>>5287649>“What?! What are you saying? None of this makes any sense. Why go to war with the Church of Seiros?! Fodlan’s been at peace for decades!”Corrine shrugs, sadly. “Supposedly, to topple the Archbishop from her unjust seat of power. To change the status quo, and wrest control away from those born with Crests. But who knows what the real reason is? We’re soldiers, Blair. We do what they say. What I do know, is that Faerghus as well as Leicester, are likely to be drawn into the conflict. Fodlan will be engulfed in a continent-wide war.”
>“And Lady Edelgard supports this?!”“Emperor Edelgard.” Corrine corrects. “Our dear girl has moved up quite a bit in the world since we last saw her. The information hasn’t been made public yet, but during her recent trip to Enbarr, she finally took the throne.”
>Place your faith in Edelgard. Hubert’s words ring in your mind, as do the Count’s letters. They make a bit more sense now, but they don’t make the current situation any less complex. You get a sinking feeling that Dorothea and the others aren’t being held up by the Holy Ritual. “Where are the Professor and the others? You’re dressed for combat…what’s going to happen tonight?”“By now, they’ve likely been ambushed by the Flame Emperor’s Army at the Holy Tomb. They may heed Edelgard’s pleas to join her, or they may have a fight on their hands.”
>“And…am I in the same boat?”Corrine looks hurt. “Never. You’re a dear friend, Blair. Someone important to me. I won’t let anyone harm you, no matter who they may be.” She hisses, taking another glance out the window. “My orders were to explain the situation and ask you to join us on our mission tonight. But whatever decision you make, I will support you. Wholeheartedly.” She clutches the insignia of the Flame Emperor’s Army. “I told you before. My dream was to find someone worthy of my loyalty. Who I could serve with every fiber of my being. I don’t care about the Empire or the Church of Seiros. I care nothing for Edelgard, or Hubert, or the Archbishop. I’ve been alone my entire life. Shunned by family and peers. You were the first person to show me kindness that wasn’t based on wanting to use me. I believe…that you may be the person that I’ve been seeking to pledge myself to.” She looks up at you, and smiles. “You won’t be in this alone. That I promise.”
>For once in her life, Corrine looks earnest. You don’t get the impression she’s lying to you. “This is…too much. I have…questions.”“Ask away, but know we don’t have much time.”
>Choose 3 questions to ask>A): What is your mission tonight?>B): What is the Empire planning against the monastery?>C): Did you know about Monica and Kronya?>D): Do you believe there may be someone else pulling the strings of the Empire?>E): Do you trust Edelgard?>F): Were you involved with kidnapping Flayn?>G): What happens if we don’t join Edelgard?
