Ostia Castle

Hector:
“Thanks for coming, Eliwood!”

Eliwood:
“Hector! Long time, no see!”

Hector:
“First time since my brother’s funeral–fifteen years now. And look at us. We’ve both grown older, haven’t we?”

Eliwood:
“Uh-huh. Time certainly does speed right by. My father’s disappearance… his death…the fight with Nergal… those fire dragons… The memories are so vivid, it might have happened yesterday.”

Hector:
“Nergal… What a blackheart he was. I’ve had enough of battles like that. Hm? Is that your son over there?”

Eliwood:
“I’ve been wanting to introduce you, but there’s been no chance. Roy! Come here!”

Roy:
“Did you need something, Father?”

Eliwood:
“Say hello to Marquess Ostia!”

Roy:
“Ye-Yes, sir! A pleasure to meet you, Lord Hector. My name is Roy.”

Hector:
“Roy, is it? Nice to meet you, lad. Well, I guess that means I should introduce my daughter then! Lilina!”

Lilina:
“……”

Hector:
“What? Are you being shy? You don’t have to be nervous. This is your father’s old friend and his son.”

Lilina:
“……”

Eliwood:
“Hello, Lilina. This is Roy. He’s the same age as you.”

Lilina:
“Nice to meet you.”

Roy:
“Lilina? Let’s be friends. We can play over there.”

Lilina:
“……”

Hector:
“It’s OK. Go on.”

Lilina:
“Ah!”

Eliwood:
“What a cute child. Good thing she took after her mother.”

Hector:
“What? She looks just like me, doesn’t she?”

Eliwood:
“You’re a sarcastic one, Marquess Ostia!”

Hector:
“Come on, now you’re the one putting on airs, Marquess Pherae!”

Eliwood:
“Ha ha ha ha! The only thing older about you is your appearance. Don’t tell me you still behave like that even now that you’re the marquess!”

Hector:
“I’m always on top of my duties as marquess. But when I’m around you, I want to relax, so, please…”

Eliwood:
“Hector… By the way, I heard that the king of Bern died. It was fairly sudden, too.”

Hector:
“I can’t be certain, but according to one of our spies, he was killed in an assassination attempt on Prince Zephiel.”

Eliwood:
“The prince? I trust he was unharmed.”

Hector:
“It’s a strange tale… At first, I’d heard that the prince was killed. Then new information came three days later saying that it was the king who had died.”

Eliwood:
“Do you remember Archsage Athos’s prediction? Is something happening in Bern?”

Hector:
“I don’t know.”

Lilina:
“Father! Can I show Roy my pony?”

Hector:
“Yes, go ahead. Be careful!”

Lilina:
“OK!”

Hector:
“For the sake of our children’s futures, I’ll stop anything that may happen. I’ll sacrifice my life to make it so.”

Eliwood:
“”Once again, Lycia brings hope.” …If that turns out to be wrong? No. It must happen…”

Bern Keep

Enigmatic Man:
“For what reason have you awakened a demon dragon?”

Zephiel:
“Who are you?”

Enigmatic Man:
“…Dragon.”
