Opening Cutscene

Asvel:
“Lord Sety, do you think the children are safe?”

Sety:
“I don’t think the Empire will send them to the capital until they’ve gathered more. Don’t worry, Asvel. We’re still in time.”

Asvel:
“Oh, good. Then let’s rescue them and send them back to their homes.”

Sety:
“Yes. But be careful, there are still a decent number of guards on watch.”

Asvel:
“Yes.”

Sety:
“After you rescue the children, I want you to go search for Prince Leaf with Brighton.”

Asvel:
“What? …Prince Leaf!?”

Sety:
“Right. He’s been captured by Reidric and locked in this castle. …What’s the matter, Asvel? You look surprised.”

Asvel:
“Lord Leaf is a very important person to me. I’ve been looking for him ever since we separated in Tahra. It’s been three years now…”

Sety:
“I see… Anyway, find the prince and escape Manster with him. I plan on getting the Magi members to hide outside the castle as well. We’ll only be decimated if we don’t do something.”

Asvel:
“What are you going to do, Lord Sety?”

Sety:
“I’m going to stay here a little longer. The remaining civilians must be helped as well.”

Asvel:
“I’m sorry… You’ve taught me so much, but I can’t be of any help to you…”

Sety:
“Don’t worry about it. The only thing I ever taught you was that Grafcalibur spell. You can use it to protect Prince Leaf from now on.”

Asvel:
“…Lord Sety, we’ll meet again, won’t we?”

Sety:
“If Prince Leaf is truly our hero, then Thracia will eventually be liberated. …We’ll see each other again, right here in Manster.”

Asvel:
“In Manster… Yes! In Manster, Lord Sety!”

(Scene switches to the children)

Girl:
“Sniff, sniff…”

Boy:
“Hey…you should stop crying…”

Girl:
“But…sniff…”

Boy:
“The soldiers’ll get mad and yell at us again to shut up…”

Girl:
“I don’t care! If I keep making them mad, maybe they’ll send me back home… I want to go home…”

Conversation (Asvel, Leaf)

Asvel:
“Lord Leaf! Finally! It’s me, Asvel!”

Leaf:
“Asvel!? What are you doing here? I thought you were in Tahra.”

Asvel:
“I went after you as soon as you left Tahra. But I lost track of you, and I’ve been here in Manster for half a year now…”

Leaf:
“As soon as I left!? …Then you’ve been searching for me for three years…?”

Asvel:
“Yes. Don’t you remember our promise? We vowed to reclaim Thracia together. But you left me and went off on your own, Lord Leaf.”

Leaf:
“I’m sorry… I had no choice. Tahra was surrounded by Imperial troops, and I was sure I was going to die. I never thought I would make it out of there alive… I didn’t want to put you in danger.”

Asvel:
“We swore to each other that we would live and die together, Lord Leaf… Was that an empty vow? I still remember it. And I’ve chosen to aid you as much as I can.”

Leaf:
“Asvel…”

Asvel:
“Lord Leaf, let’s reclaim Thracia. I’m willing to go through anything for that cause!”

Conversation (Karin, Sety)

Karin:
“Lord Sety! It is you!”

Sety:
“Hm? Karin…? What are you doing here? You left Ciledia?”

Karin:
“Yes! To look for you!”

Sety:
“To look for me? …Did Fee send you? Or was it my mother…”

Karin:
“…Lord Sety… I have something very important to tell you.”

Sety:
“What is it?”

Karin:
“Well… …Oh…”

Sety:
“Karin, what is it? Crying isn’t helping!”

Karin:
“Yes… The queen, she…”

Sety:
“Mother!? Did she…?”

Karin:
“Yes… It’s been two months already…”

Sety:
“I…see… So…mother died…”

Karin:
“Lord Sety…”

Sety:
“I was too late… I… I wanted her to see father just once more…”

Karin:
“Lord Sety, please return with me to Ciledia. Lady Fee is waiting for you.”

Sety:
“Fee… How is she doing? Is she all right…?”

Karin:
“She tries hard to hold back her tears in front of the others, but she cries and cries when she’s alone with me… You’re so cruel, Lord Sety. You push everything on little Lady Fee and go running off to a place like this… It’s natural to be called a hero when you take after Holsety. But you’re letting that get to your head and abandoning your mother and sister. And you call yourself the prince of Ciledia!”

Sety:
“Karin… You’re right. But my father was the only one who cure my mother’s illness. Even if I stayed by her side, there was nothing I could do except watch her fade away… That’s why I wanted to find my father no matter what.”

Karin:
“Then what are you doing in Manster?”

Sety:
“I heard my father was here until a half a year ago, but when I arrived, he had already left. But after seeing the terrible state of the people here, I couldn’t just leave them…”

Karin:
“I see… Forgive me, Lord Sety. I was harsh…”

Sety:
“Karin, can you give me a little more time? I’ll return to Ciledia once I drive Reidric out of this city. It shouldn’t take long. I just need another half a year…”

Karin:
“Then I shall stay here with you.”

Sety:
“I appreciate your concern, but… I can’t fight with you around. I want you to go back to Ciledia.”

Karin:
“…Yes… I would just be in the way, wouldn’t I… All right, I shall go back home. Please promise me that you’ll come back as well, Lord Sety.”

Sety:
“Yes, I swear to you that I’ll return. Here, I’ll give you this as a symbol of our promise.”

Karin:
“What is this? A rag?”

Sety:
“That’s a national treasure of Ciledia. It’s an old scroll left by the holy warrior Sety, and it has magical powers. I’m really supposed to give it to my bride, but I’ll give it to you for now.”

Karin:
“I-I can’t accept such a valuable item!”

Sety:
“Karin… I’m sorry about my mother. I’m also grateful that you took care of Fee for me. This is a symbol of my gratitude. Please take it.”

Karin:
“…Very well. But I’m only taking it for the time being. I’ll be sure to give it back once you return to Ciledia!”

Sety:
“Karin, we’ll meet again in Ciledia. Take care of yourself until then.”

Karin:
“Yes! You too, Lord Sety!”
