BATTLE FOR ROME part one

- Finally, Rome! - The future capital is ready, my king.

No, Hildenbrandt, Gothic garrison.

We will not bring torch fire to Rome of this war. We will give Rome peace.

This is only possible if our the banner will fly over Rome.

Why do we needlessly sneer at the pride of the Romans.

Single garrison ready in this city enough for our protection.

When conquering Rome should not perish none of my warriors!

In Ravenna!

Hildebrandt, my sword.

I worry about my kingdom.

People should know

What is my kingdom will forever be one.

The heir to my throne ... I ….

The king of Italy is dead.

Did you hear the last will of the king.

Kingdom is ready will remain indivisible.

Only one of his daughters may wear a crown.

I'm ready!

ROME

Theodoric was smart, fair and liberal ruler.

But he had one small disadvantage: lived too long.

We will get rid of his heirs.

Now we can destroy the barbarians. Let's attack the garrison ready.

And this is our main task.

Free Rome.

Rome.

-Rome. -Rome. -Rome.

I'm a legitimate heir the throne is ready.

And never from the throne will not give up.

I don't intend either abandon it.

Royal council too has the right to decide.

He will not declare you queen can you believe me

Board members are my friends.

And none of them dare challenge my right to the throne.

I want to warn you

And with the best of intentions, my dear Matasvinta,

If you are for me and my people one day you will become dangerous

And I can maybe forget, what are you my sister

King Theodoric is not yet interred

And his daughters are already arguing who of them will ascend to the throne.

I gathered you in order make you swear to me

That the kingdom is ready to remain indivisible now and forever.

For this, we vouch for our lives.

Then let's swear.

We vow to sacrifice everything what we have:

home, wife, children, body and life itself.

All for the sake of happiness is ready.

Let us swear on the sword of Theodoric.

I swear .. I swear .. I swear ..

BYZANTIA

I'd rather see you your enemy, dear Tseteg.

You mentioned common interests ...

We are talking only about one thing. for both of us: about Rome.

Oh, you are very vengeful, my dear tseteg.

If I said no, I would deceive myself.

That's for sure. I will not deny it.

I do not like the banner ready.

It is already too long flies over Rome.

I think the banner of the emperor would have looked much better there.

It would, no doubt, very aesthetic sight.

I beg...

Tell me, dear Tseteg,

What do all these conversations mean? about flying banners?

This means that only one banner must fly over the Capitol.

Roman

My dream can come true.

Go to Rome as a liberator and as my enemy, my general.

Oh oh Very tempting offer.

The struggle for Rome, Narses, - this is an agreement only between us.

My plan is to This case is slightly accelerated.

More precisely, the emperor should consider your offer.

Here I would like with you totally agree.

You are the emperor of Byzantium, general.

Hmm .. except favorites of the empress is ready.

But tell me what is your the next step in the field of diplomacy?

We will allow Empress Theodore convince us

That Byzantium will be lost, if the goths still linger in Rome.

Besides, you can call the queen

keen interest to the Byzantine expanses.

In the art of convincing - I am a specialist.

Uh, this is so, Roman.

I will participate in this.

I do not want to be a bore.

I accept you so late

but our first meeting time was the same.

Mark Julius Tseteg,

Let me greet you General Belisarius.

Glad to see you in good health.

The same thing he said to me.

My emperor,

I believe that Byzantium and Rome equal in importance.

What?

I'm sure it is very soon over.

I think it will deliver great pleasure.

Do you really think so, general?

The general does not think, he knows.

This roman has a special gift to convince.

Seems to be yes.

Long live the queen is ready!

Long live Queen of Amalasinth!

.. Long live Queen Amalasvinta! ..

Hildebrandt, I have not seen his sister at the coronation.

Give her time, queen.

Ok, I'll give it to her, but only until tonight

Before the official coronation, and no longer.

You understood me?

Yes, the queen.

Princess Matasvinta, I came by the order of the queen.

For me, she is not a queen!

She stole my crown!

You, Count Vitihis, too on her side.

I have one wish: the kingdom ready not to fall.

Nothing else no need, princess.

So you can use power to repair iniquity.

What does my sister want from me?

You weren't at the coronation, and it hurt her.

Coronation dinner is about to begin,

And you must be present.

I will not let her humiliate myself.

You do not have to tempt fate.

Woman hard rule the kingdom.

You are not made for men's affairs,

You are born for love, princess.

Do you really so think Vitihis?

Yes, Matasvinta.

I believe you.

For love woman can give up everything.

From the opportunity to become queen, from all plans.

Love is power.

Let me accompany you.

Festive dinner will begin soon.

