After quelling Silesia’s internal unrest, Grandbell’s great military lay waiting for Sigurd.
Sigurd hadn’t a moment’s rest since gaining control of Zaxon Castle.
He sat face to face with Grandbell’s military stationed over at Lubeck Castle.

Commanding the forces was an enemy of Sigurd’s father… Lord Langobalt.
Engaging Grandbell’s military would provide Sigurd a chance to avenge his father’s entrapment at the hands of Langobalt.

Stationed in the desert town Phinora were Lord Alvis’ men, and the great Magefighter, Vaha.
In Velthomer, Alvis’ most trusted confidant General Aida was entrusted with the castle’s defense.
And in the capitol, Lord Alvis assisted the elderly bedridden King Azmur while Prime Minister Leptor maintained the public order.

With such a great distance to the capitol, confrontation with Grandbell’s forces seemed inevitable.
Sigurd also knew he mustn’t involve Silesia any further in the conflict with Grandbell.
He resolved to fight this final battle.

Gran calender – 760. Early Spring…
All of Silesia rested peacefully under a heavy cover of snow…

Opening

(Vylon rides towards Zaxon)

Vylon:
“Ooooh… I’ve only… (pant..) a little strength left in me. Sigurd… I must get the Holy Tailfing to you!”

(Lubeck)

Slaydar:
“Langobalt, I spotted Lord Vylon due west of here. He managed to get away just as I was closing in. I believe he intends to seek refuge in Silesia.”

Langobalt:
“Then what the hell’re you doing here!? Get after him!! We must finish him off now! Otherwise our entire effort spent wiping out Chalphy’s Gruenen Ritter will have been for nothing!”

Slaydar:
“Y, yes, of course. He has sustained heavy injuries, so he shouldn’t get far.”

Langobalt:
“You gravely underestimate the situation. Vylon is prepared to spill his last drop of blood to get the Holy Tailfing to his son. Do you have any idea how much trouble we’ll face if that sword reaches Sigurd!? Depart immediately and kill him!!”

Slaydar:
“Y, yes sir! Right away, sir!”

(Slaydar leaves)

Langobalt:
“Damn it. Dannan still hasn’t shown up with his reinforcements. The axe knights of the Grauen Ritter are all elite warriors. With that much power on his side, Dannan has no excuse for taking so long to quell some little uprising in Isaac. Both my sons, Dannan and Lex, are absolutely worthless.”

Andrei:
“Don’t lose heart, sir. Those rebels won’t stand a chance against the Beige Ritter.”

Langobalt:
“I appreciate it, Lord Andrei. Do lend us a hand if things get too out of control.”

Andrei:
“Heh heh… With pleasure!”

(Andrei leaves)

Langobalt:
“That contemptuous little brat. He shows absolutely no remorse for killing his own father. Lord Ring… may you rest in peace.”

(Zaxon)

Oifey:
“Sir, there’s a lone knight heading this way from the east.”

Sigurd:
“What? An enemy!?”

Oifey:
“I don’t think so. Lubeck Castle has put out troops in pursuit of the knight. He could be an ally.”

Sigurd:
“Then let’s try to help him. We have to face Langobalt’s army sooner or later anyhow. Okay. Let’s take the enemy’s front line in one sweep. Our first strike’ll decide this battle.”

(Enemy Phase, Barhara)

Azmur:
“Lord Alvis, is it true that Sigurd’s party is making an advance in Barhara’s direction?”

Alvis:
“Yes, but there is no need for alarm. Lord Langobalt’s army has already reached Lubeck. Subjugation of the insurgents should be forthcoming.”

Azmur:
“Yes. Well, I’m not so sure I buy all this. Lord Vylon assassinating Kurth, and Sigurd causing all this ruckus… I don’t know.”

Alvis:
“Your Majesty. Please, I’ll explain once more. Lord Vylon assassinated the prince with the help of Lord Ring of Jungby. Duke Leptor and Duke Langobalt both witnessed the entire horrible spectacle! The prince learned of their plot to usurp the throne, and that cost him his life. Sir Sigurd is also without a doubt involved in the conspiracy. Why else would he harbour the prince of a hostile country? Isaac no less. These are clearly acts of treason against the kingdom. The late Prince Kurth is also now a father-in-law to me… And for my beloved princess, Diadora, I must put an end to Sigurd’s path of destruction! If Lord Langobalt cannot successfully subdue the rebels, Velthomer’s fire knights, the Roten Ritter, will stop Sigurd’s rebel army in their tracks!”

Azmur:
“Well, you obviously have strong feelings about all this, and rightly so. Alvis… (cough.. cough..) about Diadora…”

Diadora:
“Grandfather, are you alright? You mustn’t overdo yourself. Would you care to lie down?”

Azmur:
“Ahh, Diadora. You’re such a sweet child. I’m… wheeze… not long for this world, but you give me hope for the kingdom’s future. I don’t know when or how Kurth could have acquired himself such a wonderful daughter, but the markings on your brow clearly identify you as a direct descendant of the Royal Family. Where in heavens have you been living all this time?”

