Please don’t judge my grandfather. I know he had his reasons. Even if I don’t know what they are. But I promise you that I’ll fight every bit as hard as he would have. …Or harder! I just don’t want you think that… I mean, he’s not—

Stand down, Jedah! Your schemes end here and now. Prepare to pay for your atrocities!

I’m just saying we could do it together. …Fighting, I mean. Not the lance. Grandfather trained all of us, right? Not just me. You already know how to use a sword and a bow. So what’s the problem?

Am I sure about what?

*sigh* I wish Luthier hadn’t said that…

Huh? That was Faye!

That’s…very strange.

And don’t think I haven’t heard what the Rigelian army has been up to. They’ve been crossing the border for years in violation of the Divine Accord. And with that sacred bond broken, now the Terrors have resurfaced as well…

You’ve been acting strange for a while now. Whatever secret you’re harboring, I know it weighs heavy on you. I’ve been scared to broach the subject because I could sense it was about me.

But how can you be—

Yes. I promise. Isn’t that what you want?

Honestly, Tobin? I panicked. I said a frantic prayer to the charm Celica gave me and then… It must have been her. She saved us.

Grandpapa, Celica, that was great!

No. …Of course not. I’m just still wrapping my head around sitting on your father’s throne. None of it feels real.

Get away from my friends! You’re not going to set one foot in our village!

What, this? I don’t know, actually. I’ve just always had it.

General Ezekiel. Have you given any more consideration to what we spoke of before?

I’m feeling something…strange. I need to take a look.

Tobin! Everyone! Are you all right?

Celica, don’t do this!
