We've received a message from Margrave Gautier. It seems there's an emergency at the capital.
link Ingrid volume_up
No... I hope His Majesty is safe.
link Felix volume_up
Cornelia has arrived at the gates of Fhirdiad, leading the combined forces of the western lords.
link Sylvain volume_up
And here I thought we were keeping an eye on those guys. It seems they outsmarted us, though.
link Sylvain volume_up
If this message is anything to go by, they must've been hiding their tracks from us somehow.
link Felix volume_up
Sounds like they're outfitted with strange new weapons as well, which they used to threaten the citizens of the capital.
link Felix volume_up
And so, our fearless leader surrendered to the enemy to protect the people of Fhirdiad from harm. I'm not sure what's become of Dedue or my father.
link Annette volume_up
And what about my father? He was guarding the city with Duke Ifan.
link Felix volume_up
I haven't heard of any harm to Gustave, but we can't assume the same for the duke.
link Shez volume_up
I'm worried about Dedue and the others. I can only hope they're unharmed.

I agree, but they're not the sort who would abandon their duties to save their own skin.

Strange new weapons? Are the citizens safe?

link Felix volume_up
I believe so, for the time being. Though that's mere speculation, or maybe just a feeling.

In any case, if these lowlifes so much as thought about harming our people, the boar would break loose and make them pay.

We need to head north, Felix. There's no time to lose.

Right you are. We make for the capital!
link Arval volume_up
Such a selfless leader, sacrificing his own well-being for that of his people.
link Arval volume_up
It seems somewhere along the way he's actually become the kind-hearted king you took him for.
link Shez volume_up
Maybe. But if he does die, the people will be next.

link Arval volume_up
As if there's any avoiding that. Let's say he'd turned his back on his citizens and sought to prolong his own life instead...
link Arval volume_up
He would be reviled as a warmonger. One who sought conflict to protect his people, only to abandon them to the wolves when it mattered most.
link Arval volume_up
Commoners and lords alike would cast off their allegiance to him, and the Kingdom would plunge into chaos.
link Shez volume_up
Either way, there's no point speculating. If Dimitri dies now, it's all over.

Ah, the struggles of being a leader. Your choices certainly carry more weight than those of a simple mercenary.

Merc life's a walk in the park in comparison. All you have to care about is you and your company.

And if worst comes to worst, you can just drop everything and run for your life.

Not to say the profession doesn't have its own share of challenges. One's not necessarily harder than the other.
link Arval volume_up
But one thing is clear to me, at least. You'll never be cut out for the nobility.

I could do without the insults, thanks.