Diadora:
“I’m sorry. I don’t know. I don’t remember anything from my past. Not a single memory I can speak of…”

Azmur:
“Ahh, forgive me. You’ve gone through more hardship than the lot of us.”

Alvis:
“She had no recollections from the moment we found her near the castle grounds. Aside from her name she doesn’t remember a thing. I was simply looking after her out of sympathy, but then I fell deeply in love with her. With all due respect, I never in a million years would have suspected she was of royalty.”

Azmur:
“The day you brought her in to the Royal Palace to announce your wedding intentions, I tell you… I could have swore my eyes were playing tricks on me! I don’t know. Call it a family’s intuition, but somehow I knew. And sure enough under her circlet were the markings of Narga. Lord Alvis, you understand what this all means, don’t you? According to the Book of Narga only descendants of Heim, like myself, can give off that kind of vibration. And Narga’s power is the only one capable of standing up to the Dark Lord Loputousu.”

Alvis:
“Yes, I’m aware of that.”

Azmur:
“Lord Narga’s lineage through Saint Heim must not be allowed to perish! I want the two of you to bear a son as soon as possible! If the child inherits the power of Narga, he shall be Prince of Grandbell. And once I pass on he’ll become the King of Grandbell. Lord Alvis, until the boy is old enough to rule, you shall be the provisional king. Do raise him well. I hope you understand all of what I’ve told you. (cough.. Ah…ack..)”

Sigurd Talks with Vylon

Sigurd:
“F, father! Is that you!? You’re alright!”

Vylon:
“Sigurd… I see you’ve grown into a fine young man. (cough.. cough..)”

Sigurd:
“Father! Hang in there!!”

Vylon:
“Son, I’m afraid I’m at death’s door, so listen up. Langobalt killed Prince Kurth, not I. And just above him in the chain of command is Leptor. Please inform His Majesty of this. I’m not afraid to die, son. But I must live long enough see our good name restored!”

Sigurd:
“I knew it! Don’t worry, father. I will restore your honour in the kingdom. Rest assured!”

Vylon:
“Son, I’m sorry. My negligence has led to all the hardships you’re currently facing. Here, take this from me. It’s the Holy Tailfing.”

Sigurd:
“The Holy Tailfing! But father, you can still…”

Vylon:
“Take it! And restore our good name!”

Sigurd:
“Father! C’mon, hang in there for me. Father!”

Oifey:
“Sir…”

Sigurd:
“I’ve had it with those two! Leptor and Langobalt… I’m taking you both out!!”

First Enemy Phase After Slaydar Is Killed

Andrei:
“Okay, we’re off! Show them the sheer power of the Beige Ritter!”

Sigurd Didn’t Talk to Vylon (Lubeck Conquered)

Vylon:
“Ahh… No… Sigurd!! Just one more step… Oh, why have the heavens forsaken me!”

Conquering Lubeck

Oifey:
“Sir, that sure wasn’t an easy one.”

Sigurd:
“Yeah. And that was just Grandbell’s standing army. Things are only going to get worse. Oifey, I need a favour of you.”

Oifey:
“Sure. What is it?”

Sigurd:
“Isaacian territory is just northeast of Lubeck, right? Langobalt’s oldest son, Dannan, has been stationed in Isaac ever since their defeat. But I’m willing to bet his authority hasn’t reached the outskirts of Isaac. So…”

Oifey:
“Just a second! Are you suggesting I leave you all and head for safety!? Forget it! I’m not leaving your side, sir! I’m here till the end!”

Sigurd:
“Oifey, I hate to impose on you, but please understand my situation. I don’t want to lose Celice. He is not even two yet. But I can’t fight and take care of him. Oifey, please. I want you to take Celice and go to where it’s safe. You are the only one who I can feasibly count on to do this.”

Oifey:
“…Alright, I’ll do it. …I’ll guard him with my life. But you have to promise me something. When this war is over you must promise to come get us. Otherwise, I’m not leaving.”

Sigurd:
“Of course. I promise. I’ll come for you.”

Oifey:
“Okay.”

Shanan:
“Hold on a second! Diadora put me in charge of protectin’ Celice! And I’m not handin’ him over to Oifey or anyone until she says it’s okay!”

Sigurd:
“Shanan, come on… I know how you feel. I’m not any happier than you are about Diadora not being around, but this is for the best.”

Shanan:
“Forget it! It’s my job! Besides, Isaacians hate you guys. You send Oifey by himself and he’ll be in big trouble! I’m the prince of Isaac. I can protect him better than anyone. Besides, I promised I would.”

Oifey:
“Sir, I would be a bit more at ease if Shanan came along. I know you don’t want to get him involved in this. He is still pretty young. But he can hold his own. His presence would add a level of safety I can’t provide in Isaac.”

Sigurd:
“Hm… …Alright. Shanan, watch over Celice, okay?”

Shanan:
“You got it! I’m gonna get even tougher, you’ll see. No one’ll lay a hand on him! And I’ll tell him all about Diadora, too!”

Oifey:
“We’ll be off then. Sir, please take care. I’ll be praying for our victory.”

Sigurd:
“Thanks, Oifey. Stay well.”

Oifey:
“Will do!”

