So that is what transpired...

This is, indeed, the Chalice of Beginnings. It matches the descriptions in the few records of it that remain.

Don't beat around the bush. What's our punishment?

Rhea
volume_up

You removed a most sacred treasure. Truly it is my obligation to mete out punishment for that transgression. However...

Rhea

You also helped the church locate a valuable artifact. In light of this good deed, I shall forgive the bad one.

Rhea

I do wonder...

What's on your mind?

Rhea

I am wondering whether your presence had anything to do with the artifact's unbinding, Professor.

As per the church chronicles, the Four Apostles secured the chalice with powerful magic.

Rhea

The only way to release the chalice is by using the four Crests passed down through their bloodlines.
link
Rhea
volume_up

However, given the special power you possess, perhaps you were able to unlock it yourself.
link
Rhea
volume_up

There is no knowing at present. For the time being, I will keep the chalice somewhere safe.

As for Aelfric, I assure you that the knights will find and return him in due time.
link
Rhea
volume_up

I consider him to be one of my many children, after all. I will not allow harm to befall him.

Lady Rhea, might I ask a moment of your time? We cannot be expected to give up our endeavor!
link
Constance
volume_up

The enemy stated most clearly that if the knights are involved, our dear Aelfric is finished!
link
Constance
volume_up

We owe him so much. If there is any possibility that his life is in danger, the risk is too great to chance!

Hapi

True. The knights are strong and all, but they're liable to get him killed.

Hapi

We can take care of it. With Chatterbox's help.

Balthus

Our professor has the strength of a hundred knights, or about one and a half of me. We've got this. How about it, Rhea?
link
Balthus
volume_up

We've been through too damned much to get here. Leave the chalice and Aelfric to us. You won't regret it.
link
Yuri

Lady Rhea... Please.

Rhea

Hmm...

Rhea

If you consent to join your power with theirs... Yes, perhaps there is hope.

If you join your power with theirs... Yes, perhaps there is hope.

Rhea

As you wish. I shall entrust you with the chalice.

Your Grace, the chalice is a legendary treasure!

You can't just hand it over to those underground—
link
Rhea
volume_up

That is quite enough. There is no cause to worry, I assure you. There will be no further discussion on the matter.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Even if we lost hold of the chalice, it would be impossible for the thieves to make use of it.
link
Rhea
volume_up

Though it was created to return a life that was lost, I doubt that anyone alive knows how to accomplish that feat.

If someone were to successfully replicate the ritual... it would perhaps be the work of fate.
