The Alliance Leader's Ambitions

Claude

Heya, Teach. How are you feeling? Does anything feel, um...strange at all?
link
Claude
volume_up

Good. I still vividly remember you suddenly collapsing and passing out after you went through those changes.
link
Claude
volume_up

But maybe that's not a concern now that you've spent five long years napping.
link
Claude
volume_up

Well, you were asleep for five whole years, after all. It'll probably take time to get you back to top form.
link
Claude
volume_up

Though I'm relieved to see you haven't lost a step as far as combat goes.
link
Claude
volume_up

Your command bringing my schemes to life... That's just how we fight best.
link
Any word from Judith?
link
Claude
volume_up

Not yet, but there's no need to worry. That woman adores me.
link
Claude
volume_up

Once we've bolstered our forces, it'll finally be time to start taking decisive action. But I wonder...
link
Claude
volume_up

Do you really think Rhea is still alive?
link
Claude
volume_up

I think so too. It's hard to imagine the death of someone as important as her staying a secret.
link
Claude
volume_up

There's no telling. But it's also hard to imagine the death of someone as important as her staying a secret.
link
Claude
volume_up

I wonder where she is and what she's doing...
link
Gain support points with Claude
link
Claude
volume_up

That's a dangerous question, Teach. To be honest, I've given it a lot of thought.
link
Claude
volume_up

All I know is that I still have a lot of questions I need to ask her.
link
Claude
volume_up

About the true history of Crest Stones and Heroes' Relics...and the truth behind the legend of Seiros and Nemesis.
link
Claude
volume_up

She has secrets. Too many of them for my comfort. Considering the state of the world...it's suspicious.
link
Claude
volume_up

You must be curious about what was done to you and what her plans were for you, right?
link
Claude
volume_up

And you never did learn about your mother, did you?
link
Claude
volume_up

None of our doubts will ever be cleared unless we hear these answers from Rhea herself.
link
Claude
volume_up

In that sense, I absolutely hope Rhea is still alive.
link
Claude
volume_up

But as far as Fódlan goes, I do wonder what a world without Rhea would look like.
link
A world without Rhea?
link
Claude
volume_up

The majority of people in Fódlan believe in the Seiros faith that Rhea preaches.
link
Claude
volume_up

That's why they accept the noble system as if it were the only option, and refuse to associate with those who believe in anything else.
link
Claude
volume_up

That closed-minded philosophy is the reason why Fódlan's Throat is locked tight.
link
Claude
volume_up

But if you remove the archbishop who strictly advocates that doctrine, that world view is no longer an absolute. There's room for free thought.
link
Claude
volume_up

The leadership of the church would undoubtedly fall to you, and you would hold the power to change the shape of the faith. Of the world.
link
Claude
volume_up

Then, for the first time, people would truly be free to think for themselves. To decide what's right, and what's wrong.
link
Claude
volume_up

Honestly, I believe Edelgard is probably hoping to achieve something very similar.
link
Claude
volume_up

But her methods require too much bloodshed. That's not something the world can get behind.
link
Claude
volume_up

Anyway... The best thing we can do is find Rhea and hear what she has to say.
link
Claude
volume_up

Heh, oops... I guess I've been going on for a while now. Sorry about that. You should get some rest.
