Disaster strikes, as a car comes out of nowhere and runs over the lot of them, and Henk stares in horror at the scene before him. Alfred then innocently walks up to him and asks "Where's mommy?

adds a lot to how heart-rending it is.Chess Queen: I've long dreamed to one day see the sun rise, and to be able to see it with my own eyes. How beautiful... - During a hectic journey at sea, Alfred is thrown overboard and sinks beneath the waves, apparently drowning.

Surreal and heart-breaking at the same time.

As his servant tearfully says "But Your Majesty...", Ferdinand simply says he doesn't have to call him that anymore, since he's no longer a King.
- In "The Decline And Fall Of Emperor Dolf", Dolf briefly visits Alfred. He says that he knows everything about the lost money and that Alfred was behind of it.

- In the Finnish dub Dolf yells bitterly "You will regret this!" when he leaves, highly implying that he will have his revenge on Alfred.
