\m[5|5]
\s[5]
Let me GO! You can't do this!|

\s[6]
Trust me, kid; we most certainly can.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Gorre]
\s[1]
The less you struggle, the easier\n
this is for all of us, Merlina.|

\s[5]
You... Gorre! My mother will have your head!\n
What would Lord Urien think of this betrayal!?|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Are you really that stupid to believe\n
I created this rebellion on my own?|\n
Lord Urien sent me to capture you, he\n
already has Lady Sebile in chains.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
W-what!? But... Why? What does\n
Lord Urien gain from betraying\n
all of Merovin for Avilion!?|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
Avilion is winning this war, that much\n
is inevitable. The alliance has always\n
held us back, Reginn especially.|

\s[5]
I don't understand...|

\s[1]
You don't have to. Someone, get the\n
girl on a horse! Make haste for Reginn!|

\s[6]
Yes, sir!|
\s[-2]

\s[1]
Now... Where did Ywain get to...?|
\s[-2]

\f[6|SoldierM-1]\fc[6|Reginn]\name[6|Soldier]
\f[5|ArcherF-1]\fc[5|Reginn]\name[5|Archer]
\s[5]
Sir, we believe he left the city\n
to look for Lord Urien in Lyngh.|
\s[-2]

\e[1|2]\m[1|2]\w[8]
\s[2]
And you allowed him? Idiots.|

\s[6]
With all due respect, Sir Gorre,\n
we were never told of Lord Urien's\n
plans to betray the alliance...|\n
So, we had no reason to deny Lord\n
Ywain from leaving Otr's capital.|

\s[2]
... Bah. Well, see to it he's found.|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2

\f[2|Pellinore]\f[5|Helizabel]
\s[2]
Do you think letting Ywain go\n
ahead of us was a bad idea, Eliza?|

\s[5]
Hmm? Why do you ask? Do you think\n
he may turn traitor like his father?|

\s[2]
No... But, I can't imagine what's\n
going through his mind right now.|\n
I'm afraid he may do something... rash.|

\s[5]
I suppose that's all the more reason\n
for us to hurry along then. Hywel?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\m[5|6]\w[4]\f[4|Pellinore]

\w[16]

\f[0|Hywel]\m[0|1]\w[4]
\s[1]
You called for me?|

\s[6]
How are we doing on time?|

\s[1]
Well... Given that recent rainfall,\n
we're a little bit behind, but we\n
should get to Otr soon enough.|

\s[4]
Before Ywain arrives?|

\s[1]
I doubt that, he took a direct route,\n
and he was sort of... running. But,\n
I'm sure we'll meet up as planned.|

\s[4]
All right...|
\s[-2]

Hmm? Why do you ask? Do you think\n

\s[2]
No... But, I can't imagine what's\n

## Scene 1
## Map, Ch4
\g[Gate]
\f[2|Gorre]\f[5|KnightM-1]\fc[5|Reginn]\name[5|Knight]
\s[2]
Well? Any sign of him yet?|

\s[5]
Not yet... But, the mercenaries we hired\n
are already in position to defend from\n
any attack coming from the east or south.|

\s[2]
I suppose that'll do for now--|
\s[-2]

\f[7|CavalierF-1]\fc[7|Reginn]\name[7|Cavalier]\m[7|6]\w[4]
\s[6]
Captain Gorre, sir!|

\s[2]
Hmm? What is it?|

\s[6]
A group of soldiers have been spotted\n
heading towards the city from the east!|

\s[2]
More mercenaries?|

\s[6]
It's unclear due to no battle standard,\n
but one of them appears to be wearing\n
Reginn's armor. It could be Lord Ywain.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Ah! Perfect, I'll meet him at the gates then.|
\s[-2]

## Scene 2
## Escanor & Lunete
\g[City Gate]
\f[5|Ywain]
\s[5]
Back in Otr... Not exactly how I\n
envisioned my return to the city.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Escanor]\f[1|Lunete]
\s[2]
The place has certainly seen better\n
days... It was only a week ago we\n
were all here for the alliance meeting.|

\s[1]
And now the city appears to be under\n
siege by mercenaries as well... Likely\n
they took advantage of the chaos.|

