Felix
volume_up

Well, Dimitri? Are you finally going to tell us the damned truth?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

What are you talking about?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Didn't Lord Arundel say something about you and Edelgard being family?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

To claim that the king and the emperor are related... Could it be?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Ah, I suppose I never told you, though I do recall mentioning it briefly to the professor...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Lord Arundel spoke the truth. My stepmother was Edelgard's birth mother.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Political turmoil drove my stepmother out of the Empire. Father fell in love with her at first sight and they married.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I lost my birth mother before I was old enough to remember her. My stepmother filled that role for me.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But she lost her life in Duscur nine years ago, along with Father.
link
Felix
volume_up

Hang on. I didn't even know she was your stepmother.
link
Felix
volume_up

Did my father know about this?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes. All those who were close to my father knew, including Rodrigue.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But to speak openly about it would have caused a scandal, and so she was our secret. No one in the general public knew about her.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Naturally, the fact that Edelgard and I are stepsiblings was kept a secret as well.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'm finally beginning to understand what you went through five years ago.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I mean, Edelgard is the only family you have left, isn't she?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

To find out someone so precious to you is actually your most hated enemy... How heartbreaking.
link
Annette
volume_up

But wait! You two were born and raised in two different territories, right? So you probably never met until you were both at the academy.
link
Annette
volume_up

I mean, don't get me wrong, I think the idea of fighting family is just about the worst thing ever.
link
Annette
volume_up

But hopefully the fact that she's a stepsister who you never really knew helps with the pain... I don't know, it was just a thought.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I am afraid that's not the case. Though it was only for a short time, Edelgard once called Fhirdiad home.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It was a long time ago, but she was a cherished friend of mine.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Wait! I remember now! She was that girl, wasn't she? The one you gave a dagger to!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Heh, so your little girlfriend was Edelgard.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Sylvain. If you have any more foolish things to say, please hold them for later.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I do have a few more up my sleeve, but they can wait. Go on, Your Highness. This is important for us to hear.
link
Felix
volume_up

She may be a hated enemy now, but the emperor is your old friend and your stepsister.
link
Felix
volume_up

Can you bring yourself to kill her?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I will kill her...if I must.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But if there is any chance that the world she seeks to create could be a just one...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Then I... I would love to see a future in which I may reach out my hand for her and have her reach back.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

That said, I have no intention of letting my personal feelings cloud my judgment. Too much is at stake.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Your Highness... I think you should meet with the emperor and at least try to talk to her.
link
Ashe
volume_up

If there's any hope of ending this war without more bloodshed, we have to try. Besides, killing your own family... I'm sorry, but it's not right.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I...I think so too. And you are right that we should at least try.
link
Edelgard, Hubert enter the scene
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I see. So my uncle's defeat is beyond doubt?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Yes, Your Majesty. I have confirmed it via countless channels. I advise that we accept this as a drop of joy amid a pool of sorrow.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Pretty words, but I'm afraid we can't rest until the joy outweighs the sorrow.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And for that to happen, it now seems we must confront them all at once.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Dimitri, who took back Fhirdiad... Claude, who managed to protect the Alliance...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And that professor, who is successfully mobilizing the Knights of Seiros...
link
Hubert
volume_up

What will you do, Your Majesty?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Pull back our forces. In the west, to Arianrhod. In the east, to—
link
Hubert
volume_up

Fort Merceus, I presume? There is no better place for such a confrontation, after all.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Indeed. And dispatch the Death Knight to guard it. He can buy us some time.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

In the meantime, I will—
link
Hubert
volume_up

Forgive me, but I must speak bluntly. I do not agree with what you intend to do. Though slight, there is a chance that once done, it cannot be undone.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Even I cannot always choose the direction my path leads me. There is no other way. And so, I must walk on.
