Map Opening

After losing Agusty, King Shagaal moved his royal court north to Madino. Keeping his word with Eltshan, Sigurd did not pursue him.

While the troops rested at Agusty Castle, Sigurd worked to fulfill his promise to Eltshan.
He persisted in negotiations aimed to return administrative control back to Agusty.
However, the directive from Barhara to ‘maintain a presence’, and ‘govern the people’, never changed.

In a half year’s time, the officials dispatched to Agustria became exceedingly reckless, and began to abuse the power they were entrusted with.
The discontent of the Agustrian people slowly began to take root.
Before long, a new conflict arose giving Sigurd great cause for concern.

Shagaal had been arranging a military force at Madino poised to challenge Sigurd in an attempt to regain control of the capitol at Agusty.

Meanwhile the notorious Orgahil Pirates north of Madino positioned themselves to take advantage of the ensuing chaos.
Sigurd had strict orders from Barhara to hold Agusty Castle at any cost.
The ensuing conflict weighed heavily on Sigurd’s heart.
In addition, Eltshan had troops stationed at Silvail Fort southwest of Madino.

The battle on the horizon was gearing up to be a true test of one’s friendship and loyalty.
All of Sigurd’s attention was now focused on the looming threat at the northern reaches of Agustria… one that could very well change the course of history.

Opening

(Madino)

Shagaal:
“Are the troops ready? I don’t imagine they’re expecting us. Alright, prepare to advance. This is our last chance to take back Agusty! Look at them… making themselves at home in MY country! I can only be pushed so far. They’re going to pay dearly for this! Jacoban! Where’s my swordsman… Jacoban!?”

Jacoban:
“You called?”

Shagaal:
“We need a man of your caliber to hold the castle.”

Jacoban:
“Well, s’boring job, but the pay’s good. Anyone that gets in my face is gettin’ my Thunder Sword!”

Shagaal:
“That’s the spirit, Jacoban! We’re counting on you.”

Jacoban:
“Hmm… Eltshan’s in Silvail. I wonder what his next move’ll be…”

(Silvail)

Guard:
“Your Highness, Madino has positioned their troops for battle!”

Eltshan:
“What’s His Majesty’s rush!? Grr! Now I’ll have to postpone my return to the capital! Aaah… I can’t fight Sigurd. What to do… what to do…”

(Orgahill)

Dobarl:
“Cap’n, a war’s a brewin’ down south. T’is a mighty pretty sight, aye… I reckon th’ villages’ll be ours fer th’ takin’. We couldn’t lay a hand on ’em with th’ Agustrian army always ’round, but now it’ll be a cinch!”

Briggid:
“Dobarl, enough! I won’t allow any such nonsense! I’ve got a creed to uphold, and pilfering is no part of it. We Orgahill Pirates are known for giving to the poor, not taking from them!”

(Somewhere else in Orgahill)

Dobarl:
“Hell! Thar’s treasure sittin’ pret’y, an’ here we sit! The cap’n’s bein’ too damn strict!”

Pizarl:
“Dobarl, settle down, mate. I’ve got me a plan. That woman? She ain’t th’ late cap’n’s daughter, I’ll have ya know. The cap’n picked ‘er up when she was a wee lit’le t’ing and raised ‘er here on this island. But no one ‘as told ‘er. So she t’inks she’s runnin’ t’ings. T’is nothin’ t’worry ’bout, mate. Well, ‘nough said. Let’s go a treasure huntin’!”

(Agusty)

Oifey:
“Sir, we’ve got trouble! Shagaal has raised an army to siege us!”

Sigurd:
“Huh!? That’s ludicrous! We were just about to head home. Why attack us now? Eltshan… what in the world is going on…”

Oifey:
“And in the midst of all this, the Orgahill Pirates have begun to move.”

Sigurd:
“Really? Well, we’ve no choice. Prepare to attack!”

Diadora:
“You’re going back into combat, aren’t you…”

Sigurd:
“Yeah… I’m sorry, Diadora. But this time I can’t bring you along. Someone has to stay behind with our baby boy.”

