Professor, you should know that I'll be away from the monastery for a few days.

Where are you going?

It's meant to be a secret, but...I'm going to Enbarr, the Imperial Capital.

Don't worry, I'll be back in time for the ceremony at the Holy Tomb.

It will take a few days, but I promise we'll be back in time for the ceremony at the Holy Tomb.

There is something I must do there.

Thank you, my teacher.

Edelgard

Father, forgive me for asking this of you.

Edelgard

I know how much pain you're in—how the burden of the throne weighs heavily on you—and so...

Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

There is no need to apologize, Edelgard. You must know...that I do not have much time left in this world.

Emperor Ionius IX

The time has come.

Thank you, Father.

Now, to complete the Imperial succession, you must relinquish your crown here in the throne room.

Edelgard

The archbishop of the Church of Seiros would normally act as witness, but my professor will fill that role instead.

Emperor Ionius IX

Edelgard...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

From this day forward, the weight of the Empire's future shall rest upon my shoulders. All that I do will be for the benefit of the people of Fódlan.

Edelgard von Hresvelg... The crown is yours.

Emperor Ionius IX

By the covenant between the red blood and the white sword, and by the double-headed eagle upon your head, I hereby pronounce you the new emperor.
link
Emperor Ionius IX

Are you prepared to take those responsibilities as your own?
link
Edelgard

In accordance with the ancient covenant, and in keeping with the Hresvelg legacy...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I swear that upon this throne, I shall use my reign to lead Fódlan to a new dawn and achieve peace for all.

Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

The Imperial succession is complete. My daughter, I regret that I could not do more for you.
link
Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

When you were stolen away to the Kingdom... When the prime minister did those horrible things... I could only watch in horror.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I...I understand, Father. In those dark times, your eyes and your fists were my salvation.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Within your eyes, I saw true care.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And upon your fists clenched tight with indignity, I saw the blood that dripped and fell.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Even as I bled, I felt that you, too, must also be bleeding.

Duke Aegir
volume_up

Your Majesty! You must not leave your sleeping chambers in your condition... Ah, Edelgard. I did not expect to find Your Highness here.

Edelgard
volume_up

Prime Minister, you have misspoken. I am no longer Your Highness but rather...Your Majesty.
link
Duke Aegir
volume_up

I-impossible!
link
Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

It is true. Edelgard is the new emperor of the Adrestian Empire.
link
Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

We will summon the officials and prepare an ordinance at once. And you, Prime Minister—
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Are dismissed. It will be some time before you are allowed to make contact with the outside world again.
link
Duke Aegir
volume_up

No! How can this be?! I... Understood, Your Majesty.
link
Emperor Ionius IX
volume_up

Edelgard... My dear El. I leave the fate of Fódlan...in your capable hands.

Edelgard

Father...

We are out of time, my teacher. Everyone is waiting for us. We must go.
