>You’re surprised at just how quickly this entire situation has turned south. You imagined you might have some explaining to do once you came face to face with Dimitri again, but you had no idea things would turn this hostile. If he had any goodwill for the work you’d done for him in the past, it was long gone. Still, you might as well try. “Your Grace, I came here because I wished to pay the Kingdom back for all the good it did me. I am not here in any capacity for Claude and the Alliance. I simply wish to help you as a friend of the Kingdom.”

“You call yourself a friend, and yet you were quick to accept the schemer’s gold once offered to you.” Dimitri answers. “Was the promise of nobility under the Kingdom too tantalizing an offer for you to reject?”

>By now, with what Mercedes had told you and finally seeing him for yourself, you feel as though you’ve gained a good grasp on Dimitri. You decide to try appealing to his newfound interests. “Your Grace…I have always been forward that my enemy is the Adrestian Empire, as well as the snakes who control it from within. Since joining with Claude, I have fought primarily against the Empire, and vanquished many of those snakes slithering in the dark within its ranks. Now, I wish to renew my pledge to you, and continue rooting out those fiends. That is, and has always been, my priority.”

Dimitri’s eye narrows as he takes you in deeper. “Ahh yes, the specters you were so fond of. I’ll hold you to your word, sellsword, but I will brook no tricks from you. Should I sense a hint of betrayal or deception from you, I will have no issue slaying you like the Imperial you really are.”

Rodrigue clears his throat. “My lord, the Blackwings have done much good for us in the past. I trust that Blair and her company will be a strong addition to our ranks. Now that she’s here, I’d like to discuss our next move, if you would allow.”

Dimitri waves him off. “Go on.”

“Thank you, my lord.” Rodrigue bows, before addressing you and the others present. “At our current pace, we are set to arrive at Gronder Field within two days. Preliminary scouting from our pegasus knights suggests that the Empire’s army likely numbers around 10,000. This includes regular infantry, as well as spellcasters and calvary, both grounded and flying. There are also likely an unknown number of Demonic Beasts being shepherded through as well. Furthermore, the flag of House Hresvelg has been seen at the helm of their host, suggesting that it is likely none other than the Adrestian Empire herself leading this army.”

“Edelgard…” Dimitri mutters under his breath. “You finally show yourself. How nice of you to meet me at Gronder rather than make me go all the way to Enbarr to rip your black heart out.”

I hope that fortune finds you well in these trying times. Word of your deeds against the Almyran army reached us even here in Fraldarius. I was glad to hear that you and your men had emerged triumphant over the foreign invaders.

I write to you this letter to request your services as a mercenary. His Majesty, King Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, the True King of Faerghus, has once more resumed control of the Kingdom’s Royal Army. As we speak, the King martials his men to push against the Imperial menace. He plans to march soon at the helm of a large host, with his target being none other than the Imperial Capital, Enbarr. It is there that he wishes to strike a decisive blow against the Empress and put an end to her tyranny. Before that can happen though, both Imperial and Kingdom forces will likely clash on the field of Gronder. Though we understand you are under the service of the Leicester Alliance’s leader, we request that you join our forces. From your work at Charon to rescuing the King at Bulgar, you have always proven yourself a friend to the Kingdom.

We have been fighting a war on two fronts, against both the traitorous Dukedom as well as the Empire. All of our resources and manpower have been pooled into this final strike that must succeed. As a result, we cannot offer you much. However, should you choose to align yourself with us at Gronder Field, we can promise you a position of nobility within the Faerghus Kingdom after the war has concluded, as well as your own domain to rule over.

May the Goddess protect you and yours, Blair. We hope to see you soon.

Rodrigue Achille Fraldarius – Duke of Fraldarius.”

The Kingdom wanted to contract you again? For what sounded like a suicidal attack against the Empire, at that. Gronder was a significant battlefield in Fodlan’s history. It was where the Adrestian Empire had emerged victorious over the King of Liberation, Nemesis. Moreover, it was where the Battle of the Eagle and Lion mock battle took place each year at Garreg Mach. Only this time, it was to be the site of what promised to be the bloodiest battle in this war yet.

>“What do you think?” You ask Corrine.

Corrine ponders for a moment. “The last time we saw King Dimitri, he wasn’t exactly the picture of sanity, was he? I notice the dear old Duke’s letter fails to mention anything about how the King is doing. Given that he’s choosing to rush straight into Enbarr and leave everything else behind for the Dukedom to swallow up, I can’t imagine much has changed. Isn’t that right?” She directs her question to the Faerghus messenger, who blushes and turns away.

“Y-your decision, Lady Weaver?” The messenger stammers out. “I know that my lord is most expectant of an answer!”

>A): Tell Rodrigue we’ll be there.
>B): I’m sorry, but I must decline.
>C): This is too grand a decision to make on the spot. I must think it over.
>D): Claude is my employer. I should consult with him first.
>E): Write-in

Dimitri had nothing but bloodshed on his mind, and there was no convincing him otherwise. While you don’t doubt that together you’d make short work of Kleiman’s men, it would not be without incurring severe losses of your own. You decide to follow your original orders and place your faith in Dedue. Dimitri’s strength is terrifying to behold. It takes several men working together, including Theo and Dedue, to restrain the King before he can go on his rampage. He throws a punch that nearly knocks Theo unconscious, but others take his place, and eventually Dimitri is dragged back. Dedue brings the restrained King towards your mount, but as he approaches, Beathan uncharacteristically bristles and begins panicking, and it takes all your effort to get your steed under control. Instead, Dedue settles on borrowing a Wyvern from one of your men and taking Dimitri himself.

With the King restrained, still yelling obscenities towards his own men as well as the approaching Kleiman army, you take your leave. Your destination is further south into Fraldarius territory, where you will be able to meet with part of the Duke’s army. Kleiman’s forces seize control of the town of Bulgar but fail in their objective of capturing Dimitri. With little to show for his efforts, the Viscount attempts to make his way back to his ships, only to be cut off by a Fraldarius army that had returned from the front lines. The Viscount is personally slain by none other than Felix, and his army completely routed. The loss is not only an embarrassment for the Dukedom, but the last chance they would have to locate Dimitri for several years.

You hand over Dimitri to the Duke of Fraldarius and Felix’s father, Rodrigue. The man seems to be no stranger to Dimitri’s new “personality” and offers you his thanks for your continued service to Faerghus. It is unknown how the Viscount learned of Dimitri’s whereabouts, but for safety purposes, the western lords plan to keep Dimitri hidden away in Fraldarius territory, until the time comes that they can successfully reclaim the capital. Before Dimitri is escorted away, you get a moment alone to chat with him. You ask if he had thought about what you’d spoken on previously, regarding the shapeshifters. He seems to hardly care about this. His time in the capital was brief before “that vile snake woman” Cornelia enacted her plan. The Royal Academy of Sorcery in Fhirdiad was one of the first institutions that she had taken over. He brushes you off, stating that there are more important things to deal with than chasing shadows, and that he has no delusions on who his true enemies are. That was the last you’d seen of him.

You later find out that this Cornelia was a woman who had saved Faerghus from a great plague that had been ravaging the land. She was far and wide considered a holy woman, rising to the rank of Court Mage for her deeds. Why the sudden shift in personality? You have your ideas.
