We've made it this far... Somehow.

Claude

Edelgard is probably looking down on us from somewhere in that castle.
link
Leonie

I wonder if she's panicking or just smiling smugly...
link
Claude
volume_up

From this point on, she'll be giving it her all too. Expect her to be tougher than the last time we fought.
link
Claude
volume_up

This battle will settle things once and for all. We'll attack as soon as everyone is ready.

Huh? Is that you, Dedue?!
link
Dedue
volume_up

I heard the Alliance's army had entered the city. I've been searching for you ever since.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I arrived not long after the battle at Gronder Field. I am here to kill Edelgard.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I'm waiting for a chance to kill Edelgard. I have not yet been blessed with the opportunity.
link
Claude
volume_up

Well, if you want to fight alongside us, we'd be more than happy to have you.
link
Dedue
volume_up

We fight for different objectives. I swore to offer Edelgard's head to His Highness.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But... Should I fail, I will have no choice but to entrust that mission to you.
link
Dedue

This is the information I have gathered during my time in hiding here. It includes details about the inside of the castle.
link
Claude
volume_up

I appreciate this, but... What do you plan to do? Don't tell me you plan to go alone?

Dedue

I've done what I came here to do. Farewell.

Hey! Wait!

Claude

He's gone. He's just as hard to understand as his liege was.

The time has finally come, my friend. Once we win this fight, the Empire will fall...
link
Claude
volume_up

What will become of it? Well, that's for us to decide, isn't it?

Claude

The subject is heavy on my mind.
link
Claude
volume_up

Odd as it sounds, I believe the forces responsible for destroying Fódlan are also responsible for protecting the livelihood of its citizens.
link
Claude
volume_up

Everything, even the land itself, has been harmed by the chaos of war. Restoring it will be no easy feat.
link
Claude
volume_up

To do that, the first thing we need to think about is a new ruling system for all of Fódlan.
link
Claude
volume_up

No, I don't think that would work. The western half of the continent has little connection to the Alliance.
link
Claude
volume_up

Any attempt to force dominion on them would breed rebellion. The world would slide back into war once again.
link
Claude
volume_up

As usual, we're on the same page. I was thinking the same thing.
link
Claude
volume_up

Even if the Alliance lords and any remaining influential nobles were to divide up dominion of all of Fódlan...
link
Claude
volume_up

They would simply pursue their own interests. Another war would be inevitable.
link
Claude
volume_up

That's why there needs to be a powerful ruler who stands above them all and unifies Fódlan as one nation.
link
Claude
volume_up

If it means I can lead Fódlan to a better future, I wouldn't mind that at all.
link
Claude
volume_up

A new ruler, huh? I think I've got someone in mind.
link
Claude
volume_up

My friend... Do you really mean that?
link
Claude
volume_up

My dreams await in a future where Fódlan is no longer ravaged by war.
link
Claude
volume_up

There are things I want to see with you some day. I'll keep thinking about the best way to achieve that goal.
link
Claude
volume_up

Whatever we decide to do, we can't do it until we defeat the Empire.
link
Claude
volume_up

Fódlan can't welcome a new dawn until we win the war. Let's prepare as best we can.
