Siegfried Kircheis arrives at Geiersburg Fortress. He has an argument with Reinhard von Lohengramm about the handling of the Westerland Massacre.

Reinhard then receives some prisoners-of-war from the Lippstadt League; Adalbert von Fahrenheit joins Reinhard's admiralty. Ansbach comes in with Otho von Braunschweig's coffin, takes out a weapon concealed in the coffin and aims at Reinhard....