Diadora:
“…Yes, I know.”

Sigurd:
“Diadora, don’t be so down… I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can! Shanan, help me out. I need you to look after Deirdre and Celice.”

Shanan:
“You got it! Don’t worry ’bout a thing. I won’t let a fly touch those two!”

Sigurd:
“Ha ha! Shanan, you’re the man. Diadora, I hope that’ll put you a bit at ease. Don’t you worry. This isn’t forever.”

Diadora:
“Sigurd…”

Talking to the Middle Silvail Border Guard

Guard:
“We’ve orders from King Eltshan to avoid battle. Pick up and leave at once!”

Conquering Madino

Oifey:
“Sir, we can’t find King Shagaal anywhere.”

Sigurd:
“Really? Maybe he escaped to Silvail. That’s where Eltshan is, anyway. Eltshan’s Cross Knights are all that’s left of Agustria’s military might… If they’d just lower their swords, this’d all be over with.”

(Claude and Tiltyu arrive Madino)

Oifey:
“Sir, Father Claude of Edda just arrived.”

Sigurd:
“What!? Father Claude? Bring him to me at once.”

Claude:
“Sir Sigurd, good to see you. I’ve come to… well, I’ve some horrible news from back home.”

Sigurd:
“Claude, what in the world happened?”

Claude:
“Someone murdered Prince Kurth while he was returning from the Isaac campaign.”

Sigurd:
“Somebody what!? Who would do such a thing?”

Claude:
“Well, Lord Vylon was always seen at Prince Kurth’s side. But since the murder, he’s disappeared. I hate to say this, but… There’s suspicion that your father committed the murder.”

Sigurd:
“What!? That’s inconceivable!”

Claude:
“There are all kinds of nasty rumours cropping up in Grandbell. The most prevalent one is that you and Lord Vylon conspired to kill the prince. His Majesty’s became so overwhelmed by it all that he’s fallen terribly ill.”

Sigurd:
“Kurth confided in my father for everything. What could my father gain from his death!? What about the two dukes who opposed the prince, Leptor and Langobalt? I’d suspect them.”

Claude:
“I also thought so, but there’s no evidence on either one of them. And the Leptor faction currently has control of the Royal Court.”

Sigurd:
“How about His Majesty’s aide, Lord Alvis? What does he make of all of this?”

Claude:
“I’m not sure. I don’t think he’s bitter towards you, but I can’t say he’s on your side either.”

Sigurd:
“Is that right? Geez… my poor father. Aagh! I wish I could go straight home, but I have orders from His Majesty to guard this area. Claude, what should I do?”

Claude:
“I’m currently on my way to Blagi Tower. It’s on the island just northwest of here. I’m of Blagi descent. If I pray at our holy tower, the truth will be revealed to me. I plan to tell His Majesty all my findings. Sir Sigurd, you’ve nothing to worry about.”

Tiltyu:
“Yo, Claude. Enough of your jabberin’. Let’s get movin’. I’m bored outta my wits.”

Sigurd:
“Hey, you’re Tiltyu from Freege, right? What’re you doing here with Father Claude?”

Tiltyu:
“I can’t have him wanderin’ around out here all alone. So I’m protectin’ him.”

Sigurd:
“…But you’re Duke Reptor’s daughter, right?”

Tiltyu:
“Look, all that fightin’ stuff’s beyond me. Besides, I’m in love with the priest, you see!”

Claude:
“I’m at a loss with this child… Well, once I know the truth, I’ll rendezvous with your troops. I hope we can return to the homeland together.”

Sigurd:
“Me too, Claude. Thank you so much for everything!”

(Agusty)

Diadora:
“Shanan, I just got word that Sigurd’s taken over Madino Castle. I have to go see him!”

Shanan:
“Diadora, forget it! It’s not safe out there. And what about Celice?”

Diadora:
“That’s why I need ask you to watch over him.”

