Epilogue



Tactician Present

Hector:
“Oh, Mark! You made it! Come, relax! …What? You came to say good-bye? I haven’t seen you in so long, and you’re leaving? Hm? Oh, you heard, too? Now that word of my brother’s death has spread, the throne can’t be left empty forever. Being the leader of all Lycia doesn’t really suit me… My brother let me play around for quite a while. If I don’t grow up soon, my brother won’t be able to rest. The burdens Uther carried as Marquess Ostia, his feelings for the citizenry of Ostia and all of Lycia… I’ll succeed him at everything. Easy to say, but I’m sure it’s going to be difficult.”

(Hector and Florina A support together)

Florina:
“Lord Hector… Ah… Mark… It’s nice to see you again.”

Hector:
“Ah, but Mark’s not here for long though. Some friend, eh?”

Florina:
“Is… Is that so? Ah… Uh, Mark… I… We…”

Hector:
“Oh, out with it! I’ll ask for you. Just say it.”

Florina:
“O-OK… That’s not…”

Hector:
“Listen, Mark. We’ve got a favor to ask of you. This may seem somewhat premature, but would you be our first child’s godparent?”

Florina:
“P-Please… He-Hector and I… We would never have met were it not for you, Mark.”

Hector:
“If it’s a boy, we’re going to name him Uther, after my brother. I’ll teach him how to fight and raise him to be a strong man. We’ll pit him against Eliwood’s son to see who’s the strongest.”

Florina:
“Um… So, Mark… If it’s a girl…”

(Hector and Lyn A support together)

Lyn:
“Hector…Well if it isn’t Mark! It’s been a long time.”

Hector:
“Ah, but Mark’s not here for long though “Some friend, eh?”

Lyn:
“Oh… That’s too bad. Oh yes, Mark! We’ve a favor to ask of you. It’s a little bit premature, but… Would you be our first child’s godparent? You are the patron to our romance after all.”

Hector:
“Name? We’ve already decided on that. We’re going to name him Uther after my brother. …I beg your pardon? “What if it’s a girl?” It’s my child. It will be a boy! We’ll pit him against Eliwood’s son to see who’s the strongest.”

Lyn:
“This is all he ever talks about. Honestly, I don’t know if he’ll ever grow up. So, Mark, if it is a girl…”

(Hector and Farina A support together)

Farina:
“Lord Hector… Oh, is that you, Mark? Wow! It’s been such a long time!”

Hector:
“Right? But Mark’s not here for long though. Some friend, eh?”

Farina:
“Hmm… Is that true? Oh yes, Mark! We’ve a favor to ask. It may seem a little premature, but would you be our first child’s godparent? I mean if you hadn’t insisted, Hector might not have hired me. If you think about it, we owe everything to you, Mark.”

Hector:
“Name? We’ve already decided on that. We’re going to name him Uther after my brother. …I beg your pardon? “What if it’s a girl?” It’s my child. It will be a boy! We’ll pit him against Eliwood’s son to see who’s the strongest.”

Farina:
“Did you get that, Mark? I would like to have a girl, of course. Now, if we do have a girl…”

Hector:
“Are you leaving? Say, Mark, do you remember Athos’s final words? I sealed Armads away, like it used to be, but… I can still feel its power pulsing inside me. War is coming. Someday, a terrible war… When that day comes… I want you to be there when that day comes. I want you to guide my children and me.”

Hector:
“We’ll meet again. I’m sure of it!”

Tactician Absent

Hector:
“Hey, Eliwood! You made it.”

Eliwood:
“I would never turn down an invitation from you. So, are you ready? You once told me being the leader of Lycia wasn’t for you.”

Hector:
“Well…yes. Now that word of my brother’s death has spread, the throne can’t be left empty forever. My brother let me play around for quite a while. If I don’t grow up soon, he may start screaming at me from the grave.”

Eliwood:
“Ha ha! You’re probably right.”

Hector:
“The burdens Uther carried as Marquess Ostia, his feelings for the citizenry of Ostia and all of Lycia… I’ll succeed him at everything. Easy to say, but I’m sure it’s going to be difficult.”

(Hector and Lyn A support together)

Lyn:
“Hector… Well, if it isn’t Eliwood!”

Eliwood:
“Well met, Lyndis. You’ve grown even more fair than when I saw you last.”

Lyn:
“Oh… Did you hear that, Hector. That’s the biggest difference between you and Eliwood.”

Hector:
“Give me a break.”

Eliwood:
“Hector may not say it, but more than anyone else, that is what he thinks. Isn’t that so, Hector?”

Lyn:
“Really?”

Hector:
“Eliwood! You…”

(Hector and Farina A support together)

Farina:
“Lord Hector… Hm? Is that you, Lord Eliwood? Wah! It’s been such a very long time!”

Eliwood:
“Nice to see you again, Farina. We didn’t have too many chances to talk during our journey, but…”

Farina:
“That’s true.”

Hector:
“Well, you’ll have plenty of opportunity from now on. Let me introduce you… This here’s the 20,000 gold woman.”

Eliwood:
“Huh?”

Farina:
“Hold it! Are you still angry about that? That was a reasonable sum, and it included hazard pay!”

Eliwood:
“Hm?”

(Hector and Florina A support together)

Florina:
“Lord Hector… Ah… Lord Eliwood… It’s, um, nice to see you again.”

Eliwood:
“Hello, Florina. Have you grown used to life here in Ostia?”

Florina:
“Yes, yes…”

Hector:
“Truly? You still get tongue-tied in front of crowds.”

Florina:
“Ye-Yes…”

Hector:
“As the wife of Marquess Ostia, you must be able to speak in public. That has me somewhat worried.”

Florina:
“I-I’m sorry… I’ll…do…better… Sniff…”

Hector:
“OK! OK! I understand, so don’t cry! It’s all my fault! Please!”

Florina:
“OK…”

Oswin:
“I beg your pardon. Lord Hector, shall we?”

Hector:
“Yeah, OK. :Say, Eliwood, do you remember old Athos Graybeard’s final words?”

Eliwood:
“Of course.”

Hector:
“I sealed Armads away, like it used to be, but… I can still feel its power pulsing inside me. War is coming. Someday, a terrible war… When that day comes…”

Eliwood:
“Mm, I understand. When it comes, we’ll fight together. For our future and for our children’s.”
