careful. Jealous? Examination concluded. Take care. Kyra... Kyra! Thereґs a letter from a noble lady. She is waiting for you at court as soon as possible. - And who is this lady? - Okana. - How do you know what she wrote? - Mita taught me to read and write. Donґt tell anyone. It would be dangerous. Mita says itґs important to be able to read and write. Donґt you know what happens to people who can read? They are seized and taken to the Tower of Joy. lґm just a simple maidservant. Okana is better informed. People say that Reba often takes her with him to the interrogations. Thatґs made me think. lґII accept her invitation. My noble Rumata of Estoria. - How are your book burnings going? - A colossal task. Not all literate people are enemies of the Crown. Why get rid of them all? lґm a soldier but I know ideas are more dangerous than weapons. We want loyalty not intelligence. Thereґs a doctor from Irukan who is seriously bandying the idea that diseases come from tiny invisible animals living in us. From tiny invisible creatures! - Thatґs an ingenious idea! - Do you realise what it means? Tiny invisible animals living inside us would rule the world. An insult to the divine order... Forgive me. lґm sure the noble Rumata will understand. - Understand? - Theyґre about to leave. - Of course. - lґm ready. In his unstinting goodness, Reba is dispatching the grey soldiers so that they can steer the wayward farmers back on track. lґII sort out these good-for-nothings. TheyґII all be watching the soldiers. Coming to the pleasure garden? lґII wait for you there. How could a poor girl like me resist your attack? No one can command his heart. Mine beats violently in the company of the most beautiful woman in Arkanar. Come closer so I may enjoy the beating of your heart. The First Minister enjoys your favour too, - so please understand my hesitation. - Donґt be concerned, he only gets aroused when he hears the screams of the tortured. So he greatly appreciates it, if I accompany him. Be on your guard against him. You have access to the Tower of Joy... a renowned scholar has disappeared on the way to Arkanar. - Why are you telling me this? - I want to find him but the grey soldiers may have already seized him. Oh, so youґre here because you need my help. Yes. lґm very worried about this scholar. His name is Budach. I thought you desired me. Any other man would kiss my feet for a look from me. Men have forfeited their lives, losing their minds for a look from me. And you just want me to find this old scholar. You...you promised me things and then broke your promise. Youґre making fun of me. You misunderstand. Forgive me. I do desire you. Really? Show me you do. Take off your clothes. You can keep your boots on. Sorry, this is all new territory for me. Do you like it? Wait and youґII be thrilled. Take me. lґm yours. Theyґre like animals. Not like animals. Rumata! Rumata! Reba! Reba! The grey soldiers have surrounded the pleasure garden. - TheyґII be here any moment! - Go! Reba mustnґt see you here. lґII find your scholar if heґs in the tower. Thank you, noble Okana, but I donґt want to ask that of you. - lґII soon have done with Reba. - Theyґre at the door! - Can I contact you? - At the lower city inn. They know me. - Who can I talk to there? - Ask for Waga. I can trust him. - Heґs unconscious. - His protection is active. HeґII soon come round. Help us! Please, help me! Help us! What a pleasant surprise. What brings you here? - I just wanted to look around. - With pleasure. It would be an honour. - Do you know why theyґre screaming? - They wonґt tell the truth. And they regret it. Power stems from truth. Without truth you cannot govern. Would you like to scream like that too? lґd like to go now. Then you must tell me the truth. Who instructed you to come here?
