness,

and the future of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

What are you thinking, Volger?

Have you gone mad?!

Listen carefully.

No matter your claim to the throne,

no one will support you without money.

Those gold bars are indispensable for you to become emperor.

This is an airship.

Every gram makes a difference!

That should have been settled by the sacrifice of those soldiers.

Your Highness, your duty to Austria outweighs their lives.

What the hell, you bastard?!

Barking spiders! No way in hell!

I don’t give a damn about his title or his duty!

Are you telling me our lives are worth less than those shiny chunks?!

-Calm down, Sharp! -How can I calm down?!

What a well-mannered friend you have.

Listen, I could reveal your true identity to everyone.

After that, we'll capture you and feed you to the Beastie!

Look, Alek, this is the true nature of a Darwinist.

Let me repeat myself.

You have a mission more important than their lives.

Why you…

Silence, Volger!

Don’t you realize? I’ve gained something far more significant!

True allies!

Of course, I have no intention of abandoning Austria’s future.

But losing the gold doesn’t mean we're out of options!

Lost lives don’t come back.

A future gained at the cost of others' lives is worthless!

Sharp, give me a hand.

Uh, sure.

So your pompous way of talking finally makes sense.

I didn't expect you to be a prince.

Just a prince, nothing more.

Just a prince, huh?

That’s quite a cheeky way to put it!

There’s no time. Dump it in one go.

All right.

Ready? Go.

Alek!

Sharp?!

We’re starting to lift.

-Yeah! -Amazing!

Go!

The truth about His Highness has leaked.

What on earth?!

So far only to that man Sharp.

In any case, war is on the horizon.

It’s a race. Will we reach the Ottoman Empire first… or be captured?

He has, however, come to resemble his father.

What?

To abandon his inheritance to uphold his beliefs.

You're wrong. What he abandoned was his duty.

He made an impulsive choice, focusing only on the problem at hand.

Immaturity and inexperience still linger. We must keep a closer eye on him.

If not, His Highness and Austria have no future.

Sorry I’m late.

How did it go?

As expected, he asked about you.

Sorry, but…

I see.

Nah, just kidding! There's no way I'd spill anything!

Thank goodness.

It’s awesome though, right?

The Beastie with the Clanker engine?

It's like combining the best of both worlds. It’s pretty cool.

I wish countries could do the same.

I’m sorry. I shouldn't have said anything bad about your parents.

Well, the fact that my family dragged the whole world into the war is the truth.

You know, I don’t have parents either.

My mother hasn't been around for as long as I can remember,

and my father, who taught me the joy of flying,

died two years ago while protecting me.

There were times I blamed myself for his death.

How can I put it…

Never mind! I don’t even know what I’m trying to say!

Anyway, the point is, you didn’t do anything wrong.

Thanks.

But I'm relieved.

Now there’s nothing more to hide. I don’t want to lie to you.

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I'm Aleksandar von Hohenberg. Pleased to meet you.

Aye, sure.

What’s your full name?

I…

I'm…

Dylan… Dylan Sharp.

It seems you were right.

This explosion was man-made.

We have to hurry. We need to finalize these calculations immediately.

In a world heading toward war,

such power may be the key to saving humanity.

Or…

it might also bring about its end.