(Oifey and Shanan leave for Isaac)

Sigurd:
“Celice… forgive your father. Grow up strong.”

(When ending the Player Phase, Cuan and Ethlin appear with an army in the desert)

Cuan:
“Alright, everyone. Hang in there. We’re getting there. I heard Sigurd’s troops are coming south through the Yied Desert. So if we head north, we should meet up with them at some point.”

Ethlin:
“Cuan, I’m so sorry to put you through all this. It was so kind of you to agree to help my brother… especially with your father being so sick. But making enemies with a major power like Grandbell… Well, it really concerns me about Lenster’s future.”

Cuan:
“Ethlin, Lenster may be a small country, but it’s a country of warriors. My entire family is descended from the Crusader Noba. In a war of justice there is no loser. My father wants us to give this battle all we’ve got. Ethlin, don’t worry. I have the Gayborg with me. I’m not going to fall with this at my side. Anyway, I really believe I can help Sigurd out.”

Ethlin:
“…I know you will.”

Cuan:
“Ethlin, we’re in enemy territory now. You better head on back. The fighting may start anytime.”

Ethlin:
“Cuan, I’ve been thinking. I… I’m coming with you. I want to see my brother again, and I just can’t stand to leave your side!”

Cuan:
“No way! You said you were only coming part of the way. That’s why I let you bring Altenna along. Look at her sleeping on your lap. She’s only 3 years old! What would you do if we were suddenly attacked!?”

Ethlin:
“I’ll keep her safe with me!”

Cuan:
“I would have never brought you along in the first place had I known your intentions!”

Ethlin:
“But Altenna wouldn’t stop crying… I (sob..) had to bring her! But you’re right… You’re right. I’ll go back.”

Cuan:
“I’m sorry, Ethlin. I know how you feel, but you just gave birth to Leaf, as well. Our children need you. Look, Fin is in charge of Lenster. Please go back and wait for me.”

Ethlin:
“Okay, but let me stay with you a little longer… just a little. Please, Cuan.”

Cuan:
“Well… okay, but keep it short.”

(Trabant appears with an army of dragon knights behind them)

Trabant:
“Heheh… Cuan has no clue we’re here.  He’s got a woman with him, too. That’d be a mistake. Let’s bid a fine farewell to Lenster’s Lance Ritter! The desert’s hinderin’ their movement. No way they can put up a fight here! Let’s move! The future of Thracia is in our grasp!”

(Cuan’s army)

Cuan:
“What!? Thracia’s Dragon Knights!! Argh… No! Trabant’s followed us! Ethlin!! Get out of here! We can’t put up any kind of fight in the desert!”

Ethlin:
“But… but what about you?”

Cuan:
“Ethlin, they’re like a pack of hyenas. They’ll show no compassion for a child! Thracia has been after our country for quite a while. I left half of our military behind with Fin in case of a surprise attack by Thracia. But I never dreamed they’d come after us… I’ve made a grave miscalculation!”

Ethlin:
“Cuan, don’t give up yet. We can take ’em if we fight together! Now let’s do this!”

Cuan:
“Ethlin… thank you!”

(Velthomer)

Alvis:
“Lord Langobalt was killed, was he?”

Leptor:
“Alvis! Now are we going to do!? You’re the one who said Sigurd wouldn’t pose any problems! You KNEW Langobalt and I sent most of our military off with our sons to subdue other areas. You’ve explicitly gone against your word!”

Alvis:
“Lord Leptor, calm down a second. I already have Velthomer troops positioned in the Yied Desert. And Thracia’s mercenaries should be here shortly. Leptor, as long as you and I engage our armies together, the rebels WILL fall.”

Leptor:
“Alvis, you better be right this time. You can have the throne for all I care. But you best not forget about us once you become king.”

Alvis:
“Don’t worry. When this war is finished, your family will take Agustria. And the Dozel family will take Isaac. Rest assured. Those countries are rightfully yours.”

Leptor:
“Well, alright then. We’ll take on the rebels with all we’ve got.”

(Leptor leaves)

Manfroy:
“Hmhmhm… Lord Alvis, I see things are proceeding smoothly.”

Alvis:
“Manfroy? How many times have I told you not to show yourself around here!? All members of your Lopt Sect must stay completely hidden until I’ve taken power!”

Manfroy:
“Yes. You’re too weak to admit our presence, and you let that greedy Leptor and Langobalt run all over you!The original plan was to dispose of those two once they proved useless and work through their sons instead!”

Alvis:
“Hmph… Manfroy, I’ll say this once and only once, so listen good. I haven’t the slightest intention of rebuilding your Lopt Empire. I have no problem with your Lopt Sect existing, but I’m not leaving the world in the hands of the Dark Lord. You follow!? I don’t care if I have the Lopt Clan’s blood in me. I have Saint Maira’s blood and he fought for the good of the people. The Fire God Fala is also one of my ancestors. I will use my power to create a world which is free of prejudice. One where all peoples can live without fear of repression! Of course, Sigurd knows way too much. Consider him a sacrifice to the greater good.”

Manfroy:
“Hohoho… I assume that greater good includes Diadora as well! Lord Alvis, you’re afraid, aren’t you. Afraid her memories may be restored!”