\s[5]
I just don't understand what my father\n
has to gain from any of this...\b[5|2] Avilion\n
will just use him and throw him away.|

\s[1]
At this point it doesn't matter given what\n
he's already done. Once we find and subdue\n
him, he will be imprisoned for his crimes.|

\m[2|2]\s[2]
N-now, hold on Lunete, it's not that--|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
No, she's right. Regardless of what we\n
learn about his motivations or reasonings,\n
he betrayed the league. He is... a traitor.|
\s[-2]

\r[1]\w[32]\r[1]

\s[1]
Lord Ywain, a group of soldiers are\n
approaching. What do you want us to do?|

\s[5]
Soldiers? Not more mercenaries?|

\s[2]
No.... And you're not going to like\n
what kind of armor they're wearing...|
\s[-2]

## Scene 3
## Gorre & Soldiers approach
\g[City]
\f[2|Gorre]\f[1|CavalierM-1]\fc[1|Reginn]\name[1|Cavalier]\w[8]
\f[5|Ywain]
\s[5]
Gorre? What are you doing here?\n
Didn't you leave with my father?|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Lord Ywain, well met. I did,\n
but he asked me to return here\n
to inform you of the good news.|\n
... Unfortunately, when I got here,\n
you were nowhere to be found.|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
Good news?! My father betrayed the\n
Merovin Alliance and Otr is under\n
attack by mercenaries! How is this good?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Ah... So you do not support Lord Urien...\n
This is unfortunate to here. I'm the\n
one in charge of these sellswords.|

\s[5]
So you all are traitors as well.\n
Surrender and I'll let you live in\n
chains until the war is over.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Surrender? Ha ha ha... Lord Ywain,\n
we have the numbers. YOU should be\n
the one giving yourself up to me.|

\s[5]
Not a chance.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Pity. Kill them all, but leave Lord\n
Ywain. Lord Urien wants him alive.|

\s[1]
Yes, Captain!|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]\f[2|nil]

## Scene 4
\g[City]
\f[5|Ywain]\w[8]\f[2|Anglesy]
\s[5]
Despicable... All of them. But,\n
this bad. We don't have the man-\n
power to take on this many enemies.|
I should have pretended to go along\n
with Gorre until Pellinore and\n
Helizabel got here.|

\s[2]
We just need to hold on until our\n
reinforcements arrive. Don't worry,\n
they seem fairly spread apart.|

\s[5]
Maybe this whole split up thing\n
was a bad idea as well... If only\n
I knew my father had more support.|

\s[2]
Well, I think because the staggering,\n
we'll be able to catch Sir Gorre off guard.\n
He won't expect something like that.|

\s[5]
... I sure hope so, Anglesy.|
\s[-2]

## Battle Start

## Normal Mode
## Fredegund
\f[5|Fredegund]
\s[5]
Lord Ywain, a moment of your time?|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[1|Ywain]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
What is it, Fredegund?|

\s[5]
I'm not sure if you noticed, but some\n
of the mercenaries are holding equipment\n
in addition to their weapons.|

\s[2]
Huh? Oh, like that swordsman...\n
What is that? A shield?|

\s[5]
Appears to be one. Due to it's size,\n
I doubt any of us would be unable to use\n
it, but it would slow you down a bit.|

\s[2]
Then giving it to you seems like the\n
best choice, given you're already slow.\n
... No offense, of course.|

\s[5]
None taken... I just didn't think\n
I needed two shields... Hmm...|

\s[2]
I don't think I do either, but I\n
welcome the idea of it for combat.|
\s[-2]

## Reinforcements
\g[Castle Gate]
\f[2|KnightM-1]\fc[2|Reginn]\name[2|Knight]\f[5|Gorre]
\s[2]
Captain, those... unsavory folk are\n
asking if they can get in on the battle.|

\s[5]
I'm sorry, what? Who are you...\n
Wait, you mean those bandits? Ugh.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\w[8]\f[6|KnightM-1]\fc[6|Reginn]\name[6|Knight]\o[5]
\w[32]

\f[2|BrigandM-1]\fc[2|Bandit]\name[1|Brigand]
\f[1|Morfydd]

