Our next battlefield will be the Imperial capital. There will be no turning back.

Dimitri
volume_up

If you have any unfinished business here, you had best settle it before we depart.

Dimitri
volume_up

I apologize, but you'll have to make do with the time you have. We cannot afford a delay.

Dimitri
volume_up

I knew I could count on you. Good luck.

Ferdinand

Professor. At last, the end is nigh.

Ferdinand
volume_up

I love the Empire. Part of me wants it to survive.

Ferdinand
volume_up

But I know that is not reasonable. The Empire's time has come.

Ferdinand
volume_up

The Kingdom is battle-scarred, the Alliance is in tatters... People must be terrified. The world is crumbling around them.

Ferdinand
volume_up

What we need now is a mighty leader who can rebuild Fódlan and rule it as a single nation.

Ferdinand
volume_up

Nonetheless, it saddens me that we will not have an Adrestian emperor...

Linhardt

Linhardt
volume_up

When you think of it, as one approaches the end of a war, the sacrifices only grow larger, don't they?

Linhardt
volume_up

The winning side musters their forces and attempts to strike a decisive blow...

Linhardt
volume_up

While those of the losing side make desperate attempts to turn the war in their favor.

Linhardt
volume_up

Neither side will give. I only wish we'd consider those who lose their lives in that struggle.

Linhardt
volume_up

Yes, exactly my point. Let's be careful to ensure we don't lose our own lives, Professor.

Linhardt
volume_up

Perhaps, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept your own survival depends on a throw of the dice.

Linhardt
volume_up

I can appreciate that, but just because a choice is better does not mean that it's good.

Caspar

Caspar
volume_up

It's such a relief that we've made it this far without having to fight my father.

Caspar
volume_up

Are you trying to scare me? What if he turns up while we're charging the capital?!

Caspar
volume_up

You bet I'm scared! The Imperial army hasn't lost a single battle with my father on the field!

Caspar
volume_up

But still, I wonder what'll happen to him if we win...

Bernadetta

link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Professor! My, um, my mother might be in the city.

Bernadetta
volume_up

I don't have many good memories of her if I'm being honest, but she's dearer to me than my father.

Bernadetta
volume_up

If you happen to see her, please make sure she's not caught up in all the fighting.

Bernadetta
volume_up

She's only a civil servant, so hopefully she takes a cue from her Bernie and stays inside.

Dorothea

Dorothea
volume_up

I keep thinking the war is near its end, then it isn't...

Dorothea
volume_up

When can we finally put this dreadful war behind us?

Dorothea
volume_up

That would be wonderful. Imagine, the last moment of combat...then peace. It sounds like a fairy tale.

Dorothea
volume_up

I want to make this a world where there is no fighting, where children can grow up happy and safe.

Dorothea
volume_up

I suppose you're right...

Dorothea
volume_up

But we should still try our best to make the world a place where children can grow up happy and safe.

Petra

Petra
volume_up

Five years ago...Edelgard said a thing to me.

Petra
volume_up

Brigid is a vassal of the Empire.

Petra
volume_up

But she also said I always have the freedom to be choosing whether I am with or not with her.

Petra
volume_up

I will become the ruler of Brigid. So she said I must make my own path.

Petra
volume_up

So now, my path and her path will be colliding.

Dedue

Felix

She's his stepsister, I know, but this seems risky.

Felix

Pah! I know that!

Felix
volume_up

No, I'm not. I'm sure he's thought it through.

Felix
volume_up

If the two can settle this diplomatically, that would be the best way out of this mess. No more bloodshed.

Felix
volume_up

Let's just hope he doesn't become so overwhelmed with emotion that he's unable to strike her down... should the need arise.

Ashe

Ashe
volume_up

Returning to the monastery brings back so many memories from five years ago.

Ashe
volume_up

Hard to believe we only spent a year together here.

Ashe
volume_up

So much happened that it felt a lot longer than that. But it was all so exciting. And so much fun.

Ashe
volume_up

Honestly, I think those memories are what's kept me fighting this long.

Ashe
volume_up

What was that year like for you, Professor?

Ashe
volume_up

I don't think I could ask for a better answer.

Ashe
volume_up

Ah...yeah, there were a lot of hard times too.

Ashe
volume_up

Let's all do our best to survive this, so we can come back here when it's all over.

Ashe
volume_up

I know that's what I'll be doing.

Sylvain

Sylvain
volume_up

I've been thinking about how we've got our own ideas about justice...and so does the Empire.

