What good was your militia? |
| 2 |
|
bf11590150_0020 |
82 |
They could not halt Malos,
nor even safeguard the seal from his clutches. |
| 3 |
|
bf11590150_0030 |
82 |
I have no excuses. |
| 4 |
|
bf11590150_0040 |
82 |
Addam... |
| 5 |
|
bf11590150_0050 |
82 |
Hmph. |
| 6 |
|
bf11590150_0060 |
82 |
Majesty. This is a deep dishonor. |
| 7 |
|
bf11590150_0070 |
82 |
I beseech you to lay them low,
that the people may have faith in government! |
| 8 |
|
bf11590150_0080 |
82 |
Majesty! |
| 9 |
|
bf11590150_0090 |
82 |
Brother, your advice is wise. |
| 10 |
|
bf11590150_0100 |
82 |
Your Majesty... |
| 11 |
|
bf11590150_0110 |
82 |
Please, wait a moment. |
| 12 |
|
bf11590150_0120 |
82 |
Addam only sought to protect your realm. |
| 13 |
|
bf11590150_0130 |
82 |
Silence!
Is your voice more important than the king's? |
| 14 |
|
bf11590150_0140 |
82 |
But what of you, Zettar? |
| 15 |
|
bf11590150_0150 |
82 |
What of me? |
| 16 |
|
bf11590150_0160 |
82 |
Look first to yourself, I bid you. |
| 17 |
|
bf11590150_0170 |
82 |
W-what do you mean...? |
| 18 |
|
bf11590150_0180 |
82 |
Surely, Addam sailed the ship into a rocky reef. |
| 19 |
|
bf11590150_0190 |
82 |
But if he were the bow, you were the stern. |
| 20 |
|
bf11590150_0200 |
82 |
Y-Your Majesty, those are bitter words. |
| 21 |
|
bf11590150_0210 |
82 |
It was Addam's vanguard that let slip Malos! |
| 22 |
|
bf11590150_0220 |
82 |
Would our army have succeeded with certainty, brother? |
| 23 |
|
bf11590150_0230 |
82 |
In the hour of need, where were they? |
| 24 |
|
bf11590150_0240 |
82 |
W-we set the defense of the people as
our highest goal, Your Majesty. |
| 25 |
|
bf11590150_0250 |
82 |
Our soldiers guided the townsfolk to safety. |
| 26 |
|
bf11590150_0260 |
82 |
...While Addam's militia flew, though rashly,
into the breach. |
| 27 |
|
bf11590150_0270 |
82 |
And the brave dragoons of noble Hugo wagered
their lives as mere trifles for our nation's sake. |
| 28 |
|
bf11590150_0280 |
82 |
B-but...I... |
| 29 |
|
bf11590150_0290 |
82 |
It unfolded thus. |
| 30 |
|
bf11590150_0300 |
82 |
If honor took its natural course,
the sons of Torna should have stood their ground. |
| 31 |
|
bf11590150_0310 |
82 |
[ML:undisp ]... |
| 32 |
|
bf11590150_0320 |
82 |
Mark their honor above their frailty. |
| 33 |
|
bf11590150_0330 |
82 |
You saw the battle with your own eyes,
did you not, my brother? |
| 34 |
|
bf11590150_0340 |
82 |
I-I did... |
| 35 |
|
bf11590150_0350 |
82 |
And how did you think it? |
| 36 |
|
bf11590150_0360 |
82 |
Words can scarcely describe it. |
| 37 |
|
bf11590150_0370 |
82 |
It was unlike any mere human struggle.