Shanan:
“No way! I can’t look after a baby all by myself.”

Diadora:
“Please… I’ll be right back. Would you just do this for me, Shanan?  Please?”

Shanan:
“Yeah… alright. Whatever, I’ll do it. But you better be back quick!”

Diadora:
“Thank you, Shanan. Celice, I’m sorry, babe. Mummy’ll be right back, ‘k?”

(Diadora heads for Madino, Manfroy warps into her path)

Manfroy:
“At last… the daughter of Cigyun.”

Diadora:
“Huh? Who are you? And how do you know my mother’s name?”

Manfroy:
“Heh heh heh… Prepare for your rebirth. Once we erase all your memories, we shall introduce you to your new husband. There’s no use fighting it. This is destined to be.”

Diadora:
“W, what… are you d-d-doing? St, stop it!! Aghhh… S, Sig… urd…”

(Enemy phase, Silvail)

Shagaal:
“Eltshan! What the hell’ve you been doing!? Your negligence just lost us Madino! Aha! You are teaming up with the enemy to overthrow Agustria!”

Eltshan:
“Your Majesty! How could you say that!?”

Shagaal:
“You got a problem with that? My father’d be so disappointed with you. A true knight doesn’t sneak around stalling for time!”

Eltshan:
“You’re not even listening to me! Look, I… hmph. Okay, I’ll get my men ready. I’ll let you know I’m proud to be a Holy Knight of Agustria. If I’m to die, I’ll die fighting. Your Majesty, please watch over Silvail while I’m gone.”

(Eltshan leaves and gathers his Cross Knights)

Eltshan:
“It’s time to go in, men. This may just be our last battle. I cannot begin to tell you what your years of loyalty has meant to me… This battle will determine the fate of our nation. Give it all you’ve got. Cross Knights, ATTACK!!”

(Back in Silvail)

Shagaal:
“Has Eltshan finally left for battle? Pretentious fool. I’m taking command here! The rest of you strengthen your defense of the castle!”

Sigurd and Eltshan Are Near Each Other

Sigurd:
“Eltshan, please! Put down your sword! I don’t want to fight you! I still have every intention of handing over Agusty. Please, I just need a little more time!”

Eltshan:
“… Sigurd, I’ve heard enough. It’s just you and I on the battlefield now. Two knights fighting with grace and honour. But I’m not about to fall with the Mistolteen at my side… ‘Til death!”

Lachesis Talks with Eltshan

Lachesis:
“Eltshan! It’s me, your sister!! Please, stop this senseless fighting! You can’t fight Sir Sigurd! Is betraying one’s friends a part of the honour of being a knight!? Eltshan, please! (sob..) Trust him! Can’t you hold off your attack just a little bit longer?”

Eltshan:
“I don’t want to see you cry, but I have no other way out of this! If Shagaal is defeated, Agustria will fall as well.”

Lachesis:
“That’s not true! If Shagaal withdrew his troops, Sir Sigurd would also back out of this. Please, talk with King Shagaal. He can’t ignore the commander of the Cross Knights.”

Eltshan:
“… Okay… I’ll give it one more shot. I’d rather risk my life for my friend than this crazy war. That is the way of the knight. Lachesis, this sword is for you.”

Lachesis:
“Isn’t this the Earth Sword!? Eltshan, I can’t take this from you!”

Eltshan:
“Lachesis, keep it as a memento from me… just in case. Now you be careful!”

Lachesis:
“Wa, wait! Eltshan!!”

(Eltshan goes to Silvail)

Eltshan:
“Your Majesty, any more fighting would be futile. Please withdraw the troops. You will get Agusty back someday. I’m certain of it.”

Shagaal:
“Eltshan, you imbecile! Now what are you babbling about!? I knew it! You ARE in cahoots with the enemy! Somebody! Seize this traitor! Off with his head! We’ll make an example out of him!”

Eltshan:
“I should’ve known this wouldn’t go well. This will mark the end of Agustria too I’m afraid…”

Shagaal:
“You contriving little fool! Take his head off right here!”