\s[2]
Why do you all get to tear up the\n
town without us? I thought you all\n
hired us to help with the fight!|

\s[6]
... I mean, if we're being honest--|

\s[5]
Fine. Do as you please. But do not\n
get in the way of my soldiers.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Happy to hear. Be seein' ya!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\w[16]
\s[6]
Why are you still here? I thought\n
you wanted to 'tear up the town'?|

\s[1]
... I thought you all were allied\n
with Otr. Why did you take the girl?|

\s[5]
Why is that any of your business?\n
You have your role to play, and I\n
have mine. Now, get out of my face.|\n
... Hold on, now that I get a good\n
look at you, you look familiar.|

\s[1]
We have met before, Captain. I'm Morfydd.|

\s[5]
Right... Lord Ywain and I dealt with you\n
before. Yet Lord Urien decided to pardon\n
you, along with your band of freaks.|\n
Just go do what you do best.|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]\f[5|nil]\w[8]
\w[16]

\s[1]
... What's the point of any of this?|
\s[-2]

## Lion Sons
## No Renoart
\f[2|MageM-1]\fc[2|Lion Sons]\name[2|Mage]
\s[2]
This was a waste of time... Why\n
did Astigi even send us here?|\n
I doubt the boss knows about this...|
\s[-2]

## Renoart
\f[2|MageM-1]\fc[2|Lion Sons]\name[2|Mage]
\s[2]
Hmm... No sign of him here. Maybe Astigi's\n
intel was wrong, that deserter is nowhere\n
to be found. We might as well just leave.|
\s[-2]

## Church
\f[5|TroubadourF-1]\fc[5|Otr]\name[5|Nun]
\s[5]
More fighting... So many have already\n
spilled their blood, why must it continue?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|TroubadourF-2]\fc[2|Fafnir]\name[2|Nun]
\s[2]
More? Another army arrived?|

\s[5]
Yes, I believe they are from Fafnir,\n
judging from the banner they wave.|

\s[2]\r[2]
... Fafnir, huh...|
\s[-2]

## Talk Escanor x Lunete
\g[City]
\f[2|Escanor]
\s[2]
Lunete! You seem... More down than usual.\n
What's troubling you, my friend?|

\s[5]
... It's nothing.|

\s[2]
Lunete, it's me. Escanor. You can\n
tell me whatever is on your mind.|

\s[5]
Sigh... You're not going\n
to let this go, are you?|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Absolutely not. I'm like a hound dog!|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
In more ways than one...|
\s[-2]

\b[5|0]
\s[5]
How much of my past have I disclosed to you?|

\s[2]\e[2|2]
Well, I remember that deadbeat of a\n
father of yours left you at a church\n
to be raised by the sisters there.|\e[2|0]\n
... Sorry, that was probably rude.|

\s[5]
It was, you called him my father.\n
As far as I'm concerned, he's just\n
a donor. A father raises their child.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Ah... Heh, good point.\n
Why do you ask by the way?|

\s[5]
The church that I was raised in?\n
It's in the city. Just north of here.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]\m[2|2]
Wait, what? Really?|

\s[5]
Mmhmm. There was something I wanted\n
to know for sure, because my memory has\n
always been fuzzy about this subject.|\n
I want to know if I was left with a\n
younger sibling or not. My mother died\n
when I was about four, but I don't know why.|

\s[2]
Oh, so you think childbirth is what\n
killed her. I guess being back here\n
triggered those memories, didn't it?|\n
... Although, you didn't mention any\n
of this when we were here earlier.|

\s[5]
Some... things have happened since then.\n
I need to make sure... That I have no\n
one else... And never did have anyone else.|

\s[2]
Where are you going with this...?|

\s[5]
Don't worry about it, Escanor. Just\n
speaking with you has already eased my\n
nerves a bit. I'll be fine, trust me.|

\s[2]
... If you say so.|
\s[-2]

## Quinn Scene
\g[House]
\f[2|Quinn]
\s[2]
This is stupid... Hired to watch the\n
townspeople? Waste of my abilities.|\n
Well... I've already been paid...\n
Guess there's no reason to stick\n
around if I don't want this job.|
\s[-2]