- Reverend father. - God bless you.

Greetings, Belisarius.

Are you in Ravenna for long?

How much will it count fit my empress.

I hope in this empress You will find a worthy patronage.

If you find Byzantium not comfortable enough

I am convinced of this.

Good answer my friend.

Does he know where should he shoot?

Those who come from faraway countries,

so with us celebrate our coronation.

We deeply thank you for it.

The crown that I wear is heavy.

I am a woman and should perform the duties of men.

And I can only if I can count on your help.

No real man will not refuse you this.

Thank you, Prince Furies.

I know that in Corsica men respect women.

Your words gave me confidence.

But whom I'm most confident in so it is in my sister,

princess blood.

I am not reproached I do not broadcast any orders to you.

Too i know that heart your noble is full

Good intentions: you think alike with me.

How dare you talk like that with our queen?

I just took the liberty quote Homer ...

“Iliad”, second song, verse eightieth.

It is dedicated to you

A queen like you, Amalasvinta.

You quote Homer very nicely.

Let's drink for the health of the queen!

Let there be peace during your reign.

For years, the queen is ready!

-Hildebrandt. -We will find him, queen,

Do not worry, we will find him ...

Quickly to the gate!

Take the traitor!

Here! Here!

Avid, go ahead otherwise they will catch you.

Friends, it was an attempt on me, the queen's friend.

He had no reason hate you

What did the robber want? ..

It is because I am a friend of the queen.

We have common goals and therefore common enemies.

Tell me, Tseteg, Who are our enemies?

Here you can speak calmly, Tseteg.

The attempt was on me like a roman

Because I was your father's friend.

He was also a friend of Justinian.

He was bound to him by contract, and this nothing to do with friendship.

Your father loved Rome.

Rome can not be not to love.

Byzantium is afraid that you he might like it too.

Byzantium?

She does not trust the heart of a woman.

I want to rule like a real king.

That I am a woman does not mean anything.

The fact that you are a woman your advantage

You just conquered Rome .. and me.

You're telling the truth?

Stay forever at your disposal.

You opened my eyes thank you my friend.

Her disobedience is it is a betrayal.

Even if you you don't believe in it, Tseteg.

Valet!

I am serving today, my queen.

Call the guard and follow me.

Who's there?

Your queen I want to talk to you.

But I do not want to talk to you.

I order you to open the door.

You underestimate wisdom of the queen.

Do you love someone else?

I warn you last time.

I have already been warned.

You heard. I tried to reason with her.

Your servants and guards, princess, received strict instructions.

Do not try to persuade them to your side.

What is your name, girl?

She comes from another country and does not understand you.

The queen personally chose her.

Hurry, old man. The stench of water is unbearable.

This is the breath of death, my friend.

Shut your mouth, old man.

Aspa my sister bitterly regret it.

I swear it to you.

An hour of revenge will come.

Then everything will be in my power ...

You convinced us in his devotion

Provided evidence that helped wise advice.

Let me do it help you my queen

Not agreeing it first with royal advice?

On the battlefield or on the streets of Rome.

These are peaceful streets, dear Duke.

Wait!

It was a great honor for me - walk with you, Tseteg.

Romans appreciate friends, Prince Furies.

Especially if they command a country like Corsica.

Roman bows they value more.

Do you really think so?

I am convinced of it.

A spear, of course, a good weapon,

But not when it comes to accurate hitting the distance ..

You can not overtake the goal and still get to the point.

Shared secret can become the foundation of a strong alliance.

I offer you friendship, your country and your fleet.

And when it comes time for action

It can both of us. come in handy. I promise you.

Avid!

I give you this man as proof of my friendship.

You will serve Prince Fury as loyal as me.

- I thank you, Roman. - Be healthy, my friend!

Look how elegant the pattern is, mrs.

This is a fine Byzantine work.

-Very beautiful. -Sumptuously.

He is coming back! Hold on, Totila!

My gratitude has no limits.

I have enough of your smile.

How modest. You deserve much more than a smile.

I heard happened accident.

What's up with Julia? Is she hurt?

Don't worry nothing terrible did not happen.

She was saved. You have not reported, sir?

His smile was so bright like gold in the sun.

Such a feeling that you are in love, madam.

My poor girl!

I'm not a poor girl, father. I feel great.

You were threatened with death, Julia.

No, father. A young man saved me.

He was tall, slim, beautiful with blond hair.

And he smiled all the time.

I was so afraid, and he was all the time just smiled.

I am glad that our young Roman possesses not only courage

-But a sense of humor. - It was not a Roman.

Who is goth? - I don't know that, father.