Alvis:
“Enough, Manfroy! We-are-in-love. And no one’s going to get in our way!”

Manfroy:
“Hmhmhm… Well, the two of you need to get busy and bear a son. That child is certain to become a magnificent king! Heeheehee…”

(Phinora)

Vaha:
“The rebels have shown up? Hmhm… Just a little closer for a good dose of Meteo! This desert can be their grave!”

Ethlin Is Killed (Cuan Is Still Alive)

Trabant:
“The woman brought a child with her, did she? Ahh… Cuan’s daughter. This is gettin’ good! You tell ‘im to hand over the Gayborg, otherwise the little girl gets it. Heh heh… Cuan, whatcha gonna do?”

Cuan:
“No! Altenna… Ethlin… Argh!! So this is as far as I get… He can have the damn Gae Bolg, but he better not lay a finger on Altenna!”

(When Cuan is killed)

Trabant:
“Cuan’s dead, is he? Good. Magorn, take our men up an’ raise some hell on Sigurd’s troops. There’s a nice reward on their heads, so don’t let a single one slip by ya.”

Magorn:
“Yes sir. What shall we do with the child? She won’t stop crying, and… um… none of the men know quite how to handle a child. Should I off her?”

Trabant:
“No, give her to me. I’m takin’ her an’ the Gayborg back to Thracia with me.”

Magorn:
“This is unexpected. Why would you want to take her back to Thracia?”

Trabant:
“Shut up! This ‘as got nothin’ t’do with ya! So keep yer trap shut.”

Magorn:
“Ah, f, forgive me. I will… ah, lead the troops in pursuit of Sigurd then.”

Trabant:
“Yeah, ya do that!”

Ethlin Is Killed (Cuan Is Dead)

Trabant:
“The woman brought a child with her, did she? Ahh… Cuan’s daughter. This is gettin’ good! Hand her over. I’m takin’ her an’ the Gayborg back to Thracia with me.”

Magorn:
“This is unexpected. Why would you want to take her back to Thracia?”

Trabant:
“Shut up! This ‘as got nothin’ t’do with ya! So keep yer trap shut.”

Magorn:
“Ah, f, forgive me. I will… ah, lead the troops in pursuit of Sigurd then.”

Trabant:
“Yeah, ya do that!”

Conquering Phinora

Sigurd:
“So this is Phinora. Mmm… the motherland is not far. Oifey… Celice… I wonder how they’re doing…”

Elder:
“Welcome. You must be Sir Sigurd.”

Sigurd:
“Ahh, a Phinora elder I presume. Phinora is quite the oasis in this desert. It’s unfortunate your town got caught up in the middle of all this.”

Elder:
“Well, it can’t be helped. We just heard about another skirmish in the desert’s south end. I tell you, the world’s become a dangerous place.”

Sigurd:
“There was fighting in the south end, too? Who was that?”

Elder:
“According to our sources, Lenster’s lance knights were assaulted by Thracia’s Dragon Knights while coming north. Word is none of Lenster’s knights survived.”

Sigurd:
“…are you sure about that!?”

Elder:
“Pretty sure. I hear they had a little girl with them. The poor thing.”

Sigurd:
“That must be… Ethlin! And Cuan! No… For…forgive me!”

(Outside Velthomer)

Aida:
“Lord Leptor, we’re counting on you.”

Leptor:
“I know. I just wonder if Alvis really is going to back me up, and is not just sticking us out here to die.”

Aida:
“Alvis just put the finishing touches on his plan of attack. You’ve nothing to worry about.”

Leptor:
“Hm… Well, I suppose I’ll have to trust him this time.”

Aida:
“Leptor, I have orders to assume Velthomer Castle’s defense. So you’ll excuse me.”

(Aida walks into Velthomer)

Aida:
“Hmhmhm! Good, that fool hasn’t caught on yet.”

(Outside)

Leptor:
“Alright men! It’s just us until Alvis’ relief shows up. Don’t budge an inch until the enemy is well within range.”

Getting Near Leptor’s Army

Leptor:
“Okay, let’s do this! Velthomer’s fire knights are backing us up. Now let’s crush the enemy!”

(Velthomer)

Aida:
“Lay in an attack on Leptor’s army according to plan. Kill every one of them. No one is to be spared!”

(Next Enemy Phase, outside Velthomer)

Leptor:
“What!? Velthomer’s turned on us!? Argh… Alvis deceived me!”

Talking with Aida (Leptor Is Alive)

Aida:
“This is no time to talk! Please find me after we’ve subdued Leptor.”

Talking with Aida (Leptor Is Dead)

Aida:
“Sir Sigurd, I’m very happy to see you’re not harmed.”

Sigurd:
“What’s going on here? Why has Velthomer suddenly turned in our favour?”

Aida:
“Alvis has been aware all along of your innocence. This has all been a conspiracy by Duke Leptor and Duke Langobalt. Their influence was just too much for Alvis to be able to do anything.”

Sigurd:
“Is that right? Well, good. This has all turned out for the best then. I can finally clear my father’s name.”

