Thank you so much! We're safe now and it's all due to your efforts!

I can't bear to think what might have happened if you hadn't shown up.

Raphael

Yay! A happy ending for everyone!

Thank you so much! We're safe now, but it's a shame we weren't all lucky enough to escape...

We might've all met the same fate if you hadn't shown up.

Raphael

I'm real sorry we couldn't save everyone...

You there! Did you just fight off those monsters?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

We did. You're one of the merchants, right?
link
Merchant
volume_up

That's right. I fled to look for help, but it seems I'm too late.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I'm real sorry we couldn't help your friends... But I'm glad you made it out OK.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

If you don't mind me asking...were you headed to the Riegan Dukedom?
link
Merchant
volume_up

We were. We traveled around the Alliance selling our wares. I heard this route was dangerous, but...
link
Ignatz
volume_up

"Dangerous," you say. Are you referring to the recent cases of merchants being attacked on that route?
link
Merchant
volume_up

That's right. We can't turn a profit without going to Derdriu. I don't know what Count Gloucester is thinking.
link
This is the count's doing?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I had a feeling it might be. You're certain?
link
Merchant
volume_up

Looks that way. I think he's unhappy with merchants contributing to House Riegan's wealth.
link
Merchant
volume_up

It seems like he's been at odds with them forever. They say even the previous Duke Riegan's death...
link
Raphael
volume_up

Was that the count's fault too?
link
Merchant
volume_up

It's only a rumor, but it was Count Gloucester himself who lured the late Duke Riegan out.
link
Merchant
volume_up

If I recall correctly...he invited the duke to his estate to strike a deal on some valuable art pieces.
link
Merchant
volume_up

I believe the duke brought a pair of merchants with him to assess the pieces in question, but...
link
Merchant
volume_up

Alas, it seems those merchants lost their lives alongside him. A terrible misfortune.
link
Merchant
volume_up

I wish these nobles wouldn't get us common folk mixed up in their feuds.

You came from Garreg Mach, right? I'll send some wares your way as thanks for all your help.

You came from Garreg Mach, right? I'll send a token of our thanks over later.

Well then... I'm sorry I don't have anything to thank you with, but I must be on my way.

Those merchants who lost their lives...
link
Raphael
volume_up

Yeah, that was my ma and pa.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

My parents received the request initially, but they had other business.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

They recommended Raphael's parents as substitutes.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

We could never have imagined...
link
And Count Gloucester, isn't he...
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Yes, he's Lorenz's fath—
link
Raphael
volume_up

OK, OK! That's enough of that! It's just a rumor, right? So, who cares?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Even if it's true, that's our parents' business. It's got nothing to do with us.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

But you—
link
Raphael
volume_up

You got no idea what really happened, right, Ignatz? And I bet Lorenz doesn't know either!
link
Raphael
volume_up

The way I see it, it was monsters that killed my parents. They died in an accident.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I got no reason to hate anyone or blame somebody else for their deaths.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I don't have time for that. I got my little sis to worry about instead.

Ignatz

Raphael...
