We really did it… We did it! We freed Zofia!

The name is Alm—not “farmboy.”

What a refreshing feeling. Like a new door has opened before me.

But I haven’t trained enough. I can see how much I have left to learn when I’m with the other Heroes here.

I AM thrilled, but… Desaix’s dying words have been troubling me. Something about my grandfather and Emperor Rudolf.

You’re talking about Mathilda, right? I heard what happened. She’s…special to you, isn’t she?

But how can you be—

I was just thinking how lucky you are...to have such a caring older brother, I mean.

Celica! Is this…just an illusion? Is it really you?

Comrades, huh? I wonder what they’re like? I’m excited to meet them!

Feel our bond!

Feel our bond!

You need some healing.

Comrades, huh? I wonder what they’re like? I’m excited to meet them!

Gray and I might have gotten a liiiitle carried away during sword practice...

Lukas! Were you able to speak with my grandfather? What did he say?

Berkut… I guess they’re serious about holding the border.

Impressive!

Get outta here!

Love you, Celica!

Ha ha ha! THERE’S the Clair I like.

That’s Emperor Rudolf… This is strange… I’m not sure what I’m feeling at the moment. He’s caused so much suffering, and I know I should hate him, but…I can’t. Instead he just feels… I don’t know. Familiar, somehow?

I want to, but… …… All right. If you think me worthy, then I won’t let you down.

You mean…we won?

When I first learned what happened, I felt deceived. You should have told me about my father and where I was from. But, while I felt deceived, that wasn’t the thing that hurt me. What hurt me was… finding out that you’re not really my grandfather.

So many Heroes here, and so many wearing such...exciting outfits! Has Celica worn anything like that too?

This is my strength.

You’re kidding, right?

What? No! Celica, you can’t! Tell me he’s lying!

I can see the town over past the wall. Hellooooooo! ...Wait, they can't hear me.

This must be the war room. It looks...lived in.

You never fail us.

Why are you here? Last I checked, you served Desaix.

Careful!

*cough cough* Gods, there's sand everywhere in here!

Whoa, what’s wrong? …Celica? Did something happen? Are things not going as well as you’d hoped? Augh, I wish you were here in person! I don’t know what to… Please don’t cry.

This is great, guys. Count me in, too. I’m pretty handy with a plow, actually. I’ll show you guys how it’s done!

Heh. I remember climbing this orange tree as a kid. Even fell out of it once.

End of the line!

We did it! The outpost is ours!

Are you OK?

I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to... everything.

…Why not? You sure do like putting me on the spot. Didn’t we have a similar conversation years ago?

You leave me no choice!

Sorry, Lukas. My legs were moving before I had a chance to even think.

Being a king doesn't change who I am. I want to keep fighting at everyone's side.

Ugh... I can't believe this. I must look like such a weakling. He is surely disappointed beyond words...

I'll grind you to dust!

I'm impressed.

Nrgh… If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear I was speaking to a blue blood. My station doesn’t matter, Celica. I’m here because I was called. I have a duty to perform, and I’ll perform it. No more, and no less.
