Our victory at Gronder was certainly a turning point for us.

However... Rodrigue's death has been difficult to bear. We've lost considerable military strength and resources.

Sylvain

Unfortunately, with things as they are now, I don't think House Gautier has any resources to spare.

Ingrid
volume_up

I'm sorry. I really wish we could help. If only House Galatea had anything to give...

Gilbert
volume_up

It is a difficult thing to ask at present. Our allied lords each have their own troubles to contend with...

Gilbert
volume_up

If we split up the soldiers currently defending the monastery, we should have sufficient numbers to invade the Empire. But even then...

Dedue

Your Highness! You should be resting. Your wounds are still healing...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Your Highness... How are you feeling? Are your wounds on the mend?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I am well, I assure you. More importantly...may I have a moment of your time?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Thank you.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I wish to apologize. To all of you. I have led you down this dark path with me, and have caused so much suffering along the way...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for my behavior. There is no apology I could offer that would be sufficient.

Felix
volume_up

Hmph. And how do you intend to make up for my father's death?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Felix... I realize words alone are not enough to repent, but I fear they are all I have.
link
Felix
volume_up

I'm not after more empty words. I want you to speak through your actions.
link
Felix
volume_up

Hmph. More empty words.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I know that no amount of regret can ever bring back the lives we have lost. I... I know that well.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It is like patching up a tear with a different material. Things can never be as they were. The best I can hope for is to make things whole again.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I wish to do the right thing from now on. That is why I have made a decision...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I intend to take back the Kingdom capital. I wish to save our people, those who I turned my back on for far too long.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

To follow my heart and do the right thing... That is the only way I can atone for my sins.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Your Highness...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

If we can win back Fhirdiad, it will give us the advantage in our war against the Empire.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

As one who has served the royal family for ages, know that your words bring me great joy. And pride.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

That said, I must point out that if we make for Fhirdiad, the emperor's head will slip further out of reach. Can you live with that?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I still hold hatred in my heart for her and for the ones responsible for the tragedy... That, I will carry with me until death.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But...my life is my own. It belongs to no one else, and it is high time that I started living for what I believe in.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I will no longer allow the voices of the dead to bind me. This is something that I must do... No. Something that I am choosing to do.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I will accomplish my aim, even if it means risking my life to do so.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Understood, Your Highness. So? Any objections?
link
Seteth
volume_up

You are correct. We cannot afford to die in vain by recklessly challenging the Empire.
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

If you agree, Professor, then the Knights of Seiros will comply as well.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'm worried about Lady Rhea...but if this is the choice you've made, I support it.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I am at your command, Your Highness. I will follow you anywhere.
link
Ashe
volume_up

My sword is at your service, Your Highness.
link
Annette
volume_up

I'll help too! The people in Fhirdiad need us!
link
Felix
volume_up

Fine. I'll help you...in my father's stead.
link
Felix
volume_up

But in return, you must win. You know that, don't you...Dimitri?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I do. And I swear on my father's lance that we will prevail.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Then it is decided. It seems this war council has much to discuss.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Our next stop is Fhirdiad, the Kingdom Capital. For the future of Faerghus!