Eltshan:
“Lachesis…”

The Turn After Eltshan Dies (If You Killed Him)

Sigurd:
“Why!? Why’d he have to die? What have I been fighting for…”

Oifey:
“Sir, there’s nothing you could’ve done. Don’t blame yourself. We must stay focused on King Eltshan’s hope of returning peace to Agustria.”

Enemy Phase After Lachesis Talks with Eltshan OR Enemy Phase After the Last Cross Knight Is Killed (If You Killed Eltshan)

(Silvail)

Shagaal:
“Trabant, have you gotten your Dragon Knights ready yet?”

Trabant:
“Yessir. We’re ready to go. You’ll get what ya paid for outta us.”

Shagaal:
“Hmph. Maybe these mercenaries I hired will do more for me than those other imbeciles. Alright. You know what to do!”

(Near the Blagi Tower)

Papilon:
“Pick up the pace! Agustria is straight ahead! Set your sights on Grandbell’s army, and give it to ’em as severely as you please. Let the name of Thracia echo across the land!”

Enemy Phase After Papilon Is Killed OR When Conquering Silvail

Trabant:
“Sheesh… Papilion blew it. I think it’s about time we bail. Agustria, you’re on yer own. Farewell, King Shagaal… y’fool.”

(Trabant leaves Silvail)

Conquering Silvail

Sigurd:
“Eltshan…”

Oifey:
“Sir, hang in there. Also, um… Shanan’s here. He must have had a good reason to leave Agusty. He says he needs to speak with you.”

Sigurd:
“Shanan?”

Shanan:
“Sigurd, I’m sorry!!”

Sigurd:
“What’s up? You’re crying. What happened!?”

Shanan:
“Diadora left the castle and never came back. She said she was going to see you! I’m sorry! I promised you I’d watch out for her…”

Sigurd:
“What? Diadora left!? And what about Celice?”

Shanan:
“He’s with me. See? He’s right here. But Deirdre…”

Sigurd:
“Shanan, don’t worry. This isn’t your fault. I’m going to find her.”

Shanan:
“But I shouldn’t have let her go. I’m so sorry, Sigurd!”

Sigurd:
“Diadora, just where did you disappear to…”

(Enemy phase, Orgahill)

Dobarl:
“Cap’n! Agustria lost t’war! Them Grandbellians’ll attack up this way ‘fore too long. Whaddya reckon?”

Briggid:
“Dobarl! They’re coming because you guys went behind my back and raided the villages! I won’t have this insubordination!”

Dobarl:
“Hey! Enough from ya! We tried lettin’ ya lead us, but ya too power hungry! I’ve got news for ya sis. Ya ain’t t’late cap’n’s real daughter anyhow. Ya’s jus’ this cryin’ lit’le girl on a ship we attacked. So th’ cap’n decided t’raise ya himself. Then ya grew up ‘n started orderin’ us around. Makes me head hurt jus’ thinkin’ ’bout it!”

Briggid:
“What!? That can’t be…”

Dobarl:
“But we’ve no use fer ya now. I believe t’is dyin’ time fer ya.”

Briggid:
“Hold on! You’re not taking me that easy, you rotten filth!”

(Dobarl and Pizarl chase Briggid a stretch)

Dobarl:
“Do ‘er in! Don’t let ‘er escape! Pizarl, I’m headin’ back to th’ castle. Take some men with ya an’ lay waste t’Agustria.”

Pizarl:
“Aye!”

(Pizarl gathers an army)

Pizarl:
“Alrighty. We need a bridge here! Agustria’s ours!”

(Next phase, Blagi Tower)

Tiltyu:
“Claude, c’mon! We gotta get movin’! Aren’t you done prayin’ yet? We can’t be messin’ ’round here. If pirates showed up, they’d kill us fer sure.”

Claude:
“I’m coming. By praying to Lord Blagi I’ve learned the truth behind what’s been happening. It’s just as I thought it to be. I also found our family’s Sacred Relic. It’s been missing for some time. The Valkilli Staff. Have a look.”

