I hate to say it, but it seems we're at a stalemate. Looks like the Golden Deer won't be winning this round...

Sorry, but it's about time I make my exit... The rest of you...please, finish the job!

Attack: Byleth - Edelgard

Edelgard
volume_up

If you stand in my way, I will cut you down until you have no blood left to bleed.
Edelgard
volume_up

What? I was just trying to rally your spirits. Now, to victory!
link

Attack: Byleth - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

How far can I push myself with you as my foe... This will be a great chance to test our mettle.
Dimitri
volume_up

Do not underestimate me, Professor, or you will fail.
link

Attack: Byleth - Claude

Claude
volume_up

This is a great chance for me to find out if the Sword of the Creator really is all it's cracked up to be.
Claude
volume_up

On that note, you'd better not surrender too quickly!
link

Attack: Edelgard - Dimitri

Dimitri
volume_up

So, it is time to cross blades... I never imagined such a day would come to pass.
Edelgard
volume_up

If the Empire and the Kingdom go to war, we'll be able to fight as much as we please.
Dimitri
volume_up

I am sorry, but that is not something to joke about. The thought of fighting you is troubling at best.
Edelgard
volume_up

In that case, I wonder when you'll be able to stomach facing me in battle... Do you need a few moments?
link

Attack: Edelgard - Claude

Claude
volume_up

Hey, Princess! Heads up! There's a rat right by your Imperial feet...
Edelgard
volume_up

BAH! I— Huh. How dare you make a fool of me. You will not rile me with such childish tactics.
Claude
volume_up

Ah, so the sheer terror in your eyes was...something else entirely. My mistake. Anyway, it was only a joke.
Edelgard
volume_up

You really hope to unsettle me with childish jokes? It won't work. You must stand and fight!
link

Attack: Dimitri - Claude

Claude
volume_up

Hey, Your Royalness! If you promise to let me have the prize, I'll let you take the honor of victory. Do we have a deal?
Dimitri
volume_up

Enough of your foolishness! I— Wait a moment. You are trying to anger me, is that it?
Claude
volume_up

Saw right through me, did you? Well, if there's no deal, I'll just have to win this thing fair and square!
Dimitri
volume_up

I will happily face you, here and now. Do not hold back, Claude!