## Quinn Leaves
\f[0|Quinn]\m[0|2]\w[8]
\s[2]
Hmm... I thought I heard fighting,\n
but I swore I was mistaken... I wonder,\n
who are these new unfamiliar folk?|\n
Maybe they're interested in a mage.\n
I'll see if I can determine who's\n
in charge and speak with him.|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Quinn
\g[Town]
\f[0|Quinn]\m[0|2]\w[16]
\s[2]
Hey! You, are you in charge?|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[5|Ywain]
\s[5]
Huh? Are you talking to me?|

\s[2]
Who else would I be speaking to?|

\s[5]
... Anyway, depends on who's\n
asking and what side you're on.|

\s[2]
I'm Quinn. I was hired by some guy...\n
Gorre I think his name was. But, I'm\n
not interested in working for him.|\n
Who are you? Some other mercenary?|

\s[5]
I guess you don't recognize me, I'm\n
Ywain, son of... Marquess Urien.\n
I'm fighting against his rebellion.|

\s[2]
Well, I've never met you, and I'm\n
blind, so no, I don't recognize you.|

\s[5]
Wait, blind? But, why would--|

\s[2]
Anyone hire a blind person? Rude.\n
I'm a mage, so I have the upper\n
hand when it comes to mercenary work.|\n
Not many people know how to use magic,\n
even less know how to fight against it.|

\s[5]
Sorry, that's not what I meant... I was\n
just confused how you signed a contract...|

\s[2]
Oh. It was a verbal agreement.\n
I've already been paid as well.|

\s[5]
... Do you plan on doing the same\n
thing to me if I were to hire you?|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Depends on if you waste my abilities.\n
If I get to use my magic, I'm happy.|

\s[5]
I don't plan on hiring a mage\n
to not use their magic, no.|

\s[2]
Then you can ensure I'll be\n
around for as long as you need.|

\s[5]
Hmm... Well, I want to write up\n
an actual contract, not just have\n
a verbal agreement. Does that work?|

\s[2]\b[2|1]\e[2|0]
... Fine. Just let's just go already.|
\s[-2]

## Talk Galehaut Crioxe
\g[Town]
\f[7|Galehaut]\m[7|5]\w[8]
\s[5]\w[8]
Crioxe! There you are.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Crioxe]
\s[2]
Hmm? Oh, hey Galehaut. Looks\n
like you and Pellinore made it.|

\s[5]
Indeed... Can I ask you something?|

\s[2]
Yeah, sure. Go for it.|

\s[5]
... Be honest with me, you\n
don't have amnesia, do you?|

\m[2|2]\w[8]
\s[2]
H-huh? Of course I do! I mean--|

\s[5]
Crioxe.|

\s[2]
... All right, fine. No, I don't.\n
This is just my first time in Prydain.|\n
It's easier pretending to have memory\n
loss than trying to explain where I'm\n
from or why how I got here.|

\s[5]
I... now have just more questions.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
To put it simply: I'm not from around\n
here. I'm a part of a merchant guild.|

\s[5]
Interesting... What's the name?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Er... I can't tell you that, sorry.\n
Things could happen, not sure how\n
it would affect... other things.|

\s[5]
You're being very vague, Crioxe...|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Listen, once I get a chance to map\n
all of this out, I can be more open\n
about this stuff, okay? Just not... now.|

\s[5]
Sigh... Well, if this is the best\n
I'll get, I'll take it. ... I'm just\n
relieved you're not an assassin.|

\s[2]
Hah! No, that's not me... My friend, though...|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]
\w[16]

\s[5]
Wait, friend?|
\s[-2]

## Hywel Scene
\g[Plains]
\f\f[7|Hywel]\m[7|6]\w[16]
\s[6]
Dang, they're fighting already?\n
Come on, Lord Ywain... You really\n
couldn't wait for all of us?|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]
\w[16]
\f[3|Hywel]\w[8]
\f[5|Pellinore]\f[6|Helizabel]
\s[5]
Hywel, how are things?|

\s[3]\e[3|1]
Heh... N-never better...|

\s[6]
... There appears to be fighting...|

\s[3]\r[3]
Well, you two know Lord Ywain\n
as well as I do... Maybe we\n
should be happy it's not aflame...|

