I'm so sorry... This is all my fault for leaving you behind when I left House Bartels.

I should have gone back for you sooner...

Gilbert

Your Highness, our capture of the fortress is complete.

Dimitri

Now the path to the Imperial capital has finally opened to us.

Dimitri
volume_up

Once we have finished cleaning up after the battle, let's have another meeting to discuss our next move.

Dimitri
volume_up

It would be one thing if we were at home or at the monastery, but to waste our resources like that here would be most—

Dimitri
volume_up

Naturally. But it matters not.

Dimitri

Consider this... Once this war is over, the mountain of official business on my plate will be even taller. If I can't handle at least this much, how will I—

Pardon the interruption! We've just received a letter from Margrave Gautier.

Dimitri

Very well. I will read it at once.

Dimitri
volume_up

I see... It seems the conflict within Faerghus has at last come to an end.
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

Yes, Your Highness! The Margrave and the other eastern lords are at the center of it, and are gathering the Kingdom's military forces even now.

Kingdom Soldier

They intend to join with the Alliance army and send troops and supplies to the monastery.

Sylvain

Whaddaya know... My old man is really pulling his weight. Did he seem well?
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

Yes, as well as can be expected. He has taken it upon himself to bring order back to our troubled territory while His Highness is away.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I am truly in the Margrave's debt. I will be sure to thank him properly at first opportunity.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Thank you for the information. Now tell me, did it seem to you that my presence was needed back at the monastery?
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

Well... I do have a verbal message from the Margrave on the subject.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

A verbal message? How strange...
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

The other day, he arrested one of Viscount Kleiman's men. And, well...
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

The prisoner has claimed involvement in the Tragedy of Duscur. He has implicated his lord as well.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Go on.
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

I was told they would be transporting this man to the monastery along with the troops and supplies.
link
Kingdom Soldier
volume_up

The Margrave said that regardless of the credibility of the man's testimony, how he should be dealt with was your decision alone, Your Highness.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Very well. All that considered, I will return to the monastery at once.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Will you come with me, Professor?

Dimitri

Thank you.
