1 125 Melia Antiqua, First Princess,[XENO:n ] has returned, Your Majesty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
2 125 Raise your head.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
3 125 Your Majesty.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
4 125 The Telethia rained havoc on countless veteran knights.[XENO:n ] You triumphed where they could not.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
5 125 I find it difficult to suppress these[XENO:n ] feelings of pride for you, my kin.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT1 ][XENO:del del=this ]
6 125 But, Your Majesty, I failed to return with[XENO:n ] any of the subjects you entrusted to me.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
7 125 My inexperience cost them their lives.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
8 125 We will grieve for them, but it[XENO:n ] could not have been avoided.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
9 125 It was their duty and honour[XENO:n ] to fight beside you.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
10 125 They were all aware of your limits.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
11 125 Emperor.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
12 125 Keep those feelings of frustration close to you.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
13 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]It will help you to remember the debt[XENO:n ] you owe to those that have fallen.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
14 125 Your Majesty, concerning such debts,[XENO:n ] there were others who aided me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
15 125 The Homs and Nopon that accompanied you[XENO:n ] to the capital?[XENO:wait wait=key ]
16 125 They have been arrested by Imperial Security.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
17 125 Shulk and his companions?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
18 125 [XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Yes. For reasons pertaining to the[XENO:n ] weapon this Shulk possesses.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
19 125 Shulk's weapon...[XENO:wait wait=key ]
20 125 Do you mean the Monado?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
21 125 So it is true.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
22 125 If that weapon is truly the Monado,[XENO:n ] we shall be forced to take action.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
23 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]Why?![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
24 125 There is a legend, passed down through the generations.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
25 125 Of a divine weapon - the Monado.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
26 125 It is said that the Bionis itself bestows[XENO:n ] the blade upon a chosen one.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
27 125 However, if the chosen one is black of heart,[XENO:n ] he will cause the destruction of the High Entia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
28 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Among High Entia exist the good and bad alike.[XENO:n ] Homs and Nopon are no different.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ]
29 125 [XENO:act act=EVT2 ]If this boy is the chosen one...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
30 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]The divine seer's interrogation will[XENO:n ] reveal where his allegiances lie.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
31 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]So you intend to keep them confined?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT5 ][XENO:del del=this ]
32 125 We must.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
33 125 Father! I mean... Your Majesty![XENO:wait wait=key ]
34 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT13 ]I assure you Shulk is of pure heart![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
35 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]As my successor, you will play a role of great importance.[XENO:n ] Calm your spirit and be patient.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ]
36 125 I...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
37 125 Dear sister, I can see the Emperor's[XENO:n ] words have confused you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
38 125 Brother.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
39 125 His Majesty has spoken. He recognises you[XENO:n ] as the crown princess.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT1 ]
40 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]You are to be the next[XENO:n ] ruler of the High Entia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
41 125 Me? And not you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
42 125 [XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Yes. The Emperor asked for my counsel,[XENO:n ] and I told him as I tell you now.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
43 125 You will make a fine Empress. There is[XENO:n ] no one more suited to leading our people.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
44 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]You proved that when you[XENO:n ] dispatched the Telethia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
45 125 [XENO:act act=EVT2 ]I don't know what to...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
46 125 Melia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
47 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT10 ]But the soldiers... I am not fit to rule.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
48 125 I should visit their families and beg for pardon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
49 125 Melia, you know that this is not allowed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
50 125 [XENO:act act=EVT1 ]I know, but it does nothing for the guilt I feel.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
51 125 It is as the Emperor said. Grieve their departing,[XENO:n ] and engrave in your heart their great deeds.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
52 125 [XENO:act act=EVT1 ]I will.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
53 125 You are right to question these things.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
54 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]But take pride in who you are.[XENO:n ] The Emperor has chosen wisely in you, Melia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ]
55 125 I am to be crown princess.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
56 125 Yes, you are.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
57 125 The Ministries of Research and Records are[XENO:n ] united in support of His Majesty's decision.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
58 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]I, Minister Lorithia, have no objection[XENO:n ] to your appointment.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
59 125 I understand.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
60 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]I would never openly question[XENO:n ] our divine emperor.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ]
61 125 But the wielder of the Monado, the chosen one,[XENO:n ] might be a useful tool.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
62 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]You think so too?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
63 125 [XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Yes.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
64 125 But a lowly servant of the realm such as myself[XENO:n ] could never question His Majesty.[XENO:wait wait=key ]
65 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]However, if the divine seer were to intervene...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
66 125 [XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]The seer could free Shulk?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ]
67 125 They should be exchanging words as we speak.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ]
