>>5289124>“What of the others? What happens if they say no?”“As for me, and some other of our fellow classmates who are currently in the midst of making a very tumultuous decision…” She trails off. “If we refuse, our families will likely be rounded up, tried for treason or some such and executed. Not a big deal for me, personally, though I can think of a few Black Eagles who might mind.”
>You believe they’ll join Edelgard then?”She nods. “I’m certain of it. Ferdinand, Caspar and Bernadetta most certainly. They’re of high noble blood. Petra as well. Her status as a hostage complicates matters for those she left behind in Brigid. The others will likely fall in as well afterwards. The biggest wild card is our dear Professor. Hard to tell what goes on in that one’s mind.”
>You want to ask Corrine more questions, but before you can, an explosion from far off in the monastery occurs, the force of which almost sends you falling to the floor. “What was that?!”“Shit!” Corrine hisses, staring out the window again, as if looking for something. “We’ve taken too long here.” She turns to you, grabs your hands, and stares you deep in the eyes.
“I know this is far from the ideal situation to make a decision that will impact the rest of your life, but it’s far more time and under less threatening circumstances than Dorothea or our classmates had. Our mission tonight is to open the western gate of Garreg Mach, allowing the Empire’s troops to file in. If you wish to place your faith in Edelgard and Adrestia…if you wish to do what is expected of you by Count Rusalka…then we must go now and play our part! Otherwise…we need to get out of here. And fast. Because in another hour, this place is going to resemble something closer to Hell than a monastery.”
This is a nightmare. But she’s right. You knew for months now that a war was coming. You knew what the circumstances would entail, and you knew you’d be called to fight in it. There’s no more time for hesitation. You must make your decision now.
>A): Support Edelgard>B): Refuse to support Edelgard
