Thank the goddess you were unharmed, my lord. And that the Relic is safe and sound.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

Yes, thanks to your intervention. Today was a day to make my blood run cold.
link
Constance
volume_up

Colder than a Sreng winter, I'd wager. Our foes gave us a pitched battle...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yeah... They were nothing more than pawns...
link
Constance
volume_up

I am sorry to say that the ringleader's escape was my fault.
link
Constance
volume_up

It is a miracle that no harm came to your lordship or the Relic in spite of my clumsy efforts.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

You don't sound quite yourself, Constance. I'd no idea what a toll life has taken on you.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

Perhaps it might cheer you to know that I intend to reward you for all that you've done today.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

For more than that, actually. I owe your parents a great debt for their services.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

I dare say that the church intended you to collect on it when they sent you.
link
Constance
volume_up

The debt you owed my parents need not extend to their daughter. No reward shall be necessary.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Our help doesn't come for free. I think the Relic will do nicely.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

Ah... Yes, by all means. Even if you have no use for it, perhaps you know somebody who does.

Duke Gerth
volume_up

These are the Fetters of Dromi. They draw on the power of the Crest of Aubin.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

It's a priceless treasure that ended up in Dagda. After the truce, they sent it to us in friendship.
link
Why did Dagda have a Hero's Relic?

Duke Gerth

One story holds that Saint Seiros subjugated the 10 Elites and the clans who followed them.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

There may have been a few clan elders who fled across the sea to escape suppression.

Duke Gerth

The Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs must hold on to every bit of leverage that he can.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

As the Empire's relations with the church have chilled, it makes for a strong card to play.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

The Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs must hold on to every bit of leverage that he can.
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

Which is why I feel a bit derelict in my duty here. I've put my feelings ahead of my role.
link
How so?
link
Duke Gerth
volume_up

The Minister of Foreign Affairs appears to be discarding his hand in order to repay a personal debt.
link
Constance
volume_up

My lord...

Yuri, Byleth, Constance enter the scene

Constance
volume_up

Oh, what a relief to be back at the monastery! I suppose the church will be wanting their Relic.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, they might, but I've got grander plans for it.
link
Constance
volume_up

What?! Of all the self-centered—
link
Constance
volume_up

Wait. Do you mean to say that you're compatible? You bear the Crest of Aubin?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Very good, Constance! Hey, friend, I've got a request.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Can you talk the church into letting me borrow the Relic for a bit?
link
Constance
volume_up

If you believe anyone would lend you a Relic, your wits are softer than I gave you credit for!
link
Yuri
volume_up

The Crest of Aubin has all but vanished from Fódlan. Nobody but me carries it now.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I'm the only one in all of Fódlan who can use it. The church hanging on to it is useless.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Letting me make use of it is simply practical. Otherwise it'll just be gathering dust in some stinky old vault.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Don't you worry your pretty little head. I won't use it for ill. I'd never be able to make it up to Duke Gerth, after all.
link
Yuri
volume_up

You can keep an eye on them while they're on loan. That'll make this whole thing go over easy as pie.
link
Constance
volume_up

So this was the game you began when you offered your assistance. Well played.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Thanks! I figure the duke has no use for them, and neither does the church. But I sure do.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Ultimately, I want to use them to benefit the greater good. There's certainly no harm in that.
