Fort Merceus...said to rival Arianrhod, the Silver Maiden.

Dimitri

Perhaps a head-on siege was a foolish plan, after all.

Gilbert

No, you're right that it's the only way. I don't think the Death Knight would have fallen for any tricks.

Gilbert

Even if they are denied supplies, they could hold a fortress like this for months.
link
Gilbert

And we cannot discount the possibility that they will receive more reinforcements if our siege is delayed.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes, my thoughts exactly. Then we have no option but to do the best we can.

Dimitri

Say, Professor... In the past, it seemed like the Death Knight took some strange satisfaction from his fights with you.

Dimitri
volume_up

He's an unpredictable opponent. A dangerous one. Please proceed with caution.

Dimitri
volume_up

I have not come this far just to lose you here. I'm serious. Do not be reckless out there.

Dimitri
volume_up

Of course. You were the heart of the Blue Lions, and the same holds true for the Kingdom army.

Mercedes...

So, the Death Knight really is inside that fortress. Dear Emile...

Dimitri

I want you to know that no one is forcing you to battle with us at the front lines. I support whatever you decide.

Mercedes
volume_up

Please, stop. We can't have you saying that.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You and I are the same, after all. We both have to fight our family for the good of the world...

Mercedes
volume_up

And since that's the way it is, I couldn't live with myself if I was the only one running away from this battle.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I will bring Emile back to his senses. I must. I'm his big sister, after all.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Understood. Stay safe out there, Mercedes.

Ugh... How did I get tangled up in all of this...

You are finally here...

Death Knight

Will death's scythe claim you... Or will I fall to that sword of yours...

Death Knight

And Mercedes... Here you are as well...