Tiltyu:
“Huh? This dirty ol’ stick?”

Claude:
“Tiltyu! You had better watch what comes out of your mouth. This staff here? It’s magical and can return life to those who have passed on already. Only one descendant of Saint Blagi can use it, and that’s me.”

Tiltyu:
“Hmm… So can it bring back my sweet grandma?”

Claude:
“Well, no it can’t. You see it has certain limitations, so it won’t work on everyone. You see, we’re all born with this life force. It’s called ‘Aegir’ and…”

Tiltyu:
“Huh? You lost me. You’re (yawn…) puttin’ me t’sleep. Anyway, we don’t got time for that stuff. We gotta get movin’!”

Claude:
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s go.”

Conquering Orgahill

Sigurd:
“We’ve gained control of the pirate’s castle. Oifaye, would you round up all our troops? I want to make sure everybody’s alright.”

Oifey:
“Right away, sir.”

(Outside Agusty)

Langobalt:
“Relay this to the troops. Sigurd and his band of rebels are to be apprehended. They along with Vylon killed Prince Kurth in an attempt to take over the monarchy. Those are direct orders from His Majesty. Show no mercy to these traitors of the kingdom!”

Leptor:
“Heh heh heh! Langobalt, you are a cunning one. First he kills the prince… just about kills Vylon too for putting up a fight. He’s got some gall! Alvis sure took advantage of his cosy relationship with the king. He sure spun a good one. And to think he spearheaded our entire mission and managed to put the entire blame on the Chalphys. Hmm… Well, as long I take control of the throne. Anyone who gets in the way we’ll simply do away with.”

(Orgahill)

Sigurd:
“…what!? They’re callin’ me a traitor!? And Grandbell’s sent troops to take me in!?”

Oifey:
“We just finished fighting, too. You were all set to go look for Diadora.”

Sigurd:
“Grr! His Majesty is being fooled by Leptor and his crew. How can he believe that my father could kill Prince Kurth? Aaagh… I wish Father Claude could’ve gotten back there by now. First we lose Eltshan and now this. What have I been fighting for all this time!?”

Oifey:
“Sir…”

(Pegasus knights come to Orgahill)

Mahnya:
“Sir Sigurd. I’m Mahnya, a Silesian knight. I’m here on orders from Queen Lahna. Please consider retreating to Silesia until your fine name is cleared of all of this.”

Sigurd:
“…Queen Lahna of Silesia? Silesia is willing to help out an accused traitor?”

Mahnya:
“Sir, time is of the essence. Grandbell will be on your trail before long. The Pegasus Knights will accompany you over the ocean to Silesia.”

Dew Enters Blagi Tower (Dew’s Treasure)

Dew:
“Blagi Tower! Hee hee! The life of a thief! Let’s see what’s locked inside her.”

(Dew enters the tower)

Dew:
“Mm? Nothin’ here. How ’bout over there? Hmm, nothin’ here either. This place’s empty.”

???::
“…Who goes there?”

Dew:
“Hm!?”

???::
“…State your reason for entering Blagi Tower.”

Dew:
“I’ll just pretend I can’t hear ’em…”

???::
“…Trespassing on holy ground is forbidden! Leave at once!”

Dew:
“Yikes!! Please forgive me!”

(Dew leaves the tower)

Dew:
“Ulp! What was that!? Huh? What’s this sword doin’ here? Well, it’s mine now!”

Villages

Villager:
“What’s going on? What’d make them Orgahill Pirates do this to us!? And to think we trusted that leader of theirs, Briggid whats-her-face!”

Villager:
“Whoa. Glad yeh came! I got a sword fer yeh in ‘preciation. It’s magical. We call ‘er th’ Wing Clipper. It’ll spell death fer anythin’ in th’ air. If yeh can’t use ‘er, yeh can still sell ‘er.”

