I’ve none to blame for this but myself… Such trivialities matter not at this point.

But we must press on, if we are to put an end to this long war. The lord of this temple awaits… and here I am, terrified of him. Masked Knight: Stop flapping your jaws and focus on the fight! I’d prefer not to die here, if it’s all the same to you two fools! Duma TempleĪlm: Whatever lies at the end of these corridors possesses a frightful aura-it sets the hairs on the back of my neck on end. Saber: Did you hear me say anything about running away? Gimme some credit here, you little snot! So much for “begone to wherever you will,” you damn useless priest!īoey: And what is that supposed to mean? You’re not actually thinking of leaving Celica in there and running away?! Saber: Blast it all! This place is crawling with Terrors. But know that it is a path not easily returned from. Mycen: It leads to the altar beneath Duma Tower. So I beg leniency of you, if only to respect Emperor Rudolf’s wishes. Still, Berkut was his nephew, and the same age as the son he parted with. And yet, the prospect of your being discovered was too great a risk. The emperor knew that keeping the boy in ignorance could only bring him pain. He weighed heavy on Emperor Rudolf’s mind for many years. Massena: A moment, Prince Albein? I ask that you show Lord Berkut compassion. I don’t care if you’re the emperor or a swineherd so long as we… Berkut?īerkut: Were you laughing along with them? Rudolf, Massena, and all the rest? Watching me toil away while you knew I would never become emperor! Was every kind word part of the act? Every smile an act of PITY?!īerkut: Duma! O ancient god! I call out to you now! Grant me the power to set this land to ruin for good and all! Take of me what price you will! I care not anymore!įernand: Wh-who are you? What have you done to Lady Rinea? Grand Portal Rinea: To stand at your side is all I’ve ever desired. I never… The truth is, I never wanted to be empress. Rinea: Berkut! You mustn’t say such things. So I’m to live in this Alm’s shadow? Throw myself upon his mercy? I would sooner an honorable death at the executioner’s blade! I’m certain he’ll treat you fair.īerkut: And I’m to be content with that?!īerkut: I wanted to BEAT him, Rinea! To dispatch him and claim the throne! I wanted to make you my empress and hold all Valentia in our palms together! But what of those dreams now…? Even Rigel alone is now forever beyond my grasp. Plying the gods’ mercies is what men do in hopeless situations, is it not? You always hated the Faithful, after all.īerkut: This is true… But then I had the throne snatched from under me by some magical heir. This is the last place I would have expected to find you. Rinea: I’ve been looking all over for you. Accept me unto your soul.īerkut: That voice… Duma? Is it really you? Nothing but lies… Lies, lies, lies, lies, LIES!īerkut: Is that…an altar? How did I get here? What’s happening?ĭuma: Heed me, you who thirst for power… Call to me. All this time… All the effort! What has it all been for?! …No. Berkut: It’s not possible… Alm is the emperor’s true son? Which makes him the rightful successor to the imperial throne.