But I think not. Not.

Yeah, I think this brave young

the man managed to win not just a lion. -Well, father!

-Do you know at least What's his name? -Not!

It's a pity! I would like to thank him personally

for the service rendered to them.

Yes, father! That would be great.

But now you must for the time being to forget your hero.

We have to talk with our guest.

This is the ambassador in Rome Queen of Amalasvinta.

And it is very important that both of us were very polite and helpful.

- Did you understand me, Julia? - Yes, father.

The Duke of Dacia has arrived. He is waiting in the garden.

Come back later, Julia.

I thought there is nothing more beautiful than Rome

But I see that I was wrong.

My daughter is a little embarrassed, duke.

To this kind of gothic she was not used to compliments.

When we say these words, they come from the heart.

Well said, duke.

I heard that Queen Amalasvinta Very beautiful woman.

For the first time in my life I commit betrayal

in relation to his queen.

Daughter of the prefect of rome much more beautiful.

I'm afraid I can not stop the denunciation the queen about this betrayal.

I am ready to provide for this my fastest horse

How she kept well!

She really a born diplomat.

It is just a gift from the gods.

And we use it.

You shouldn't lower with her eyes, Zafak.

Is my lady in danger?

I do not think, but should be sure of her safety.

Friends we have to discuss something important.

I watched the work Romans on the trees.

They are moving fast. Suspiciously fast.

And you should keep an eye with the troops of the prefect.

It feels like the prefect wants his personal security

turn into small personal army.

Can you say how strong are the praetorians?

Queen allowed to increase his guards up to four hundred people.

But Tseteg is gaining all new and new.

- Does Totila know about that? -Totil?

He lost his heart too and your head.

Everything is going very well my friends.

Work on the shafts authorized officially.

This is a great disguise. for our other plans.

Underground fortifications that none of the ready will see.

Count Thea and Prince Thorys intently watching our work.

- They are dangerous. What about Duke Totila?

Duke Totila is enjoying the hospitality of my daughter.

Stupid barbarians still do not know what is "roman hospitality".

Yes, and about smart Romans also not heard.

And tomorrow we will organize for our friends hunt.

Good idea!

I don't see something my daughter and duke Dacia.

Find them, Zefak. We will be here. Quickly.

Will be done.

Here, my friends.

We will wait here.

Zafak is angry all the time.

He is the most faithful servant of my father, and mine too.

No, Julia. I would like to wear this title.

How amazing. And the birds are humming most favorite name.

Do you hear that too, Totila?

Here they need to break This is magic.

Ah, they are already late. Happiness of two can not destroy anyone.

Julia, I want so that they know it.

I want the whole world to know it.

Totila! Do not forget, I am the daughter of a Roman.

I'm afraid at any moment between we may have a misunderstanding.

I do not want politics ruined our love.

What do we do?

What do all lovers do.

How could he in my Presence kill animals?

I am delighted, Duke.

A few words of the daughter of the prefect brings me more

Thousands of trophies from the hunt.

Or maybe since as left Ravenna,

Have you forgotten how to throw a spear?

I did not see such a throw not one Roman.

We should be happy to host such an ambassador.

How can a girl on the service of Rome to rule us?

Amarasinta will never give up throne without a fight.

She has strong friends. Guntares, for example.

It means war. Brother against brother.

For our kingdom is unacceptable

When the queen gives the Roman the right to freedom of armament.

Today is a Roman, and tomorrow is a Byzantine?

You will go at dawn. That's an order!

I swore allegiance to the queen.

This is not about her personality.

Could you recognize their voices?

Yes, one for sure, a prefect.

This is the voice of the commandant ready.

Several times he addressed by name to another.

That name was Totila.

- Zefax, - I'm listening.

I need 20 people dressed as gangsters

The fastest horses and light weapons.

We set off tonight.

I have to be in Ravenna before what will the royal council meet?

I will help Matasvinte become a queen ready.

Because if the royal council

wants to overthrow the queen from the throne,

Rome's duty to do it before them.

But the queen did not cause us inconvenience.

Matasvinta too this will not do.

With one shot I will kill two birds with one stone:

crown Matasvintu and eliminate the royal council.

Nice plan .. And the case for this convenient ..

Why do you need to leave?

That's an order. I have to leave at dawn.

When will you be back? When will I see you again?

I hope soon.

Reason for your departure - my father?

Please, Julia. Do not ask questions.

But why not? I want to know, what's happening.

I thought you loved me.

I love you the most, Julia.

I can not live without you.

Is Julia sleeping already?

No, sir, she is in the garden.

Now? At this hour?

The evening is so warm, sir. I'll call her.

