Byleth, Claude enter the scene

Sorry for calling you out here like this. I wanted to talk, just the two of us.

Claude

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work. It seems like our long struggle may finally be coming to an end.
link
Do you think it's really the end?

Claude

The way forward will certainly be rough. Right now, Fódlan is like a newborn. Frail and easily upset.

Claude

If we don't create a new ruling system soon, the Empire and Kingdom will descend into chaos.

Claude

The coronation ceremony is the first step. Only then will Fódlan truly be a single, united land.

Claude

I'm sorry that I won't be by your side at such an important event, but I'm certain you'll do great.
link
You won't be there?!
link
Claude
volume_up

I must return to my homeland. As for ruling this new, unified land... Well, I'll leave that to you.
link
Claude
volume_up

The Fódlan blood that flows in my veins... I've made use of it as best I could.
link
Claude
volume_up

Now I've got to use my other bloodline to change my homeland for the better.
link
Claude
volume_up

I have royal connections there too, insignificant as they may be. It's time for me to struggle all over again and see what good I can do.
link
Claude
volume_up

If I don't change things in both Fódlan and the lands beyond, I'll never set eyes on the kind of world I've dreamed of creating.
link
I can't be a ruler.
link
Claude
volume_up

You're the successor Rhea appointed, aren't you? And now you're also the hero who saved Fódlan.
link
Claude
volume_up

All those weak people who have nothing to cling to but their goddess... They'll rely on you just like they used to rely on Rhea.
link
Claude
volume_up

You'll be a leader all who are struggling to survive in war-torn lands can look up to.
link
Claude
volume_up

And I...I want a ruler who can lay down a new set of values for the people. Values that don't exclude anyone for being different.
link
Claude
volume_up

I know it's a lot to ask. But you're the only one who can do it.
link
Claude
volume_up

I have something else to ask. Please... I hope you'll accept this.
link
Claude
volume_up

When I first saw you wield the Sword of the Creator, I wanted to use your power to my advantage.
link
Claude
volume_up

I wanted to use you to make my dream of a new world come true.
link
Claude
volume_up

But before long, I realized what I really wanted was to see that new world...with you by my side.
link
Claude
volume_up

I still feel that way, you know. I always will. That's why I have to leave.
link
Claude
volume_up

But nothing will stop me from coming back. There's no way I'm gonna let you go. You know that, don't you?
link
Claude
volume_up

Thank you... For everything.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'll be back before you know it. We'll only be apart for a short while.
link
Claude
volume_up

And now... I'm off to cross Fódlan's Throat.
link
Claude
volume_up

I love you. With everything I am. And the next time we see each other...it will be at the dawn of a whole new world. A peaceful, happy world.
