Ah, Leopold! You've come!
link Leopold volume_up
Why did you bring Her Majesty out here? You said yourself she's not in good shape.
link Ludwig volume_up
It's what the situation demanded. We needed the emperor's might to drive the allied army away.
link Leopold volume_up
Did we now?
link Ludwig volume_up
Besides, the decision was not mine to make! But now is not the time for this idle chatter—I must be going!
link Ludwig volume_up
It is essential I escort the emperor to Garreg Mach.
link Ludwig volume_up
You shall stay behind to impede the enemy's advance. We cannot let any harm come to Her Majesty.
link Leopold volume_up
Somehow I doubt it's her safety you're worried about. But fine.
link Leopold volume_up
I've got my orders. You can go.
link Ludwig volume_up
My deepest thanks. This way, Your Majesty.

Adrestia's not gonna last much longer if that's how our emperor's looking.
link Leopold volume_up
If that's what you think, then flee. You're just a general—no noble rank to defend, nor a claim to one, otherwise.
link Leopold volume_up
Another life is out there for you, should you want it.
link Caspar volume_up
You're telling me to abandon the Empire? That's not like you.
link Caspar volume_up
Though I think Linhardt might be in the Kingdom.
link Caspar volume_up
That's definitely one way to go, but it's not really my style.
link Leopold volume_up
You're far too young to be throwing your life away. I wouldn't begrudge you such a decision.
link Caspar volume_up
Oh, c'mon. I'll land the decisive blow that'll turn this whole thing around.
link Leopold volume_up
Hm. Imagine a grand ship sailing on a vast sea, Caspar. One day, it crosses the path of a vicious storm and begins to sink.
link Leopold volume_up
Some panic and jump overboard. Others resign themselves to their fates and let the tempest do what it will.
link Leopold volume_up
Yet more rob their fellow sailors for meaningless plunder, while another group clings to the helm, searching desperately to reverse their fortunes.
link Caspar volume_up
Uh...
link Leopold volume_up
And us? We stand proud at the bow, serenading our crew as the waves lap at their feet.
link Leopold volume_up
Our voices are like thunder piercing through the chaos...stirring the hearts of all those who stand face to face with death.
link Caspar volume_up
I get it. I'm gonna scream my lungs out until I can't draw another breath.
link Caspar volume_up
Things might be bleak now, but they're gonna learn just what the Empire is all about.
link Leopold volume_up
Come, my son. It's time we show them the might of House Bergliez once and for all.
