Vlad Tepes Page #2

---

But be aware, it has 2 blades.

If you are a good man, don't be afraid.

If you're not, your head will fall first.

Too many strange things in one day.

But one has put an end to everything.

We have gone into battle with a prince

and returned with another

whom nobody wanted.

He had hardly been on the throne

when he started to make bad decisions.

He is like a foal

harnessed for the first time

kicking and neighing.

This will last for a little while...

but he will get used to the harness,

the carriage and the coachmen.

Highway robbery.

They have stolen a few bales.

What did the guards do?

Exactly what they are doing right now.

We should have doubled the guards.

Here all the roads are insecure.

Bloody country!

We have been looking

for you for an hour.

You taught me when I was a child

to get out at dawn,

and see how life and the country awake.

So early? Alone and without guards?

Without telling anyone?

Knowing full well

how dangerous this is?

What shall I do if this

is the lord's order?

Am I not supposed to obey?

Where are the councillors?

They come at noon, Your Highness.

This is the custom.

The custom?

Take the palace guards

and go get them.

Three German merchants from Brasov

want to see Your Highness.

They are waiting in the Chancellery.

- Are you a merchant or a captain?

- The roads are insecure, Your Highness,

haunted by all kinds of dawdlers.

They beg during the day and steal at night.

Last night they killed a servant and stole

some Turkish fabric and expensive cloths.

Four packs, Your Highness.

Ransack Targoviste and its surroundings.

Get the robbers.

You will get back all that

has been taken from you.

Take the merchants of Brasov a letter

to strengthen their privileges,

so that you can pass through

Wallachia without problems,

towards the villages along the Danube.

The same for our merchants

towards Brasov or other places.

This country has to grow very fast

in order to be like other countries.

And you come at noon?

First your head and then the rest?

It is not your country, boyars.

You belong to this country.

And me as well,

I belong to this country.

One says Ladislau of Hungary,

not Hungary of Ladislau,

Kazimir of Poland,

not Poland of Kazimir.

If it weren't this way, the countries

would perish with their lords,

and with their boyars.

What happened, Your Highness?

Nothing happened.

This is a normal working day.

I want us to discuss

the country's business,

see what is to be done and do it.

The Turks rob near Giurgiu.

There was no agreement about

the borders of Turkish counties.

In this way began all robberies

in past years, from Giurgiu.

After that, they spread

across the Danube, to Braila.