\s[5]
Can you determine what's going on?|

\s[3]\r[3]
There aren't many Reginn soldiers,\n
but there are mercenaries all over\n
the place. Likely hired by Reginn.|

\s[6]
So they've made their presence known\n
in Otr already then... The traitors.|

\s[3]
Afraid so... We might as well\n
jump in the fray ourselves, right?|\n
Someone has to keep an eye on\n
Lord Ywain after all.|

\s[5]
Yes, let's go. Everyone!|
\s[-2]

## No Hywel Scene
## Hywel Scene
\g[Town]
\f[5|Pellinore]\f[6|Helizabel]
\s[5]
Finally...\w[15] We made it.\w[15] I just\n
hope we're not too late.|

\s[6]
...\w[15] There appears to be fighting...|\n
I see crests I don't recognize.\w[15]\n
Likely mercenaries,\w[5] not Reginn.|\n
However,\w[5] given our location...|

\s[5]
You think Reginn hired them?|

\s[6]
I do.\w[15] Meaning they've made their\n
presence known in Otr...\w[15] The traitors.|

\s[5]
We should find Ywain.\w[15] Come on,\w[5] everyone!|
\s[-2]

## Talk Helizabel Anglesey
\g[Town]
\f[5|Anglesey]\f[2|Helizabel]
\s[2]
Anglesey! How are things?|

\s[5]
Miss Eliza, you and Lord Pellinore\n
made it? Thank goodness... No offense\n
to Lord Ywain, but he's a bit...|

\s[2]
Hot-headed? Impulsive? Rash?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
... All of the above.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
He takes some getting used to, but\n
as long as he's still on our side,\n
I think we can make it work.|

\s[5]
I think so as well. Do you\n
have any new orders for me?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Er... No? If anything, my brother\n
would be the one giving you orders.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
... How are you regarding that, by\n
the way? Being... passed over again.|

\s[2]
Sigh... I won't say it gets any\n
easier every day. But, at least\n
I'm still able to have a role.|\n
Pellinore needs me, and I need him.\n
And that works for me. ... I think.|

\s[5]
If you ever need to talk...|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
I'll be sure to come to you.\n
Now, then. Shall we be off?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
After you, my lady.|

\s[2]
Oh, hush.|
\s[-2]

## Typhon Scene
\g[Town]
\f[2|Typhon]\name[2|???]
\s[2]
So, there are those who would oppose\n
Reginn...\e[2|1] This is very interesting.|\n
I think I will observe for now.|
\s[-2]

## Typhon Leaves
\g[Town]
\f[5|SorcererM-1]\fc[5|Kronos]\name[5|Sorcerer]
\s[5]
Master Typhon, I have a report.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\f[2|Typhon]
\s[2]
What is it?|

\s[5]
Sphinx has located the second jewel. He's\n
requesting assistance in gaining entrance.|

\s[2]
If he's located it, what does he need\n
me for? Just take it and leave.|

\s[5]
... Apparently there are... creatures in the\n
cave. They've made the extraction difficult.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
Sigh. What good are subordinates\n
if I do the work myself in the end?|\b[2|0]\n
Very well. I will Inform Echidna of this as\n
well. She will want to know of the situation.|

\s[5]
Of course. What will you have me do?|

\s[2]
Observe. I sense an opportunity\n
here should we be able to obtain\n
it. See to it that you do.|

\s[5]
Yes, Master Typhon.|
\s[-2]

## Bandit Scene 1
\g[TownRoad]
\f[7|BrigandM-1]\fc[7|Bandit]\name[7|Brigand]\m[7|5]\w[16]
\f[2|BrigandM-0]\fc[2|Bandit]\name[2|Brigand]
\s[5]
Finally! Let's get to work, boys.\n
Rip out anything not nailed down!|
\s[-2]

## Morfydd Scene
\g[Town]
\f[2|BrigandM-0]\fc[2|Bandit]\name[2|Brigand]
\f[1|BrigandM-1]\fc[1|Bandit]\name[1|Brigand]
\s[1]
Time to cut loose! War is a great\n
thing, I tell you! Banditry becomes\n
legal! Hell, it's basically encouraged!|

