Chapter 19: Remorse and
Retaliation
On the World Map
The next day after Dorias departed for Alster, Leaf gathered the
remaining troops and prepared to leave as well.
However, just as he was about to start on his way, one of Dorias'
messengers came rushing to him back from Alster.
His words were the beginning of a long and difficult task for
Leaf...
Opening Cutscene
Leaf:
"August, are we ready to head for Alster?"
August:
"Prince, someone has arrived at the castle. Probably one
of Count
Dorias' messengers..."
Messenger:
"Prince Leaf! ...Forgive us..."
Leaf:
"What? What happened?"
Messenger:
"The Imperial Army struck back at us... We
were...decimated..."
Leaf:
"What!? What about Dorias? Where is he!"
Messenger:
"Count Dorias... He charged at the enemy to make time
for our
escape, and he...fell..."
Leaf:
"!!"
Messenger:
"If only we were stronger... Forgive us, Lord
Leaf!"
Leaf:
"That... That can't be..."
August:
"Lord Leaf, our troops are retreating. We must hurry, or
we will
be annihilated for good. We need to lead our troops to
safety..."
Leaf:
"How...could this happen..."
August:
"Prince! Get a hold of yourself! If we let our
troops die
out, Count Dorias' death will be for nothing! We must
rescue as many
troops as we can!"
(Scene switches to Blume)
Blume:
"You filthy maggots, no one stands before the Empire and
survives! I shall leave the rest to you, Wolf. Swear
to the Freejis that you
will recapture Lenster!"
Wolf:
"Yes, my lord!"
(Scene switches to Conomore)
Conomore:
"Many of our people have died... But as long as I stay
alive, so
will Alster..."
(Scene switches to Amalda)
Amalda:
"Protecting my troops is my duty... But...is this
right...?
Please tell me, Father Sleuf... What must I do...?"
Conversation (Miranda, Conomore)
Miranda:
"Conomore! Stop!"
Conomore:
"Princess Miranda!? What are you doing here?"
Miranda:
"I was rescued by Prince Leaf. He tried to save Alster
for
me...and he lost many of his troops and a close advisor.
But what are you
doing! You have Alster's elite troops, and yet you tag
along behind the Empire?"
Conomore:
"Yes... Forgive me, my lady..."
Miranda:
"Our enemy is not Lenster. The Empire is our hated
foe.
Command your troops to aid the Lenster Army's escape!
Alster will now join the
Northern Thracian Liberation Army under the command of Prince
Leaf!"
Conomore:
"Yes, my lady. Reporting to all troops! We are
now joining
the Liberation Army. Aid their escape with all your
strength! We
will go under the protection of Lenster until we recapture
Alster. This is a
direct order from Princess Miranda herself!"
Conversation (Sleuf, Amalda)
Sleuf:
"Lady Amalda, please withdraw your blade. It is me,
Sleuf."
Amalda:
"Father Sleuf... What are you doing here?"
Sleuf:
"I have come for you, my lady. The Liberation Army is
waiting for
you."
Amalda:
"Are you telling me to betray my country? I can't do
that, Father
Sleuf... I wouldn't be suffering like this if I could."
Sleuf:
"Lady Amalda, a nation isn't the personal property of the king
and
nobility. If they have been misled, it is the knight's duty to
see to it
that their paths be corrected. Are you going to let your
country do
wrong for fear of being labeld a traitor?"
Amalda:
"No... But when I think about what will happen to my
troops..."
Sleuf:
"...You are a kind lady. However, what they do is up to
them. You should follow your own heart more freely."
Amalda:
"...Very well, Father Sleuf. I will join the Liberation
Army. I will rescue the kidnapped children! That is
my only wish!"
Fighting Wolf
Wolf:
"Do you wish to fall before my blade as well?"
Defeating Wolf
Wolf:
"Gwah...! How...could I..."
Fighting Amalda
Amalda:
"Withdraw your blade! There is no need to die for
nothing!"
Defeating Amalda
Amalda:
"It's all right... This is how...a blood-covered murdurer
like
me...should die..."
Releasing Amalda
Amalda:
"What... What am I doing..."
Fighting Conomore
Conomore:
"For Alster!"
Defeating Conomore
Conomore:
"May Alster...rise to glory...once again..."
Releasing Conomore
Conomore:
"So I am to live in shame... But I must live all the
same..."
After Leaf escapes
August:
"The Empire is starting a full-scale assault. We can't
defend out
here...we should retreat to the castle for now."
Leaf:
"August, this is my mistake. I was so foolish...
Dorias...it's like I killed him."
August:
"This isn't the time for that, Lord Leaf. You can
apologize to
Count Dorias all you want, after we defend Lenster from the
Empire."
Leaf:
"Yes..."
August:
"Don't look like that, we have good news as well. I hear
that a
large rebellion has erupted in the east in Isaac, and that they
are
fighting well against the Empire. Do you know who the
leader of the
rebels is?"
Leaf:
"Prince Shanan of Isaac, right? Finn told me about
him.
He's an honorable man, skilled with his sword and loved by his
people. What a
difference from me..."
August:
"Yes, Prince Shanan is with them. But their leader is
smeone
else."
Leaf:
"What?"
August:
"Lord Celice of Chalphy... The Isaacians call him the
'Child of
Light.'"
Leaf:
"Lord Celice!? ...Really?"
August:
"Yes. Ah, Lord Celice's father was your uncle. Lord
Sigurd... He was called a villain just a decade ago, but
now he's quite popular. He
recognized the schemes of the Emperor before anyone else, and
died fighting to
protect the world. Bards spread his story far and wide, and
now he's
become a legendary hero. And his son, Lord Celice, is
fighting to fulfill his
father's wishes... The people are overjoyed. They wouldn't
hesitate to give
their lives to his cause. It's the perfect
scenario."
Leaf:
"...What are you trying to say?"
August:
"What I'm saying is that Lord Celice didn't earn his fame on
his
own. The times require a hero, and someone is setting him
up to be
one. Heroes aren't born, Lord Leaf. They are
made."
Leaf:
"Does that mean I was made by you?"
August:
"Think what you will. ...But I will say this. Count
Dorias
lost his arm to protect you in the past. And now he has
lost his life to
save yours. Why did this happen? Why are you being
kept alive to that
extent? Why are you being called a hero at all? Think
about that, Lord Leaf..."
(If you let all the civilians escape)
August:
"The prince does not wish to see anyone at the moment. I
will
relay any messages you have for him."
Man:
"We are fugitives from Alster. Your army saved us from being
captured by the Empire. We were thinking that we would give
you this
Knight's Proof as a symbol of our gratitude..."
August:
"Very well. I will give it to the prince."
Man:
"Thank you."