Villager:
“Eh? You’re here to help us!? Our village is saved! I’m much obliged to ya. Please accept this magical staff on my behalf. It’s called the Rest Staff. It can heal any bouts of Sleep or Silence. I’m sure it’ll be of use to ya.”

Villager:
“Yeh came fer us! Blessed be! Have a sip of this here potion, an’ yer defence’ll go up a bit.”

Villager:
(If you haven’t fought the Cross Knights)
“King Eltshan’s hand picked Cross Knights are second to none on the face of this continent. Actually, my boyfriend is one of ’em! Pretty cool, huh?”
(If you have fought the Cross Knights)
(sigh…) My boyfriend was killed in this cursed war. This is all Grandbell’s… No! This is all King Shagaal’s fault!!

Villager:
“Beware. Rumour has it that King Shagaal went an’ hired Thracia’s Dragon Knights. Every war, one side always ends up hirin’ ’em. They’s the most ruthless killin’ machine ’round. …like a pack of hyenas feastin’ on a fresh kill.”

Villager:
“So glad to see yeh! Why’ncha help ye’self to a sip of our village’s secret formula? Go ahead… get in. Whaddya think? Feel a little power swellin’ in yeh veins? Makes work feel like kids play!”

Villager:
“Another war’s broken out? Ugh, not again! We’ve got absolutely nothing to do with Grandbell OR Agustria! If they must fight, they should do it somewhere else.”

Conversations

Lex with Ira

Lex:
“Hey, Ira.”

Ira:
“Lex? What do you want.”

Lex:
“Geez, you’re really the friendly type.”

Ira:
“Look, I’m busy. If you don’t need me, I’m leaving.”

Lex:
“Hold on. I got my hands on something you might be interested in.”

Ira:
“I don’t need any souvenirs. Give it to one of the other girls.”

Lex:
“Heheh… So you’ve no use for this either?”

Ira:
“Whoa! Where did you get that!?”

Lex:
“The infamous Hero Sword? So I take it you’ve heard of them before.”

Ira:
“This is… a Hero Sword!? It’s fantastic!”

Lex:
“You like it, huh? It’s yours. Take it.”

Ira:
“Ah, wait a sec! Lex!”

(Lex leaves)

Ira:
“Lex…”

Holyn with Ira

Holyn:
“Ira, here. I’ve got something for you.”

Ira:
“This is a Hero Sword, isn’t it? Why me? You should be using this.”

Holyn:
“I’ve a feeling things are going to get nasty here soon. Besides, anyone who fights like you could use a couple extra swords. Keep yourself well protected. I may not always be here to defend you.”

Ira:
“Holyn, thank you. I’ll cherish this sword!”

Ethlin with Cuan

Ethlin:
“Cuan, I have an apology to make.”

Cuan:
“Hm? What’s the matter? Did something happen?”

Ethlin:
“Here.”

Cuan:
“Ah! The Gayborg? How did you get it!?”

Ethlin:
“Your father gave it to me. He wanted me to give it to you if things got too out of hand.”

Cuan:
“Boy, I’m going to clean up shop with this! So… why did you wait until now?”

Ethlin:
“Well, your father told me a bit about its history. I’m sorry, Cuan…”

Cuan:
“The legend of the Gayborg… It’s a sad story, but it’s nothing more than legend.”

Ethlin:
“Yeah, but…”

Cuan:
“Ethlin, trust me. Anyway, this battle’s about over with. We can soon return to Lenster. We have to get back to our little Altenna.”

Ethlin:
“Yes, we do. Cuan, no matter what happens, we’ll never be apart, right?”

Cuan:
“Huh? You must be worried about Diadora. But we’ll find her soon.”

Ethlin:
“Yeah, I want to think so, too. But…”

Cuan:
“Ethlin? Why are you crying? You think something bad’s going to happen?”

Ethlin:
“I’m just… It’s so sad to think those two may never see each other again. They were so much in love. How could such a horrible thing happen to them!?”

Cuan:
“Ethlin…”

Sigurd with Briggid

Sigurd:
“Briggid, are you okay?”