\s[2]
We just need to hurry up and get\n
our fill before that sour knight\n
tries to ruin our fun... Asshole.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\f[5|Morfydd]
\s[5]
... You all are fine with this?|\n
We were wanted for death not long\n
ago for banditry. We'd be dead if\n
not for Lord Urien's pardon--|

The contraband. You're not supposed\n
to have a lockpick, you know that.|

Yeah, well, it's been useful, hasn't\n
it? Don't tell me you wish I never\n

\s[2]\b[2|2]
That's not the point...\b[2|0] When father\n

the condition was to stop thievery.|\n
That's why lockpicks were outlawed.|

But, Lord Urien ended up going back on\n
his word anyway! Why does it matter?|

He may have, but I grew to accept\n

\s[2]
How's the draft going, Eliza?|

\s[5]
I think it should be fine as is.\n
I must say, I was surprised Pelly.|\n
I didn't expect you and I to have\n
the same general idea regarding\n
having a sort of bargaining option.|

\s[6]
I was too... That seemed out of character.|

\s[2]
Well, it was the only thing that\n
made sense. We can only match what\n
Lord Urien has in his hand.|\n
... Granted, I didn't know who to use\n
as a potential "hostage" though.|

\s[6]
Speaking of that... Eliza, don't you\n
think Lord Urien will see through\n
Pelly taking Ywain as a hostage?|\n
They've been friends for decades.|

\s[5]
Given that Merlina is involved, I do.|

\s[2]
Huh? What does she have to do with--|

\s[5]
Pelly, it's just us three. We all\n
know you have a crush on her.|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
H-hey! I do not! She's just my\n
friend, and... Er... Well...|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Nothing to be embarrassed about.\n
And given nearly everyone is aware of\n
this fact, there's your motivation.|\n
People will do anything for love.\e[5|0]\n
... Even the unthinkable...|

\s[2]
... Even if you were right, I wouldn't\n
kill Ywain over Merlina! They're both\n
the closest friends I have!|\n
What's the point of having only\n
one of my two best friends, huh?|

\s[6]
I suppose that's a fair point... Hmm...|

\s[2]
Huh?|

\s[6]
It's possible Lord Urien would also think\n
that... Meaning we may need a second plan.|

\s[5]
Hmm... Any ideas, Pelly?|

\s[2]
Uhh... Well...\b[2|2] Hmm...|
\s[-2]
\w[32]

\s[2]\b[2|0]
If Lord Urien calls our bluff...\n
Then we simply need a real threat.|\n
What if... we involved another nation?|

\s[5]
Another nation? That's risky, the\n
last thing we need is to be indebted\n
to someone else for our own problems.|

\s[6]
Given Avilion is involved, though,\n
it may be the best option. Were\n
you thinking about Kameloth?|

\s[2]
I was. Lady Anna is a good friend of\n
mine and Merlina's, and she's the\n
General of Wisdom for the kingdom.|\n
Her name holds a lot of weight.|\n
I also think its in Kameloth's best\n
interest that we retake Merovin,\n
given Avilion is their foe as well.|

\s[5]
Hmm... It could explode in our faces\n
should she refuse our proposition...\n
But, if she accepts, that would be\n
the best sort of insurance to have.|\n
Can you draft a letter to her? Since\n
you know her a lot better than I do.|

\s[2]
Sure. We can send a messenger to\n
slip across the border as well when\n
you pass off your message to Lord Urien.|

\s[5]
All right, then I'll see if I can\n
find a runner. Hold a moment.|

That's exactly why the Empress is\n

enough, as is, General Uther.|\n
Losing the Princess would only drag\n
it out longer. Forcing our alliance\n
with... Them to continue.|

\s[1]
... That is a fair point, General Lansalot.|

\s[5]
Speaking of Kronos, they still have not\n
found any of the gemstones, have they?|

are, it cannot be for anything good.|

We should cut ties with them as\n
soon as possible then, Empress.|

I would if I could. But, we still need\n
their strength. If any is to find out\n
where that wayward princess is hiding...|

\s[1]
You speak of the Princess of Kameloth?|

\s[5]
I do. Most believe her to be dead, but\n
we know the truth. The assassination\n
failed and she still lives.|
