So, we have finally arrived. It has been a very, very long road.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Why are you here, Uncle? We haven't prevailed just yet.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

Even better. I decided I wanted to see the end with my own eyes.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

The very moment that humans will finally be free from the control of that false beast of a goddess...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Understood. Behold to your heart's content, just don't get in our way.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

Of course. I could not stand to be dragged into the fighting.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

When this fight is over, a world completely controlled by the Empire will be upon us.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Not completely... I will only do what I must.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But until our reign becomes stable...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Uncle... No, all of you. I believe that your power and knowledge may be essential during that time of transition.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

Perhaps so. We also will do what we must.
link
Lord Arundel
volume_up

For that short while, we will lend you our strength.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Yes... We're counting on you. For now.

Byleth, Edelgard enter the scene

Edelgard
volume_up

Professor, may I speak with you?
link
What's on your mind?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I know the timing is less than ideal, but there's something I need to tell you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I imagine you've already sensed it, but even still...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I must tell you the truth...of the power you wield and of what you are.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I expected as much.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Have you still yet to realize it? If so, then it's absolutely vital that I tell you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You, like Rhea, share a bloodline with the so-called goddess.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Your mother likely had some connection to the goddess, whose power has always been sleeping within you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Five years ago when your power awakened, I was afraid you would choose to join with Rhea.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I did. As you know, my goal is to free our world from the control of Rhea and the other children of the goddess.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Yes. In the Sealed Forest, when you returned from the eternal darkness...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

As you know, my goal is to free our world from the control of Rhea and the other children of the goddess.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I seek to obliterate her, as well as those around her who use the church's power to control Fódlan.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I swore to free the people from Rhea by striking her down, whether or not it meant making an enemy of you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And yet...you came to my aid and chose to walk with me on the path against Rhea.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I was overjoyed of course, but I was also confused.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I thought that perhaps it wasn't the path you were meant to take.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But I chose to trust in you, to rely on you and your strength. And now, here we are.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Thank you for listening, my teacher. I'm glad I finally had the chance to talk to you about it.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

After Rhea is gone from this world, I don't know what will become of you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But whatever happens, I hope you know that you're very special to me.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You are the one person in this world who can share the heavy burden I must carry. Someone without equal who I can always speak my mind to...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I hope that I hold a special place in your heart as well. But regardless...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It's time. Let's go, Professor.