Aida:
“…Yes. His Majesty and Alvis are anxiously awaiting your arrival in the capital. Please, see to it that you make your way there.”

Sigurd:
“Really? Alright. Well, we should get going then.”

Aida:
“Apparently, Alvis has arranged for Barhara’s Royal Guard to receive you and your troops. It sounds like they’ve planned quite a celebration for your triumphant return.”

Sigurd:
“Wonderful! That should make for a nice closing for all we’ve been through. And I can finally get some compensation to all those who have fought with me.”

Aida:
“Indeed…”

(Sigurd’s army parades to Barhara)

Alvis:
“Sir Sigurd, this is an auspicious day! We’ve greatly anticipated your return to the motherland.”

Sigurd:
“Lord Alvis. thank you so much for coming out to greet us. Where is His Majesty?”

Alvis:
“Well, His Majesty has become extremely ill. He can’t even hold himself up anymore. Accordingly, I am currently handling all affairs of the kingdom.”

Sigurd:
“Is that so? I’m sorry to hear that. I bet you have your hands full. I’ve caused His Majesty a good dose of anguish. I must stop by the Royal Palace later on and make a formal apology.”

Alvis:
“…That won’t be necessary.”

Sigurd:
“What’s that?”

Alvis:
“I hereby sentence you to death for your acts of treason. No visits to the king today, Sigurd.”

Sigurd:
“Wh, what? Lord Alvis, what is the meaning of this!”

Alvis:
“Heh heh… You’re just now catching on? I’m afraid you’re far too late, my friend. You and your father plotted to usurp the throne. That hasn’t changed. As the husband of Princess Diadora, I must subdue you. Nothing personal, Sigurd.”

Sigurd:
“Princess Diadora!? Wait a minute… That’d be…”

Alvis:
“You didn’t know? I suppose an introduction would be in order before you depart this world. Diadora, come!”

(Diadora is brought out of Barhara)

Alvis:
“Diadora, this is the son of the man who murdered your father. It’s Lord Vylon’s son, Sigurd. Go ahead. Let him know how you feel.”

Diadora:
“…This is… …Sir Sigurd?”

Sigurd:
“Wha-? Diadora!? This can’t be!”

Diadora:
“…Why… Why are you speaking to me like that?”

Sigurd:
“Diadora! It is you! Aaagh!!”

Diadora:
“Do you… …know me?”

Sigurd:
“OF COURSE I DO! YOU’RE…”

Alvis:
“That’ll be enough from you. Diadora, take a step back. This man is dangerous. He is guilty of treason and is to be punished.”

Diadora:
“But I… This person is… Please, just a little more time.”

Alvis:
“I don’t think so. Quick! Somebody escort the princess away from here!”

Diadora:
“Wait! Alvis, please… just a little longer.”

(Diadora is taken back into Barhara)

Sigurd:
“Wa, wait! Diadora!! Alvis, please! That woman… she’s…”

Alvis:
“That’ll be enough! Alright, inform the troops to seize Sigurd and his party. We no longer need to keep them alive. Let them serve their sentence right here!”

Sigurd:
“Alvis! YOU DASTARD!!”

Secret Event with Arden (Arden’s Decision)

Arden:
“Heh… I got married and got a kid! My family’s gotta come first, so I best not be dyin’. What’s dis ole book sittin’ here. Hmph… Dis is all gibber gabber. Eerrrr… mmmmnugh! What da… Wow! I feel all my senses done renovated!”

Villages

Villager:
“Grandbell’s military went and seized Lubeck, did they? Ahh! Silesia’s days’re numbered.”

Villager:
“Our Silesia remained peaceful for the longest time. Just when did things get so bad…”

Villager:
“Children inherit certain traits from their parents. More often than not, boys inherit their father’s traits and girls inherit their mother’s.”

Villager:
“Langobalt’s soldiers are looting all the villages! But we managed to sneak a little cash past them. Here, we would like you to have it.”

Villager:
“Grandbell did subdue Isaac, but there still is some commotion going on over there. Apparently the people of Isaac are desperate to see Prince Shanan return.”

Villager:
“Grandbell used to be a peace loving country, but things have changed. They’ve been sending troops to each and every nation with the intention of overthrowing them. Prince Kurth would never have allowed any of this if he were around. Please do something! Please return to Grandbell and remove those who are responsible for all this!”

Villager:
“By the sounds of it, the late King Eltshan of Nodion and his queen had themselves a young boy. His name was Aless, I believe. I reckon he’d be about 3 or 4 by now. Poor thing.”

Conversations

Adean with Briggid

Adean:
“Briggid, what’s wrong?”

Briggid:
“Adean, you heard what Andrei did, didn’t you!?”

Adean:
“Yes, he killed our dear father, and Mahnya as well. He must have been possessed by something evil to do such unthinkable things.”

Briggid:
“Well, that doesn’t matter ’cause I’m going to kill him! His little killing spree is over. Adean, you’re with me on this, aren’t you?”

Adean:
“Briggid…”

Briggid:
“I wish there was another way, but the crimes he has committed weigh heavily on us as well. Look, I may go down for what I’m about to do. I just wanted you to understand my reasons.”

