- Ah, Garreg Mach! You remain ever as resplendent as
[cdb]the day I left you!
- The place cannot be so dear to your heart that it
[cdb]requires inferior poetry for an introduction.
- Inferior?! I will have you know that line comes from
[cdb]one of my favorite operas.
- However, I concede I may have gotten carried away,
[cdb]what with my head still swimming from battle.
- I know exactly what you mean. Something about
Garreg Mach is just...special.
- And our victory here is gonna have a huge impact on
[cdb]the war, right?
- Yes, this should be enough to lure some of the more
[cdb]indecisive nobles into our camp.
- I only wish I could vanquish the guilt I feel for
[cdb]turning on the church like this...
- Still, it was my decision to fight by Edie's side, and I
[cdb]stand by it to the end.
- I see. In that case, proceed as planned. Deploy the
[cdb]pursuit units immediately.
- At once, Your Majesty.
- So, Rhea and the others escaped with the help of a
[cdb]great white beast, did they?
- Almost as if the Immaculate One that saved Saint
Seiros has returned from the mists of legend.
- Although it's a bit unnerving the way it sprung
[cdb]out of nowhere.
- I knew we shouldn't have messed with Lady Rhea.
She can be so scary!
- I'm just going to go back to my room and stay there
[cdb]until forever, OK? OK.
- Do as you like, Bernadetta, but realize your father
[cdb]will be arriving in Garreg Mach soon.
- This is the seat of the Church of Seiros, and as bishop,
[cdb]his place is here.
- R-really?
- In that case, I think I'll just forget about the
[cdb]monastery and go with you.
- Good. Just be aware we may be marching for the
Kingdom next.
- The Kingdom? I possess no love for the cold,
[cdb]but I will try to grin as I am bearing it.
- Point at the path to your foes, and I will be hunting
[cdb]them to their final breath.
- Don't get ahead of yourself, Petra. Whether we
[cdb]capture or kill will depend on the foe.
- Now then, enough wasting time. We need to find
Rhea, and we need her alive.
- Two years ago, I never would've imagined we'd be
[cdb]fighting a war like this.
- Two years ago, I never would've imagined we'd be
[cdb]fighting a war like this.
- You say "fighting," but I think you mean "instigating."
Let's be fully clear about our role in all of this.
- Still, this is a positive turn of events for you, yes?
- How do you mean?
- How do you mean?
- When a war breaks out, every mercenary in the land
[cdb]starts crawling out of the woodwork.
- And those associates you happen to be working with
[cdb]should be tough enough to take on...you know who.
- Nod in agreement.
- Scold Arval.
- Jeralt's Mercenaries? Yeah, good point.
- Jeralt's Mercenaries? Yeah, good point.
- They're not just "associates." They didn't have to
[cdb]trust a down-and-out mercenary like me, but they
[cdb]did anyway—and that makes them friends.
- They're not just "associates." They didn't have to
[cdb]trust a down-and-out mercenary like me, but they
[cdb]did anyway—and that makes them friends.
- Still, you're probably right. This'll be a great chance
[cdb]to drive Jeralt's Mercenaries out into the open.
- Still, you're probably right. This'll be a great chance
[cdb]to drive Jeralt's Mercenaries out into the open.
- And then you can give them their just deserts or die
[cdb]trying!
- Could've done without that last part, thanks!
- Could've done without that last part, thanks!
- Relax, relax! You know I'm on your side.
Our destinies are forever intertwined.
