As all of you have committed a breach of faith, the archbishop will now pass judgment.

Shamir
volume_up

Inciting a Kingdom noble to rebel. Unlawful entry. The attempted assassination of the archbishop. An attack on the Holy Mausoleum.

Shamir

It is unnecessary to go on, followers of the Western Church.

Priest

What?! We have nothing to do with the Western Church!

You have already been identified. Please spare us your second-rate theater.

Rhea
volume_up

Dishonoring a holy ceremony is worthy of death for a member of the church.

Rhea
volume_up

You are well past the hope of redemption. If you have any grace remaining, you will willingly offer your life as atonement for this crime.

Priest
volume_up

No! This isn't what we were told would happen! We've been deceived!

Shamir
volume_up

It's no use arguing. Whatever your excuse, the punishment stands.

Rhea
volume_up

May your souls find peace as they return to the goddess...

Priest
volume_up

Wait! Please! The goddess would never forgive you for our execution!

Priest
volume_up

Monster! We know you've already slaughtered many of our fellow brethren like this!

This concludes the investigation. Please remove these poor, lost souls from my sight.

I suppose that's that. The assassination attempt, the attack on the Holy Mausoleum... Looks like it was all a plot by the Western Church.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's just too bad that that masked knight who was leading the attack got away. Vanished without a trace.

Hilda
volume_up

But why would the Western Church want to attack Lady Rhea?
link
Claude
volume_up

Why? Take your pick of reasons. Relations with the Western Church aren't exactly friendly.
link
Claude
volume_up

Oh, that's right. Jeralt mentioned that you grew up completely isolated from the church.
link
Claude
volume_up

The Church of Seiros is split into a few different branches across Fódlan.
link
Claude
volume_up

The Central Church is headquartered right here at Garreg Mach.

Claude
volume_up

Then there's the Western Church. Far west from Castle Gaspard, where Lord Lonato had his little rebellion, is the Fortress City of Arianrhod.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's the strongest fortress in the Kingdom. On the other side of it is the headquarters of the Western Church.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Not too smart to bicker with people who worship the same goddess as you.
link
Claude
volume_up

The bishop of the Western Church must be pretty ambitious. Probably hopes to split off completely.
link
Claude
volume_up

In which case, he'd need to weaken the Central Church's influence. Killing Rhea is certainly one way to do that.
link
Claude
volume_up

To the shock of no one, I hear the knights have been sent to subdue the leaders of the Western Church.
link
Claude
volume_up

We'll probably get a chance to assist.
link
Hilda
volume_up

You're an odd one, aren't you, Professor? How'd you make it this far in life without ever interacting with the church?
link
Hilda
volume_up

I can't believe someone like you exists in Fódlan. It's too strange!
link
Claude
volume_up

If you think that's weird, consider the fact that Rhea hired Teach despite all that.
link
Raphael
volume_up

So, those guys they caught... They all got the axe, right? That's brutal.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

Lady Rhea can be rather intimidating at times. In fact...she can be downright terrifying.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Professor. Those who cannot be saved must be delivered to the goddess for judgment. Is that not so?

There you are, Professor. It seems Lady Rhea would like a word with you. Come with me.
