I...\n
I'm terribly sorry about my wife.|\n
If I could take her place, I\n
would do so in an instant.|

\s[2]
Well, I can't exactly say that\n
my sister's health was in good\n
condition.|\n
I'm glad she lived as long as\n
she did.|

\s[5]
I'm sorry...|

\s[2]
One thing I am worried about\n
is Fir.|\n
She lost her mother at such\n
a young age...|

\s[5]
Yes...|\n
Maybe...|\n
Maybe the reason she left home\n
to train herself was that she\n
wanted to get her mind off of\n
her mother's death.|

\s[2]
Training?|\n
So Fir was traveling around\n
the continent?|

\s[5]
Yes.|\n
She said she wanted to become\n
a great swordmaster like her\n
mother.|

\s[2]
I see...|

......|

\s[2]
Bartre...|\n
What's the matter?|

\s[5]
Ah, Karel.|\n
...I was just thinking about\n
my wife.|

\s[2]
About my sister?|

\s[5]
Yes.|\n
I first met her when I was\n
traveling around the world,\n
training myself.|\n
And then...|\n
I met her at the arena.|\n
Her sword...it was almost\n
invisible.|\n
...I suffered defeat for\n
the first time in my life.|

\s[2]
...I understand.|\n
In our family, the sword is everything.|\n
We are brought up by the sword, and it\n
is all we know.|\n
The sword was so central to our lives...\n
even to the point that it blinded us\n
from our own human nature.|

\s[5]
Each time I lost, I would challenge\n
her to a rematch.|\n
And then, the third time we fought,\n
I was able to evade her first strike.|\n
I was immediately knocked out by her\n
second strike, though...|\n
When I woke up...there she was.|\n
It was the first time I saw her\n
smile.|
After that, we traveled together,\n
training ourselves alongside\n
each other.|\n
Although...\n
I was never able to defeat her.|

\s[2]
You wouldn't see my sister\n
smile very often...|\n
She must have been that\n
fond of you.|\n

\s[5]
Do you think so...?|

## Karel x Bartre A
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Bartre]
\s[5]
...After she fell sick, my wife\n
started telling me about her family\n
for the first time.|\n
She talked about her heritage, about\n
you, and...about herself.|

\s[2]
I'm sure my sister was happy to be\n
with you when she left this world.|

\s[5]
Around that time was when we\n
first met each other as well...|\n
You resembled my wife when we\n
first met.|\n
You were inhumanly strong...\n
yet dangerous, and forbidding.|

\s[2]
...Yes.|\n
That time, I left you two without\n
saying a word.|\n
You must have thought what a\n
terrible brother I was.|

\s[5]
No, not at all.|\n
While she was dying, my wife told\n
me about her childhood with you…|\n
She would tell me over and over\n
again, with a smile on her face.|

\s[2]
……|\n
Yes…I see…|

Rutger

\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Rutger]
\s[5]
!|

\s[2]
You noticed me at this distance?|\n
Impressive.|

\s[5]
...Karel, the Sword Saint.|

\s[2]
Well, what an honor.|\n
You know me?|

\s[5]
...Everyone who uses the sword\n
knows your name.|

\s[2]
Yes, well, I traveled all around\n
when I was young.|

\s[5]
...Why are you in this army?|

\s[2]
My family is here, so I joined\n
as well.|\n
I'm hoping that even my rusty\n
skills can be of use.|

\s[5]
Rusty?|\n
Even you joke around sometimes?|

\s[2]
No, I am serious.|\n
I would probably lose out to\n
you young ones.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[5]
...Interesting.|

## Karel x Rutger B
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Rutger]
\s[2]
You, please wait a moment.|

\s[5]
...What do you want?|

\s[2]
I am looking for someone to\n
spar with.|\n
Would you care to?|

\s[5]
...No.|

\s[2]
Why?|\n
Am I not a worthy opponent\n
for you?|

\s[5]
Your sword isn't used to kill...|\n
It doesn't agree with the path\n
I pursue.|

