It's over. We were only able to beat her because of you.

This wasn't the conclusion I had hoped for. Even though... I... Never mind. It's over now.

Claude

The important thing is that we won.

Judith enters the scene

Judith

Here, boy. A letter. An Imperial general asked me to give it to you.
link
Claude
volume_up

A letter? Let's see it.
link
Claude

It looks like it's from...Hubert. Edelgard's vassal.
link
volume_up
If you are reading this letter, that means I have perished. As Her Majesty would never surrender to another, I can only assume she has fallen as well.
link
volume_up
It greatly pains me to think of this coming to pass...
link
volume_up
That said, as the survivors, I must ask you to settle certain affairs in our stead.
link
volume_up
You must destroy the threat that slithers in the dark.
link
volume_up
I am sure you must recall Monica and Tomas. Their allies yet live.
link
volume_up
They hold deep resentment against the children of the goddess and the people of the world, and they are biding their time until they can exact revenge.
link
volume_up
If left to their own devices, it is certain they will eventually bring unimaginable calamity and suffering to the world.
link
volume_up
I detected their sorcery when you took Fort Merceus.
link
volume_up
I have deduced the location of their stronghold, Shambhala. You will find its whereabouts enclosed.
link
volume_up
There is no question that they are the enemies of everyone in Fódlan. Do not allow yourselves to forget that.
link
volume_up
Lastly... While I cannot say she is in good health, the archbishop resides in a secret chamber in the Imperial palace.
link
volume_up
I have shared the location of the entrance to that secret chamber with the person to whom I have entrusted this letter.
link
volume_up
I believe that Her Majesty will be victorious... Even still, I must plan for her defeat as well.
link
volume_up
If you wish to lead this world, I challenge you to rise to the occasion and surpass my estimation of you.
link
volume_up
Such is your obligation as the victors...and the only fitting tribute to all that Lady Edelgard sacrificed.
link
Claude
volume_up

Hubert... To leave a letter like this behind...
link
Claude
volume_up

You were a better man than I believed you to be.
link
Claude
volume_up

So, Rhea is alive. And the fight isn't over yet.
link
Claude
volume_up

Those who slither in the dark... It sounds like Fódlan will never know peace unless we defeat them.
link
Claude
volume_up

The allies of Monica and Tomas... Well, we knew about them already.
link
Claude
volume_up

I think it's safe to assume this is the same group who used Lysithea for their blood experiments.
link
Claude
volume_up

And they were also responsible for the javelins of light that destroyed the fortress.
link
Claude
volume_up

But who are these "children of the goddess," who they supposedly resent?
link
Claude
volume_up

There's just not enough information here. I don't suppose there's any chance that this is his idea of a prank... If so, wow. Good one.
link
Claude
volume_up

Hubert... Rather than writing a letter, you should have just told us before we fought...
link
Let's ask Rhea about it.
link
Claude
volume_up

Right. We still don't know for sure if this letter is telling the truth. Let's go find out.
