The Three Dukes meet to discuss what to do about King Souma. In Amidonia, Gaius receives word from Georg accepting his aid, and prepares to invade Elfrieden over the objections of his finance minister. Souma delivers his ultimatum to the Three Dukes.
If you begin a war now,
the people will starve.
Wenn Ihr nun einen Krieg beginnt,
wird das Volk Hunger leiden!
Si inicia una guerra ahora,
la gente morirá de hambre.
Se começar uma guerra,
muitos morrerão de fome.
