The majority is with us. This conflict will end soon. I am so moved by the Alliance nobles' decision.

As war drags on, those living near the front lines inevitably get the worst of it.

We will not see such a peaceful resolution in Faerghus, I am afraid, as it is ruled by the royal family, not a council of nobles.

And if you're off by yourself, you can get killed with no one ever even finding out.

The Leicester Alliance is no more. Three hundred years of history...gone and done.

Look, Professor... Fighting Faerghus? Isn't there some way we can come to an understanding?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/494/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/497/0.png)
Yeah, but Edelgard and her idiot sidekick haven't shown much desire to compromise, have they?
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/498/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/497/0.png)
Truthfully, I hate the idea of planning to kill people I used to be so close with.

Or, failing that, he could have rallied the Alliance nobles to secure a real fighting chance.

I regret not telling him so. But I suppose a man like him will not remain hidden for long.

Although...I've no desire to continue on with my family, so from here on out, it's up to Edelgard.

Ultimately, this ended without the Alliance being entirely consumed by this war. It's all thanks to Claude.

No... At the very least, I think not. There are other, lesser Crests to research.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/177/0.png)
Yet I am a human first and a scholar second. For now, I grieve the fallen and pray for those still living.

Claude...lost in battle. My goodness. Do you suppose this means the end of House Riegan?

It seems Claude has disappeared... Do you suppose this means the end of House Riegan?

You know as well as I do, the day's coming that we'll have to fight the archbishop and her knights.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/186/0.png)
We've got some strong fighters here, sure. But even with all our training, I don't know if we can win.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/186/0.png)
I just don't see how any of us can compete with the archbishop, say, turning into a monster.

Your next opponents will be the Kingdom's army and the Knights of Seiros. Both fearsome foes.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/367/0.png)
Put the mobility of my troops to good use, and let us protect the Kingdom's western battle front.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/367/0.png)
When this month has ended, I'll depart. I pray that you have good luck in battle.

You may already know this, but the Kingdom and the Alliance were once a single entity.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/695/0.png)
The leaders of the Alliance, House Riegan, are actually a branch of the Blaiddyd royal family.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/695/0.png)
In a way, it's just a battle of the part of the Blaiddyd family tree that rose in rebellion against the Empire...

Things we can't obtain here are likely obtainable by way of the underground.

Are you unfamiliar with Garreg Mach's underground? The place is an absolute paradise for those who can't stay above ground.

Doesn't seem to be much unrest in the former Alliance territories, perhaps thanks to Count Bergliez' strength.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/619/0.png)
That said, General Randolph is the head of one of the branches of House Bergliez.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/619/0.png)
It was once difficult for someone from a branch family to get ahead in life. But under Her Majesty...
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/619/0.png)
Anyone who accomplishes great deeds during the war will see more success than they could have ever imagined!

You must know this already... The former Faerghus territory used to belong to the Empire.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/791/0.png)
The Battle of Tailtean, where Nemesis was defeated, put Faerghus under the Empire's control.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/791/0.png)
Centuries later, a revolution sprung up in Faerghus, and through the mediation of the church, the Kingdom gained independence.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/791/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/791/0.png)
The Blaiddyds, the royal family of Faerghus, are directly descended from Loog, who was also known as the King of Lions.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/791/0.png)
If you look at it from the point of view of the Empire, the Kingdom is just a bunch of traitors.

It's all thanks to my little bro. He's a great guy. I'm sure he'll do well under the Empire.

![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/54/0.png)
No kidding. I may have cut ties with them, but I was still curious to know how they were managing.

![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/54/0.png)
The world may have changed, but I haven't. I have no interest in playing the noble game. I'd rather just keep doing my thing.

The swiftness of the Alliance's withdrawal on seeing that they had no hope of victory was unsurprising.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/60/0.png)
Given their complete lack of solidarity, there could really have been no other outcome.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/60/0.png)
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/60/0.png)
No. But a noble's duty is to protect the commonfolk of their territory. I judge the Alliance by that metric.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/60/0.png)
Yes, he built his scheme with their self-interest as its cornerstone. Very cunning of him.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/60/0.png)
What's important is that one of the forces arrayed against us has fallen. Our victory draws nearer!

The merchants of Derdriu all have nerves of steel. I'm sure they'll be up and running again in no time.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/10/0.png)
There's unrest everywhere these days. All of my fellow merchants seem to be endangered.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/10/0.png)
I hope things go back to normal soon. People need more to smile about, aside from my great deals.

Some folks have made their home there. Obviously they all have their reasons and tales to tell.
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/dlc/face_school_normal_DLC/9/0.png)
But only the most enterprising merchant would venture near it. My advice? Avoid going there yourself.

The Alliance is a thing of the past now. Times are changing fast these days. It's hard to keep up, even for me!
![](https://assets.fedatamine.com/3h/face_school/759/0.png)
I wonder if Abyss is on the verge of change too. Change leads to uncertainty, and uncertainty leads to...change? I dunno. I'm just a guard.
