Gustave, Annette. The success of this plan lies on your shoulders.
link Annette volume_up
We've got this, Your Majesty! I swear we'll make my uncle see the light!
link Dimitri volume_up
Gustave. The success of this plan lies on your shoulders.
link Gustave volume_up
Understood, Your Majesty. I will convince my brother, I promise you that.

You sure about this, Dimitri? I probably shouldn't be saying this in front of the baron's relatives, but...
link Felix volume_up
The western lords could end up convincing Baron Dominic to lead them once more. Killing him now could spare us a storm of grief later.
link Dimitri volume_up
It would be quicker, I'll admit that. But convincing him to join our cause will pay dividends later on. I'm sure of it.

Not to mention that the baron's eldest son possesses a Crest of his own.
link Rodrigue volume_up
Even if the father falls, what's to stop the other lords from promoting his heir as their standard bearer?
link Dimitri volume_up
That's exactly why I'd rather this end with Baron Dominic as an ally, not a corpse.
link Dimitri volume_up
But first, we'll need to whittle down the armies of the other western lords. Only then can we seek an opportunity to reach him.
link Shez volume_up
Dimitri. We should get moving.
link Shez volume_up
Dimitri. We should get moving.
link Dimitri volume_up
Right you are.
link Dimitri volume_up
Our numbers in this battle will be few—much of our army is off defending Arianrhod from the Empire.
link Dimitri volume_up
In other words, this fight shall not be an easy one. But we cannot afford to fail, and I will need all of your help to ensure we do not.
link Shez volume_up
Heh, I wonder what the Dimitri of a few months ago would say if he could hear you now.
link Shez volume_up
Heh, I wonder what the Dimitri of a few months ago would say if he could hear you now.
link Shez volume_up
For what it's worth, I like this version of you better. You seem more...at ease.
link Shez volume_up
For what it's worth, I like this version of you better. You seem more at ease.
link Dimitri volume_up
At ease, hm? Yes, perhaps I am.
link Arval volume_up
Look at you go, actually making friends. I can tell this has been quite a fulfilling time for you.
link Arval volume_up
Not to say I'm not pleased, myself. I only hope you haven't forgotten your true purpose among all this camaraderie.
link Shez volume_up
The Ashen Demon.
link Shez volume_up
The Ashen Demon.
link Arval volume_up
If you ever hope to reach the highest of heights, you need a powerful aspiration driving you forward.
link Arval volume_up
You know, when we first met I was struck by the undeniable might of your will.
link Arval volume_up
Such strength laid bare the tremendous potential you hold for growth.
link Arval volume_up
But if you lose sight of your driving purpose, the growth I hope so dearly for you may not, in fact, come to pass.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, Arval.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, Arval.
link Arval volume_up
Yes?
link Shez volume_up
Don't you think you're getting a bit too obsessed with this little grudge match?
link Shez volume_up
Don't you think you're getting a bit too obsessed with this little grudge match?
link Arval volume_up
Maybe so. Though I don't believe that's all there is to it.
link Shez volume_up
And my purpose—why can't we just say it's fighting for Dimitri and call it a day?
link Shez volume_up
And my purpose—why can't we just say it's fighting for Dimitri and call it a day?
link Shez volume_up
Right now that's just as important to me as surpassing the Ashen Demon. Maybe even more so.

link Arval volume_up
Hm.
link Shez volume_up
Arval. Out with it.
link Shez volume_up
Arval. Out with it.
link Arval volume_up
I suppose it just feels like our destiny. Like it's something we're meant to do.
