**Scene 66 – "Planet Sai"**
*A serious conversation takes place between the planet's ruler and his advisor. Let us follow…*
**Advisor:** "The planet's interests remain our priority…
Captain Lagoon has eliminated the army commander… and we had many who were qualified to replace him…
But instead of doing that… we chased after a warrior everyone knows how dangerous he is, how intelligent, and how skilled…
And we dragged all our forces behind him to a planet I need not remind you which planet it is…
My apologies, Your Highness… I've said what I have to say, and you may do with me as you wish for my boldness and honesty."
**Ruler** *(regretfully):* "You are right… I caused the destruction of all our forces merely for the sake of revenge…
And I left the planet without defenses…"
**Advisor:** "Captain Lagoon defended himself… the army commander nearly killed him."
**Ruler:** "Captain Lagoon is owed a debt by us, for developing this planet…
As for the army commander… he was my heir to rule the planet."
*The advisor is shocked.*
The ruler continues: "He was my nephew, yes."
*The advisor is shocked again.*
The ruler continues: "I considered him a son after my brother was killed facing monsters coming from the heart of the galaxy…
And no one knows my relation to the army commander…
I treated him like everyone else to protect him from those coveting the throne… but he was always reckless…
Lagoon, however, was different… and he is to be credited for constructing the planet's defenses against storms, monsters, and invaders…
This planet is a trust left to me by Commander Sai… He entrusted me with protecting it, but I yielded to my emotions."