No, I'll call her myself.

No, I will not forget you.

I will go and talk to him.

No, not now and not here. Talk on return.

Now go, my love. And give know about yourself as soon as you return.

Did you call me father?

Yes. Who were you in the garden with?

"With Totila?" -Yes. He must leave early tomorrow morning.

He told me that he loves me and asked him to wait.

Vitihis, Atalvin, finish! Lunch is ready!

We are going. Come on, son.

Can I hit your muscles?

Ah well? I will show you how strong I am.

Let me go, dad.

I beg you, Vitihis. Don't let they take you away again.

I salute you, Count Vitihis and your wife, Ratgundu.

We need to discuss something important.

Greetings, Totila. We are already waiting for you.

Greetings!

Wait! You hide there opposite.

Royal council can drive only here.

Deal with them.

Then I will go alone. Forward!

Tseteg ?! What are you doing in Ravenna?

And why did you enter without a report?

Because there was no one there to report about me.

Where is my valet?

-Gone. -Hildebrant, Theia, Aligern?

-Also left. Everybody left. -And where?

They went to Vitihis, and meet there with totila.

All royal advice from Vitihisa? And why?

To proclaim queen your sister

So. They are all against me. Is it really all?

We have to delay them on the road to ravenna.

Part of my warriors waiting for us under the city.

You think I will allow your people dealt with the royal council?

They betrayed you and for that must die.

But this is a mean murder, Tseteg.

For a noble cause, my queen.

To save your life

and your throne, Amalasinthus.

Do what you see fit Tseteg.

The queen must give the order.

I entrust you to resolve this issue.

Then the queen must come with us.

With the romans?

There are no ready with whom you could go.

Or do you want here stay alone?

Take me with you, Dad!

You should stay here and take care of mom.

Goodbye, son. Goodbye Rathgunda.

Is the queen upset? -I look like a refugee, I feel ashamed.

No need to be ashamed. We are in the same position

And we have a good reason to be cautious.

They have to go on the water.

Here that place is great suitable for attack.

I want to go back to Ravenna.

Too late! They are coming! Here!

Let's!

They leave, Tseteg.

Now you have left only one place

Where can you go. Bolsen Island.

Do you mean, to my sister Mathasvinte?

Do not worry.

She always hated a queen but not a sister.

You think i let myself depend on her grace?

You have to put up with it.

- Zafak will accompany you. -Not you?!

I will go forward and talk to your sister.

And you expect news from me. Your life depends on it.

I remember that time when you were a kid.

You talked with pleasure about an African pony.

Once your father pointed at you and said to me

“This is Matasvinta.

The future queen is ready.

Promise you will protect her, my friend. "

But he called my sister heir to the throne.

But not by name.

Your father before death almost blind and didn't know

which documents he signs.

Fake documents where was my sister's name?

Now you will the legitimate queen.

And I am the first to swear to you in loyalty.

Where is she?

She is on the shore and waiting for your decision.

She arrived, just like me,

to swear his queen allegiance.

Let her come.

Where are you, Tseteg?

My mission is over.

You must go to your sister

And I have to go back to Rome. Zafak, we're going to Rome!

You can scream even louder. Nobody will help you anyway.

Your Tseteg on the way to Rome.

I did not have intent on killing you

I would never kill you. Believe me!

That you believe me I waited a long time for this day.

And you would have entered with me just the same

if you had the courage.

Ok, kill me.

And pray for absolution of your sin

I will pray for you and do it is my pleasure, sister.

My poor sister.

Why did you leave me when Are we just regaining each other?

As soon as we arrive at Rovenna,

I will take the throne like my sister's heir.

The Royal Council must inform people i'm a new queen.

- Then I offer Totil. -Not. I am too young.

Damn Roman, can you go on?

I am bleeding and can not more.

You must pass the message of Matasvinta.

Repeat it to me.

The royal council betrayed Mathasvinth.

Yes.

They chose Vitihisa king.

Matasvinta calls devotees ready for help.

Yes. Hurry up. And do not forget.

This message is personal for Prince Guntaris.

Guntaris! It is done.

Find son Vitihisa. We leave Guntaris.

Take your son with you Vitihisa as a hostage.

Atalvin!

Where are you, Atalvin?

Gracious Mrs. To you was a guest from Rome.

Is the chain? -Yes!

Add a few drops, Sylvia, in my cream.

Come in.

This time you came much faster, tseteg.

And only persecuted thought to see you.

I love men in whose mouths

the most incomprehensible lie sounds like the truth.

You are becoming more beautiful.

Do you want with me about your victory over the goths talk, right?