Adean:
“Yes, Brigid.”

Claude with Adean

Claude:
“Adean, this is to be our last battle.”

Adean:
“Yes, that’s what everyone’s saying.”

Claude:
“Here, you should have this. Help our young soldiers with it.”

Adean:
“Oh, this is a Rescue Staff. Why me?”

Claude:
“I have yet to speak a word of this, but you being my wife, well… I should probably tell you. This war will end in our defeat. All that is important to us will be lost.”

Adean:
“…What!?”

Claude:
“I, too, had a difficult time believing the Lord’s words when I was at Blagi Tower. But this is how fate will have it. I also will not likely survive. That’s why I’m entrusting this staff to you.”

Adean:
“That can’t be true! I don’t believe any of what you’re saying!! Please… tell me it’s not true!”

Claude:
“Adean, there’s really nothing to be scared of. My death is really just a new beginning. As life embraces death, that with form is lost, yet something still remains. There’s nothing to fear in death. It is merely a transition to a more perfect form.”

Adean:
“But Claude…!”

Claude:
“Just as I am to die, I shall also be reborn. Look, inside of you is a brand new life and I am a part of it. And that is why you must keep living.”

Adean:
“How could you! You tell me to keep living while you…”

Claude:
“Adean, I have been blessed to have met you. Forgive me if I have sounded insensitive.”

Adean:
“Claude…”

Sigurd with Ira

Sigurd:
“Ira!? I thought I told you to go back to Isaac with Shanan.”

Ira:
“Thanks, but it wouldn’t be right if I left now. I’m finishing this war with you.”

Sigurd:
“Huh? You were entrusted with Shanan’s protection, but he’s in Isaac and you’re here!”

Ira:
“Ah, you’re talking about the promise to my late brother. My job is finished with Shanan. He’s old enough to look after himself now.”

Sigurd:
“Yeah, but…”

Ira:
“I will return to Isaac as soon as this war is finished. And when that day comes, Sir, you too will be able to return to your homeland.”

Lex with Azel

Lex:
“Azel, what’s up? You look horrible.”

Azel:
“Well, what are you so happy for?”

Lex:
“Huh? Ah, you mean my dad?”

Azel:
“Yeah…”

Lex:
“Yeah… Well, I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t feel nothin’. But I tell you, it serves him right. He killed a lot of innocent people.”

Azel:
“Boy, you’re strong, Lex. I start to shake just when I’m around Alvis.”

Lex:
“I can’t figure your brother out. I never thought of him as a bad guy. He was always kind to us.”

Azel:
“Yeah, he always meant more to me than my dad did. But sometimes I feel like I don’t even know him. He can get pretty violent.”

Lex:
“And that’s why you left your pad. Am I right? I don’t see any problem there, Azel. You’ve got your life, and he’s got his.”

Azel:
“Yeah, I suppose.”

Dew with Jamka

Dew:
“Hey, Jamka.”

Jamka:
“Dew… What’re you still doing here? We don’t need you around here, so get lost!”

Dew:
“Everyone’s been sayin’ that, and I’m sick of it! What’s up with everybody? We’re just about ready to win here, but everyone’s bein’ all weird.”

Jamka:
“Er… Sorry, Dew. Yeah, you’re right. I am a bit on edge. I’m not sure why.”

Dew:
“Jamka, look. I like you. You’re a nice guy. I know I caused you trouble before… Anyway, I’m sorry.”

Jamka:
“Dew! What are you getting all mushy on me for? Now you’re the one being weird.”

Dew:
“Yeah, I just… Never mind. I’ll see ya later.”

(Dew leaves)

Jamka:
“Hmm… Dew’s also sensing something.”

Alec with Noish

(I don’t think this is triggerable in the game)

Alec:
“Noish, this is it, huh?”

Noish:
“Mmm.”

Alec:
“Hey, uh… I just wanna thank you for everything.”

Noish:
“Sure thing. Same goes here, Alec.”

Alec:
“It’s been a blast, huh?”

Noish:
“Yep.”

Alec:
“Well, take care then.”

Noish:
“Yep. You too.”

Tiltyu with Azel

Tiltyu:
“Azel, don’t go!”

Azel:
“Tiltyu, you promised me you’d head for Silesia. I told you, I’ll come as soon as I can!”

Tiltyu:
“But…”

Azel:
“You can’t fight Freege’s army! What, are you going to kill your own father?”

Tiltyu:
“Well, no, but…”

Azel:
“Good. I’d have second thoughts about someone who’d kill their own dad. You take care of the kids, okay?”

Tiltyu:
“…Azel!”

Tiltyu with Claude

Tiltyu:
“Claude, what should I do?”

Claude:
“Well, you certainly can’t fight your father’s army. Go to Silesia. You’ll be safe there.”

Tiltyu:
“But what are you going to do?”

Claude:
“Well, it’s my duty to see this war out.”

Tiltyu:
“How could you! Just how am I to raise our children without you!?”

Claude:
“I know it is difficult, but please understand.”

Tiltyu:
“…Claude!”

Tiltyu with Lex

Tiltyu:
“Lex, you just have t’fight, don’t ya.”

