Chapter 21x: The Detention Center



Opening Cutscene

Zaom:
“So Fort Danzhi has fallen…”

Soldier:
“…We have gotten word that the rebels have already taken control of it.”

Zaom:
“Hm, in that case, it will only be a matter of time before they come here. If they do attack us, we will proceed as planned. Understood?”

Soldier:
“Yes, sir.”

(Scene switches to Leaf)

Leaf:
“This is the Empire’s detention center…”

August:
“It is said that captives from all over Thracia are sent here. Those captured from our army are probably being held here as well. We must hurry, or everything will be lost…”

Leaf:
“What do you mean?”

August:
“I received a report earlier that a large Lopto army is approaching us…”

Leaf:
“The Schwarze Rosen…! You’re right, we should rescue the captives as quickly as we can.”

(Scene switches back to Zaom)

Zaom:
“What!? You let the enemy in!? All right, we have no choice. Execute the prisoners! Kill them all off!”

30th Turn

Schwarze Rosensoldier:
“The rebels are still here… Make them bow down before Lopto’s wrath!”

Fighting Zaom

Zaom:
“You won’t leave alive!”

Defeating Zaom

Zaom:
“Guh! No…”

After Leaf escapes

Yurius:
“So this fort has fallen, too… And Blume seems to be struggling in Conort as well. Hmph… I suppose this is all one can expect from the Freejis.”

Ishtar:
“…I’m sorry.”

Yurius:
“It isn’t your fault… But I won’t let you go to Conort. I need you, Ishtar.”

Ishtar:
“Yes… But where are we to go?”

Yurius:
“Miletos. Hilda has been getting on my case…”

Ishtar:
“My mother…? Why?”

Yurius:
“She wants me to look at her work so far with the child hunting. She seems to be quite happy that I left Miletos in her hands.”

Ishtar:
“…Mother…”

Yurius:
“Miletos would be a perfect place to stay. Let’s see… Ah, I’ll buy you a beautiful silken dress. And…a ruby tiara to go with it. I’m sure Hilda will throw a splendid party for us. And I’m going to show you beautifully dressed up and surprise everyone there. Doesn’t that sound wonderful, Ishtar? Ishtar, my love…”

Ishtar:
“Yurius…”

Yurius:
“Oh, Ishtar. Don’t let that Rinehart come near us any more.”

Ishtar:
“Rinehart!? But he has been my personal guard since I was a
child. I need him.”

Yurius:
“I don’t care about that. I don’t like him… I don’t like the way he looks at you. If he appears in front of me again, I’ll kill him!”

Ishtar:
“! …Very well… I will send Rinehart back to the castle. So please don’t…”

Yurius:
“Hmph, that’s right. Now come, Ishtar. Let us be off!”