Sylvain
volume_up

And what's coming, it's not just a battle between us and them. It's our ideals that are fighting.

Sylvain
volume_up

Whoever wins will say they were right and the other side was wrong. And I get it. That's how it goes...

Sylvain
volume_up

But nobody's willing to talk or compromise, so we'll fight to the death to prove the other guy's wrong.

Sylvain
volume_up

It won't be an easy battle, but let's make sure we come back alive. Right, Professor?

Mercedes

Mercedes
volume_up

We'll be heading for the capital soon. So much rests on this moment.

Mercedes
volume_up

Will the war really be over if we take the capital?

Mercedes
volume_up

You're probably right...but we'll get there eventually.

Mercedes
volume_up

Yay! I'm sure it won't end right away, but that's still great news!

Mercedes
volume_up

I truly believe that a peaceful future is waiting at the end of all this.

Annette

Annette

I hope this is the final battle. Don't you, Professor?

Annette

When the war is over, everyone will be busy with their own lives...

Annette
volume_up

But let's all meet up again someday. Right here at Garreg Mach.

Annette
volume_up

You, His Highness, my father, our monastery friends, the knights...everyone!

Annette
volume_up

It was just a silly whim I had, but I really love it!

Annette
volume_up

All that matters is whether we choose to make it happen. I really hope that we do!

Annette
volume_up

Ooh, and I'll bake a bunch of desserts for it! Reunion sweets!

Annette
volume_up

All we have to do now is win! Let's get to it, Professor!

Ingrid

Ingrid
volume_up

I'm so glad that you were assigned to the Blue Lion House, Professor.

Ingrid
volume_up

We made it this far thanks to your guidance and leadership.

Ingrid

There's a bitter fight ahead—that much is certain. You have my lance.

Ingrid
volume_up

Yes. Let's do this together!

Lorenz

Lorenz
volume_up

At last, we've come to the final confrontation! Ruin to the Empire! Glory to Faerghus!

Lorenz
volume_up

Of course, to be perfectly honest, I would have much preferred to march against the Empire at the head of the Alliance.

Lorenz
volume_up

But I suppose I have Claude to thank for denying me that satisfaction, don't I?

Raphael

Raphael
volume_up

We're heading up to Enbarr next. I hope I make it back safe so I can tell my little sis about it!

Raphael
volume_up

I hear they got a neat opera house there where Manuela used to perform. What was it called again?

Raphael
volume_up

Nah, that doesn't sound right!

Raphael
volume_up

Ah, that's the one!

Raphael
volume_up

Nah, that doesn't sound right!

Raphael
volume_up

My little sis always goes on about how much she'd like to see them perform.

Raphael
volume_up

I know we can't see a show, but do you think we could at least see the building?

Ignatz

Ignatz

We're about to put the finishing touches on this war.

Ignatz
volume_up

I wonder how Fódlan will look without the backdrop of death and destruction. I can't wait to see it!

Ignatz
volume_up

On the other hand, I'm terrified of what the future might hold. Who knows if I'll survive the assault on the capital?

Lysithea

link
Lysithea
volume_up

Wanting so desperately to speak with Edelgard just as we're about to fight...

Lysithea
volume_up

Could it be that the prince is having doubts about killing her?

Lysithea
volume_up

Then perhaps it is OK.

Lysithea
volume_up

I suppose they're the only ones who fully understand the extent of their relationship.

Lysithea
volume_up

He's certainly changed from the vengeful person he once was.

Lysithea
volume_up

I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm actually relieved.

Lysithea
volume_up

A king who's responsible for Fódlan's future can't exact personal vendettas and have a cold heart.

Dear Goddess...

Marianne

I'll do all I can to survive, but please...please don't die out there, Professor.

Hilda

Hilda

Fighting in the capital! Ugh! And we're fighting against Edelgard! Double ugh!

Hilda
volume_up

But with you leading us, Professor, I know we'll win.

Hilda

Yeah! Wahoo! Fighting!

Hilda
volume_up

I'm a little scared, to be honest. I'm just shouting to relieve the tension, but I'll be fine.

Leonie

At last, it's time to face the Flame Emperor... Edelgard.

Leonie

I know that the future of all Fódlan rests on this battle. Nothing else is more important.

But for me, this is personal. For Captain Jeralt's sake, I'm going to give it all I've got and more!

I was born in Enbarr.

Flayn

Flayn

I do not understand how war can happen in such a precious place. It is most regrettable.

