Your Majesty.
:05:20
The arrival of Prince Charles forced me
to summon Your Majesty.

:05:23
The Parliament is in session,
waiting to act on his victories.

:05:27
After 30 years of war, Sweden now has
the commanding place in Europe.

:05:31
Now is the time for new, definite actions.
:05:34
These I want to discuss with you.
:05:36
There will be enough discussion
in the Parliament.

:05:39
You have reports for me to sign,
my Lord Treasurer?

:05:41
I have them here, Your Majesty.
:05:44
Prince Charles' victory was crushing,
was it not, Chancellor?

:05:47
Complete, Your Majesty.
:05:49
Now would be a happy moment...
:05:50
to announce your betrothal
to Prince Charles.

:05:52
He returns a national hero.
:05:55
I look forward to Prince Charles' reception
in the Parliament.

:05:58
He will love it.
:06:00
I have heard of the enemy's losses.
:06:04
What were ours?
:06:06
10,000 men, 4,000 horses, 200 cannon.
:06:09
A few more victories like this...
:06:11
and we will have to hire foreigners
to fight our battles.

:06:14
In the end, the enemy will pay for it.
:06:16
In the meantime, it would be a good
moment to vote fresh monies for the war.

:06:20
The Lord Treasurer will tell Your Majesty
we need it.

:06:23
He doesn't have to tell me.
These reports tell me.

:06:26
This war is expensive.
:06:28
The Parliament clamors for more war.
:06:30
They clamor for a Swedish marriage
for Your Majesty.

:06:33
They clamor for an heir of Swedish blood.
:06:36
In short, Chancellor, they clamor.
:06:39
Here are your reports. This one I keep.
:06:42
Thank you, My Lords.
I shall see you in the Parliament.

:06:52
Your Majesty.
:06:54
Yes, Count Magnus.
