Fhirdiad... It has been a lifetime since I was here last.

Five years ago, in fact. On the day before my execution, when Dedue helped me escape from prison.

I killed soldiers from my homeland, stole weapons from their corpses, and made my escape, soaked in their blood...

To think this is how I would return to the city of my birth, after all that has happened...

You have Rodrigue to thank.
I'm proud of you.

Yes. Rodrigue gave his life to show me the way back to this path. You have risked much as well.

I do not deserve that. If not for you or Rodrigue, I would still be lost...

I am glad to have you at my side. From the bottom of my heart...I am forever grateful.

Let's win this, Professor. Let's all make it out alive and celebrate our victory.

Gilbert enters the scene

Gilbert

Your Highness. The path to the castle has been cleared. We are making preparations to advance.

Gilbert

Say the word, and we march.

Give the order.
It's time!

Kingdom Soldier, Kingdom Soldier, Kingdom Soldier, Kingdom Soldier, Kingdom Soldier enter the scene

Yes... Let us begin.

Everyone! Listen well!

This battle is for all that the Empire stole from us. It is a fight to reclaim the days of peace we once enjoyed.

I give you but two commands—stay alive, and follow your heart. That is all I ask.

The gates to the Kingdom capital are open. Join me! It is time to take back our home!

Cornelia enters the scene

I thought I would see you again, little princeling. Heh, so stubborn. It must run in your family.

Dukedom General enters the scene

Cornelia! The city is overrun with insurrection. It seems to be in response to our enemy's arrival.

If we do nothing, our army may suffer damages. We should suppress the citizens immediately.

The people are rebelling? Ha! Let them do as they please.

Or are you saying you have enough soldiers to divide our forces? Quite bold of you, with our enemy's most elite soldiers at our doorstep.

But... What are you suggesting?

The city is going to be a battlefield anyway. Kill all who oppose us, even if they are members of the general populace.

Go on now. You are needed out there.

As you wish. May we find fortune in the battle to come.

Dukedom General leaves the scene

Hmph. What an inconvenience the little princeling has turned out to be. And bringing that troublesome person along with him...