\s[2]
Perhaps you think so now, but we\n
follow the way of the sword...|\n
All paths of the sword lead to\n
the same place.|

\s[5]
......|

## Karel x Rutger A
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Rutger]
\s[2]
...Do you need something,\n
Rutger?|

\s[5]
I want to ask you something.|

\s[2]
Yes?[A]

\s[5]
I sense no hate in your sword...|\n
You seem to blend with the air\n
when you attack.|\n
Even the heaviest, strongest\n
blades can't cut through air...|\n
Your sword would beat them all.|\n
I want to become stronger.|\n
If all paths of the sword lead\n
to one place, then would I be\n
able to blend with the air\n
as you do?|

\s[2]
...You're from Sacae,\n
aren't you?|

\s[5]
...Yes.|

\s[2]
I was born in Sacae as well.|\n
I grew up under the protection of\n
of our Father the Sky, and our\n
Mother the Earth.|\n
They are all that are in my\n
sword.|

\s[5]
I'm not a pure Sacaean...|\n
I wouldn't be able to sense\n
them like you can...|

\s[2]
Was that true when you\n
were young?|

\s[5]
!!|

\s[2]
You were able to hear the sky\n
and earth once.|\n
Although it seems that your\n
hate is covering your ears.|

\s[5]
...Do you think I will be able to\n
hear them when this war ends?|

\s[2]
Of course you will.|\n
The breeze that runs through\n
the plains...|\n
It never forgets those that\n
it loves.|

Zeiss
## Karel x Zeiss C
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Zeiss]
\s[5]
You're the Sword Saint...?|

\s[2]
......|\n
...They gave me that name against\n
my will.|\n
Just call me Karel.|

\s[5]
Master Karel, I am a Dragon\n
Knight of Bern.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
...You're not going to say\n
anything?|\n
My father said you fought against\n
Bern in the past.|\n
He saw you in a rain of blood,\n
slicing all those who crossed\n
through your path...|

\s[2]
...I am through with this world.|\n
Bern, Etruria...|\n
They are meaningless words to\n
me now.|\n
I am only here for my family.|

\s[5]
...I see.|\n
If only I could think like that...|\n
But I can't...|\n
Not even after Bern has fallen...|

## Karel x Zeiss B
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Zeiss]
\s[5]
Before coming here...|\n
I fought against my older brother.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
He's not my real brother...|\n
His name was Gale.|\n
He was a Dragon Knight with equal\n
power to the Three Dragon Lords.|

\s[2]
......|

\s[5]
I always looked up to him.|\n
My sister was also very fond of him...|\n
...I never would have thought the\n
three of us would end up as enemies.|\n
I never thought that we would have\n
to fight Gale...|

\s[2]
......|

\s[2]
I'm sorry...|\n
Have I bored you?|

\s[5]
No, not at all.|\n
A life story can never\n
be boring.|

## Karel x Zeiss A
\f[2|Karel]\f[5|Zeiss]
\s[2]
Zeiss.|

\s[5]
Yes?|

\s[2]
Why...|\n
Why did you tell me that\n
story?|

\s[5]
...I thought that you would\n
be able to guide me...|\n
Perhaps you would be able to help\n
me get rid of my hesitation...|

\s[2]
...Unfortunately, I don't have any\n
words of guidance for you.|\n
But...|\n
I can say this.|\n
It is you who must carve\n
your own path.|

\s[5]
......|

\s[2]
Zeiss...|\n
I think you already\n
have an answer.|

\s[5]
...Maybe.|\n
Perhaps...|\n
I just wanted someone to tell\n
me that the path I chose wasn't\n
a mistake.|

\s[2]
Then...|

\s[5]
Yes, I understand now.|\n
I chose to turn against my country...|\n
And I won't regret that decision.|
