0. Hey, did you hear? Sounds like we're gonna be [cdb]going to war with the Empire.
1. Yeah, I'm aware.
2. Yeah, I'm aware.
3. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, [cdb]we've been fighting battle after battle through every [cdb]corner of Faerghus...
4. But I never thought we'd be going toe-to-toe with [cdb]the actual Empire! I'd be nervous, if it even felt real.
5. Motivate her.
6. Sympathize with her.
7. Don't worry, it'll start feeling very real, very quick [cdb]once the swords start swinging.
8. Don't worry, it'll start feeling very real, very quick [cdb]once the swords start swinging.
9. You know, that might be the single worst attempt at [cdb]motivational speaking I've ever heard. Not that I'm [cdb]much surprised, at this point.
10. Yeah. I'm not opposed to the war or anything, [cdb]but I have a weird feeling about this too.
11. Yeah. It's not like I'm opposed to the war, [cdb]but I have a weird feeling about this too.
12. You, uneasy? I didn't even think that was possible! But I suppose you learn something new every day.
13. I can't help but wonder though. What happens to Faerghus now?
14. I feel like things have been steadily improving lately, [cdb]but not everyone favors His Majesty as I do.
15. Yeah, I hear the grumbles too. But there's not a ruler [cdb]in the world who doesn't have their fair share of [cdb]critics, right?
16. Yeah, I hear the grumbles too. But there's not a ruler [cdb]in the world who doesn't have their fair share of [cdb]critics, right?
17. All I know is we wouldn't be where we are now if not [cdb]for him.
18. All I know is we wouldn't be where we are now if not [cdb]for him.
19. I mean, look at me. Saddled with some mysterious [cdb]power we don't know anything about, and he still [cdb]chose to put his faith in me.
20. I mean, look at me. Saddled with some mysterious [cdb]power we don't know anything about, and he still [cdb]chose to put his faith in me.
21. It's only right I return the favor in kind. Oh, and [cdb]speak of the devil.
22. It's only right I return the favor in kind. Oh, and [cdb]speak of the devil.
23. Am I interrupting something?
24. No, of course not! Please, allow me to take my leave! Your Majesty, Commander!
25. Sooo, you heard all that, huh?
26. So, you heard all that, huh?
27. More or less. I apologize for the interruption, [cdb]but there's an urgent matter at hand.
28. Anything I can do to help?
29. Anything I can do to help?
30. There is. As you know, we've offered asylum to the Central Church in their efforts to flee the Empire.
31. As such, we are to escort the archbishop herself to [cdb]the royal capital at once.
32. I expect heavy pursuit from the Imperial forces, [cdb]so I am assembling a team of those I trust most to [cdb]assist in the mission.
33. Of course, I'll be leading my own regiment into [cdb]battle, but I was wondering if you'd be willing [cdb]to accompany me.
34. What, is that it? I'd be glad to. How are things [cdb]looking at Garreg Mach, while we're on the subject?
35. What, is that it? I'd be glad to. How are things [cdb]looking at Garreg Mach, while we're on the subject?
36. Grim. Neither the Knights of Seiros nor the [cdb]monastery ramparts are capable of holding off [cdb]the Empire's massive military might.
37. I dare say we have precious little time to waste. Prepare to deploy at once.
