War for the Weak: Before Battle

Byleth enters the scene

Oh—it's you, Professor.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Since you are here, I have a favor to ask.
link
Dimitri enters the scene
link
Dedue
volume_up

Your Highness. You've returned.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Sorry to keep you waiting, Dedue.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I'm glad you're here as well, Professor. I want you both to hear this.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Dedue is already aware, but you should know there's been an uprising in the Duscur region, in the western part of the Kingdom.
link
An uprising in Duscur? Why?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Dedue... Would you like me to explain?
link
Dedue
volume_up

No. It should be me.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I am from Duscur. It lies just beyond the mountains on the northwestern border of Faerghus.
link
Dedue
volume_up

You are, of course, aware of what transpired there.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But the people of Duscur no longer live there.
link
Dedue
volume_up

The land was burned to ashes by the army of Faerghus. All of the people were slaughtered.
link
Dedue
volume_up

This was our punishment for the crime of regicide.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

...
link
Dedue
volume_up

The barren expanse that was once Duscur is now controlled by a Kingdom noble.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But Duscur survivors, such as myself, still exist outside the region.
link
Dedue
volume_up

This uprising is most likely the work of such survivors, seeking to reclaim their homeland.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

A request for aid was sent from Viscount Kleiman to the Kingdom capital and the church. He is the one who rules over that region at present.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

For now, the lords surrounding the Duscur region have sent their armies to help suppress the uprising. However...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

They have sufficient troops, and strong ones at that. My worry is that there will be more unwarranted death.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

There have always been many in the Kingdom's army who believe the people of Duscur our foes, and hate them because of it.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

You would think they'd refrain from squashing the rebels out of political expediency...but I doubt that will be the case.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If the Kingdom's army and the rebel forces of Duscur collide, there is no doubt that the rebel forces will be annihilated.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I'm afraid...that's the best case scenario. It could also turn into complete and bloody chaos for both sides.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Indeed.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Which brings me to my news. I have just now received the permission I requested from the church.
link
Permission for what?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I asked the church to deploy our class to help handle the situation.
link
Dedue
volume_up

So we may go?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Not so fast. We still have a responsibility as students of the academy, after all.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

The only one who can truly make the decision as to whether or not we go is our professor. So... What do you say?
link
Dedue
volume_up

You have my most sincere gratitude.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

And mine as well. But we must move fast. I will go and alert the others.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I know this was sudden, but given the situation, I'm afraid there isn't much time to ponder.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

When you've decided, please speak with me right away.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Please, decide quickly.
