Byleth, Mercedes enter the scene

Caspar enters the scene

Professor! Mercedes! What are you two doing here?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Um, we were just talking. Why do you look so flustered?
link
Caspar
volume_up

Haven't you heard? An Imperial army was spotted near Garreg Mach!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh. Do you think they came to scout?
link
Caspar
volume_up

Maybe? We could probably take care of 'em if that's the case...
link
Caspar
volume_up

But I heard the Death Knight is out there!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

The Death Knight...
link
Caspar
volume_up

Don't you remember? He's the guy who abducted Flayn!
link
Caspar
volume_up

We fought him a bunch of times after that! Right, Mercedes? Oh. Is something the matter?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

N-no. It's nothing. Really...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Now's probably not the time, but I was just thinking of my brother.
link
Caspar
volume_up

You have a brother?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Yes, but we have different fathers. He was a year younger than me.
link
Caspar
volume_up

Why'd he suddenly come to mind?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You see—

Knight of Seiros enters the scene
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

Quickly! You must prepare for battle!
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

The Death Knight has been spotted in the Sealed Forest!
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

He only has a few troops with him, so we planned on taking him out with just the knights, but...
link
Knight of Seiros
volume_up

We can't guarantee that reinforcements won't arrive. We would appreciate your backup, just in case.
link
Knight of Seiros leaves the scene
link
Mercedes
volume_up

The Death Knight... I have to go...
link
Caspar
volume_up

Mercedes, wait! I don't know what's going on with you, but...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

No! I have to go see him!
link
Caspar
volume_up

Yeah, we can't let him get away! I'll help Mercedes find the Death Knight!
link
Caspar
volume_up

You go gather the others and meet up with us, Professor!
link
Caspar
volume_up

We don't really have time to sit around and think, but a little prep can't hurt against the Death Knight.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Yes... You two are right...
link
Caspar
volume_up

Let me know when you're ready. Try not to take too long though, all right?
link
Caspar
volume_up

It's not like the Death Knight is just gonna wander around the forest waiting for us to find him.
