Under the Protection of the Golden Deer

link Lysithea volume_up
The bandits have completely taken over the town.

Arena Master volume_up
Then we will just have to take it back one street at a time. Let us split up and work on capturing each area.

link Lysithea volume_up
We'll seize every last stronghold!

Arena Master volume_up
Hahaha! These bandits are no match for nobles such as ourselves!

link Lysithea volume_up
Yet they also lack the scruples of nobility. We should proceed with caution.

link Lysithea volume_up
I don't sense anyone from those who slither in the dark here.

link Lysithea volume_up
I had thought perhaps you did not like my father, Count Gloucester.

Arena Master volume_up
An understandable impression—we did tend to get into heated arguments at the roundtable.

Arena Master volume_up
Your father and I have strong opinions about how best to protect our own territories and peoples. We are like-minded in that way.

link Lysithea volume_up
Yes, I see that now.

link Lysithea volume_up
I understand that you often quarreled with the other lords at the roundtable as well.

Arena Master volume_up
My quarrels with the other lords were mere petty bickering. Only with your father could I exchange ideas on equal footing.

Arena Master volume_up
I must say, I've been rather worried about your father. I rarely saw him at the roundtable since his illness.

link Lysithea volume_up
Your concern is appreciated. Sadly, I think his long years of overwork have finally caught up with him.

Arena Master volume_up
Not bad at all, my friend. A shame that you were born a mere commoner.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Heard a guy could really let loose here! Hope we ain't too late for all the fun.

link Lysithea volume_up
Let us show them that the rule of law still holds strong in Ordelia!

Arena Master volume_up
They're actually trying to reclaim the strongholds? These brigands need a lesson on when to cut their losses and go home.

Arena Master volume_up
It is a noble's duty to protect the commoner. I told my son he must never forget that.

link Lysithea volume_up
And he remains dedicated to that ideal. Perhaps a little too dedicated.

Arena Master volume_up
By the by, Lysithea, is my son making himself useful in the Federation army?

link Lysithea volume_up
Indeed he is. The man's fervor is rivaled only by that of the king himself.

Arena Master volume_up
That should do it. Let us take care of the other bandits now.

<<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
There's still fun to be had if we can hold this place—so if ya want it, come and take it!

link Lysithea volume_up
I won't let you fiends abuse this town for one minute more!

link Lysithea volume_up
They've taken the civic building! We must reclaim it with all speed.

link Lysithea volume_up
Cease this futility!

link Lysithea volume_up
You cannot defeat us!

link Lysithea volume_up
You should've given up when you had the chance.

??? volume_up
We got nowhere left to run if we lose here... Plant your feet and fight to the death!

link Lysithea volume_up
Did they really think we would let them claim this town?

Arena Master volume_up
Lysithea, please be careful. I could never face your father should something happen to you.

link Lysithea volume_up
Your concern is appreciated, but unnecessary. Our victory here is assured.

link Lysithea volume_up
Just one more!

link Lysithea volume_up
Yes! We've done it!

Arena Master volume_up
You did well, Lysithea—perhaps even better than myself.

link Lysithea volume_up
Thank you for your assistance.

Arena Master volume_up
Not at all. I'm glad the town is safe once more.

link Lysithea volume_up
Good. That should make it easier for us to move about.
