Even though it's in ruins, in some strange way, this monastery never truly changes, does it?

I studied at the Officers Academy when I was young. Those memories come rushing back whenever I return.

What are you doing here at this hour, anyway?

It's the same for me.

I see.

Perhaps you'll allow me to join you...

Much appreciated.

I keep recalling my eldest son... He was quite gifted. In fact, he was appointed a knight at the age of 15.

I still vividly remember the day he was granted a sword from His Majesty...
link
Your son... Isn't he...

Rodrigue

Dead. He was killed nine years ago in Duscur. All that returned of him that day were his sword and his armor...

After it happened, I said something horrible to Felix. He's hated me ever since...and I don't blame him.

No matter how much you grieve, the dead will never return. No magic in the world can bring them back.

That's why their memory clings to the living like a curse.

The more they were loved, the tighter their hold, and the more suffering they cause...

I fear I am not a strong enough man to scold His Highness for his foolishness.
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

Right you are... As adults, it is our responsibility to scold him and help him find his way again.

I come off as so self-important, but really...I'm just a failure of a man.

Since this war began, we've seen countless generals, soldiers, and citizens die. It never gets easier.

Professor... I entrust the young prince, and the future of Faerghus, to you.
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

I suppose that was a dramatic way of putting it. My apologies.
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

You are a brave one, aren't you? One worthy of leading the Church of Seiros, I daresay.
link
Rodrigue

You should know that I have no intention of insisting that you take back Fhirdiad.

Rodrigue

All I ask is that you continue to rein in Dimitri's manic desire for revenge.

Now then... We have received House Riegan's consent. All that's left is for us to depart.

If we make it through Gloucester territory and across the Great Bridge of Myrddin, we'll be in Empire territory.

You are not afraid, are you?
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

Ha! No need to worry. Don't you underestimate the power of my soldiers.
link
Rodrigue
volume_up

Yes. Such is war...
link
Rodrigue

I'm glad you were the one to lead the Blue Lion House, Professor.

Rodrigue

I mean that...
