In-Game Conversations
Chapter 10; Prisoner Release
Brom: Uh...tell me something, will you? What's going to happen to us? Those Daein
soldiers took my friends away, and they didn't never come back. What did they do to them?!
Oh, something bad happened, I just know it!
Kieran: Quiet, fool! Keep your cowardly mutterings to yourself. It matters not what
vile torture they devise. A true Knight of Crimea is bold, steadfast, and strong. I care
not if they pull out my nails with tongs or insert pins into the soft flesh of my underbelly
or yank-
Brom: STOP IT! I can't bear torture! I'm not a professional soldier! I'm just part of
the militia! I can't believe I left my family behind for this...will I ever see them again?
Oh, I want to go home.
Kieran: Curses. If only I had a weapon of some sort.
Oscar: You're from Cremia, right? Come on - we're here to rescue you. We've opened your
cell, now is the time to escape.
Kieran: Ah! It's you!
Oscar: Pardon?
Kieran: I could never forget that squint! Knights of Cremia, Twelfth Regiment...
your name is Oscar!
Oscar: And you're...wait a moment, you're Kieran, right?
Kieran: That is correct! I am Kieran...The same Kieran who has sworn himself to be your
eternal rival!
Oscar: Uh...right...Kieran...so...how've you been? You look good.
Kieran: As always, your manner is listless and inappropriate. It befits one who would
call me foe! You were discharged 3 years ago...what are you doing here now? Ah! Could it be...
you dastard! You've turned your coat and gone over to Daein, haven't you? Rarrrr! What
dispicable, contemptable behavior! Unforgivable! Have you no shame? You were my one true
rival! Where has your pride gone?
Oscar: The mercenary company I'm attatched to serves under the command of the princess
of Cremia! We came here to free any Cremian prisoners.
Kieran: The princess of Cremia?!? You're not part of the royal guard! How do you
know about the princess?
Oscar: Well, like I said, the princess is our employer and-
Kieran: Ah! So that's your scheme, is it? You hope to distinguish yourself by
meritorious service and gain the glory that is rightfully mine! Admit it!
Oscar: Look, my duty is-
Kieran: Blast you! Curse your name! Curse the name of Oscar and all who call him kin!
I will never let you surpass me! Princess! I'm coming! Kieran will forever be at your side!
Oscar: Whoa...he's even more excitable than I remember. Hard to believe he's
actually a decent knight...
Ike: I've brought one of the Crimean soldiers who was being held prisoner.
Elincia: Ahem. I'm sure you are unaware of this, but I am...
Kieran: Princess Elincia!
Elincia: oh...yes. Quite right.
Kieran: I am Kieran! I served under General Geoffrey, as leader of Crimea's 5th
platoon. My platoon had the honor of escorting you from the palace during Daein's attack!
Elincia: Really? You were there when...
Kieran: I was! Lord Renning ordered my platoon to accompany General Geoffrey and
serve as your escort. Our mission was to see you safely out of Crimea to Gallia's king.
But we failed you...and when you were lost to us...I believed my worthless life was at its
end...Yet here you are! To think that I would be so blessed as to see you again...such
emotion...I...the tears...sniff...
Elincia: Were there any others?
Kieran: Such terrific emotion...So--I beg your pardon?
Elincia: Did anyone other than yourself survive?
Kieran: Of course! Though I was the only one unfortunate enough to suffer the misery of
captivity. General Geoffrey and several of his soldiers fought off the Daein attack. They were
able to slip away. Even now, they wait in Crimea, hoping for one last chance to strike a blow against
Daein.
Elincia: Geoffrey...He is alive? Ah...how those words drive off the sorrow s across my heart...
thank you, Kieran. Thank you...for surviving.
Kieran: You are too kind, Your Highness. The opportunity to serve you again is the
greatest reward I could ask for. For as long as I draw breath, I will stand ready at your side!
This, I swear.