I fear I could not report it justly. |
| 38 |
|
bf11590150_0380 |
82 |
Indeed, brother. |
| 39 |
|
bf11590150_0390 |
82 |
[ML:undisp ]? |
| 40 |
|
bf11590150_0400 |
82 |
It was a fight beyond our ken. |
| 41 |
|
bf11590150_0410 |
82 |
I too saw it with my own eyes. |
| 42 |
|
bf11590150_0420 |
82 |
Our Tornan crafts of war would have been
doubly doomed against Malos. |
| 43 |
|
bf11590150_0430 |
82 |
That's... |
| 44 |
|
bf11590150_0440 |
82 |
Is it not folly to assume that our army could do
what Addam's could not? |
| 45 |
|
bf11590150_0450 |
82 |
Your Majesty... |
| 46 |
|
bf11590150_0460 |
82 |
[ML:undisp ]... |
| 47 |
|
bf11590150_0470 |
82 |
Noble Hugo... My brother forgets grace and gratitude. |
| 48 |
|
bf11590150_0480 |
82 |
Our nation hangs over doom like a ripened fruit. |
| 49 |
|
bf11590150_0490 |
82 |
You and yours are our final ray of hope. |
| 50 |
|
bf11590150_0500 |
82 |
Will you offer us aid again,
to avenge ourselves on the Aegis? |
| 51 |
|
bf11590150_0510 |
82 |
We came with that very intention, Your Majesty. |
| 52 |
|
bf11590150_0520 |
82 |
Didn't we, Prince Addam? |
| 53 |
|
bf11590150_0530 |
82 |
Yes. |
| 54 |
|
bf11590150_0540 |
82 |
Majesty... |
| 55 |
|
bf11590150_0542 |
82 |
If it must be so, I will expend my life
for the future of the land of my forefathers. |
| 56 |
|
bf11590150_0550 |
82 |
While we're here... |
| 57 |
|
bf11590150_0560 |
82 |
Your name is Lora, is it not? |
| 58 |
|
bf11590150_0570 |
82 |
Huh, me?
Y-yes! |
| 59 |
|
bf11590150_0580 |
82 |
Your work impressed me deeply. |
| 60 |
|
bf11590150_0590 |
82 |
No...I... |
| 61 |
|
bf11590150_0600 |
82 |
Yet you are no knight, bear no peerage... |
| 62 |
|
bf11590150_0610 |
82 |
Yes... I'm from a settlement in the distant borderlands. |
| 63 |
|
bf11590150_0620 |
82 |
I serve with a mercenary band. |
| 64 |
|
bf11590150_0630 |
82 |
I knew you for a warrior. |
| 65 |
|
bf11590150_0640 |
82 |
Good Lora.
I would like to recognize your valiant labors. |
| 66 |
|
bf11590150_0650 |
82 |
The title of knight of the realm...
It is yours, if you would accept it. |
| 67 |
|
bf11590150_0660 |
82 |
Me, a knight? |
| 68 |
|
bf11590150_0670 |
82 |
Lora, my congratulations. |
| 69 |
|
bf11590150_0680 |
82 |
I can hardly believe it... Me? |
| 70 |
|
bf11590150_0690 |
82 |
Come now. A title is a mere decoration. |
| 71 |
|
bf11590150_0700 |
82 |
Surely you learned that from me. |
| 72 |
|
bf11590150_0710 |
82 |
I hope it will raise your spirits a little, Lora. |
| 73 |
|
bf11590150_0720 |
82 |
Humble Lora. I have a request I must make of you. |
| 74 |
|
bf11590150_0730 |
82 |
This day, the people of our nation shiver in the
darkest of shadows, cast by mighty Malos. |
| 75 |
|
bf11590150_0740 |
82 |
But I bid that you seed a flower of hope in this shadow-mired land. |
| 76 |
|
bf11590150_0750 |
82 |
I hope that I can. |
| 77 |
|
bf11590150_0760 |
82 |
Your Majesty... |
| 78 |
|
bf11590150_0770 |
82 |
I'll do my best. |
| 79 |
|
bf11590150_0780 |
82 |
Well spoken, brave Lora. |
| 80 |
|
bf11590150_0790 |
82 |
We shall annoint thee as Lady Lora
tomorrow in the plaza before the palace! |