Lex:
“Hey! You get to Silesia where you’ll be safe.”

Tiltyu:
“You’re so cruel! You want me t’go all alone.”

Lex:
“Hey, everyone in the Freege family is breakin’ their back lookin’ for you, girl. And I don’t want my kids goin’ with them or the Dozels. You understand me!?”

Tiltyu:
“Yeah, but…”

Lex:
“Look, we’ve both been dealt a crappy hand. I wish we could’ve been together longer. I will cherish every single moment we had.”

Tiltyu:
“Oh, Lex…”

Fury with Levin

Fury:
“So this is it, Levin.”

Levin:
“Yeah. Fury, you keep your promise to me, okay?”

Fury:
“Yes, I’m to return immediately to Silesia. I know.”

Levin:
“Look, I’m not gonna die out here, and you best not go doin’ so either!”

Fury:
“Yes. I can promise that! I’ve had my childhood dream realised. It would be just horrible to die now! I will always be with you.”

“Mother’s very anxious to see you again… more than she is me!”

Fury:
“Yes. Well, I just hope I can make my new mother-in-law proud.”

Fury:
“Ardan, you okay?”

Arden:
“I’ve had ‘nough of dis stupid desert!”

“Heheh! Too bad you can’t ride my pegasus with me out of here.”

Arden:
“Yeh. If only I’s ’bout a hunnerd pounds lighter.”

Fury:
“Arden, don’t you get yourself killed, okay?”

Arden:
“You can bet on dat! I ain’t dyin’. Not after gettin’ someone as perdy as you for my wife! When dis war’s done wit we’s headin’ back t’Silesia. We can open a little veggie stand!”

Fury:
“Yes, that would be just fine with me.”

Fury with Noish

Fury:
“Oh, Noish, I’ve been looking for you!”

Noish:
“Fury, you alright?”

Fury:
“I’m fine.”

Noish:
“Good. Fury, you be careful. You’re no longer caring for just yourself, you know.”

Fury:
“I hope our kids back in Silesia are doing okay, as well. I’m dying to see them again.”

Noish:
“Yep, me too. Let’s get this war over with quickly.”

Fury:
“Yes, let’s do that. Noish, you be careful, too.”

Sylvia with Claude

Sylvia:
“Claude, you okay?”

Claude:
“Yes, I’m fine. But you cannot stay here. Now get going!”

Sylvia:
“But…”

Claude:
“You can’t stay with us. It’s too dangerous!”

Sylvia:
“…Claude, I love you.”

Claude:
“I love you too, but…”

Sylvia:
“No! I’m not goin’. No way I’m leavin’ your side!”

Claude:
“Sylvia, I can’t allow that! Please understand.”

Sylvia with Levin

Sylvia:
“Hey, Levin!”

Levin:
“Hey, Sylvia. What’s up?”

Sylvia:
“You still like me?”

Levin:
“C’mon. Give me a break, will you?”

Sylvia:
“Well, do ya?”

Levin:
“Yeah, I like you. That’s why we hooked up.”

Sylvia:
“Good! That’s all I wanted to hear! ’cause I looooooove you! You are the only one… for me… Da-la-laa… la-la-laa!”

“Sylvia! You mind bringin’ it down a notch?”

Sylvia with Alec

Sylvia:
“Alec, I’ve been lookin’ all over for ya.”

Alec:
“Sylvia? You can’t be out here! Now get on back to the castle, will ya?”

Sylvia:
“But I was gettin’ all worried ’bout you.”

Alec:
“C’mon, Sylvia. You gotta start actin’ a bit more grown up. You are a full-blown mother now.”

Sylvia:
“Don’t talk to me like you’re my father or somethin’! It was all your fault anyway.”

Alec:
“Hey now! I think the, ah… willingness on both sides led to our little surprise, don’t you?”

Sylvia:
“Yeah, right. Well, hurry back. Leen and I can’t live without ya forever. Okay? You gotta promise!”

Alec:
“Yeah, I promise. I’ll come for you.”

Lachesis with Beowulf

Lachesis:
“Beowulf…”

Beowulf:
“Lachesis, if anything were to happen to me, I want you to go to Lenster. Fin is there with Cuan’s children. Give him a hand, okay?”

Lachesis:
“How could you say that? When we go, we’ll go together!”

Beowulf:
“Lachesis, I’ve got a confession to make.”

Lachesis:
“Hm?”

Beowulf:
“I’ve known your true feelings all along.”

Lachesis:
“What…!”

Beowulf:
“Take good care of yourself. It was mighty nice while it lasted.”

Lachesis:
“Wait! Beowolf!”

Lachesis with Noish

Lachesis:
“Noish, wait!”

Noish:
“Lachesis? You’re still here!? I told you to leave for Lenster.”

Lachesis:
“I sent the kids already, but I’m staying to fight.”

Noish:
“Why are you breaking your word with me? The kids need their mother. What if something were to happen to you? And you have King Eltshan’s child to consider, too.”

Lachesis:
“I don’t know where Aless is anymore.”

Noish:
“Well, Sir Sigurd is very concerned about Prince Aless. That boy has lost both of his parents. Aless must mean something to you, as well.”