Briggid:
“Who are you? How do you know my name?”

Sigurd:
“Well, one of the villagers was telling me about the leader of the Orgahil Pirates and how she’s always helping the poor. That’s you, isn’t it?”

Briggid:
“Ah, I see. You’re Sigurd from Grandbell, right? If you must kill me, go on. Get it over with.”

Sigurd:
“Hahaha! No, no. I merely came to talk to you! We’d like you to team up with us. What do you say?”

Briggid:
“You want me to fight with you!?”

Sigurd:
“Yep, we need you.”

Briggid:
“You’re a strange one…”

Adean with Briggid

Adean:
“Hey, you’re… Yes, I knew it! Briggid! I’m your sister, Adean! Please, try to remember!”

Briggid:
“How come you know my name? …Wow, you look just like me. …Adean, you say? Actually does sound kinda familiar…”

Adean:
“Yes! I’m your twin sister! You were taken by pirates when you were just 5 years old! I’ve been looking for you for such a long time.”

Briggid:
“I don’t know. You’re going to have to prove this to me somehow.”

Adean:
“Okay. Take this bow. Then draw.”

Briggid:
“Hm? Wow! Now that’s a nice bow! Just draw it, right? Whoa! W, what is going on! Some strange power is bubbling up inside me. I… I have some recollection… Ah… my heart is burning… Adean. Your are my sister, Adean!”

Adean:
“Wonderful! You remember! That bow is the holy Ichival… It’s been handed down through our family for generations. It is said that only one direct descendant of a crusader is able to handle their divine weapon. And in our family, that appears to be you! Now is that enough proof for you?”

Briggid:
“Adean… Let me see your face. How’s our father? And our brother… Andrei?”

Adean:
“Oh! I have so many things to ask you, too!”

Midayle with Briggid

Midayle:
“My lady?”

Briggid:
“Huh? Who the hell are you?”

Midayle:
“I’m sorry, you aren’t Lady Adean, are you. So you must be…”

Briggid:
“You mad? What in the world are you mumbling about?”

Midayle:
“What’s your name?”

Briggid:
“Briggid.”

Midayle:
“Briggid… you’re beautiful!”

Briggid:
“What did you say? You tryin’ to be funny!?”

Midayle:
“To think there’s another… one that’s even more beautiful. You’re like a dream!”

Briggid:
“I… I’m leaving!”

Claude with Sigurd

Claude:
“Sir Sigurd! Finally we can meet up!”

Sigurd:
“Claude! You’re alright! You had us all worried. We heard that you two were attacked by pirates.”

Claude:
“Yes, but thanks to Tiltyu’s efforts we made it through. That aside, my prayer at Blagi Tower proved to be quite fruitful, Sir Sigurd.”

Sigurd:
“You found out who killed Prince Kurth!?”

Claude:
“Yes. It was all a conspiracy of Lord Leptor. He had Lord Langobalt murder the prince. And then he shrewdly placed the blame on your father.”

Sigurd:
“I knew it!”

Claude:
“There’s more. The death of King Mananan also turned out to be Lord Leptor’s handiwork. He didn’t want the war with Isaac to come to a close, so he secretly killed the king.”

Sigurd:
“Is that right? So this was Leptor right from the start.”

Claude:
“Well, it doesn’t seem to be all his doing. Some kind of wicked force is working in his shadow. An evil presence so powerful that even Lord Blagi could not clearly discern it.”

Sigurd:
“…Evil presence? Maybe… the Dark Sect? Claude! What about my father?”

Claude:
“Well, he is still alive, but seems to be at death’s door…”

Sigurd:
“Father… Oh no!”

Claude:
“I will hurry back to the capital and inform His Majesty all that I have been revealed. Sir Sigurd, please sit tight for the moment and try to avoid any rash behaviour.”

Sigurd:
“Of course. Claude, please, I beg of you, help my father clear himself of this horrible injustice.”

Claude:
“It’s in the Lord’s hands now, Sir Sigurd.”
