:09:00
I thank the noble Lord.
:09:02
For your glory, Your Majesty,
I return to the wars with fresh courage.

:09:13
You have all spoken:
:09:15
You, my Nobles...
:09:17
you, my gallant General...
:09:19
you, my Archbishop...
:09:21
and you, my hero cousin.
:09:24
I have heard all your voices.
:09:27
But what of the peasants?
:09:29
You peasants have fought this war.
:09:32
What have you to say?
:09:37
Will you not speak, father?
:09:42
What is there for us to say, Your Majesty?
:09:45
Unbeknownst to us, the war is started
and we are sent, and we go.

:09:51
You shall go no longer!
:09:54
There are other things
to live for than wars!

:09:57
I have had enough of them.
:09:59
We have been fighting since I was
in the cradle and many years before.

:10:02
It is enough.
:10:04
I shall ask the powers to meet
for a speedy and honorable peace.

:10:07
There must be an end!
:10:13
What? Peace now? After such a victory?
:10:17
We have these heretics by the throat.
:10:19
Let us have them on their knees.
:10:20
Will you slaughter all of contrary faith,
Archbishop?

:10:23
You are too ambitious.
:10:25
But, Your Majesty,
if the enemy refuses to accept our terms?

:10:28
Offer them terms they will accept.
:10:30
Your father, the King, must be avenged!
:10:33
Not avenged, My Lord, justified!
:10:36
He must be justified!
:10:37
We must have compensation
for our soldiers.

:10:40
20 million thalers!
:10:41
30 million!
:10:42
I will take their last thaler!
:10:44
The world rings with the fame
of our armies!

:10:46
And we shall win still greater glories
for Sweden.