Hanneman

Hanneman
volume_up

Enbarr's streets are paved with unhappy memories, Professor.

Hanneman
volume_up

I've avoided the damned place ever since I abandoned my nobility. Swore never to return.

Hanneman
volume_up

Now here we are. To return in this manner... Well, I can't say it is something I ever imagined.

Hanneman
volume_up

Especially as I'm returning to end the Empire. What a strange feeling, breaking one's history.

Manuela

Manuela
volume_up

Life can be tough, you know? But if you've got your friends to help you through, it can be a lot easier.

Manuela
volume_up

Maybe you butt heads sometimes...but that's OK. That's how you build bonds, right?

Manuela
volume_up

And I've got friends, Professor. Plenty of those. It's true love that seems to have passed me by.

Manuela
volume_up

Relax? I'm relaxed.

Manuela
volume_up

But where is my true love to be found? Where is my ray of hope?

Manuela
volume_up

Yeah... I'm starting to figure that's the most realistic option.

Manuela
volume_up

At this point, you're the only man who pays attention to me. I guess I'll have to take what I can get.

Manuela
volume_up

At this point, I'm just hoping you stay single too. Then at least we can share each other's misery!

Gilbert

Gilbert
volume_up

It matters not how just our cause may be. In the end, war is nothing more than organized murder.

Gilbert
volume_up

I understand the desire to reach a conclusion, but we mustn't overlook the sins inherent in our deeds.

Gilbert
volume_up

Heh, sorry. I have a tendency to preach.

Gilbert

We have lost so much, and in return, we have taken much from our enemies.

Gilbert

I pray we can put an end to this cycle of violence.

He's watching over us now, protecting us. I know he is.

Catherine

Looks like we're nearing the end of this struggle.

Catherine

I'm sure Lady Rhea is on tenterhooks waiting for me to swoop in and rescue her.

Catherine

I was just kidding! Pay me no mind.

Catherine
volume_up

Oof... You don't mince your words. Try being a bit more mindful of other people's feelings.

Catherine

Lady Rhea's not waiting for me, I know, no matter how much I might wish she were. She's waiting for you.

Shamir

Shamir

Ten years ago, Dagda and Brigid attacked the Empire from the west.

Shamir

Their final target was the capital.

But they were countered at a port town, long before they reached their destination.

Shamir

We spent a lot of time going back and forth, but at least we made it this far.

I just gotta believe Lady Rhea is waiting for us in the capital... We just have to find her.

Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report!

Gatekeeper

Momentum's really picking up for this final battle, huh? Even I'm starting to feel tense! Me!

Gatekeeper
volume_up

Enbarr's history goes back 1,400 years. That even predates the founding of the Empire.

Gatekeeper
volume_up

It's one of the sacred sites of the Seiros faith, so it's a pretty big deal.

Gatekeeper

But hey, no need to worry about the monastery while you're fighting the final battle. I've got it covered! I'll defend it to my last!

Soldier

From now on, I'm going to devote myself to the Kingdom, and fight for what I believe in!

Monk

Monk
volume_up

Did you know? A magnificent canal flows through downtown Enbarr.

Monk
volume_up

It's said to have been constructed under the guidance of Saint Seiros before the Empire was even formed.

Monk

Ever since, that canal has been a major lifeline for the capital's development.

Monk
volume_up

And now this is how the Empire repays it... Truly, no good deed goes unpunished.

Kingdom Knight

Attacking the capital means crossing swords with the emperor herself.

Kingdom Knight

I hope you won't be caught unprepared. I've heard that she'll stop at nothing in the pursuit of victory.

Win, live, and return, OK? Mostly so you can pay me back for the stuff you borrowed!

Soldier

Soldier

I've got a bit of Duscur blood in me. Faerghus is our ancestral enemy.

Knight of Seiros

It's very likely that Lady Rhea is confined in the Imperial palace.

Knight of Seiros
volume_up

If so, then our strategy will be to gain control of the streets, and then assault the castle.

Knight of Seiros

A street battle followed by a castle invasion... It's just one battle after another. It'll be tough, but we have to win. For Lady Rhea.

I dunno... Someone who could do such terrible things just has to be really scary looking!

Really, though. We've been trying to kill each other, and he wants to shoot the breeze? Is he dumb or just insane?

Balthus
volume_up

No "maybes" about it, pal. You ask me, they should settle it like civilized folk—with their fists.

Balthus
volume_up

That a fact? Heh, you two are birds of a feather. You ask me, they should throw some fists and be done with it.