Lachesis:
“No, it’s just… Ah, nevermind. Look, I am your wife.”

Noish:
“I know you are, and I love you dearly. Don’t you ever forget it.”

Lachesis:
“I won’t. Sorry.”

Lachesis with Dew

Lachesis:
“Dew, what are you doing here!?”

Dew:
“What gives? I can handle bein’ here now. I’m not the same Dew anymore.”

Lachesis:
“I know. But this next battle isn’t going to be like the others! It’ll be way out of your league, Dew.”

Dew:
“Everyone’s been sayin’ that crap. I’m not a kid anymore!”

Lachesis:
“I can definitely vouch for that, Dew. Heheh… Especially after what we…”

Dew:
“H, hey! You’re gettin’ red there, girl!”

Lachesis:
“Oh, Dew!”

Dew:
“Lachesis, it’s been great bein’ with you. You’re always nice to me.”

Lachesis:
“Same goes to you, Dew.”

Ira with Lex

Ira:
“Lex, things are coming to a peak, aren’t they.”

Lex:
“Yep, looks that way. Ira, you are being damn stubborn. Why don’t you go back to Isaac?”

Ira:
“Why? Because I’m a girl!? Our responsibility to our children is the same in my book.”

Lex:
“Oops… you got me. Sorry. But you had the perfect chance to get out. Our kids are only…”

Ira:
“Yeah, and that’s why we’ll go together, after we finish this war.”

Lex:
“Right… right. C’mon, let’s go!”

Ira:
“Lex, I’m sorry, but this is the only way I know how to be.”

Lex:
“Hahaha! I know. I’m just teasin’. That’s what I like about you, Ira. I don’t know how things are going to turn out, Ira, but I’m in for the long haul.”

Ira with Holyn

Ira:
“Holyn, things are coming to a peak, aren’t they.”

Holyn:
“Uh…”

Ira:
“Holyn, I’ve got something I want to ask you. Is that alright?”

Holyn:
“Yeah, what is it?”

Ira:
“Why do you look out for me? Is there something you haven’t told me?”

Holyn:
“Ira, I’ve known you since I was a kid. Keeping you safe means everything to me.”

Ira:
“Eh!? Holyn… Hey, you weren’t that boy from…”

Holyn:
“Yep. I’m the son of the lord of Sophara. You stole my heart at a tender young age, Ira.”

Ira with Arden

Ira:
“Ardan, you alright?”

Arden:
“Whew… I’m beat. This armour’s dang heavy.”

Ira:
“Heh! But you look very manly. I like that about you.”

Arden:
“Oh! That’s nice of ya t’say.  I like you for bein’ all womanly like.”

Ira:
“Me? Womanly? That’s almost funny.”

Arden:
“Yeah well, I think so at least. You’re the perdiest girl I can think of.”

Ira:
“Arden, are you sick or something?”

Arden:
“I might as well just blurt it out… Ira, I love you.”

Ira:
“What’s that!?”

Briggid with Alec

Briggid:
“Alec, we’re almost to Barhara.”

Alec:
“Yeah. This is our grand return, huh.”

Briggid:
“I wonder if I’ll be okay returning to the country I was born in. What is Jungby like?”

Alec:
“Ahh… it’s a beautiful place with loads of beautiful women.”

Briggid:
“Alec! I better not catch you cheating on me!”

Alec:
“No way! You’d kill me if I did! Haha…”

Briggid:
“That’s right! Besides, I want to keep you alive now. Your work with me has just begun! And for our children as well… I can’t let you die!”

Alec:
“Don’t worry, I’ve got luck on my side. How else could I get such a beautiful bride!”

Briggid:
“Alec…”

Briggid with Jamka

Briggid:
“Jamka, you okay? You must be beat.”

Jamka:
“Ah… I’m alright. How about you?”

Briggid:
“I’m fine as long as you’re with me.”

Jamka:
“Briggid, you know I don’t want you fighting. You won’t consider calling it quits?”

Briggid:
“No! I will not call it quits! And it’s too late to turn back now, anyway.”

Jamka:
“Alright… alright.”

Briggid:
“Jamka, are you happy with me?”

Jamka:
“Huh?”

Briggid:
“Are you happy with me? Because I know Aideen meant something…”

Jamka:
“Briggid! Would you quit it!? I fell in love with you! And that’ll never change!”

Briggid:
“Ah… S, sorry, Jamka. But I’m glad I asked…”

Briggid with Midayle

Briggid:
“Midayle, are you alright?”

Midayle:
“Yes, I’m fine. How are you doing, Briggid?”

Briggid:
“I’m fine as long as you’re with me.”

Midayle:
“Briggid, I’m very happy I met you and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.”

Briggid:
“Midayle, you sound like you want to break up or something.”

Midayle:
“Ah, forgive me. Briggid, I wanted you to understand something.”

Briggid:
“Look, Midayle. I know you used to like Adean. Do you think you’ll be happy with me?”

Midayle:
“Of course! Yes, I used to like Adean… Like. But you are the only one I’ve ever loved.”

Briggid:
“Midayle, thanks! Don’t ever leave me.”