Prince Guntaris against Vitihisa.

Clever Roman.

And you think that this moment has come.

This moment always comes when i have you

I think to send my army to italy.

Politics is the second thing.

Maybe in order, but not by its meaning.

Theodora.

I do not want to torment you for a long time.

About the open spaces of Italy already taken care of.

But the commandant is not your friend Narzes, and my friend Belisarius.

None of your friends does not remain without reward.

Except me, I think.

Belisarius has one advantage.

He is always here.

We are sending Byzantine army in Rome.

Under command General Belisarius.

At my personal request.

Our empress gut instinct

In assessing the abilities of men.

This is one of its features.

I am glad that my words you are so much fun.

Your kind Byzantine friend gave me real pleasure.

I want to assure you, Tseteg, I do not need the post of commander.

And you want so I believe it?

Yes. All the difficulties involved with the beginning of the case, I will give Belisarius.

This great warrior, winner and strategist

Great general. But he can not cope with their task.

And then there will be Narzes. Do you understand?

Invisible hero of the world, master manipulation

and then this war will enter into history.

ABOUT! Wonderful aroma.

This is my favorite dish.

You know, my heart beats in the name Roman Empire, Tseteg.

But my stomach remains Armenian.

A woman in a camp? What does she want?

I do not know, my king.

She stands there in front of the tent.

Then take her from here to the guard.

She relayed this to you sir

-Bring her fast. - All right, sir.

-Vithihis. -My lovely.

I thought I already have you never see again.

Atalvin!

Atalvin?

What is with Atalvin? What happened?

Guntaris burned our house. And Atalvin was gone.

He is alive. Probably, they took him hostage.

Guntaris is a stern warrior, but he does not kill children, believe me.

May the Lord hear your words!

You must believe, love.

And now you need get out of here, Rathgunda.

Battlefield - not a place for a woman.

But this is not because of Matasvinta, which is now next to guntaris?

Just because she wants to be a queen.

But you don't need think about it, Ratgunda,

My queen is you.

What are we waiting for? Why don't we start the battle?

The battle will be short and Vitihis will be defeated.

I'm not so sure about that.

I know him from childhood. He is a brave soldier.

I only want to defeat him, but he must stay alive.

And he will, perhaps my best commander.

Send him a message. I want to meet him on the battle line.

We have to tell her that I already have a wife.

Did you think well, Vitihis?

Your failure will mean for us war.

Then we have nothing left other how to fight.

Not!

You want to start fratricidal war?

I do not want to blood was spilled from me.

I can't forgive myself for this.

You are free, Vitihis.

Do you want, so I married her?

If only I stay the only one you love.

And there is. You will remain her forever.

No I can not.

What else? Speak!

Belisarius entered Italy.

So, Byzantium and Rome united.

Most suitable moment for Tsetega.

- He always dreamed to embroil us. - But he will not succeed.

Now we must be one, or we lose everything.

Only you can help us, only you alone

Listen to them, my king. And do not think about me.

I give you freedom but forever will be your wife.

Good start. Three battles lost.

I lead an army of fugitives and cowards.

Look at them! And these are soldiers?

My general,

On the sunken ships was

food for five thousand soldiers.

Then take provisions from the Italians.

They have enough of everything. Take what you need.

- But my general ... -That's an order!

This is all the machinations of Narses.

Behind the back of a big a roman stands gnarled gnome.

But whose shadow like a giant, Belisarius.

Do you want a victory over italy give your master Narses?

When you, Vitihis, thinking about starting a battle?

Belisarius’s army was very tired. We have to use it.

In the way they caught a storm. His soldiers are sick and weak.

- They don't have the strength to move. -So, we must strike now.

All forward-yo-yod!

Goths marching on Rome, and you still think about Totil.

-Forget him. -I cant.

You must, Julia.

He is a brave soldier.

And brave soldiers are usually die first.

Then I will pray for his life day and night.

Save yours prayers for rome.

We need them.

Victorians!

Get ready!

They are too far from each other stretched out.

If they expected frontal the attack is then mistaken.

For the queen is very it's dangerous to be here.

You're right. Order to deliver it in a safe place.

Alagard, deliver queen in a safe place.

Our general is regrettable.

Apparently, he will be defeated.

Forward to the victory! Follow me!

Open the gate for us !! Open the gate!

Stop and fight!

Belisarius is defeated! Victory is ours!

My brave Belisarius.

We mourn your death and we swear not to forget it.

Our friend and brother in arms put his life defending Rome.

Pride and sorrow fill our soul - in memory of him.

Now the next step is the hardest is the battle for Rome.

ROME!!!

End of the first part
